GREAT SINGERS.
Few Words About the Length of Vocal

CLEVELAND, Aug. 20.

A Few Words About the Length of Vocal
Chords.
lOriginal.l
The other day at Coney Island saw two
men, one a human organ from which the
other was grinding out rollicking ballads.
The face OF tho wabbler had the resigned
expression of an iguana
And what is an iguanai II is n species of
lizard, with a tail that nature has painted
in parti-colored rings and face so sober
that it frightcns a blind anaconda out of its
appetite.
As looked tenderly on this Thug of the
MUSES. "shorten or lengthen his vocal
chords" thought, "the thousandth part of
an inch, or rather shorten one and lengthen
the other, and what change! This poor
wind jammer Will then be the praise of
thou aud papers, the envy of wis, men, and
the idol of lovely women. His wit, wisdom
| and beauty the universal theme The world
will cast before his feet whatever of rare
and beautiful it possesses. Jealous hus bands
OF gifted ladies will lie dragged through tn,
night air to escort their wives to his con
oerts. Starving poets of genius will be
bribed by crust of bread to immortalize
the hero.
Yet there is the man, plus or minus-I
haven't measured it--a thousandth part of
an inch of vocal chord. There ladies and
gentlemen stands your idol, a pens oner of
heeltaps and of the crumbs Of antique
pretzcls! There stands your hero. before
tattery has corrupted him or womau's wilcs
misled the simple motions of his mind!
Hark to the pathetic refrain:
"Oh, say, did you ever get on TO the dudef'
Great men are often great humbugs.
Great singers ale hardly permitted by
society to be anything else
When the world comes to its senses which
may happen at any time within million or
two years, the true democratic revolution
will take place We shall not then divide
mankind into few stars and mass of wet
matches. We shall not separate man from
man by gull as wide as the distance from
pole to equator, because one has his vocal
chords thousandth part OF an inch longer
or shorter than the other.
Yet in the present disorganzed state of
society the sooner the poor hypochondriac
who is singing "Oh, say, did You ever get
on to the dudef' becomes a producer the
happier he and his hearers will be.

Abraham Lincoln carried scrupulous

CHAPTER /.

wish hal the courage 30 begin this tale
1v turning to my professional visiting
books, AMI taking at random any month
out of the last twenty years, give its record
as fair sample of my ordinary work. Tue
dismal extract would tell you what doc
tor's-I suppose | may say successful doc
tor's-lot is, when his practice lies in poor
mn drns 'ly populated district OF London.
Dreary as such beginning might I've, 1t
would perhaps allay some of the incredulity
which this tale may probably provok', as 1t
would plainly show how little room there Is
for things imaginative or romantic in work
so hard as mine, or among such grim reali-
ties Of poverty, pain and grief as those by
which I have been surrounded. 1t would
certainly make 1t appear extremely unlikely
that should have found time to imagine,
much less to write, romance or melo-
drama
The truth is that when man has toiled
from O'Clock in the morning until clock
at night, such leisure as he can enjoy Is
precious to him, especially when even that
short respite is liable to lie broken i'll upon
at any moment.
Still. in spite of the doleful picture have
drawn of what may be called "the daily
grind, begin this tale with the account of
a holiday.
In the autumn of 1864 turned my back
with right good will upon London streets,
hospitals and patients and took my seat in
the North express. The first revolution of
the wheels sent thrill of delight through
my jaded frame. A joyful sensation of
freedom came over me. | had really got
away at last! Moreover, l had left no
