SKETCH OF A LINEN FACTORY. "A
linen factory is not the most agreeable
place to visit in the world. There is,
to begin with, the carding room, with
it's dozens ofhungry machines that seize
on the flax with iron jaws, break it and
Tear it, and send it whirling through
whole digestive apparatus of wheels and
toothless cylinders, until it runs out in
longribbons of a felt like substance into
tall sheet iron pots. The clouds of dust
issue from the machines fill the eyes
and ears and nose OF the spectator, and
he is very glad to pass on into the room
of the spinners.
Here one finds himself all at once in
a temperature boiling hot, and an at
mosphere filled with clouds of almost
steam. The spinning is done on what's
called the wet system, That is the thread
in going to the spinners passes through
watts of sdalding hot water These watts
are ranged along just behind and above
each range of spindles, and are heated
by steam pipes. So immense is the
heat in this room that it is impossible
for the operatives to retain their cloth
ing.
The men were either naked or wore
simply very short pair of drawers,
and the women wore simply a cotton
skirt coming down to the knees and up
only to the waist. The aspect of the
room, filled with clouds of steam and
dripping with water everywhere, and
these poor, naked, pale, parboiled' iookii 6
creatures, that came and went silent rs
spectres, was strange enough. The
thread having once passed through the
water has very disagreeable, som
smell, that grows stronger and as 1t
goes on through the various processes Oh
reeling, banking and bailing, until IL
the store-rooms, where 1t Is corded up
IN waiting for the market, the odor Il
positively overpowering. Tue advan-
tages of the wet system consist III the
dissolving OF certain glntinous sub
stances of the flax IN the hot water,
which on its cooling and drying, glue
together the little fiaments of the
thread, and give increased strength

REyERDY JOHNSON.

Mr.. Reserdy johnson continues to
play the funk ey to the rebel sympa-
thizers in England All the papers
are full OF accounts Of his exploits in
this line The Liverpool dinner being
over, it was to be hoped that We should
be spared the disgrace of hearing any
thing more about it. But tho journals
continue to print details of that odlous
scene. and private letters supply others.
When Mr. Laird entered the room
says one account, he appeared nervous
and Hurried. Several of his friends
entered at once into conversation
with him. After brief interval of
suspense, the American Ambassador
asked 10 Be introduced to NJ. LAIRD Mr.
Johnson has been long enough in Eng
land to know that such q request is o
confession of social inferiority on the
part of the person who makes it. Mr.
Laird condescended to grant Mr., John
sons request. As he might have re-
fused we ought to be grateful for such
a token of forgiveness. The introduce
ton over, Mr.. johnson said he was
very glad to make Mr.. Laird's acquain-
lance that he had come to England as
peace maker, and desired that all an
tagonism arising out of the late unfor-
tunate civil war, should be forgotten.
OF course nobody was surprised when
Mr., johnson and Mr.. Laird went of
next day on picnic party together.
Mr.. johnson is to go shortly to an

other dinner offered him by some of
the Manchester people. He has been
invited also to dinner at Birmingham,
under the auspices, it is said, of well
known Tories, for whom he appears to
have special affection. A Tribune
correspondent says that thus far every
overture made to him in his official
capacity by Liberals has been rejected.
Some of the workmen OF London
very foolishly, no doubt--sent word to
the Legation that they would be glad
to invite Mr.. johnson to o dinner, if
agreeable to him. They desired to
show that it was not only the Tories
who welcomed opinions and per-
sonal matters aside-the American Min
lister. They we're given to understand
that no such testimonial was desired by
Mr.. johnson. He has cast in his lot
with the whole set Of old nglo-Rebels,
and with them he is resolved to cors
tinue. But Grant will be President not
many months hence, and then, if not
before, we shall be relieved from the
great disgrace of having representa-
tive so false to the national sentiment
and so Indifferent to the national honor.
