SHADDY CLoTH.-Almost every parlor GEN.
tre-table is osvered in winter by woolen table
cover. Piano fortes are often protected by
beautiful, soft highly colored printed woolen
covers. Do our female readers know whence
come these beautiful articles, on which fair
hands are often laid, for contrast, and over
which bright eyes linger lovingly? They are
made of old woolen rags, the veriest refuse of
old wool, and the fragments Of old greasy,
filthy beggars' rags, which have refused to hang
together on a tramper's limbs and would, a
few years back have been cast out to rot on a
manure heap. But skill has advanced, until
now, these woolen rags, saturated with small
pox miasma OF burrowed in by the propagators
of cutaneous annoyance, as they often are,
carefully collected from all parts of the British
Kingdom and conveyed to Dewsbury, the GEN.
tire OF the Sndduy trade, ii is called, and there
after being subjected to various processes and
torn by powerful machinery into the original
condition of wool, are again respun, sometimes
with mixture of fresh wool and sometimes
without, and made into shaddy cloth. Former
ly shaddy was used only for padding bnt now
piano covers, &c. The army and navy of her
Majesty of England, are clothed principally in
this shaddy or in other words in beggars' rags
respun. There are few of us who have not at
this moment, more or less of these respun rags
on our persons. Let US hope that the steam
was hot, and the chemicals powerful, by which
the rags were purged of their former iniquities.
The shaddy trade is closely analogous to the
paper manufacture 1t is one of the greatest
triumphs modern art, and betokens the advance
of civilization. The utilization of refuse, as in
China and Japan, is one of the most salient fea-
lures of an economical, refined and thoughtful
race, as contrasted with the spendthrift habits
of North American Indian for instance. We
trust fair readers will not be repealed by our
disclosures of the origin of some of the articles
they daily handle; the sshaddy trade is great
tance. The manufacture is very active in sum-
mer, preparing for the winter sales but is al
most dormant through the winter, as summer
10 bad time to dispose of shaddy.-Hartford
Courdnt
