In curious communication to the Academy
of Sciences in Paris, u. Pouchet, the we'll.
known champion Of spontaneous generation,
described in q series Of experiments OF his on
haled by animals together with the atmospheric
air, IN the act Of breathing. Ills attention was
chiefly f1ed on birds, which, from the peculiar
structure to which they owe their l1ghtueas, re-
ceive tue air they breathe not only loto their
lungs, but also into other cavities OF the body,
and eyen Into the hollow tubes constituting
their osseous system. And as the rugged inner
surface of the bone, especially Of the humegus,
the shoulder blade aud sternuu, il admirably
calculated for retaining the light, extsaneous
particles brought in With the air, A. Pouchet
chose these paris OF the skeleton more par
ticularly for his investigation. OF all tue
foreig ign substances which he found them to con-
which live in the midst of our town.; next in
order Of Quantity come particles Of SCOT, and
the threads Of various kinds Of woven btuHs
generally used for clothing. The further, on
the contrary, the birds lives from inhabited
places, the more seldom are those substances

longing to plants. The fecula contained in the
bones OF birds is most frequently in its nat.
ursl stste, but it also occurs in the shape Of
atoms Of bread. Toxn birds do not re-
ceire .ali this fecuta from the air alone, hut

which, unless washed by frequent rains, arc
generally laden with extraneous particle de-
PASTED By the atmosphere. II. Pouchet has
also had opportunities Of examining the re-
sP,ratory oreaus cfthe human frame, which he
also found encountered with fecula, atoms Of
s'lex and glass, particles Of red aud blue wood
used for dying Glaments Of cotton, linen and
hemp. Of blue, white, and yellow silk. and,
.traase to say, in oEe instance, Irving micro
scopic larr9 Of o spider. The substances ac-
cunaulased in the breathing apparatus vary
according to the customary hauute Of the lndi-
vidual; thus, the bones, and still more, the
lungs Of n fowl belonging to baker. contained
superabuudant proportion Of fccula; town
pigeons contained u quantity Of threads Of va-
rious cotors, and those Of q peacock belonging
to rich family contained numerous vestges Of
the magnificent stuffs aud enbroideFiea with
which the furniture Of the house was covered.
II. pouchet concludes with remarkiry. in sup.
port Of his theory Of spontaneous generation,
that in sit his experiments above mentioned,
which amounted 70 several hundreds, he has not
met with single spore or egg Of any microz.

strength in Kentucky, have simmered down
into mere make-weight or balance Of power

Slare-Code Know Nothings. The Louisville
Journal has exhibited great zenl and activity
in arranging the bargain and sale between the
Sovereign Squattcrs ard tho Dark Lantern

that tho Squattcrs are to render the Know
Nothinga Of Kentucky, the Delleverett votes
Of lndiana and OHIO are to be transferred over
to Douglas at the November election in those
states. which is avery nice arrangement on pa
per, but in practice it may not work as well
as is anticipated.
The Douglasites hate the Breckinridgers,
and finding themselves in hopeless minority
gave willing ear to the proposition Of the
Know Nothirgs. We shall feel much surprise

When the immense numbers We had been
counting upon as citizens Of our thriving me-
tropolis, dwindle, under the pressure Of the
census, from a50.0o0, or upwards, to about
III, 900, our pride suffers q shock. We rub our
