The papers contain, occasionally, articles in
which "Shaddy Cloth" is spoken of, and in
quiries are often made, what "Shaddy Cloth"
is. The following article will give the desired
information
SHADDY CLoTH.-Almost every parlor cen
tre-table is covered in winter by wooden ia
ble-cover. Piano fortes are often protected by
beautiful SOFT highly colored printed wooden
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 wooden rags, the veriest refuse of old
wool, and the fragments of old greasy filthy
beggars rags, which have refused to hang to-
gether on a tramper's limbs, and would few
years back, have been cast out to rot on a ma.
nure heap. But skill has advanced until now,
these wooden rags, saturated with small pox
miasma or burrowed in by the propagators of
cutaneouS annoyances, as they often are, are
carefully collected from all parts of the British
Kingdom, and conveyed to Dewsbury the CEN
tire of the shaddy trade as it is called and
there, after being subjected to various process
es and torn by powerful machinery into the
original condition of wool, are again re-spun,
sometimes with a mixture of fresh wool and
sometimes without, and made into shaddy
cloth. Formerly shaddy was used only
for padding but now is used not only for
padding for pilot and Petersham overcoats,
piano covers, &c. but the army and navy
of her Majesty of England are clothed princi-
pally 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 re-spun rags on our persons Let us
hope that the steam was hot and the chemical
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 of modern
art, and betokens the advance of civilization.
The utilization of refuse, as in China and Jap
an, is one Of the most salient features of an
economical, refined, and thoughtful race, as
contrasted with the spendthritt habits of
North American Indian, for instance We
trust our fair readers will not be repealed by
our disclosure of the origin of some of the ar
ticles they daily handle the shaddy trade is
great one daily, and is yearly advancing in
importance. The manufacture is very active
IN Summer preparing for the Winter sales
but it is almost dormant through the Winter,
as Summer is a bad time to dispose of shaddy.

The HORRORS OF STREET CRoss1NG.-The
most dangerous crossing in New York is on
Broadway, at the point where that great
thoroughtare receives the travel of the Bow
cry. The horrors of the middle passage and
the betweenities of Scyla and Charybdis are
nothing to the gauntlet one has to run who
happens to be on the wrong side of Broadway
at the designated locality. The most artful
dodger would find himself nonplussed, as he
should attempt to thread his way across amid
the various vehicles and animals who usually
hold the monopoly of the Russ pavement in
that quarter But, for ladies', there is kindly
provided a dandy, Broadway swell, " in police
mans uniform, Ia binding of "blue and gold"
so to speak, who makes it his business to es-
cort, from and to either side, the unprotected
females who require an infusion of nerve as,

REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENT.-The following
is an incident in the life of Col. Houghton of
Hunterdon county, N. j., the grandfather of
the late eminent Baptist minister, Rev. Spen-
Ger FL. Cone, d. ID. 1t was in Hopewell Bap-
fist Westinghouse, where Conant Cone and
Alice Houghton alike worshipped, and where
they were immersed that Joab Houghton re-
ceived the first news Of the battle of Lexing-
ton, and the defeat of.the Earl of Northumber-
land, the naughty descendant of the hero of
Chevy Chase, by the halfarmed yeomanry of
New England. Shilling the breathless messen-
ger, he sat quietly through the services, and
when they were ended passed out and mount
ing the great stone block in front of the meet.
ing-house, beckoned to the people to stop
Men and women paused to hear, curious to
know what so unusual a sequel to the service
of the day could mean. At the first words a
silence stern as death fell over all. The Sab
bath quiet of the hour and the place was deep
ened into soemnity. He told them all the
story of the cowardly murder at Lexington by
the royal troops the retreat Of Percy ; the
gathering of the children of the Pilgrims
around the beleagured hills of Boston. Then
pausing and looking over the silent crowd, he
said slowly "Men of New Jersey, the red
coats are numbering our brethren of New Eng
land. Who follows me to Boston 2" And
every man in that audience stepped out into a
line and answered, ZIP There was not a
coward nor a traitor in old Hopewell meeting
house that day.-Historical Magazine.

AS this gent manages to occupy a very
prominent position in the public eye, perhaps a
few words about his personnel may not be out
ofplace i'll this my weekly resume. He is known
among men by the name of Dodge, Ia most APP
propriate cognomen, to my notion, but Beau
Brummell himself could not dress more neatly
or strike more snowy series of attitudes
With his fine suit of blue cloth, variegated with
white cord down the legs Of his pantaloon-
cry, and with the azure of his coat plentifuIly
starred with hieoglyphical brass buttons, this
public protector OF female pedestrians, presents
most stunning appearance. His coat
collar is shrouded, not to say buried, be-
meath vast expanse of linen, Byronically ar
ranged-in which display Hutchinsonan oddi-
ty is put out of joint. His chest is expanded
to pointing pigeon proportions, and the breast
of his coat being left open, wide "wipe" floats
thereout upon the breeze. With graceful gal
lantry his arm encrcles the waists of the fair
candidates for his attentions and waving del
icate riding whip, as a warning to the crowd
ing Jehus, to keep their distance-the gallant
great heart leads his pilgrim procession in safe
ty to the other side. A digniied bow dismiss
es the cortege which has crossed, and return
train is arranged without delay to take the
back track. The whole performance has such
a serio-comic look that it attracts universal at
tention, and its complete exempliication of
spreadeagleism is ludicrous to the last degree.

TRAVELLING IN CIRcLE.-In a late num-
Der of your paper you state, in answer to some
correspondent, that you have no confidence in
the report that "when man is lost he will
travel in circle" In this you are certainly
mistaken; it is fact well known to all from
tiersmen, that, when persons are bewildered,
they frequently travel in a perfect circle, some
times keeping the same track until they make
a dozen equal rounds at other times making
the circle larger or smaller each time. 1t is
not by any means always the case when per-
son is lost; but it is so frequent that it is with
in the experience of every one who has been
much in the woods. In calm and cloudy
weather, and in a country of much sameness
of appearance, the best woodsmen get SO be-
wildered as to "take the circles" Persons not
accustomed to the woods will sometimes do
so when the sun is shining and a steady
breeze blowing. On the level or gulf prairies
of this country, on a calm, foggy morn
ing no man can travel without road. II is
an incident Of everyday occurrence in the
spring and fall seasons, that men are thus be-
Gained on the prairie as efiectually as are ships
at sea nor will compass mend the matter,
for it cannot be carried steadily enough to
keep its meridian, and the course it points
cannot be kept for fifty yards; If a man at.
tempts it, he will make a circle, and come
back to the place he started from. The circle
will be large or small generally, in proportion
to the density Of the fog--sometimes only
hundred yards in diameter; at others mile,
but seldom more The circles thus made are
perfect. This kind Of wandering seems to
arise from an attempt TO go straight course
when there is nothing to guide the senses, or
when the usual guides Of sun, wind, or the
