Ocf. 1 33 3i* •JOB-PRINTING EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE. TRANSMISSION OF TIIC FUNC TION MEN. Some time since we save a spe cimen of the facts Dr. Walker has collected in regard to to the heredi tary transmission of traits of the constitution generally, both mental and physical. In another connec tion, he carries the theory, which of course is anew one, much fa. ihrr. Tlkj principle he lays down, as re gards the human race, is that habits and pursuits, long followed, devel ope the organs they employ; so that in fact the individual in this case modifies his own constitution, j and moreover that of iiis descend ants, in equal proportion. This is evidently a fact of some practical importance to determine. It is not merely a curious question to discuss. The principle is illustrated by the lower animals. It is stated as a well known fact, for instance the whelps of well trained dogs are almost at birth, more fitted for sporting pur poses than others. The most curi ous and extraordinary observations of this kind have been made by Mr. Knight, who, in a paper read to the Royal Society at one of its last meet ings, showed that the communica ted powers were not of a vague or general kind, but that any particu lar art or trick acquired by these animals, was readily practiced by tlieir progeny. Mi. Knight here mentioned, is, we suppose the Pre sident of ihe London Horticultural Society, or was a year or two since, lie is a man of much science, and has distinguished himself bv the Various experiments he has tried on different Fpeci.es of animals, with philosophical and practical views/ The author remarks that the paper in question sol him to thinking, as well it might, on the importance of j the education of women, to their progeny. Its importance ns a qual ification for their training their own children, has long been pretty vveil understood; hut here the family phi -1 losophv has usually stopped. Jt | was by no means considered bow i the absolute constitution of their re motest polarity would or might he affected by the pursuits, Itahits, taste or spirit which they cliosed to attach so to speak, to their own. Walker, in support of this theory, appeals to what ho conceives an established fact, “that the child of a civilized European will acquire knowledge more readily than the offspring of an American savage; while it is known that such offspring, though ; brought up from a very early age in : the colleges of the United Slates exhibits an almost irresistible desire to return to the forests, and recom mence the wandering life. On the other band, we are told that in the voyage up the Missouri, by Clark and Lewis, one of the company was the son of an Indian woman, who bad married a Frenchman, and that this half Indian acquired the power of tracing animals through the trackless wood to any extent, which ids companions could not ac quire.” Sir Anthony Carlisle, a living au thority of high repute, is quoted as saying, “that many years since, an in the course of his personal experi ohl school master had told him. that, ence, he had observed a remarkable difference in the capacities of chil dren for learning, which was con- i nected with the education and ap-j tituiies ofthe parents; that the cliii-j dren of people accustomed to arith-j raetic, learned figures quicker than i those ot differently educated per- 1 sons, while the children of classic scholars more easily learned Latin and Greek; and that notwitstand ing a few exceptions, the dullness of children born of uneducated parents was proverbial.” Mr. Knight was applied to for information as to bis researches on this subject, and it appears bis po sition is, “the hereditary powers will generally be found best calcu -1 ited to do that which the parents, though successive generations, have done. The offspring of a family of American or Australian savages would more rapidly acquire the power of tracing the steps of an ani mal in a trackless forest, than the child of an educated English family would do. The employment of weaving, where the treads are made to cross each other so as to present the forms and colors of flowers, would ho conceived jirepare the mind of the offspring for studying mathematics, 6c c. The following anecdotes are a ! part of Mr. Knight’s coaimunica-{ I tion; | 1, seventy years ago, heard an; old schoolmaster remark in speak-’ mg of my late brother’s great facil ity of learning, that in fifty years experience, lie ha<l never seen a child of wholly illiterate parentage i and ancestry (such being at that time very abundant who could learn languages; meaning of course Latin and Greek. Being with a fliend, about thirty i years ago, shooting grouse unon a W elsli mountain, we were joined by a native of the country’ who ex hibited, with the manners and character of buffoon, verty great powers of combining ideas and who possessed a good deal of a kind of irregular and uninstructive wit. I pointed out to my friend the differ ence between him and the other peasants, and observed that, on in quiry, he would prove to be ihe son ot an educated male parent. It proved, upon inquiry that he \yus so. Cases of this kind might be mul ; tiplied, lull our object is merely lo ; attract attention to the subject, so far as it may be deemed to deserve it. —Journal of Commerce. An Athenian wife. —Ischomachus did not depend altogether on man agement; for his wife was evident ly simple-minded, obedient and in apprehensive of evil. lie married her when, in years, and in ignorance, she was but a child; and when lie asked her, some time after the fes tival of their nuptials was over, whether she supposed he had mar ried her for love and pleasure, she replied timidly, ‘‘that tier mother had given her no other instructions than to be faithful to her husband; and that she knew nothing, hut was ready to learn any thing lie might choose to teach her” —Lady Mor gan's Woman and her Master.

