A large oIsls of oar readers will doubt
less be profonnuly interested in a com
munication oc tho subject that heads
this article, from Hon, Samuel Barnett,
whioh we publish in onr issue of to-day.
There is no snbjeet in whieh the gen
eral business interests of all countries, as
well as progress in Science in all its de
partments, are more deeply involved than
in this; hence, it ii a snbjeet which has
oconpied the attention of the most al>
abuse thinkers and tbo ablest law-giv >rs
in all ages, aud in all lauds and climes.
With all the knowledge of tho present
advanced stage of civilisation in the
most enlightened portions cif the world,
only an approximation to the desired
object has been attained.
The fret essential Aing is the estab
lishment of a fixed and determined unit
of Unear measurement. Tbit has been

immcmorable.
Hoars adopted tho average length of
the forearm of man whioh he styled a
cubit This su his nnitof linear meas
urement upon whieh his .ystem wss
baaed; but ibis was far from being exact,
fixed and certain.
Pbidon, of Argos, in Greece, nearly a
thousand years before the Christian Era,
gave tbo snbjeet his profound attention,
bnt with no nearer approximation to
what wss wanting than any of bis prede-
oeasors. Daring the entire period of the
Roman Empire no improvement bad
been made upon the system established
by Hoses, though bnt lew of the Nations
of the Earth adopted his system.
Their unilt of linear measurement were
upon no more certain and fixed a prin
eiple than the degil, (the average leugth
ol the finger), the palm, the foot, or the
stride.
In England, In modern times, from
whieh onr system was derived, the aver
age of grains of wheat « as at first adopt
ed as the basis of a proper atandaid.
Thii was i the reign of Henry III, in
12CC. Afterward, in 1824, dnriDg the
reign of Edward II, the grains of barley
were substituted for those of wheat;
faenoe, it was declared that “threo barley
ooras,round end dry, shall make an inch,
and twelve inohea a foot.”
This is the basis of onr present tables
upon.tlio snbjeet.
But the lndeflnitncm of Ibis standard
is apparent to all; for bow much of tbe
grain ia to bo taken off to make it “ronnd”
and at what exact stage it Ls to be pro
nouneed “dry?”

and the result of their labors, was tbe
establishment of a unit of linear meas
urement by taking for this unit, tbe
(1-10,000,000) one-ten millionth part of
a quadrant of tho earth's circumference
on a moridiau line, which was accurately
measured, os was supposed by Messrs.
Delampre and Heobain, eminent scholars
and mathcmu'iciana.
This unit so established, is in their
system styled "the metre.” It corres
ponds with 89 inohes and a fraction over,
in the English system.
Cut subsequent ooservstious and sur
veys have demonstrated the (act, that the
Freneh system so established, is not itself
scientifically exact.

Some most singular aud interesting
discoveries have recently been made in
the snmya and measurements of tho Pyr
amids of Egypt, which oleaily indicate
that th* ancient people, by whom (hose
wonderful monuments were erected, had
much more nearly reached the great ob

A Uslrmtl System •( Wii|kli and
ltcaswrsa.
WsanmaioH, Go., Nov. 8,1872.
Mon. A. II Stephens—Mr Dud 8ib :
Allow ms to oall your attention, and that
of yoor readers, to the enclosed brief
of a paper soon to be issued, concerning
the principle* to be observed in a uni
versal system of Weights and Measures,
with suggestions ss to their application,
and tbe mods* of promoting tine general
introduction of such a system.
Yoor established eharaeter ss a philo
sophical statesman, makes it peculiarly
will bo found in tbe following leading
points, vis;
1. Tbe entire abandonment of the
elaborate and ingenious system of sou-
racnsTcna founded on Greek, Latin and
Freneh, and of any attempt at univer
sality in the wordt employed to designate
th* units of tbe system.
2. The expression, on theccntur , or
hundredth*, of each unit by each nation
in its own v. rnaonlnr tongue - tbe units
themselves being still tbo same every
where, bnt the expression in language
adapted to the familiar tongue of eaoh
people.
3. A ecu mon notation as t'.io means of
universality, instead of a common sys
tem of names, the noits and their «•> iiien
expreasion being thus universally the
same, whijo tbo spoken expression con
forms to familiar national usrges.
4. Tbe words aeleotnd to espresa tbe
several units to be suggestive of ao easy
stands) d of comparison with familiar
objects.
6. Tbe notation aleo to be suggestive to
the eye, ss the nomenclature heretofore
in use was to the learned ear, bnt not to
tbs unlearned.
0. Tbe transition to the new system,
to involve tbe least loss of fsuuiarity
practicable—either with familiar objects
or familiar names.
The proposed eyst* mbs* been readi
ed, not by accident, bnt by gradual ap
proaches, as the result of careful study
of first principles. It proposes to re-
dnoe tbe cumber of denominations in
eoeformity with sn observed tendency
among men to nse numbers instead —
to simplify oral expression, and to sug
gest a suitable sotnsl system of notation.
The labors of tbe pest, and ihe volu
minous learning on the subject not be
ing disregarded, it is proposed, however,
to review the snbjeet somewhat after the
legal style of considering the object to
be attained—tbe old method—its iinper
fections, and the remedy.
It is believed that tbe proposed sy item
will illustrate the general principle that
tbe final form of tbe solution of a great
problem is so simple, as to excite sur
prise that it was not tbe first form thought
of. The writer has for some years past,
so to speak, lived with the proposed sys
tem, thought of it in alt its aspects and
relations, modifying it constantly to
meet difflenlti;* or inoorporate improve
ments, and is satisfied that tho form in
whieh it ia now presented to the pnblic
is at least sn approximate eolation of s
great problem which has long been re
garded a leading desideratum in tbe
world of business and the world of
science.

The heavy mists aud cold night dews which char
acterize th* present season are very trjiog to dell*

localities they produce sn enormous crap of inter

million of people In the UniUd States suffering
from pe"todies! fevers by miasmatic fogs and exha
lations. What makes the prevalence of this evil th*
deplorable Is (he fact that it might in all cases
be easily prsven ed. Malaria and damp produce
little or no effect upon tho ejatem pro fortified hya
