the following summary of what he calls
the InalenaGle rights of Americans" and
which are not enumerated in the Declaration
Of Independence -
To know any trade or business without any
apprenticeship or existence.
To marry without regard to fortune state
of health, position, or opinion Of parents and
friends.
To have wife and children dependent up
on contingencies of business and in case Of
sudden death, leave them wholly unproYded
for.
10 put off upon hireling strangers, the lit
erary, moral and religious education Of chill

To enjoy the general sympathy, when made
bankrupt by reckless speculation.
To cheat the government if possible.
To hold office without being competent to

EXPERIMENTS WITH FOOD.

From experiments made by celebrated chemists,
we find that in brcal every 100 pouniS weight
isfound to contain 50 ro' nds of nutritious matter ;
butcher meat, averaging tho various sorts. contains
on,y-3 pounds in 100 pounds; French beans, so
pounds peas 2G pounds greens and turnps which
arc the most aqueous Of all vegetables used for do
nestle purpos 5, furnishing only pounds of solid
rioassubstancc in 100 pccnIs; carrots, ID pounds;
and what is very remarkable being in opposition
to the hitherto acknowledged theory 100 pounds of
potatoes only yield 25 pounds of substance valued
nutritious According to this estimate, / pound of
good 6readis is equal to ?! or pounls of potatoes;
and IS pounds of bread and 30 pounds Of butcher
meat equal to 300 pounds of potatoes. Or,
again. pounl of rice Of broad beans, is equal to
to pounls ofcabbagc, and pounds of turnips
This circulation is considered correct. and may be
useful to families, where the best mode of support
ing nature should be adopted at the least expense.
