Thi i.AhKLl'lUA ct..--The Press to -nu u rovv will publish the letter of Se:retary lUaine accepting the tender of the State Depart ment, made him by the late President Garfield: Washington, December 20, isso. My DeabGakfield Your generous Invitation to euter your Cabinet as Secretary of State has been under consideration for more than three weeks. The thought bud really never occurred to my mind until at our late conference you presented it with such cogent argument in its favor and with such warmth of personal friendship in aid of your kind ofier. I know that an earlv answer is desirable, and I have only waited lone enougn to consider the subject in all it boat ini and to make ud my mind definitely and conclusively. I uöw say to you in the tame cordial spirit in which you have iuvited me that I accept the position. it is no anectauon ior me to ana mat l make this decision, uot for the honor of the promotion it gives in the public service, but because I think I can be useful to the country and to the party ; useful to you as a responsible leader of the l ariv and the great head of the Government. I am in fluenced somewhat, pernaps, by the shower of letters I have received, urging me to accept, written me in consequence of mere unauthorized news paper reports, tbat you had been pleased to offer me the place. hile 1 have received these letters from all sections of the Union. I have been sjeci illy pleased, and even surprised at the cordial and widely extended feeling in my favor throughout New England, where I had exacted to encouuter local jealousy and perhaps rural aspiration. In our new relation, l hall give all that I am and all that I can hope to be. freely and joyfully to your Bervice. You need no pledge of my loyalty in heart ana in act. 1 should be false to myself did I not prove true; both to the great trust you conrue to me and to your own personal and political features in the present and in the future. Your administration must be made brilliantlv, successful and strong in confidence and pride U the people, not at all directing its energies for re-election, and yet com pelling that result by logic of events and by the imperious necessities of the situation. To that most durable consummation I feel that next to yourself. 1 can powäbly contribute as much in fluence as any other one man. i say this not from egotism or vain glory but merely as a deduction from a plain analysis of the politic 1 forces which have been at woric In the country for five years past and which have been significantly shown in two great National Conventions. I accept it a one of the happiest circumstances connected with this affair that, in allying my political fortunes with yours, or rather for the time merging mine in yours, my heart goes with my head, aud in that 1 carry to you not only political support, but perso al and devoted friendship. I can but regard it as somewhat remarkable that two men of the same age, entering Congress at the same time, influenced by the same aims, and cherishing the same ambitions,, should never for a single moment in eighteen yean close the intimacy, have had no misunderstanding or coolness, and that our friendship ha steadily grown with our g-owth aud strengthened with our strength. It is this fact which has led me to the conclusion embodied in this letter. For hbwever much, my dear Garfield, I might admire you as a statesman. I would not enter your Cabinet if 1 did not be lieve in you as a man and love, ypu as a friend. Always faithtuiiy yours, James G. Blaine. 1 The IHoomington 111., Lynching. The Chicago Times Sunday flight special says: The terrible tragedies of last night were the only theme discussed in the city. Groups of citizens in Sunday attire gravely and earnestly talked them over on every street corner. Thousands visited the demolished Jail, vfcwed the room in which the ill-fated Jailer Frank met his terrible death, and lingered about, examining the work of battering-rams, sledges, aiA! hammers, the ghastly remindeis of the awful scene. They gazed at tfce crimson-stained bed on which Frank breathed his last, the blood-stains on the walls and door. On the elm tree on which Pierce, the murderer, was hanged was nailed the following card: "Axman, axmau. spare this tree, und never touch a single bough ; and may God spare this elm tree forever to grow to mark where the first justice to a murderer ever was done in McCleau County: and may the good people stand by the boys that did it." Thousands of men, women and children saw the ghastiy corpse of Pierce as it lay In the ice casket at the undertaker's, the three-fourth inch m&'iila rope still holding its deadly cluch about his discolored throat. Many turned sick at the sight. One bent and feeble old lady looked into the distorted face and said: "Oh. my God, my God, w.ine jo r mother's boy!" and burst into convulsive tears There seems absolutely no pity for the victim of Judge Lynch among the people in general, and no regret that he is dead. Several prominent men have already acknowledged complicity, ard say they felt it their duty. There Is. however, a great body of people