BUSINESS NOTICES.

WASHES New FURNISHING GooDs.-The
amount of taste displayed by MIR. 3. T.
Walshe, Ne. ITO Canal street, in the selec-
ton of his spring stock this season, has been
q matter Of considerable comment among
the habitues of Canal street during the past
week. Such beautiful cravats and ties,
splendid undergarments, gloves, handker-
chiefs, etc., rarely has been seen on this
side of the Atlantic. while his prices are so
reasonable that those splendid goods are
placed within the reach of every one. Be.
sides the above named goods, Mr.. Walshe
has also a general, assortment of seasonable
goods for children, which parents would do
well to go and inspect. Mr.. Walshe be-
lieves in quick sales and small profits. His
goods are always as stylish as any to be
found IN the country, and having been
manufactured expressly for his salss, are re.
liable in every respect. Go and look at
them.

LARGE FIRE IN THE THIRD DISTRICT
Damage About $50. O00.-At half.past nine
O'Clock last night, an alarm of fire was
given from the box on Greatmen and
Elysian Fields streets, and shortly after a
general alarm was given, showing that the
fire was by no means small affair.
1t originated in some rear buildings on
Love street. between Marigny and Elysian
Fields streets, and spread with such rapidity
and so much confusion resulted that it was
impossible to obtain particulars. The whole
square bounded by Goodchildren, Elysian
Fields, Marigny and Love streets, was COM
pletely destroyed. The total damage sus-
tanned Can be safely estimated at at least
$50 1000.
At one o'clock this morning Captain
Lewis, of the fifth precinct, telegraphed
that the fire originated in a stable belonging
to Mr.. Quiiter, and was cause1 by some un.
known person throwing al ignited match
into the hay. The fire spread rapidly, con-
Stunning about forty dwellings, burning
nearly the whole square, and extending to
the opposite side OF Love street. where it
was extinguished.
The following parties were burned out
DR.. Bell, Louis Power, Sergeant Foster of
the police, and about thirty othe-s.

4 NEW GROCERY House We are called
upon to Introduce to the public this morning
new firm who have EN- barked in the family
grocery business, although both members of
it are old citizens, who number their friends
and acquaintance by the thousand. We
speak of the house of Vandegrif & Clark, of
No 50 Camp street, corner of Natchez. Both
gentlemen composing this firm have large
experience in the grocery trade. Mr.. A. j.
Fandegrif was lately of the house of Griffin
d Porch, and has been dealing in groceries
Tor the last sixteen years. To say that he
has long been prominent member of the
Howard Association of this city is saying
enough to convince the most cynical that
he is man Of the highest integrity and
greatest self-sacrifcing philanthropy. Mr..
James c. Clark, his partner, has been en-
gagged in the grocery trade for twenty-five
years, and for the last five years was head
clerk and purchaser of W. H. Henning &
Company. He is splendid Judge of goods.
attentive to customers, and thoroughly re-
liable in all things. Persons patronizing
him can always rely upon getting the best
in the market at the lowest living rates.
As will be seen upon perusal of the ad-
vertisement of this firm, which appears in
another column, they are already ready to
fill all orders for goods, and will guarantee
everything they sell. Theft stock is COM
plete and perfectly fresh, while their prices
are as low as could be reasonably desired.
We advise our readers to give them trial, |

The TRIAL OF FIRE EXTINGUISEERS YES
misunderstanding afternoon, little after
two o'clock. large crowd assembled on
the levee at the head Of Canal street, near
the iron building, to witness the trial of the
two rival Fire Extinguishers, the Babcock,
represented by Mr.. Bradley, and the Excel
sior, the representative of which was q
stranger to US.
There were two pyers to be experimental
upon, both built of empty barrels, packed
around with shavings, saturated with oil
and tar. These pyres were three tiers high
and firmly checked together. Fire was first
applied to the one to be experimental upon
with the Babcock Extinguisher, and it was
allowed to become completely ignited, and
apparently one mass of roaring flames, be-
fore Mr.. Bradley opened upon it with the
Extinguisher. 1t was truly terribly hot
fire, land the black smoke rolled upward to
the clouds. the oak slaves popped and
cracked in the angry blaze. The gazing
crowd fell back, go fierce was the heat, and
no one of them but would have bet his last
dollar that the fire could never be subdued.
Then Mr.. Bradley stepped forward, and be.
gan playing upon it with small hose, about
rs large as ones little finger, attached
TO the Extinguisher. As if obeying the
command of some controlling demon
the flames were seen to retire almost imme- |
diately in the midst of white steam like |
smoke. They would now and then be seen |
10 blaze up again as Hstruggling against |
giving up the, field; but were speedily CON-
quered; and when the smoke blew away,

