SHoDDY.-The Hartford Conn Post
publishes an article on "Shoddy," which,
it says, "comes from one of the first bust.
ness men in Connecticut" We quote from
it the following:
"What is shoddy? Shoddy is old worn
out uufelled wooden goods, made of slack
twisted yarn, picked to pieces by machine
ry specially adapted to the purpose. 1t is
mixed with wool of longer fibre and staple,
and when carded together can be finer or
coarse., according to the proportion it bears
to the new wool making the compound. No
small per centage of shoddy can be thus
mixed with new wool and made into yarn
fit for either warp or woof, or yarn for knit
ting purposes. Mungo is another name for
old and worn out fine felted goods and
broad cloth clothes, picked to pieces in the
same manner. 1t is the finer article, and
when properly prepared can be worked into
the finest black cloths to be found in the
market. A very large proportion of all the
satinet in the market is more or less i'm:
with shoddy. The same may be
said of hosiery and stockinet goods. It is
consequently worn by the many, and those
who do not get it on in one form or another
ae the favored few" ..,-, --..s s:-

TRUE GRIr.-The Knoxville Rsgiste,
relates the following incident: -,

relates the following incident: 4 -
When the Yankees were at Rodgersville,
Tennessee, short time since, they arrested
a shoe maker who ID well known as 'sOld
Harry" and confined him in the guard
house. ? His wife, as clever and industrious
awoman asiever lived, hasborne him ten
likely saas, The worthy couple have been
F'pegging away" for many years to raise
their children properly, and hence they have
accumulated but little Of this worlds goods.
Mrs. Harry called upon her husband atthe
guard room, where he was surrounded by
the officer of the day and guard. She, mp
on seeing her liege lord, asked him, $50
you arein here, are you?" Harry replied
affrmatively. "Well, you're not going to
take the oath, are your asked she, With
flushed cheeks. "No, I've no notion of it,"
Harry, with clenohed teeth and a
defiant air. "I'd rather see your last end
see you rot first, than hear Of you taking
that oath. can take care ofeths boys,1
said Mrs. Harry. ..a s.s = q z4
The officer of the day then ordered her
away, telling her that her language was in
sulting to him and his men. Stepping back
with erect form and noble mein, the heroic
woman shook her hand in his face, and told
him that she vas raising ten fine boys to
hate and fight such despicable wretohes IS
be and his men were to the bitter end.

The LADIES OF NEW ORLEANs.-A
Confederate officer lately escaped from New
Orleans, says of the ladies': "Their spirit
is yet unsubdued, and it is their glory that
they-the only foes that Butler ever dared
encounter-defeated the Beast, and that he
and his minions have never recovered from
the wounds Of stinging contempt which the
women of New Orleans inflicted on them,
and under which they still writhe. The
Yankees and their few adherents, ara exiles
from good society; no one of them has ever
gained entrance into decent family, except
when he went officially to insult lady or
steal something"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1864-01-13

BEAUT1FUL.-The following is INSTRUCT
i've, as showing what acceptable prayer is,
and what is the just Interpretation Of its
model, our Lords Prayer: ,95stS ~
TO watch without prayer, is toapresums
upon our own strength; to pray without
Watching, is to presume upon the face Of
God. The Lords Prayer is the ruleof our
duty and desires: We are engaged by every
petition to cooperate and concur withDivinc
Grace, to obtain what we pray for. Astreasn
preserves its crystal clearness by continual
running; if'its course be stopped, It will
ssagnate and putrify. The purity.of the
soul is preserved by the continual exercise
of habitual grace. = ,l:yisf .a.sz. -

GEN. BRACES REpoRTs.-The Rich.
mond correspondent of the Mobile Register,
writing Dec. Is, says Gen. Bragg's reports
of the battles of Chickamauga, Lookout
Mountain, and Missionary Ridge, baVe been
received. A gentleman who was much
prejudiced against him, tells me the perusal
of these reports, which are written with his
own hand and not by his Adjutant, has
given him much more favorable opinion
of him, both in an intellectual and military
point of view. They are eminently clear
and concise, and as literary compositions
are far superior to the reports Of other
Generals. The barren results of the victo.
ry at Chickamauga he attributes to Gen. D.
b. Hill, and the saving of the army from
annibilation after the battle of Missionary
Ridge, he says is due to Bates small but
brave brigade, which covered the retreatin
a most mastery style. The reports are be-
ing copied, preparatory to publication, SO
soon as Congress calls for them, and per-
haps before. ....... ...
