Ladd, published in the "Physicians and Surgeons of the United States," will be read with geld : Charles Henry Ladd, Winnsboro, 8. 0., was born at Macon, Ga., April 1st, 1838. Heo is a son of George W. and Catharine Ladd, the former of Massachusetts, the latter of Virginia. He was educated at Mount Zion College, and received -his M. D. from the University of New York in June 1859. He set,. tied first in Bossier parish, La., but changed in 1865 to Winnsboro, S. 0. In 1859 he visited Europe. His notable cases comprise many resee-. tions, amputations, ete. His spe.. cialty in practice is surgery, in theo ry chemico-physiology. He is a ienmber of the South Carolina Medical Association, of which lhe was a vice-president in 1878, and was a delegate to the American Medical Association in 1877. Among S the medical subjects on which he has written are "Tetanus," "Surgical Jrossings" and "Causes of Mias taitic Fevers." He has also comn ~ nwioated a number of papers to the surgeonbgereal' office in the SVIt.ed,States Army. In July, 1861, ~1~'oite.C~,onfederate atmy as 1&a6t Gofth 1)t the.snageoncy, having his corn mis.. missi'bn antedated to May, 1862, and ] assigned exclusively to surgical duties for the remainder of the war. Since 1865 he has been associated r with A. W. Ladd in the general r morchandizing and commission - business. PETTENoILL's NEws'APEit DIRECTO- V In.-Tho- issue for 1878 of the z News,paper .Directory and Adver- r t1sers' hand-Book, published by the l world-known advertising agency of S. M. Pettongill & Co., 37 Park Row, t New York, has just come to hand. 1 For simplicity and conveniouco of- a arrangement, comprehensiveness. of C scope and general accuracy, we have t long regarded this as among the best and most reliable Newspaper Directories published in the United a States or elsewhere. It contains a complete list of the newspapOrs published in the United States and the Britiah Provinces, a second list arranged, for the convenience of advertisers, in counties ; lists of the daily, weekly, monthly, religious, e agricultural and specialist newspa. pers and periodicals, with full infor mation as to character, circulation and prQprietorship, and a list of the leading ne:wspapers of Great Britain, Australasia and Europe. The volume is illustrated with por traits of Bayard Taylor, George W. Childs and Bret Harte among tho living, and Samuel Bowles, James Gordon Bennett, of the dead journ" alists of the United States, while an excellent steel engraving of Mr. S. t AM. Pettengill appears as the frontis piece. An interesting article on advertising, replete with hints drawn from long practical experience of the subject, should make this v61- a une specially attractive to enter- f prising business men. z T t "IS iA R DO MO v1." An Article Respectfully Dedicated to the Columbia Register. The powerful god of day has, ac according to ii doctrine recently s propoun-tl. b ,v. Jasper, per formed a dL o . circuits around the earth, since a colored man made his appearance in Winnsboro,t and astonished the quiet citizens of t this place, and dumbfounded the disciples of Galen resident therein, by professing to throw his heart i recklessly into almost any portion U of his anatomy for the small remu neration of twenty-five cents. ~ Among the feats he professed to ej perform are the following: To throw 1 his heart down into his abdomen, ~ first on one side, then on the other; next to stop the pulsation of his t heart altogether, for almost a min- c ute, and then to throw his pulse t into one arm, stopping it in the oth er. Theoassertions he made good to the satisfaction of the phy-- i sicians of Winnsboro, who ox- a amined him most critically, This & tramp had his pockets stuffed with 1 nswvspapers from different places lie I had visited, testifying to his pcir- i formanaces. lHe showed in his side two scars, which he said were the1 results of operations performed on him by Dr'. Louis, of Paris, and Dr. s K.ent, of London. HIe not only t famiiliary mentioned the names of a number of leading physicians in i Paris, Great Britain and this v country, but described the ap.. I a pearance of some of the first to a a gentleman who had met thorm, and h who recognized the