"Dipplng'' and sChewjng" I'm
North Carolina.

A correspondent writing from Raleigh
says:
MANY Of these people have seen better
days, as their appearance plainly indicates.
They are ten to one females, plainly, but
tldiy dressed, wearing boRnets of most an
tlque patterns, and hOmespun of their own
make. A few have been able to buy cheap
calico, aud If young and homsly are apt TO
have hat OF more modern fashlen, which,
however, would appear sadly out of date in
Broadway or at Saratoga. The habit of
dipping snuff is almost universal among the
North Carolina and Georgia females, and a.
great many chew tobacco. You will see
otherwise good looking women expectora-
ting freely from carriage windows, along the
street, or as you pass them on the road
Each woman or girl carries a stick in her
mouth, which projects like miniature bow
spirit from threa 10 six inches. which they
continually roll as sweet mo7sei from side
to side. The habit disfgures the mouth.
and gives masculine appearance to the
lips and teeth, which are not un!requeptly
stained with liquid tobacco and snuff. La
dies OF education and refinement are not
addicted to this unseemly habit-at least
they DO not practice il IN public ,-.
Among the next Yankee innovations,
Consequent upon restoration Of peace and
good neig hborhood, you may look for the
speedy and efficient organization of anti
snuf-dipping and anti-temale tobacco chew
ing societies. Yesterday ! noticed group.

this country, would surpre every one if
the figures could be correctly given. About
Ave hundred barrels of the article are now

Death of Mrs. sigourney.

Mrs. Lydia Huntely Sigourney died at
Hartford, en- Saturday, in her seventy fourth
year. Her reputation as poet dates back
to a period antecedent to the birth Of many
of her present adult readers, her first vol.
ume having been published just fifty years
age Her maiden name was Huntley. She
was born at Norwich, Conn. Sept. ] 1891.
She engaged in teaching at the age of nine
teen, and four years later removed to Hart
ford, Conn, where her talents and worth
gained her the hand of Mr. Charles Sig
Quincy, a wealthy merchant of that city
Her life was devoted to literature, and her
productions have been very humorous, fill
ing about fifty volumes. Her compositions
were chiefly poetical, though several inter
ssting prose works have appeared from hor
pen. Her subjects are generally Of a re.
ligious character, and exhibit refined
thought, warm, but pure and healthful
imagination, a cultivated ear, delicate sen.
sibility, and earnest Christian faith. Had
she written less copiously it would have
beer better for her reputation yet there
are many of her poems that will long dwell
ia the memory and affection Of the public,

Important 10 Minors who BE
came Soldiers.

1t may not be generally known that
minors who entei ed the army, are enti-
tied by a recent act Of the Legislature,
to free education in any one of the
State Universities they may select, for
a period equal to that embraced be
tween the time of their enlistment and
that at which they attain their majority.
For instance, soldier who enlisted at
16 would be entitled under this law to
five years, or one who entered at eigh-
teen to three years tuition in the State
Institutions gratis. This Enactment
gives to any who may desire to avail
themselves of it, right to whatsoever
facilities the State may be able to fur
nish toward giving them a good educa
ton, and we doubt not many Of our re-
turned soldiers will avail themselves Of
its provisions.

SUBLIME SIMILE-Some twenty years
ago, Mr.. Everett delivered an Grafton
before the Mechanics Society of
Springfield, Massachusetts,, In which
occurs this eloquent passage: "In the
great Temple of Nature whose founda-

eternal hills, whose root is the starlit
sky, whose organ tones are the whisper
ing breeze and the sounding storm,
whose Archirect is God, there is no