We have no j thing to do but touch a spring, and the contents of half a dozen ink kegs would light on the first fellow’s sconce that would dare to enter our office to lift his arm a gaiust us. ‘l'llis may seem singular, but it is true; those who doubt, tint! think proper to pay as a friend ly visit, are at liberty to come and examine for themselves. DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE. St. Petersburg, Sept. 11. The Abeillo du Non! of yester day, published the following letter from Tiflis, Aug. I<3: “You have doubtless heard of the terrible earth quake of Mount Ararat, which lies totally destroyed the town of Ma kitcheman, damaged all the build ings at Eriyan, and devastated the two districts of Sharour and Soul mate, in Armenia. All the villages in those districts have dean destroy ed. The earth is rent in such a manner, that all the cotton and rice plantations have perished for want of water. 15ut the most awful event has taken place in the neigh borhood of Mount Ararat. A con siderable mass was loosened from j the mountain, and destroyed every tiling in its way for the distance of seven worsts (nearly five English miles.) Among others, the great village Akliouli lias bad the fate of Hercu laneum and Pompeii. Above 1000 iiiliabituntswc.ro buried under heaps of rocks. A thick fluid, w hich af terwards became a river, ran from the interior of the mountain, which was opened, and following the same direction, swept over the ruins, and carried with it the corpses of the unfortunate inhabitants of Akliouli, the dead animals, etc, The shock continued to be felt every day in the above mentioned districts, and laid i them entirely waste; then the shocks j became less frequent. Ararat is j not yet quiet ; the day before yes terday I was awakened by two vio lent subterranean commotions. “ What’s the matter, Uncle Jer ry r” said Mr. , a” Jeremiah R. was passing by, growling most i ferociously. “Matter,” said the old man, stopping short; “why here-] I’ve been lugging water all the I morning for Dr. C’s wife to wash with, and what d’ye s’p.ose 1 got for j it“ Why, I suppose about nine- ] pence,” answered Mr.—. “Nine- j pence !

It furnishes u striking instance of the ruling pas sion strong in death. It was mid night. i was aroused from my sleep by a loud knocking at my door, On opening it, I found a gigantic negro, with his bridle in his hand, and large big tears coursing each oi her down his ebony cheeks. “For God’s sake, come, sir, and save La dy Hester. Come quick, or you will lie too late!” Within a few minutes I was galloping on the roatj to Djouni, and on entering Lady Hester’s chamber, l found her lying on her couch, at the head of which sat her faithful uegress, weeping bitterly., “Zaira,” exclaimed the lady, “let my big mare be saddled; let my guards be ready, and tell the brave fellows that 1 will be ready to ■j lead them onto Jerusalem.” “Alar, my lady! these are not fitting thoughts for a death bed!” “In sensate Zaira! I on my death bed! I, whose brow is encircled with a golden halo, which will last as long as the world! I, who shortly apt going to mount t lie throne of Jerusa lem! Avaunt! I banish you front my presence,” l then advanced, and my patient immediately began enumerating to me her myriads of combatants who were to follow her to the throne of Jerusalem. I sug gested that her present state of health would not allow her to take so long a journey. She attempted a reply, but sank exhausted on the couch. An old man, covered with rags, at this moment entered the room. Here is lis history; —lp 1800, Pierre Louis La stun eg left France for the East Indies. Penni less and friendless, but possessing some slight military knowledge, he arrived at Lahore, and served with [great credit under Kunjcet Singh, j In 1820, feared and beloved by all; be bad amassed an immense wealth In gold and diamonds. A consider able portion oflhishe left with his wife, the Princess Cuchucea. Loa ded with riches, he left Lahore for Europe, but, just ns the ship had ar rived oil Gibraltar, she was w reck ed, and his wealth was swallowed up by the waves. Nothing was sav ed, excepting a diamond worth GOO/, on which he lived until 3825, when Eunjeet Singh recalled him to Jja liore. One day he fancied that the Almighty had commanded him to adopt the life of a hermit, and sincp that period, he lived as a rigid an chorite. At length he ieft his cell to share the palace of Lady Hester, whose afiuctions be had gained; hut they soon quarrelled, as both of them were aspirants for the throne of Je rusalem. Since that period lie has wandered about, subsisting on the bounty of Ludv Hester, who care fully concealed the hand that admin istered to his wants. It was this old man, Lustanos, who entered the chamber of death. The lady’s countenance was lit up with a smile lor a few seconds; she then sank down upon her couch, and all was over. Singular Jewish Custom. —Burk? uai.ii, in bis “Travels through Sy ria,” &c, informs us that at Tibe rias, one of tlie four holy cities of Talmud, the Jews observe a singu lar custom in praying. While the Rabbi recites the Ps*lms of David, or the prayers extracted from them, the congregation frequently imitate by their voices or gestures the mean ing of some remarkable passages; for example, when the Rabbi pro nounces the words. “Praise tho Lord with thosouud of the ti umpetj” they imitate the trumpet’s blast j through their closed fists. When “u horrible tempest” occurs, they puff and blow to represent a storm; or, should he mention “the cries of the righteous in distress,” they all ] set u} a loud screaming; and it not unfrequently happens that while some are still blowing the storm, ] others have already begun ihu cries j of the righteous, thus forming a con ; cert which it is difficult for any but ja zealous Hebrew to hear withgra i vity.
