From Dr. Rush's "Inquiries Most of the facts which I shall deliver upon this subject are the result of observations, made during the term of five years, upon persons of both sexes, wfio had passed the 80th year of their lives. I intended to have given a detail of the names, manner of life, and occupations, and other circumstances of each of them ; but, upon a review of my notes, I found so great a sameness in the history of most of them, that I despaired, by detailing them, of answering the intention which I have purposed in the following essay. I shall, therefore, only deliver the facts and principles, which are the result of the inquiries and observations I have made upon thifc subject. The circumstances which favor Ion gevity arc, 1. Descent from long-lived ancestors. I have not found a single instance of a person who has lived to be 80 years old, in whom this was not the case. In some instances I found the descent was only from one, but, in general, it was from both parents. The knowledge of this fact may serve, not only to assist in calculating what are called the chances of lives, but it may be made useful to a physician. He may learn from it to cherish hopes of his patients in chronic', and in some acute diseases, in proportion to the capacity of life they have derived from their ancestors.* 2. Temperance in eating and drinking. To this remark I found several exceptions. I met with one man of 81 years of age, who had been intemperate in eating; and four or five persons, who had been intempe rate in driilking ardent spirits. They Had all been day-laborers, or had deferred drink- 1 ing until they began to feel the Wg or of old I age. I did not meet with a single person, who had not, for the last forty Or fifty years of their lives, used tea, coffee, and bread and butter, twice a day as part of their diet. I am disposed to believe that those articles of diet do not materially affect the duration of human life, although tliey evidently impair the strength of the system. The duration of life does not appear to depend so much uj>on the strength of the body, or upon the quantity of its excitability, as upon an exact accommodation of stimuli to each of them. A watch spring will last as long 39 an anchor, provided trie forces which are capable of destroying both are always in an exact ratio to their strength. The use of tea and coffee in diet seems to be happily suited to the change which has taken place in the human body by sedentary occupations, by which means less nourishment and stimulus arc' required than formerly, to support animal life. 3. The moderate exercise of tlie understanding. It has long been an established truth, that literary men (other circumstances being equal) tire longerlived than other pcopie. But it is not necessary that the understanding should be employed upon philosophical subjects, to produce this influence upon human life. Business, politics, and religion, which are the objects of attention of men of all classes, impart a vigor to the understanding, which, by being conveyed to every part of the body, tends to produce health and long life. - 71 - f T? rpf. _ anger, in these cases, was probably obvia- fi ted by less decrees, or less active exercises, c cf the understanding, or by the delect or c weakness of the other stimuli which keep c up the motions of lite. h 5. Matrimony. In the course of my inquiries, I met with only one person beyond g eighty > ears of age who had never been li married. I met with several women who r had borne from ten to twenty children, and a suckled them all. I met with one woman, t a native of Herefordshire, in England, who c was in the 1 OOtli year of her age, who had borne a child at 00, and frequently suckled t two of her children (though born in succcs- i sion to each other) at the same time. She had passed the greatest part of her life over i; a washing tub. Of forty peroons who died in different parts of the world, above 80 i vcars of age, in the year 1806, there was v but one of them that had not been married. J A majority of them were women. c 6. Emigration. I have observed many t instances of Europeans who have arrived 1 in America in the decline of life, who have 1 acquired fresh vigor from the impression of t our climate, and of new objects, upon their c bodies and minds; and whose lives, in