From this glance st the political field, you can easily reeive that there is little disseusion in tie Union ranks in this State. The contest for United States Senator will create excitement but no division. Where there is so much barmouy on principle, there is littly danger of di- vision about individuals.

Miss Reem secured thicommission by 8 lovg Winter's work in lobbying. 1t bes bu kept very secret, and was known noth- ing about by thosere who Keep their ears vory wide open. No doubt, she ander friends knew very well that it was not likely to meet muchyor ot the bands of the press if once such an sbsurd propositi got abrosd. And thus, instead of . gress throwing thehole matter open to the knowledge of all our artists, inviting competition, or, what would bave been perfectly proper, cdng opon some well known man to make the stadue, it i# give sway like s cake to s child.

PAPER COLLANS AND CUFES, THRIR USHS, VALUE, AND ADAPTATJON—THE PROCASS UNDER WHICH THE PAPER PASSES—HOW THE PAPER I8 DRIED—THE CUTTING-MACHINE—TIE APPAREST STITCHING PROCESS—ITS FINAL COM- PLITION, The use of paper collars and cuffs has become veyy al among geutlemen; and ladies are also beginning to use them to u great extent. Tn hot weather, such us we bave at present, whon the human frame perspires most freely, and wlheu an ordisary collar droops and withers into the consist enoy of 8 wet napkin or towel, it may be o good thiug to know that, with a very little trouble, one may always sppear with s good, nest, and clean collar, comfortable to wear, and making o decent appearance, with a cool look, even in this torrid weather | Notwithstanding the thonsands of both sexes who wear paper collars, thers are probably bat lew individuals who, ot directly ioterested in the trade, have any idea of | the wanner tn which they are made, aud of the immeuse quantity used. Paper collars were first worn by negro minstrels. and the first one of which there is any record was worn by the venera- ble ** Daddy Rice,” one of the fathers of negro minstrelsy, who guve up thoe ghost only & very few years siuce. Bome enterprising Yankee, soeing them in some public exhi- bitions, cenceived the ides of introducing them juto private life, and, as usual, bis enterprising proclivities succeeded. Im- spon improvoment has been made in paper.collars, I improvement s patent has been obtained. These 5. however, with one or two exceptions, are of no se- st, {or the reason that ** Daddy Rice,” and otber minstrels, who wore them 23 and 30 years ago, had no patent for them, and thus any one was at liberty to wear, make, buy, sell, or improve upou the collars thas introduced. The ** patent ” is & dodge. & mere fiction of the trade, and is only Introduced to deter others from entering on the like business. Many of these sham patents have been infringed upon. but a8 yet 1o action has been taken at law to prevent such infriogements. How- ever, the collar, whick introduced s slip of muslin in its con- struction is a noteble exception to this rule, and is clearly and explicitly protected by these letters patent. The ‘various processes under which the paper passes, and those Which each sheet undergoes, before finally turned out s perfect collar, sre exceedingly interesting. The paper used is expressly manufactured for the purpose; for the best collars, and best linen stock isused; and varies in weight t0 150 pounds to the ream, according to the quality of the collar desired to be produced. The first process’ to which the paper,fdesigned for collar making, Is subjected, 18 thas of sfzing. 'Thie paper is spread out apon the table, aud » thick coat of sizing is spread evenly over its sarface Ly & young women, Who uses a fine brush for that purpose, Sizing is a glatizous substance, made of Fronch chalk, gluo or gum, aud white wax. When sz unusually fine pate gloss is dosired to be produced, o little arsenic is added to the | ©0 sizing, so littio an to be quite uninjurious, and in the mageiac- ture of what are known as ** perspiratiou proof collars,” solu- tion of India rubber is lutroduced. After being properly sized, the sheets are hung up to dry previous to being sent to the embossing machive. This mackise is simply three beavy irou rollers, revolving upon each other with great speed, and producing s great amount of frie tion. The center.and largest roller is covered with o thick smooth soft pad, made of cottor. Through this great macki the sized sheets are passed,and they come out in ahighly glased shiping condition. So rapidly are the revolutions made by thess friction rollers, and so great the friction produced, that they become hewted to s degree, which forbids the layiog ou of “The sheets aro now ready for the outting machive. A sbarp cuttiog ki of the exact shape aud size of the col- lar-pattern, is iugerted in the machine, and ten ora dosen sheots of the prepared paper fed beneath it. The knife de- soends with great foroe, cutting through the paper, and bring- fug out as wany perfootly cut collars as there are abeets of paper. The same wnchice is used for cutting all sizes of ool lars, and also cuffs, but for caoh new pattern o new kuife must be specially made. The collars are sow in the rough. They bave ceased to bo simply sheets of paper, and a few more touches will fit them for use. Tho stitching process is that of giving the eollar an appa- rent stitching ornamentation around the edges. For this pur- pose an embosser is nsed, This tool is made the exact shape aud size of (he obllar, which stamps dots along the edges of tbe collar, rendering a good lmitation of stitehing-work. This is plaeed in o light npright mackine, which rises and falls very rapidly. A gif sits by, and every time the tool s raised sho alips a plain collar under, and as it rises she with draws it, nlcely * stitohed,” and fuserts avother. In the factory visited there were 20 of these machines, all {0 simultaneous operation, and each tended by an interesting little woman, To thus feed through the machine 10,000 collars per diem is considered & fair day's work for anoperator. The collar now passes to the button-boling process. Three upright little shafts contain each o little knife, made the sise of the button-hole, the sdafts being'so adjusted as to cut ous hole in the middle of the coilar, aud one ot each end. These work rapidly up and down, e girl “ feoding” the collars throngh it at the rate of 1,000 an Lour. From this mackine, the collar goes to the folder. This i still another mackiné, which, as rapidly as the girl can “feed” t, seizes the collar, and by & sort of “Jack-knife" operstion, folds - {s over at the proper place, as some gentlemen are wons 0 have thetr collars “tarsed down,” over their cravats. Still another girl “feeds’ it through another littie machine, where s slight littlo roller preases lightly exactly upon the fold, press- ing it down smootbly and evenly, In this machine a little brass tongue inacrts itself between the fulds of the collar, so that 1t shall ot bo preased down too tightly, but have epace enough to admit the cravat between the folds withous wrink- livg.
