E PARISH OF ASSUMPTION AND OF THE TOWN OF NAPOLE(
NAPOLEONVILE La, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1879.
TO LOUIsIANIANs.

| The publishers of the NEW ORLEANS
TIMES wish especially at this time that
every citizen of this State should be sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest Importance to Louisiana
are pending waiting solution. A conven-
| ti0n of her delegates is now in session
drafting an organic law for adoption to
| replace the present constitution, and
which it is hoped will radically reform
those fearful abuses, wasteful extravagan-
cies and gross injustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under
it. The snbject of restrictive quarantine as
to its efficacy in preventing the introduce
tion of the scourge of yellow fever and its
! acknowledged blighted effects upon the
business and prosperity Of the city of New
Orleans and the State is now engrossing to
d large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighborlng
State of Texas, removal of the State capi-
tai. etc.. demand constant consideration
and discussion.
The publishers of the TIMES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the ZINES
on all of these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good of the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, devel-
opment and growth depend their cOmpen-
can they expect 10 subserve these ends.
The thorough Independence of the TIMES.
its strength, courage and consistency in
the discussion of all questions, its lndefatl
gable and persistent labors to restore the
wonted prosperity of the South, have made
it recognized throughout the country as
the leading Southern journal and made it
quoted everywhere as the representative
of the best Southern thought and opinion.
The publishers wish that copy may be
placed in the hands of every citizen in this
State, that he may judge by perusal OF its
merits, of its consistency, of its motive. !.
As newspaper giving ALL the NEWS OF
the day as commercial paper, showing
merce as an organ of the people. represen
ting and conserving their best and highest
interests, they claim the TIMES to be with
out a rival in the South.
To meet the general shrinkage in values.
the subscription price Of the TIMES has
been materially reduced. The TIMES (daily,
seven papers week. will be sent hereafter
at the rate of $12 per annum, and the Week
~ TIMES at the rate of 81 per annum,. pos
tage prepaid.
Copies of the TIMES, either Daily or
Weekly, gladly sent free as specimens to
any person who desires to examine the
same.
We ask every reader to give the TINES q
trial. We are making it q paper worthy of
support. And we know if the reader once
tries it he will continue subscriber.
The Daily will be sent on trial one month
for 81, and the Weekly three months for
so cents.
Send remittances by money order or re-
gistered letter or draft.

THE CENTENNIAL MEDAL q
The Truth at Last /!
HOWE MACHINE E
Again Triumphant!

At the 45th Exhibition of the American
Institute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma-
elaine was recommended by the judges,
and approved by the unanimous vote of
the hoard of Managers, for the GREAT
GoLD sfCEETENNIAL MEDAL" under the
following rules:
.sThis Medal tof gold) is to be awarded
only for machine, product, or process,
exhibited this centennial year, at the 45th
Exhibition of the American Institute of
the city of New York. It can be awarded
only for machine, product, or process, of
great value, decided Importance, and of
mere than usual merit; aud then only By
. Raiority of the whole Board of Trustees,
upsn the written report of three judges,
whose report shall certify to the above
requirements, and after said report shall
have been approved by a majority of the
whole Board of Managers"
It viii be thus seen that the "Howe"
atili leads all competitors-and we chal-
tsnge all Sewing Machine Companies in
the land to produce an award of like ex-
cellence received in this CENTENNIAL
YEAR.
FF THE HOWE MACHINE CO..