who deprecate most em phatically the way in which he met his death, but no general dissatisfaction at the course events took. The most disgraceful feature of all was the brutality to the dying and dead murderer, whose body while hanging was subjected to the grossest insult Mot becoming to the mont brutal savage. The pants were ripped from the body and a lighted cigar stuck in the gaping moutn. One plug-ugly, more atrocious thart the rrst, slid down the rope with great force to the shoulders of the struggling victim. ' Small boys hooted, yelled and taunted him, calling bitn all manner of vile uames. He was game to the last. As he was being dragged out by the rope around his neck, ha said to Fire Marshal Ohus: "Good by. old man. I guess I'll have to go' Yes," was the reply, "you'd betta? make your mind up to die.' f ; Well." said Pierce, "hake 4hands, and goodby, old man." The terrible earnestness of the mob is shown by the fact t.iat the had a keg of gu-i powdei ready to blow up the Jail if they failed to batter it down. A conflict came near being precipitated during the riot by Ivory H Pike in the Jail office aiding ihe Sheriff. attemrU"r to shoot into the crowd. It was discovered this inormng that Patsy Devine hal been smuggled out ol thw Jail during the riot by the Shedtr; who passed him through the front door carelessly with sir ther men. He was hustled Into a buggy, driven to Danverti, and is now in Peoria Jail. No one recognized him. Universal sorrow Is manifested over the death of Franks, who prill be buried at 10 to-morrow n orrilng. The nost atrocious fea ture in his murder Is that be bid Leen especially kind to Pierce, aiid had treat ijhira Indulgent. y. The inquest on his body resulted in a verdict of murder - 1 Death of a Grat Mormon Leader. A Salt Lake special of the 3d says: Orson Pratt, one of first quorum of Mormon apostles, died this morning, aged seventy years, lie was the ablest theologian in the Church, and was recognized widely as the Paul of Mormomlsm. He was Dr. Newman's opponent in a threedays' discussion tu the Mormon Tabernacle some years ago, on which occasion it was quite generally acceded by Gentiles as well as claimed by Mormons, that bs came out ahead on the affirmative of the questiou, "Does the Bible sane jIt. polygamy V For some years he had been Cb j -ct" historian.

KINO OF TUE SANDWICU ISLANDS. While presenting to-day to our readers the ior trait of Kalakaua, King of the Hawaiian or Sand wich Islands, who has just arrived in thi: country, we are forcibly struck w ilh the fact that the foi great gospel me.-scngors the printing press, the iron horse, the ocean steamer and the telegraph have drawn the ends of the earth so closely together as t make h common hearthstone of the world around which all Nations, kindreds and tongues may coiiirivgate und hold immu rrupted converge, so to speak. The great National exhibi tions which have fr to far characterized the latter half of the present century illustrate with force the truth of this observation: and even now. while we write, we have a still further exemplilicaiion of the power and influence of these mighty agents tnrougn me presence ot tins swarthy monarch in our midst, who represents a ieople that, although redeemed from utter barbarism within the last sixty years, are now ab-ut to nter into rivalry with the world at Urge in all the arts of peace. King Kalflkatrn lavid) who has just completed a tour of the world in the interest of his subjects was born at Honolulu in 1 S.J6. He is descended from the ancient kings of the island of Hawaii, and was educated at the royal school of his native city an establishment said to he thor oughly Ktielish throughout. In 160 he paid a visit to California, and in 1874 to New York, where he was so struck with our cnterorise and growing greatness that he then aud there formed the resolution to make the grand tour upon which he started on the 2sth of last January, and which he intends to bring to a close toward the end of the ensuing month. October. When his father, Lunalilo. died, in 1S71, he was elected King by the Legislature, thirty-nine votes having been given for him against six for Lis rival, the dowager Queen, Emma. A riot in favor of the Queen took place upon the occasion, but owit.g to the interference of an American and an Knglish vessel of war. then lying in the harbor.it was speedilv quelled, and Kalakaua placed securely upon the throne. His majes'y, who is supposed to be traveling incognito, has len accompanied during his present tour by Attorney General William N. Armstrong, of the Hawaiian Islands, wh.i travels with him as one cf his four Ministers of State, by Colonel Judd, his first Chamberlain, and by Major McFarlaud and many domestics. His first visit was to San Francisco, where he was entertained most sumptuously, as he has been at the Courts of the various countries on his programme. He next went to Sacramento and thence to Japan, wher the was theguest of the Kmperor and was entercained by the Mikado and Princes of t!ie royal blood. Having attained the thirtythird decree of Mrtsolirv. thi- fra!ri:if v f-nnord