C 9 - Special Coarcqoaaenee.l Nav OsiXaSS, Nov. 21. OTHIXO, perhaps, femora striking in the cities and towns of the gulf coast, -to northern visitors, than thi cemeteries. The dead are laid away in tombs built V above ground. Water is often found ao Dear the asrfBca that grave of even shallow depth All up at once, uid there is an aversion to -pottaog- the newly deed dawn into the wet earth. Time dulls tbo edge of grief, however, and as the grim monarch rails for more room the old must pive way to the new., There .is no formality now, no praj ers and no tears; only a matter of fact job for the sexton, who opens the vault, rates out the bones, and makes such disposition of tbem as he may, and the re ivptacle is ready for the next occupant. While out walking the other day in the old port of Hie town, we noticed down the street Mcral monuments towering high above a vtuuc wall. Strolling that way we aoon reached the comer of Conti and Basin " street, and stood at the entrance of the old est cemetery in. the city.'' On each side of the " gateway were the offices. 'A boy sat tiltad back in a chair by the open gate, and in re ply to our question bad ns enter, and, fol lowing us in, volunteered to show us the sights. There was no wagon road, the tombs and vaults were too thick, the foot paths .every here barely wide enough to allow the passage of the bier and its bearers. The walks were very irregular, and there were but few trees; there was no room for trees, -room only for the dead. When the first lmrial was made New Orleans was known as Bienville, and that was MO years ago. Every day for more than a century mourners have .passed in and left their dead, , and still they come daily, indeed, almost hourly. The very generations of the dead Are swept away, and tomb inherits tomb. How true these words of Byron, for here toratx are literally built .upon tombs, and mixed with the tiny shells in the walks must' have been the dost of men. Where is be who said that all of the continents were not large enough to bold the dead of the world's past! Why, here in four acres were more than GO,0uU There are no green swards nor flower lied, nothing under foot except sheila, but up over the tombs flowering vines and ivy cling, and under the close growing leaves the birds build their nests upon the masonry. The winged inhabitants of the air that fly in terror from the homes of the living are fear fcss here among the abodes of the dead.

When full and room is aiceded for the later dead the oldest recepta cle is opened, the remains tsken out and dumped into what the boy called the "cel lar,'' a vacant space left In to center of the structure for this very putpoae. One ven erable old ile pointed out by our youthful guide had iu cellar full from bottom to top, withb'ulU and bones thrown in indiscrimi nately. Hundreds had been laid away, ten derly and tearfully, in toe front apartments of the old tomb, but subsequently dragged out and disposed of in this gha$ly manner "N'owaud then a tomb was placarded ''For ia? or "For rent." Death and the grave are solemn and awful realities, and nowhere is that fact more tividly impressed upon one's mind than among them "low tirow'd murky vaults, fttrr'd round with misty damps and ropy tIime."

The Mormons' have done the United States the high honor of proposing a treaty, or. rather, a bargain. Put in plain English, this is their proposition r "tie nave ueen violating tno anti polygamy law of 1KB for twenty-fie years because we believe the Almighty commanded us to take extra wives, and the government for a long time made ao serious opposition; but now the government is putting our best men in the penitentiary; therefore, if the United States congreaa will admit Utah, as a state, we will disobey tbelaw of God as we understand It and aloliih, polygamy, putting a prohibitory clause in our state constitution. In other words, dearly beloved, we will 'be good' if you will be kind and let us have our own way in all other matters." It is definitely pro posed that a great government shall stoop from its dignity and make a bargain with men who begin with an acknowledgment that they have violated the law heretofore. The proposition that tbe Mormons shall abolish polygamy first and ask for statehood after ward is repudiated with scorn. It k scarcely necessary to point out the ob vious fact that the state of Utah, once in the Union, could alter its constitution at will, or its legislature ignore the anti inlygamy clause. The proiKxutiou gives us the right to examine Mormon history to determine whether they are sincere. By tbeir own account they be gan the practice of polganrj- in Nauvoo, Il linois, in 1M3, pursuant to revelation given on the 12th of July of that year, and about Uie same time they commenced denying the prac tice and denouncing it in their publications. On the 1st of February, 1SH, the heads of the church published in Tbe Tunes and Sea sons, church organ at Nauvoo, an official de nunciation of polgamy. On the 15th of March following, a still stronger denial was published. In July, IMS, a specific denial was issued in The Millennial Star, the Mor mon paper in Liverpool, England. In May, IS, the same organ repeated tbe denial. In the meantime the Mormons had been driven from Nauvoo; Col (since Gen.) Thomas L. Kane, brother of the arctic explorer, trav eled with them in Iowa, and was the guest of Brigham Young, who solemnly assured him that the charge of polygamy was a vile slander. CoL Kane certified this to the government and American people; President Fillmore accepted his testimony as correct and appointed Brigham Young governor of Utah. In July, 1S50, Elder John Tayl-r, since president of the Mormon church, offi cially denied and denounced polygamy in France. About tbe same time the Mormon elders revised and published the "Doctrine and Covenants' their official discipline in which they inserted a clause denouncing and forbidding plurality of wives. All the mis sionaries were instructed to deny tbo doc trine and practice, and did ao in England with the most solemn oaths. For nine years 1843 to 1852 these official denials con tinued.' 'The Mormons now freely admit that they told and published these falsehoods to deceive tho American people and secure full control of the territory, and that a perse cuted people is justified inlying to deceive the Gentiles. How can we believe their present promises! But polygamy is only one reason, and not the greatest, against admit ting Utn; tne real evil, ineaisunctively un Amerrtatn evil, is the theocracy which con trols ta territory. The Mormons have de clared a thousand times that they do not want and will not have an American de mocracy; they want "the kingdom of God, administered by his prophets, priests and apostles. And a theocratic despotism is one of the things the American people are deter mined not to have set up anywhere in this nation. J. B. Fabex. Boom Where Washington Died.