the apparatus may be adjusted te any
chains, or to any required velocity.
A jointed folding frame, I, is hinged to
the top of the frame, A, and supports two
rollers at its outer end.
In case of emergency the washstand is
rolled to some convenient place, say a win
dow or a balcony, and if time permits the
folding frame, /, is made to project over
the window sill or balcony. The end of Ell
ther of the ropes wound on the drum is un-
hooked, and the imperiled person passes
the rope first over one of the loose pulleys
in the jointed frame, then passes it around
his body, hooks it, and let's himself down
easily and safely. BY this time, if there are
other inmates exposed, second one un-
hooks the end of the other rope, and also
lowers himself to the ground, and in so
doing causes the drum to wind up the first
of third occupant, an so on. Every person
descending winds one of the ropes on the
drum, and thus prepares the machine for
another. Should it be required, line with
weight at one end may be provided in
the apparatus, which may be attached by
one end to hook on the pendulum rod.
while the end carrying the weight is let
down upon the pavement. By means of this
line so connected with the pendulum rod,
persons descending will be enabled to check
their descent at will. But while this may
be very convenient when time enough is
allowed, and calm and order prevail, vet
the apparatus is so constructed that in
pressing emergencies no time is required
but what is strictly necessary to roll the
stand in some suitable place, take hold of
Pioneer of Assumption. (Napoleonville [La.]) 185?-1895, 1879-09-06

fthe end Of one rope, and let ones self
down, that is, few seconds at most.
In addition to the above meniion-
ed advantages, the apparatus herein
described will be found of great
service to facilitate the ascension of
outsiders into buildings in conf1a-
grafton, for the purpose of affording
assistance, putting out fires, saving
valuables, etc. 1t will also be found
la safe and convenient auxiliary to
masOns engaged in erecting isolated
chimneys, to ascend and descend.
From the above it will appear OBJ
vious that the apparatus just de-
scribed possesses particular merits,
which can hardly fail to command
the attention of hotel keepers, own
eIs or managers of large factories,
theatres, &C., and of all true phi
lanthropists generally.
Among its chief merits may be
mentioned :-compactness, simpli-
city, cheapness, comeliness, ALL
readiness, strength, reliability com
fort, and above all the PERFECTl
SAFETY with which the most
nervous or unskilled persons may
avail themselves of it in pressing
emergencies. With such an appara-
tus at hand, everybody will feel
personally secure against danger
from fire.

TO CAPITALISTS AND MANUFACTURERS.

Your attention is respectfully
called to the subject of the above
circular. You will readily realize
the Importance of the combina-
tons embodied in my invention,
which makes it unquestionably
the most practical, efficient and
reliable Fire Escape heretofore
introduced to the public.

You will as readily realize, it
is expected, the very important
inducements hereby offered for
investments or speculation.
I am prepared to receive prop
ositions for the sale of my patent,
or of State rights. or to have the
Fire Escape manufactured on

Pioneer of Assumption. (Napoleonville [La.]) 185?-1895, 1879-09-06

Your device pleases us in that it is
simple. It seems to us TO present a splen
did investment to the right parties, for we
see no reason why this Escape should not
take its place as candidate for favor and
receive a share of the support conceded to
others. There is room for it, and it will
most assuredly hold its own: Tie price

HIS FIVE M0rHERs-IN-LAW.
A REAL TRUE STORY.

Most husbands and wives, if we may
credit all they say, find it difficult to live
in the same house with a mother-in-law,
but Ole Sol B las he was commonly
called) of Boston, dwelt in peace and COM
fort for several years with five ladies bear
ing that relation to him.
/ When I first knew the old gentleman he
appeared to be about fifty, but was in real
ity about sixty-eight, and had a charming
wife who was then twenty-six and two
lovely children, a boy and q girl. one seven
the other five. His children by his first
wife were all married, and some of his
grandchildren were also married and
themselves, had children older than MI.
BIS two youngest.
. On the first day of my visit at his pleas
ant home not many miles from Boston. as
1 took my place at the dinner table with
Mrs. B., was surprised to see five old
ladies come into the room together and to
be introduced to each of them in success
sion as follows: My own mother, Mrs
B, senior: my next mother, Mrs. Hen
ry; my third mother, Mrs. James; my
fourth mother, Mrs. Williams; my fifth
mother, Mrs. john"
Mrs. B. senior,' who seemed the
youngest of the old ladies. laughed aloud
at my look of consternation-a melodious
laugh for one of years-and every one
smiled but Mr.. B., who invoked the
blessing with his usual air and led the
table-talk on Indifferent topics. That
evening in the parlor young Mrs. b
gave us some music, and the old ladies re-
tired early one after another. the "own
