GAMBETTA,s BRAIN EXAMINED
The Evidences Of Genius as Recorded by
Scientists
From the london Dauv Macs.

From the London Daily N110s.
Conformably with the practice in vogue
of investigating the peculiaritIes Of form
and structure presented by the brains of
famous men, that OF NJ. Gambetta has
been duly examined by MN. Duval and
Chudinski. The report of these experts
was read at meeting OF the Anthropologi-
cal Society of Paris. We await details of
weight and other essential particulars,
but certain facts already brought to light
regarding Gambetta's cerebrum verify IN
remarkable fashion some Of the latest
deductions of physiology regarding the
functions CT the brain. We find the OBJ
servers recounting. first, the high devel-
opment of the speech centre in the third
left frontal region. Nor was TINS portion
OF the statesman's brain found to be mere
ly well developed. 1t actually ex-
hlblted double folding or TeduplcatiOn
IN this area, indicating an exceptionally
active disposition as far as elOquence and
command of language was concerned
qualities these for which Gam BETA, of all
men, was markedly distinguished. The
Partisan saVants tell us that in the brains
OF Wultert, the lawyer, and Huber, the
philosopher. both remarkable for their
rhetorical ability. the convolution already
noted was slngularly developed. and was
more waVy and more complex than In Or
binary brains. In these cases, however,
there was no double fold, as in the brain
Of Gamhetta, which in other respects
showed certain peculiarities Of develop
ment. In the forehead region-admittedly
the seat Of the highest intellectual pow
ers-the statesman's brains showed COM
pleXities of folding, associated with great
dagramatic regularity. Altogether. the
examination in question is of a highly in
teresting character, proving, as 1t does,
the fact that evidences of genius and
ability are nOtleft unrecorded on the or
gan of mind. How far training and edu-
cation may modify brain structure is as
vet moot part of science. One thing,
however, is certain-namely, that it is
quality and not quantity OF brain matter
which primarily dominate the world.
That large brain may be associated with
low intellectual powers is proved TACT.
Given large brain mass and high quail
Ity Of structure, derived from an educated
ancestry or from sound stock in other
respects, and we find represented the con-
ditiOns which subdue all things to the
will OF the individual, which control the
destnies of nations, and which revo-
lutlonlZe the world Of letters, art or sci
ence.

Famous New York Clothing House, 140
Congress street, is in.
That being the case, customers in need
of clothing are sure to reap the benefit, as
we are determined to clear the large
stock Ofboys', you:hs', and mems cloth
ing out in season, at sacrifice If neces-
sary.
The Famous has taken new depart
ure. and that is, not TO wait till the stock
is season old, and then make a reduce
ton, but are tfsring great inducements
in low prices now, 50 as not to carry over
any stock. and begin every new season
with an entire new stock.
The Famous low prices for clothing
every one admits, but necessity knows no
law, and still lower they go.
Remember the Famous manufactures
their own clothing, can guarantee the
quality for the price, and that price is %
per cent. below all competitors. The
Famous cannot be beat for the makeup
and style Of their clothing, therefore is
bound to give satisfaction TO all patrons,

Gov. Swineford Makes serious Charges
Against Ex-Fed oral Officials.

Against EXT oral Officials.
WASHINGTON. May 13.-Gov. Swine
ford, Of Alaska, says that the Collector OF
Customs and United States Marshal,
whom he found in virtual control OF the
Territory, were clever rascals. Although
the law is very strict against the importa-
ton OF liquor into the Territory, whisky
was bought in Portland at 81 30 gallon,
smuggled into Alaska under the eyes OF
these officials, and sold TO the natives at
from So to $12 a gallon. GOV. swineford
says be had only been in possession Of
the government house a short time
when the retiring Marshal brought him a
bill OF about $500 for the furniture. He
paid the bill and soon after learned that
the furniture belonged to the government.
The Marshal is now far away.
soon after his arrival in Alaska the
steamship company sent the Governor
pass, which he accepted and used on
trip to Juno. The regular fare to Juno is
$50 each way, but the Governor paid only
So each way for his meals. w hen he re-
turned, the clerk presented receipts in
duplicate for $50. The Governor expos
tuiated, saying he had only paid $40.
~ our pass pays for the rest" said The
clerk.
But 1 don't do business in this way"
said the Governor. II want a Dill to
show what | actually paid"
With the remark that be was mighty
particular, and that that was the way the
other fellows always did, the clerk made
out a receipt for $40. The Governor, on
looking into the matter, discovered that
it was practice with the United States
officials 10 ride on passes and have their
bills made out as though they had paid
money and 80 cashed at the treasury.
