Wounds of the Heart.

1t is generally supposed that wounds
of the heart kill Immediately. and cor
respondent has sent to use stays heart
with the left auricle practically annihll-
ated and the upper half the left ventricle
torn completely through by bullet; so
that three fingers can be readily passed
through the wound into the cavity. Not
withstanding the extent of the injury,
the stag ran about sixty yards, the
first ten yards up hill" The fact IS that
wounds of the heart are but seldom i'm
mediately fatal, if ever so. We know of
no case of absolutely instantaneous
death from wound of the heart, in any
part or however extensive. The expert
ence in the battlefield corresponds with
that of the sportsman, who never saw
a deer shot through the heart that did
not run some distance. Wounds of the
apex kill comparatively slowly, in from
one hour upward and in one case men,
toned by John Bell, In which the apex
was completely severed from the rest of
the organ by sword cut, the man lived
twelve hours. Indeed, out of twenty
nine collected cases of injury to the
heart, only two were fatal within forty
eight hours, and in the others death re-
suited In periods varying from four to
twenty-eight days. Recovery may take
place even when the wound is extensive,
for a bullet has been found imbeded in
the substance of the heart after lapse
of six years from the date of the injury,
the patient having died from disease of
an organ in no way connected with the
lesion. Some little time elapses before
the blood wholly escapes from or fails to
enter the cavities, and the walls continue
to contract and propel some of it into
the vessels for a much longer period
than is usually thought to be the case

The origin of the expression of 81 Hob
sons choice" is as follows Tobias
Hobson was the first man IN England
who let out hackney horses. When
man came for n horse he was led into the
stable, where there was a great choice,
but he obliged him to take the hor c
which stood next to the stable door, so
that every customer was alike well
served according to his chance. Hence
1t became proverb, when what ought
to be your election was forced upon you,
to say, " Hobsons choice"
PAToN says that although the term
brass frequently occurs IN scripture from
the era of job downward, there is no
indication that brass. as known in mod
ern times, was IN use previous to the
period of the Roman empire. In Nc
Clintock and Strong's 9 CycloDedia" we
ind the following Brass occurs IN
the authorized version of The Old Tesla
nent, but doubtless inaccurately, as
brass is a factitious metal, and the He
brews were not acquainted with the com
pound of copper and zinc known by that
name. In most places of the Old Testa-
ment the correct translation would be
copper, although 1t may sometimes pos
sibly mean bronze, a compound Of cop
per and tin, as IN the Chaldee form used
by Daniel. Indeed, "a simple metal was
obviously intended, as we see from Deut.
viii, g., Out of whose hills thou may
est dig brass ; and job. xviii, ,, Brass
Is molten out of the stone : and Deut.
xxxiii., -, Thy shoes shalt be iron and
brass, which seems to be promise that
Asher should have a district rich in
mines, which we know to have been the
case, since. EUsebius speaks of the
Christians being condemned to work in
them. Some such alloy as bronze Is
probably also the metal denoted IN the
New Testament.
