SHoDDY.-The Hartford Conn. Post publishes
an article on ''Shoddy," which, it says, q comes
from one of the first business men in Connecti-
cut" We quote from it the following:
What is shoddy? Shoddy is old, worn-out,
unlelted woolen goods, made of slack twisted
yarn, picked to pieces by machinery specially
adapted to the purpose. 1t is mixed with wool
OF longer fiber and staple, and when carded to-
gether can be spun finer coarser, according to
the proportion it bears to the wool making
the compound. No small portion of percentage
OF shoddy can be thus mixed with new wool and
made into yarn fit for either warp or woof, or
yarn Tor knitting purposes. Mungo is another
name .or old and worn-out fine felted goods and
broadcloth clothes, picked to pieces in the same
manner. 1t is the finer article, and when prop
erly prepared can be worked into the finest black
cloth to be found in the market very large
proportion of all the satinet in the market is
more or less impregnated with shoddy. The
same may be said of hosiery and stocknet goods.
1t is consequently worn by the many, and those
who do not get it on in one form or another are
the favored few.
EMPLOYMENT FOR WoMAN.-Lisle Lester, edi-
tress of the Pac!fc Monthly, urges through the
pages of her magazine the employment of fe-
males printing Offices, and says that they make
much better journeywomen than the men. The
editress says:
q The art of composition in printing office is
perfectly adapted to female help-and experience
tells that female compositors, who make
their living at the case as general thing, excel,
both in rapidity and correctness. This we know
to be a fact by personal experience in offices,
that have male and female composing depart
mcnt. The type set by the female compositors
q I,;1,
knowledged to be superior to that of old COM
postors, in proof, justifying, spacing, and that
too, when the ladies had worked at the business
only three months"

RecOnstruction.

The Daily Press is the Conservative organ
at Nashville, and has long been finding fault
with military government and calling for
Reconstruction" Here Is its response to the
proclamation Of amnesty:
From all we can ascertain of the general
popular sentiment, the people Of Tennessee
are becoming daily more reconciled to its
terms, and more convinced Of the liberal and
conservative spirit by which it was dictated.
1t is much to be regretted that even in those
parts Of the State subject to no rebel interfe-
renee, owing tn the want Of mail facilities, or
other means of speedy transmission, large
portiyn OF the population will, for long
time, only hear Of it through the ignorant in.
terprctation Of some and the intended mis-
representations of others, and thus an un-
fair prejudice against the measure be created.
To remedy this mischief, SO far as we can,
we have concluded to keep the proclamation
standing in our columns at least for some
days, in order that as many citizens as possi-
BILE may have opportunity TO read the docu-
ment itself without being reduced to the ne.
cessiry Of receiving the first impressions Of
its character through the perverting com.
ments Of ignorance or bigotry.
We feel confident that, by discussion or
reflection, the Presidents plan is rapidly
making converts in its favor, and that the
moderate and prudent men, comprising, we
would hope, large majority Of Tennessee
voters, will soon be brought 70 view it as an
expedient well adapted to relieve them from
their present anomalous and most distressful
condition.

THE EVENING NEWS.
THE HEART OF WOMAN.

'Mong icy hills and tropic groves,
And where the dark barbarian roves,
In gilded mansions, and where moves
Midst poverty, forms human,
There lives gem that glitters through
The clouds TINT mortal frames imbue,
As bright rs sunshine on the dew
1t is the heart Of woman.
Her heart is Loves own chalicc bright,
In which its essence, dartIng light,
Reposes deep to awe the night . ..
That spreads existence dimly:
As high with beaming Love It's Allied,
And with sweet purity instilled-
1t rises nearer Heaven, unchilled
By hates that hover grimly.
'Tis purcst 'mong domestic scenes;
For far more precious than queens
Is that dear heart that ever 81 .ams,
For home the Joys that make it.
Proud, tempted pleasures where grand strains
Hold revels with pervading pains,
Charms not that heart while home remains,
Twill bless and ne'er forsake II.
A treasure It's to toiling man,
And hopeful, soothing, when ban %.
Ger fortune comes, and ev'ry plan
OF life's wild hope is broken
Then like ray from Heaven 1t burns,
And cheek king SORROW overturns
The shadesstllat lure despair, As yearn
The soul for Loves best token.
Mans heart is like stalwart tree, r.. ...
BY nature moulded strong as be
The oak or elm, that 'bove the lea
Live, die, although not human.
The cold winds sweep, and leaves decline,
Yet round the trunk and branches twine
Then tendrls of fldcless vine
How like the heart of woman

A Cool Fiddler.

