The attention Of sugar planters and Others
interested in the manufacture of sugar
would be well repaid and agreeably occupied
by visit to the extensive copper and brass
establishment of Messrs. Daniel & Jane:
ID. Edwards, on Delta and Front streets
between Gravier and POydras streets, and
examine the large copper steam train Just
completed by them for Messrs Mccall
Brothers plantation, Ascension parish. Lou.
isiana, and now set up and connected to
gether awaiting orders tor shipment.
This is the largest and most effective train
of the many this house has furnished the
many planters of our State. 1t consists of
| five copper CHARTERS, ten feet by six and
three deep, with skim troughs and hanges,
with all their mountings in highly finished
| brass columns and plates, with four inches
| opening finished brass cocks to charge and
discharge same, with copper pipes all fitted
| and set up in their places. Also, four cop
per evapOrating pans eight feet in diameter
and thirty inches deep with troughs and
flanges, and all their mountings, finished
columns to support ianges and with finished
plates and finished charge cocks four inches
opening, as well as discharge cocks, same
size opening, with brass finished drain cocks
and pipes for troughs, and all copper pipe
fitted and placed.
Those interested in the mechanics of our
city, should not let this opportunity pass of
seeing what can be done by the mechanics
Of our city. The design and finish as well
as the workmanship, reflect the greatest
credit on Messrs. Edwards and their me-
chanics, and ought to be seen by all that
they may form some opinion as to its excel
lence as well as for the information of the
ability of our mechanics to make machinery
of this kind, particularly, and as cheap as
any house East, West, North. or South, with
whom Messrs. Edwards compete, though
probably they do not make as much profit
to themselves, owing to higher wages being
paid here than in other places.
Go one and all and see the train as well as
their business facilities as carried on in their
vast establishment. They promise to sell
everything in their line at as low rates and
on as accommodating terms as any others,
be they New York or elsewhere The whole |
work on this train was completed in seven
weeks from the giving of contract, and |
every sheet of copper for the different uses
rolled and made for same order.

New ORLEANS, May l, 1871.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
DEAF SIR-Am wrong in believing that
an ordinance exists compelling landlords
to supply all tenement houses with hy-
drants; and if I am in error can not our
Common Council do something toward aid
ing the occupants of the many small
houses on the line of the water pipes, to
obtain water for necessary domestic use.
The cisterns of such houses are necessarily
small, and the tenants are compelled to use
water very sparingly, even during the wet
season, ard in the dry season are often out
of water for weeks at a time.
Respectfully yours,
TENANT

HARMONY CLUB PIcNIC.-Oakland Course
grounds looked almost like fairy scene
Sunday, the occasion being picnic given
by the young gentlemen of Harmony Club,
composed of the elite of our Hebrew popu-
lation. 1t is unnecessary to say that the
undertaking was a success socially, this being
the great and only object aimed at. There
was the completest bouquet of feminine
loneliness that it is the lot of man to gaze
on often and the gentlemen are entitled to
a compliment almost equally unqualified.
Three prizes were given to ladies for their
extraordinary exertions in furthering the
picnic. The first was Miss Pier, the sec
ond Miss Schlenl1er, the third Miss Julia
Meyer. These young ladies and their
friends were assembled on the large plat
form, when President H. L. Stern pre-
sented the gifts. The first was rich lOclzet
of fine workmanship, the second was a
splendid silver portemonnaie, and the third
prize beautiful silver card case. Dancing,
promenading and other reoreations were
then INDUCED in by the visitors, the day
closing on a happy party

The Iberville Pioneer saws /:

The recent April showers have been of
great benefit to the crops before, the
ground was lumpy and hard. so much so
that it was useless to put in seed, but the
late rain and the weather since have been
everything that our planters could wish.
Cane in general is better than it has been
for years at this season of the year, and
corn is showing to good advantage.
If our planters do not get drowned out by
crevasses, they will stand good chance of
more than paying their expenses this
season.
