AN AMERICAN CRITICISM ON JBNNY
Western critic recor s the following astonishing effects pro-
duced by Jenny Lind's Echo song on one of the "milky
mothers of the herd." On the last occasion of that song
being sung in the town alluded to, a venerable cow, dis-
turbed from a p-2nsive reverie in the court house yard by
the delicious melody of Jenny's call, " Come, Rine," imme-
diately obeyed 'he summons by bellowing forth a esponsive
" I'm a coming." On inquiry the writer learns," that the
maternal grandfather of this cow was imported stock, and
that in the early part of her owu life she was fed on Sweaish
turnips.'
