THE
FRENCH MARKET AT
NEW ORLEANS.
A European tourist who visited our city in
ante bei.um times has lately published inter
esting reminiscences of his Southern travels,
some portions ot which will doubtless be
read with pleasure by our town-folk.
One hears but doleful accounts nowa
days of New Orleans. Her glory has de
parted. On her once bold and briili nt brow
is written Ichabod.
What with the disastrous results of the
American civil war, the damage to commerce,
the misrule of ignorant negroes, the ravages
of "carpet-baggers," crevasses, and latterly
downright bloodshed and temporary revolu
tion, only stamped out by the heel of military
authority, the once proud and prosperous
Crescent City is at a deplorable discount.
Excepting hapless Ch irhston, her pioneer in
secession, no Southern metropolis has suf
fered so much.
The whilom opulent and prodigal cotton
and sugar planters, whose business and expen
ditnre constituted two-thirds of the business
of the place, are ruined, or struggling inef
fectually to accommodate themselves to an
entirely new and half-chaotic state of things
the brokers and merchants are impoverished
the people generally discouraged, and all but
despairing.
Hut how great was the prosperity of New
Orleans in the old anti-secession times ! What
a wonderful sight was its levee ! correctly
described by an American writer as "a spec
tacle without parallel on the face of the globe,
because presenting the whole scene of the
city's industry iu one view." What miles of
steamboats there were ; what acres of cotton
bales and sugar hogsheads, and how various,
how picturesque, how busy were its popula
tion ! Besides the diversities of native growth
and color in themselves continental—there
you beheld a miscellaneous concourse of Eng
lish, French, derm ms, Italians, Spanish,
Portuguese, (irecks and Sicilians, exhibiting
quite n kaleidoscopic medley of the human
family.
How brilliant, too, was Canal street with its
beautiful Creole belles of American descent,
faultlessly attired Transatlantic French women
and dark-eyed representatives of the Spanish
inhabitants of the city. What monuments of
garish prosperity and semi-tropical bright
ness, luxury and profusion, were its vast ho
tels, where the planter.-,' wives and daughters
flaunted iu morning silks and satins, and low
necked dresses, and sparkling jewelry, and
innumerable rings over their kid-gloved lin
gers, while their husbands and fathers would
"knock down a few bales" before breakfast,
in treating friends to "champagne cock-tails;"
or, congregate in the far-famed rotunda cl the
fit. Charles.
Perhaps there was no more characterise
locality within its precincts than the famous
French Market, situate on the townward mar
gin of the levee, adjac nt to Jackson Squire.
It comprised three separate divisions, devoted
respectively to the sale of tut at. vegetables
and seeds. There was nothing r. markable
architecturally about th erections, which
were only so many open sheds, containing
shops or stalls; hut their Ntleenu u and fre
quenters the scene in general—formed one ot
the acknowledged '-lion.-, " ot the ci'y.
To see the French Market to advantage,
it was uecc-s ary to get no pivt y early, most
business being transacted iu New Orleans, ns
in other semi-tropical or tropical localities,
before the heat of the day. Accordingly, we
will cross the square named aft .r the hero ol
the city at <i A. M., at which time the suu,
whose good example we have imitated, is
making a long and fantastic shadow of the
equestrian statue in the center, and throws
it slanting athwart the shelly paths.
Plunging iucontiuf ntiy into the meat mar
ket, a great clatter of coll'ee-cups, a cheery
cliumpiug as of chopping meat, various cries
and polyglot invitations to buy, an omni
present "hum and hustle, with other sights,
scents and soumis of traffic- all these a wait
us. The butchers are naturally lords para
mount of the scene. Here are butchers ro
tund, sturdy and civil, the Anglicism of their
features Americanized by three generations'
descent; butchers ot the old French type, so
elderly, clean shaven and ob-equious that you
would not be surprised at a pig-tail being
whisked i u'.o your fice during their bri.-k ges
ticulations; butchers akin to the modern
Parisian, with tiie closest cropped heads ;
butchers more or less remarkable, bat all
busy, and all more or less anirn iti d. Here,
also, are some negro butchers, hut generally
in a subordinate capacity.
