| EGYPTIAN WATERPROOF COAT1NG.-We cal
the attention OF the public, especially tie
owners Of real estate, to the charter of the
Egyptian Waterproof Coating Company,
which will be found in another column OF
today's REPUBLICAN,. The Office Of the Com.
| pany is at No. 80 Chartres 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 unafect-
ed by dampness. Experiments made on
l'cisterns, flooring of warehouses, fences,
stills 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 fall 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 it's
object is to create here a general under
taking business, similar to those estab-
lished 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
numerous cemeteries, most all situated in the
middle of our city.
. TIE GROVER AND BAKER SEWING MACHINE.
In all work where durability, evenness of
stitch and beauty are requisite, the Grover
and Baker sewing machine is the favorite.
The machinery is easily understood. rarely
gets out of order, and can be learned Oy any
intelligent person in few hours. We know
of families who have had them in constant
use for fifteen years, and they are still as
good as ever. The samples of work done
upon them by ladies of this city, shown
lately at the fair, astonished all who exam
ined them; but they were nothing more than
could be done by any lady after short use
of the machine. The fact is, it is simplicity
itself. and, once tried, never loses the conf.
dence of the owner. The material of which
they are made, and the workmanship upon
them, are Of the very best description, con-
sequently-like the old English lever watch
they never get out of repair. Go and get
one at the agency, corner of Dryades and
Canal streets.
