should chance TO convey Jenny Lind to our shores,
4 cannot resist the temptation of transcrbing such
facts and circumstances, with regard 10 the fair
cdntatrice, as have come under my immediate OBJ
servstion, knowing full well that any properly
authenticated article, having for its subect-matter
the sayings and doings Of Jenny Lind, will be read
with the liyeliest interest
"To begin at the beginning" it will be secen-
sary refer the enthusiastic reception of Jenny
Lind at Liverpool and TO her two brilliant concerts
prior to her departure ON the "Atlantc" steamer
When il became generally known that Barnum
had effected an engagement with Mad'ile Lind,
and that she was in reality to visit the United
States, MIR Sudlow, the Secretary of the Philhar-
monte Society of Liverpool, was deputed to enter
into arrangement with the fair Swede, with the
view to crafty the thousands who had beea disap-
pointed her former visits Liverpool and espe-
cially in January 1919, at which time she sang for
the benefit Of the Southern Hospital Of that city
Some little difficulty was at first experienced, but
by holding out great inducements, Msd1e Jenny
was prevailed upon 10 revoke her determination Of
not singing again in England. until after her return
from America, towards which all her thoughts
bad long been rduslriousy turned. When the
announcement was finally made, and the time for
the concerts fixed upon, perfect fwore seemed
to pervade the whole western coast of England
ard in Liverpool, which appeared to enjoy the espe
cal favor and regard of Jenny Lnd-whieh, in a
word, had been the recipient OF her generous char
ties. the greatest possible excitement prevailed. For
weeks preceding her errival shop windows teem-
ed with articles OF ornament aud dress, Of every
conceivable torn, and fashion, and shape, all bear
ing the musical name of s Jenny Lnd;" while
poets ard artists, far and near, exercised their
eTs Of rhyme and peHcil, in the production Of full
some sonuets aud hauenng pictures. A perfect
rsge existed tor everything Swedish. The consul
lar agent Of that Kingdom was overwhelmed by
calls nom hundreds Of distinguished persons not

iron rose in the market, and that the price of stock
holm tar sensibly advanced; bat Whatever was the
