' Qitmtions .\vf> Answkhs.?In the correspon dence colli toil of the last N. V. Times and Mes senger, we find the following- interesting ques tions. and answer.-: Qittry:?"Is the'stylc of manners essentially different from what it was live and twenty years ago? For instance, I am watKing (run urn i? dies, when u gentleman joins u^ who is npquaia ted with the Indies but nut with me, engages in conversation, an*!, in fact, hiitiscn one of the paity. How would this bo regarded by the 'old school ?'" A Hirer:?The manners of the present nay, in this latitude/partake largely of what would be called "the fre<?-nii>l-en?y," the principal in gredient of which is impudence; nnd to that category belongs such ft c&se as that to which you refer. A quarter of a century ago, no gen tleman would have indulged in such an not of l Uilei.c-s. Manners were then more ceremoni ous, nnd intrusion wns looked upon a- a high social vtience. introductions were more frwm al and gunrded, ai;<i character wr.s more essen tial to acquaintance. Now, the miscellaneous element which mixes up everybody withevcry boily prevails; good ami bad are Irccly mingled, and a.bold front is a substitute for the more sub?tautial qualities of goodness and intelli gence. This continst is not favorable lo our own times. Query:?"We" have a disoiis.-i .n at our boar ding house whether a gentleman who o;casion aliv spends an evening in the parlor with a young lady, is under rill oblipttion to take her io places of amusement in which the expresses ^ an interest?'' Ai)*:cetJ:?The ' etiquetfo of Imardtng-bouse life seems to he imperfectly understood. Pri marily, the persons who congregate at larding imuses do so fur their conVeni-nee, to secure rooms and meals. Iho society is incidental, and no one boarder can make a demand iipon another for nnv more than the or.lalnry civili ties of ftinnpvrs, encountering: at table or eiso wliore. Killing oil'time in the parlor is not to be taken in too seriuus part, not to be consider ed ns indicating any special prtferui.ee which requires to be "followed up.' If ll-** young la dy chooses to express an interest in any paitic ular species of amusement, we suppose that she is at perfect liberty to do so; but il she grows enthusiastic on the subject with a view ol scou ring nn escort thereto, we have no doubt that the gentleman is fully justified in holding nimseir inuinv. cm w eliu appeal. Query:-*-"I have had n dispute about the wold jtiisciiti when written on the hack "1 c note. I contended that it signified and was "pre-scnt, ' to offer, or the act of presentinp.? The other "party held that it was "pres ent," not absent. I'icasu give me ?h? proper pi enun ciation, nnd: why it is used' . An*irer:?The word is pronounced pres-cnt, Querent with lirst syllable,) and was originally used to siguifv that the note was sent by hand, and not l.v mail. At present it can scarcely lx) said to possess a more definite popcrty than the , ommon suffix "K-q ," appended l.v courtesy to n gentleman's name. Query:?"If n gentleman offers liimseff to a lady, and is refused, has be a risht to demand of her a reason f >r so doing, and if she refusua to give any, could it be construed as nu insult? Arititer: ?In all such matters the lady is her own judge, and to her sense of propriety you will find it wise to defer. Iler silence may be kindly meant, and an explanation would no doubt often disclose reasons for her refusal that mtelii be lesi. -.1.1.. *i.?? ? mere negative without reason furnished. Query:?A literary friend asserts that there is no such thing as absolute 01 ipimlity and that thereto! C, all charges of plagiarism are absurd. A nttcrr:?V our ft lend takes an extreme view of the matter. He might ?s well say theie is no such tiling as property, because any and every species is an aggregate of atoms, drawn lojjeth er from various source*. Accidental coinciden ces, and even intentional coveyanccs ol ideas, are'numerous enough, and occur even in w: iters of acknowledged genius; but no one, therefore, denies that they are men of genius, or fai s to discern that, taken altogether, their wnuags differ essentially licm those of other authors.? It is the "law of a man of genius to be original. He imitates by accident, and borrows as the ex ception. The' plagiarist steals, as it w ere, for a living, andean never he honest or original, even by accident. The entire manner ol an author is quite as much his own, and as clearly il;-tin gulshes him from nil otller writers, as any sep iii ate or so cial Ideas or fancies which lie iuav enunciate. j Ssorr-Dirrtso a mono tub Woven or tiik SoCTll.?A correspondent of the Petersburg (^ a.) i Express says: "There arc, perhaps, in our state, one hundred and twenty-live thoui-nnd women, leaving out of the account those who have not cut their teeth, and those who have lost ll*=m from age. <? this number, eighty per cent, may be saf.-ly set down as siiufE-dippers. Every Jiveof lhi.-e Wi.l u*e a Wo ounce jmper of snuff jier day that is, to the hundred thousand dippers, two thousand five hundred pounds a day, amounting iu one year to the ciioi inous quantity of nine hundred and twelve thousand ponuds. In ll.is number ot Minti dippers are included all ages, colors and conditions." This practice is generally prrvalent among the iKjor whites, and is akin to the practice or clay or diit eating, which only they, savages end pol iticians, are known to indulge in. It is ptcva lent in the pine districts of >'.Hth Carolina, and ill many portions or &>uth Carolina, Geo'pia, Alabama, Florida, ai-1 eastern Tennessee, il may be ti^us r'e-oribed: "A female siiutf-dipjicr takes a short sink, and welting it. dips it into her snuff liox, ni.d then rubs the gathered dust all ab..ut her mooth into the intersticc* of her teeth, io., wbe?e she allows it to remain uutii its stitnglli is fully ?V fOtbed. l>titers bold the stick thus haded with snuff in the cheek a la quid ol tobacco, at-d stick it with a decided relish while engaged in their ordinary arinntioiB^ \vhpr btlters simply ill I ilio -mouth with the snoff, find thus irritate to nil In tents nml |iur|in?s ih?* clii'ithi: pr^nsitiw t?f tliemvii. In thenlocr.ce i>f MiuiF, tobacco in tSiu |?Iuj: nr K-sT L> invariably resetted U) as a ??iu.ti> tot?." Oriental betel-cheninfr, and the Japanese inn of lilsclnir' tho treth of nmrrird la'iie*; are the lieisth of eli'jranre compared to snoll dipping. The liahit leads to a i-pecdv decay <-f the t-.-eth, ami to nerfou-s disorders<?{cverj kin '. Thoso who indulge in it became h*ps in appta - anr.? at a very rnrlv ?ce. I ALCKKT L. *MH. ii?t ,iC?
