Superabundance of Skirts.
Professor La Borde, of the South
Carolina College, in his recent work on
Physiology says:
“ I know not whether it is a matter
for congratulation, that corsets, with
their accompaniments, within the last
few years have declined in favor, for they
have been followed by a substitute, which
probably is not less injurious. This sub
atitute is the enornous multiplication of
petticoats, or skirts. These in number
must reach from six or eight to a doa. n
and some of the higher models of sash
ion extend the list to fourteen or fifteen.
There seems to be a sort of notion, that
the good taste of the lady is to be mea
sured by the number, and accordingly,
many a jioor sickly woman is to be seen
in our streets, “dragging Iter slow letigh
along,” under the weight of a good
dozeu. The reader will bear in mind
that there are no shoulder straps, as iu the
days of our grandmothers, when honest
women thanked Heaven if they got a
single petticoat. The uninitiated mav
inquire how is all this we'ght of skirts
fastened and supported ! It is tied tight
iy round the waist and spiue, thereby
heating it and creating a dangerous pres
sure upon the abdomen. In all this, less
wisdom is exhibited than by the Imre.
Do they employ, says liulhan, any arti
ficial means to mould the limbs of their
young or to bring them to a proper shape f
Though many of these are extremely
delicate when they come into the world,
yet we never fiud them grow weak, or
crooked, for want of swaddling bands.
We take the business out of nature's
hands, and are justly punished for ot:r
arrogance and temerity. Fathers should
attend more to the physical education o!'
their children, and, especially, of tlnir
daughters. Sure 1 ain, that mothers
would think none the worse of them for
it. Let them, like the father of Char
lette Elizabeth, exercise their authority
in all matters affecting their health.
Plutarch tells us that when Cato govern
ed Rome with so much glory, he would
quit his business to be present when the
nurse washed and dressed his children.
A Tobacco Ciiewer Cured.
On board ship, one day, we were ston
ing the hammocks, when one of the
boys came with bis hammock on his
shoulder, and as he passed, the first lii-tt
tcnnnt perceived that he had a quid ol
tobacco in his mouth.
“What have you got there t” asked
the lieutenant, “ a gum-boil ? ” Your
cheek is much swollen.” “ No, sir,” re.
plied the boy, “ there’s nothing at all t e
matter.” “O ! there must be; perhaps
it is a bad tooth. Open your mouth
and let me see.”
Very reluctantly the boj opened his
mouth, which contained a large roll of
tobacco-leaf “ 1 see, I see,” said the lieu
tenaut, “ poor fellow ! how you must suf
fer! Your mouth wants overhauling,
and your teeth cleaning. I wish wu had
a dentist on board : but, as wc have not,
I will operate as well as I can. Send
the armori r up herewith his tongs.”
When the armorer made hi* appearance
with his big tongs, the hoy was coni|tel!
ed to open his inouth, while the tobacco
was extracted with this rough instrit
merit.
“ There now ! ” said the lieutenant,
“I’m sure that you must feel better al
ready. You never could have any appe
tite with such stuff in your mouth.
Now captain of the afterguard, bring a
piece of old canvass and some sand,
clean his teeth nicely.”
Tho captain of the after-guard came
forward, and grinning from ear to ear
put tho boy’s head between his knees,
and scrubbed his teeth with canvass and
sand for two or three minutes.
“There, that will do,” said the lieuten
ant. “ Now, my li tie fellow, take some
water and rinse out your month, and you
will enjoy your breakfast. It was iin|>os
aible for you to have eaten anything with
your mouth in such a filthy condition.
When you are troubled in the same way
again, come to ine, and I will he you
dentist.” The lad was completely cured;
by the ridicule of this occurrence, of
the habit of tobacco-chewing.— Captain
Marryatt.
Remedy tor Gaps tN Chickens. —A
correspondent says, “Tell (hose of your
readers who are interested in raising
chickens, that a small pinch of gun
powder given to a chicken w ith the gaps
will effect a sure anil complete cure in
from one to three hours time, and leave
poor chick healthy and hearty. I speak
what I know, having tried the remedy
with perfect satisfaction.”
Indionation Meeting.— Tire people
of Brockport, N. Y., recently held an in
dignation meeting, to denounce a Church
which recently expelled two ladies, un
der circumstances calculated to injure
their moral character, without sufficient
proof. The man who first started the
report had to fleo the towu, to save a
emt of tar and feathers.

