$ v Communicated. FOB THE CURIOUS. What number is it when multiplied by any other single figure and by adding the figures of the product together produces invariably the figure or number 9. Q. For the Fanners* Gazette. We append a few notes to the following communication. Mr. Editor: In your paper of the 1st inst, in noticing a proposition wmcn Mr. aim? of Darlington submitted to the cnnsidefa. tion of the public, you hold these remarks ?We see in the last number of the South Carolina Temperance Advocate the copy of a hill which the author intends to in trcduce into the House of Represcnta lives of this state, next winter, the ohjeci of which is to exempt from liability to bt sold for debts of uny description one hun dredacres of land embracing the debtor's homestead and one hor<*e or mule. Onf wf feur benefits which it is alleged aretr fdtlmr the enactment of such a law, is that fit will improve the character of out Tpoptdtdi&M by establishing and fostering a class of honest yeomanry. Such an expe. nment in the art of improving men% diameter, and infusing honesty intc them, has the merit of novelty at least, If it should succeed the principle will ol course be extended to all property and all debti^ and will entirely supercede the nf hn nlrrijnt Intra r a reformation ill "wv" v* J - , the character of our country most devout. 4v to e wished." What reformation is it, Mr. Editor, ? which you so devoutly wish/ Is it, a* ^ the collocation ofyouraords implies, the exemption of all property from theliahility of paying all debts/ You hardly mear <this; y??u see however, what verbal criticiara may do with your meaning withoui omi tti ng or garbling your words. (1) I agree with the author whose remarks you criticise, in the policy of the proposed measure as well as in the general truth ol his remarks. I do not, however, under?tand him as saying that the measure il adopted will improve the character of our . population hy establishing and fostering a class of konat yeomanry (2) nor do 1 understand him as asserting any proposition which suggests the "experiment in the art . of improving men's character, and infusing honesty into them." hy legislation. He neither utters, nor ({ am -sure,} entertains any such fallacy in mo. nils wr politics as the power of improving men's hearts by legislation. Had you )nc rc* mwnr nun infc juonw iv |>u '<ion ? u Knnatiks smd project of a hill together with f y^rwiFH coinmcK (which i hope you ' mil now do) (3) it would have been manifest to the reader that all the "merit" as well as "novelty" of such a sage'e*weri vuent belonged to the commentator and rot (he author. There is great force in the application of emphasis. You re. member the old phrase "wilt y?n ride to town to-day.* You have misapplied the emphasis, as well as imperfectly quoted. The remark of the author, which voa ( correctly quote is as follows: "It will improve the character of our population hy establishing and fostering a class ot ^ honest yeomanry, with tkose feelings ?j patriotim. and Mtpendene^, sehick resu!\ from permanent nctdemaUs and interest in Ike sod.1' These last words, which you entirely omit, are the emphatic words of the sentence and shew that the "experiment" if to infuse *feelingtof patriotism end inde ? - _ ?i ...n pcmaeace inio men?noi **nonesiy ?iu< you suppose; (legislation cannot do that;) and to improve the character of oar pop illation, not men's character" (4) The author speaks of honest yeomanry not aa contra-distinguished from dishonest yeomanry (5) or dishonest population ol any kind?hut of a class of citizens, wherever found, generally and already honest and not to he mad 1 so hy legislation. The word "honest" which you so much play upon, is in fact, obviously hut a gen. i * - I * l - -1 1 . A! i erai qua my appueti 10 me qescripuon <>i the class of citizens which the authoi would establish and foster. Mark! it i.< not "honesty" which he proposes to es tablish and foster hut a class of yeoman ry "who will, as he supposes, as they gen. erally arc?be honest;" and by the estab. Jiihment and fostering of such a class ol citizens with those feelings of patriotism (1) Our correspondent is smart we know ; we therefore infer that he was only half awake when he penned his criti cism. Otherwise he could not but have seen that the wish which our "words" in their "collocation" express, is that the present need for bankrupt laws might be superceded ; and what the words imply, is that if Mr. Sims's propose .1 experiment should succeed) then, this desirable end would be obtained by 44 the exemption ol all property from liability for debts."? For if the exemption of a part makes a man honest, the exemption of the whole can only the more strongly confirm that honesty. (2) His own very words. (3) They will be found on the fourtl page. (4) We wonder how our corresponded would improve the character of our popu lation otherwise than bv improving . the character of individuals who compose it inasmuch as the plan which he advocate* does wot seem to contemplate the iutro ductio* of foreigners. (5) "Honest yeomanry not as contra distinguished from dishonest yeomanry* is an abstraction rather too iransceuden taJ for our comprehension, and independence, he proposes to improve the character of our population. (6) Your inference, that the tendency of ? the measure would lie to encourage di$* honesty (for that is what you really intend I suppose, and not misrepresentation) is alike unjust to the character of the mcasure?to the principles of former legislation in this state?and the known laws of human nature.(7) \ The project itself provides that all existing contracts shall be exc *pted from its > operation and thus guards against the > fraudulent or dishonest conduct of those who would run in debt with this shield : over them. The creditor is put on his i guard?notice.given to him, so that he r will not extend credit on the faith of such property as the scheme would exempt from levy or sale. No dishonesty, theret! fore is encouraged as against creditors-? > I * n.nloin [ ii\ ' IIIC^ UtIIIHIU VUUICIOIM.^Uy , Again. Former legislation ha* in va.