The demeanor of all present, whether buy
ers or sellers, white, b ack or t arti-colored,
is less bru~que and practically d mocratic than
that observable at a sonil tr scene at the North.
There is, indeed, a mutual, simple courtesy,
very pleasing to contemplate. It contrasts
remarkably with what one sees at some of the
minor markets of New York city, say Ji fi'erscu
market, with its horrid avenues of bleeding
and greasy carcasses; its bawling butchers, its
shouldering, pushing, crowding and jos ling
purchasers; its noisome and rut-haunted floors.
A butcher from such a locality would be out
of place in the French Market of New Orleans,
a roaring phenomenon, frightening away in
stead of attracting customers.
Let us stand aside from the throng and
scrutinize some of the most characteristic
personages ot the scene. There is one, an
old lady, quietly dn ssed, p rhaps iu mourn
ing, attended by her one. negro, dutifully
carrying her market-basket, to convey home
her humble purchases. Observe that shrewd
looking business-like man, dressed in a suit
of black alpaca, resembling broadcloth, at
whose appearance a butcher the one pos
sessing the best furnished stall in the market —
promptly abandons two or three less impor
tant customers, turning them over to the at
tentions of his less popular assistant. Sharply
the goodly j
t on the waiter, or dependent
he g'.auces over
joiuts
from the
row of hooks; decisively he gives his orders,
respectfully are they listened to and promptly
obeyed. \Virii the air of a man whose time
is of value, he bustles oil' to the poulterer's,
the fishmonger's, the vegetable market, whith
er wo will presently follow. Could you mis
take him ? That is the caterer for some great
hotel or popular n stauraut, who, whatever
the prices, must have the best the market
affords. See, he lias just exchanged a nod
and a word of recognition with another per
sonage worth looking at. This is a middle-aged
man, attired in white from head to loot, with
a broad-brimmed l'anama bat, and smoking
a curiously curia d au. I angular cigar, of
choice " plantation" brand, which he proba
bly imports from Cuba himself. He is clean
shaven and looks not unlike an English
country gentleman or merchant, though his
countenance is, perhaps, too sunburnt, high
toned and nervous to entirely justify th it
comparison. His manner is quiet, intent an 1
self-respective less demonstrative than that
of most Northern men, albeit very likely be-1

sion. That is some sugar or cotton planter, j likely
whom curiosity has tempted irotu his luxurt-,

Veranda, to view tin scene. Ho owns some to
thousands ol acres, up or do-vn Stockt-on.

much as is possible under such a relation
ship; indeed, their greatest apprehension is
that his death will some day necessitate n sale
or division of them—one of the direst con
tingencies inevitable to o] aV e life. He Is, in
sooth, a kind master, and a liberal and court
eous gentleman. Visit him on his plantation,
you shall be entertained with the utmost
hospitality. Only on one topic he is a mono
maniac—of course that is slavery. 11 he could
hut look forward a few years and foresee what
it is to cost him ! His sons will not be per
suaded from accepting commissions
the Confederate army; his slaves will
run oil ; Lu- himself will be ruined; perhaps
his very plantation will be turned into a Yan
kee camp. Happily he is all unconscious of
the luture, and so strolls on pleasantly enough,
enjoying the spectacle, his cigar and the hue
summer morning.
