EDIT ORS NOT GENTLEME

N
A new doctrine has been broached in Congress since
the unfortunate affair Of Messrs. Graves and Cey in
substance as follows Editors Of newspapers are not 70
be considered as gentlemen by members of Congress
And, consequently, said members of Congress NAV vfr
and defane said editors without allow said editors to
demand satisfaction for said vcations and defamatons
And here curious and abstrise question propounds
!tsel TO the psychologists whence happens it, does he
inquire that individuals OF the genus homo cased in broad
cloth and buckra beaver crowned and eahern. .soIed
and in all points well conditioned outwardIy as anv
other ppeds that strut their little hour upon The brief
Stage of Tins world, not deemed worthy by sapent
and awgving men, Of the much abused title Of Gentle
man.
The time was, he ruInnates, when the Colemans the
Hansons, the Rtches, the Washes, The Langs the Rus.
sels the Parks and the Gardeners esteemed as the
honorable OF the earth; impious enough to
deny their claims TO the appellaon of Gentleman had
ne done so, public opinion would upon the instant have
consigned him to eternal infamy.
The lie-that most damnng Of all accusations; the lie
given and received by rival editors thing of course
in fine, as imputation to which they have long been
and which it is hardly worth their while to
reute. Can wonder then that the profession has fall
en- into disrepute among those who really gentlemen
such aegatons rather ought not to be surprised
that indignant people do not rise in their might and
scourge such reptiles over the borders into Texas or
Canada, or any other country which has opened sanctu
ary for rogues and vagabonds.
Then should we have and not till then, press free
and unbiased as the winds of heaven ertilizng and
the great mind Of America and carrying
true knowledge and sound principles of freedom into
every log house beyond the mountains.

FALLING SToNEs.--An account was rece;vea
from Brazil OF the appearance of meteor of ex-
traordinary brightness, as large as balloons used
by 9ronauts. 1t was seen for more than sixtv
leagues IN the province Of Ceara, and over the
village OF Macoa, at the entrance of the Rio Assn:
u burst with a noise like thunder, and an immense
quantty OF stones fell from it, in line extending
more man ten leagues. The largest portion fell
at the entrance of the dwellings, and buried them
selves several feet in the sand. No human l;ves
were lost, but many oxen were killed. and others
severely hurt The weight of those taken out of
the sand varied from one to eighty pounds.

cavalry officer had fall from his horse in

thing which occurred the day previous to the ac-

TAKING SoDA PowDER.-An individual who
had never seen the process Of mixing soda
powder performed, was ordered by his physician
to drink soda water. box of powders was ac-
cordingly obtained from the druggist and the acid
dissolved in one tumbler and the soda in another,
as per directions. With sundry contortons Of
the face the acid was turned off, and then the
soda was poured into his stomach after it. The
acid and alkily meeting in that confined region,
and finding it too small for their lively operation,
boiled over OF course. The poor fellow thought
that his day Of doom was come when he felt the
powder within him, and found the foam spirtino
from his mouth and nose like steam from a safety
valve. The next time when he took soda
powder, he was like the Irshman when he took
second smoke-'He let it alone.-Balti,nore

WEIGHT OF THE HUMAN BRAIN.

Profr Feidermann, of Heidleburg, has written
a work to prove that the brain of the Negro is
equal to that of the European. We think his
attempt failure. But his work contains some
information concerning the weight of the brain,
which is very interesting.
The brain of the European male adult, varies
in weight from 3 lbs. 2 OF. to 4 lbs. OF. troy.
The female brain is lighter than that Of the male
1t varies from Q lbs. 8 OF. to lbs. IL OF. Il
never" says Feidermann, 9 found female brain
that weighed lbs. 1t weighs, on an average,
from to OF. less than that Of the male, and
this difference is already perceptible in new
born child.
The cerebellum in six male Europeans, varied
IN breadth from 4 inches 3 lines, to inches
lines. In three female Europeans. the highest
and the other, 3 inches lines, showing that the
ccrebellum is much larger in ,na, than IN 100
man.
The brain of men who have distinguished
themselves for great talent, is often very large.
The brain Of Cuvier weighed lbs. IL oz. 4 drs.
80 grs. troy; and that of the celebrated surgeon
Dupuytran, weighed lbs. 10 OF. troy. ss'The
brain of men endowed with but feeble intellectual
poUers, is, on the contrary, often rery small,

Nc,c researches ON the permanent rcfracfion o,
the fingers; By DR.. g. Gayrand.
The retraction here mentioned is not consider
ed by the author as dependant on the hexor ten
dons, or on any expansions from the palmor
aponeurosis, but as arising from the formation of
cords, or brides. made up of parallel 6bres, fixed
to the sheath of the hexor tendons white, strong,
mextensible, and having the aspect and character
ofhgaments. In the treatment of these affections,
the author makes a longitudinal incsion over the
hbrous cords, which he detaches from the integu-
ment, if adherent, and afterwards divides by a
transverse incision; employing director, if ne
cessary, to avoid injuring the tendons below.
The fingers are then to be kept extended for six
weeks or two months; and when the parts are
healed, gentle fexion and extension are to be
daily employed on all the fingers operated upon

II WOULD state, for the information of tn ose
who may not be acquainted with the fact, that
BY having teeth, which have commenced decaying,
plugged with gold silver, in a proper manner,
they may almost invariably be preserved during
life. Iwould also inform those persous who have
lost their teeth, well as the roots Or fngs, that
they can have teeth inserted, by means of a gold
or silver clasp, of an ndistuctble substances that
will not change THAR color, which will answer in,
many respects, the purposes of natural teeth.
would also inform those who may be troubled with
that disagtesable disease, the Cum Scurvy, that if
they will give subscriber a call, he will be happy
to put them in the way Of eradcating it. To those
who may wish to have teeth extracted, would say,
that in performing this operation, generally use
Forceps, which give less pain by far, than that
WELL KNOWN instrument, the Turnkey. As l
have resided in Galena near four years, persons
wishing to employ some can easily get informa-
ton as to my qualifications as Surgeon Dentist,
without any direct references. The subscriber will
wait upon persons, who maywish il, at their resi-
dences. i. "A. LlVEkMCNE.

The WoRM- --Who has not heard Of The rat
tIe-snake or copper-head! An unexpected sigh
Of either Of these reptiles will make even The
lords of creation recoil; but there is species
of worm found in various parts Of this State
which conveys poison Of nature so deadly
that, compared with it, even the venom Of thu
ratte-snake is harmless.
TO guard our readers against this foe Of hu.

| This worm varies much in size. II is frc.

had frequent opportunities Of being the melan-
choly spectator Of the effects produced by the
subtle poison which this worm infuses.
The symptoms Of its bite are terrible. The
eyes of the patient become red and fiery, his
tongue swclls TO an immoderate size, and OBJ
structs his utterance, and deirium Of the most
borrid character quickly follows. Sometimes,
in his madness, he attempts the destruction Of
his nearest friends. If the sufferer has fami-
ly, his weeping wife and helpless infants are
not nnfrequenlly the objects Of his frantic fu-
ry,--in word, I've exhibits to the life all the
detestable passions that rankle in the bosom Of
a savage, and such is the speN in which his
senses are locked. that no sooner has the u1-
happy patient recovered from the proxysm of
insanity, occasioned by the bite, than he seeks
out the 5a:.royer for the sole purpose Of being
bitten again.
