HOW FLOOR OIL-CLOTH Is
MADE.

In making floor oil-cloth the process
requires almost as many manipulators
III the way Of painting and POLISHING ne
a fine carriage body. The BODY of ali
Eoor oll-cloth is burlap. The material
Is first sized, which is done by treating
1t to a saturatiOn of dissolved glue. If
passes them through fifteen heated wire
rollers, which not only dries it. but
presses the glue water into the porous
material, and removes all ineoiaIities
OF surface. 1t then passes to the paint
rooms to receive its first and many
subsequent coats paint, the principal
ingredient OfWhich is Ochre.
Inc paint Is literally put on. and the
clOth, after passing under a roller TO
press out supertluOus paint, is run on
long racks through a room i'm which
are heated steam pipes. After remain
ing on the racks a prescribed number
OF hours the cloth is run through ma
chine where it is pumice-stOned down
10 a perfect smOOthness. 1t then re-
celves a second coat of paint. and is
again pumice-stOned, and so on until
the requisite number of coats are mt
on both sides. The well-prepared ma
terlal now goes into the hands of the
printer.
This work is all done by hand. and it
requires considerable experience on the
part Of the wOrkmen to make a good
JOB. Every color requires a separate
impression, the blocks in the hands Of
the workmen being about eight inches
square, and great care must be taken
mat InaI the block is placed in the proper
place, and hairs breath displacement
would show also that the proper
blocks are taken up in their order
After being well dried in steam heated
chambers, the now nearly finished
piece of goods goes to the varnish ma
chine, where a number of arms with
brushes attached, and worked almost
IN the exact imitation of a painters
are passed over 1t, giving it a comnIetn
and evenly distributed coat. when after
drying and trimming, the article is
ready for market. Yonkers Statesman

OF tho four gentlemen nominated for for

an applicant, ex-senator Pendleton, and he
did not get the place he wanted, which was
the French mission, and for which all the
Senators had recommended him. Mr..
Phelps is fellow townsman of Senator Ed

an able lawyer and editor, and is said to be

gentlemen selected will reflect credit upon
their country. Gen. Jackson, who goes to
Mexico, is highly respected citizen of
Georgia. Mr.. PendIeton's nomination was
confirmed by the Senate to-day without the
formality of referring it to committee, and
without opposition.
