Tew Uses for paper,

a new branch Of industry has just been
introduced. We have for some time been
familiar with various applications of paper.
But now the uses ofpapcr arc very much
extended by a patent process by NJ. Pavy.
The paper made by this peculiar process is
Of peculiar kind. 1t very much rcscm-
bles that used by the japanese for pocket
handkerchicls, and is susceptible Of the
| same application. The patcntec calls it
ieitel, and to certain extent the term
is appropriate. Both animal and vegetable.
materials arc employed in its production
Among the vegetable we find some hither-
to much employed in the manufacture of
paper-New Zealand fax, jute, plants of
the maliow,' ,'and the ordinary fbres, fayf
hemp, and cotton. The animal matters
used are wool, silk, skins, and other ma
terials, which is certainly novelty in pa
per making. These various matters are
reduced to pulp and blcached, and then
' feted' in appropriate machinery, which
is, no doubt, the same as used in ordinary
paper making. 1t will be easily under
stood that the mixture of such materials as
We have named gives paper of most ex-
extraordinary pliancy, ilexibility, and
strength. 1t can, indeed, be sewn togeth-
er with as much ease, and makes as strong
a seam as the woven fabrics it is intended
to replace. The uses TO which the paper
can be put are innumerablc. We can men,
ton few of the articles we have seen.
First, petticoats, which no. girl of the pc.
riod could resist. These may be printed
exactly like the skirts now so fashionable,
or they may be white, and have open work
stamped out in patterns, which scarcely any
amount of labor with scissors and needles
could initiate. Tho marvel is that they
can be sold retail at six pence each. We
have next bed furniture, of imitation crc-
tonnes and chintzcs. These are printed
with patterns of great beauty, and set Of
curtains will cost only five shillings. We
have also quilts which besides being nom
conductors of heat have a genteel appear
ancc. White day-covcrs for beds are made
with embossed patterns and equally cheap.
White table cloths, stamped with patterns
in remarkable taste, will, We are sure,
soon ornament many dinner table, and
serve to light the fires the day after the
party, unless the host be very economical
and resell them to the paper maker. But
the material is also applied to articles of a
more substantial character. Very good
imitation Of leather is formed of it, and
furniture covering, and even shoes, may
be, made. The last can be made impcrme-
able to wet by the introduction of oils and
India rubber. We have said enough to
show that a material is produced which
will probably have considerable influence
on some of our staple industries Paper
collars, it may well be supposed, have. al
ready had sensible influence on the linen
trade, and further extensive substitution
Of paper for woven fabrics must produce
still greater changes. es.-English paper.

terpollation regarding documents missing from
the archives of the government, said that some
letters of Napoleon |. were missing, bnt they
were in such hands that he would take the re-
sponslbilty of leaving them there NJ. Keva-
try was dissatisfied with the explanation, and
charged that the present cabinet was no long

the court. For this the deputy was called tC
order. but continued declaring that it would
be better to have ten archives for documents
proving that the present Napoleon sought to
corrupt the leaders of the legislative body.

marks.

SENATE. greater portion of the morning
hour was consumed by Mr.. Scott, in refuta-
ton of the theories and statistics of the special
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and par
ticularly as to cost of the manufacture of pig
iron. -
Upon the expiration of the morning hour
Mr.. Trumbull said he desired to call up the
Mississippi bill.
Mr.. Ramsey made an effort to bring before
the Senate bill to abolish the Thanking privi-
lege, remarking that he had been instructed
by the postal committee to urge its immediate
consideration.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine, being awarded the
floor, called up the bill making appropriations
to supply DEFICIENCIES in the appropriations to
the naval service for the present fiscal year.
He explained that the bill was intended to en-
able the Navy Dept to meet the exigency of
the public service, and that the amount appro-
priated had been reduced to the lowest figures
consistent with the interests of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Cragin submitted an amendment to re-
strict the expenditures of money, providing
materials for carrying on the work, and pay
the employees and bureaus for which it was
appropriated, which was agreed to, and the
bill was then passed.
On motion of Mr. Trumbull the Mississippi
bill was taken up.
| The bill gave rise to lengthy discussion
upon the policy of imposing fundamental con-
ditions prior to the representation of State
in Congress.
Messrs. Trumbull, Morton and Stewart
favored unconditional representation, and
Messrs. Pomeroy, Edwards and Allison OPP
posed it.

