man who applied here for the privilege of
practicing medicine it would lower the

to be responsible for.’

Wonderful Exhibition—A Living
i’s Heart Open to Inspection.
Some three years ago our physicians
witnessed the process of digestion through
an orifice left by a gun shot wound in the
abdomen of Alexis St Martin. But a great
er curiosity was yesterday exhibited to
the students of the University Medical.
College, at the hour of Professor Mott’s
clinique.
It was a case of deficiency of the stern
urn (breast bone,) which enables the sev
eral movements of the heart to be seen.
It has excited intense interest for several
years past throughout the cities of Europe
and Britain. The subject of the defect is
a very intelligent gentleman, Mr. Groux,
a native of Hamburg, 28 years of age,—
somewhat under the average height, and
rather pale, though he appears to be in
health. 11c was introduced by Dr. Mott,
who thought that the substance which oc
cupied the place of the sternum, might be
cartilage. Mr. Groux then showed the
peculiar formation of his chest, and gave
an excellent lecture on the heart’s action,
demonstrating his remarks with colored
plates, an artificial heart, and his own
body. The collar-bones are not connect
ed, (neither are the ribs to their opposites,)
but there is a grove where the sternum
should lie; the skin Ls natural. In its na
tural state this grove is about an inch and
a half wide, but it can be distended to
three inches. On looking at the grove, a
pulsable swelling is discemable, opposite
the third and fourth ribs; if respiration
lie suspended, it rapidly rises to an enor-
soon subsides. This is the heart. Between
the clavicles there is another pulsatile
swelling easily felt, which is the aorta, the
great artery from the heart. The dilation
and contraction of the lungs is also seen.
In coughing the right lung suddenly pro
trudes from the clicst through the grove,
and ascends a considerable distance above
the right clavicle in the neck.
Mri Groux remembers being taken by
his family doctor, to a' medical society in
Hamburg, when about two years old, but
he did not know for what; nor did the
full importance of Las case appear to biin
till he was over twenty years of age. In
1849, while on a visit to London, he was
attacked with colcra, and then it was that
his defect was made known to the profes
sion. He was shown to several distinguish
ed medical men as a great curiosity, 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 attack
ed with haemoptisis (spitting of blood.)—
He then concluded to abandon hLs occupa
tion and follow the suggestion often made
to him, viz: To travel and show himself
to the medical men of the countries of Eu
rope, Britain, and .now of America. He
has an album of two volumes, which are
nearly filled with the autographs of the
chief members of all the importantmedi-
cal societies and universities of Efirope,
from St Petersburg to Madrid, and from
A'iena to Galway, testifying to their great
interest in the case. The signatures of
professors and celebrities who have exam
ined him, number over two thousand.
At the close of the lecture yesterday,
Dr. Mott proposed a collection in Mr.
Groux’s behalf though his regular fee had
been paid by the faculty. Scarcely had
he sad the word wheitthe silver began to
fly into the arena from the seats of the
vast amphitheatre. Nearly all the three
hundred students were present, and the
shower of quarters greatly jeoparded the,
lecturer (Dr. Mott) and his attendants, fo-
getiter with Dr. Alexander B. Mott, who
seemed to be a target in the innocent *-•
movement
AYe were favored this morning with, a
call from. Mr. Groux, the congenital fisure
of whose sternum created such interest at
the Medical College to-day. His case foa
most remarkable one, and is a rare oppor
tunity for studying the ex cixti, the actions
of the heart, great vessels and lungs.
It solves several doubtful questions in
regard.to the action of the heartland gives
quite as vivid an idea of ths-great strength
and rigorous moments of the ‘little life
machine,” as if the- ribs were- out away
and it exposed; more vivid indeed, for in
the latter case there would be no action,

