CIGARETTES.

The choicest cigarette on the market, made exclusively of Vuelta Abajo Havana tobacco, bought by Sanderson, the owner of the great "Honradez" factories in Havana and manufactured by the Branch Factory in New Orleans. No flavoring or decoction of any kind are used in the manufacture of this cigarette, which commends itself to those who appreciate the mild, pleasant aroma peculiar to genuine Havana tobacco, as well as to those who can realize the inestimable advantages to health and palate which result from smoking absolutely *pure* tobacco, instead of the vile, doctored and unwholesome trash of which many cigarettes are now composed.

LOUQUE'S *IMPROVED* BALANCED ENGINE

Charles Louque, of No. 31 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, La., has devised and patented the improved balanced reciprocating counterweight engine shown in the photograph, in which one of the great difficulties in the smooth running of an engine is thoroughly overcome. It is well known that of the moving parts of an engine the piston, piston rod and crosshead have only a reciprocating motion, while the connecting rod has both a reciprocating and rotary motion, the rotary motion being almost *nil* at the connection with the crosshead, and being almost perfectly rotary at its connection with the crank, which has, of course, only a rotary movement. To perfectly balance these motions it is necessary to counteract the effects of the one by the other. In the engine represented in the accompanying photograph this end is reached by a simple arrangement of counterbalancing parts. The engine has a three-crank shaft. The connecting rod being weighed, its weight is divided in two equal parts, and a rod is connected to each of the crank pins opposite the main crank. These rods always move in opposition to the connecting rod. The piston, piston rod and crosshead are also weighed and the weight divided in two equal parts, are placed at the end of the balanced rods, and are made to move in slides running parallel with the crosshead. The engine is thus perfectly balanced. The inventor did not deem it necessary or useful to counterbalance the slide valves. The effect of this arrangement has been so practical that these engines have been run without bolting to the floor, and without flywheel, at either slow or high speed.

These engines are now manufactured in New Orleans, under the special supervision of the patentee, and satisfaction is guaranteed.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
COLLEGE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, NEW ORLEANS.

This institution, incorporated with all the rights and privileges of a University, is
conducted by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus. It is a Day College, affording the two-
fold advantage of a Classical and Commercial education.
There are three distinct departments: The Undergraduate or Classical, the Commer-

cial and Preparatory.
The classical course of studies embraces the doctrines of the Catholic Religion, the

The classical course of studies embraces the doctrines of the Catholic Religion, the Greek, Latin, English and French languages, Rhetoric, Belles-Lettres, Elocution, History, Geography, Arithmetic, Mathematics, Chemistry, Natural, Mental and Moral Philosophy. All those who complete this course successfully, receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Subsequently the degree of Master of Arts can be obtained by devoting another year to the study of philosophy in the Institution, or two years to any of the learned professions.
The commercial course comprises a full course of religious instruction, the English

The commercial course comprises a full course of religious instruction, the English and French languages, Rhetoric, Belles-Lettres, Elocution, History, Geography Arith-
metic, Book-Keeping, Mathematics, Chemistry and Natural Philosophy. At the comple-
tion of the course, honorary certificates are conferred on successful students. The degree
of Bachelor of Science can be obtained by devoting one year more to the study of science.
The preparatory course is chiefly designed to fit the younger students, who are not yet

The preparatory course is chiefly designed to fit the younger students, who are not yet sufficiently advanced, for a higher class in either the classical or commercial course. It consists of two classes, in which the pupils are carefully taught Catechism, Spelling, Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic.

The scholastic year, which begins on the first Monday of October and closes about the end of July, is divided into two terms, the second beginning in March. At the close of each term the students are examined and prizes are awarded to the most deserving.

Once every month the places or degrees of merit obtained by the students in their respective classes are publicly proclaimed, and honors are awarded to such as have been most distinguished for good conduct, diligence and proficiency, at which time also an exact report is sent to their parents.

When a student presents himself for admission, he is examined by the Prefect of Studies, and placed in the class to which his previous acquirements entitle him. Students are not admitted unless they know how to read and write.

As the progress of the students greatly depends on their regular attendance at school, and on their private studies at home, to which three hours ought to be devoted daily, parents are earnestly requested to see that these points be faithfully carried out.

In case of absence, a note from the parents is invariably required. When students are to be withdrawn from the Institution, due notice should be given to the President or Vice-President.

As the moral and religious training of the students is the leading object of the Insti-
tution, the doctrines and practices of religion are carefully taught, and the greatest atten-
tion paid to morals. Whilst within the College premises, the students are constantly under
the watchful care of one or more of the professors.

Though the government of the Institution is rather mild than severe, yet for the
maintenance of order and discipline without which good results are not attainable, strict
obedience, blameless conduct and assiduous application are required. Any serious neglect
of these essential points renders the offender liable to correction, and even to dismissal, if
this be deemed necessary.

Terms, payable in advance. Tuition per month, $6 00.

Graduates of the institution pay a fee of $5 00 on the reception of their diplomas.

Students of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy, pay $10 00 a year for the use of chem-
ical and philosophical apparatus.
