HOW TO PUT bows STRAW MATING

Az the summer is approaching, and the
time Of mating draws near. it may be
we'll TO call the attention of the house
leeners to the fact that, as there is right
way of doing everything, there is decid-
edly right way to put down Canton mat
ting. 1t is the almost universal practice
to put it down wrong. Most persons cut
the lengths, and then, laying the breadthss
in their proper places on the floor, proceed
to drive a vast number of tacks up and
down the edges. This method serves the
purposd of keeping the covering very
lightly on the floor, but it Injuries the
boards and ruins the mating. Every
tack breaks one straw, and perhaps more.
These Canton mattings are made on boats
where they are woven in short pieces about
two yards long These short pieces are
afterward Joined together on the shore in
lengths of about forty yards. 1t is easy to
see where these two yard pieces are joined
and the first thing to be done, after the
mating is cut in the proper lengths. is to
sew these places across and across on the
wrong side to keep the joints from open
ing. Then sew the breadths together, and
tack it TO the floor in the same manner that
you treat carpet. Mattings made in this
way will last fully twice as long as where
they are tackled in every breadth. a good
mating should last six or seven years.

SENATOR BonTg. Of onr cotem
pories are puzzled TO define the party with
which Senator Booth will act in lis new
capacity. Ills vote ON the Louisiana
resolution was in the nature of good
Lord and good devil act, somewhat like
the chap who, in the late Rebellion was
"in favor OF the war, but agin its prose-
cution." We see it now stated that our
Senator will act wholly with the Demo
crats on all political questions, that he
was Democrat at the time OF Lincoln's
ir1 election, and will now return to his
frs. love. Ilis also said that it will be
the aiul Of Booth aud his Iudepenlent
associates to crowd the Republicans to
the vail in this State and destroy what
ever chance Of success. they now have by
urging an Independent safe ticket
Such would seem TO be the programme
from the address issued By The ludepend-
cnt State Central Committee, which at
tempts to carry The belief that the election
can be made in this State this year On 10
cal issues without reference to the effect
IFS results would have upon the national
politics next year. II the plans of our
Senator are correctly outlined, it will be

a GOOD story is told in connection with

and learned what he was doing
" What 90 he exclaimed to anthony and
Morrill,, who We're present, care you go
ing 70 sell the Union ?" {" We have al
ready sold it," replied Anthony, "and

" But are you going to sacrifice me 2"
exclaimed his ExcclIency in tones Of in