I him a ball at Yokohama, but the massacre of the Kmperor of Kussia occurring at the time, the Idea of giving the festival was abandoned. He next visited China, but in consequence of bad weather did not go to I'ekin. although met at Tien Tsin by LI Hung Cha; g. the first citizen of the Empire. He visited Hong Kong, however, where he was entertained in tho name of the Queen of England by the (iovernor of the Colony. After this he proceeded to Slam, where ne became the guest of the Governor, and visited many places of interest under the most distinguished guidance. We next find him at Singapore with sir Frederic k Weht, the English Governor, and afterward at Calcutta. From this latter place he proceeded to lienares, the sacred city of India, ami thence to Bombay, where he visited the Silent Tower where the bodies of the dead were once exposed to be devoured by vultures. From Bombay lie sailed for Egypt, where the Khedive took him in a royal car to Cairo, and where he saw the pyramids and various other objects of interest. He then went to Alessandria, and crossed the Mediteranean to Naples, w here he was received by the King and Queen of Italy. From Naples he proceeded to Koni?, where he had an interview with the Pope; and from Rome he set forth for England, where he became the guest of Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales. The next point of his journey was Brussels, where he exchanged visits with King Leopold: and then we find him at Berlin, where he was received by Prince William, the Mmperor being absent. Fiom here he went to Vient a, where he was entertained by Wm. Walter Phelps, the American Minister, and met several distinguished American gentlemen, to this succeeded Paris, where, in the absence of the President of the Freuen Republic, he was m-t by the Minister of Foreign Atlairs. and was entertained by M. de Leseps. From Paris he journeyed to Madrid, and thence to Lisbon, where he was entertained by the King of Portugal. From Lisbon he returned to Paris, where he remained for a fortnight, seeing all that was to be seen. Then, hastening to Loudon once more, he made a visit to .Scotland, and sailing on the 13th instant for America, he has just lauded at New York, where it is his intention to remain for a few days, and whence he intends to proceed to Washington and "various other places of interest, returning to hi dominions, as we have already said, toward the close of the next mouth. Although Kalskaua speaks English fluently, he does not. says a Paris journal, understand a single word of French. He wears the European costume with a familiarity and grace the most facile, and comports himself in all respects like an Arne ican gentleman. Alinough well proportioned, he is below tho middle height, and has a slight tendency to corpulency. His complexion Is dark brown, his hair black as night, his forehead large, and his eyes dark, brilliant and piercing. His nose is aquiline, and his lips curved and somewhat sensual, while his whole nppcaranco. bespertfcy frankness and good nature, but not to the exclusion of a lofty dignity. Kalakaua has, it is said, observed much in his travels, whit h he intends turning to good account when once more in hi Ki nudum. He is reported to be just, urbane and most popular among his subjects. Whether he shall return to his realms with the smack of gaudy foreign courts and a love of exensive pageantry remains to be seen; but the chances are that u Prii-ea of such reputed good sense may only have borrowed a salutary less m from these oppressive relics of ancient despotism. OFFICIAL. AUTOl'aY Of the Ilody of the Late President Gai field at Frnncklyn Cottage, Klberon, X. J., Eighteen Hours After Ills Death. Philadelphia, Oct. 1. The October issue of the American Journal of Medicine contains the following official report of the autopsy of President Garfield, prepared by the surgeons in charge: Oihciul iccord of the post mortem examination of the body of President J. A. Garfield, made September 20, ISSJ, coramenclnz at 4:30 p. m., eighteen hours after his death at Francklyn Cottage. Elt eron, N. J. Present and assisting Dr. If. W. Bliss; surgeon General .1. K. Bnies, United States Army; Surgeon J. J Woodward, United States Army: l)r. Robert Key burn. Dr. Frank 11. Hamilton, l)r. Ii. Hayes Agnew, Dr. Audrew II. Smett, of Eibcron and New York, and Acting AssistantSurgeon D.S. Lamb, of the Army, Medical Museum. Washington. Before commencing the examination a consultation was held by these physicians in a room adjoining that in whicli the body lay, and it was unanimously agreed that the dissection should be made by Dr. Lamb, and that Surgeon Woodward should record the observations made. It was further unanimously agreed til et the cranium should uot be opened, and Surgeon Woodward then proposed thi 'he examination should be conducted a; folio - 'l tat the body should be viewed external lj . mi! any morbid appearances existing reC'iJt; that a catheter should then be passed f M' if.', wound, a? M as done during life, to wash It, -ji i?f the purpose of a-sisting to rind the posiof the bullet; that ' a iguäp.

