The electric light exhibition Satur-
day evening on Madison street drew an
immense crowd Of curious spectators,
but they we're disappointed, the light
not turning out to DO much, owing, it
was claimed, to a lack ola necessary
supply Of steam. The boiler at this
office worked up to 76 pounds to the
square inch, which is more than
enough for ordinary purpose,, but it
proved insufficient to run on electric
battery. While the steam was highest
the engine ran at a lively gait. the
engineer said 900 resolutions to the
second" but actually 1900 revolutions
to the minute, and the consumption Of
steam was more rapid than the boiler
could supply it. Though the steam
making surface is quite liberal il
quickly ran down to a low pressure. II
will require a large boiler, plenty Of
fuel and close firing to accomplish the
desired electric results. During the
trial the light flashed out quite bril-
liantly for a period, but the illumina.
ton was brief. The show ended like
that in front Of the Peabody last fall
1t didn't amount to much.

MAMMOTH COTTON BOAT,
Row Lying at Our Wharf:

The greatest cotton carrying vessel
upon the waters of the world, the
mammoth Henry Frank, is now lying
at our landing, and in all her pomp
and glory she presents a modest,
shapely and pleasing appearance. Her
chief clerk, Mr.. ALT. Grissom, wears
with becoming grace a handsome
golden cotton bale, presented by lead
ing members of the New Orleans cot
ton exchange. A large photograph Of
the vessel as she appeared opposite
New Orleans with her immense load
of 1926 bales of cotton, slowed thirteen
tiers above her guards, adorns the for
ward hall of the steamer. The entire
load was discharged at New Or
leans a week ago yesterday, and when
out it looked to be enough to load two
or three big boats. 1t was all deliv-
cred to the c~onsignees together with
$50 tons Of other freight, in clean,
good order, without a package being
mislaid or out Of condition. If the
boats commander, Captain Frank
Hicks, were to make a trip across the
ocean during the ensuing summer he
would DO lionized equal to General
Grant, and would return loaded with
crosses of the legion of honor, golden
cotton bales and other insignia Of
distinction and greatness. The steam

same time is a large cotton shipper

Mississippi, situated $50 miles below

departure from this port next
Wednesday, and already has 1000
bales Of cotton engaged from here
while at points below five or six thou
sand more awaits her approach.

with advantage to crockery, stoneware. Por-

The water is well boiled over fire, and then
allowed 10 cool slowly. When the articles
are taken out and washed, they will be found

Take, as very simple illustration, the case
of the young man who had been offered a sau-
Ger of deicately sailed ice cream by two young
ladies, who waited in convulsive glee for tile
first grimace and its attendant remarks. Not
a gesture or word betrayed he had noticed it
at all. Still talking lightly of last nights

the entire saucerful, then, bowling slightly,

ished practical joking on the faculty, not by
furnishing, but by foiling the intended fun of
the students. Informed one night that the
students were painting the walls of the
chapel, every WE'LL" he said quietly, Z" let
them paint: but tell me when they are
through" Dressing hastily, he went about
the town, rousiug every painter in the place,
and as the last student went out of the chapel
n dozen artisans went in. Next morning when
there was an unusually large attendance at
prayers, behold the cacimned walls as fair
as everl The dignity of the college had not
been allowed to be insuted, yet never a stu
dent was ever questioned, blamed, marked or
expelled. In the same manner, when the
tongue of the bell had been removed one night,
another was in its place before dawn, aud the
astonished students were summoned to their
devotions at the usual hour. AguiH, when the
wheel of the organ disappeared and the
organist had been secretly informed that his
services would not be required the next day,
one of the very delinquents was called upon to
take his place, finding, to his chagrin, that the
keys responded duifully TO his touch If lis

April term, 1881
Be it remembered that on the 21st day Of April
of this present term this cause came on for trial
and was tried before ths Hon. lawrence McCully,
presiding Justice, and foreign iury, when after
evidences had been adduced on both sides, notes
whereof are hereunto annexed aud made a part
hereof, and after counsel had addressed the jury,
the presiding Judge instructed the jury that they
would find a verdc. for the defendant unless the
evidsncs satisfied them that the vessel was total
loss or before midnight of June 9th, 1880; that
the question of total loss or not was one OF fact
for tue jury to find on the evidence; that vessel
was total loss when she was no longer of use for
the purposes of vessel, bat that total loss" did
not necessarily require destruction" of the yes
sci.
The jury found verdict for the plaintiff, to
which defen iant's counsel excepted as bsiny
against the law and the evidence, and OF the 18th
day OF April moved the Court that the said verdict
be set aside and new trial had on the aforesaid
grounds, which motion was overruled by the SAID
presiding Judge.
To which ruling the defendant excepted, and
such exceptions being reduced to writing and
found conformable to the truth, are hereby GER
titled and allowed.
Dated this Both day of April, 1891.

SOMETHING NEW.
Rice Planters. Attention!
Louisiana Sugar Bowl.

Louisiana Sugar bowl.
Responding to an invitation rom
the brilliantly talented inventor, a
civil engineer and architect not un-
known to fame in Scientific France,
we visited % certain portion of our
town, not much frequented, to wit
ness the operation OF an entirely new
principle in rice milling.
The invention consists in substitut-
ing for the vertical movement in
common use, whereby rice is de-
corticated by, so to speak, a species
of pounding, q rotary motion where
with the grains of rough rice are de-
eorticated and polished through sim
pie friction with each other. The
object sought is to avoid the break
age of grains and the pulveriza-
tion of the husks which has cost so
much time in winnowing and seper-
alton OF the broken from unbroken
grains. Ourrice planters and rice
milleIs will readily imagine, our de.
light in witnessing the operation of q
working model which acconplishes
all the inventor claims for it, which i;
to give to the world arice mill, which
in an incredibly short time, converts
the rough into beautifully polished
rice, in which comparatively few bro
