On the way they passed the rosidence of Chang's family, which is only 8 milcs distant, and soon after- wards thoy halted at the comfortable log stiuc- ture of Mrs. Eng. T'ho nows of tho arrival of the Commission baving spread with almost elegtrio speed, n Inrgo number of peoplo from tho surrounding conutry came pouring in on Lorsebnek and in buggics, and soon quite o crowd wore assembled, all of them anxious and interested speotatora of the scones they woro about to witiexs. A CONBULTATION WITIf THE WIDOWS, The mombers of the Commission wore thsn formally introducod to the widows of thg late twins, both of thom improssing the Commission a8 very proper, dignified, and respeetable wom- on, It a hriof itorview' which thon took place, aud which was participated in only by tho widows, the Comminsion, and the lawyers and modical attondaut of the familics, the members of tho Commission delicately and dofcrentially ot forth the object of their visit, and urged tho {:n portanco to suionco of an examination of tho odios. AX AUTOPSY CONBENTED TO. Aftor a brief dizcussion, during which both the Jadics ovinced congiderable fooling; they cou- sented to tho propositions of the Commission, on tho coudition nud with the distinct under- standing that tho bodies should net be injuris ously mutilated. T'his the Commission sgreed to in a fow moments. Afterwards they descond- ed to tho collar whero the bodios wero intorred. "'his was found to bo a dark butt somewhat spa- clous upartmont, the tloor of which was tho naked earth, the soil nbove tho substrats of rack being of & porous and mouldy naturo, Accompanying the Commission was -n tinner to open tho case in whicls' tho hodies had boon Placed. ‘Tlio &cono 16w was quito o woird and solemn one. The temporary sepulchre way reaclied by o northwestern door from another Dbusomont apacément, and, when the Commission descended, the crowd of neighbors thronged in eud stood silently around - the improvised tomb of tho twins. Tho darkness being intenso, pina wood knots were thon lighted in ono corner, the flickering glavo of which cast ghostly shadows of tho spectntora athwaré the wooden ceiling and aloug the roughly-built granite walls of the room. . OPENING THE TOMD. In tho midst of n deep silénce, and with gront solomnity, tho earth was then romoved from around the ontor woodon case, which was lifted {from its position and conyvoyed to tho apartmont without, Mera .tho outside cage was then taken off, the charcon! removed, and tho tin cnse pre- sentad itgelf- to tho view:: DProcooding -in order, tho tinner then oponed the latter and the inside coffin was oxposed. With groat care this was thon camried to one of the rooms of tho housio up-staira, whore a full and excollont light was obtnined, and, nfter beiug placed in o proper position, the cover was taken off. All the membors of tho Commission and several others presont bent eagorly over tho coffin, the first senantion thoy exporienced being o cadaverio odor, which, however, was mot at all ropulsive. A white gauze muslin covoring being drawn off, the FACES OF TIE DEAD TWINS WERE EXPOSED. The features of Chong wore partislly discol- ored, those of Eng being natural. Both the bodies weora habited in nent biack snits, the coflin was nicoly lued with muslin, and, from the indications 8o far, thoy scemed to bo in & very good stato of preservation. Both the wid- ows thoen camo into the room, each going to tho side of the cdfin upon which lay the remains of ber husband; and with & mournful saduess that was very touching, they took a final farewell, and left them to the doctors, This last tributo elicited from thoso prosont exprespions of re- wpect and sympathy for the sorrowing ladics. A TARTIAL EXAMINATION. " Tho members of the Commission, assistod by th reseut, thou disrobed tho bodies and a partinl oxumination was made, no operation be- g performed, and tho rosult of this was for- lowed by a medical consultation. From what I could glonm it was found the bodios, though vory well prosorved so far, would in a few dnys be in o stato of decomposition, and that the [ surgical oporation, if porformed now, might en- dangor tho ultimato prosorvution of the now do- funck netural curiosity, a consequonce which both the Commission aud tho families woro anxious to avold, 1P was furthor decidod that tho facilities for an autopsy wora 80 mieagro and insullicient that it would not bo wisa to nttompt it on tho present occasion, and that, boaides tho present axaruination and offorts to obtain good photo- graphio views of the ligament and bodigs, tho aporntions of tho Comnussion would bo limited to a partial embalmment to insurc the preserya- tion of the bodies.