con- > sequence thereof, appeared to have been prolonged for many years. This influence < of climate upon longevity is not confined to the United States. Of 100 European Spaniards, who emigrate to South America . in early lite, 10 live to be above 50, whereas but 8 or 9 native Spaniards, and but 7 In- ! dians, of the same number, exceed the 50th 1 year of human life. 7. I have not found sedentary employ- 1 mcnls to prevent long life, where they are : not accompanied by intemperance in eating 1 or drinking This observation is not con- t I fined to literary men, nor to women only, in . whom longevity-, without much exercise of body, lias been frequently observed. I met 1 with one instance of a weaver; a second of | a silversmith : and a third of a shoe-maker; among the number of old people, whose his- f tories have suggested these observations. . 8. I have not found that acute, nor that ( all chronic diseases shorten human life, j Dr. Franklin had too successive tomicas ; [abscesses] in his lungs before lie was 40 4 years old. I met with one man beyond 80, * who had survived a- most violent attack of ^ the yellow fover; a second who had had 1 i Me l>nnos fractured bv falls, and oV> Wilt* v* v ^ in frays : and many, what had been frequent- * ly allected by intermittents. I met with one 1 man of 86, who had all his liie been subject ( to syncope [fainting]; another, who had * for 50 years hcen occasionally atfeeted by a 1 cough,* and two instances of men who 1 had been afflicted for forty years with obstinate headaches, f I met with only one r person beyond 80, who had ever been afFec- ( ted by U disease lit tlio stotriaeli; afrd in liim it arose from an occasional rupture. Mr. 4 John Strange ways Hutton, of this city, who * died in 1793, in the 109th year of his age, 1 informed me, that lie had never puked in his life. This circumstance is the more remarkable, as he passed several years at sea 1 when a young man4 These facts may i serve to extend our ideas of the importance ' of a healthy state of the stomach rn the an- ] 1 ' ?*? ? imal economy; ana mereoy 10 uuu iu our knowledge of the prognosis' of diseases, and 1 in the chances of human iife. (a) ? 9. I have not found the loss of teeth to J aflect the duration of homan life, so much as might be expected. Edward Drinker, j who lived to be 103 years old, lost his teeth ( thirty years before lie died, from drawing j the hot smoke of tobacco through a short pipe. Dr. Sayrc, of New Jersey, to whom I ' am indebted for several valuable histories ; of old persons, mentions one man, aged 81, j whose teeth began to decay at 16, and another of 90, who lost his teeth thirty years before lie saw him. The gums, by becom- 1 ing hard, perform, in part, the office of teeth. But may not the gastric juice of the stom. ach, like the tears and urine, become acrid by age, and thereby supply, by a mere dissolving power, the delect of mastication * This man's only remedy for his cough was the fine powder of dry Indian turnip, and honey, t 1 t Dr. Thierv says, that he did not find the itch, t ulio-lit of the h>i>rosv. to prevent Ion- < V* ? o A ' A | ?. govity. ( | The venerable olii man, whoso history first ] suggested this rsmark, was born in Now York 1 in the year 1G81. His grandfather lived to be t 101, but was unable to walk for thirty years be. j fore he died, from nn excessive quantity of f.it. j His mother died at 91. His constant drink3 water, beer, and cider. He had a fixed dislike to spirits of all kinds. His appetite was good; and { he ate plontitully during the last years of hi.<? life. Ho seldom drank any thing between his meals. ( He never was intoxicated bat twice in his life, c and that was when a boy, and at sea, where he ^ rcmombers perfectly well to have celebrated, by a * feu do joye, the birth-day of queen Anne. Ho L was formerly afflicted with the headacho and j giddiness, but never had a lever, except from the , sinall-pox, m tlie course of his life. His pulse was slow, but regular. He had been* twice mar- c riod. By his first wife he had eight, and by his 1 second seventeen children. One of them lived S to be 83 years of age. He was about fivo feet s nine inches in height, of a slender make, and j carried an erect head, to the last year of his life. ( (a) Tiiey also teach the great importance 11 - ^ ? -1 ? ?