This order of procedme was unanimously agreed to, and the examination

was then proceeded with, and the following external appearances, were observed: The body was considerably emaciated, but the face' was much less wasted than the limbs. A preservative fluid had bet n injected by theembalmera few hours before into the left' femoral artery. The pipes used for that purpose were still in position. The Interior surface of the body presented no abnormal aplea ranees, and there w as no ecchymosis or other discoloration of any part of the front of the abdomen. Just below tne right ear aud a little behind it there

was an oval ulcerated opening, about an inch m diameter, from which some saueous pus was es caping, but no tumefaction could be observed In ttcpan.til tenon. A considerable number pus puni like spots were -rittered thickly over the iett scapiiirt. and thence forward as far a the n.xill. They ranged from one eighth to one-tour: u of an inch i diameter. wen slightly elevated and furfuracoous on stirluce, and many of them w ere confluent in groups oi two and jour or more, a similar but much mote abundaMt etuptonwas observed sparsely scattered over the coiresionning regions. On the right sWe wa. an oval excavated ulcer about an f inch long. The result of a small carbuncle was I cited over the spinous process of the length dorsal vertebra. Over the sacram there were f ur small ned sores, the largest about half an inch in diame ter. A lew ace re pustules and a number of Jrregultir spots of . pest mortem hypostatic congestion wore seutlerel ver the shoulders, back and buttock. The interior part of the scrotum was much discolored In hypostatic congestion. A group of hemorrhoidal tumors, rather larger than a walnut, proti u dt-d from the anus. The de Dressed cicatrix of tne wound made by the pistol bullet was recog nized over ihe tenth intercostal space, three and a h:uf inches to the right of the vertebra; spines. A deep linear incision was made in the parts by the operation of July, and extended by that of August?, and occupied a posiiioii closely corres ponding to the upper border of the right twelfth rib. It commenced posteriously about two Inches from the vertebral spines, aud extended forward a little more than three inches. At the anterior extremity of this incision there was a deep.nearly square, aoraueu suriace, aooui an incn across, A well-oiled flexible catheter, fourteen inches long, was theu passsd into this wound as had been done to wash out during life More resistance was a first encountered than had usually been the case, but after several trials the catnerter entered without violence its full length It was then left in position and thebody disposed supinely for the examination of the viscera. The cranium was not opened. A long incision was maue irom tne superior extremity of the sternum totnepuDis, toiiowea ry a transverse incision, crossing the abdomen firjt elow the umbilicus. The four naps then forinc d were turned back and the abdonili at viscera exposed. The sub cutaneous adioHe tissue was divided by incisions a a nttie more tnau oue-elgntn. of an inch thick over the throat, but was thicker over the abdomen, being about a quarter of an inch thick along the liiiea alba, aud as much as half an inch thicker towards the outer extremity of the transverse incision, (n an innpection of the abdominal viscera in the sitna ti e transver.-e colon was observed to He a little above the line of the umbilicus. It was firmly luuereui to tne autenor enge oi tne liver. The Kreater omentum covered the intestines pretty thoroughly from the transverse colon almost to the pubis. It was still finite fat, and was very much blackened by venous congestion. Ou both sides its lateral margins were adherent to aMominal pariotes o s op left posiie wie cicvcnin ana iwemn ribs, on the Mde the adnesions were numerous from well orguidedaud probably old A foot note here says these adhesions and the fiim ones on the right side, as weil as those of the suleeu. nossihlv date back to an attack of chronic djsintery, from wnicn tne patient is saia to nave suffered during the civil war. Ou the right side there were a few similar adhesions, and a number of more delicate and probably recent ones. A mass of coagulated blood covered and concealed the spleen, and left a margin of greater omentum. On raising the omentum it was found that these blood marks extended through the left lumbar and iliac regions, and dipped down Into the pelvis, ia which there was some clotted blood. and rather more than a pint of bloody fluid. A loot note nere says a latve part of this fluid had probably transuded from the iniection material of the embalmer.J The blood coagula having been turne! out anu collected, measured verv nearly a pint. It was now evident that secondary homarthage had been the immediate cause of death, but the point from which the blood had escaped was not adherent to the intestines, which were moderatelv dis tended w ith gas. No intestinal adhesions were found other than those between the transverse colon and liver, already mentioned. The abdominal cavity being now washed out as thor oughly as iMissible, a fruitless attempt was made to obtain some indication of the position of the bullet before making any futther incisions. By pushing side the extremity of the catheter, which had been passed into the wound, it could be felt