One OF the new and useful articles on
| exhibition at our recent State Fair, as will
be seen by advertisement in our columns,
is now to be inspected at the Mechanics and
Dealers Exchange, No. 10 Union street, or
50 Camp street. Reference is had TO the
artificial stone of the Union Stone Com
pany. Boston, Massachusetts. From its hav-
! ing taken the premium as the best at the
Fair, aud from what we have seen of it and
heard of it from experienced architects,
| builders and masons, the company
owning the patent would do a
good thing for themselves, as we'll as for
New Orleans and Louisiana, either to estab-
llsh mandatory of this stone in New Or
| leans or organize a company here for that
purpose. The new cement, which is the
basis OF this Union Stone Company's
patent, was invented by the celebrated
French chemist, N. Sorel, and from the fact
OF its having been chosen las best Of all the
hundreds of recently patented inventions
for artificial stone) by its Boston owners,
by shrewd men living in State which is
said to have been the last one made, and
had all the residue Of the stones Of creation
dumped into it to complete it, and where
perfect knowledge of stones exists, it NAV
well be supposed that it is an article worthy
the consideration OF our builders.
This compaDy's process reuni,es any kind
OF broken or powdered materials, and re-
forms stone of any desired kind from its
original element-does it on the spot where
it is wanted, whether it be in New Orleans
or upon a cotton or sugar plantation. 1t is,
in fact, the great want Of this city and of
our alluvial Countrywide long wished fer
substitute for stone or brick in building. It
is, in reality, better than many real stones, |
for carbonic acid hurts it not. as i. does |
them. AS was seen by the specimens at the |
fair, which took the premium the necessary |
material for making building stone by this
process is found here as it is every where;
and as it can be furnished at such a low rate
as to permit its use in Massachusetts and
other places, where stone is plenty, of course
1t Will prove more advantageous to the
company and to our people, if manufactured
here, where there is not stone for our win
dow stills, door caps and stills, imposing
stones, nantes, and the thousands of other
for which it is manufactured.
We call the attention of our builders and
architects to this interest, because we be-
ieve that it will be interesting to them, and
1dd materially to the building resources of
Dur city.

! EGYPTIAN WATERPROOF COATING We cal
the attention OF the public, especially the
owners OF real estate, to the charter Of the
Egyptian Waterproof Coating Company
which will be found in another column OF
to'day's REPUBLICAN. The Office OF the Com.
pany is at No. 80 Charities street.
The Egyptian waterproof coating, which
was patented by the United States Patent
Office on the fourth of MAY, 1869, is new
invention, being composed of materials
which together possess remarkable antisep-
tic qualities, insoluble in water and unatfect-
ed by dampness. Experiments made on
clsterns, flooring of warehouses, fences,
sills and joists, telegraph posts, crossties,
bridges, ETC., plainly show that dry lumber,
which is intended to be used in the water or
in contact with dampness, will not rot
when coated with the Egyptian. Apple
able for the use of the marine, vessels,
piles, ETC., and particularly in the Gulf
of Mexico, where barnacles destroy any
kind of wood, satisfactory experiments
show that this danger is no more to
be feared. Used on collins as sanitary
measure, like in Europe. the Egyptian coat
ing has given here full satisfaction in the
experiments made by the most learned and
competent physicians. Even in this warm
and damp climate the causes OF infection
from death have no more reason to be ap.
pretended. In using the Egyptian coating
for wood pavements, no material in the
world can enter into serious competition
with it.
The company above mentioned, com.
posed Of stockholders of the most honora-
BILE character, and among the most enter
prising gentlemen of this city, have the
project to organize special corporations for
the manufacture of the several articles
connected with the discovery of this new
produce. One of them is already nearly
organized and ready to enter into opera
ton. We are authorized to say that its
object is to create here general under
taking business, similar to those estab-
ished in most of the large cities of
Europe. This is indeed very much needed
here, and the public health and comfort
will be unquestionably promoted thereby;
and what is the most important for all will
be the absence of infection, either before or
after death and in the neighborhood of our
cemeteries, most all situated in the
middle of our city.

4 SOLUTION ARRIVED Atm the days OF
Our grandfathers and grandmothers, one OF
The family difficulties was to decide when a
daughter ceased to be girl, or when she
developed into a young lady, ready to don
long dresses. 4 conclusion was easily ar.
rived at by the party most directly interest
ed, but the mother was troubled, as she
never could discover that her child was
anything more than a child. These later
days Of steam and sudden changes in fashion
have worked a solution, and anxious
mothers are no longer vexed, as the style of
short dresses keep even the old ones in a
state of schoolgirlishness quite charming.
A promenade on Canal or Camp streets, if
one criticises the softer sex, will confound
fellow 80 completely that he will not ven
ture to guess where babyhood ceases or
where maidenhood ends. Ia fact, father
can scarcely tell his youngest daughter
from his grandmother, so strangely alike do
sll ages dress. Yet the fashion is rather
pleasing.
