HUMAN LUNGS.
Tho structure nnd function of the lungs in
human subjects, has long been a chief study of
Dr. Majeudie, of Paris, and by very numerous
dissections of this organ, in its ordinary and al
so. in its phthisical diseased state, ho has ascer
tained that the tissues or cellular coats of the
lungs are almost entirely composed of tho mi
nute branchings of blood vessels, of tho pulmo
nary arteries nnd veins, anastomising or con
necting with each other—that the cells of the
lungs diminish in number, but increase in size
ith considerable regularity, from childhood
to old age, tho increase being greatest whoro
a cough has attended tho individual. That on
tole, aged 'ton-nnid much less ox-
and coriscquctly have much less animal
heat, and are loss able to resist cold than tho
young. Dr. Majendie has found, that the be
ginning of phthisis, or consumption, is owing to
the small pariter of tho pulmonary blood vessels
secreting a grayish yellow matter, in one or
more of the culls of the lungs; this, in some ca
ses, is moveable, and the patient coughs it up
and recovers; but mucli too frequently it increa
ses, adheres to tho small vessels, gradually ob
literates them, and the whole lobe at length be
comes tuberculous, or formed of this grayish
yellow matter. Considering tlius the com
mencement of the consumption as only an al
teration of the habitual socretion of the vascu
lar tissue of the lungs, Dr. M. employs seda
tives, aijd particularly the hydrocyanic acid, in
the two first stages of tho disease, with the hap
piest effect.—Monthly Mag.
DIFFERENT SALUTATIONS.
The Greenlanders never salute one anoth
er; they cannot, without laughter, advert to
tho notion of one person being inferior to ano
ther.
Tho Islanders in tho neighborhood of tho
Philippines lay hold of tho hand or foot of tho
person whom they accost, and rub their faces
with it.
The Laplanders press tho noso strongly a-
gainst that of the individual they are saluting.
In Now Guinea they placo leaves on tho
head of the person saluted.
In the Straits of Sunda tho foot of the per
son saluted is raised, and passed gontly along
the right leg, and over the body.
Tho inhabitants of tho Philippine Isles bend
very low, with their hands on their cheeks, and
with ono of tho feet raised in tho air, and tho
kneo bent. - - -
The Ethiopian takes his friend’s garment
and binds it round himself in such a way as to
leave tho former naked.
In saluting, the Japanese takes off ono shoe,
and the people of Arrncnti their sandals, when
in the street; in the houso they take off their
breeches. -
Black Kings ori 'the Coast of Africh salute
each other by squeezing threo sevoral times
each other’s middle finger.
The inhabitants of Caramania, in testify
ing peculiar attachment, open a vein, and pre
sent to their friend the blood that springs forth
to drink.
When the Chinese meet their acquaintance
after a long separation, they cast themselves on
their knees, inclino their heads towards the
ground two or threo times, and put in practice,
besides, a great many marks of affection.—
They have, besides, a kind of ritual, or acade
my of compliments, where the number of re
verences and genuflexions, and tho words suit
able to each are regularly laid down. Ambas
sadors repeat those ceremonies forty days be
fore appearing at Court.
The Otahoitans cock their noses at each o-
ther.
Tho Dutch, whoarevgront eaters, have a

____ After a long and continued spoil
of dry weather, we were visited on Sunday af

the progress of the storm, which hung over our ci'

ney of which .was struck, from whence tho
lightning passed through tho roofinto the room

About 15 minutes afterwards the houso of Mr.

FROM TUB STATESMAN & PATRIOT.
To The People Of Jane* County.
Colonel Blanket of Van Blken memory,
nnd the notorious Reviler of General Jack-
son, having after much equivocation on the sub
ject, throwfifoff his olectioncoring mask, and-
avowed liimuclf n cmididnto to roproccnt your
County, in the next Legislature; and as a cor
rect knowledge, at least, dfr tho political cha
racter of the Candidates beforqyou is essential
to enablo you to make a judicious selection, tho
republication of the following communication
in tho newspapers in tho State may not be tho
least effectual means in tho promotion of an ob
ject, (if not desirable ) so essential to tho wel
fare of the country. Should there hereafter
remain any candid individual Who entertains
the least doubt of his entire unfitness for any
public trust whatever, those doubts may be dis
sipated by subsequent developments of impor
tant political facts.
INVESTIGATOR.
By reference to tho Journals of the Repre
sentative branch-of the Legislature in 1812,
and at the 4th page, you will find that Warren
Jourdan was returned os ono of the Represen
tatives from tho county of Morgan, and that
Zachariali Boothe, John Bayne, and Thomas
Blount, Esqrs. were returned from your cotin- ,
ty as Representatives in the same Legislature;
and os the first named gentleman is now a can
didate to represent you in tho next Legislature,
it may utot be amiss to comparo several of bis
votes ou an important occasion and at an im
portant crisis, with those of your Representa
tives, and also with your candid opinions with
regard to tho propriety of those votes on that
subject. It may not bo improper, in the first
placo to call to your rememborance the strong
suspicious entertained at that time of the then
Governor’s being concerned in, or privy to tho
illegal importation from Amelia Isluud iuto this
stale, of a parcel of Blankets; which individual,
has since been removed by the President of tho -
U. States, from the* office of Agent of Indian
Affairs for tho Creek Nation, upon a charge of
being concerned in, or privy to, an unlawful in
troduction of African negroes into this State or
the United Slates.
The first notico I tako of the blanket subject,
you will find in tho Journals of tho House, (at
the 29th page,) in a message from tho Senate,
whore tho House was notified of a resolution
appointing a committee on tlioir part to join such
committee as might be appointed on the part of
tho Houso of Representatives to collect infor
mation by calling on tho Editors oftho Georgia
Journal to obtain the name of the writer of a
publication in that paper signed “A Citizen,"
or on any other person or persons possessing it,
relative to tho late importation from Amelia
Island into this state, of a parcel of blunkots
contrary to tho laws of tho Unionj to which tho
Senate desired concurrence; and-after roading
tho resolution relative to the illegal importation
of blaukots from Amelia Island, it was moved
that the said resolution lie on the table; and the
question being put, it was carriod in the affirma
tive—The yons and nays being required were,
yoas 44, nays S3. It is unnecessary to my pur
pose, to say how every member of tho House
voted, but shall content myself by saying that
Warren Jourdan voted for its lying on the table,
and .against its lying on tho table you will find
tho votes of Bayne, Blount and Boothe.
The next notico I take of t!T6 blanket sub
ject in the Journals, is at pago 31, where it ap
pears that tho House took up the resolution from
Senato relative to the late illegal importation of
a parcel of blankets from Amelia Island, and
tho samo being read as follows, to wit: (I here
for the sake of brevity alone omit the preamble
to tho resolution.) "Be it therefore Resolved,
That a committee bo appointed on tho part of
SenatQ to join such committee as ntay be ap
pointed ou the part of tho Hofise Of Representa
