The last point of interest to the public in relation to the Siamese Twins is now apparently settled, It is the question which relates to their hearts, toward the solution of which the medical gentlemen are now slowly and sedulously spproaching, and which finds no place in the official document. The peculiar abnormality of the livers, the union of the two in fetal life, the strange manner in whichan injec. tion forced within the messenteric vein of the one passed into the messenteric yeir; of the other, the inferior structure of the connecting lint, the position of the twe pouches er sacs, evident reflection of the peritoneal membrane and the fact that there existed between the two butacomimon umbilical cord, along with the nature of the cartilaginous attachment from the sterdum of the other, have all been fully and aceur- These were the sole and only facts incorporated within the official report rendered to-day. There were cer- tain statements made which find no place in the report—namely, the circumstance ot the one who died first draining all the blood from the one wko died last, along with many other minute particulars which were of the greatest interest to the pub | lie. | There is nothing now remaining te in- vestigate save the peculiar position of the hearts. The livers of the twain sere on the opposite sides and laid in close connec- | tion. By the natural law of of homologous union, the position of hearts are the same. Thei_ apexes incline towards each other, | but,’unlike the livers, they never could have been one and the same, or, of course, | both would have died in the same hour | The heart of Eng is upon the right side. | and the heartof Chang is tipon the jeft ; | hence that of one is strangely and abnor- | mally placed. Fiuid injected into the | heart of one failed to find its way to the heart of the other, as was the case when | the livers, located near the bond of union | were operated upon. This is the last fact which establishes the individuality of each | In life their sympathies, passions, emotions, | inclinations, and personal habits were de- | cidedly estranged and this circumstance j alone, without any keen anatomical seru- ‘tiny, would have shown the individuality | of their heart and brain. Two individual: brought from different extremes of the world could have passed through the nam- ber of years allotted to the twins with les« disagreement and conflict than these two incongruous, unsympathetic children forced constantly to bear each and complaints There is no further use of denying what has already been indirectly hinted at —viz., that from the time the twins passed from under the knife they became the common woperty of the country and the world. Vhen the last curious scrutiny of science shall have been satisfied, and when one | scans no more the columns of the daily | popere to learn the mysterious secrets of their union, the two, in public halls and theatres, will be exposed to view, and as the | living journeyed from place to place, so | will the dead hither and thither be freight- ‘ed, Thestrictand stringentcontract whieh the family made known through your columns indicates this, and every stage of the autopsy has begn carried on with such intent. The sympathetic somewhat cul- tured disposition of the eldest daughter shadders at this, and the voices of their children cry loudly out against it; but the wives of the twain, urged on, it appears, by a few individuals for the sake of gain, seem to be determined, and once again the Siamese Twins will appear to the world, not as living breathing souls—a etranye freak of nature- but as dull and stark othere lhurdens <o-pses — corpses rendered interesting only 4 slow and because of the sensation of a _wearied post-mortem,