N ? <*. r*quam:nuy oj 1 tmpcr. i au > iuivm and irregular action of the passions tends to . wear away the springs of life. Persons who live upon annuities in Eu. rope have been observed to be longer lived, in equal circumstances, than other people. This is probably occasioned bv their being exempted, by the certainty of their subsist tence, from those fears of want, which so frequently distract the mind, and thereby weakan the bodies, of old people. Life, rents have been supposed to have the same influence in prolonging life. Perhaps the desire of life, in order to enjoy for as long a time as possible that property, which cannot be enjoyed a second time by a child or relation, may be another cause of the longevity of persons who live upon certain in/ niripti. It is n faM thit flic rlpctronf lifn iq ?- ,w VWCtb IIIV V V* ? ?' ? a Veiy powerful stimulus in prolonging it, especially when that desire is supported by hope. This is obvious to physicians every day. Despair of recovery is the beginning of death in all diseases. But obvious and reasonable as the effects of equanimity of temper are upon human life, there are some exceptions in favor of passionate men and women having attained to a great age. The morbid stimulus of Dr. Franklin, who died in his 64th year, was descended from long-lived parents. His father died at 89, and his mother at 87. His father had 17 children by two wives. The doctor informed me, that he once sat down as one of 11 abult sons and daughtars at his father's table In an excursion he once made to that part of England from whence his family migrated te America, he discovered, in a graveyard, the tomb-stones of seve- 1 rl persons of his name, who had lived to be very old. These persons ho supposed to have been his ' ancestors. ( hi rom the loss of teeth ? Analogies might asily be adduced from several operations >f nature, whicli go forward in the animal conomy, which render this supposition lighly probable. 10. i have not observed lahhicss, or ray hairs, occurring in early or middle ite, to prevent old age. In one of the histoies furnished me by Dr. Sayre, I Find an iccount of a man of 84, whoso hair began o assume a silver color when lie was but >ne and twenty years of age. 11. More women live to be old than men, >ut more men live to be very old than wonen. I shall conclude this head by the followng remark. Notwithstanding there appears in the htinan body a certain capacity of long life, vhich seems to dispose it to preserve its exstence in every situation; yet this capacity Iocs uot always protect it from premature lestruction; tor among the old people whom examined, I scarcely met with one who tad nbt lost brothers or sisters in early and niddle life, and who were born under circumstances equally favorable to longevity vith themselves. On the Employment of Chloride of Lime in the Treatment of P*ora. [Itch.] Taken"from a French Medical Journal. Professor Pantouctti, of the University of ?avia, litis lately published a statement of he happy results obtained by himself, both n private and public practice, from the apilication of the chloride of lime in thctrcatnent of psora. The Professor has treated eight cases ofitch, all of which were received nto the Hospital of Pavia, about the same jeriod with this remedy. Out of this mini>er, five were cured in from six to eight days rom the commencement of the treatment, ind the rest in a few days more. The manner of using it, is to prepare a loion, composed in adult cases of from one >unce to an ounce and a half of the chloride, o a pint of common water, and in children, )f one ounce of the chloride to the same quantity ot water, witn which uiu pai? ejected are to be washed three or four times i day. Every third day the patient should akc a warm bath, for the double purpose of dcansing the surface of the body, and washng off the crust of lime, which may adhere o it. The warm bath moreover, tends to ;ooth the irritation, which this remedy someimcs occasions, as when the quantity of the diloride has been too great in proportion to he water, or its application too frequently epeated, or when the skin itself was origiwily in a state of irritation. [The Chloride of lime may be had for not nore than 25 cents per pound from any Iruggist; It will keep for years in a well topped botilo. if the wash is found to irri ate the skin, it may be weakened by adding ivater.J A discovery was made by a chemist ol bis city a few days ago, which rs worth ecording. He had been slung by a wasp n the hand, and while suffering extreme oain, had occasion, in the course of his business to put his hand into a jar of potash, .vlien the pain instantly left him. Surprised it this effect he determined to try an experincnt to prove the efficacy of the remedy, md accordingly on the following day he xiught a bee, which he irritated until it stung lim. He applied a drop of liquor potassrc o the wound, and the pain he had previously bit was instantly