In the issue of the GAZETTE of Jan. 7th,
1879, we made mention of the Golden Wed—
ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. George M.
Benedict, and now have to record the sudden
death of Mrs. B., which occurred on Tues—
day of last week, at her residence in the
Taunton District. She had been suffering
for nearly a year with disease of the heart,
and for the last few weeks been complaining-
with a heavy cold. On .Tuesday morning,
feeling much better, she took her place at
the breakfast table with the family, eating
heartily, and was spoken to by members of
the family on her improved appearance.
After the meal she called for sewing and was
busily engaged until about 11 o’clock, when
she suddenly made exclamation, and her
daughter stepping up to her chair saw there
was achaugc for thoworsc. She lived but a
few minutes after. Mrs. B. was a devoted
Christian and was much loved and respected
in the neighborhood. The funeral was attend-
ed from her late residence on Friday, and the
remains were followed to the cemetery by a
large concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends. W.

It is natural to advise boys to avoid thin
ice. A father in this neighborhood did so,
thinking himself wise, and then visited the
pond which his son had asked permission to
skate on and been refused, and while inspect-

sneaked home, changed his clothes, and kept
the incident a secret. The boy skated un-
molcstcd after that and had a good time.
Anumbcr of our prominent citizens met
at the office of the Judge of Probate the other
day to consider the propriety of asking the

The talk of any southern state being car-
ried by the republicans- next year is foolish-
ness, no matter who is nominated for the
presidency. Were there a fair and free vote
it is possible South Carolina, Florida, Miss-
issippi and Louisiana might cast their elec-
toral votes for the republican candidate.
But. no such election will be held. There‘ is
not a. state south of the Potomac in which
there is the ghost of a chance for the repub—
licans. They will be beaten by fraud, in-
timidation and violence, and if these‘are not
sufficient will be counted out. The only
hope of the republicans is in carrying the

BRIDGEPORT.
What a win'ter ! We boys and girls of
smaller or greater growth despair of being
able to slide down hill or of joining the coast
survey by looking on. he despondeucy vis-
able among the o'\vncrs of fancy runners, and
the proprietors of coal yards, ready made
clothing, and so forth, is something distress—
ing to the sensitive mind. But then the ex-
ultation among many other classes of society
is sutiicicnt to afford a measure of relief.
The average citizen may well settle down
content, taking the breezes, balmy or boister-
ou‘s, as they may be meted out.
A sign of improvement over last winter is
the absence from among us of tramps. They
are as scarce as snowstorms. \Ve miss them
and we mourn them, but we would not call
them back. Whatever preparation the good

