| the apparatus may be adjusted to any
weight that is to be put upon the ropes or
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 lets 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
rope, ready torepeat the operation il favor
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, a line with
q weight at one end may be provided III
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, 1879-12-06

Among the things most required
in these days of tall buildings and
narrow places of entrance and exit,
are means of escape in case of fire
for those who occupy the upper
apartments. Apparatus for this pnr-
pose should be compact, portable,
and yet strong and reliable. To en-
body these desirable qualities in a
single device has been the aim of
the inventor whose fire escape is
shown in the accompanying engrav-
ing.
The iron frame, A, which supports the Sc
yeral parts of the machine is secured in a
washstand or some other suitable piece of
furniture, which is placed upon casters,
and made of sufficient weight and strength
to suit the purpose. A double drum, B, is
journaled to the frame, A, and two ropes,
rope ladders, or chains are attached there
to, one i'll each groove of the drum. To
these ropes OF chains adjustable seats are
suspended by means of hooks.
When the drum. B, is revolved it imparts
through the medium of the gear wheels an
increased motion to the shaft, G, which in
turn, by means of cranks, ID. and Z, of un-
equal radius, imparts rocking motion to
the shaft. f that carries the pendulum or
weight, Fl, which may be screwed up or
down on the rod to regulate the rotary
motion of the drum, B. Screwing up the
weight toward the shaft, F, will permit the
drum, B. to run with an increased velocity;
screwing the weight down produces the
opposite effect. By means of this device

the end of one rope, and let ones cell
down, that is, few seconds at most.
In addition to the above mentioit-
ed advantages, the apparatus herein
described will be found of great
service to facilitate the ascension of
outsiders into buildings in eonfia-
grafton, for the purpose of ;lffording
assistance, putting out fires, saving
yaluables, etc. 1t will also be found
a S safe and convenient auxiliary to
masons engaged in erecting isolated
chimneys, to ascend and descend.
From the above it will appear OBJ
yious 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 PERFECT
SAFETY with which the most
nervous or unskiHed persons may
avail themselves of it in pressing
emergencies. With such an appara-
tus at hand, everybody viii fee1
personally secure against danger
from fire.

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

At the 45th 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 ssCENTENNIAL MEDAL,a under the
following rules
.sThis Medal (of goldl 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 a majority OF the
whole Board of Managers :.
It will be thus seen that the Howe"
still leads all competitors-and we chai-
lenge all Sewing Machine Companies IN
the land to produce an award OF Ike ex-
cellence received in this CENTENNIAL
YEAR.

cies and gross injustiees 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
tlon OF the seonrge of yellow fever and Its
acknowledged blighted effects upon the
business and prosperity Of the city OF New
Orleans and the State, is now engrosslng to
"a large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighborlng
State OF Texas, removal of the State capl-
tai, ETC., demand constant consideration

quoted everywhere as the representative
of the best Southern thought and opinion.
The publishers wish that a 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 d newspaper giving ALL the NEWS OF
the day as commercial paper, showing

COMFORTABLE QUARTERS.
New York Sun.

Ne,c York Sun.
A crayon drawing of suffers saw
Mil" the scene of the discovery OF
gold in California about thirty years
ago, hung near the entrance to the
drawing room of the Sturtevant House
last evening. 1t was drawn by Mr.. q.
H, johnson, who probably took the
first photograph that was ever taken on
the Pacific coast. Gen. Fl. G. Gibson,
U. s. A., Gen. George P. lhrie, Gen.
James W. Sweeny, ex-Mayor Vance,
Cornelius Lydecker, the Hon. Jere-
miah Sherwood, the Hon. Demas
Strong, the Hon. James s. Wetheredi'
and many other pioneers OF the terri
torial days of California, as they COM
placently marched to their fourth an
mai BANQUET, and thirty-frst ceiebra--
tion of the discovery of gold, looked
mn at it. The walls of the dining room
were hung with shields and scrolls, In
scribed with legends that were mean
ingless to all except the grizzled Forty
miners. But as they read Yankee
inns" "Mokelume Hill," Big Oak
Flat" "Red Dog, V " You Bet, Dom
Pedro's Bar" "Oro Fino," ''Mission
de Dolores, "San Rafael, and Santa
Barbara" the foodgates of memory
were opened. As they began to enjoy
the oyesters and sip the Rhine wine,
they lived over again in story, with
kindling eye and flushing cheek, the
life of the canon, the gulch, and the
camp. Gen. Gibson presided. A string
and reed band played softly the well-re-
membered airs of the past as the menu,
garnished with such culinary insblra-
lions as green turtle la Sutter and
salmon la San Francisco, was dis
cussed. Mr.. George Leland generated
the well-drilled army of walters III the
placing and the removing of the
courses, and kept the champagne bot
ties in a constant state of pop and tizz.
When the fruits and heavier wines
were put on the board, many lady
guests of the hotel were given seats
near the door, that they might hear
the speeches Gen. Gibson delivered
the opening address. Then letters of
regret were read from Gems. Sutter,
Sherman, Fremont, and Revere, ex-
Secretary Bristow, Gov Cobinson,
Mayor Cooper, Admiral Livingston,
and others. James S. Roberts read a
poetical tribute to Gen. Sutter
James J. McClosky, probably the
only surviving member of the first
theatrical troupe that followed the
pioneers, said that every wrinkle, every
gray hair that he saw about him, sug-
gested "reminiscences, numerous OF
pathetic, of 40. By his tireside now
he recounts the events of the pioneer
life. One episode he recalls with par
ticular interest just now On the way
up to Stockton he was one of band
OF gallant souls. They cared little for
names of antecedents. They re-christ-
ened each other He was known as
''Red York." because he hailed from
New York and had red hair. A long,
thin youth, riding an unkempt and un-
willing mule, joined the party. He
was called the Paper Man, because
he was q newspaper correspondent.
When they reached Stockton there
was not much room for choice in the
way of lodgings. The Paper Man"
found an unoceupied bed in room oc-
cupied by Capt. Ulysses IS. Grant,
afterward President of the United |
States. The paper Man was Bayard
Taylor.