Do they not, and are they not ' intended to exempt a large part of the 1 stock.holder's estate from the hazzardsof speculation and trade? The liability of 1 the stockholders is limited to the amount ' or twice the amount of their stock. What > is the character of those companies au. i thorized by act of assembly, for purposes I of trade and speculation, with limited responsibilty ? Does not all this species ? of legislation recognize the principle of the measure, in favour of the mercantile and speculating classes of our citizens; > and shall less be done in favor of the ag. 1 ricultural and farming interests? It is ' common to cry down every measure which has for its object the lienefit of ag. Mriculture, as though all other interests | were more deserving of protection. Cot partnerships with limited responsibility may be formed, corporations with the ' s ime principle for banking purposes may I be enacted and no cry of dishonest ten. F dency is raised ; but so soon as the same principle is proposed in a small degree to " be extended to the farmer and his family ' the measure is met with denunciation of i dishonest tendencies. The truth is, the Legislature may well do in this instance what they have often done, in principle, 1 i before, provided the public interests will i be promoted by it. That is the true question.(9) i ?_ (6) The feeling of independence springf ing up in the bosom of an 44 honest yeo. i man" from the consideration that his land . is not liable for his debts, is a moral phe. i nomenoo worthy of attention from the phi. losopher who is curious in such matters. And as to the patriotism generated by the same cause it requires not the ken of prophecy to foretel that it will most com. > monly evaporate with the whiskey for which such patriots are too apt to barter their 44 hundred acres" in this land of free trade and drunkards' rights. (?) n it is "unjust???to the known laws of human nature" to inter that "the tendency of the measure would he to en. 'courage dishonesty" then men are natu' i ally honest, and need not the compulsion I <?f law to render thorn practically so; they _ would of course, every where, pay their debts as far as able to do so, notwithstand* ing any legal exemption of their property 1 from liability. The proposed "measure" J would of course he a dead letter on the statute book and the splendid dreams of ' improvement to be made by it in the 1 si .te of society could never be realized. 8 The gentleman who proposes the 1 law knows that the federal constitution 1 precludes its application to existing con. tracts; but the immorality of applying to contracts made subsequently to its passage would not he a whit the less for being le ; galixed. This would only involve tnesiaie equally with the dishonest debtor in the 1 crime. By a legal fiction a law is construed hy the courts to he an ingredient in every contract on which it hears, al1 though it may never have entered into ' the minds of the contracting parlies.? ^ No man credits another without an exj pectation of being paid. Tiie law may ? exempt debtors, hut an honest man will ' not avail himself of it. If a creditor ' kindly indulges a debtor till his claim is barred by the statute of limitations would ' an honest man, on that account refuse to f pay the claim, knowing it to he just? To 1 do so might l>e consistent with lawyer honesty but not with moral honesty.? 1 The refusal by a debtor to sell his land to ' pay just debts merely because the law does not compel him to do so, would be of 1 precisely the same moral character with 1 * limilntaniifl in liar pieacing uic siuiuic m uiuhuuuiw ??. [ to the recovery of a just debt. A man . who could do either would most certainly i steal his neighbor's purse, or his hogs if | entirely sure that he could not possibly T l>e detected. If such a law as that propo sed were enacted, only rogues would avail t themselves of it. An hoi#st man, or a J man of one particle of proper pride or I self-respect, would repulse with indignation the very suggestion of taking shelter under the pretext that his creditors had 1 been put on their guard against him by a law of the land exempting his property * from liability for his debts. 9 Our farmers have abundant cause to i congratulate themselves that one man ' has at length appeared who is willing to * legislate for their benefit. Their inter' est is now to be advanced by maintaining among them such drunken vagabonds as - with a hundred acres of land and a horse ' or mule are too lazy to keep themselves out of the sheriff's clutches. If the character of our population is to be improved Your supposition, is equally at war with the known laws -of human nature* The measure is to have a prospective operation. Can it then tend to promote dishonesty? Have not ail writers sacred i and profane, in all ages of the world, com curred with the uniform experience of mankind, in representing the character of man as covetous ot property/ That be ; is never satisfied with a little gain, but the more he has the more he craves? A little, so far from satisfying him and damping his exertions, only stimulates hira to exertion to acquire more. How than, without reversing this known law of our nature, can the secured possession of a small farm on which the fanner may by industry, not only support himself and family in comfort but also improve liii circumstances generate a tendency to indolence and dishonesty J Those who are entirely broken down and have nothing may, and often do, become dispirited and indolent. It would seem therefore that the natural tendency of the measure would be, if not to "infuse honesty" in the heart of man, at least to infuse into his . pocket the ability to perform the external and social duty of honesty. In this sense perhaps, the words ol the author are true even in your interpretation of them, in "establishing and fostering an honest yeomanry." They would have the ability to perform their honest obligations.