A Southern paper relates story Of the
snagging of steamboat, with the owner on
board who was very fond Of playing on the
violin. The captain, pilot and engineer were
in the cabin playing cards, one day, when
her bow struck a snag that knocked hole
in her bottom as big as hogshead. The
shock upset the faro bank and those who
were gathered around it, and caused gen:
eral confusion and CONSERVATION among all
except the owner, who, having rishted him
self in his chair, recommended his tune
where he left off, as though nothing had hap
pcned.
"She's sinkin'!" shouted an Arkansas
man, dressed in a dark hickory coat, who was
making his way out of the cabin with a pair
of saddle bags on his arm. "Tomohawk
me, II she amt a sinking, sure !"
The owner heard it, but fddled away, as
unconcerned as Nero at the burning Of Rome.
"Three feet in the hold! Run her ashore,
Buzzard, il you can p shouted the Captain.
The startling words reached the ear Of the
owner, but he continued to saw away.
The passengers run to him and bawled in
his ear:
"Do you know the boat is snagged !"
al suspected something of the kind
coolly answered the owner, as he laid his left
ear to tie violin, a la Ole Bull, and appeared
perfectly enchanted with his own strains.
"She'll be lost in five minutes J" continued
the passengers.
"She's been losing concern these five
years." replied the owner, as he drew the
most excrutiating tones from his fiddle.
81 can feel her settle!" said passenger,
fearfully. ..... .,
az wish she would settle with me for what
have lost by her, before she goes down"
was the owners reply, as his right arm
moved backward over the fiddle.
"But why don't you speak to the Captain
and give him orders what to do in the emer-
gency :" asked the good-natured passengers.
Interfering with the officers Of boat is a
very delicate matter" "meekly and quietly re-
marked the owner, as he still sawed away.
The boat careened over, and the next mo-
mentthe cabin was half full OF water.
The Let Her Rip, together with hor car
go and machinery, proved total loss. The
officers, crew and passengers saved them
selves BY means Of yawl, and the owner
swan ashore with his fiddle under his arm
and bow in his mouth. No insurance.

HonR1pIg CASE OF IND1y1DUAL SUFFER.

HORRIBLE CASE OF INDIVIDUAL SURFER
ING FROM THE SEVERITY OF THB WINTER.
Among the casualties reported in the St.
Louis papers from the effects OF the cold
snap is the following: On New Years day,
Mr.. rockingham, Secretary Of the Medina
County Coal Company, with IN Irish assist
ant, attempted to secure barge to the shore,
but were carried down the river by the ice,
several miles below the city. The barge
drifted against the shore, when the Irishman
landedto tie the rope, but itpulled away from
him, aad carried rockingham into the
stream. He was left there, and only yester-
day his body was found on the shore, frozen
rigid. Thepoor man had reached shore only
to die. -arfs
The Irishman, after the rope slipped from
his benumbed and freezing hands, started up
the river in the endeayor to reach the village
of Chahokia, mile and half away. We
all remember how cold was that dreadful day,
and with what relentless fury the storm
ragged even here in the city. What must
have been the condition Of a man getting off
on such shore, himself nigh frozen at the
time, and the wind sweeping from the river
with unimpeded velocity; It was chance
that he was not buried alive in snow-drift.
He made his way, however, to the town,
though In such state that it would have,
perhaps, been better II he had died out in
the storm. He was taken fnto the house Of
kind-hearted Frehchman in Cahokia, and
cared for as well as could be. But it was
soon discovered that he was terribly frost
bittsn. Both arms to his elbows, his left
foot and leg nearly to the knee, his ears and
nose, were frozen and turned black One