all the revenues of the government, while
Southern consumers are our largest cus
tomers ? Of what avail is it to prove, to
the satisfaction of every politician, that
wc supply the South with all that they
wear, from a top-knot to a shoe latchet;
with all that they use, from a steam engine
to a friction match, when this very pro
cess feeds our manufactures ? The South
is as necessary to the North as the North
is to the South. Massachusetts anmmfiy
makes six millions of dollars’ worth of
shoes. The South is her best customer.
AYhen the shoe business declines, gaunt
hunger stalks through the streets of her
flourishing villages.
“ New England is extensively engaged
in the manufacture of cotton. AYe buy
the raw material of the South, and pay in
goods. When our spindles cease to whirl,
the operatives are threatened with starva
tion. It is the spirit of a hyena that bites
the hand that feeds it. It is high time to
cultivate fraternal feeling between the
different sections of our countiy. Neither
commerce, manufactures, nor agriculture
can flourish while the two hostile portions
of our country endeavor to cripple and in
jure each other. Suppose we succeed in
convincing the South of th -ir dependence
on us for all they eat, wear, and use, and
thus stimulate them to establLsh manufac
tories for themselves, or divert their trade
into other channels, are we gainers by the
process?
44 Suppose we prove to them that they
are indebted to us for all their literature
and all their teachers, and thus rouse
their hostility to our books and teachers,
are we benefitted in anywise ? No good
has come or ever will come from this mu
tual 1 crimuiteinu. and recrimination- It

the downfall of slavery. We hold that ev

institutions it will, adopt

more slave States,’ when the very comer
stone ofour political fabric rests upon the
principle that a majority of the people of
every State, new or old, sliall decide that
question for itself?”
The Death of Judas.
As we pass the rocky heights of Hin-
nom wc are reminded of the miserable
end of the traitor. Mat (27:5) states tliat
Judas, after having brought his money
and tlicown it down into the temple, went
and hanged himself. Luke states (acts
1:18) that he “purchased a field with the-
reward ol iniquity, and, falling headlong,
burst asunder in the midst, and all hi*
bowels gushed out.” We have no certain
knowledge as to the mode in which we
arc to combine the two statements, so as
to connect the act of suicide with what
happened to the body. Jbterj*eters have
suggested that Judas may have hung him
self on a tree near a precipice- over the val
ley of Hinnom, and that the limb or rope
breaking, he fell to the bottom, and was'
killed by the falL For myself I felt as I
stood in this valley, and looked up to the
rocky terraces which hang over- it,, that
the proposed explanation was a perfectly
natural one. I was more than ever satis
fied with it I measured the precipitieus-,
almost perpendicular walls, in different
places, and found the height to be, vari
ously, forty, thirty-six, thirty-three, Uni
ty and twenty-five feet Olive-trees still
grow quite near the edge of these rocks,
and no doubt, in former times they were
still mere numerous in the same place.—
A rocky pavement exists, atao; at the bot
tom of the precipices; and Hence, on that
account, too, a person who should fell

Honey a Plenty.
AYe saw several letters yesterday from
the iiitcribr, say-* the- Savannah Republi
can on Friday, stating that many planters
were offering to lend their surplus money
—of which there seems to be an abun
dance for 6*4 and 98 days, at tlie rate of
five to six per centum per annum, and
others are anxious to lend it at 7 per cen
tum and let the borrower keep if a year.
This shows a flourishing state of affair*
within our borders, hut we hope it may
not he the means of inducing those who
have means to overbuy themselves in pro
perty at extravagant rates, and bring *-
bout another season of working out of
debt. Experience seems to have taught
our planters something in this respect,
and their course now in seeking to invest
in something that can soon be turned into
money again without’ being subject to the
fluctuation- of property, purchased at high
rates, indicates a determination to take
advantage of that cx|ierience.
A bill for the execution of criminals in
private has passed the Senate] There was
a tie when the President gave the casting
vote in favor of the bill. Good, very good.

Good for you, Brother News. If we
bad no other objection to capital punish
ment being, publicly executed, this to us
would lie an insurmountable objection, as
it is a lamentable fact, that at almost ev
ery hanging, the number of females pre
dominate over the males. This is humil
iating to the lovers of tlie sex, and divests
tlie “dear creatures” of that divinity with
which the sterner sex are wont to clothe
them, and which is their surest safeguard
from wrong and insult in our country. If
their innate purity of heart will not prompt
their absence from such horrifying scenes,
we hope the Legislature will take from
them the privilege of gratifying so morbid
5nd degrading a curiosity.
