New WArERpRooFIHG CoMPosIrioN FOR Cor
roN AND OTHER FABRIcs.---M. CIeste Mennott, Of
Paris has recently invented and patented the fol-
lowing waterproo6ng composition which he
denominates hydrofugene. In vessel capable of
containing 3 gallons place % lbs Of alum or sui
phate of copper reduced to powder. In a second
vessel like the other, place Ia ozs of olec acid, or
the stearine of commerce, or good soap. The
soap or searne is dissolved by heat in gallons
OF alcohol, and then poured on the alum sui
phate Of copper, and the whole submitted TO a
high temperature, when the "hydrofugene" is OBJ
tanned or rather is the result of the mixture OF
these compounds. 1t can thus be obtained IN a
dry or moulded state. To waterproof cotton or
linen fabrics. dissolve one part by weight of the
'hydrofugene" in 100 parts of water dip the cloth
in it, and hang it up to dry Treat silk or paste
board in the same way.
This waterproof composition permits the air to
pass through the cloth, but prevents water from
doing so. This is very excellent waterproohng
composition we hope that our readers Will take
advantage of this information

Yea there something in his eye
That won nay love, knew not why.

To bid him welcome to my roof

And peace bound up my broken heart.

And honored him mid shame and scorn.

But the free spirit cried, 81 will !"

NATIONAL MONUMEN
A WEEKLY JOURNAL,

To be published in Washington under The sa,ciion
Qfhe Washington National Monument Society.
JAMES G. PicKETT, Editor and Publisher.
The MoNUmENT is intended to be a literary, ag
ricultural, and miscellaneous paper, 1t will con-
tain select portions of the literature Of the day
the best that can be found in American and Euro
pean publications.; interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news;
a synopsis OF the proceedings of Congress, and
every thing that such journal might be expected
to contain, with the exception of party politics,
which will be at all times most vigorously ex-
cluded.
The MONUMENT will be published for the ex-
press and the sole purpose OF aiding in the erec-
ton of the noble column now rising on the bank
Of the Potomac, in honor of the Father of his
Country, and which every one who venerates the
name of WAsHMGToN, would rejoice TO see com
pleted. After deductlng out of the subscription,
the expense of the journal proposed to be publish
ed the remaining funds will be faithfully applied
and without reserve, to the purpose indicated
The aid, therefore, of all who willing to con-
tribute to so patriotic an object, and one so entire
ly national, is earnestly requested. By subscrb-
ing to the MoNUmENT, valuable journal at low
price may be obtained, while il will be doing
something, at the same time, towards completing
that majestic memorial Of the Nations gratitude.
The board of managers recommend Mr.. Pick
EFT, formerly Fourth Auditor ofthe Treasury and
and publish the Monument journal, one well
qualified TO perform the duties of editor, and to
conduct the paper faithfully, and satisfactorily to
the subscribers They assure their feow-citi-
| zens that this enterprise is not speculation got
up for individual emolument. Mr.. Pickett will
make the experiment with his own means and a
his own risk, and if successful, he will receive
nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than
! very moderate compensation for his services. No
one dollar therefore, of the direct subscription to
the erection of the Monument will be, in any
event, applied to the support Of the paper, noi
the society in any manner held pecuniary respons-
ible. ..0.
To give the public an idea of what may be done
with the journal it is proposed to publish, it may
be stated that list of fifty thousand paying sub
scribers, two dollars each, will yield an annual
net profit Of from fifty to sixty thousand dollars.
The post masters, and secretaries of all organ
lied bodies throughout the Union, are respect
fully requested to act agents in obtaining SUBJ
scriptions for this Journal thus aiding the great
object of our exertions. ....

object for which the Monument newspaper will
be established, must wish it to succeed is hoped
that they will contribute TO its success by publish
