There is no monopoly in this city SO
burdensome to its people, as that Of the
trade in ice, except probably the gas
monopoly. The number and value OF
the patents issued by the United States
Patent Office to Southern inventors, for
some time past, has been remarked
upon, both by the Southern and the
Northern press, SIS greatly TO the credit
Of Southern genius. 1t Is not only by
new discoveries that the South has been
distinguished, but also by the successful
application of science to practical pur-
poses. The manufacture of Ice is among
the most remarkable examples Of this
applied knowledge.
