ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over Rope as material for binding cotton bales
VIII be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there is
an overwhelming reason for its adoption.
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main cause of its not being generally adopt
ed; but, now that objection is removed gener-
ally, and the Orleans Press, the largest in N. O.
give 1T the preference over rope. The Fassmann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
OF the proprietors, and is adopted from the fact
that it is found. after long experiment, to COM
blne the greatest merits in simplicity and facility
OF application of any one yet made. It is SO
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obviating the only remaining
difficulty at the sea board cities. a.# -
The hoops are sent of any length from eight
to ten feet, and full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break. And
further, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
less. " a.*s '%

the Archbishop against the conduct of Ger

this statement that they have refused to
grant absulution to some Roman Catholic
servant girls living in Jewish families, and
thar they only consented to do so on condi-
