Il have known many singers ia my
day and heard many stories about them
and their voices, but / have never
heard of but one case where man
willed his voice to another said Mr..
l.. +. Cannon, the baritone, in talking
with your correspondent recently.
4" 'Sher' Campbell, the baritone, who,
with William L. Castle, did so much
in making English opera a success in
this country said Mr.. Cannon, twas
raised in Salem, Mass, the place where

Castle began singing in opera they
were ballad singers in n minstrel
troupe, and excellent ones, too. On
their first trip TO the Pacific coast they
were in q party which included John
Hecker, who had magnificent bari
tone voice. At that time both Camp
bell and Castle were tenor singers.
CampbelPs voice was even higher than
that of Castle. Hecker got sick and
had to be left on the way. He died
soon afterward He felt that he was
going to die, and told all the members
of the troupe that they would never
see him again alive. AS Campbell was

there word came that Johnny Hecker

talked of nothing else all that day and
far into the night. When he woke the

Ii was the taco OF a handsome bru-
nette just verging into womanhood.
On her upper lip and slightly shading
its scarlet hue grew dark silken mus
taehe that on dude would have been
cherished and cultivated rs the choio-
est treasure on earth. Her head rested
in metal plate connected by u wire
with 4 galvanic battery on the table.
The doctor took up from the table
at his elbow something that looked
like an ebony pen staff. This also was
connected with the battery. In the
end was very fine gold-plated needle.
The doctor looked cautiously over the
young lady's dainty little mustache,
and. at length singing out hair, in
serted the point OF the needle down by
the hair-bulb and, pressing Il little
spring in the handle, turned on the
current from the battery.
When the electric current ran down
the point of the needle the young lady
WINGED and clenchcd her hands while
the tears came to her eyes. This lasted
only for moment, for rs soon as q
little froth appeared around the needle
it was removed and the hair dropped
out. After forcing out about II dozen
of the hairs on each side of the lip the
doctor stopped. The young lady re-
moved her head from the metal plate,
wiped her face with q scented pocket
handkerchief, and trippcd gayly TO the
mirror. She took long glance of in
tense satisfaction and gleefully remark
ed that they would soon all be gone.
Then she put on her hat and left, after
having made an appointment for an-
other sitting.

1.-The operation is not very new, "
was the reply. at has been known
and practiced for years, especially in
the East. The electric current decom-
poses the salt in the skin into acid,
which goes TO the metal plate, and the
alkali which accumulates around the
needle destroys the hair-bulb SO that
the hair can never reappear. This
method is also very useful in removing
the ugly bristles that grow in moles,
for the hairs are then large in size and
few in number 1t is only necessary to
spend q few seconds on each hair and
but n few minutes on dozen, after
which rest OF several days IS taken to
allow the Inflammation TO disappear
before undertaking any more. "

HENDERSON AND VEST.
From the Post-D ispatch.I


Henderson's reply to Vest and Vests
rejoinder suggest the question, How
long will republican leaders and cam.
which have been decided against them
SO often and by such overwhelming
majorities in Missouri How long will
they continue to founder in the old
bitches of ancient history, wherein,
aside from their war record, there is
not ing but condemnation and defeat
for them? Will they eve learn that
their one-sided and oft-refuted statistics
which they present as arguments
againts democratic rule, are resented
by the people as untrue and unpatriotic
disparagement of the state? So long
as they stupifedIy persist in posting
their line of battle on that same old
losing ground they must expect to lose.
Whenever they can extricate them
selves from the limbo of dead issues,
put themselves en- rapport with the
spirit of a home loving people, proud
of their state, not ashamed of its past
o Of their fellow citizens, and intent
mainly on its future progress-when-
aver republican leaders come in this
spirit with new issues and new projects
for promoting good government and
the general welfare, they can have a
reasonable hope of carrying Missouri.
But they seem incapable of apprecia-
ting the weakness Of the ground on
which they have been whipped so often
and incapable of providing themselves
with any better weapons than the old
condemned and disabled fusees which
they pick up rusty and worm-eaten on
the scene of former defeats.

STAND BY YOUR PARTY PRINOI-
Piles.
From the Hlgginsville Advanced

From the HIgginsville Advanced
Notwithstanding IL reputed demo-
cratic majority of some 1900 in Lafay-
cite county, in view of the determined
efforts OF the republicans to poll the
full strength OF their party, and defeat
if possible a portion of our ticket, and
to increase their vote in the county, it
stands the democrats in hand to main
tain a solid front, and as much as pos
sible, refute all claims of the opposition
to power. Beside, we have issues OF
state and national Importance that must
not be LETT to suffer by 4 failure on our
part to perform every duty required of
us as a democratic stronghold. The
democrats Of this congressional district
need our united and solid vote in order
to vindicate the rights of the party for
past indiscretions as a congressional
district. The democrats of the state
need our full strength in elevating to
position our candidates for the Offices
to be filed in the state; and to show
the world that Missouri can roll up the
usual large majority for presidential
electors in 1888.
Let each democrat in the county take
a personal pride in going to his respec-
tive precinct on election day, and cast
ing a straight vote for his party. Hear
the speaking, go to the polls, vote the
democratic ticket, and urge
your neighbors to do the same, and
then you Will have done your whole
duty as an American citizen who loves
good government and the pure princi-
pies of the democrtic party.

WHERE THE "SMALL Fry COMES

From the Odessa Democrat

A newspaper editor living in a coun-

8 altogether agricultural, that has
lothing to protect by a high tariff, but
IN the contrary is taxed annually hun
ireds of thousands of dollars to keep in
elegance a few pampered msnufactur-
RS of distant states is unfit to give in
,truction to any one on the tariff, and
small fry" republican sheets, like the
Post, should take note of the fact.
Every blow struck against the lower
ng of the tariff is a blow aimed at the
leaders and supporters of the Post.
Every dollar taken from the pocket of
one nan to add to the gains of another
nan engaged in a private enterprise,
though it be done under the forms of
law, is as much a robbery as if you
should be confronted by a ~highwayman
and made to deliver your purse at the
muzzlc of a pistol. The high tariff is a
monstrosity begotten of the "necessities
of the war" and its continuation Oh the
statute books is a crime and it has been
kept there by the money of its benefc.
iaries wrung from the people with the
double purpose of building up al
Soligarchy of wealth and to perpetuate
the republican party in power.
