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

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.
