Evening East, Nov, llth. k VMiiiH RilMIss—A Kan’s Heart Visible, Bone three years ago our physicians wit Ue « s ! ed the process of digestion through an orifice left by a gun-shot wound in the abdomen of Alexis 8t Martin. But a greater curiosity was yesterday ex hibitod to the students of the University Medical College at the hour of Professor Mott’s cliuiq Qe It was a case of deficiency of the sternum (breast bone,) which enables the several movements of the heart to be seen. It has excited intense interest for several vears past, throughout the cities of Europe and Britian. The subject of the defect ti a very intelligent gentleman, Mr. Groux, a native of Hamburg, twenty-eight years of age,somewhat under the average height and rather pale, tho n£r i. he appears to be in health. ’ He was introduced by Dr. Mott, who tliongl t that the substance which occupied the place ofth sternum might be caiqilige. M. Gruix then show ed tho peculiar conformity of his chest and an excellent lecture on the heart’s action, demon* strating his remarks with colored plates, an artifi rial heart, and h:s own body. The collar-bone! are not connected, (neither are the ribs to their on posites,) hut there is a groove where the sternum should he; the skin is natural. In its natural state this groove is about au iuch and a half wide but it can be distended to three inches. ’ 5 On looking at the groove a pulsatile swellii g j, discernible opposite the third and fourth ribs if respiration be suspended it rapidly rises to an enormous extent, aud remains full and tense until the breathing is restored, when it soon subsides — This is the heart. Between the clavicles there i 8 another pulsatile swelling, easily felt, which is the aorta, the great artery from the heart. The dilia- tation and contraction of the heart is also secu — In coughing, the right lung suddenly protrudes from the chest through the groove, and ascends a considerable distance above the right clavicle into the neck. The technical details of these wonderful dis closures will interest professional gentlemen, and to general readers of physiology, the sight will ha extremely interesting. It would be well if it could be exhibited at all public schools. Mr. Groux remembers bring taken by his family doctor to a medical society in Hamburg, when about two years old, but did not know tor what; nor did the full importance of his case occur to him till he was over twenty years of age. In Is 49, while on a visit to London, he was attacked with cholera, and then it was tiiat his defect was made known to the profession. He was shown to several distinguished medical men as a great cari osity, and was advised to travel through Europe for the benefit of the profession. Not long after, while attending to his business, which was very confining, he was attacked with hseinoptisis, (spitting of blood.) He then conclu ded to abandon his occupation and follow the sug gestion often made to him, viz: to travel aud show himself to the medical men of the couutries of Europe, Britian, and now of America. He has an album of two volumes, which are nearly filled with the autographs of the chief members’of all tbe important medical Societies and universities of Europe, from St. Petersburgh to Madrid, and from Vienna to Galway, testing their great interest m tho case. The signatures of the professors and celibrities who have examined him number over two thousand. At the close of his lecture yesterday Dr. Mott proposed a collection in Mr. Groux’s behalf, though his regular fee had been paid by the facul ty. Scarcely had he said the word, when the sil ver began to fly into the arena from the vast am phitheatre. Nearly all the three hundred students were present, and the shower of quarters greatly jeoparded the lecturer (Dr. Mott) and his attend ants, together with Dr. Alex. B. Mott, who seemed to be a target in the innocent amusement. — Senates Aeademlcus. Though known and recognized by our Constitu tional and laws, the body called a “ Senatus A- cademicus ” has never been practically put into operation in our State. Duting the session of each General Assembly, the hoard or trustees of Frank lin Co.lege, and the Senate of the State of Georgia, have been in the habit of meeting during one af ternoon in the Senate chamber, and going through the farce of calling on each member for a report of the condition of the county or district in an educa tional aspect. Hardly ever have any responses been made to these calls, the whole matter has been laughed at, aud with a motion to suspend, the Sen atus Aeademlcus have adjourned until the next meeting when the same ludicrous scene is presen ted. Such has been the state of things for many years. A change has however taken place, and the Senatus Academicns is now about being con verted into a useful department of the government. The suhject of the education of the masses, has at tracted more the attention of the people and of the State. The press generally have become awaken ed as to the interests so long neglected, and tbe Senatus Academicus desirous of not being behind in the march of intellect, and the progressive movement now being made, have determined to change the “ farce ” into something that will at tract the respect and confidence of the people of the State. We recognize in this wholesome im provement something that deserves to be encour aged and approved by all right thinking me I. — The Senatus Academicus in order to perfect snne plan for the benefit of education, adjourned Irom the first week in the month to the last, that they might have time and opportunity to mature their respective views. Let this movement go onward. It is the dawn of a brighter day for the State, in this great department so long left in neglect, and so long treated with indifierence. The cry lias gone up from every lip—let us have something for the mental and moral welfare of our people. Let our wise meu—our great men—our Herschel V. Johnson’s, our Joseph Henry Lumpkin's, our William Dougherty's, our Iverson Harris's, our Tomlinson Fort’s, our Asbury Hall’s, and such men noted for their high characters in the State, devise t :e best ways and means to educate the peo ple, and let our Legislature see to it that they car ry ont some plan. The time has come for this great work to he done, and our reputation os a State must no longer lie under the ban of being indifferent to the immortal welfare of her sons and daughters.—Atlanta Intelligencer The Pleasures ef HuMiog Office. Mr. Connel, one of the editors of the Eagle, published at Lancaster, Ohio, has thrown up bis position as chief of the Comptroller of the Treas ury, aud returned to the tripod He gives as his reasons for so doing what may not prove unprofit able for the contemplation of many young men who look upon a clerkship at Washington, as a place where fortunes are to be made, and en.inent distinction gained. He says: “We return with feelings of pleasure to the chair editorial, after an absence of one year. A year in the public service at Washington has had the effect ot convincing ns that a private station is the post of honor, nleasnre, aud profit; and we quit public office gladly, voluntarily, and without a single regret at the loss of its honors and emolu ments. It seems strange that there should be such a fascination in those positions at Washington for the young men of our country. When obtain ed, they afe but living graves, in which the occu pant buries his hopes; his ambition, ami his ener gies. No matter how brilliant, how intelligent, and how industrious, ho becomes metamorphosed into the tread-mill horse, pursuing the same weary, never-changing round; until death sets him free. No matter how energetic, the weary routine of official life lies crushingly upon his eneigies and aspirations. It is enough to say that such a life did not suit us, and that we would not, while young, and in health, sell ont onr future for an an nuity of $2,000 per year at the will of changing political dynasties.” A Venerable Xeiespaper.—A copy of the Massa chusetts Gazette and Boston News-Letter ot 17ti4 is on exhibition in Cincinnati; it is 94 years old, The publisher was Richard Draper.