Let us rest awhile at tins coffee stall, and
refresh ourselves with a cup of that fragrant
beverage, eschewing, however, the small strips
of highly bilious pic crust, gratuitou-ly thrown
in by the vendor, a civil negro, who talks
French with surprising correctness. Leaving
this department, we emerge upon an irregular
open space, occupied by stills and side-walk
peddlers. Here is a little world of traffic,
including all sorts of miscellaneous mer
chandise. Bakers' stalls, stalls for the
sale of cheap jewellery and ornaments,
confectionery, tinware, boots and shoes, es
sences, pipes, sausages, crinoline, thread and
yarn, brooms, plants, crockery, hose, fruit,
cheap edibles, and much more than one can
either recollect or chronicle, eugross the en
tire area, bordered to the right and left by a
lane of <d fresco merchants, and terminating
on the other in an island of three dusky red
houses. < )f course these out-of-doors' trades
fedks— the guerillas of commerce—and their
wares have their peculiarities. Here you may
see the sharply cut face of a French bakeress
retailing bread in a shape which literally justi
fies its appellation ot the staff of life,
or fashioned like a hoop, or an immense eel
tied in a double knot and pulled tight; there
is a fat negress, her head decorated with the
inevitable turban handkerchief, tempting
iptiug a
comely mulatto woman, wi;h a soft-skinned,
eurly-haircd boy clinging to her skirts, by
the display of gingerbread fishes or dolls that
resemble rudimentary babies; elsewhere, a
slight girl, whose refined face would pro
cl dm In r lady, were her dress thrice as shabby
as it is, turns away from a fantastically-shaped
eau-de-cologne bottle enthusiastically recom
mended by a hook-no,ed Italian. Nor these
alone; there are entire groups that, skillfully
trauterred to canvas, mrght make a painter's
reputation.
Such, for instance, as that Indian family ot
three women, as many children, and two
young men, the latti r looking on in bright
tartan shawls and lordly idleness, while the
squaws squat silently upon the ground await
ing customers for their stock of roots, herbs
and gumbo—the latter material for delicious
soup, looking like green powder. There is a
brisk demand for it, especially among the
colored population, and the contents of the
little sacks diminish apace, while plenty of
'picayunes" and " bits " are put into the
almost pa-sive hand of one of the women.
All the party have long, straight black hair
and faces corroborative ot the Tartar hypothe
sis of the Indian race.
Passing amidt and through the motley
throng of Creoles, Dagoes, Indians, Negroes,
.Sicilians and others, we enter the \ egetable
Market, and lind ourselves surrounded oy :!n*
Pomona and Flora of Louisiana. Brow ; of
banauis of various colors, from green thron

eat dogue their glorious prodigal variety.
Only the dower market of Paris eaa equal
Here arc more stalls, which now exhibit a
tendency to tin-ware lamps, and a very mixed
population. 1 suppose nowhere, since the
dispersion of the builders of J label, could be
heard such polyglot vociferations as proci c-ded
from the sidewalk peddlers in the French
Market at New Orleans. On ouo side, the
gesticulativeG.ini, who rolls his "r's" wi:L
such canine emphasis in the utterance of
his native language, or Gallicises the English
appellation of the moff popular of vegeta
bles into "pa-ta-tas!" or informs you that
the price o: a bird is "Two bit! two bit!—
you no like him, you no hub him !"
On another the guttural German vociferates
with as harmonious an effect as might be pro
duced by the tiling of a saw; while, oh a third
and fourth, the creole, S.cilian and Dago
rival each other in vocal discord. Fancy all
this, and throw iu any amount ot obstrep
erous, broad-mouthed, gleeful negro laughter,
and you have s uuo slight idea ot the sounds
audible at the locality' 1 lauv* undertaken to
describe.

From tlio stalls we approach the s< • d
marke*, which also includes various miscel
laneous wares. Besides grain in the shape
pearly rice, b<- ius, peas, and other kinds, con
trasting pleasantly in color, and put tip iu
pleih rie little sicks there are tiffi, poultry
and game; the former lying on cool, leaden
counters, and with a large flag-weed inserted
iu their months, tar the convenience of pur
chasers. 1 he display of shtll-iisli is amaz
ing'.