between the peritoneum and the right iliac foscia, but it had evidently doubled upon itself, and. although a prolonged search was made, nothing could be seen or felt to indicate the presence of the bullet either In that region or elsewhere. The abdomi nal viscera were then carefullv removed from the body, placed in suitable vessels and examined seriatim, w ith the following results: The adhesions between the liver aud the transverse colon proved to have formed an abscess cavity between and under the surface of the liver. The transverse meso c Ion, which involved the gall bladder and extended to about the some distance on each side of It. measuring six inches trans versaiy, and four inches from" before, backward. This cavity was lined by a thick pygenic membrance which completely replaced the capsule of that part of the under-surface of the liver occupied by the abscess. It contained about two ounces of greenish. Yellow fluid, a mixture of pus and billiarv matter. This abscess did not involve only a portion of the substance f t the liver except the surface with which it was in contact, and no communication could be determined between it and any part of the wound. Some recent peritoneal adhesions existed between the upper surface of the rieht loh of the liver and diaphragm, the liver was larger man normal, weigning eighty-four ounces. Its substance was firm, but . of a pale, yellowish color on its surface and throughout the interior of the organ, from fatty deceleration . No evidence that it had been penetrated by the bullet could be found, nor were mere auy abscesses or infractions In any part of its tissue. The spleen was connected with the diaphragm by adnesions. There were ceveral rather deep congenial Assures in it margins, giving it a tabulated appearance. It was abnorm ally large, weighing eighteen ounces, of a very dark lake color, both ou the suriace and on the section. Its parenclyma was soft aud flabby but contained no abscesses or infractions. There were some recent peritonial adhesions between the posterior wall of the stomach and, the posterior abdouiiual parietes. With this exception no abnormalcies were discovered in the stomach or intestines, nor were there any other evidences o general or bcnl peritonitis found besides these alieady specified. The right kidney weighed six ounces, the left kidney seven. J usv beneath the cHp.su 1 of the left kidney, at about the middle of its convex border, there .. was little abscess one third of an inch iu diameter. There were three small serious cysts on the conuex border of the right kidney Just beneain its capsule, iu ail other respecfc the tissue of both kidneys was normal in appearance and in texture, i he urinary bladder was empty. Behind the right kidney, after the removal of 4hat organ from the body, the dilated track of the bullet was dissected into, and It was found that from the point at which it had fractured the right eleventh rib, three inches aud a half to the right of the vertebral spines, the missile had gone to the left, and obliquely forward, passing through the body of the first lumbar vertebra, and lodging in the adipose connective tissue. Immediately belov.' the lower border of the pancreas, about two inches and a half to the lett of the spinal column, aud behind the peritoneum. It had become completely encysted. The track of the ballet be tween the point at which i it had fractured the eleventh rib and that at which it entered the first lumlar vertebra was considerably dilated, and pus hid burrowed downward through toe adipose tissue behind the right kidney, and thence had found its way between the peritoneum aud the eighth ilica fascia, making a descending channel which extended almost to the groin, i ne adipose tissue behind tne Kidney in the vicinity of this descending channel was much thickened and condensed by inflammation. and in the channel which was found almost free from pus lay the .flexible catheter introduced n to the wound at the oommencemunt of the utopsy Its extremity was found doubled upon Itself, turned iatelv beneath the peritoneum, reposing ou thelliac fascia, where the channel dilated into a pouch oiconsiderable size.. This long descending channel, now clearly seen ta have been caused by tue burrowing of pus from the wound, was supjeeu uuriug me to have been the tract oi me ullet . The last dorsal, together with the flnt aad second lumbra vertebra and the last rib, was then reiuovod form the back for more thorough -exam-ination, and when the elimination was made It was found that the bullet had penetrated the lornbra vertebra in upper part of right side, and the aperture by which it entered involved the inter yertebral cariildge next above and was situated, just below aud anterior to the intei vertebral JoW iu en. from which its upper margin was about , one qaurter of au incn distant. Passing obliquely to the left and forward through the upper iart of the body of the first l'juihar vertebra, the bullet emerged by an aperture, the center of which was about half an inch to the left of the median line, and which also inrohtd the inter-vertebral cartilage next above the cancellated tissue of the body of the first lumbar vertebral, was very much coraminated, fragmecta

