WASHINGTON, TeU IT.
A bill has been drafted to meet sub
s,aniially the recommendations OF the
President in his recent special mes
sages with regard to the early resump
lion Of specie payments and submitted
to him, as it probably will he to the
Committee of Ways and Means. It.
provisions differ in several respects
from the suggestions of the President,
but there il reason to believe he will
not seriously object to thu changes.
The bill! provides for the 5 OF the
thirty years iOur per cent. bonds al
ready authorized by the act vi July.
1870, and Ivy the redemption act of
January 1878. The amount OF green
backs to be funded into these bonds i,
800, OOO. 900. limited to $40, 900 900 in
any month. A further sum-. say oi
$50, 900, 900 2reenbacks. is authorized TO
he withdraw In exchange for sub>id
larry silver, and to this end coin is TO
be increased To the aggregate of $780,
100000, including the $50, 900 900 al
present authorized. The theory Of
the provision IL that silver change will
take the place of small greenback
ones and twos. These are limited by
the act of 1868 to $35, 900 900, but the
amount now outstanding is believed
to he below thirty millions. No com
mission Is allowed for fund ny or ex
change of greenbicks for bonds OF
silver coin. The expenses OF ergrav
ing, printing, etc.. OF The bonds are
limited tn one quarter OF one per cent.
Some indications have been given that
the bill will meet with favor from
both sides of the House of Represen.

How Rubber Boots Are Made.

The gum used is imported direct from
France, South America and Central
America, that from Central America
being the best, while the African gum
is the poorest. The raw gum, which is
nearly white, is ground several times
between immense fluted iron rollers,
after which it passes through the COM
position room, which process is that of
passing the rubber between chilled iron
cylinders, of many tons weight, which
are kept very hot and very smooth. A
part of the rubber intended for cup
pers" is here spread upon and fastened
to long sheets of cloth. The heels and
taps are stamped out of sheets of gum
of the required thickness. The rubber
cloth is now carried to the cutter room,
where it is cut out and sent to the boot
makers.
The boots are made by men, the
shoes or ordinary rubbers by girls,
while the over-shoes are made by either.
One man will make twelve or fourteen
pairs of boots day, and receive twenty
cents pair. After the boot-maker is
through they are placed in an oven,
where for twelve hours they are sub
jected to a temperature of 600. In one
factory about 1000 pairs of boots, rub
bers and overshoes are turned out daily.

The Lee Monument Model.

the opportunity of looking at the various models
in plaster of Paris of the equestrian statue Of
General Lee, for the execution and erection OF
which national memorial money is still wanting.
The specimen models clustered 10 the capitol
arc very numerous and 10 some Instances very
handsome aud elaborate. Opinions, of course,
will vary as to the most appropriate, ADD after
oil, perhaps, the one on which the honor oil
selection may fall, will fail to hit the public
idea. Both 10 England and America the statues
of illustrious men are failures, if not 10 execu'

nearly all OF the models Of Lees statue repre-

cutting, fore and after. like that affected by
The great Duko of Wellington, or the three
cornered cooked hat Of Frederick of Prussia, las
fossiIizsd in tho statue at Berlin,) it might be
accepted as part of General Lee himself; as
it is | regard it as Objectionable. Then the
stationary position of the horse is just as sug
gestive of farmer looking over his acres o. Of
. commanding officer surveying field Of battle.
There Is such stiff. monotonous figure of
horse 10 the equestrian statue of Wellington,
opposite his resldeoce, 10 Hyde Park, that it is
to this hour sube,t of criticism and SATIRE
No, statue should, 10 my humble opinion, be-,
10 all respects, description in marble of the
profession, az we'll as the lineamcnts and ap
pendages of the subject, and holding this
opinion. think the model of Lee, without his
hat, wearing his sword, while his horse ap-
pears to be snorting 10 his eagerness for the
fray, will be the most popular, as it is uraues.

only objection that can urge to the figure is