description. As s accounts of a negro, possessing this - phenomenal power had,.appeared in T some of the Northern papers several years since, when this prodigy ap- - r peared in Winnsboro and exhibited ' himself he was accepted as the original "heart mover." Shortly after THE NEWS AND flEa ALD published a notice of the mon. strosity, the Columbia .Register published a paragraph "for the special benefit, use and behoof of a the Winnsboro NEws AND ERALD," in which it was stated that the negro bi "who could shift his heart about in his toes, on his bead &c.," was a fraud.. No charge was made fora this information, and the depletedj treasury of TEn Nn's Ain 1HaI:ALn d was not "busted." We are obliged for the infor ation, yt .vel4be itanley to explore the beart of Athiopia, or did it procuro a clair oyant to look into his inmost ecosses ? Give us the proofs, .oighbor. Now it so happens, that List as the Register trains its Parrot ,uns upon the unofonding darkey nd blows him and his story to toms, a physician of this place eceives a letter from one of the 3ading physicians of Columbia, iving his adhesion to the theory hat "it do move." The assembled edical fraternity of Columbia ex mined the negro critically, and con urrod at the time in the conviction hat the "change of base' of the Leart was bona /ide. This belief ms predicated upon the closest ex m.ination made simultaneously by our physicians. One physician has inco changed his opinion, but the ther Ga1i eos, so. far as we are in ormed, shake their heads and still ay "it do move" notwithstanding lho Register's papal bull to the ontrary. The Register should re nember the sad fate of the church nen of Italy, and more recently of Tohn Jasper himself. The world noves, and science, and sometimes von the heart, moves with it. We ask the Register why it should )laco upon the poor darkey the tamp of fraud more damning- than hat of Joe Bradley and the Eight to even ? Why should not his heart nove? .Does not the bashful lover, the presence of his girl, feel his Weart rising in his throat ? Is not he seat of the average Ethiopian's ieart placed by report in his tomach ? What swain has not requently left his heart behind him? 1avo we forgotten the touching tory of Ginovra, who on her ifteenth birthday "gave her hand, 'it/h her heart in it, to Francisco" ; or have we heard of the throat of he bully to take his antagonist's eart out and let him look at it," or he assertion of the patriotic con ressnan that he wears his heart n his sleeve ? All this proves con lusively that the heart do move, ometimes. And admitting that omo hearts may be moved, why iot this particular one ? We are nuormed that this negro has no Ir icardium and no diaphragm. Pic ure the sad fato of one condemned o stalk the world without those iseful concomitants and appurton nces. The loss of a pericardium is ad enough, but think of no dia hragm ! Horrors ! This is the cme of misfortune, the ne plus ltra of doggonedness. We could wish our wor'st enemy no sadder ate than the loss of his diaphragm. o be wanting in the partition sopa ating the thonix fr'om the abdomen, he seat of the affections fr'om the eat of the appetite, the tricuspid romi the umbilicus, and to have all he useful organs so conglomerated, onfounded and congemninated ogeth er that their functions become onfused and their sensations so mied that one cannot distinguish etween the hoar't ache and a pain ai the stomich.---is a most grievous iijtion. In accordance with the ~eneral lawa of nature there must e seone compensation for this, such s is vouchsafed to the African rothaer whose peOculiari ties are now a dispute. If doctors differ, they ave done so from time immemorial. Ve will cling to our doctors and at the Register follow its owvn bent. Eaving argued from fact, from cientific grounds, from charit-y, that be negro's heart do move as clairned, ie submit our propositions to the ?egqister, hoping that, however skep' ical it may bo, it will deal gently rith the poor dusky orphan wvho as no mother and no poricardunm nd is equally destitute of a father nd a dia4bragm. It is better, far etter, to have one's heart on a bring than to have none at all. rueo Brotherhoodj Lodge, No. 344, Knights of' Honor.
