Most of the people eat meat, and drink tea and coffee. Some use tobacco, but this is discouraged. They had formerly a good many colored members; and have still some, as well as several mulattoes and quadroons. One colored sister is ninety years of age. The members here have been long-lived; the register proves this: it shows deaths at ninety-seven, ninety-four, ninety-three, ninety, and so on.
There is a misconception on this head in England, and elsewhere. The African races of America are either negroes, mulattoes, quadroons, quinteroons, or mestizoes; but the "Creoles" are of European blood, though born in America. Remember this. Don Pablo Romero for that was the name of our traveller was a Creole, a native of Cuzco, which, as you know, was the ancient capital of the Incas of Peru.
No! Zoe would write to me if she were living. Yet I went everywhere in New Orleans searching for Zoe. Often I visited the St. Louis hotel, for there young quadroons and octoroons on sale, tastefully dressed, were inspected by men with all the critical and amorous interest with which a roué would look upon the object of his desire.
Hemerlingue had married her when she passed from this new seraglio, but she could not be received at Tunis, where no woman Moor, Turk or European would consent to treat a former slave as an equal, on account of a prejudice like that which separates the creoles from the best disguised quadroons.
Their unmodulated voices grated on his ear, in contrast with the liquid softness of Rosabella's tones, and the merry, musical tinkling of Floracita's prattle. All they could tell him was, that they heard the quadroons who used to be kept there by the gentleman that owned the house had gone to the North somewhere.
Every night during the winter season there is a bal paré et masqué, and occasionally "quadroon balls," which are attended by the young men of the city and their chères amies quadroons, who are decidedly the finest women in the country, being well formed, and graceful in their carriage.