Jamaica and Negro Immigra
tion.
The journals iu Jamaica are discuss
ing the effect of negro immigration from
the United States. Some of them are
anxious to induce the free colored per
sous of this country to go thither, and
say it is exactly the sort of industrial
population they require. What has re
duced them to the necessity of calling
on the United States for labor ? Simply
because tl ey have freed their own slaves,
and they now virtually confess that ne
gro emancipation is a failure. There
are two objections, however, to their
scheme. In the first place the free ne
groes of this country would not like to
associate with such white folks as inhabit
Jamaica, and, in the next place, even if
they could condescend to put themselves
on an equality with those people, they
don’t like to work well enough to go so
far in pursuit of employment. The free
colored people ill this State are beginning
to petition the Legislature to allow them
to enjoy the blessings of slavery, and, so
far as they are concerned, would much
prefer to be themselves the slaves of Vir
ginia masters than to own Jamaica white
men.— Richmond Dispatch.
A Good Deed. —A young lady who
had just arrived in the suburbs of this
place, on her way to join her mother,
who had come to Sliapokee some
months since—met a poor German or
Irish woman in the road having iu her
arms a young babe. The mother made
a complaint to the young lady, stating
her reverse of life, saying that herself
and offspring were both sick ; that she
could not proceed further without aid or
relief from her burden. The young ladv
immediately offered to relieve her as far
as it was iu her power—by taking the
child. The mother gave up the child,
and our heroine—about “sweet sixteen - ’
—became charged with the cares of a
nurse. She proceeded to Mr. P.’s on
Second street, where her mother was
stopping, ami the surprise and coiistern
a ion of the young lady’s parent can
be'ter be imagined than described.
This young lady would make a noble
woman, kind mother and ail affection
ate wife.— N. O. Della.
A jury iu New York, on Thursday,

which he was disabled the next dav.
It was in evidence that the plaintiff - had

t&T Holloway’s Pills, a cure for
Sick Headache and Bile.—William Kaners, of
D aver, Maine, was, perhaps, one of the greatest
sufferers from sick headache and bile. Scarcely
a day passed without his feeling the dreadful ef
fects of these formidable evils. He put himself
in the hands of the doctors, but,they did him no
good. In fact, he became worse, until his suffer
ings were more than human nature could bear,
and he almost sunk under them; fortunately for
him he commenced using Holloway’s Pills, which
acted upon the system, cleansed the bowels;
cleared the head, and by persevering with them
for eight weeks, thoroughly restored him to
health. He has ever since been entirely free from
theere dreadful attack*.
JtST The Balm of Thousand Flow
ers.—This unique discovery will put to flight a
whole covey of 44 scented soaps,” 44 creams,”

palmed upon thc| public by ignorant quacks for
the sake of gain. The Balm, on the contrary, has
been proved, after being most critically analyzed
by the best physicians in the United States, to
contain no harmful ingredient, and is the most
useful article for the beard, the teeth aud the hair
ever submitted to the public. For sale at the

City Hotel, Richmond, Va.
Dr. John Minge, of th* city of Richmond,
though a regular physician, aud of course opposed
to what he called quack medicines, was obliged
to say that its good effects iu the case of Mr.
Ramsey were wonderful indeed.
He had been given up by several physicians;
hud tried most of the quack medicines, and was
on the verge of despair, ns well as the grave,
when he tried Carter’s Spanish Mixture.
We refer the public to his full and lengthy cer
tificate around the bottle, stating his cure.
jtiT Holloway’s Ointment and
Pills are a certain cure for Scurvy.—Edward
Hope, of Charleston, S. Carolina, suffered more
than most people from the scurvy, and the whole
of his body was covered with this unsightly
eruption, he tried a great number of reputed
remedies, but he was not benefitted by the same,
indeed it became doubtful to his friends whether
lie would ever overcome this disfigurement. At
length be tried Hollow ay’s Ointment and Pills,
and these medicines quickly produced e benefi
cial change. By continuing with those excellent
medicines for eight weeks he was radically cured.

TO BEAUTIFY THE COMPLEXION,
Wet a towel, pour on two or three drops of the
Bulm, and wash the face night and morning. In
a very short time you will perceive the magical
effect.
lIOWTO CURL II AIR, LEAVING IT BRIGHT
AND GLOSSY,
Rub on a small quantity of pomatum or bear’s
grease, then dip the hands in cold water, nour on
your hands three or four drops of the “ Balm of
Thousand Flowers,” for sale by anv Druggist;
rub it through the hair, and 3*oll can curl it in
any manner you please. Some hair may notcurl
easily at first, but by a few applications it will
be rendered perfectly easy.
SHAVING MADE EASY.
Every' person who shaves himself (and every
gentleman ought), will find the 44 Balm of Thou
sand Flowers ” the most agreeable article for
that purpose; dip your brash in either warm or
cold, or even salt water, pour one, two, or three
drops of 44 Balm,” ami rub it on the face. It not
only mukes a delightful lather, but alleviates the
pain consequent on shaving, rendering the shaven
part soft, white and healthy. In using tfijs ar
ticle, you dispense with all shaving apparatus but
brush and razor. Price only fifty cents a bottle,

nary shaving soap, while it removes from the

May easily be acquired by us ng this 44 Balm ”
as a dentnfrice. Wet your brush and pour on a
single drop ; wash tho teeth night and morning;
iu a very short time they will become white us
alabaster, and the breath sweet as the roses, of
which the “Balm” is composed. The Proprie
tor will forfeit
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
where it can be proven there has been a single
failure.
The Knickerbocker Magazine says of it: 44 It is
not our wont to allude to kindred fabrications, but
we can say’, from the ocular proof, that the 4 Balin
of a Thousand Flowers,’ a preparation for re
moving tan, pimples and freckles from the face,
shaving, cleansing the teeth, and curling the
