By ma king proportions along the central path of the eclipse, of the intervals of Greenwich time, and pFotracting the hour lines at righe angles, the time and phases of the eclipse may be found for very nearly any place in the United States, observing to reduce the Greenwich time to that of the place of ob- servatiOn.
 This eclipse will be visible over every part of the North America continent and West Indies, and will be seen as far south as the city of Quito in South Amer ica.-Jour. Com. @ <.
 SWgar.-Nature seems 10 have implant- ed love for this aliment in all children, as # 1t were on purpose to defend them from those diseases which are produced by worms. Dr. Rush knew gentleman in Philadelphia, who early adopted his opin- ion, and who, by indulging large family of children tn the use of sugar, has pre- served them all from the diseases usually occasioned by worms.
 It was formely alleged, that the eating of sugar destroys the color of, and spoils the teeth this proves to be mistake, for no people on earth have finer teeth than the negroes in Jamaica.
 In the West Indies,' says Dr. Mosely, the negro children, from crude vegetable diet, are much afflicted with worms. In crop time, when the canes are ripe, these children are always sucking them. Give negro infant piece of sugar cane to suck, and the impoverished milk of his mother is tasteless to him. This salubri- ous luxury soon changes the appearance worms are discharged his enlarged belly and joints diminish, his emaciated limbs increase; and if canes were always ripe, he never would be diseased. I have often seen old, scabby, wasted negroes, crawl from their bottom houses, apparently half dead in crop time, and by sucking canes all day long, they would soon become strong, fat, and sfeeky. The restorative power of sugar, in wasted and decayed habits, is recorded by several physicians in different parts of the world. | have known many people for advanced in pul- monary consumption, recovered by the juice of the sugar cane.
 INDIAN ELOQUENCE.
 The following is an extract from the. .ad- dress of half-braed Choeiaw, citizen Of Mississippi, aE Jackson, in that Ssat6, Oia the l7th ut. s~s s s7r
 FsNow Citizens: I was born in the South. first inhaled the vital air in Mis- sissippi and the breeze whichno sweeps by us may soon rustic among the scenes of my earliest recolIections. To my young eyes, the bluo skies, the verdant plains. and murmuring s,reamlets of my native land were as paradise, and could imag- inc no spot on earth more glorious. In my earlier wandevings in far-of land, the opening flowers of spring, and the balmy gales of summer, continued to remind me of the fragrant South, and I still sighed for the home which was. to restore me 10 the cline of my nativity. What have felt. others feel: and if, with the Indian blood coursing through my veins, Ia blood. be it without blush, I still cling with fond re- gret to the "reminiscences ofmy native land; what think you, must be the feelings ofmy kindred, who are about to take last and reluctant leave of the soil oftheir nativity, the cline of their earliest recollection y- Think you, my friends, that they feel not as deeply as you would under similar cir- cumstances Think you, that although the outward form may not betray the in- ternal anguish, their heart-striDgs do not quver at the thought of taking last and eternal adieu of the land of their fathersy 2. Think you, that the tear will not start un- bidden from the eye of the aged warrior. and that the cries of desoiate women will not rise on the gale An imagine not that they arc without feeling, because they speak in strange tongue, and cannot give adequate expression to that feeling. in- ternal fires burn the longer and the morS intensely for being confined and the feel- ing of anguish is not the less keen, nor of despair the less hopeless, for the lack of language to give it utterance.
