By universal request Jefferson Davis was

ranks, many callnnt soldiers, whose u. flinch-'
iug valor displayed on numerous hotly-contested
fields, resulted, not unlnquently, in
both glory and victory to "the Stars and

'Eteven-thirty was the hour at which tbe
funeral .ceremonies were to be commenced,
but long previous to tbat time r the great
square immediately fronting tbe City Hail
httd become an un wieldly mass of eager hu
manity. According to program, She tquare
proper was to be reserved exclusively for
the military. In the enforcement of this in
junction, however, tbe large but by nop.eans
dquto police lorce on duty experienced
innumerable obstacles, and it was wicn the
ftrea test Uifficuly that the swaying multitude
was kept beyond i he prescribed envirouinents
The streets, banquettes and every available

the municipal buildings were crowded almost
to suffocation.' During all this time tbe air

-..The body, notwithstanding the very warm
and exceptionally oppressive weather of the

. At 12, 1U the casket was conveyed from the
memorial room to an improvised catafalque
in the centre of tbe fi ontponico, where mas
sive piliers were tn twined with a profusion
of crape. Over the casket was thrown the
soif folds of a silken flig of the Confederacy,
as also the glittering saber which the dead
soldier had wielded on tbe crimson fields of
Chapultepeo and Monterey, immediately
surrounding the colli u were the clergy ami
L the armed sentinels, they being tbe only per

ing the service. The relatives of the deceased
were assigned to sats in the Mayor' parlor,
from the w.ndows of which they were en
abled to witness the ceremonies.
The obscquiee, which were according to

Even beiore noon, when the religious cere
monies were just beginning, people gathered
within tbe haaowed precincts or tbe romun

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.

A GREAT TEMPLE OF MUSIC.
Opening of ihe Chicago Auditorium
President Ilariisou, There.
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. President Fred W. Peck, of tbe Au
ditorium Association, finally gave in to tbe
popular demand for a speech from tbe mm
in whose bruin the Chicago Auditorium firsr.
found conception, ami in langua.ee deepened
with emotion, assured the asfieuiblaxA that
tbe present occasion marked the proudest r f
his life.
Mr. Peck escaped further congratulation
of the audience by saying: "Ladies en i
Gentlemen 1 have the distinguished bonur
of Intro lucing to you the President of l
United State,". Great appl ine,
After tli.-1 applause hid som !;t: suV-id-: !.
