by the appearance Of several tipcds in
Broadway, dressed IN the fashion Of Hen
r the Eighth's time. Tho tails Of their
coats are broader than the whole stern
frames OF the wcarers-the pockets are of
a capacity to contain any quantity Of light
goods, and the buttons arc of a 'spaDned

Hnguf, one af the "swelI mob" who vas
sent to the Pcnitentiarv, n few months
since, for stealing napkins from the popu-
Ear hotel in this city, which he awaited
himself Of bis hobn TO abstract. 1t was
then taken up by SIX or seven %tailors, who
have worn the gsrb with commcndahle
perseverance for SIX months, till, at last it
has come into vogue. We have watched

A POSITIVE CURE FOR FEVER #
AGUE, AND BILIOUS FEVER.
A WELL regulated and proportionate qua1l-
IN. tlty Of bile upon the stomach in always
requisite for the promotion Of sound health
it stimulates digestion, and keeps the lntesti-
nal canal free from all distractions. On the
inferior surface Of the liver, is 4 peculiar
bladder, in which the bile ID first preserved,
beng formed by the liver from the blood,
Tiietice it naggte into the stomach and intes-
tines, and regulates the Indigestion. Thus
we see, when there is a deficiency Of hile,
the body il constantly ~custjve. On the other
taht, an oyerabundance Of bile causes fro
duent nausea at the stomach and often pro-
notes very severe attacks OF disease, which
sometimes end in death.
.6foHdt's life Medicines should always be
taken in the early stages Of bilious com
| plants and if pcrsevered in strictly accord
ing to the directions, will positively effect Il
cure.
The mineral medicines often prescribed in
these diseases, although they fnay effect a
temporary cure, at the same time create an
unhealthy state Of the blood, and consequently
tend to promote a return of the very disoase
which they are employed to cure. 1t is then
by the use of plirgatives, exclusively formed
Of vegetable cottpoInds, which possessing
within themselves no deleterious agencies,
which decomposition, combination or altera-
ton can d~evelope or bring into action and,
therefore, capable Of producing no effect,
save that which is desired-that a safe reme-
dy il found.
The Life Pills and Phenir BiHers have
proved to be the most happy in their effects
iii cases Of bilious diseases, of any purely
vegetable preparation ever offered to the pub
lie. If the stomach 10 foul, they cleanse it
by exciting it to throw off its contents if not
they pass to the duodenu1n without exciting
vomiting or nausea in the stomach stimula-
ting the neighboring ~siscera, as the liver and
pancras, so as TO produce a more coplous flow
OF their secrctions into the intestines slim
ulatinR the eXhalent capillaries, terminating
in the inner coat. which an increased flow Of
the useless PARTICLES of the body, foreign
matters or retditied secretions, are completely |
discharged. n

Oranges.

The average crop of an acre Of o.
range trees is from 6 10 5000. When
the Florida war is terminated by the
expulsion of Indians, if ever, there will
come into the market vast tracts Of
land well adapted TO sugar and 10 the
orange and other tropical fruits. There
will be great demand for these lands
from the grain and cotton growing
states bordering on Florida; and slave
labor, in cultivating the orange, will be
more profitable than in the culture Of
cotton or provisions-even more so
than in the culture of tobacco, which
at this time is the best agricultural bu-
siness in this country. A sensible wri-
ter whose name we forget, in an inter>
esting letter TO the Hon. Ii. II. Breck>
enridge, M. B. from Pennsylvania, says
that oranges will yield when cultivated.

On Destroying Rats.

SIR The following is reply to
your correspondents inquiry as to the
best mode OF destroying rats Should
he find either of these methods succeed,
he will oblige US by reply through
your paper.
LIST. Corks cut as thin as sixpences,
roasted or stewed in grease, and placed
in their tracks.
Or-dried sponge in small pieces,
fried or dipped in honey, with a little
oil of rhodium.
Or-bird-lime laid in their haunts,
will stick to thoir fur, and cause their
departure.
If live rat be caught, and well rub>
bed or brushed over with tar and train
oil, and afterwards put TO escape in the
holes of others, they will disappear.
Poisoning is a very dangerous and
Objectionable mode. If any of your
chemical readers could suggest any ve-
ry pungent smell, procurable from sub
stances resembling garlic or asafGtida,
this might be of great use, as this ami
NAL has an extraordinary fneness or
susceptibility of scent witness its ex>
treme prediction for oil of rhodium,

The Teha or Tea tree hourishes best
light soil. 1t is raised from seed
own in spring and transplanted in rows
} or 4 feet asunder. After years the
caves are plucked, and the tree yields
hree years successively, and are then
'enewed. In some provinces they
5row or 7, in others 10 or ~ feet
high. When gathered they are first
steamed and then placed on copper,
earthen or iron plates over fire, which
shrivels or curls them up; the black
cas- are then exposed to the sun-the
caves of other shrubs, resembling tea,
are sometimes fraudulently mixed with
it. The common sorts are sold in Chi
ma at pence a pound, and the best at
two shillings sterling. The profit of the
Chinese merchant is from 25 to SO per
cent. The duties in England are cent
per cent on the prices at the Company's
sales. The English East India CONS
pany import above 80 million of lbs.
Black teas are grown chiefly in the
province of Fokein. The Chinese pre-
fer it to green as being better stoma>
chic. The commonest sort of tea is
called buoy or bo-hea. Congoo or
Congfoo is finer kind sold at double
the price. Sootcnong, or Souchong is
the best Kind, and sold at treble. Pc
kac is another superior kind, but milder.
The tender leaves Of young plants are
called Mostcha, or tea for the Empe>
ror.
The difference between green and
black tea is believed 10 arise from their
being dried-the black on iron, and the
green on copper plates. The Chinese
keep tea year, generally in those jars
which in Europe are used as chimney
ornaments. They infuse il in boiling
water and drink it without milk or su
gar. They frequently reduce it TO hn'
powder, put a tea-sponfull into cup
fill it with boiling water, stir 1t ant
drink il.
Tea was first introduced into Eng
land about the year 1000, and was soil
at 60 shilings pound; 80 millions ar
now used in the United Kingdom.
About 4 millions Of pounds of s!oe
lquorice and ash leaves are alleged t
be annually mixed with tea before it
sold to retailers. The freight on te
from China TO England is four pence
