CULTURE AND MANUFACTURES OF
SILK. In the cultivation of the Null
berry and the rearing of the silk worm
there are no difficulties which cannot
be overcome with very little study
and observation. So simple and easy
is the management of the worm. that
children can readily be taught to give
1t all the assistance and attention me-
cessary to its comfort and the compile
ton of its labors. We reared the
silk worm ourselves for three years,
when boy, and we can truly say that
it was the most amusing employment
we were ever engaged in. We have
ever reverted to the time, as the most
pleasant Of our childhood. two
trees that were planted when the Null
berry was first introduced into New
England, we reared from five to six
thousand worms Of season, and with
out any Of the knowledge which is to
be obtained from books Of foreign
writer's on the subject, orof the practi-
cal information which has been sent
forth to the American public within
the past few years. Our own expert
ence induce US to invite all those who
are fond ofinnocent, pleasant, and at
the same time profitable employment,
to turn their attention to the culture
Of the Mulberry and the rearing ofthe
silk worm. Our climate and soil are
well adapted to the business, and those
who engage in it will be abundantly
for their labors. Calhoun

As the tide of population rolls on

which its districts become inhabited

dages Of the Union instead Of controIl-

ss Ca practicable 8: .. listen tendency ii be-
comes the policy Of the Atlantic board
to apply their energies to manufactu-
ring pursuits, and to preserve a COM
n,unity of interests by opening COM
munications with the interior. Let
the trade of the Far West once take
the direction of the Mississippi, instead
Of passing alengthe Lakes and finding
Its way to 1.-THE sea by the communica-
tons that may be formed with them
by rail roads and canals, & all identity
of interest betweent that section Of coun-
try and the middle and Northern
States will be lost forever. The ne
cessity deepening avenues such as those
to which we allude, is just as great in
a political as a commercial point of
view.-The peculiar superiority of
these connections between the Allan
tic and the Lakes and the Upper Mis-
sissippi, consists in the shortness of
the distance across, compared with
that by the way of the Mississippi, and
the healthiness of the ports of the
Northern and Middle States; to which
may be added, also, their great access
sibility from Europe, To illustrate
these advantages it is only necessary
to refer to the differece of time that it
will take to pass from Havre or Liver
pool via Baltimore, Philadelphia or
New York, to the Upper Mississippi
country, should the connections spoken
of be made, compared with that which
will be required by the route by the
way of New Orleans.-Let US then
connect ouselves with the Westby eve

LoNDON.-The following paragraphs,
showing the vast extent and population OF
London, are from the lately published work,
entitled the "Great Metropolis"
"The area of the great metropolis is cal
culated to exceed $4,000 square acres. 1t
is divided into l55 parishes; and the COM
puted number of its courts, lanes and alleys,
and rows, is 10000. The houses are be-
lieved to be $50, 900 in number, the rental
of which is 47,000,000 sterling. The
population, 2,000,000!
''In proceedir along the great thorough
fares, the stranger is astonished at the vast
crowds OF people he meets. Whichever
side of the street he is on, in whatever dl-
rection he looks, he sees nothing on the
pavement but dense mass Of human be-
ings, not stationary or inactive, but all pro-
eeedng on their respective errands with as
much expedition as the crowded state OF
the thoroughlare will allow. In fact when
"A man has nothing to hurry him, it is so
much the custom to walk at duick pace IN
the crowded part of the town, that he ,ap,

brated James Hogg, the 'Euick Shepherd,
observed, on his visit to London, in 1892
that all the folks he saw in the principal
streets seemed as If death himself was fol-

TELEGRAPH-

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Patriot, has the following inter-
estlng statements, in relation to new meth
cd of conveying intelligence. The expert
ment is to be first made between New Or
leans and N. York. 1t is said in the arti-
Gle below that news can be carried from
one to the other of these places in half
an hour!-

formerly of France, but more recently from
Russia, who are now in this city, making
arrangements for the establishment of line
of telegraphs from New York to New Or
leans. Mr.. Gonon and his associate, Mr..
Servell, have after many years application
tofhe subject, invented an important system
of Telegraphs, which casts into the shade
every thing of the same kind that has ever
yet been attempted. By their admirable
plan, they can communicate every kind of
information, word by word, and punctuate
the same, without using more signals than
words, and with as much rapidity as a
person Cdn "--.4-.-A- auen sneak, Tbo,,
have received the most fatterihhRgg eico,y
ment from those literary and scientific gen
tlemen to whom they have explained the
SYSTEM: and not doubt is ascertained that
10 W ill accomplish the purpose of the inven-
tors, and realize all that has been anticipa-
ted from it. Mr.. Gonon assures me that
he will be able to communicate despatch,
of one hundred words, from New York to
New Orleans, in HALF AN HOUR! and
those who are thoroughly acquainted with
the system confirm his promises. How ele-
meutary does every other system appear in
comparison of that which can accomplish
such an object! The Imagination is over
powered in contemplating the consequences
of such an achievement of human ingenu-
ty. Distance is annihilated. Thousands
of miles no longer divide us. We know
on the instant, as il were, the actions, the
wishes, the determinations of our fellow
beings of other states. Fortunate it is that
we live in an age for whose intellectual pro-
gress nothing is too ripe!''

REMEDY FOR INFLUENzA.-The disorder
being one of obstruction of perspiration,
and of the customary excavations, the pro-
per remedies ought to be administered with
out delay on the first appearance of the

to be restored by an early application of
the hot bath, or by the use of sudorifc dill
uents, as hot tea, barley broth, treacle pos
set, mulled and spice wine, or that which
is best of all, basin of warm Cruel at bed

20 to 25 drops of antimonial wine, and 10
