WOMAN’'S PAGFE, R THE KVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, N0 77 RARREL UPHOLSTERY 18 USED FUR Barrel upholstery is the last word in stvle of furniture covering. The term spplies to the method of work and not 1o the type of design or the kind of | textile. Tt is true that some of the fabrics are made to sult the style of work. so that the d sppears to Dbest. advantage when on the furniture. Sometimes several sections so put on complete & pattern rather than each seetion being complete in itself. It is easy to undersiand rhe reason for ihe name as there js a marked re- semblance to barrel staves in the ap. pearance of the buiging finished work, which follows the present vogue for quilting. Each lengthwise section of stitehing is padded and richly rounded out. The padding may be down feath- ers, hair, floss or anv of the modern turniture filling ‘materials. The pad- ling determines the luxury of the up- holstery, for it supplies the comfort of the eovering for the springs. This method of covering furniture indicates a fendency io revert 1o the fine old-time button and pleated up- holstery which was an apex of uphol- atery eraftsmanship.

CRAIG. July 6, 1866.—Col. Oden Bowie, presi- dent of the Baltimore & Potomac Rail- road Co., bas issued a call for the pay- ment of $1 per share of the capital stock of the company for the purpose of locating the new railroad so as fo enable it to be placed under contract speedily. He states that the gurvey for the road is now being completed. A Dbill has been introduced in Con- gress at the present session authorix- | ing the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad to extend a lateral branch within the limits of the District of Columbia to the City of Washington. It has passed the House and is pending in the Senate. 1t is expected that there will be sharp sontest over this measure in the Sen- ate, as it will probably be vigorously | opposed by those interested in the‘ Washington branch of the Baltimore & | Ohio Railroad. This road pays A capi- tation tax of 20 per cent on its gross| receipts for passenger travel over the | Washington branch, a tax so heavy as to forbid any prospect of competition with a parallel road free from such burden. ! The new road, by its proposed branch | connection with this city, would possess | all the advantages of the present Balti- | more & Ohio route, besides that of | shortening the distance four or five | miles. Several wealthy capitalists, im- | pressed with a conviction that receipts | from Washington travel alone would | pay & handsome revenue on the cost of the whole railroad, have offered to| build it as soon as the pending bill is passed. The people of the lower | counties of Maryland are anxiously | awaiting final action by Congress. | Surveys were de for the Baltimore & Potomac Railfoad by Gen. Trimble | prior to the recent Civil War. A re- survey of the main stem and proposed | ‘Washington lates line was recently commenced and is now being pushed | forward. Even if Congress should suthorize the proposed Washington branch. it is expected that legal obstacles will be, placed in the way of a speedy building | of the branch.
