Hans Andersen's PeculIarity.
Amonc kndershn's peciiliarjties "

Among Andersen's pecjiliarities was
a mortal fear of dogs. He once wrote
to an intimate friend residing in Geneva
that he meant to come to pay him a
visit, and would arriveion certain day.
The family possessed a large but per-
fectly gentle and very intelligent New
foundland dog, which, in anticipation
of the poets visit, was carefully
chained up. The day appointed for
his arrival came, but no Andersen
made his appearance Days and weeks
succeeded, and still he did not come.
At last the family received a letter from
him post-marked Nice. Dear
friends he wrote, Il arrived at your
house on the day | started, but when
| got to the gate [ saw such a big dog
III the yard that did not dare 60 in,
and so | took the first train to Italy"

IN prices Of cotton has been assisted by
decline in gold, by the hostilities in

great losses which fell upon

many of the largest Of our New England
