 he editor of the Paper World recently took the trouble to visit this firm and prints very
 complimentary article in his paper on what he saw and learned about wall papers, from
 which we make thls extract:
 IL is one of the great advantages that pa.
 per-hangings have over other forms of mural decoration, that design may be struck of in almost numberess colors and combination of color. A design that offends customer in
 one color may be entirely 10 his liking, may even excite hls admn ation, in rnother. Tho manufacturers ID de it point to please every
 taste while seeing to it that every design and every combination of tints is really artistic.
 While, as we have sad, much of the best
 work is still imported, American manufac. turers are making commendaule efforts which nave not been fruitless. to reduce ss desira. Dle hangiugs as any made abroad. These "ffnrts and this liberal policy, reinforced In relations with the purchaslng public ny the 'nterprise and taste oi houses like that of art, Merriam & Co., cannot fail of soon ,!acinr p per hangings among the most inn portant of American art products.

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC
FRENCH ASSEMBLY AFTER CHEAP EARR

London, March "a dispatch from Paris
says that the recent vote in the chamber of
deputies, IN favor of conclusion of an agree
mem with the railway companies by which
the members OF the chambers would have the
right to travel anywhere in France on payment
OF one hundred and twenty-five francs year
has created very unfavorable comment. A
private person would have to pay twelve thou
sand and nine hundred francs for similar
privilege. 1t is presumed that the railroad
companies expect some legislative favors, in
consideration for doing this dead-head busi-
ness. There is also a revival Of the move
ment for increasing the salaries of members of
the chamber of deputies to 1900 francs per
year. A deputation on the subject waited
upon De Frycenct president of the council,
yesterday, and he is said to favor the project.

were prearranged between him and general

ter is to embroil matters to such degree as
to create an opportunity for him to offer his
services to the car as minister of foreign af-
fairs in order TO straighten them.

A Well Conducted Institution

The excellent manner in which our street
railway is conducted, illicits general remark
on the part of strangers from all parts OF the
country. During all the bad weather this
winter there was but one momentary delay OF
the cars that happened on the coolest morn
ing, when the car wheels were found frozen
up and had to be looSened before they could
be moved.
The cars are kept in splendid order and al
ways look as good as new, the track is better
than most tracks in the country, notwithstand-
ing the muddy streets, while the stock, some
seventy head of Texas or Mexican mules, look
fat and we'll kept, and there has not been one
on the sick list this winter. But the wonder
of all is, that these mules are driven without
whip, and are the quickest most spirited ami
mails driven in street cars in the United
States.
An old gentleman, stranger here from
Philadelphia, stepped into Col. Belknap's
stables at the depot, the other day, and began
to ask questions, and was perfectly astounded
at the information he received, about the care
of the stock, the manner of building cars, etc.,
and turning to Col. Belknap, paid him the
compliment that it was the best conducted
street car line in the Union, and the only one
run with mules and the mules driven without
whips. This absence of whipping is the
whole secret of the Co.'s. success, and the
animals are treated with the greatest of kind
ness and any exhibition of ill-treatment costs
an employee his place Immediately. Kindness
and humanity pays, and our street railroad
will compare favorably with any in the Union

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

In the senate yesterday Farley pre-
sented and had read memorial from
the citizens of California reciting the
arrest and Imprisonment blythe British
government, without just cause, of
Daniel M. Sweeney, citizen of the
United States, and late resident of
California, while he was peaceably So
journing in Ireland. He also submit
ted resolution narrating the alleged
facts, and instructing the secretary of
state to ascertain the cause for the i'm
prlsonment and report at as early
day as possible.
Adopted without objection.
The liquor traffic bill discussed.
The anti-Chlnese bill passed.
In the house, $4,000 were appro-
prlated for sugar experiments, and
$1,000 to investigate the tree question.
Kelly tried to get in his bill relating
to expectation of tobacco.
More tariff discussion.
Finally, the agricultural bill was read
by sections, and the amendments pro-
viding fer the procuring of statistics
relative to the manufacture and expor-
tatlon of oleomargine, and providing
that the agricultural reports shall give
full statement showing the freight
charges for the chief agricultural pro-
ducts on the principal lines of railways
and river routes to the principal mark
cts of the United States, were adopted.
Money, of Mississippi, offered an
amendment leaving the distribution of
seeds, plants, etc, to the discretion of
the commissioner of agriculture. This
gave rise to long and undressing
discussion, nearly all the speakers ia
vorlng the amendment, though Speer,
of Georgia, Muldrom, of Mississippi,
and Talbot, of Maryland, opposed it
on the ground that the members of
congress could, better than the COM
missioner of agriculture, know to
whom seeds should be distributed.
The amendment was finally rejected,
and the quota of seeds to be supplied
to members was increased from one
half to two-thirds.
The Texas veteran board meet at
Austin on the 18th of April next.
The floods from the Mississippi have
not abated yet; in fact, it seems that
there is danger Of greater disaster than
has yet occurred; at Vicksburg, yester-
day, the guage read is feet; this is the
highest water since 1874.

The New Cement.

We called at the Alamo cement company's
office, and had an interview with their cour-
teous manager, Mr.. Kalteyer. While there
we saw piece of common sand cement FL
days old, manufactured by the company, test
ed under tensil weight, and it bore a strain OF
200 pounds before it broke. The same sam
pie would bear a crushing weight equal to
1906 pounds, and is said to be the finest of its
grade in the country.
We shall have occasion to write more fully
on this cement question as applied to its gen.
eral purpose, which will, we think, show that
the quality Of cements produced in our local
works is second to none in the world.
