Detroit Post} The people of New Orleans— thats, that portion called creole and who are the true Louisianians—display marked characteristics in appearance ns well as in ‘customs and manners. The word “oreale” is defined by Webster to mean “one born in Amerioa or the West Indies of European ancgstors.” Without dis: cussing this definition, which is in every way incorrect, § apprehend that the | word ‘creole’ has a ‘more © re stricted and special application. It has been erroneously thought by some that to constitute a creole one should have a tinge of negro blood in one's veins. while others have cousid- ered the descendants of Spanish, Ger- man. and other foreigners as creoles Neither of these suppositions is correct The creole the from the original French by intermarrying, 'Ims type ol ANCestors, modified by time retaing in a groat descendant {, Who prope 15 settler preserved the which, though and associations, still measure ther traits and manners.