was sure to have a rag-amufiiu on hand for
breakfast. Now her muffins are wholly of a
different. variety. A seedy looking dispirited
traveler the other (lay met a friend of ours in
West Siratford, and asked him if he thought
he would be able to get through Bridgeport.
He had “heard that they have a very strict
law there.” And he was correct! Bridge-
port is very scver’c on men of his character.
It believes'that unless a man will work he
should not‘eat. We are very glad of this
faint intimation that out in the wide world
they still regard Bi‘idgeport as a law-loving
ders of various degree have occurred among
us that we feared a different opinion might
be held. It would not have been altogether
strange had many located our fair city in
Texas rather than in the land of steady
habits. But no. Bridgeport has “a very
strict law.” May it henceforth honor it by a
strict obedience.
On Monday of last week we were favored
with a lecture from Rev. Robert Collyex
upon “Clear Grit.” To hear him was a priv
liege indeed. The Opera House has seldom
been filled by so large and cultivated an au—
dience. The speaker’s style is charming.
He is as fresh and bright as a blooming clo—
ver-field. His lecture was pleasing and in—
spiring. He advised faithfullness in labor;
every workman to don full day’s work. He
madea plea for early marriage to the great
delight of several parties present,among them
ministers, anxious mammas and certain h‘ap-
py young couples. It is not yet known how
many proposed the important question on
the way home. He also advocated the rear—
ing of large families of children, who shall
fill the home with merriment and bear the
parents’ name and "graces down among the
events of the coming time. The entire lec—
ture was full of happy hits. The world of
nature breathed into it its perfume and its
song. Phrases and sentences, homely and
striking, pithy and humorous, followed each
other in rapid succession. He makes the fire
fly as he used to do when working at the
forge, only the “fire” is of adifierent quality.
If any of your readers have an opportunity
to hear Robert'Collyer and fail to. avail
themselves of it, they will have lost the
privilege of looking into a noblc'soul and
feeling the strange magnetism of a strong,
pure, sunny nature. .If all the pulpits in our
land had in them men as fully in sympathy
as is he with nature, with fellow man and
with God, there would be in the pews less
drowsiness. We say this without affirming
anything of assent to the peculiarities of his
theology. Of course one feels no surprise
at noting a lack of perfection in any man.
A sad accident occurred here on Friday
last. A young man, Frank Parsons by name,
employed at Pyle and Hopson‘s, while upbn
the third floor seized a rope connected with
the elevator, intending to descend upon it.
Unfortunately it was not fastened at the top,
and he fell the entire distance, receiving in-
juries from which he shortly died. He was
a bright attractive fellow, promising and
beloved. It is said that his mother, who
lives in another town, was here but a day or
two before, paying him a visit, and that she
returned home happy in his situation and
prospects—only to receive so soon the terri»
ble shock that came with the announcement
of his death. His funeral,on Monday is to be
attended at Christ church, and the Sunday
School of which he was a member, will
gather to express its affection and its sorrow.

A. mass meeting of citizens was to have
been held on Thursday last to consider what
can be done among us for the relief of suffer-
ing Ireland. On account of the storm the
meeting was adjourned to Saturday evening.
.Mcanwhile private subscriptions have been
made. to the object indicated, and it G said
that the sum already raised falls but little if
anything short of $10,000.
How about the Hospital fund in your vicini-
ty? Several of the neighboring towns have
been sending in substantial tokens of their
sympathy. It is reported that the managers
wish to raise $40,000. The State has been
asked to contribute. In six‘or eight of our
churches special religious services have been
held during the past week, and are to be
continued through the week to come. In
most cases these are attended with no little
intei‘est. The air seems vital with spiritual
forces. After the long twilight the rosy
dawn is- apparently brightening about us.
We wait and hope for the day.
On Sunday Rev. Dr. Alexander R.
Thompson, formerly pastor of the South

at the Park street church. The ordi-

to overflowing. Dr. Thompson’s ministry in
this city was exceedingly fruitful of good

great changes. '
Bishop Haven remarked in the course of a
sermon delivered in Philadelphia, that
'society sometimes condemns a man as a
criminal when he is a saint, and calls him a
saint when he is a sinner. “You recollect,”
he added, “the time when they arrested the
man who tried to emancipatc the slaves by
force? It was the only time when the eyes
of the whole world were turned to America.
That man, under the lawspf the State, was
a criminal. But when Governchisc signed
that man’s death warrant he knew John
Brown was a saint; the sheriff who took
him to execution knew he had charge of a
saint; the officer in charge of the regiment
that stood beneath the gallows knew the
man who. was to hang was a saint, not. a sin-
ner. There was no such excitement when
your Governor hanged men by the dozen for
using force to protect their labor; and they
gave honor to the Governor who had the
courage to face the laboring community.”
The Bishop, toward the close of his sermofi,
aver-red with emphasis that Russia and Eng-
land, the two great Empires, were barbarian
when compared with ancient Rome.