removed.?Bait. Gar. If the liquor potassac should not be al iand, a strong solution of potash, or pearllsh, or a little strong fresh ley might pei * laps answer. The only difference between he u Liquor Potass?" and the ley, is, thai he former is stronger and purer. Cher. Ga7. Rl'RAL ECOXOMY. TIIE SILK CLLTIRE. The culture and manufacture of siik in his country is assuming a deep interest. But it has attained in a \cry small degree he importance it is yet destined to acquire; md years must elapse, and the subject receive far greater attention1, before the dcnand for silk goods in our own country done, can be nearly supplied from domesic manufacture. But the fact that there is i gradual and constantly increasing atlcnion to the subject, shows that it is advancing owards its place as an extensive and imlortant branch of American industry. The history of the silk culture in this rountry, shows that the better it is understood,, the more it is appreciated ; and is 'ull of encouragement to those who are en rag:-.ig in the business. The first attempt 11 America was made in Virginia so early is the year 1623; but it was not carried >n to any extent until after the middle of he last century. About that time, and for overal years subsequently, it received conidcrable attention in the Southern States; he quantity manufactured, however, coninuetl small. Early attention was paid to ts culture in Pensylvariia; In 1770, Susanh Wright, of Lancaster county, made a iie<^ of mautua of sixty yards in length, of icr own cocoons; in the same year, a filaLire was established at Philadelphia,- and i 1771, 2300 lbs. were brought thereto eel. The business however declined du. ingthc Revolutionary war. In Conneccut the business was early commenced1 on' lirm basis, and has since been constantly lcreasing. The white mulberry and tlie ilk worm were first introduced into the )wn of Mansfield in Windham county, y Nathaniel Aspinwall in the year 1760, nmediately after which an extensive nur2ry of the trees was planted by him in ,rew Haven, and afterwards disscmniinated throughout the state. In 1709 two hundred pounds of raw silk were made in 4he single town of Mansfield alone. In the year 1810, the value of the sewing silk, made in the three counties of New London, Windham and Tolland, was estimated by the I'nitcd States Marshal at 823,503; but the value of the domestic fabrics made from the refuse silkj which may fitirly be estimated at half that sunn was not taken into consideration. In 18^5, the value of the silk and of the domestic fiibrics manufactured in the county of Windham had doubled. During all this time, the only machines for making the sewing silk, were the common domestic large and small wheels: with ltetter machinery, sewing silk of a superior quality M ould have been made, and at less expense. Three fourths of the families in il/ansfield M erc engaged in raising silk, and made annually from 5 to 10,20, and 50 pounds in a family, and one or two, cacli 100 lbs. in a season. In 1832, four or five tons of raw silk were grown there, worth $35,000; when manufactured into sewing silk this would be worth about $60,000. Four or five of the adjacent towns each produced about as much as that town. A bout the same time, the quantity of silk raised in \Vindham ai'ftf Tolland counties, was sufficient to give con. stant employment to 50 looms wer'vingfivc, . yards each per day or in all about 75,000 yards |>er year. In our own state the subject has not, until recently, received much attention; during tlie late war however, one individual, the late Samuel Chidsey, of Cayj uga county, sold sewing silk of his own manufacture to the amount of 6O0jdollaf3 a I year, raised from trees of the white mulberry introduced by himself at the first settletlement of the country. A few years ago, atone establishment in Pennsylvania, (Economy,) one hundred silk handkerchiefs, and an equal number of vest patterns, of superior quality to foreign articles, were made annually. In Massachusetts, Jonathan II. /'~kk rinnlioni fhn r?iilfiirr> of silk in 182G, and lias since that time extended his operations so much as to be in tlie habit of bringing into the Boston market, American silk manufactured to the amount of one hundred dollars per week, the year round. His spinning machine, propelled by water power, is capaplc of preparing annually, 1000 lbs. of silk for the loom. In the same town there are a number of silk looms, as well as in several neighboring towns, which arc worked by hand, and in most instances by persons in their own abodes. We have deemed it proper to exhibit this :' view of what has been done already, in or-* j der that those who are deterred from entering ! upon tlie business on account of supposed difficulticsmay see that they have been sursurmounted by others, with ease. The subject has indeed been supposed to bo involved in much mystery, and a great deal has been written upon it.?' | Many persons on reading the elaborate ar11 