How "SHoDDY" IS MADE.-Woolen rags are
now worth So and $40 per tun for making
cloth. Fine black scraps are worth Sl00 to
$3.50 per tun. The "shoddy" manufacturer
passes them through rag machine, which
tears the rags to WOOL and cleans it of dust.
saturated with oil or milk, and mixed with
new wool in as large proportion as posi-
BILE. White "shoddy" is used in blankets
and light colored goods, and the dark de.
scriptions for coarse cloJh, carpets, &c. The
'shoddy" is the product of soft wooens,
but the hard or black cloths when treated
in similar manner, produce "mungo," which
is used extensively in superiine cloths, which

in the cloth of coat will soon rub out the
cloth and accumulate between it and the
lining. In New York there are six "shoddy"
mills, mostly on the North River.

MAKING PAPER FROM Corn LEAvEs.-Pa-
per, said in many respects to be superior to
that made from rags, is now manufactured
in Germany from the leaves of Indian corn.
The process is applied at the present moment
on very large scale at the imperiA manu-
facture of Schlogelmuhle, near Glonitz, in
Lower Austria. Although the machinery
of the establishment was constructed for
working rags, and is not at all adapted to
the kind of preparation that corn leaves re-
quire, the essay which has been made has
had a prodigious success. The paper OBJ.
tained leaves nothing to be desired in
strength, homogeneity, polish and whiteness.
The conversion of the fibers of maize into
paper pulp is also a simpler process than that
employed in working rags, and consequently
a cheaper one. The German papers speak
very highly of the discovery, and predict
tuat the price of paper will be materially re-
duced by it. The war has affected the news
papers of the United States 80 seriously that
we see numbers of them have endeavored TO
lessen the cost of publication by using straw
paper.

SUPPLYING FUEL TO FURNAcEs.-An i'm
proved plan has been brought forward for
supplying the fuel of furnaces with sup.
porters OF combustion. The invention con-
sis,s essentially in mixing oxygen gas or
atmospheric air-or oxygen gas with atmos-
pheric air-with the vapor or steam, when
the steam is passed into or through ignited
carbonaceous matter, for the purpose of eff
iecting the decomposition of the steam, and
obtaining therefrom hydrogen gas or car
buIetted hydrogen gas and carbonic oxyd
gas such gases and mixture of gases being
intended to be applied in generating heat by
any ordinary or other application thereof
The addition to the steam of the oxygen gas
mixed with atmospheric air is made in order
to facilitate the decomposition of the steam,
through the greater heat developed by means
of the action of the oxygen in contact with
the steam and the carboneaeeous matter.
This method has been adopted with success
in several establishments.

BENToN's MoTHER.-How touching the tri-
butte of Hon. T. H. Benton to his mothers
influence:
Ny mother asked me never to use tobacco.
l have never used it from that time to the
present day. She asked me not to game, and
l can not tell who is winning and who is
losing in games that can be played, She
admonished me, too, against hard drinking /;
and whatever capacity for endurance / have
at present, and whatever usefulness / may
attain in life, have attributed to having
complied with her pious and correct wishes.
When / was seven years Of age she asked
me not to drink, and made resolution OF
total abstinence at time when l was sole
constituent member of my own body; and
that have adhered to it through all time,
owe to my mother"

PICKET CoURTEsIEs.-A night or two age
German picket-guard stationed outside of
Arlington Hights heard their own language
spok en- by the rebel scouts opposite them. A
few words were interchanged, and the par
ties on both sides, finding themselves fellow
countrymen, proceeded to meet each other in
perfect confidence. So well pleased were
they with their interview that, after posting
Sufficient number Of guards along the pre-
seIihed lines, the majority returned TO the
neutral neutral ground, and building a fire, passed
HaTmest and most amicable terms.

PHoToGRAPHfNG CoLoR.-A short paper, re-
Gently published by Sir John HersChel, on
this subject, contains some matters of inter-
est. The author expresses his firm belief
at the problem will one day be solved; and
mentions a Photographic in his own possession,
in which green foliage is Enthusiastically dis
tinguished as green from the sepia tints OF
other portions Of the picture. He considers
IL important, in attempts to obtain color, that
the not luminous rays should be cut off,
which can be done by quinine. In the ab-
sence of perfect, positive photography, he
reminds experimenters that they must work
through the intervention of a negative; and
that they ought not to expect this negative
to be colored, either as the objects are, or
with their complementary colors, in order to
yield colored picture by the process of pho
tographic painting. The effect of colors in
the object would thus be to convert the mega
tive into absorbent media, which would re-
produce the colors from whose action they
were derived.

GENERAL WASHINGTON, during the Reyo-
lutionary War, wrote to Governor Trumbull
of Connecticut, suggesting the seizure of
all persons who were hostile to the cause of
the Colonies. AS his words may have q
present application, we quote them here.
They are as follows: "Would it not be
prudent to seize those Tories who have
been, are, and we know will be active
preying upon the vitals of their country be
suffered to stalk about while we know they
will do us every mischief in their power p

THR subscription to the national loan in
Pittsburg has exhibited some striking cases
of patriotism, worthy of more general imita-
tion.
On Monday an old man from Ohio called
at the office, TO subscribe the proceeds of his
last crop, just harvested, with all he could
collect together, $780, remarking "This is
all could raise; ! have a small farm and
some stock i the Government requires more
/ will sell my farm and all have, and bring
you the proceeds.n
An old clergyman, from Mahoning County,
Ohio, came seventy miles to give his mite,
promising TO take all the time allowed to
raise more, and said; "If can get $50 more
1 will bring it" The subscriptions now
amount 10 about 100000.

4 NARRATIVE BY GIN. BEAUBE-


The Virginia correspondent Of tho New Or

dinner party to Gen. Beauregard, from which we
extract the following, stating that his report Of
the remarks Of Gen. B. is undoubtedly correct:
Another incident Of this entertainment was

Beauregard related to me company the motives
which led 70 its adoption and as the recital en-
braces a thrilling portion Of the eventtUl battle
Of Manassas, I shall eDdeavor to reproduce it, as
nearly as possible, in the genorals own words
On the 2Ist July, at about halfpast o'clock,

already within our grasp. In fact, up to that
moment. l had never wavered iD the conviction
that triumph must crown our arms Nor was
