SENATOR FRYE has introduced bill

SENATOR FRYE has introduced a bill
to encourage the revival of the Ameri-
can merchant marine by means of sub
sides for carrying our mails between the
United States and foreign countries. In
this country prejudice has undoubt-
edly existed for many years against the
policy of granting subsidies by way OF
bounties to ocean going vessels. Subsi-
dies have been granted by Congress in
cveral instances to steamship lines, but
rom causes not necessary TO enter into
here the results were not such that the
continued good will of the law making
power was retained in favor of the sys-
tenn. 1t is not easy to see how we are
tc build up steam merchant marine
equal to that of the other seafarine
nations unless we are prepared to offer
a government support equal to that ex-
tended by foreign nations to their own
lines. Even if we could, by legislation,
bring about a state of affairs under
which a steamer could be constructed
as cheaply in all respects upon the
Delaware Or the Potomac as upon the
Clyde, it is obvious that our steamer
would still be at disadvantage IL
competing with the subsidized foreign
steamer.

Mr.. HENDRICKS has made another
call upon Mr.. Cleveland. The mod
esty of his present mission is in striking
contrast with the assurance of his prior
trip. Then he proposed to take charge
of the next administration. Now his
labor of love is to urge Mcdonald for
cabinet position. AS Mr.. Hendricks
is reported to have gone away satisfied,
it is safe to assume that Mcdonald will
not be there when Cleveland makes up
his Jewels.

their own newspapers, perfumery, pray
er books, poker decks, jack knives, and
other sundry articles for which this al
lowance is usually expended. Members
have, perhaps, legal right to expend
their allowance in any manner they
choose, but it would be wisdom on

The rejoicing in England over the
shooting of Rosa appears little ridic-
ulous. Public belief in this country has
never singled him out as a dangerous
man to England. 1t has rather consid-
cred him to be one who was "doing
real well'' by drawing a comfortable
support from servant. girls and over
enthusiastic Hibernians whom his mys-
terious professions and dramatic secrecy
deluded into the belief that some fine
day he would drag the hated isle OF
Great Britain out to sea and dump it
in deep water, to the great glory and
comfort of Ireland. 1t is very doubt
full if he has ever been trusted by or
had any real nowledge Of the move

SENATOR GORMAN AT ALBANY.
Discussing Inauguration Arrangement,
With the President Elect.


United States Senator 4. P. German,
of Maryland, arrived at Albany on last
Sunday morning at an early hour, and
spent nearly the entire day at the resi-
dence of Ex-Governor Cleveland, The
details of the Inauguration being almost
exclusively under the management of
MIR. German, he called to ascertain from
Mr.. Cleveland whether he had any ar
rangements OF his own to consummate
and to inform the President elect what
had been done.
Mr.. Cleveland will stop at the Ar
lington House in Washington. He will
leave Albany probably on the ed of
March and arrive the lay before the in
auguration. There will be no ceremon-
les on his arrival On the day of the
Inauguration the procession will halt at
the Arlington and receive the President
elect, who will enter his carriage and be
escorted to the Capitol, from the east
portico of which, after having taken the
oath of office, he will deliver his inau-
gural address. President Cleveland will
then be escorted to the White House,

PHILADELPHIA, February 2, 1855.

Carpets have taken adown-
ward lurch. Ingram tumbles;
Tapestry tumbles to Ingram;
Brussels to Tapestry; Velvet
to Tapestry; Moquette below
Brussels; Smyrna almost to
Tapestry.
People who we're going to
buy one are thinking of the
next grade higher. The new
prices point to different car
pets or less expense. Which
shall it be? They need to
know about the carpets of
which they are thinking now
as much is they know
about those they we're going
to buy before.
There is reason, therefore,
for putting in print the COM
monest facts about we'll
known carpets.
Tapestry looks like Brus-
sells, as every body knows.
There are several grades of
it. Few can distinguish one
from another. Certain
makes command the highest
prices, partly because Of the
difficulty of judging the
grades. But, as buyers gen
orally have no means of
knowing one make from
another, they have to trust
the seller. Buying Tapestry,
then, is apt to be an act of
confidence. We propose to
make it less SO. So is buy
ing Brussels. We propose
to make it safer. And the
same of the others.
What is Tapestry carpet?
What is Brussels F? One is a
copy of the other. Tapestry
costs about two-thirds as
much as Brussels; and, on
the floor, there is very little
difference between them.
The frame work of both is
hard inhexible cotton and
jute. If you take a bit of
each and pull the woolen
yarn all out, there is left, of
the Brussels, the framework
that holds it together and
gives it stiffness; it looks
like a sieve, with meshes
about zen to the inch. Of
the Tapestry more is left.
When the wool is drawn
out of the face, the back is
solid with jute. Pull out this
solid back of jute, and only
the framework is left ; the
same as the framework of
Brussels. The difference be-
tween the stuhs of Brussels
and Tapestry, then, is jute in
the place of a part of the
wool.
The face of Brussels and
Tapestry, both, is a mass of
loops of colored woolen yarn
held fast by the hidden frame
work of cotton and jute be-
low; and the colors form the
carpets figure. The car
pets goodness as to dur
ability depends on the max
ing, of course, but main
ly on the wool in the loops
and what is under the loops.
One judges Tapestry by the
number of loops to the inch.
The best has ten; the poor
est down to six. Turn it
over, and look at the back.
The larger the mesh in the
framework, the more sparse
the loops and the wool on
the face.
What is under the face?
What effect does it have?
The loops on the face of
Brussels are backed by wool
below. The loops on the face
of Tapestry are backed by
jute. Wool is soft, and jute
is hard. The wool on the
face, of course, wears longer
against a back of yielding
wool than against a back of
unyielding jute. So Brussels
wears longer than Tapestry.
How much longer? By as
much as the back Of wool
is gentler to the trampled
loops than jute SO much;

