THE TEA SHRUB.
To Mr. c. T. Rafne8qNe.

To Mr.. c. p. RafneSgne.
Slh-Having been informed, that in a
settlement of the people called Friends,
on stream called Blue River, near the
Driftwood Fork Of White River, Jack
son county, Indiana, plant is cultivated,
the leaves of which, in every respect,
except the degree Of quality, resemble
GREEN TEA probably Hyson j and,
having seen in the public papers several
letters or essays of yours on the subject
of cultivating the different kind of teas
in America, take the liberty of adj
dressing the above INFORMATION TO you,
in hopes that you will inquire into the
matter, and endeavor to ascertain the
identity Of this plant or shrub with that
of India. The origin of this plant at
Blue River is said to be thus: One of
the neighborhood purchased some tea
few years since, at Louisville, Ky. and
discovering some seeds in the same,
planted them and thus produced this
shrub. My informant who is a credita-
bic person, referred me to Gabriel yNezY-
By, a Friend, who had raised in last
season sufficient for his family use.
shall write to him as soon as can find a
direct conveyance, and on receipt of his
reply hope to be able to give you further
Intelligence on this important subject,
which | hope precludes the necessity of
apology for addressing you.

LONDON, DEC. 50, 1919.


We have inserted from the American
papers some documents relating to the
" state Of domestic slavery" in the North
American republic, which are equally
interesting to the sound statesman and
TO the christian moralist. The existence
of slavery in free republic may plead
the example OF antiquity but it was the
heathens who furnished that example
and among them it may have been JUST
fled by It's efficacy in restraining the saw
age practices OF ancient warfare, when
the captive, if not enslaved, would ne
cessarily have been butchered. But, in
community which boasts at once of
being free and christian, g the most moral
and enlightenment people on earth, as
they call themselves, how the liberation
OF domestic slavery can be palliated;
how 1t can be explained; we must leave
TO those who insist on the continuance of
that blessing as one of their most valued
rights and enJoyments. The negro slave
ry OF the United States, and of the West
Indies, IS the disgrace of the christian
world. The slave population of North
America, however, is confined to certain
states, and we do not apprchend its &C
knowiedged influence on the morals,
happiness, and prosperity of their white
inhabitants, has been such as to make
the congress very anxious to extend the
guilty privilege of slave-ownership be-
yond Its actual limits. The principal
document which we have extracted from
the American journals, is a sketch of the
argument addressed by Mr.. RuFUs KING
to the senate of the United States, on
what is called the Missouri bill, tending
to show that congress, if it cannot extin-
guish the evil in the old states, who sti~
pulated originally for its continuance as
the price OF their accession to the union,
can at least restrain all future states who
may be admitted by the authority of the
supreme Legislature to partnership in
the national sovereignty, from indulging
in this odious and criminal traffic. We
are happy to find that meeting, in fur
therance OF the same views, has been
held in the city of Philadelphia, and at
tended by persons Of the highest respec-
liability, who declared that they were
bound by all the dictates of reason, be-
neVolence, and religion, to oppose with.
their best efforts the extension OF slavery
to states hereafter to be admitted into the
union. A committee of correspondence.
consisting of IS, was then appointed to
circulate the ~ )ceedings ofthe meeting,
and to support by fit publications the
opinions Of its members. IF not wholly
eradicated, therefore, the moral pesti-
lence, there is room for hoping, will be
speedily and severely checked.

FLAX.

Hstory.-This valuable annua, plant
is said to have come originally from those
parts of Egypt Which are exposed to the
inundations Of the Nile. 1t now grows
wild in the fields in the south of ngland,
and is cultivated in large quantities. II
flowers in July.
Linseed contains about one-ffth Of
muciiage, and one-sixth of fixed Gil
The mucilage resides entirely in the
skin, end is separated by infusion or de-
coction; the oil is separated by express
sion. 1t is one of the cheapest fixed
oils; but is generally rancid and nause-
Gus, and unfit for internal use. The
cake which remains after the express
sion Of the oil, contains the farinaceous
and mucilaginous part of the seed, and is
used in fattcning cattle under The name
Of oil-cake.
Medical uae.---Linseed is emollient
and denulcent, the entire seeds are used
in cataplasms, the infusion is much en-
ployed as pectoral drink, and in ardor
urinae nephritic pains, and during the
exhibition of corrosive sublmate.
Linseed abounds with quantity of oil
and muciIage, it yields its mucilage to
water; and infusions Of it sweetened
with sugar or honey, or prepared with
the addition of some liquorice root,
prove good and useful remedies in
coughs and rhcums; and the oil got by
expression may be used as other mild
oils.
Bergins recommends this oil as good
remedy in the lilac passion and volvulus,
it is much employed in manufactures of
different kinds.
PREPARATIONS.
Cure for q recent cough and coid.--.
Put a.large tea-cup full of linseed, with
aquarter of a pound of sun raisins, and
two ounces of stick liquorice, into two
quarts of soft water, and let it simmer
over slow fire till reduced to one
quart; add to it a quarter of a pound of
pounded sugar-candy, table spoonful
of old rum, and table spoonful of the
best white wine vinegar or lemon Juice,
the rum and vinegar should be added as
the decoction is taken; for, if they are
put in at first, the whole soon becomes
fiat and less efficacous, the dose is half
pint, made warm, on going to bed !;
and little may be taken whenever TING
cough is troublesome, the worse cold is
generally cured by this remedy IN tgo
or three days; and, if taken in time, is
considered infalliab!e.

NEWPORT'.

The awful and distressing calamity ct
Savannah must excite the serious attcn-
tion Of all--but more especially the citi-
zens of town like ours, built almost en-
tirely of wood. 1t is painful to reject
on the distress that would cnsue among
US. should our town take FIRE, and under
the impulse Of high wind gaia such an
ascendancy as TO bafle all our Efforts to
extlnguish it, more especially as mos, OF
our wells are nearly dry. 10 the many
other causes which might produce this
disastrous occurrence, may bc added the
fact, that there are many chin,n'es in
towa, which have renamed long time
without sweeping or cleansing. II has
been suggested that il would be advisa-
Bic to employ ono cr more sweepcrs to
80 round to the houses of the poor, and
tAat they should be paid either out oflhe
town treasury OK by voluntary subscrlp-
ton. Would it not be well to make il
an item OF taxation, and that all chimnies
should be regularly clcansed, without a
ny other expense to the proprietors. AT
any rate, 1t appears to be subject that
ought to AWAKEN our serious attention.
1t has been suggested that it would
be well for the. Fire WMdens in this
town, to hold meeting TO consider what
measures ought to be adopted, in case OF
FIRE; to procure suthcicncv OF water, OH
account Of the lowness of the springs.
