The New Orleans crescent., 1868-01-14

L
| next thing we saw was Hazards mammoth feed
| cutter, the invention of Mr.. Thomas Hazard, OF
Cincinnati. II cuts feed OF any size, from half
inch to two inches, and does il with striking ease
| and celerity. II is also self-adjustng, aud cuts
| corn ears with the stalks.
Mr.. B. T. Babbitt, of New York. has on exhibi-
ton an immense quantity Of his famous soap aud
| the ingredients necessary to make the same. He
! also has saleratus, yeast powders, concentrated
potash, ETC., etc. Rabbits soap is celebrated all
| over the country as the cheapest and most useful
article that has been yet offered to the public 10
| that line. he addresses himself chiefly to whole
| sale dealers and msnufacturers and is staying at
| the ST. James, where he will remain a mon, h
longer. His manufacture does not enter into con-
| petition with Louisiana manufacturers Pyle-
IL soap, equally famous and equally useful
| with Babbitts, is represented by A. ID. Grief,
| Esq, 4S and so Old Levee street. Pyle's
is great favorite withfamilies, hotels and steam
| b ats. and II is well to remember that il can be
ordered at 4s and so Old Levee street. He also
has patent blue and other articles for identifying
| linen, ETC. Mr.. J. H Keller, Southern Soap Fac
tory, corner Howard and st. Andrew streets, has
| very large and handsome assortment of soaps
| ETC., on exhibition. One os his saponaceous m.
| tributions represents the Bunker Hill monument
| his Office and depot are at ll0 Gravier street.
Not the least Of the soap exhibitors is the firm of
| McRoberts Dick, corner Of Liberty and Jackson
| streets. An immense block of soap weighing
| 2OOO pounds is surmOunted by three elegant
statues Of the same material.
Mr. Auguste Doussan, manufacturer and i'm.
porter OF choice perfumery, fancy soaps and
other goods for the toilet is the ex in succession.
His exhibition is marked with the best taste, and
| is redOleDt Of the sweetest odors. Mr.. Doussan
| has already made en- excellent reputation, and
we recommend our readers 70 visit his stand. His
establishment is at l03 Chartres street, near ST.
! Louis street.
| Mr.. w. A. Fleetwood next presented his claims
| upon our attention. BE is agent for Jackson's
| Universal Washing Compound for personal ablu-
! tion, washing of clothes, etc. He also has ex
| cellcnt patent liquid blue for the laundress, aud
his soap, particularly his soft soap, is hard to
| beat His soaps are warranted TO do harm neither
| TO the most delicate hand nor to the finest cam
brio. We saw some very creditable stud for
handkeTchefs and shirts made out of the ramie
plant. They are more silky than cotton-like in
| appearance.
In the octagonal we come to a dead halt before
| the gorgeous exhibition of Z. A. Tyler, Esq. 10
the case containing articles of his own manufac-
ture specimens equal in elegance and finish to
| any jewery or silversmithing we have ever seen.
Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, pearls, onyx, cOrals
| and all other precious jewels are set in style
which certainly defies all competition in this pact
| OF the world. Some of them are set springs
and when vibrating they dazzle the eye to follow
the sparkling coruscations which emaaate from
their centers The rings, canoes and other works
OF the goldsmiths cunning, exceed our powers of
description. One little breastpin. about an inch
square, and the eighth of one in thickness contains
when uIfOlded. eighteen portraits of distinguished
Individuals. The mechanism in this minute master.
Pic is inconceivable to an unprofassional Mr..
S,onewall Jackson. The pictures Of the great
leaders ere striking IkeIlesses and appear 10 bold
relief on each Of the elaborately chased pieces in
TIE set. 1yler's steam engine, of pure silver, is
another unequaled specimen. ItthrOws a stream
thHty-fve feet, and in all its minutie is perfect
fac smile, in all except size Of fire engine. Its
cost price was SlSC0, and it is intended for the
gallant hrebeys Of the Crescent City. The statues
the cases, not 10 speak of the priceless gems in.
side of them, in Mr. Tyler's portion of the exhibit
ton, are beautiful almost beyond compare
The clock which regulates the octagonal is the
property Of E. A. Tyler. also.
The three houses Of GrisWOd & Co., Tyler, and
Zimmerman, represent a value of probably
$4,000. We hardly think such splendid display
can be made anywhere in America outside OF
New York.
During the course of the day we noticed con.
siderable cOmmoIon around The sewing machines
in the octagonal. Col. Moody YVES one of the
commissioners, and we learned from him that they
were passing upon the relative merits OF the con.
testants The awards will be made TO day. |
Speaking Of Col. Moody, his show cases attract !
as much attention as ever. Many furtive glance |
is cast by lovely gi-ls who lock with curiosity at
the mysterious articles of gentlemen's toilets and
wonder how long it may be before some arrange.
ments Of the kind may be placed under their su-
porvision for life.
