A MOST VALUABLE INVENTION,

In company with many Of our most promi-
mont and practical citizens. we yesterday paid
visit to the Mississippi Press to witness the
opera of the Triumph steam cotton band

pressed with the simplicity and efficacy of tie
invention.
1t consists of buckle which attached to the
iron tie which binds the bale OF cotton, when
compressed. precudes any possibility of slip
ping. and consequently securely holds the bale.
| after being released from the press. to exactly
the reduced size given to It BY the press,
This invention Is singularly plain and simple
The design is to draw all the bands at once
around the bale of cotton, 80 as not only to save
time and labor. but wha. is most material OBJ
1t is 50 easily manipulated that all which Is
required to be done by the workmen in charge

The buckle itself is perfect. The moment the
bands are drawn WI ta ut by the steam team and
pressed. from its wonderful construction the

and well known citizen Of New Orleans, The
very highest testimonials to his genius and skill
are amply paid by the gentlemen who have
successfully completed this work.
This invention is destined, We think. to be-

WHAT WAS HER INTENTION .
A Woman Leaps OFF of the Canal street
FerrybOat.


At about 2:3o o'clock yesterday lady named
Mrs Jane Howe boarded the Canal street ferry
boat at the landing and took seat aft. When
the boat reached the middle OF the stream she
climbed upon the railing and leaped overheard.
The boat was Immediately stopped, the alarm
bbing given of woman overheard but she was
carried so rapidly down stream by the current
that the officers on board were unable to render
any assistance.
fisherman, named John Market, was at
tracted by the sight OF the woman in the river
and Immediately started to her rescue. At the
same time the tug Ella Wood. commanded by
Capt. Wrigley. started for the scene, and be-
tween the three the unfortunate woman was
brought to the shore alive.
Capt. Picket, Of the ferryboat. procured a cab
and sent the almost drowned woman to her res
idence, No. 1877 st; Joseph street.
inquiry regarding Mrs. Howe and learned
from neiohbor of hers that she had been
nursing at Quarantine Station. and had not
been paid for her services, and hence was IN
able to liauidate some little bills that she had
contracted.
A lady living in the same house with Mrs.
Howe stated that Mrs Howe's daughters had
said to her that their mother had been threaten
ing for week past TO commit suicide, but that
they. could assign no cause. as she had good
children, and everything was given her to make
her comfortable in her old age.
The daughter. when questioned, denied that
her mother bad ever threatened to commit sui
cde and that she had been nursing at guaran-
tine station. and further alleged that she be-
lieved that the way her mother got into the
river was an accident.
When the reporter visited the house Mrs
Howe WAS in an insensible condition but it Is
thought she will recover from the shock, al
though her age, a half century Is against her
