Dipping.-The tiolci vocabulary of ibis country, has become enriched with the new and elegant word "dipping." A lady or a mis chews the end of a stick until she converts it into a kind of brush or fibrous mop, whic I she then proceeds to did into snutf, with which she rubs her teeth and gums. At frst she presses the powdered weed with a gentle hand, but becoming ensmored, at last touche so deeply as to consume a bottle of sanfd in a week. Whole families and whole schools of girls are said, with number of cleanly exceptions, to be given to this me theod of titallating their nervous systems; and many by the time they are full grown, have become so thorouably impregnated with the powder, that their apparel 'night hang in a hot room the whole sumnier, without being touched by the mots. We know of but two advantages from this habit. Ist. It may render thetm in sensible to the breatb of the other sex, who begin time use of tobacco with the study of grammer. 2d. It can be na'I- a substitute for whiskey (now falliig into discredit) by those who are in affliction. Thus we are told by a gentleman, that he lately saw a mother seated at the bed side of her expiring son, with an open dish of snuff on ibe table among his medici.es, into which she plunged her dipper" as of ten as she sighed; and when the tears of grief rolled down liar cheeks, they ming led with streams of snuff-colored saliva from the corners of her mouth. It seems hard-hearted to condemn a custom fraught .vith such comfurts, but we are compel led to say that it is not without many op posing effects. It our inquiries into the diseases of the sex in the south, we have already collected satisfactory evidence, that "dipping" is the cause oi some and an aggravation of many more.

A necdole.---A plain unlettered man from the t.ack country, in ilth State of Al alamna. came to Tuscaloosa, and on the Sabbath went early to church. lie had been acrustomed to attend meetings in school houses 2nd private dwellings. %%where eachi line appropriated to tbem selves, tie first csonveiout sent which they found unoccupied. 1ie selected therefore a seat in a convenient slip, and awaited patienily the assenibling of the congregation. The services commenced. Preseniy the music of a full-toned organ bust open upon his astonished ear; lie had never heard one before. At the sante time the gentlemen who owned :he slip came up the aisle. As lie approached the dlor of the slip. he mentioned to the couniryman iso come nut, in order to give pldce to the lady. This movement the countryman did -ot comtipreheid, ani from the situation of the gentlemian ansi lady, associated, it was in his mind with the music, he imniediately concluded that a csiillion or French poura contra dance, or sone other dance, was intended. Rising partly Crom his sent. he said to the gentlettan, who was still bec'.ning in him -Excuse me if you please-I don't dance." In a town some fifty niies from Boston, the members of a religious society were in the habit of holding confereice meetings in the church, at which they tmade a kind faudible confession, technically called re Pounting sne's - experience " A very pi Ous member of the church, Mr. D- . wits in the habit of inviting his neighbour Mr. L----, who was tint a memiber. to attend those meetiegs. at one of which Mr. D--- got up and stated to the cosigre gaton that he was a great sinner-that he sinnmed daily, and with his eyes open-that Ite wilfully and know ingly sinned-that goodness dwelt not in him-ibat he was asholutely andI totally depraved-that no thing but the hstundless mercy and infintite goodness of God could save hint from rternal d.iannaiio's.

Turning Cattle ito Fields-Tbe pte tice of turning cattle into ields, sier the crop has been gathered, .is considered by many planters as so injurious to the land, that they will not even allow cross fences, for fear of being tempted to do so. That the tramping of stock on some lands is in jurious, there can be o doubt; but we think it is far from being an universal rule. Stiff lands are, of course, rendered more stif and tenacious by the hoofs of stock, but what is injudicious to such lands is of ten decidedly beneficial to loose, porions soils ; and we think tbis is one oftihose ca ses. One of the very best planters we know in the upcountry, never permits his stock to run in his fields, and we have no doubt but that his practice is correct, for he plants estiN'land ; while on the other hand, we know another who plants light. porous lands in the low-couniry. who gives his stock the run of his fields, to im prove hie land by tramping. as well as to improve them. Our object in mentioning these opposite practices, by excellent planters, a to show the importance of slu dying the character of the soil we culti vate, before adopting what may have pro ved a most successful practiceon the part of others. It is true, with regard to this particular practice, there is another point to be considered, whether the gleaning of' of all the vegetable mater from fields, does not exhaust the soil more than is te paid by the feeding of the stock in this way. We have heard many intelligent planters contend that it does, and it does not become us to say that such is not the case. But we think it would require very few loads of manure to make up all that a hundred head of cattle would glean out of a field, unless the vegetable matter was turnesd under in a green state, which no plahier. with a full cotton crop can find tinue to do. And if the stock are penned at night on dry straw and leaves, after running in the fields during the day, the planter will have far more than enough to re-pay what they have taken from his ields, be-ides what he will gain hy the improved condition of his stock.-Colum ia Planter. The editor of the Natchez Free Trader discusses Lard Oil in the following atrain. Lard Oil.-Cincinnati has eclipsed Connecticut in.Yankee inventions. Horn dints,. basswood hams, and pine-knit nut mnegs, for usefulness, must now give place to the oleaginous properties of the much vaunted -land whale." Some philologist at the ea.et, defining the word Cincinnati, learnedly said that "it was an earnest ex hortation to Nathaniel to sin twice !" and Cincinnati. or some of the Natty's who live there, have sinned twice in selling us vtilansus lard oil that %ill either resist combustion with the stupid .obstinacy ora crubiy Jack, or horn otit all at once, like a brush-heap.-We have twice trusted to its illuminations. but sball be led by its light no mnre, Having had the most ex rellent opportunity through weeks of un rest and sickness, to watch the glineu ing lairp of a fever chambei, we speak knowingly ; and -more in sorrow than in anger" we pronounce the Lard Oil we have used a ,swinish humbug.