ticles which have been published, deseri1 bing so minutely every process, are led to ; suppose the business intricate and difficult. To the inexperienced it must indeed be , new, because it is ditil-rent from most other I pursuits, and has none similar to it to serve as a guide; but when once understood, it ? becomes quite simple, and is as easy ; ! n?a rnisinrr nicrs nnd nnnlfrv. It is onlv no. ? ??d r p i . j ; ccssary, during the short period of the ex! istenco of the worms, to supply their wants j and protect them from injury, to shelter I them from the storms, cold, and wind, and ,! ro feed them with proper food when hungry,' ' | and there can be little danger of success, j Many indeed have been entirely successful ' j who have never had the advantage of see-; ing a single silk establishment; and nearly . all in this country have been mostly guided by their own experience. Yet in many respects, American articles thus produced have been found fully equal, and often superior to foreign ones. In Economy, Pa. it has been several years since large quantities of silk have been manufactured into vestings, handkerchiefs, and other broad articles; which have been reeled, dyed, spun woven and finished at that place; and in T~\ . * -1-. i ii i. uayion, vmo, uomcsuc suk. imnuKurcuiuis have been made of most excellent quality, the product of the native mulberry, where the process of winding, reeling, doubling, twisting, &*c. were performed by machinery, principally of the invention of the proj prietor of the establishment* Sewing silk i of all colors, is a very common article of manufacture in all parls of the country. The following calculation of the labor attending an<i connected with the culture of silk, in Connecticut, is by John Fitch, Esq. of Mansfield, in this state. One acre of full grown trees, set ono and a half rods apart, will produce forty pounds of silk. The labor may be estimated as follows : For the tiircc first weeks after the worms j are hatched, one woman, who is acquaint! cd with the business, or children who would be equal to such a person. For the next twelve or fourteen days, five bauds, or what would be equal tc five, if performed by children. This period . finishes the worms,. For picking off the balls, and reeling the | silk, it will require about the same amo'urtt 1 of labor, for the same length of time, as j the last mentioned period, which may be performed by women ancF children." The aforsaid labor and board may be estimated at eighty dollars, spinning the silk at thirtyfour dollars; forty pounds of silk, at the lowest cash price, is now worth two hundred dollars?which makes the following result * 40 lbs. silk, at at 85 per pound 8200 00 ; | Labor and board 890 00 i Spinning, 34 00 114 00 ] Nctt profit per acre, 886 03 0 The principal part of the .labor may be a performed by women and children. But o where the business is carried on to a con. n siderable extent, it is considered more pro. r< fitable to employ some men for the last pe. ti riod of the worms. " c It is now believed by many, that if in. tl stead of transplanting the trer~, in the or. fl chard form, as in the above estimate, they tl are placed in rows about eight feet apart t and twb ofr thrfcc feet in the row, by proper4 t care and culture, five times the amount i may b'e raised front an acre. Bui even on c the supposition in the above estimate, (which ( experiment has proved to be very tnodef- t ale,) how can an acre of land be made to t yield a greater profit? If the rockiest c towns in Connecticut produce annually sev: t cnty or eighty thousand dollars ; why may t not the more fertile regions further west do < /* /ii OJ C I as mucn f i^miaren may mane tnotv irom i an acre of mulberry trees, than men can t make from an acre of wheat or corn. i Perseverance and judgment are required ' for success in this, as well as in every branch of business; and those who engage , in the work must be prepared for some disappointments at the eomrrtenccmeut, for experience is always necessary in every undertaking: Ilut difficulties will soon be overcome by practice. Competition cannot affect it; except for the better; for the greater the number of cocoons produced, flie greater will be the inducement for the erection of silk filatures and manufactories of the best construction, which will not only cheapen the labor but, incrcaso materially the value by improving the quality of the articlesr Nor cari there be any danger of the market becoming soon, overstocked, while ten or twelve millions of dollars worth are annually consumed in the United States; besides which millions of dollars worth of raw silk are yearly imported into France and England to supply the manufactories. Gcnesscc(N. Y.) Farmer. [From the sarae.] cdlture of Rata Baga* DY JAMES HOUGHTON. Mr. Tucker: I observe an article in your Gencsscc Farmer, No. 43, of the current volume, on the culture of the Ruta Baga, or Swedish Turnip, by J. H. Gibbon, wherein he