CAMPAU'S THREE HOME RUNS.
They Net Him a Puroo of S6O at New
Orleans.
New Orleans, June 7. —New Orleans
played phenomenal ball to-day. batting hard
and fielding brilliantly. Powell’s pitching
was not solved to any extent, and great
catches made a number of Nashville's hits
futile. Geiss played a splendid second base,
and Pujol’s centre field work was
superb. Nashville played an equally
fine fielding game, and New Orleans
was compelled to earn nine of
its ten runs. This tells how hard
the locals hit Bradley. Some remarkable
slugging was done by Campau, who made
three home runs. The crowd presented him
with §6O, the ladies subscribing with the
rest. Maul and Ewing will pitch to-day.

SIMPLY WONDERFUL..
An Interesting Account of the Strong
est Surgical Operation of the Day.
A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: A young and wealthy New-
Yorker, who has been as bald as a billiard
ball, will soon go back into society with a
head of curly hair which was produced for
him by transplantation from a clog. His
case is one of the mast remarkable surgical
operations over known in this city, and per
haps in the world. The young inan is the
private patient of Dr. Kane, the consulting
surgeon of St. Elizabeth Hospital. He is the
son of a well-known dry goods merchant, and
lives in an elegant nuulsion on Fifth avenue.
The young man was graduated front Colum
bia College about two years ago, and was
sent to the University at Heidelberg to com
plete his education. It was there that he
met with a painful accident. He had taken
a special course in chemistry, and spent
much of liis time in the laboratory in the
capacity of teachers’assistant. One evening,
while clone, he was overcome by the vapor
of sulphuric acid, and before he could get to
the open air fell unconscious. As he rolled
over his head entered an open tire-place
where there was a large log burning, and
his hair caught <>n fire. He was found
shortly afterwards. His head was in a
frightful condition. The flesh running from
the forehead to the shoulders in the back of
the neck was roasted. When he was lifted
to the floor portions of
THE SCALP FELL OFF,
exposing the bone. His tace was not much
injured, save for about an inch on the fore
head. He was taken to his room, and there
began the battle for his life. It was feared
that the brain had been affected, ns he re
mained in a comatose condition. There was
a watery deposit injthe lungs,but it could not
be determined whether this was due to the
inhaling of the vapor of the acid or the
flame from the fire. The lung symptoms
became worse rapidly, and all
hope was given up of saving his
life. The best physicians in Ger
many were called to attend him, and every
thing was done that was known in medical
science. Nearly all the flesh sloughed off
from the skull, leaving a patch here and
there, like an oasis in a desert . The strongest
things in the young man’s favor were the
exemplary life he had led, and the attention
he had given to the preservation of his health
and the development of his physical system.
These stood him in better stead than the wis
dom of his physicians, and when they had
given him up nature stepped in, asserted her
power, and brought the injured man back
from
THE .TAWS OF HEATH.
It was a,long time before hislungs healed,
ami much longer before the horrible wound
became well enough to remove the skull-cap
bandage that he wore. When he recovored
his strength and came home, the terrible
disfigurement of the cicatricial tissue in the
scalp was hidden under a wig. The wig
would have been all right but for the fact
that it set up an annoying irritation de
veloped into a distressing inflammation
from which a discharging ulcer was
formed. The wigs had to be aban
donee!. Several physicians were consulted,
and various things were tried to give relief
with little success. When Dr. Kane's atten
tion was called to the case there was an
ulcerated’surface about as large as a silver
dollar in the top of the back head. He sug
gested the iierformance of a plastic opera
tion, or the transplantation of skin. The
patient expressed his wiliingness to undergo
anything, however painful or inconvenient,
and as he was in a fair physical condition
work was begun at once. This was several
months ago. Asa preliminary test
A SMALL SECTION OF SKIN
And flesh was cut from the patient's breast
and placed m the centre of the ulceration
in the scalp, which liar! been previously
scraped until it bled profusely. The skin
took root in an astonishing short time, much
to the gratification of the patient and physi
cian, and from the outer border of the
transplanted skin little shoots of healthy
tissue protruded into the neighlioring flesh
and gi-ew rapidly. Other pieces were taken
from the patient's breast and W'ere placed
near the first piece, and all took fast hold
without any sloughing of tissue.
