OLIVER OPTICS VISIT TO ANDERsEN.-
in one OF his recent letters to his magazine
Oliver Optic thus speaks of the famous writer,
Hans Christian Andersen: "On the second
day OF our stay at Copenhagen, Joseph did a
bigger thing than show us Tiyo and the
statues. He put us in the way Of seeing
Hans Christian Andersen. We called upon
Mr.. Melchoir, opposite his hotel, with whom
the great writer Usually lives, and learned
that he was out of town, at the country resi-
dence oil his friend, who is wealthy banker.
we took carriage, and drove TO the country
mouse OF Mr.. Melcholr We found Mr.. An
ueisen at home, in his study hard at work up
on q new story. lie gave us q very cordial
Weicone, ana soon made us feel quite at
home In his presence. lie is tall, rather
round sh0uldered, with iron-gray hair. He is
not handsome; but, when he smiles. IL makes
one love him; for it is so genial and pleasant,
that the smile seems to come right up from
soul over-runnIng with sweet affection for all
the human race. He is very earnest In his
manner, ard frequently grasped our hand
with both of his when we said anything that
pleased him,-as, that his books were so ex-
tensively read and appreciated in the United
States. He invited ms 10 visit the observatory
ON the top of the house, where he pointed out
the various parts OF the city and barbor; but
we are afraid we looked at him more than at
the objects at which he so kindly called our
attention. He is perfectly simple and child
like in his manner, and spoke without reserve
OF the Christmas story he was writing. He
was very neatly, even elegantly dressed. He
is bachelor of about sixty-fve. We were de-
lighted with our visit; and, though he gave us
his photograph and autograph, we needed not
them to enable us to retain in our mind for
many long years the remembrance of this
pleasant interview.

Coughs and Colds is the most recent volume
of series of works in which the various dis
eases of the human system are treated in
1pular style by w. w. Hail. well known az
the editor of Halls Journal of Health In this
book the author shows thai the two great
causes of consumption are impure air and indi.
gested food. Accordingly the remedies on
which he relies are first, plenty7of pure air to
be obtained only out of doors; second, exercise
in the open air, and third, such diet as will
promote easy digestion-if it is sole-leatber or
fruit cake, then these substances are TO he mn.
hesitatingly eaten, even for supper by con-
sumptive patients. OF course DR.. Hall has
his hobbies, like every man who writes of dis
eases and their cure. OF course he has made
his startling discoveries, too. Among these
latter are the following:
Iaght facing does not directly originate con-
sumption. SO we suppose the taoood corsets
are to be restored, for the Doctor holds that
they are rather an advantage than otherwise.
Hereditaty tendencies do not make persons
more liable to die Of consumptiue disease. This,
saws the Doctor, is because persons having
such tendencies take good care of themselves
which is very probable.
Third, bad colds do not originate consump-
ton.
Coughs and Colds is published by Hurd and
Houghton, and is received by Bailey and
Noyes.
At Last, the new and interesting novel by
Marion Harland, noticed at length Friday, is

will be memorable in all future time. 1t ex

large numbers of people will go into the busi-

in New York, and the present ones are repair

a storage capacity of 10000 tons. At present
the stock is nearly exhausted and holders re-
fuse large prices. Fifteen dollars per ton was
offered for cargo for New Orleans, but none
of the dealers could spare any. Experienced
icemen predict an immense crop this season
and low prices next summer. Last winters
scarcity stimulates great many to enter the
business. In Maine large number of store
houses have been erected, and preparations on
a great scale have been made for the coming
harvest. AS an instance of the success of the

HUMoRs OF THE SIEGE OF METz-In
the intervals succeeding each desperate sortie
made by Bazaine very amicable spirit pre-
vailed between the besieged and the besiegers.
Between the city and the German lines there
were extensive potato fields, where the
Frenchmen and the Germans were in the
habit of going to dig up their potatoes in
company. But one day a certain Johnny
Crapeau stole wonderful and delightful pat
ent machine for making delicious coffee from
one of the Prusian Jagers. These at once de-
clared was upon the French, and all peaceful
relations were broken up. Any Frenchman
showing his head near the potato patch was
more than likely to have ball put neatly
through it. But the French were hungry,
and at last they determined to have their po-
tatoes at any cost, and so sortie was made
for the purpose of getting possession OF the
potato ground, over which there was five
hours, desperate fighting, when the French
retired without being able to dislodge the en-
emV.

NEW JERSEY JoKE.-Newark has Just de.
veloped case of practical joking, the equal of
which, as a matter of ofjuvenile daring and cool
audacity, is nowhere to be found. The other
evening dozen or more boys in jackets con-
ceived and subsequently successfully carried
out the following: Going to some fifteen or
twenty dealers in coal, groceries, stores cigars,
crackers, Sc, they stated that Mr.. Kuebler, a
saloon keeper, wanted goods amounting in the
aggregate to about 5000. In one place they or
dered ten tons of coal, at another three barrels
of crackers, at another some smoked beet, ham
and lard, at another fifteen boxes of choice ci-
gars, and SO on all around. The next day the
orders began to pour in the amazed Kuebler,
who, before he got through, was we'll nigh dis
tracted. His feelings can better be imagined
than described when, at the last, an undertak-
er put in an appearance, having been ordered
to hurry up and take charge of poor Mr..
Kuebler's funeral" The affair is regarded as
the tallest JERSEY Joke on record

CADET SMITH AND HIS COMRADES
ing to correspondence from West Point the &C.
ton of the War Department on the verdict of
the court martial in the case of Smith, the COL
ored cadet, has created the greatest excitement
at that post. The general expectation was
that if Smith escaped dismissal he would be
severely reprimanded, and NO one was pre-
pared to hear such decision as has been made.
The cadets are almost all indignant and disap-
pointed. 1t does not seem that they desire to
injure the accuse, nor to glory in his punish
ment; but they assert that he has been guilty
of prevarication and Inconsistency; that his
cadet honor is sullied, and that black or white,
as he may be, while in cadet uniform, he is
identified with the corps and institution. And
that now that be is released from all penalty
responsibility for the past, and in degree pro-
NOTED to the rank OF martyr to color and
race before his sympathizers in the nation at
large, they are mortified beyond measure
Every one in the vicinity of the court martial
was convinced that, with the single exception
OF Gen. Howard the Court intended to place a
penalty equal to the gravity of the offence
against Smiths name. The cadets feel that
Smith has not been justified. and they, as a
BODY, have been wrOnged. The sentiment
against Smith is more unanimously bitter and
intense than ever. The previously adopted
resolution to taboo any in the corps who afili-
ated in any way with Smith will be more rigid
ly observed. Should another collision occur 1t
is plain that the result would be more serious
than before. Had he been reprimanded and
his action declared guilty, the feeling Of preju-
dice would be greatly Modified. With one or
two exceptions the officers, although they dare
not say so, share the same feeling with the
cadets
