j. A. DnAsELMAN & Co." The world moves
This phrase, though falsely attributed to CALI
leo is still true as physical fact and those who
stubbornly refuse to yield to an inevitable ne
cessity will receive a shock that will place them
bors du combat in the battle of life. Braselman
II Co. understand this philosophy. and instead
of supinely folding their arms and lamenting
the elullness of the times, they conform wisely
TO the laws of trade, by placing themselves on
u level with things as the yare, and on that line
tight and conquer. The times are hard, surely,
Int the reduction made by the above firm III
their prices, absolutely compel purchasers
simply because it is the truest economy. The
thronr of1adics around Nos. $50 and 5so Maya
zine street are vouchers to this truth. See
advertisement elsewhere.

business considerations, we always take pleas
ure in promoting the views of the enterprising
and energetic. Among these we are happy to
include the gentleman named Mt the head of

pacity, and energy may we'll serve as model
to Thousands. Although young, he has attained

latent OF mysterious in this it is altogether
due to prudence, tact, and intelligence. OF
thorough business habits, he takes an enlarged
view Of the situstion, and graduates his prices
to suit his customers and the times. This is
the secret, and a glance ct his goods and prices
advertised in another column will verify all we
have said, and account ut once for tho crowds

Nvuv OF THE WEEK.

REv1W OF The WICK
THE C1rY.-The past week has furnished
few features requiring comment. The lull
in politics, consequent upon the conarma-
ton of Gen. Buehanan's policy regarding
the incoming State officials, by the Wash
ington authorities, has given respite,
which will give place to more exciting
times when the State machinery goes into
operation.
The refreshing showers have made the
temperature more bearable, though, in the
intervals between them, the sultriness Of
the weather tried our capacity of endurance.
Although cisterns have been partially re-
plenished, the insuficiency Of water remains
crying evil, without, unfortunately, as
far as we can see, any immediate prospect
of improvement. We trust the newly in
Quoted city officials will adopt efficient
measures to afford our citizens an abundant
supply Of water.
The CoUNcIL.-Board Of Aldermen
This Board organized on Monday night
last, by electing Mr.. Aarkey, president, and
VIM. B. Lancaster, secretary, after which
the Board adjourned till Tuesday evening.
The Board met again on Tuesday night,
and appointed q committee to inform the
Mayor that the Board was organized for
business. The first business transacted was
the election Of Mr.. Davis, a. sergeant-at-
arms. Mr.. Llambias sent in q communica-
ton contesting the election of Messrs. Pes
sou and Poynot.
Board Of Assistant Aldermen body
met on Tuesday, but the only business
transacted was the appointment of q COM
mittee to report on the credentials of men,
bers.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PARIS MEDALS
There was large audience on Monday
night to witness the distribution of medals
awarded tho Louisiana exhibitors at the
Paris Exposition. Among those present
were Gen. Buchanan and staff, Gov. Baker,
and other notabilities. Prof. Alexander
Dimitry, the orator of the occasion, made
an excellent address. Mr.. Gotthiel pre-
sented, in the name of His Imperial Majesty,
Napoleon III, through the Mayor, to the
city of New Orleans, for her public library,
a magnificently bound copy of his " Life of
julius Cesar" with the assurances of his
sympathy and good wishes. Mr.. Conway,
the Mayor, in accepting this present, ie-
sponded in few well-timsd remarks. At
intervals, during the ceremonies, a band
played some excellent pieces.
IMPORTANT DECISION, Durell, of
the United States District Court, gave q
decision ON Friday, in favor of awarding
two hundred and fifty dollars to a negro by
the name Of Ruby, who sued Mr.. Morgan,
owner of the Texas line of steamers, for re-
fusing him entrance to the cabin on a trip
from Galveston to this port, by which re-
fusal he was compelled to take passage in
the steerage. This is important, as it de-
cides the matter that common carriers are
not permitted to discriminate between
whites and blacks.

The Giant Drum"

The Giant Drum"
We paid hasty visit to the es-
tablishment Of Mr.. John Adams, last
Tuesday, and made an examination
of the merits Of this new invention
of the fertile brain Of our fellow
townsmsn, and like the Queen of
Sheba, after her visit to King Solo
mon, we felt that the half had not
been told us. BY q simple arrange
ment, two hollow cones, connected
by five tubes, are made the recepta.
cles of all the heat resulting from
the stove. The heat is retained and
conveyed back and forth by means
of the tubes. Not alone In its prop
critics as a heater consists its great
est advantage, as it renders danger
from fire almost impossible, while it
is not only free from objections on
account OF dust and smoke, Dut IL is
an ornament to q room. We exam.
ined it in operation at the "School
House." where, attached to q small
stove, it thoroughly heated the room
overhead. Mr.. Adams has applied
for a patent. which he will uldonbt-
ediy receive. ANY person will be
amply rewarded for their trouble in
an examination of this wonderful in,
vention. Call with Mr.. Adams,
Colt block, who will take pleasure in
showing it to all who may wish Ia
examine II.

Improved Surgical Splint.


We had the pleasure a few dayi
since of examining this ingenious
piece OF mechanism, the invention o
DR.. FL. D. Ballard, of this place. /
consists of a splint made in two parts
which are so joined together as to b
adjustable in a longitudal direction
and provided with springs 20 extend
the parts. The ends of the -splint'
are provided with buckles to which
adhesive straps arc attached to th'
other ends, OF which are attached t.
tho limb above and below the tract
are. These splints are made OF wood
of concave form upon one side, ont
splint provided with lemons, th'
other with slots, tho lemons sliding
freely back and forth within the slots
The slots are provided with coiled
springs which bear against the ten
ons and constantly extend the parts
The extension joint, formed by the
slots and lemons, is encased in q me
tallic case, and the extension is care
fully graduated by means Of pins in
serted in the slots through the sides
Of the case.
This simple and ingenious piece Of
mechanism is easily adjusted, is
much cheaper, and is easier upon the
patient than any Of the appliances
for the purpose now in use. DR.. Bal
lard and Capt BonhAm have received
their letters patent, bearing date
Sep. 90, 1868, and are making prepa-
rations for the manufacture and
sale of these improved splInts.
They have been successfully used by
our physicians and pronounced one
Of the most successful inventions in
surgery. We wish the patentees the
success they deserve.
