A Trip to the Cabildo.
History relates that New Orleans
has preserved its old social charm and
half-foreign character, which makes it
different from any other American
city. This fact is mostly true in the
lower portion of the city, which is
known as the French quarter.
1t is this quaint, old fashioned and
yet most interesting part of the Cres-
cent City that was visited on Tuesday
last by the pupils of the Eighth Grade
A of Belleville school.
The class first visited the old ST.
Mary's church, or most commonly
known as the Old Bishops church,
which is most curious and interesting
when compared in the light of the
other modern and beautiful churches
of this city.
The adventure loving girls cast curl
GUS glances down dark alleys which led
to the rear of old French houses, now
used as tenements and inhabited most
ly by Italians, Frenchmen and Span
iards.
Opposite the Cabildo stands Jack
son Square, known during the time of
French and Spanish rule as the Place
|d'Armes, and which contains a hand
some monument, in honor of Andrew
Jackson, erected by and inscribed with
this motto, "The Union must and shaH
be- preserved"
The Cabildo was the next point of
interest and the girls journeyed there
to view modern and ancient relics and
so forth of Louisiana.
Within the great iron gate. stands
an army wagon and cannon used dur
ing the civil war. The lower floor of
the building contains mostly many
specimens of bird, animal and fish
life. One room on this floor was the
meeting place of the supreme court OF
Louisiana, which now holds its ses-
sions in the new courthouse, and on
the walls are displayed pictures of the
different members at different times.
In a room to the side are various
products of Louisiana which are pre-
served in alcohol. On the upper floor
is a collection of geological, botanicaf
specimens. Another room contains
the different farm products and other
interesting and important facts in the
history and welfare of the state.
