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. in m&itiseit iifliif viss wmm. Seven Born Fools. 1. The angry man, who sets his own house on fire, that he may burn Iris neighbor’s. 2. The envious man, who cannot enjoy life because others do. 3. The robber, who, for the consider ation of a few dollars, gives the world liberty to hung him. 4. The hypochondriac, whose highest happiness consists iu making himself miserable. 5. The jealous man, who poisons his own banquet, and then eats of it. 6. The miser, who starves himself to death, in order that his heirs may feast, ,'i. fire slanderer, who tells tales for the sake of giving his enemies an oppor tunity of proving him a liar. Our lady readers will be interested to know that in New York, as to spring bonnets, they are said to be bewitching in their new beauty, composed of silk blond and flowers, put together in the most artistic way. The, form is greatly improved— more room in the crown. Iu short they are more overcoming as well as becoming to the fair faces, smiling out from the blushing buds ami blond (rills. Favor seems rather to lean to the full crown; c.a|>es very deep, with an over frill of blond; and, from lie!ween the two. tendrils ami leaves of the most delicate grasses and moss peep daintily out as if to make sure that the reign of stern cold winter was over before present ing their buds and flowers.— Springfield Republican. r The lion. Edward Everett has been invited by tire ladies of Richmond, Va., to repeat a discourse oil the Life and Services of Washington, which he is preparing to deliver in 80-ton, on tire 22d of Fehltary. lie has accepted llre invitation, and appointed the 13th of March for its delivery.—The proceeds of (he Lecture are to go towards the pur chase of the Mount Vernon property. 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, rendered a Verdict for %450 damag<4 and costs against tho keejier of a livery stable, who took out a physician's horse after night, attached him to a sleigh, and drove him all night, in consequence of which he was disabled the next dav. It was in evidence that the plaintiff - had given the defendant permission to use the horse, but the edirrt charged that this was no license for an improper treat ment of thean'mal.

JOHN P. RADFORD, Sheriff. February 23,1856* d8 For the Cure of Croup.—A piece of fresh lard, as large as a butternut, rub bed with sugar, in the same way that but' ter and sugar are prepared for the dress ing of puddings, divided in three parts> and given at intervals of 20 minutes, will relieve any case of already allowed to progress to the fatal point. Iron Houses.—The consumption of iron for building purposes has now grown to be immense. In each of our cities, foundries are in full operation, solely en gaged on building castings, aud the uni versal favor with which iron buildings are regarded, betokens an incalculable increase in the amount of pig iron that will be required for them after a few more years.

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,” pastes, aud similar nostrums which have been palmed upon thc| public by ignorant quacks for the sake of gain.

Ramsey, for many years proprietor of the Far mer’s Hotel, Fredericksburg, Va.,and late of 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.