(lO) I might say much more in defence of the measure; but I desist. My object was simply to request you to publish the project of a bill and the author's remarks, and to correct, what I conceived an improper criticism. PEE DEE. by fostering such fellows, why not do it by general taxation, and not at the expense, altogether, of the?r neighbors? This according to our correspondent would not accord with the " former legislation" of the Slate. We cannot exactly see the force of this argument, unless two wrongs make a right. 10 There's logic for you, and philosophy too, more profound than Watts or Whately. or Bacon, or Reid or Brown ever dreampt of. Man's innate covetousness is never satisfied; the more he has the more he strives to increase it: therefore, when an idle spendthrift reduces his miaaDU a oorao la n/l ki?i ituaiill IV a IIUIIVII WU HVIWO ?# vmiUf uin covetousness will, at this point, make him industrious, economical and honest; pro. vided always that the land belongs justly to his neighbors, and is still secured to himself. The reform which much property honestly possessed could not effect, a very little unfairly held, effects-?The greatness of the effect is in the inverse ratio of the strength of the cause Q. E.

TWSBN THE ENGLISH, IBISH Alfl) SCOTCH. Professor Forbes of Edinburgh, has re. rently made a series of experiments upon the physical differences between the Eng. lish, Irish, and Scotch, the results of which cannot be but interesting to our readers^ The Professor made his experiments upon students of the University, attending his class during many years, and therefore, we think they must be accurate. The first attempt was to ascertain the relative heights of a number of men at twenty, five years of age, and he found the result as here exhibited. Ac*. ffaaf.'.t L..I uw?vrti mw t??f? 25 68. 9 inc's. 69. 3. inc's. 70.2 inc's. This shows the Irish uppermost in the scale of stature. Professor Forbes extended his inquiries among the English, Scotch, and Irish students, to ascertain their bodily weight, adding examinations of a similar and mixed class of Belgians. The result was the following: A g?. English. Scotch. Irish. Belgians. f 5 . 152 lb. ; 152 5 lbs. 155 150 lbs. Here again the superiority is with the Irishi the others holding the relative positions as in the case of stature. The next experimyt was in relation to physical power. Age. English. Scotch Irish. Belgians. 25 403 lbs. 423 lbs. 432 lbs. 339 lbs. The relative result in physical energy is about the same, and the experiments altogether, show the Irish in many respects the superior race. Suppose the Professor had called in Doctor Comb, and had taken the dimensions of the heads, could he not have experimented relative to the strength of mind ? Such experiments instituted to learn the relative physical powers of citizens of the cliflere/it States in this country, might be a means of eliciting considerable information, and we are not sure but the time will come when experiments will demonstrate, that climate and local causes, independent of education, influence the mental as well as bodily powers of man. This may be considered somewhat speculative by snch as have thought but little, but it is assuredly a subject of interest. The Agriculturist. Fatal result of Imprudence.?On the 22d tilt. Mr. A. Loomis, porter merchant of new Orleans, was drowned under the following singular circumstances: At.6 o'clock the steamboat Walker left .i :i i e Kt j ttii- ...L:i- u. r me rniirotiu lur m?iiuc?uic, wuue inr. l*? was on board, not intending to go in her. He was engaged in conversation and did notice that the boat had started until about a mile out, when he asked the Cap. tain to return, which being inconvenient was not done; upon which he said he would jump overboard and swim 'back.? This was remonstrated against by several persons, but he persisted, and accordingly got on to the rudder of the boat and leaped into the water with all his clothes on him. He swam sometime with apa> rent ease, when he accidentally lost his hat, for which he coolly tuined back and recovered it. Soon alter this his strength began to fail him, and before assistance could reach hioit from a fishing smack near by, he disappeared. He was an excellent swimmer, and it is thought that he must have been attackted with cramp. Ymkee. Mode of Testing Couragt.?It is welil known that in the time of the old French war much jealously existed betwecri the British and Provincial officers. A British Major deeming himself insulted by General (then Captain) Putnam sent a cha llenge. Putnam instead of giving him a direct answer, requested the pleas, ure of a personal interview with the Ma. |or. He came to Putnam's tent .and found him seated on a small keg, quietly smoking his pipe, and demanded what communication if any, Pu nam had to make. 44 Why you know," said Putnam, It fknf a o/wmi mionvn kl.