eir profession ; expert in the defence df their
nets and proceedings ; exceedingly singular in
eir customs, and as filthy a horde of beings al-
ost, as can be possibly imagined. It is assert-
of them, as particulars, that they use no wa-
r to wash any thing ; (the cook’s hands only
cepted) use no knives or forks while eating;
row their bedding uniformly or out ot all lorm

In all matters whatever, even concerning the

masses to receive sometimes unutterable coni-

The act of .Maryland to regulate lotteries is
not without interest. Aboard of three commis
sioners is appointed, who are to superintend all
lotteries to be drawn, and without whose agency
none can be drawn. After all the lotteries now
authorised by law are drawn, lotteries are to be
the exclusive property df the state } the treasury
of which is to receive the proceeds of sales, in
the gross, and pay the prizes, retaining as a tax
or compensation for this agency, fivfe per cent on
the amount of all prizes drawn, which amount
is also taxed on the lotteries already authorise^!.
The commisoners are each tb receive 1200 dollars
salary, and their clerk 1000- Two other com
missioners are to be added to the board when the
right of devising and drawing all lotteries reverts
to’the state. These provisions appear to us to be
prttdent and equitable.—ib.

their exit, and leave to the people of Georgia a

useful purposes than it has been heretofore.
