one OF the city papers says: "a lady
who IL constant visitor to the Exposition
boasts that she really only spends five cents
for admittance. 1t is true she pays the fftv
cent coin at the gate, but calculates that
She collects during her tour at least forty
i've cents worth of odds and ends. It is
curious to enumerate what the visitors re-
celve from the various exhibitors. Thev
get cake of fine soap, clothes lines, box of
mustard, package of washing soda, pearl
inc, chocolate, cooking soda, box of snufY
yeast powder, cocoa, spools of thread. glue.
tooth powder, starch. tobocco, shells of
SOAP tin pan, etc. In addition to these,
the visitors handkerchiefs are saturated
with cologne, they are served with al. the
hot tea they can drink. and are presented
literally with thousands of beautiful pictnre
cafds.''

CHANGE OF NAME.-The popular hotel
conducted by Messrs. A. j. Bethancourt
and Samuel Ayraud, as proprietor and
manager respectively has been christened
with new name-or rechristened with its
former title. rather-that of Riverside
Hotel. This is not only more euphonious
than Peep-o'-Day, but is also far more ap-
propriate as the establishment is directly
on the bank of the Father of waters and
could not have 8 name which better indi-
Gates its situation than Riverside. The
good run of custom with which the hotel
began business under its new management
still continues, and we are glad to see the
efforts Of its gentlemanly young conduc-
tors to afford the travelling public good &C.
meeting with such merited
appreciation and encouragement.

Contrary to our expectation the Califor-
MIA Marionettes or wooden minstrels !"
drew small audiences at Phoenix Hall,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We had
supposed the house would be crowded, as the
price Of admission was low and the enter
tainment promised to be highly amusing.
The latter anticipation was fully realized,
and all who attended appeared to be we'll
pleased with the character of the perform
ances. The Marionette troupe went from
here to Plaquemine and will 90 thence to
Baton Rouge. It should be stated that
there was circus in town Tuesday evening
and free open air concert Wednesday
evening, and these affairs undoubtedly
attracted good many people who would
otherwise have attended the entertainments
at the hall.

The BELLA IsRAEL.-Our steam ferry
boat Bella Israel is still lying in New Or
leans, waiting for a new boiler, and Capt.
Miller expects her to be ready for service
again i'll about fifteen days. The boiler ia
being made at the Whitney Iron Works, of
iron 6-l00 of an inch in thickness. having
10000 pounds tensile strength, and will be
allowed steam pressure of 100 pounds to
the square inch, nearly double the amount
the old boiler was permitted to carry. This
will greatly increase the speed and power
of the boat, though she will probably never
find it necessary to carry her full limit of
steam. The long delay of the ferryboat in
New Orleans was largely due to an attempt
to patch the old boiler so as to render it
serviceable. The iron failed to stand the
test. hence Capt. Miller decided to have a
frst-c new boiler put in.

will be postponed until the 22nd instant on
account of the weather.

SENTENCED.

Judge Baker has denied the motion for a
new trial made by counsel for the prisoners
convicted of the murder of "Cap" Muir
ply in New Orleans, and also overruled a
motion in arrest of judgment. Sentence of
death was then passed on Pat Ford and
John Murphy, while Judge Ford, Caulfeld
and Buckley were each condemned to pay
81 fine and suffer imprisonment in the PEN
itentiary twenty years, the extreme limit of
confinement prescribed by law for the
crime of manslaughter.
The prisoners have taken an appeal torthe
Supreme Court and are said to entertain
strong hopes that the verdict rendered
against them will be set aside by that tri-
bunal. Some weeks must elapse before a
final decision of the case can be expected.

The following are points in decisions
on priority OF invention:
The party who first reduces an Inc
vention TO actual use is entitled to tho
patent for it, although the other party
may have first conceived it, if he did
not exercise reasonable diligence in re-
ducing It to practice.
II q party who first conceived ma
chine followed up tho idea diligently,
and was the first to reduce it to actual
practice, he is entitled to patent for
It, although his competitors had coin
plete working drawings OF it previous
" prepared, and had obtained pat
ent.
Whoever first reduces an invention
TO practice and makes an application
OF 1t to use. will usually be the prior
inventor.
In order to defeat a patent the courts
require il to be shown that another
not only conceived the invention in
dispute before the patented, but was
the first to perfect and adopt the same
to practical use, or was using reasona-
BILE diligence for that purpose.
The parties who first embodied an
invention in a machine which they
kept In operation afterward Tor actual
use, besides manufacturing and selling
other machines. arc prtnla fzcie en-
titled to that patent.
He is the inventor. entitled to the
protection of tho patent law, who is
first to complete the invention and
publish il to the world, and not he who
confines the knowledge of it 10 his eli

When one is first to conceive an in

and delays making an application for