This was continued until the entire ulcer
ated surface had healed and presented a
healthy appearance. In the new flesh which
had been thus formed there was an active
growth of capillary substance, showing that
the hair cells had not been destroyed. This
led Dr. Kane to suggest a novel experiment,
which, if successful, would not only cover
the head of the patient with flesh, but also
with a beautiful growth of curly hair. It
was nothing less than to try and transplant
the skin of a dog to the patient’s head. It
took some time for the patient to overcome
the natural aversion to such an operation,
but finally he gave his consent, especially as
his wealth and social position could not
compensate for the horrible deformity in his
heaa.
A LARGE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG
Was procured with a fine coat of hair, and
the patient was put under the influence of
ether in liis own room. Dr. Kane had sev
eral assistants, one of whom scraped a por
tion of the fle.-h from the top of tnepatient’s
head. While this was being done the dog
was l*ing aiurstbetized. The hair on one
of its thighs was cut close and an indision
was mode several inches long. A parallel
incision was made near the first one, and at
the lower end them incisions were joined by
h third one. The flesh and skin were then
dissected up for several inches, leaving the
large flap united to the dog at the upper
end.
The dog had been placed in an adjustable
framework on wheels, and be was rolled to
the patient's side and raised even with the
head. While the blood was ]x>tiring from
the dog’s flesh it was placed upon the pa
tient's head and pressed finnlv into position.
Strips of adhesive piaster were run in
various directions over the dog's flesh and
the patient’s head, and niter the entire
wound had I sen dusted with chloroform
bandages were applied. The dog’s legs and
body hrd b previously strapped so that
nothing could be moved but tne head, and
this was permitted to be moved only side
ways. ’I he patient’s head was also held by
supports in such a position as to take the
strain from tho neck and restrict all mo
tion.
THE OPERATION
look a><out an hour and a half, anil when
the pa* hint became conscious fortunately
there was no vomiting from the ether. The
relative positions of dog and man were
maintained for a week. The dog was fed
regularly, but rlid not seem to enjoy his
food. Tiie patient's condition was splendid,
and when tne flap was severed from the dog
it was found to lie firmly united to the
head. As the healing went on some of the
hair dropped out, but enough was left to
make a nice fringe on the forehead. The
experiment was remarkably suceausful, and
as soon as'the flesh had healed it was tried
again with good result. Tho work was
kept up until there had been thirteen
distinct ojierotion*. All were successful
save two, and in these the dog s flesh
sloughed off. It took two dog>s to furnish
the flesh, the first one having died from the
seventh operation from blood poisoning.
The seeonn dog is alive, and goes around
with a bal l spot at his thigh. The patient’s
head is covered with hair, and it looks natu
ral. When combed there is liardly a trace
of deformity, but when the hair is raised
wars can be seen where the hair ijoes not
grow.
Dr. ICane was paid enough for his work
to keep him from want the rest of his life.
Weisbein's Fire Sale.
Everyone knows of the great, Broughton
street fire. Mr. Woishein was the mam suf
ferer. He has removed the stock which
was ou the ground floor, and which was
only damaged by water, to the store 1(15
Congress street, adjoining Solomons’ drug
store, and will sell out at, bargain prices. It
is unnecessary to say that it will lie to tho
advantage ot everybody to go there and lay

Her Little Plan.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.
A well-known Boston man has recently
found himself somewhat straitened in his
purse, too fond a devotion to the poker
table having depleted his fortune. He
thought over the situation, and at length
concluded to discuss it with his wife, who
had more than once remonstrated with him
for his dissipated habits, and who was
especially bitter in regard to his habit of
being out every night until the hours were
of the smallest. “Why, dear,” he said. “I
think we ought to get something out of this
great house. It is too large for .just you
and me, and I think wo had better take in a
few lodgers.” “Yes,” she returned, with a
cold ana awful glitter iu her eye, “we will
take in a lot of milkmen. It will be so con
venient to have men who will be going out
to their day’s work just as you get home
from yours.
