The Great Discovery of the Age.

We have been shown by Mr.. n. II
Thomas patent right issued to him by the
United States government, TOR preserving
wood. BY Mr.. Thomas process wood can
be protected from decay in the water, OF
on or in the earth also from destructiO
by salt water worms and insects of every
kind. The material used by him is very
abundant and cheap, is easily applied, and
becomes part and parcel of the wood, ex
Guiding both water and air, and thereby
rendering the timber proof against decay
No insect of any kind will attempt to cut
or eat wood after it is once prepared by
this process. We look upon this discovery
as being one of the very best known to
commercial science. In building bridges,
wharves, fences, or putting up telegraph
posts, it would be a great saving to prepare
them with his patent material.
We understand the New Orleans, Mobile
and Texas railroad has paid forty thousand
dollars lately for copper, which has been
placed on the bridge timbers in Bay st.
Louis. Mr.. Thomas says he could have
prepared the same tlmDers Tor less than
one fourth of that amount, and guaranteed
them to last three times as long as they
will at present; for with his process he
would not only protect them from salt
water worms (which is the great bugbear)
but also from decay above water. Mr.
Thomas proposes to get up joint stock
company for two, three or more States, and
begin at once to apply this useful and
economical discovery. He is the sole
owner of the patent right

Notes on the Progress of Ramie Planting,

Enough has been said on the value and
merits of the ramie plant. 1t is time to
speak of it by practical facts and tangible
results.
This positive test would have been ac-
complished long before now, had it not
been prevented by different causes of him
drance.
AS for the introduction of the sugar cane
seventy-five years ago, the following i'm
pediments had to be removed from the
rames road:
|. Want of an enormous quantity of
roots seed, to plant largely and by thick
stands at once.
9. Want of an efficient machinery to
extract the fibre in proper condition and
quantity.
3. Want of confidence. capital. and
spirit of enterprise to start the culture on
fair scale.
These requirements have at last been
realized, and the principal difficulties re-
moved, viz:
!. PrOpagating nurseries, well cultivated
these last few years around the city, have
produced sufficient amount Of roots fit to
be replanted III large fields.
2 A New Orleans patented cleaner has
been perfected, and works now satisfac-
tOrily in several ramie districts of Mexico,
California and East India. 1t is Lefranc's
patented machine.
3. An active and substantial company
has been quietly formed lately, and oper
ates now vigorously in planting large tracts
OF land on the GENTLY Ridge for miles off
the city.
The plantation is rapidly progressing,
and will exhibit profitable results this fall.
The company, called The Southern
Ramie Culture Association of New Or
leans" is composed as follows:
A. lesson, accountant and treasurer; +.

HOoley's Minstrels and Burlesque Opera.
The programme issued by this well known
and popular company is remarkably at
tractive. In fact it is entirely new and
presents succession of the leading artists
of the minstrel world. Those who desire to
be delighted as well as astonished must see
the great Eugene, the wonderful prima
donna, in his illustrations of all the lyric
songstresses : as Nilsson he has elected the
hearty approval of the great Swedish
warbler, who never omits seeing Eugene.
II TrOvatOre," burlesque opera, will be
given with an unexampled cast, including
Eugene, Unsworth, Griffin, Brandisi, Bias
quin, Rice, Mulligan, and a chorus and
mise en- scene unsurpassed in grand opera.
Mulligan, Rice and Campbell will keep the
audience in a roar; Unsworth, the great
Unsworth, will speak a piece he is un-
doubtedly remarkable orator. In short
it is safe to say that tor fun, music, wit
elegance and refinement, HOOleys is the
very ne pl,,s ultra of the minstrel profession,
and appeals at once to all the lovers of a
jolly and artistic performance. Seats are in
rapid demand and Spalding and Bidwell

The Pacific Wine Company will exhibit
for competition at the Texas State Fair,
during the coming week, over twenty varie-
ties of choice, pure California wines, and
we trust we shall soon have the pleasure of
recording the award of the highest pre-
miums to the company whose skill and en-
terprise is placing within reach of our peo-
pie the pure and delicious wines of the best
grape district of California. We are in
formed that the wines of the same vineyards
were exhibited at the last worlds fair in
Paris, and received the highest premiums
from the awarding committee, and also the
highest encomiums from the French savants
and connoisseurs The only objection made
was that the superior soil and climate of Ell
Dorado make the wines rather rich in
vinous spirit for unlimited indulgence. The
agent of the company says that this is
easily overcome by adding ice or water to
the wines when drank, thus reducing them
to the vinous strength of the best imported
wines; but the wines, when sold by the
company, will always be strictly pure
products of the vineyard.