There are enormous oysters, of various
shapes, many ot which it would certainly lie
necessary to cut up into four mouthfuls be
fore eating ; tubs full of live crabs and lob
sters, holding on to each other with desperate
tenue ty ; a id shrimp , alive and dead. 1 tried
tish there is, also, in great variety. A* the
poultry stalls one sees the queer auiioune •
ment, "Creole eggs, 1 which has a ludicrous
elt et. to a stranger, though it simply nn aus
eggs of native production not imported.
And among the game are many .specimens
ot whit one might at first be excused for mis
taking for a diabolical bit, split open, with a
rat's bead and longish legs, but which is, in
reality, that African delicacy, a " 'coon " 1
believe it tastes something like pork, only
richer.
Emerging from the seed market, we come
upon carts an 1 wagons, containing corn
wheat, hay, and fuel, iu various shapes, and
other country produce, and a great crowd of
chattering negro teamsters. Beyond stretches
the levee, with all its multifarious activities
in full operation.

BOl'IiB » WHISKY.
Name Original cd and Who First
Distilled It.
[The Pioplo.J
It was during the latter part of Washing
ten's last administration that the noted whis
ky rebellion of Pennsylvania took place. At
that time the mountain recesses of the Alle
ghenies, west of what is now known as tire
Cumberland Valley, was the great whisky dis
trict of the country. It was very sparsely set
tled. All the grains that were r' own, save a
scant supply tor provender for the live stock
and food lor the inhabitants, was distilled into
whisky upon what is now known as tlio "sour
mash, hand-made, copper-distilled plan."
Soon a large demand for'these whiskies sprang
up in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the
supply being limited, a "ring" was formed,
a " dorner " made, and the goods put up at
high figures.
The National Government, then as now,
was hard pressed for revenue. Bepudiition
was then staring it in the face, and it was
without money at home or credit abroad. A
happy thought struck the Congre Tonal dele
gation from New England. It was—as it
would not tax Utrir constituents a dollar—to
levy a tax of $500 on each still that was used
for manufacturing spirits. Their ideas were
enacted into laws. The following season
revenue officers were sent out from Washing
ton to assess and collect the tax. The distill
ers previously met, formed a union, and upon
the airival ot the officers defied them to put
their laws iuto force. Lire officers, upon tin ir
arrival in the insurrectionary distrir , seeing
they could not execute the law, and fearing
he loss of their lives, returned in haste to
Washington.
By this tune the season was far advanced,
an ! it was decided upon the part ot the au
thorities to wait for the beginning of the
next season, before agun attempting to en
force the collection of the tax. The folio
mg f ill the officials, backed up then, as no
by the over-ready "troops," sot out on their
mission again. They arrived at the anticipa
ted .scenes of their trouble in due time, but
they met with an unexpected disappointment.
The. distillers had decided that there was to
he no more distilkition until the law was re
pealed. The officers, alter haling marched
tp the hill, again marched down. Thus
ended the rebellion.
Many of the old frontiersmen, tired of being
harrassed in front by the Government, and in
the rear by the Indian-, determined to plung
boldly into the then unexplored wilderness
beyond the mountains. Among this number
was a man named Shawlian. lb had a large
family, was well to do, and, packing every
thing that he had that was necessary for such
a hfe-long expedilion into a wagon, he set
acro.-s lire mountains. He took with him the
cause of his removal, the "still." Two
months lut; r (this was about the full of lT'.t'i),
he aud his family, consisting ot Lis wife and
several children, were busily engaged iu
Bourbon county, Kentucky, on Townsend
Creek, erecting temporary cabins to shelter
them during the winter. The country was
full ol wild animals and still wilder Indians.
It was twenty miles to the nearest fort.
By tact and skill they avoided coming into
contact with the savages. When the long
w inter in the wilderness was over, they, hav
ing during the meantime cleared away a few
acres, pi luted a patch of corn. An abundant
harvest greeted them for their labor. The
"still" having been erected it was put iuto
operation, and then it vvas that the first whis
ky i v r manufactured in Ken":/ : y, or the
Mississippi Valley, occurred.
Iu Pennsylvania they called whisky "Mon.
