A PECULIAR CITY.

We found New Orleans of kind
and character quite at variance with
the city of our Imagination. IL Is
quaint and possesses many OF the
characteristics Of Norfolk, Va. We
visited the Pythian Temple and we
found a seven story brick structure
of yellow fire-proof brick. It's main
handicap is the naTrowness of Gra-
vier and Saratoga Streets at this
point The best view is from the
rear as seen from Canal Street just
two blocks beyond.
