The story of the inspiration 'of the novel, of the fountain source of its characters Hilda and Kenyon, and explaining the identity of the statues hand. Is authenticated from two sources a favorite pupil of the original Hilda and posthumous papers of her husband. It was during his consulate in Liverpool that Nathaniel Hawthorne planned his memorable visit to Rome. He was solicitous to secure a cultivated young woman to accompany his family and be a governess to his children. To this end he wrote to his wifes sister, Mrs. the threshold of fame.

Certainly this description of brilof the das lover tallies with that liant young American as he appeared to his friends in those early studeni days. The sculptor had a face which wher time had done a little more for it would offer a worthy subpject for as good a e artist as himself; features finely cui as if already marble; an ideal forehead, deeply set eyes and a moutb sensitive and delicate. It was the model of Adaline Shepherds hand that Kenyon took so tenivory derly out of the on the occasion of Miriams coffer, visit to the sculptors studio: "A small beautifully shaped hand, delicately sculptured in marble. Such loving care and nice art had been lavished here that the palm really seemed to have s tenderness in its very substance, Touching those lovely fingers had the jealous sculptor allowed you to touch you could hardly believe that virgin warmth would not steal from them Into your heart. This hand, it is said, guided Story in the modeling of the hand in his famous statue of Cleopatra.

Nearly a ear ago the dog was given to one of Mr. Regans friends in Portland, on account of his pugilistic tendencies. He was in the habit of spending a good deal of his time on Main street, where he would attack every dog that' came his way, regardless of size. He had been clubbed by almost every policeman in the city, but they did not succeed in keeping him out of the ring. After spending about a week in Portland, he returned home and began terrorizing the Middletown canines as before. He was then presented to a man In Westfield, where he remained long enough to "whip every dog in the village, and then he made his appearance at his former home. A few weeks afterward he was put on board of a schooner, and when the vessel sailed Mike, as the dog was called, was a passenger. This occurred ten months ago, and Mr. Regan long since decided that he had succeeded in getting rid of the dog. He was more than surprised Monday morning to see the dog return after his long absence. Where he left the vessel is a mystery, but from his tired appearance when he arrived, he had come a long way. The vessel when last Jewels Sympathy for the Sake of a. Duty.

Like most recluses, he has.his pet, but Banners pet is so uncommon, even unnatural, that it deserves to be put on record. This pet, says the Du puyer Acantlia, is a badger dog. The .animal is small and has the feet aud legs of a badger while the body resembles a dog. Its claws have to be trimmed every few months, as they grow out of all proportions to the foot. When it walks it has the peculiar waddle of the badger. Its bark is somewhat similar to that of the lapdog. It will bite savagely when teased, but is otherwise perfectly docile. A cross between a wolf or coyote and a dog is not uncommon, nor is it so much of a freak, since they belong to the same family. But a cross between different families, as the dog and badger, is something for natnral-it- s and evolutionists to think about.!.
