KENTUCKY Boy AND G1RL.-A corresson-
dent OF the Cairo (lll.) Democrat, writing from
Crit'enden Springs. KY, says: A seven year
old lad came in from neighboring farm the
other day TO sell basket Of apples l ocular
y appealed to him for chew Of tobacco.
Much TO my surprise and disgust he whipped
out Of his pocket q great TWIST of natural leaf
and tencered 1t 10 me. l supplied myself and
handed back the twist. when this child. almost
baby. emptled his mouth Of q well-masuca-
ted cud, and replaced 1t with a fresh one twice
as large as that upon which my own molars
bad commenced playing: Another and more
disgusting case is that Of little girl, whose
mother does washing for the patrons Of the
springs, and to whom I yesterday paid a small
amount OF fractional currency. TINS child,
only eight years old actually cried for ten cents
OF the money TO buy chewing tobacco. and
finally obtained it. Her mother informed me
that the child had been chewer nearly four
years, and bad now become so confirmed in the
habit that she could not whip 1t out Of her.
These form two out OF n lumber of equally re.
volting instances of youthful depravi,y to
which might refer you as peculiar to this 10.
cality. They excite little or no attention among
residents; and the young victims OF the habit,
themselves, indulge their natural appetite in
any presence with the sang froid and freedom
OF regular old stagers.
