From a late London Taper.
THE PAD*
To the Tunc of “ The Vicar and Moses.”
WHAT various ways
The female. essays
To win the affeftion* of man ;
The charms of Hit year,
That cmbellifh’d die rear,
Mow worttonly sport in the van,
The prominent wnift
Os the women of taftc,
Is a fafhion that's sure of succeeding,
When fu ellings before
Aie reckon’d no more
Than merely the marks of good breeding.
Had I really not known,
This odd tafle of the town
I’d have thought ladies gone very far ;
And have laid any bet,
All the women I inet,
Were raising recruit* for the war.
The big-b—lv’d lass,
Who unnotic’d would pass
If with guilt you should venture to charge her,
Cried, “ The people are mad :
“ Don't you fee ’tismv Pad !”
Tho’ her Pad’s growing larger and larger.
Then let each lovely fair
This fafhion forbear,
Which depravity only avows :
Let no swelling appear,
In the front or the rear,
But such as tweet nature allows.
EPIGRAMS cn the LADIES PADS.
When women’s minds were undefil’d and
chaft”,
F.v’n wives would blush, to flicw a swelling
waifl ; r
But now the Pads that give the fafhion’d swell,
Mere misses waftt, and wanton wishes tell ;
Tho’ great in (ize, their modelly is small,
They rife to flmw how e ifily Lhcy fall.
SAYS Laura to Kitty, when fixing her Pad,
A natural one mufl be charming, egad !
“ Yes, laughing, fays Kittv, “ for who can ne
gledf
To advert to the cause when they fee the
effeft.”
THE Mehometans believ” that women have
no fouls ; we Chriitians fee that they have now
do ft their bodies ; therefore they cannot be hu
man, hut mufl be what we always thought
them— Ansels.

Cotton Ginning.
‘HE Subscriber is empowered by
J. Mr. E EE, of the Bahama Illands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tlernan of the Rates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wilh to become
fubferibers, are requested to fend for
ward their names as loon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
ciofed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent of the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin 30olbs.
of c*n cotton per day, with a small
npelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
lor other purposes, such as rice machines,
>aw or grill mills. Mr. Eve will fend
over a person competent to set them in
•notion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fume small expe
riments that have been made upon the
Teen feed cotton it appears that from
150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa- ‘
tion upon this fubjett I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underftgned certi
ficate from a refreshable Cotton Plan
ter of this Rate, who has been an cye
witnefs of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the mod ref
pedable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may vvilh to become a fubteriber.
This machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA , Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Illands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivated in the back
country of the southern states, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment I found to an
swer. The rainy season letting in a
bout the time 1 received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as
sured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the courf'e of a
day. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the staple, and, from a
lainple of feed and cotton m poflefiion
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Naf
fauT frequently vifued Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country ; the conltruttion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
practice ofuftng them.