For the Gazette.
“Shoddy .”
The majority of .people are aware that there
is a something called and known as shoddy,
and yet are ignorant of what it really is or
from what it is made. It is the purpose of
this article to inform such iind throw as much
.light upon this nefarious stufl‘ as we have at
oiu-couuimnd. I’Ve have looked in vain to
find the origin of the word, but have not
failed to find the article itti-lf 1'1 vaiieiy aid
abundance. '
Shodcly that enters so largely and varicdly
into the composition of “.extile fubriCs” is
one kind, and that isllic kind that has our
attention now. ,
Creed and avarice inter largely into on
nature or education (just which you please),
and without doubt. it was this principle that
influenced those “Yorkshiremcn” in England
to introduce this detesta lc slufi itito'ihcir
goods as a sure and speedy way to the goal
of wealth a‘nd'the luxuriant case attending
it. '
As we said before, it may not be generally
known what shoddy'is, and yet there is an
idea that it is a tomething 1h: t is not honest,
and in this conclusion there is no mistake.
And now for the information of our read—
ers we will give avcry brief description of
how the material is obtained and how treated
before it gets into the hands of the woollen
manufacturer who transforms it into a thing
-of beauty and profit to himself.
Who has not seen that “caravan” of Italian
rag pickers as they make their periodical
visits in our streets and back yards? Who
does not look upon them as a band of itiner-
ant thieves, and fly around with all possible
dispatch to see if everything portable is ac-
cure from their thicvish grasp? “Echo au-
swers, none." Here let me ask you to exer—
cise your charity and render unto Caesar the
things that are Cazsarv’smnd to the rag pickers
the rags that are his by virtue of conquest,
for he is of more importance to the com-
mercial and manufacturing interests of the
country than we are prone to credit them
. with. He goes from street to street and from
house to house and gathers up all the old
rags, fragments of carpets, mops and all
kinds of woollen rags, filthy or otherwise,
and stows them in the sack that he transports
from place to place until the burden becomes
as heavy as he can conveniently “tote,” then
they are sent or carried by himself to the
rug dealer in the city, where they are sold
for their market value, which varies accord—
ing to the market value of wools. Some
estimate of thé amount of shoddy used in the
United States may be made when we are told
that the value of the rags gathered for this
purpose amounts in round numbers to twenty
six million dollars annually, to say nothing
of the rags that are imported from Russia,
Germany, France and England.
.When we look at the rag picker we con-
clude at once that he is no ornament to socie‘
ty; but again, when we look at those twenty
six million dollars, the product. of his labors
and thz'wt‘ngs, we are constrained to believe
that nothing is created in vain, for each 125
,pounds of rags is the annual product of
twenty-five sheep, and that much is added to
the wealth of the country. Exit rag picker
from this moral drama while we introduce
the rag dealer alluded to above. The part
that he takes in this drama of fraud is this.
After he gets possession of the rags he has
them sorted into three grades, according to
color'and fineness. The lightest color and finest
fiber being the most valuable. He then has
them put into bales of 500 or 000 pounds
each and stowed away to await a purchaser,
who soon puts in an appearance,an(l is either
a shoddy maker or a woollen manufacturer,
for it must be borne in mind that some man-
ufacturers grind their own rags for economy’s
sake. In either case the rugs are treated as
follows: They are first put into a wire gauze
cylinder called a duster; the power is then
applied and it is allowed to revolve long
enough to beat out all the loose dirt; they
are then handed over to women and children
to be seamed, all the servings are cut out in
.order to get. rid of the cotton threads that
they have been sewed with, which if left in
would disfigurc the manufactured goods and
thereby expose the cheat. 'The rags are then
laid down in a “bed” and rinkled over with
oil for the purpose 9f sof ing the threads
inorder that the fibers may be drawn out as
near their original length as possible. After
receiving the oiling they are fed on to an end-
less apron and from that they pass through
the feed rolls when they come in contact with
the teeth of the revolving cylinder of the
"pick” or “devil," as it is called by some, and
comes out at the gpposite end of the “devil,”
not as‘rags, but déoiled-up-wcol. called very
appropriately, “shoddy,” and is again ready
to be manufactured up into cloth, shawls,
carpets, and textile fabrics generally in a
manner calculated to deceive even experts
themselves. .
We may be asked what percentage of this
stufi' is used by shoddy goods makers, and in
anticipation of this question we answer, all
the way from. ten to one hundred per ce’nt. for
’we have seen ladies in' Norwalk wearing
cloaks with becoming pride and self-satisfac-
tion, that had not one fiber of pure wool in
the whole garment, To show that this is a
“bite dog; bite devil” operation, from the
filthsr rag in the gutter to the attractive cloth
in the market, needs only this illustration.
When the shoddy maker “pulls” his rags he
bestows upon them as liberal a supply of
cheap oil as possible, without detection for
that oil is sold with the shoddy at thirty or
forty cents per pound, that cost. perhaps,
originally seven cents. The manufacturer
that “pulls" his oWn rags uses as little oil as
possible, for all superabundancc of oil is not
only a waste but must be removed in manu—
facturing by soap, which, of course, costs
money. -
The whole thing from Alpha to Omega is
a fraud and a. standing disgrace, to our man—
'ufactoriesmnd the evil can only be eradicated
by the public demanding honest goods and
manifesting - a willingness to pay for the
same; for. the time has not yet come when
we are to receive something for nothing. 0:
in other words when we are to get one (101
lar‘s worth of cloth, or any other commodity
for fifty cents. Here we will drop the sub—
ject for the present and in our next we shall
attempt to show the effect of this nqfim'om
stzqf, called “shoddy," upon. the honest man-
ufacturers of the United States, and its de—
tection by the public that has it to purchase,
so that they need not be deceived by it.