object in using wool instead
OF Jute is only to make a sof-
ter bottom to wear against.
The luxurious softness one
feels with the foot comes
only of carpet-lining.
This back of wool in
Brussels has another conse-
quence. 1t is the source Of
colors to make the carpets
pattern. 1t consists, or
rather the wool of the Brus-
sells carpet consists, of
several yarns of different
colors lying side by side in
little bundles. At every
tenth-of-an-inch or so, one
out of the bundle of colored
yarns is looped above; and
the yarn that is taken to
form the loop is the yarn Of
the color the pattern re-
qulres just there. Now that
IS the whole Of the Brussels
fabric.
The Tapestry colors are
printed one after another on
one continuous yarn.
There's nothing more won-
derful. Loops are made on
the yarn, one after another ;
the colors are gagged to
form the pattern as the loops
are made! Unravel a bit Of
Tapestry, and watch the
loops as they disappear.
The pattern is on the yarn,
but three times longer
Now, by taking the pattern
out, you see how it got in.
The yarn was printed. The
pattern enlarged three-fold
was printed on the yarn it.
self; and, when the yarn is
looped in the weaving, the
pattern appears Incredible
but true!
And now you see why the
pattern is sharp, exact, in
Brussels; and a little shady,
inexact, in Tapestry. There
is no other difference in look
between the two.
The grades of Brussels:
"fve-frame," "four-frame,"
etc.-Not to go into difficult
reading, "hve:frame" means
that the bundles consist of
five yarns; "four-frame
means four yarns; and SO
on. The number of frames"
is the proportion Of wool in
the carpet, its body, close
ness, weight and softness-
value and durability.
"Five-frame" Brussels
proper has its bundles Of
five woolen yarns, and these
yarns treble-hfteen yarns
in a bundle; but nobody
makes it so. The nearest
approach to that standard is
found in the best makes.
There is hve-frame" Brus-
sells with under threads of
jute in place of wool; a sort
of smongrel Brussels-and-
Tapestry. But we need not
60 into all the adulterations.
We have set forth these
two staple carpet-fabrics as
fairly and fully as we can in
brief. You will buy the
safer if you have read with
care, especially after a little
carpet-dissecting. What we
have told is by no means all
there is to tell. 1t is enough
to sharpen your eyes and
guide your judgment; to
make you comparatively in
dependent of names and
phrases.

SPEAKER CARLISLE'S VISIT.

Speaker Carlisle arrived at Washing
ton late last Sunday night from New
York. He is as reticent as Mr.. Randall
about his visit to President elect Cleve-
land, and the public men are disappont-
ed. The good-natured Speaker is much
more given to talk than others of his
class, though he is usually discreet If
what he says. A report from Albany
says that during the conference the
Speaker undertook to offer some sug-
gestions as to having the tariff reformers
well represented in the Cabinet, which
were not graciously received by the
President-elect. In fact, it is said that
Mr.. Cleveland sharply cross examined
Mr.. Carlisle as to what good the tarlf
reformers had accomplished for the
party, intimating that he was not inform
ed on the point. But this is a mere re-
port and is probably not correct. The
stronger probability is that the confer,
ence was not much beyond an introduo.

Pure sweet cider that is arrested in the
process of fermentation before it becomes
acetic acid or even alcohol, and with car
bonic acid gas worked out, is one of the
most delightful beverages. The Farm,
Field and Fireside recommends the fol-
lowing scientific method of treating cider
to preserve its sweetness. When the
saccharine matters by fermentation are
being converted to alcohol, if a ben. tube
be inserted air tight into the bung, with
the other end in pail of water, to al
low the carbonic acid gas evolved to pass
off without admitting any air iuto the
barrel, beverage will be obtained that
is fit nectar for the gods.
A handy way is to fill your cask nearly
up to the wooden faucet when the cask
is rolled so the bung is down. Get a
common rubber tube and slip it over the
end of the plug in the faucet, with the
plug SO the cider can have communica-
tion with tie pail. After the water
ceases to bubble. bottle or store away.
There is big row in the Democratic

Republican otfice-holders contributing to
