THE CENTENNIAL MEDAL !
The Truth at Last !!
THE !.
HOWE MACHINE
Again Triumphant!

At the 18th Exhibition of the American
Institute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma
chine was recommended by the judges,
and approved by the unanimous vote OF
the Board of Managers, for the GREAT
GOLD sCENTENNIAL MEDAL under the
following rules
This Medal fof 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
more than usual merit and then only by
majority Of the whole Board of Trustees,
upon the written report OF three judges,
whose report shall certify to the above
requirements, and after said report shall
have been approved by majority of the

It will be thus seen that the Howe

cellence received in this CENTENNIAL

TO LOUISIANIANS.


The publishers of the New ORLEANS
Times wish especially at this time tina
every citizen of this State should be sui
seriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest Importance to Louisiana
are pending waiting solution. A colyen
tion 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 extrayagan-
cies and gross injustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under

tion or the scOurge of yellow fever and its
lacknwledged blghted effects upon the
business and prosperity of the city of New
Orleans and the State, is now engrossing to
a large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighboriifg
State of Texas, removal of the State capi-
tai. etc.. demand constant consideration
and discussion.
The publishers of the TIMES refer with
ipride to the position taken by the TIMES
on all Of these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good of the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, devei-
opment and growth depend their compen-
sation and reward. From no other source
can they expect 10 subserve these ends.
The thorough independence of the TINES.
its strength, courage and consistency in
the discussion of ali questions, its indefati
gable and persistent labors to restore the

Markets..

The quotations for flour and wheat this week
show a decline in wheat, and flour about the
same as last week. Wheat yesterday ranged from
Is to %. according to quality the latter price
for prime article. Flour sold at Sc for extra
from the wagon. There has been very little OF
either Offering. This may be accounted for in
part, as to flour, because of the weakness oil the
streams interfering with the operations of tn
mills. There is no disposition on the part of the
holders. however, to part with their produce,
awaiting better condition OF the market. The
United States Consul at Odessa reports to the De-
partment Of State that the crops of Russia will
fall far short OF the usual harvest and that Amer
lean wheat must be in great demand in all parts
OF Europe The sales of wheat in the American
centres show that rise is anticipated, as Janua-
ry deliveries rule at from to cents higher than
December deliveries. The extraordinary ship
ments from this country-reaching 100000
bushels-only fmperfectly represents the Eu-
ropean demand. The deficiency in the importing
countries will not reach far short of 400 900 600
Notwithstanding deficiency. after the
surplus of all the grain exporting cou ntries has
been exhausted. There is nothing the refore in
the condition of the trade to encourage the belief
that wheat and flour will not advance after the
blockade in Baltimore, Chicago, and New York
has been relieved. Wheat was quoted in Rich
mond, yesterday, at 80 to 40. In Baltimore,
80 to 40, and Al for January deliveries. Corn
in this market 40 to As for and 81 for old oats
slightly advanced, being quoted yesterday at 75c
per 100 lbs, for best timothy baled. In Richmond,

A SAD SCENE. East Sunday evening. just
before dusk, a sad scene might have been
witnessed by those who were walking in the
Cemetery. An old negro man with a small
rude coffin under his arm, entered the gate,
and behind him was solitary woman,doubt-
less the mother OF the dead infant. AS they
passed the house, the man placed his burden
on chair near the gate, and calling Mr..
Mcnamara, asked him to bring screw-dfi-
yer, as the lid had gotten misplaced by the
journey. After fastening it. Mr.. Nc. offered
to help the old man along with his charge
but it was too short for two to carry conve-
niently, and so again placing it under his
arm, the mournful cortege pursued its way
to the grave. They had gone but short
distance when the lid again became unfast-
ened and came near dropping of,but adjust
ing it as best he could, the bearer continued
his journey, and just as twilight closed the
little coffin was laid beneath the clods.