A Good Introduction.
“Favorite Remedy" was introduced into
Connecticut in 1877, at the solicitation of
Rev. J. G. Smith, of Hartford, who after
having suffered for years from Chronic Liver
Disease and indigestion, obtained the medi-
cine and was cured. This faithful pastor,
thinking of the bodies as well as the souls of
his people, at once commenced the advocacy
of “Favorite Remedy" and has been the hap-
py instrument of saving scores of lives.
“Favorite Remedy" is now as well and favor:
ably known in Connecticut as along the Hud-
son. Onc dollar a bottle. All druggists sell
it. 'Dr. David Kennedy, Proprietor, Ron—
dout. N. Y. '

There is a religious movement against to—
bacco-in the Oneida community, where the
weed has been freely used. The reformers
do not take any pledge, nor abstain whenever
they desire to smoke or chew, but pray for
God to remove" the appetite for tobacco, and
many declare that they have thus been en—
tirely cured. -
We do not know of a single instance in
South Carolina where the presence of United
States troops at‘the polls has prevented any
Democrat from voting. We" know of him—
dreds of instances where, in the absence of
United States troops colored Democrats did
not dare to vote as they desired.-—-0karleston

Thomas Smith, called “Honest Tom,” a
Widely known, and the richest, retail liquor
dealer of Brooklyn andjNeW York, died on
Wednesday Worth $500,000. He made his
money in the “two ,for one” principle; that
is, he gave drink free to whoever bought one.
He got rich at it, too !

m Enduroi the run of a Home Surgi-
' on Operation without taking
chloroform.
(From the Courier.)
MESchoonmaker, of Greek Looks, Ulster
00., N. Y., had. the misfortune to entirely
lose the eight of one of her eyes, through an
accident, and endured painful inflammatory
action therein for two long years :—the other
eye finally becoming sympathetically affected.
her general health seriously suffering; indeed,
she was a. mere wreck, a. walking skeleton.
In this terrible strait, she consulted Dr. David.
Kennedy, of Rondout, New York, who told
her at once that the injured eye must bere-
moved. She quietl but fimfiy said: “All
right, Doctor, but on’t give me chloroform.
Let my husband sit by my side during the
operation, and I will neither cry out 61' a ' ."
The work was done, and the
kept her word. Talk of soldier-1y courage!
This showed greater pluck than it takes to
face a. hundred guns. To restore her general
health Dr. Kennedy then gave the “Favorite
Remedy,” which cleansed the blood, regulated
the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, and thus im-
garted new life to the long-suffering woman.
he rapidly gained health and strength, and
is now well. The “Favorite Remedy" isa
priceless blessing to woman. No ' y
should. be without it. Your druggist has it.
If not send to Dr. David Kennedy, Readout,
