Elsewhere it was normal. The piameter was anal

respects. The orbital plates were well arched, and
presented many conical eminences OF large size.
There was rougheniDg anywhere at the inner
surface Of the skull. The brain firm. Its
weight, including the cerebrum, cerebellum pans
and medulla and a portion OF the dura, was 49S
1t was slightly fattened in the region
responding to the fiattening Of the parcital bone
above mentioned. On section OF the cerebrum
an appearance of slight thinning Of gray
cortex. The measurement taken, however, gave
the depths of esixteenth to eighth Of an inch
in close proximity to each other, while the sub
stance was almost absolutely anGmic. The cerebel-
lum and island Of reil were both covered on each
side. The assures generally presented considerable
depth in many places in the right assure Of the
rolaudo amounting to seveneighths OF inch.
The right fssure of the sylvius, typical left was
separated from the first temporal fssure by slight
bridge, deeply situated. The right assure Of the
syvius left, but separated only by a
small bridge deeply situated, both separated from
the longitudinal assure. The first frontal assure

rolando, but the posterior part was crossed by
secondary assure. The the left side except
that the assure crossed by small bridge near
the center. The second and third frontal assures
presented nothing remarkable. The numerous sec.
ondary assures, praecental and retrocental assures,
on each tide, were well Defined and unconnected
with the other assures. The interparietal fssure
on each side we'll defined and unconnected with
the other assures. The interpaItial pressure
each side terminated on the transverse occipital,
separated only by slight bridge. The parieto occi-
pital well marked on each side. The transverse
nccipital assure on the right side was well defined.
1t began on the median surface and extended well
outward. The first temporal assure was well devel-
oped on the right side on the left it was Of the
usual length. wernickes assure was well marked
on the left side, but not continent. The cooso
maginal assure double each side, the
upper OF the two being probably the true one.
On the right the upper one extended back to the
anterior margin of the paracentra lobue On the left
not quite far. The lower extended the right
side to a line about half an inch in front OF the
pareto occipital assure, from which it sepa-
rated by q small bridge; on the left side also by
bridge of larger size On the orbial surface the
right side were seen assures, radiating from the
circular assure surrounding small isolated con-
volution. On the left side there were five assures,
radiatiDg from small shallow depression. The
left collateral assure was well Defined extending to
the anterior extremity OF the temporal lo0e. Inc
right was also well marked, but did not extend so
far back the other, and there was an attempt at
confluence interioriy with the tempora occipital,
small bridge intervening, The left tempora occi
pital assure was well defined The conrolutions
following alone call for remark. The ascending
frontal was well defined each side. The
ascending partial on the right side was well de-
veloped in its lower three .fourths, but narrowed
in the upper fourth. On the left side the narrowing
was less marked. The island of reil presented on
the right side five assures and Six straight gyr

incision was made and the abdomen opened. There
was an extravasa.ion of blood into the right pee

adipose layer of the abdominal section one inch
in thickness. The dome of the diaphragm extended
up to the fourth rib. On each side were
old peuritic adhesions at the apex Of the
right lung. The upper and middle lobes
were congenitally united by a connective
tissue. The lungs normal throughout; also
the old pleuritic decisions of the left lung to the
diaphragm and between its lobes. Three small tn.
bercles, like augmented patches, were observed in
the upper lobe. The heart weighed ten and three
quarter ouncts, in muscular substance apparently

anterior surface and viaious patch of old peri.

right ventrcle contained little blood, just forming
a dot. The valves were normal. The aerta was
slightly atheromatous for a short distance
above the valves. All OF the abdom-

Another Exciting Scene In the House.
WASHINGTON, July 6th.-There was an
exciting scene in the House to-day, while
Robson was engaged in defending his ad.
ministration OF the Navy Department under
Grant. The man who pursued Robson re-
lentlessly duiing the Forty.fourth and
Forty-f fifth Congresses was Whitthorne of
Tennessee, who was then Chairman of the
Committee on Naval Affairs, that exposed
the alleged Observation-Disclosures of the Navy
Department. Robson, with wonderful
patience, has bottled his wrath for years, ap-
parently waiting for the time when he could
strike crushing blow. That time, he ina
gined, had arrived, aud he poured in hot shot
at short range this morning, There was
full House, and the members paid the closest
attention to his speech. He paced back and
forth in the space before the Speakers desk,
gesticulating feroely, his voice rising from a
kissing whisper to loud screams, az he por.
trayed the character of the assaults made
upon himself and family. Pausing for
a moment, and facing Whitthorne,
who sat twenty-five feet distant, he be.
gan, in parliamentary language, one of the
severest personal attacks ever heard on the
floor. He did not mention Whitthorne by
name, but alluded to him as "some one per.
son." covering his language so chat Whit.
