confined TO any particular class Of the wom-
en- of New York. Though probably it is
most prevalent among the poorer and uned
ucated females, vet all the sellers agree that
q large part of the demand IS from genteel
and high.bred ladies' in the fashionable
walks of life. Females of ali ages are
among their customers. Girls of the town
are often addicted to this use of snuff. End
ing IN it stimulent more soothing and en-
during in its effects than the liquors with
which they seek to drown their misery and
shame. The combination Of the various
snuffs is kept trade secret by the manu-
lecturers. but about 60 per cent is made up
Of salt, pearlash. and ether pungent sub
stances, which add flavor and stimulating
power to the article. Hundreds of women
hny their ssapE uu3sf the pretence of clean
ing their teeth, and it is claimed by the
dealers that all their "digging" customers,
old or young, have their teeth in remark
ably sound and lustrous condition.
How the practice came So extensively
spread in New York is not known, though
it is probably Southern importation, and
has not obtained much of foothold until
within the past fifteen years. Those who
are addicted to it here do not display their
habit openly, as at the South, but conceal it
carefully from their nearest friends. shut
ting themselves in their rooms and secretly
indulging in a snuff debauch They de-
posit the mixture, with peculiarly-shaped
horn or silver spoon, in the inside of the
lower lip. There it is allowed to remain
until thoroughly moistened, when it is
passed around to the sides Of the mouth,
where it stays till exhausted of its essential
powers.
When this habit has once fastened upon
woman, she rarely, if ever. is able to
shake it of. Neither ruined health. self
respect, nor love for her husband. children,
and friends, can give her sufficient resolu
ton to abstain from snuffchewing. Among
other instances narrated by prominent to-
baccouist illustrative of this fact, was the
case of rich and fashionable lady. whose
husband presented her, at different times,
with horse and carriage, and other, costly
gifts, as pledges that she would abandon
the habit, but, after a short abstinence, she
invariably returned to her snuff. On one
occasion, having taken the steamer for
Charleston, or some other Southern port,
and having forgotten, in her hurry, the pre-
eious box of snuff, she gave a black stew
ardess $5 for few spoonfuls of like quail
ity which the latter had in her possession.
That our readers may form some idea of the
enormous prevalence of this habit in their
midst, we may state that one tobacconist,
having small store on Broadway, retails
one hundred pounds per week, to his dig
ging" customers alone. His snufing Gus
toners consume but twenty FIVE pounds
One firm, keeping a store on the Bowery
and another down town, make aud sell three
barrels goo pounds in the same number
of days. all of which is consumed by wom-
en- of New York City. The amount used
by each digger" varies from one quarter
of pound to pound per week ~ Y.

SNUFFDIPPLNG IN NEW YORK CRY

A graphic account was published by one
of our contemporaries, a few days ago, Of
the disgusting practice of "snuf-dipping,
so extensively in vogue among women OF
all classes in the Southern States. People
from the North. travelling through Virgin
ia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama,
have been astonished at beholding the open
and matter-offact method of INDUCING IN
it--at seeing pretty young girls, lovely Ia
dies, married women and single, sitting in
circles, formed expressly for this purpose.
Each snuff-dipper has her bottle and swab.
stick, or box and mop, from and by which
she conveys the filthy dust to her lips, and
then, Withdrawing the mop, perhaps passes
il along to her neighbor as an act of deli
cate attention. Without doubt, this habit
of snuff-dipping would be far more unseem-
~ than that of tobacco-chewing, il prac-
ticed by men, and when it is considered
that women only have adopted it, one can
hardly repress shudder of disgust.
Many of our readers will be surprised TO
learn that great mistake is made in sup
posing that this foul and pernicious habit is
confined to The females of the South. We
have to record the fact, based upon careful
investigation, that it is more or less secret
~ IN practice among the women of our own
city, and 10 quite considerable extent
The article used for this purpose is the old
fashioned yellow Scotch snuff, of which
four times as much is consumed in this way
by the women of New York as for the it'll
alton of the olfactory organ by all the snuff
takers of both sexes. Certain tobacconists
on Broadway and the Bowery have estab-
hshed a reputation for the particular quail

slaves to it go by the title of ''diggers''-

THE PLAYMATE.
By J. Q. wulrrlrR

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill.
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in She sweet May wind
We're falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet.
The orchard birds sang clear
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed Of all he year.
For. mere to me than birds or flowers,
Ny playmate left her home.
And took with her the laughing spring,
The musle and the bloom.
She kissed the lips Of kith and kin.
She laid her hands in mine
What more could ask the bashfnl boy
Who fed her iather's kline Z
She left Us in the bloom of MAY
The constant years told Ger
Their seasons with as sweet May morns,
But she came back no more.
l walk with noiseless feet, the round
Of uueventful years
Still Ger and DER SOW the spring
And reap the autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year
Her summer roses blow
The dusky children of the sun
Before her come and SO.
There haply With her jewelled hands
She smooths her siken gown
No more the homespun lap wherein
! shock the walnuts down.
The wild grapes wait US by the brook.
The brown nuts on the hill,
And still the May-day flowers make sweet
The woods of Follynill.
The lilies blossom in the pond.
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ramoth hill
The slow song of the sea.
l wonder if she thinks of them,
And how the old time seems
If ever the pines of Ramoth wood
Are sounding in her dreams.
/ see her face, hear voice:
Does she remember mine
And what to her is now the boy
Who fed her fathers kline 2
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours,
That other hands with nuts are filled,
And other laps with flowers
o playmate in the golden time,
Our messy seat is green;
It's fringing violets blossom yet,
The old trees Ger it lean.
The winds so sweet with birch and fern
A sweeter memory blow
And there in spring the veeries sing
The song of long ago.
And still the pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like the sea-