RETURN OF THE GYPSIES. Dlekerlng with Unfortunate Farmers. I.alng by a Winter's Stork or Hay. Thus many return to tho cities to their nctu.il habitations, which may have stood idle '.lip summer through.

Tlsousands , wander into the central south for all winter dickering and trading there." Many return to their vil lage homes, over or alongside' mammoth barns, where a winter's gyjwy jockeying is done. Great crowds of them, not yet so well along as 'their brethren in gain ings, straggle into the cities. In the com moner quarters these turn their hands to bird training, basket weaving, training nn.d trading in valuable cats and does. while hundreds of gypsy , youtlis secure reauy employment unuer gentlemen s groocis, ami particularly at the care of horses lieing fitted for the next year's events of the turf. Still others, and these oomnriso the larger number, come troop ingjnto thousands of little Tillages and countryside places throughoutHhe south ern portions of northern states and in tho northern tier of southern states, arriving as early as the last'October days. Tbe movements of these provide, a genuine gypsy study. Their arrival is hardly noticed, as they never come in a large liody"; hut in twos and threes, and it is often weeks before the little gyp-y community is at its best. The vanguard lias quietly rented some deserted roadside inn at the outskirts of the village, or some former spacious home long gone to decay. This is always got for a song. However much house room it may liae, it muft invariably possess the requisite of a great ramshackle ham and outlying sheds. For a little time the gyp- siesseem lo merely exist here. But every uay tuir wiik?ii iuik may ue mu uuien away, spinning in light buggies over the autumn roads, in every direction. Not only are they found on the well traveled highways, but every grass grown wagon road leading to secluded and remotest farms has been hunted and haunted. At this home and that; there tarrying un der preterite of admiring some animal; there making a trifling purchase of vegetables and poultry; over yonder bar tering for, but never buy ing, grain and liay; again telling a fortune or two if appealed to; but seldom urging such profitable vocation in a little time these canniest and most indomitable of all hu man detectives liave at their tongue's end, for homo retersnee. every possible item of information regarding the finan cial standing and condition of every farmer for half a county round. Then of a sudden some luckless wight, under terror of an overdue note) or re lentless mortgage, has sold his cornfield "in the shock' to the gypsies. Another's weather browned stacks of hay have come into tlieir possession. Then begins, and to continue the whole winter through, n ceaseless procession of young stock, horses and mules, toward the gypsies' temioraTy domicile. Drunken fanner, unfortunate farmer, thriftless fanner, in all directions, pays the penalties of ill doing or ill luck to the- superb jockeys, who, buying for pittances, and for months selling at excellent prices or not at all, at their improvised market, make large profits; and the spring finds them ready for greedy city buyers with great numbers of stock transformed from shaggy, ambling leasts to animals of such splendid form and spirit as do even a city gypsy trader's eyes good to look upon. The amount of live stock thus gathered up every winter throughout the country is tremendous; the profits are inconceivably great, and tliese wixards of the stable must eventually largely con trol the entire horse trade of the country.

There is a peculiar story in relation to the large, creamy looking blocks of candy tliat have lieen jiedilleil around the streets for the last month or so, and a story, too, vith n romance. Several months ago a Turk strolled into an uptown confectionery anil made some purchases m the candy line. He re marked after eating a few that the flavor was pretty good, hut far inferior to a certain concoction known to his country men. The proprietor U-gan to grow in terested, and before the Turk had left agreed to employ two of his cousins, who were candy makers in Turkey, if he (the Turk) would import them. Som two months later tho Turks arrived on the the steamship Helvetia. By relating some wonderful yarns of their abilities as candy makers the emigration commis sioners allow eii them to is. although they hail doubts as to whether or not they vreio "contract I.ilior." They went to tho confectioner and for scleral weeks made "real Turkish candy" on a salary. Two weeks ago they "struck" for higher wages, and not get ting them left in a lull". They hired a little place over on the east side and put out a gaudy business sign. New York Star. Long IlUtanrn Telephoning.

II. L. Stoddard, tie" New York correspondent of The Philadel" pliia Press, says that at his office in tins city he has secured connection with his office in Philadelphia by a long distance telephone, over which he nightly trans mits all his news instead of using tele graph service. The Philadelphia News lias a similar Ulephono connection ith this city. The distance from New York ;o Philadelphia is nlnetv-five miles, but Hie sound of the io(.'e is transmitted much mon clearly than by telephone in this city, where the induction caused by the enormous number of w ires covering the citv closely is so great as to seriously disturb transmission. The use of the tele phone in the sending of news lias not been sufficiently tested to compare it thoroughly with telegraphic service, but Mr. Stoddard saya that it has jnany ad vantages, and predicts that it will come into general use.
