CEMETERIES.
To the stranger visiting New Orleans for the first time, one of tbe most interesting places to see are the Cemeteries, from the novelty of their construction. The tombs and vaults nearly all being wholly above ground in the shape of ovens. This is caused by not being able to dig graves, owing to the lact that they become filled with water, caused by the ground, on which the city is built, being lower than the water in the Mississippi River.

PARKS, SQUARES, ETC.
Upper City Park contains 247 acres; is located at the upper part of the city, between the part of the city known as Jefferson and Carrollton; it is bounded by St. Charles avenue, the river, Exposition Boulevard, and Walnut street. It is splendidly located, and is the site of the Exposition Buildings. Six lines of street railroads are now complete to the park; besides, it is reached by most of the railroads entering the city, and by the river. It will be the most important place of resort during the World’s Exposition.
Lower City Park, fronting on Metairie Road, between the old and new Canal, contains about one-half a square mile, and is famous for the live oaks that grow within its limit. This is the favorite resort for picnics. It was bequeathed to the city by the late John McDonough, about twenty-five years ago. (Reached by Canal and Metrie Ridge, Esplanade and Bayou St. .John, and Canal and Lake steam cars.)
