BYRNES'
IMPROVED CONCRETE PAVEMENT,
PAGE & CO.,
50 Camp street. New Orleans.

The following few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through one of the hottest of
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
the heat of the
O. Being in general use at the North, it necessa-
rily must 6e proof against cold.
g. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen-
sive.
T. 1t is perfectly mpervious to water, and conse-
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
s. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet wea
Their
g. It does not creak or crumble nor is it washed
by the rain.
Z 1t is impenetrable to grass weeds or water.
g. 1t prevents noxious vapors or gases arising
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompostions.
g. 1t is laid down quickly and ready for use
when finished.
10. 1t is easily taken up, easily relaid, and easily
repaired when necessary.
Some of the places where this work has been
done, and few OF the parties who have had it put
down, may be known by the following references,
and most OF the persons named can and will cheer
fully give all of the information desired. An
animation of the work is solicited:

THE SOUTHWESTERN BlBLB SV'
CIETY. .esfsr

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Your correspondent Banks" objects tt
the claim of the Southwestern Bible Society
to be exempt from taxation, on the ground
that the property is very remuneratlvt
from leases; :" and he seems to intimate g
want of charity in charging rent for theil
rooms-and on this ground, also, he objects
to their appeal to the Council.
Let it be answered:
l. That the property is not Every remu
nerative'
q The rental all goes to carry on theil
benevolent work, which is also strictly re
igious work.
The building known as the Bible House
was erected by means of the contributions
of many hundreds of citizens, and is trust
strictly devoted to the furtherance OF the
work of the society. Besides, the city has
by repeated ordinances, exempted this
property from taxation, and the Legislature
has relieved the society from tho State
assessment of 1869. and has absolutely eX
empted it from all taxation for current and
future time.
The present application to the City
Council is therefore made upon the merits
OF the case, often canyassed and decided
and upon intendment of law, and fiscal
orders made by the late Council, but which
failed of accomplishment by perhaps some
cleritai oversight. The Southwestern Bible
Society has established no precedent OF
charitable organizations claiming assist
ance on profitable speculatiOns." Your
correspondent must be but little acquainted
with the character of the society's work for
twenty years past, to insinuate such a
charge. PLAIN TRUTH.
Whatever may be the lot of the Emperor
Napoleon or King William in the mighty
struggle that is just about to ensue for the
mastery of either France or Prussia, that lot
has to be decided by the sword; and the
chances are that thousands of men will be
slain. and thousands or dollars-yea, millions
and billions-will be spent before King Will
lam, Or, perhaps Napoleon, or both, can be
made to relent having gone to war.
But this will not change their lot; nor
will it change the Louisiana State
Lottery, wherein the lot of many who
deal in its ticks are concerned. 1t was
the lot of several who bought tickets in
the last single number drawing to draw
handsome prizes, and they are now
basking in the sunshine of wealth. The
time is fast approaching. when the lot of
others will be determined who buy tickets
in the Louisiana State Lottery. The next
drawing takes place on the sixth of August,
and in order to have chance to draw a
prize and make your lot a joyous one, go at
once and secure tickets in the Louisiana
State Lottery, an institution that can not
be affected by the war that is about to be
waged by William and Napoleon to deter
mine their lot.