But its inost usual feature was to r pudiate rom btsionu altogether, or burn . unwil lingly as a live pig would have done. In deed, we should porefer a lively pig, dipped in turpentime, and lighted at his candel oxtremiity, to the lamp: A friend of ours, not long since at Cin einnati, was amused to see great numbers rf stwine going down into the river at te levee andi bubbling for the coast ol' rood thrown from steam boats. Some of the old swine had attained a marvellous ca pacity of keeiping under water a long time, sernding up huhbles to indicate where they were explorintg for food. Our friend sup posed it a desperate attempt on she part of ste hogs to become aquatic animals and be in every respect "very like a whale." We learn that candles, made from land, nr from lard Ity the Fuench chemical pro rest, were very much liked in the nor thternt cities last winter.-svere sold one third cheaper than sperm. and burn: clear er anud banger ; hut the lard oil we have had in the South needs more science to its manufacture.

Noel Method of Making Salt-We are inaformead that in digging one of the salt wells of the Kanawha, a vein of carburet ed Hydrogen (imlaammable gas) was struck, and that she gas comes up in large quantities, mixed with the salt water. Trhe proprietor has contrived to separate te gas from the water ; and while the water is conveyed iato the hoillers through one set of pipes, the gas is conveyed ine another set under the boilers, where it is inflamed, and evaporates the water ! Thus the same well yields thle water so make salt, and thte fuel to evaporate it! We are informed that salt is actually manufactured at thIs well, at the nets cost of two nts pe hAttA! If natu- co tinues to yield this double product. this well will be wonb more than a silver mane. -CiciuEaai Ckronick SBlacksmith's Work.-As many ofour farmers have blacksmith's shops of their own, the following directions for Working steel and making. edged aoils.. plain and simple as they are, may be of great value to them, if caserally enjoined upon their smith, who are frequently grea bunglers in this kind of work.- Sbaureris Pdtekr. "Working Cast .Steel.-We have re cedetly obtained informatin op this subject from The most ,skillful and celebrated workman in the U. Siates, Capt. J. ill1, of Billerica, .luss. We were a little sur prised to learn the difference in the man agenent of cast steel, from that of the German. There is something yet remaining mys terious. with regard to the nature and naa agenieni of this article; which no cyelope dia or other vehicle of idtelligence have as yet. developed. .. .The proces of manufacturing cast steel, it is not our purpose at present to des cribe, but it is evidently composed. of r lined iron and carbon in very nice propor nons. In the process of shaping i into mutting blades and other aricles .it is hea led and animered in ihe manner of other steel, when tempered for this purpose. i is first heated to full cherry red, and plun ted into water till cold. It may then be ld ovei a moderate charcoal fre, until he color of any part which has been filed >r made bright after hardening, changes to a poudish orange color. . This is the temper for cutting tools, Sat if a spring temper is required, it is heated aver the charcoal till the color approacies i blue, or rather blue Inclined to red. Aaq* tither case when the steel is brought to liow these colors, it is to be plnged in ul-common lamp or linseed oil-which Nill not areet the color. If the steel is to be rendered sot for urning or cutting, it must lie heated to a ull red, and luft to cool is partially igni ed charcoal; in this way it may be made o soft as to be cut or turned intoshape as easily as copper, or even common Pew. ier. But the most etrious and peculiar pro .ess is that of welding. In welding irot' s white heat is indispensable. as every bo. Jy knows; but not so with east steel n hen the se,-l is to be wclded te iron ueitber are to be heated above a full cher. ry red. The two parts are to be previ rausly lashed or girded together, and in that condition heated: they have they them unly to be immersed in calcined borax, or to have prepared borax (borati of soda.1 sprinkled over the joint, are Meidy to ad aere by being hamaietd iogeber. The borax for this purpose is to be pre pared, by being previnusly heated to a fult red, and kept tested till it becomes a soft owder like four What ilie chemical efleet ofthe calcined borax o the, metalid sairfaces is not perfectly unlerstood farther than that is affinity for oxygen such as to deprive be jointed surfaces of any portion oxygen which might piivent a ready scion of the orfaces.
