It has always been n disputed question
among physicians whether the outward in
dications of the pulsation of the heart were
due to the aorta or right ventricle. This ques-
tion IS said to have been conclusveIy set at
rest the other day. Dr. Eugene A. GrOux,
late surgeon in the United States army, and
q well known practitioner in williamsburg,
died there recently of uremin. He had long
been regarded with special interest by the pro-
fesson from the fact that, being devoid ola ster-
mum (the fiat bone In the middle OF the breast),
he was able to control and suppress the pull
sations Of his heart. Years ago he exhibited
this singular power to DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, to whom he made a promise that, in
case he died first he would leave a request
that DR.. Holmes should make post norton
examination of his body for the benefit of
science. DR.. Holmes was unable to be pres
ent at the autopsy, but there were present
large number of scientific men, professors in
the different medical schools Of New York
and psacticng physicians. The examination
is said 10 have proven cOnclusively that the
outward manifestations of the pulsations
of the heart are caused by the right ventricle
A full report Of the case is to be prepared.
There Is said to be but single instance of a
similar to that Of Dr. Groux
mentioned in the medical books-that of a
Mr.. Thompson, In England, OF whose case
The accounts are very meagre.

Tt is currently rumored on the streets that
the New Orleans Times, some days ago, made
proposition, direct or Indirect, yet entirely
comprehensive, to support the Citizens AS
ISOLATION ticket, and that that association
very promptly replied that they were not in
that line Of business that the first OF second
day thereafter the Times came out in @ ram
pant article supporting and eulogizing the
Dem ocratic ticket. There is no direct evil
dence to support this rumor, but the Times,
from declaring the Democratic ticket only
not infamous, did flop with suspicious haste
and alacrity to support and commend it.
Whether this rumor be true or not. we pre-
sumo, cannot be answered by the Citizens
Association, as it Is extremely probable II the
dishonorable proposition was made at all, it
was made In confidence, imposed or implied.
The Times, however, owes it to itself to come
promptly to the front, and not only absolve
the association from any obligation of Sc
cresy, but demand that the Citizens explicitly
deny the rumor if it be false
We make this suggestion with no malice
toward the Times, but in the interest and for
the honor of New Orleans journalism. The
rumor is widespread; we have heard it on
every corner and we can add nothing to its
circulation

Swals one OF the South Carolina 'mar-
tyrs," who Was recently In Washington, i'm
portuning the administration for physical
aid in his district, is q precious scoundrel.
Published evidence shows that as State
Senator and President pro tenn. of the Senate
for years he managed to receive for his votes
a palatial residence filled with elegant furni-
ture, stud Of costly horses, gold watches
and costly articles Of various kinds. This Is
the sort of fellow whose best protection is the
four walls Of State prison. Instead of being
received as q welcome visitor at Washington
he should be cutting stone at Columbia.

District Conference.

The Barnesville District Conference of the
NJ E. Church, held its regular semi-annual
sessivn at Powhatan, on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week. Rev. J. NJ.
Carr, P. E, chairman ex officio presided.
This district comprises all of the churches of
Monroe and Belmont counties, except four or
five. There are about 70 in number with an
aggregate membership of some 1000. The
value of the church property is estimated at
$4,000. There are also within the same
bounds about rs Sunday Schools with an at
tendance of over 5000 scholars.
All of the Pastors of the District-twenty-
one-were in attendance, except one. There
were also fine representation of the Local
Preachers, Exhorters, Glass Leaders, S. s..
'Superinilndents, and District Stewards, al
though many were detained by the harvest.
lne effieial work of the Conference, may
say to the initiated, consists ia the prcsenta-
ton of reports by the members, of the various
branches of work represented by them; in the
examination of candidates for license to
preach for admission to the annual confer
+ence; and for orders; together with various
other matters relating TO the temporal and
spiritual interests of the work. Throughout
the sessions literary exercises are interspersed,
such as lectures, essays and discussions. The
Conference opened~on Tuesday evening with
an excellent sermon by Rev. C. B. Henthorn,
of Beallsville, after which the Sacrament of
the Lords Supper was administered. On
wednesday evening Sunday School Mass
Meeting was held, at which Revs. B. E.
Edgell of Barnesyille, NJ. j. Slutz of Hen.
drysburgh, and W.tD. Starkey of Morris
town, said many good things IN very forci-
BILE way. The session closed on Thursday
evening with hearty Temperance meeting,
addressed in effective style by Revs. Geo. B.
Smith of Bridgeport, j. w. Toland of Bel
laire, and j. c. Sullivan of Barnesyille.
Powhatan was new place to many of the
members of the Conference, and great was
their surprise and qualification at its beauty
of situation. What lovelier spot does the
Ohio valley furnish for town than this fer
tile plain, through which the charming Cap
tina cuts its way to the great river ? Deeply
set among the everlasting hills, skirted about
with rich meadows and golden grain fields it
is delightful picture in this mid summer
time. The hospitality of the citizens, too,
was in perfect harmony with all this beauty
of nature, 1t was most generous and un-
stinted. They stopped not with 'leaving the
latch string out, but lifted the latch and
threw wide open the door. The District Con-
ference will vote unanimously to go to Pow
hatan the very next time it is invited-so
predicts A MEMBER.
