NEGRo ExEMPTloN.-We learn from
the Memphis Appeal, that Mr.. c. G.
Baylor, a gentleman of character and
reputation has recently delivered lee
ture at Holly Springs, Miss, on the
wisdom and necessity of eNempting ne
groes from sale under execution for
debts of their owners. Two objects are
proposed by this movement-one, to
abate the clamors of the Abolitionists
against the forced separation of families;
and the other to increase the number Of
shareholders, by eXemptlng the poorer
whites from the loss y their slaves in
consequence of debt THE proposal is
said to have secured approval Of dstln-
gulshed gentlemen at the South, and a
formal appeal TO shareholders for their
appreciation, is soon to be made in the
Baltimore Cotton Plant.

How KENTUCKY GOT IT'S NAME.-T'he
origin and meaning of the name of Ken.
lucky has been accounted for in differ
ent ways, both ingenious and plausible.
The latest ana ysis of the word Kentucky
that we have heard, we had few days
ago from the lips Of an old hunter, now
in the ninety-ninth year of his age.
When Boon first came to that country
it was Inhabited exclusively by no tribes
of Indians, but was the common hunt
ing ground for all the tribes of the ad-
jacent country. The rich valleys were
covered with chapparel of cane, bear
ing a small berry, on which the turkeys
came in countless numbers to feast.
Thus, it YVES enough for the whites to
call it the land of Conc and Tarkey.
The Indians, trying to pronounce the
same words, got It Kane tuckee, from
this 1t was abbreviated into kentuCk,
and finally the name by which it is now
known--kentucky-tne land of Cane

COMFORTABLE lMPROvEMENT.--A
practice possessing some merit, is COM
ing into vogue in New Orleans. 1t is
building of large and elegant veran-
dahs in front of the second stories of
buildings, so as to cover the whole
breadth of the sidewalk, and protect
pedestrians from the sun and rain, MAX
ing a cool and comfortable promenade.
When placed over stories they have the
advantage Of saving the cost Of awnings,
and answering the same purpose more
effectively, though rendering the store
rather dark.

SATURDAY M0RNING AUGUST 20 1863

MANAGEMENT OF FINGER Nails
According to European fashion, they
should be of an oval figure, transparent,
without specks or ridges of any kind,
the semilgnar fold, Or white half circle,
should be fully developed, and the pelIi.
Gle or cutcle which forms the configu-
ration around the roots of the nails, thin
and well defined, and, when properly
arranged, should represent, as nearly as
possible, the shape OF half filbert. The
proper arrangement of the nails is to
cut them of an oval shape, correspond
ing with the form Of the fingers: they
should not be allowed to grow too long,
as it is difficult to keep them clean; nor
too short, as it allows the ends Of the
fingers to become Aattened and enlarged,
by being pressed upwards, against the
nails, and gives them clumsy appear
ance. The epiderlnis which forms the
semi-circla around, and adheres to the
nail, requires partlc ular attention, as it
is frequently dragged on with its growth,
drawing the skin below the nail so tense
as to crack and separate into what are
termed asnails. This is easily rem
edied. by carefully separating the skin
from the nail by blunt. half round in
strument. Many persons are in the
habit Of continually cutting this pellicle
in consequence OF which it becomes eX-
ccedlngIy irregular, and often injurious
to the growth Of the nail They also
frequently pick under the nails with a
pin, pen-knlte, or the point Of sharp
scissors, with the intention of keeping
them clean, by doing which they often
loosen them, and occasion considerable
injury. The nails should be ceansed
with a brush not too hard, ana the semi.
circular skin should not be cut away,
but only loosened, without touching the
quick; the fingers being afterwards dip
ped III trpld water, and the skin pushed
back with towel. This method, which
if practIced daily, will keep the nails OF
aproper shape, prevent agnails, and the
pelllcIes from tmckening or becoming
rugged, or Informed; the longitudinal
ridges or ibres should be scraped and
rubbed with lemon, afterwards rinSed in
water, ard well dried with the towel;
but if the nails are very thin, no benefit
will be derived by scraping: on the con-
trary, it might cause them to split. II
the nails grow more to one side than the
other, they should be cut in such a man
ner as to make the point come as near
as possible in the centre of the end OF
the fingers. Durlacher.
