Of which are very handsome, are
very cheap. The walls of kitchens
and common rooms can be covered
in this way so as to make the ex-
pense very small. The wood can
be oiled, vanished or shellacked,
and then washed at pleasure. and
thus kept perfectly clean. 1t will
not crack or split when using, and
when on the walls stands like solid
work. Rooms have been lined with
wood hangipgs, and exposed to the
strongest heat from common stoves,
without the slightest sign Of peeling
off or warping. The article, when
ready for use, is very thin, and a
log measuring twenty-four inches in
diameter would make 1875 rolls. con-
tanning thirty six square feet each.
One machine will shave two rolls
per minute. By panelling with diff
ferent kinds of wood, room may
b. finished in elegant style and
made to correspond with the furnl-
ture. For example, if the furniture
is chestnut, with black walnut trim
mings, the walls could be hung with
the same kind of wood. Thus all
tastes could be gratiried, and parties
who may use this kind of hanging
will find that it will stand very much
longer than paper, and will improve
by age"

-' p A SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE PAPER.
A gentleman in Cambridge has in
vented process by which wood
may take the place of paper in the
adornment Of house walls:
"a very delicate, simple and beau
tiful machine has been constructed,
which will take portion Of tree
after it has been cut the right length
and width, and shave it up into thin
ribbons as wide as roll of house
paper, making one hundred to one
hundred and fifty tothe inch. These
rolls Of wood are placed on the walls
by paper-hangers with paste and
brush, precisely in the same manner
with paper The wood is wet when
used, and really works easier than
paper, because it is much more tough
and pliable. In these days, when
q, variety is sought for. one can finish
the walls of his house in different
woods, to suit his taste. One room
can be finished in bird's-eye maple,
another in chestnut, another in cherry,
another in white wood, and so on.
Thus he has no imitation but the
real, genuine article upon his walls.
The eye tires of set figures, such
as we have in ordinary paper
hangings, but never of nature itself.
The longer the wood hanging re-
mains on the wall, the more distinct
will be the grain and color Of the
wood. The expense of wood is less
than paper. Of course, if one wants
to make avery handsome room, he
can use expensive wood like rose
wood; but the ordinary kinds, some

four years old when the first Emperor

WASHINGTON LETTER.


WAsHINGroN, ID. G., Dec. 20, 1858.
Editors Journal;
For the last few days Senator Nor
toms powerful speech upon his bill
for the resumption of specie payment
has been the general topic Of CONVEX
sation. His plan as whole, and in
its separate provisions, meets with
sharp criticism, as any bill must that
proposes to deal in comprehensive
way with a matter of such delieacy !;
but it is conceded that the exposition
of his views has done much to estab-
lish groundwork for legislation.
The speech has further caused the
name of this eminent Senator to be
again mentioned prominently N con-
nection with the position of Secretary
of the Treasury in the next Cabi-
net; and his chances for this
position are undeniably as good
as any other man 's-if Elihu b.
Washburne does not want the place.
Your readers will remember Mr..
Washburne's letter published about
a week ago wherein he says: 80 far as
political position is concerned, L am
content with the one assigned me for
the ninth time by generous and con-
fdlng constituency, etc; but some
how this letter has made the Impress
ion here that the gentleman may yet
be induced by Grant to sacrifice
himself pro bono pubtic0, and to
accept the position at the head of the
Treasury, with its vast patronage.
The several correspondents, writing
aud telegraphing from this city, have
lately been considerably bothered
about the whereabouts Of Mr. Caleb
Cushing, aud according to them, he
is a rather numerous individual,
and badly scattered around just
now. 1t they are to be be-
lieved, he is at present on
his way to England to help Rev
erdy johnson eat his Christmas din
ners and settle the Alabama claims;
to Paraguay, to bring Lopez to terms;
to Spain, to buy Cuba; to Cuba, to
steal that Island while the Captain
General aud the rebels are fighting
for it; to Alaska, to see whether we
were swindled in buying that
country; to Bogota, for some
purpose or other; and to various
other foreign parts too numerous to
mention, but widely separated, to
attend to sundry little odd jobs in
which the American eagle is supposed
to have or want au interest.
The only daughter of Hon. John
d. Defrees, from Indiana, was mar
ried last week at the residence of her
father to Mr. james Sample, Clerk to
the Superintendent of the Government
Printing Office Hon, III. McCulloch
and wife, Speaker Colfax and wife,
Postmaster General Randall, Senator
Sherman and wife, Senator Anthony,
and large number of other distin-
guished persons, were present.
There are at present two men in
this city who have added hundreds of
millions OF dollars to the wealth of
this country: Drake, the discoverer
ofpetroleum n Pennsylvania, and Gen.
Suffer, the discoverer of gold in Cali
fornia Drake Is said to be in COM
paratively needy circumstances, while
SGtter has received a quarter of a
million, some time ago, from Con-
gress. He Is cow tryi ng to get the
balance from Congress to make mil
| lion full.
The Grecian bend seems to be on
the increase here. JUSTICE.