* VnnlfAA ?k.?^ -ft ill uui n iiiiociaiiig auiihuU| iiiov never Bred a pistol in my life, and you must perceive that if we Bred with pistols you htve an undue advantage of me. Here ire two powder kegs; I have bored a hole, and inserted a slow match in each; if you will be so good as to seat yourself there, I will light the matches, and he who dares to sit the longest without squirming, shall lie called the bravest fellow." The tent was full of officers and men, who were heartily tickled with the strange device of the "old r wolfe," and compelled the Major by their laughter to squat. The signal was given, and the matches light* ed ; Putnam continued smoking, quite in* differently, without watching at all the progressive diminution of the matches? hut the British officer, though a brave fellow, could not help casting longing and lingering looks downwards, and his terrors increased as the length of the matches diminished. The spectators withdrew, one by one, to get out of the way of the expected explosion. At length, the Bre was within an inch of the keg, the Major, jnable to endure longer, jumped up, and drawing out his match, cried out, Put* nam this is wilful murder ; draw out your nacth, i yield."?14 My dear fellow," ;ried Putnam, * don't he in such a hurry, [hey're nothing but kegs of onions!" From the Nations! Intelligencer.. THE "8HOWEB OF FLESH AND BLOOD." Our readers are greatly indebted to the Principal of that excellent institution the Alexandria Boarding School, for the fol* owing scientific elucidation of the phe* imneron in Tennessee designated by the ibove heading: ' Alexandria Boarding School, ) 9 mo. 21, 1841. \ Friends Gaxes <k Seaton : I notice in the Intelligencer of to?day, under the lead of ** Atmospherical Phenomenon," in article from the Nashville Banner, describing what is stated to have been a * shower of flesh and blood," in the vicinity of Lebanon, Tennessee. The same iccouut, or a similar one, has also been ?? published in seveHit other papers. There are many persona of that peculiar temper* ament that is unfavorably affected by intelligence of so unusual and awful a character ; to such it may be a relief to learn that the phenomenon alluded to finds its ready explanation in a well-ascertained fact in the economy of insect#. In the interesting and instructive work of Kntax de Suites, on the 44 Natural History of Insects," are the following remarks, which explain the whole subject t 44 Many species of LepiHojrtera, (But* terflies] when they emerge from the pupa or chrysalis state, discharge a reddish fluid, which, in some instances, where their numbers havo been considerable, has produced the appearance of a shower of blood; and by this natural fact, all those bloody showers, recorded by histori. ans as preternatural, and regarded, where they happened, as fearful prognostics of impending evua, are sirippea ui ineir ierrors, and reduced to the class of events that happen in the common course of Nature. That insects are the cause of these [supposed] showers is no recent discoverv; for Sleidan relates that, in the year 1553, a vast multitude of butterflies swarmed through a great part of Germany, and sprinkled plants, leaves, buildings. clothes, and men, with bloody drops, as if it had rained blood. But the most interesting account of an event of this kind is given by Reaumur, from whom we learn that, in the beginning of July, 1608, the suburbs of Aix, and a considerable extent of country round it, werecovered with what appeared to be a shower of blood. We may conceive the amaze ment and stupor of the populace upon such a discovery, the alarm of the citi zens, the grave reasonings of the learned All agreed, however, in attributing th< appearance to the powers of darkness and in regarding it as the prognostic and precursor of some direful misfortune about to befall them. Fear and prejudice would have taken deep root upon.this occasion, and might have produced fatal effects upon some weak minds, had not M. Peiresc, a celebrated philosopher oi that place, paid attention to insects. A chrysalis, which he preserved in his cabinet, let him into the secret of this mysterious shower. Hearing a fluttering, which informed him his insect had arrived at its perfect state, he opened, the box in which he kept it; the animal flew out, and left behind it a red spot. He compared this with the spots of the bloody shower, and found they were alike. At the same time he observed there was a prodigious quantity of butterflies flying about, and that the drops of the miraculous r?*in were not to be found upon the tiles, nor even upon the upper surface of the stones, but chiefly in cavities and places where rain could not easily come.' Thus did this judiciou* observer * dispel the ignorant fears and terror which a natural phenomenon had caused."?-Vol.'i, page 35.