Fi-rab iiit an iuch from this cyct the track of the lx.ll behind the pancreas was completely obliterated bv the healln? trocvs. Thence as far backward as the body of the first lumbar vertebra the track was filled with coagulated blood which extended ou the left into a re u J sir space rent iu the ad j-lining adipose ti.ue behind the peritoneum and above the pariorea. T:e bl.iod hod worked Its way to the left, burstlrg fira'ly through the peritoneum behind the upleeu and into the abdominal cavity. The rending ,f the tissues by extravasation ol the blood was un doubtedly the cause of the paroxysms of pain wuieh occur; ed a shoit time befoie his deatli. This mass of c- agulated blood a of irregul.ir form, and nearly as large as man s fist. It could be distinctly seen from in fmnt throuzh the peri tr neura after its site behind the greater curvature of the stomach had been exposed by dissection of greater omentum from the stomach, and espec tally aitei some de.icate adhesious between the stomach and that part of the peritoneum covering tne uiooa mass hau peeu uroken aown bv tue tie lingers. From relations of the mass as thus seen. it was be Ileved that hemorrhage had preceded from one of the mesenteric arteries, but as it was clear that a minute disseciiou would be requtied a. J . - l - - l l. a 1. w ueierraine particular Drancu involved, u was agreed that the Infiltrated tissues and adjoi. i.-g soil pails should be preseived tor subsequent study. At au examinatiou and dissection made iu accordance with this agreement, it w.is found that the fatal hemorrhage proceeded from a rent nearly four-tenths of an inch long in the main trunk of tlie si.leiilc artery two inches aud a half to the lef t of the celiac axis. The rent must have oc curred at least several nays before hiide;ttu, si fee the everted edges in the t-lit in the vessel were united bv firm adhesions to the surrounding connective tissue, thus forming an almost continuous wall bounding the adjoiuing portion of the blood clot. Moreover, the peripheral portion of the clot in this vi cinity was dispersed in pretty firm, concentric layers. It was further found that the cyst below the lower margin of the pancreas. in which the bullet was found, was situated three iuches and a half to the left of the celiac axis. Besides the mass of coagulated blood just described another, about the size of a walnut, was found in the greater omentum, near the splenic extremity of the stomach. The communication between this and the larger hemorrh agic mass could not be made out. The examination of thoracic viscera resulted as follows: The heart weighed eleven ouces. All the cavities were entirely empty ex cept the right ventricle, in which a few fhri ds of soft, reddish coagulated blood adhered to the internal surface. U:i the surface of the mitral valve there were spots of fatty degeneration; with this exception the cordiac valves were normal. The muscular tissue of the heart was soft, and tore easily. A lew spots of fatty degeneration existed in the liuiug oi tne membraue of the aorta, just above the semi-lunar valves, and a slender clot of fibrin was found in the aorta. where it was divided about two inches from these valves for the removal of the heart. On the right slight pleuritic adhesions ex isted between the convot surface of the lower lobe of tke lung, and costal pleura and firm adhesions between the anterior edge of the lower lobe of the pericardium and the diaphragm. The right lung weighed thirty-two ounces. The posterior part of the fissure between its upper and lower lobes waa congenitally incomplete. The lower lobe of the right lung was hypostatically coiiested and considerable portions, especially toward it? base, were the seat of brouchi pneumonia. The Ibronchial tubes conta ned a considerable quantity of stringy muco put. and their mucus surface was reddened by catarrhal bronchitis. The lung tissue was cedematous. A foot note here says: A. part, at least of this condition, was doubtless due to the extravasation of injection fluid used by the embalmer, but contained no abscesses or infractions. On the left side the lower lobe of the lung was bound behind to the cozal plura. above to the upper lobe, and below to the diaphragm by pretty firm pleuritic adnesions. . Tae left lung weighed twenty-seven . ounces. The condition of its bronchial tubes and of the lung tissue was very nearly the same as on the rieht side, the chief difference being that the area of the bronch. pneumonia in the lower lobe was much less extensive in the left lung than in the right. The lateral part of the lower lobe of the left lung and about an inch from its pleural suriicu there w. a group of four piinute areas of gra. hepatJ?.atlon, each about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. There were no infarcations and no abscesses in any part of the lung tissue. The surgeons assistWf at the autopsy were unanimously of the opinion that, on reviewing the history of the case In connection with the autopsy, it is quite- evident that different suppurating surfaces, and especially a fractured, spongy tissue of vertebra, furnish sufficient explanation of the septic condition which existed during life. About an hour after the post mortem examination was completed, the physicians named at the commence ment oi tnis report assemDiea tor turtner consultation in an adjoining cottage. A brief outline of the results of the post mortem examination was drawn i. p. signed bv all the physicians, and handed to 1'rivate Secretary J.
