SNUFF DIPPIsG.- vile and disgust
ing practice of " nuifdipping" still pre-.
walls to considerable extent among the
girls and women OF the South nor is il
confined to the lower class alone, for
even those who deem themselves refined
ladies indulge in this filthy habit, though
they would conceal the fact as much rs
possible. 1t is not in the privacy Of the
chamber alone that " dipping" is practic
ed, but on our boats and cars the sugges
tive little chewcd sticks are seen protrud.
ing from the most unkissablc mouths OF
the fair sex, some of which eject saliva
with the facility Of an old tobacco chew

in the habit torn but slight idea of the
quantity Of chcwed up cuds of tobacco,
and the remnants Of cigars, that are col
lected in the bar-rooms of the larger ei.
ties by the boys, and sold to the snuff
grinders, and reflect that the filth they
put in their mouths has been rolled and
chewed by some brute of the other sex,
they would probably give up the habit.
But they must have an ocular demonstra.
ton of the fact, and until that time we
must expect to see tho " dippers' at work.
