To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal;In answer to many letters from friendsin Indiana I l>ejt I" ay through your pa-

per that ever. possihl danger fioir yellowfever is gone, and I hat the region 'latelyscourged by the npideinlo scums now tin—-nsnailv healthy, Now Orleans is alreadyHlled with tourists and visitors from thenorth. The oily has been thoroughlycleaned and fumigated, and I was struckby the gay and buoyant ainrit of the peo-ple in the streets, From Mobile to NewOrleans the 1., and N. Kailway runs closebeside the shoreline of I lie Uitlfof Mexico,with a station at each of the coast resorts.Going westward from Mobile the llrstplace is Scranton, on I’ascilgonla liny;then follow Ocean Springs, MississippiCity, Calf Port, Ililoxl, Puss Christianand Hay St. Louis. All are beautifulplaces looking out upon the gulf of Mexi-co. The y ellow fever in all these townsw as the mildest type; so mild, Indeed,thatthe good people hull believe Unit it wasyellow fever at all. It was yellow fever,however, beyond doubt: lint it is gone,end very few persons died of it. What Iwish particularly to say is that no north-ern person need have the least fear aboutcoining lo the const or to Now Orleans.Since I have been hero—wo arrived onUeeoiuher 22—there has been a sharpfreeze, so hard that it, burst water pipesin our hotel. Three white frosts followedthe freeze, and now the air is clear andcrisp.

Mat'd! Gras this year falls on the 22<1 ofFebruary, and the preparations tor its ce-lebration tiro unusually extensive. Al-ready the choicest rooms in all of the ho-tels, hoarding houses and private placeslire being spoken for by purlieu from thenorlli anil oust, and Ibo attendance bidsfair to be greater Ilian ever before. 11, isgood look for New Orloiuia to have this(annum carnival come ho early Ibis year.February is usually the jewel mon th ofthe year here. The rainy season is thenover, the rose gardens are in full blow, allnature is in a gush of splendor, and everything has a tropical expression.

We have been here more than a monthduring which thecity of Now Orleans amithe lovely coast resorts have hud almostunprecedented health. I teel that 1 can-not make the statement too strong. Thereis no more danger hero from yellow feverIlian there is danger from it in Indianap-olis or Crawfordsville. If yon desire toOmni', don’t, hesitate on that account.

A word may bo worth while about theaccommodations I u visitors and touristsMobile is a very attractive oily, withplenty of exoollonl hotels and ImaVdlnghouses. Each one of the const towns that1 have mentioned has good hotels. AtFuss Christian there is a very' tine largohouse with [every modern improve-ment. At Biloxi the iieeinnodations arepleasant and the town is a thriving place.Bay St, Louis, the nearest gull coast townto Now Orleans, lias a very agreeable lit-tle hotel, whore I he morning train may botaken at 7 o’clock, landing yon in NewOrleans at 0. Yon can return in the even-ing nt 5:50 or a*, 0:30, ns yon like, givingyon a whole day in the city.

I prefer staying at one of the coast townhotels. Hero the sen air is full of invigor-ating qualities, and the walks and drivesare delightful. At Puss Christian andBay St, Louis there is a shell road alongIjiosea bind tor miles. 1 have found thebieyeliPg here Hie pleasantest llml f everbad - tile shell rpads nreeven betrer thana einder tt'iOk, Indeed, Hie pulverizedoysljgr-WWMIs form a surface Hint is likeAfhie pressed hard. Yesieiday 1 rude manymiles, all (ho way witli the bine sea tum-bling on one side, and on the other theembowered homes of people who makethis a summer paradise.

But it was not my purpose lo get intoa descriptive vein of ink. So many lettershave come to mo Hun I have been quiteunable to answer them—most of themliom persons (iiisny of them invalids) whowi-di to come son lit lor a. while, and yet.fear that some lurking danger of yellow[ever makes it imprudent. There is nolever here; there is no danger.

One word about something to oat: Ilike ilsli, oystore, crabs and game. Since1 have boon here wo have bad venison,wild turkey, trout, red tlsh, Spanishmaekere', buss, slieepsheiiil, oralis, oys-ters, shrimp, mullet, mid 1 don’t knowwhat—everything Hint’s wild and good,washed down with French colfoo andvery good claret,

I' loin Indianapolis to New Orleans is ashort, swift run over the 1,. & N. or theQueen and Crescent, By the first yonlake a sleeper at Louisville at about 8in tho evening and arrive at New Orleansabout Bin tbo next evening, and aboutthe same time is made by tlio other line,

St. Valentine.Who is it that lias not received a valen-

tine? Just as well ask who is it who busnot bad a sweetheart.Monday Will bo St. Valentine’s, and tho

remainder of the month Cupid will boldhigh carnival. Tbo post ollloe departmoot will get its shave ot the activity—Uncle Sam will epap the stnlf.

Are we growing more apeople of senti-mentalists? Never did one hear so muchas now of people buying Hie little cardswith lace border and center of gold, withllamiug heart and the lines—

Will yon lie my valentine?This will tell you I am tbino.

Tho more frlngy tho luce, the redder thered, more 'golden the gold, and morellowery the poetry—why, quicker thosalo.A father of eight children, (to send to hiswife, of course,) a youth with hair thatfell from a center part, and a courthousebachelor have bought the loudest withtlm most lovo-iuspinng verse that could hofound at Mrs. Avery’s, and the store-keeper tells ns the demandfor the son ti-nient-i ascribed card was never as great.

Tho festival of St. Valentino was cele-brated and established as early ns thefifteenth century In England, Scotland,and France and was very popular amongtho upper classes and many Europeancourts. On St. Valentino's eve spinstersand bachelors were accustomed to meetin a social way, write upon bits of paperthe names of a [number of spinsters andbachelors of their acquairtanco, throwthem into a basket, and then draw themout, care being exorcised to draw one ofthe opposite sox, tho .person thus drawnbeing tho drawer’s valentine.

Miss Angelina Corabel leaves tomorrowfor the Carnival season with friends nrthe Crescent City.

The question as to granting tho L. &N. K. B. that franchise it seeks for tho re-arrangement of Its tracks in New Orleansdid not come up before the oounolluieu ofthat city last night us anticipated. Twoweeks are expected to elapsed before thomutter will bo called.

For a charitable purpose preparationsare being made for a grand masqueradehall for tho approaching Carnival by thecolored population in their handsome newhall- Uio Promote—on iSccond street.As well as a ball during tho day wc un-derstand there will also be a parade, andHie milTml lolks are going their utmost tomake a decided success of it.
