AN ORPHAN'S DREAM OF HOME. Out in the West far, far away, Toward the setting sun, There ia a land -ah yes, a homeTo which my thoughts still ruo. Now as I there in fancy go, wander round alont.

Doctor Thomas' Eclectric Oil. 12 Spent Fifty Dollars In doctoring for rheumatism, before I tried Thomas Eclectric Oil. Used a so-cent bottle of this medicine. and got out in one week. For burns and sprains it is excellent.
Jas. Durham, East Pembroke, N. Y. Von Can Depend On It. For severe 'Toothache and Neuralgia of the head, used Thomas' Eclectric Oil.
This is certainly the best thing 1 ever knew for the relief of pain of any kind. The house is never without it. Mrs. M. Frank, 177 Tupper Street, Bufalo, N.
Y. 106 Speaks Right Up. Have tried Thomas' Eclectric Oil for croup and colds, and find the best remedy I have ever used in my family. Wm. Kay, 510 Plymouth Buffalo, N.
Y. 30 Worked Wonders. My daughter was very bad off on account of cold, and pain i4 her lungs. Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil cured her in four hours, One of the boys was cured of sore throat.
This medicine has worked wonders in our family." Alvale Pinckney, Luke Malupac, N. Y. New Orleans. New Awlins" as they call it here--is not an imposing city. Much of its area is three or four feet below the Mississippi, river, which forms a double crescent like the letter.
S. The distance back to Lake Pontchartrain is about four miles, the west? end being the summer resort on the Jake. The famous shell road" is the avenue in this direction. Within the city. the wider streets are lined with trees and grass, in the center.
All kinds of outlandi-h names abound. When you bear what. sounds like tula be sure to ask how it is spelled, and you will learn that it is In the narrow streets, and indeed in some of the wider, small streams of dirty, water issue from the houses and stores and run for rods before they seek the under-surface canals, whence the contents are pumped into the Lake Pontebartrain. The pavemeuts are of great blocks, poorly laid, over which the broad-axled cotton vans are constantly making a racket. Several litt.e open spaces are dignitied with the name of squares, one of them formerly the circle -being named after the monument to Lee.
and another bearing the name of Jackson, the president. Along narrow sidewalks ladies are in summer attire, while the diminutive policemen look on as if they were in dread lest some street fracas should call them into active The horse cars are filled with smokers as they trundle lazily along after the single mule harnessed with a cheap arrangement of ropes. The business blocks of New Orleans are inferior. The theaters are reminders of those in Havana and Mexico, the fashionable part is the balcony, and no lady ever goes into the parquet. The St.
Louis cathedral is a plain. stone building that is hardly worth a visit. The cemeteries are of great interest, the Lafayette, one of the oldest. is inclosed with a high stone wall, and the entrance to it is through a narrow gateway. The graves are all above ground, as they are in all the New Orleans cemeteries, and the little burial houses are so close together, that it looks impossible to find room for another body.
An enterprising man has just erected a tomb in which he will let spaces for the burial of single bodies. Narrow walks wind among these dwelling-houses of the dead, with which the entire inclosure is tilled. The inscriptions show that the occupants came from the French provinces. St. Charles street is the fashionable avenue for residences.
Nearly all of them are built of wood at an elevation, to keep them from the water. 'They stand in the midst of large yards, in which orange, magnolia, and lemon trees are in full foliage, and great quantities of flowers are in blossom. The front gates are locked and the visitor must ring a bell before he cau reach the front door. Every house has a large exterior tank for rain water. Many of these tanks are three stories high and resemble Chinese pagodas.