states that 300 bushels to the acre may be raised with a permanent crop of wheat, rye or barley, after the last dressing. I have this sea son grown about an acre of Kuta liaga; and 1 have this day measured off a squarerod of the piece, and it contained five bushels, or at the rate of 800 bushels per acre; and taking each bushel at 06 pounds, winch is the weight, gives 44,800 pounds, or 22 tons 40 pounds per acre. I hesitate not to say, that the crop may be increased by good care to 10 or 1200 bushels per acre. Mine was scarcely more than half attendec! to?tho ground was in potatoes last year, and was plonghed in December after taking up the crop. In May I ploughed it again, and sowed it in carrots; but the seeds tailed entirely. I then ploughed it up again, aiM I harrowed it. so as to frive a irood mellow surface. On June 2?'3d, with Robins' drill harrow, I sowed it in ruta baga, one pound to the acre, the rows 18 inches apart. I hoed them once in August, and this was all the attention they had. Now the rows to be 12 inches apart is far enough, and in thinning out leave the plants 12 inches apart also?this is standing thick enough.I have heard many farmers say they nc. vcr could succeed with this crop, or turnips generally, unless upon a piece of new cleared land; I can tell them with truth, if they will give up their lamentable jXTseverancc in manuring the public road by letting their' cattle and cows lie about all night,-(as is too often the case, to the great annoyance of travellers,) and yard them at night, or give them a patch of an acre close to the barn during the winter coming, which will save them the trouble of hauling it?in the spring" plough it so as to have a mellow surface by the harrow before sowing, and about the 20th of June sow it as I state, and soon after they are in the fourth leaf, hoe them and thin them, and ns soon os you see weeds growing, hoe them again, which, if left a week too long, must materially injure the crop?on the other hand, if done in season, one man can hoc them in a day; I will guarantee them 800 to 1200 bushels per acre. If farmers would turn their attention to root crops more than they do, they would find it incredibly to their advantage?their cattle would be kept in far better order, and at a vast deal less expense, than buying" mill food for them, which, in comparison, is poor stuff*. Yours respectfully, ' James IIougiiton. Carthage, Nov. 2,1835. SCENE IN CONGRESS. j The following vivid sketch of the recent i exciting Debate in the House of Reprcseu- i tatives, is from the Bal imorc Patriot of 1 January 22. < Mr. Adams commenced by alluding to i the declarations which bad recently been t made in another place* that to that House t belonged the responsibility of loosing the Fortification Bill lie went on to anirnad. I vert upon the opinions and declarations , which had been made in that place ^ which a he said were untrue and not warranted by tl facts. As he began to grow severe, the n Speaker reminded him that the rules of the t< House did not permit a member to animad- n vert upon the proceedings of tho Senate, n Mr. Adams said ho did not say any thing q about the Senate; he spoke of & place?he w did not say what place*; it was left for the hi members of that House to associate in their si minds the Senate of the United States or J al ny other body with that place thathespok6 f? &c.

And true nougli the orator began to bear down upon he Senate with renewed sarcasm. . Mht iercernow called him to carder and stated he point of order. The Speaker decided hat he had'no authority to put a construciori upon Mr. Adam s words, and there, ore, as he did tjot name the Senate, he :ould not say that he waS out of order.?

Before this how. ever, he said as it appeared to give gentlemen so much disqtnetpde, for him to allude to the senate, he could transfer hisplace to tlie office of the Rational Intelligencer.? (Here was ah aticllbfe laugh.)', In that paper he said he found a a prodigious orgument going to fathef that House with the loss of the Fortification . Pin, op the last night of the last session, , charging that * House with subserviency and manworship. He went on commenting upon the great speech recently delivered by Mr. Webster in tlio Senate, in the most severe and cutting rnanficr; denying its assertions, running .out against im positions and ridiculing itp arguments, with tjfiefljendoys sarcasm and indignat'o;\' Once roofe Mr." Adams was caHcd to order. Considerable confusion and great sensation' prevailed: Mr. Wise hqfed gentleman would be permitted to co on, out of order or in order. He wished him to divulge, all he knew opon this important subject.?If ever there was a time when it bchovbd men to speak out, it was now tfpon this question, let it cut where it might, whether the Executive, the Senate, the House, the Speaker of the House, or the Chairman of the Coirimittec of Ways and Means. .It was time to speak out and let the truth be heard!