Capitol police keeping up their present num-
her and pay, gave rise to considerable discus

was taken, aad Mr.. Fegley's amendment Of
fered yesterday was rejected. The paragraph
for the pay and mlage of the members having
been reached, Mr.. Butler, of Mass, moved to
reduce it to half million dollars. with pro-
vso that no part of it shall be used for milage.
The debate on the amendment was animated
and at times spicy.
Mr.. Fitch, of Nevada, opposed, and Mr..
Ingersol of Illinois, favored the amendment.
Mr.. Willard, of VT, hoped that the chair
man of the committee on appropriations had
not so far forgotten himself as not to be able
to sustain the amendment.

CONSOLIDATION.

An adjourned hearing before the Committee
on Railroads, on the question of railroad con-
solidation, was held in the Senate Chamber
yesterday afternoon. We give the following
abstract of remarks:
Mr.. Lunt, Superintendent of E. & n. A. II.
r. said l have been railroading for 20 years.
Was in the West during late years. The
method of transportation. There were several
lines from St. Louis to New York, but what
was supposed to be wanting was one CONSOLE
dated line of road. The railway has suppressed
ed the canal and obtains nearly all the carry
ing business and it is because there is a
through line and it does not cost a large
amount for reshipping. The wheat raiser in
Missouri can put his grain into New York
city as cheap as the wheat grower in Western
New York.
1t Is a fact that 9 cents mile does not pay.
The New York Central railway is obliged to
carry for that, and have been unable to raise
the price, though other roads charge % and
cents mile. This does not go to prove that
not be sustained unless the State in which it
is situated thrives and is progressive.
There is no danger of being too liberal in
railroad legislation. Thinks about 3 Cts per
mile is fair rate for through fare.
Mr.. Emery Of Bangor, said he represents
the European & North American r. r., and
is in favor of consolidation. Believes the in
terests of the companies asking for consolida-
ton and the public are identical. Bangor is
not the stopping place for all the business that
comes from above and beyond. Our interest
is to get that business done as low as it possi-
bly, can be. Then arises the question whether
it is best to have one road or competing
route And we nave come to the conclusion
that one railroad from Bangor northward can
do all the business necessary to be done for
many years And the more business rail-
road does the more and cheaper they can af-
ford to do it.
As to the effects of competition between
railroads upon freights and fare. In no case
in this country or in England can it be shown
that competition has permanently reduced
fares. The Boston and Maine r. r. have not
competed for more than two weeks at time
for the past ten years. And it must be so, for
a railroad is an expensive machine. 1t is for
the interest of the public that railroads shall
be continued, and if one price for fare and
freight is not sufficient to pay expenses a
higher one must be made.
If the two roads are consolidated they can
carry freight cheaper. 1t is for our interest
for them to consolidate though our company
is not specially interested. The expense OF
| trans-shipment in Portland is % cents n ton,

KEEGAN Us. DICKEY.

A decision in this famous contested cleo
ton case was reached yesterday, and
Dickey the Madawaska king was obliged
to yield the sceptre to his young compet-
itor. The struggle was long and fierce,
hot and heavy, but young blood triumph
ed, and the Scared warrior of hundred
fights bit the dust. If this had been done
in fight with some Black Republican
contestant for the seat of honor, the van
pushed hero might have smiled from the
field of defeat, but to meet his death
wound at the hand of a member of his
own political party, to be endorsed by
one of his own clansmen, is worse than
death or retirement to the Acadian shades
of Madawaska. We mistake the mettle
of these valiant men if this is the last of
the Keegan and Dickey struggle. We
predict there will be such a man in NADIA
waska next September as it would require
the powers of Milton to describe properly.
Naked voters will dance around the polls
in greater numbers than ever; whiskey
will flow rs freely as water, and election
returns will be a wonder and puzzle for
admiring generations to study. Person
ally Mr.. Diekcy is prince of good fellows,
and has hosts of friends in the Legisla-
ture and among our citizens. Keegan
bears his honors well. Exit Dickey, enter
Keegan. Second scenu, next September,
in Madawaska.

We have prepared full report Of the meet
ings of the Maine Historical Society, held in
this city yesterday, which is crowded out OF
our paper this morning. 1t will appear to-
morrow. The meetings were of great interest
and were better attended than they have been

We learn that Mr.. Morrill,, General Agent
of the New York Life Insurance Company at
Portland, received last week an application
for policy of $4,000, and that the person
making the application, had prior insurance
upon his life, amounting to $4,000. This
shows what the business men of Portland
think of Life Insurance.
