A WONDER IN SURGERY Removing a Diseased Portion of the Brain of a Child. Dr. 7T. W, Keen, Professor of Surgery at the Jifferson Medical College, Philadelphia, performed an important operation upon a six-year-old child, the son of a prominent New York clergyman. The child suffered from epilepsy, and to effect a cure a portion of tbe brain was removed. The history of the patient is interesting. Tbe little fellow, when about two years old, while playing at home, fell and bumped bis head ratber se verely, but at first, arter tbe temporary pin had passed off, no lll-elfuCts were observed, after a time the boy became subject to epi leptic convulsions, and gradually lost the power of speech, except sucu words as "Pa" and "Ma." Tbe parents consulted authority alter authority, and at last resjlved to sub mit the casj to Professor Keen. For a week the little palieul was caret ully watched, aud each syixigtom noted. At tbe end of tbat time Dr. Keen decided upon she operation. The little patient was etherizja and laid upon the operating table. ' Dr. Keen, as sstedby Dr. Wiliam Forbes and Dr. Ad dinell Hewsoo, Jr., be an the operation. Atter taking the length ot tbe skull with an Instrument devised lor tbe purpose, and making with an aniline pencil a line upon the crown, running at an angle ot about sixty degrees forward and io the lett of tue median line, Dr. Keen careiully s?paratrd the scalp and turned it back, leaving the kull oovered, with the periosteum pertectly bare. Applying tbe trephine at two points on the iwe, he removed two circular pieces of bone and enlarged the aperture thus made with bone forceps. All these pieces of bone were carefully placed in stemmed fluid at the temperature of the human body that is aoout oue hundred degrees Pahreuelt. Now the quivering brain, oovered by tbe dura matter, was to be seen. This being carefully divided, tbe diagnosed leseon right at the place supposed was found. At this point au experiment was made. A galvanio battery was brought out, aud being applied to the cicatrix of the braiu, all the phenom ena of au epileptic attack were simulated, confirming the surgeon's opiniou that here was the seat of the trouble. A few skilful, rapid and careful movements of the knife followed, and in a few moments the roas of diseased brain substance was successfully removed and the resulting cavity carefu ly cleaned. On applying the galvanio battery ugnin noepiJeptic convulsion followed, mucn to the physicians' delight The work of closing the brain by replacing the dura rct ter carefully, was followed by replacing tbe bone and then the scalp. All over, this was skilfully secured in plaoe by anticeptio dressings and bandages, and tbe little fellow was restored to hit cot. - No alarming renults followed, and tbe re sult of the operatioa will be watched wJVfi great iaterost by the profession.

An audience of 5,000 persoos aud an out- . jside assemblage of 10,000 enthusiastic citi zens attended tbe dedication of the largest aud grandest eperatic structure in the world the Chicago Auditorium. Five thousand electric lights illuminated the interior of tbe colossal structure to the brightness of noonday, and the thousand in candescent border-lights of varied colors that bung over the stage, the magnificent proscenium arch and mammoth organ, the grand foyer and carved mahogany pillars, the handsomest gilded rows of boxes known to the modern decorative art, combined wfth the presence of one ot tbe tncsidistinguished aud critical audiences in America,, rendered the occasion truly one long to .be remem bered by the queen of the evening Madame Adelina Patti, ihi sovereign of song. Tbe Auditorium is equally wonderful in design, size and beauty. Tho design is unique, in that it is the first theatre ever built with the interior shaped like a cone, or speaking trumphet. The stage being taken as the apex of a hollow coue, tho arched roof and diverging walls retreat m a series of con stantly increasing circles, being the acme of acoustic achievement. A few minutes past eight o'clock the presi dential party entered the boxes reserved for them, and as the vast audience lully recog nized the Chief Magistrate of the nation the momentary applause deepened into a long continuous ovation. The magnificent 175 atop organ, with its seven thousand pipes and bells, breathed forth in accompaniment with the- orchestra the triumphal fantasia composed by Theodore Dubois for the mem orable occasion. The scene was one long to bd remembered. Benuty crowned with jew els, statesmanship with honor, and wealth with dignity, harmonized becomingly with the magnificence of tha interior of this grand temple of art. . Among the prominent people who occupied tha boxes were President Harrison, Vice President Morton, Mrs. Morton and Secre tary Halford. In response to loud cries from a thousand throats.
