laudation. Compared with the polished

and scholarly refinement, and accuracy of
Bulow's pianism, Rubinstein's playing, in
its exuberant, uncontrolled and spontane-
ous fervor is semi-barbaric; the contrast
suggesting the difference between the poet-
ry, say of an Ossian and that of a Tenny-

HANSGUIDO VON BULOW.

We present our readers a picture of Hans-
Guido Von Bulow, one of the greatest living
pianists, who is now delighting the Ameri-
can public with exhibitions of his skill. He
was born January 8th, 1830, in Dresden.
As a lad he displayed no remarkable love
for music, his gift only revealing itself after ' son, except that Bulow displays fully as
a long sickness. His first instructions muc^ free power as does Rubinstein, only
were received when about nine years I more discreetly and circumspectly em-
of age, but later, he was placed under 1 ployed. Bulow will reveal to this country
the guidance of Fr. Wieck, the
father of Clara Schumann. The
distinguished Harry Litolff was
also a frequent and honored
guest at his father's home, and
his example and assistance gave
a powerful impetus to the young
artist's progress. His parents
wished him to adopt the law for his
profession, and he accordingly
entered a university in Berlin for
the express purpose of mastering
the necessary legal knowledge,
but during a visit to Weimar he
heard for the first time Wagner's
Lohengrin given under Liszt's
direction, which wonderful per-
formance effectually dissipated
all ideas of a further study of
jurisprudence, and notwithstand-
ing his parents' violent opposi-
tion, he entered determinedly on
the career of a musician. The
sequel proves that he did not
mistake his calling, as he to-day
stands second to none as a pi-
pianoforte virtuoso, and his sci-
entific education has been so
thorough that he wields the pen
with a no less skillful hand, his
writings displaying a keen critical analysis
of the subject under contemplation, there-
fore the admirers of the Wagnerian school —
of which he is an earnest defender — find in
him a powerful ally, both in theory and
demonstration.

Comparing him with the great Russian,
Rubinstein, A. R. Parsons, in the Musical
Review, remarks :

" Our readers may naturally be curious to
know what traits most markedly distinguish
Bulow's pianism from that of Rubinstein,
whose advent in America was justly made
the occasion of such almost unbounded

^-^

a style of pianoforte performance in which
the musical-box accuracy and reliability, in
respect to meclianical details, which Thal-
berg once employed here in the delivery of
showy but superficial compositions, aiming
at nothing more serious than to amuse
fashionable assemblages, is made the means
of adequately reproducing, and artistically
materializing the profound creations in
which great masters have symbolized to
sense, the ebb and flow of psychic emotions
so subtle as to forever elude successfully
all mere verbal expressions."

The same writer also adds examples

showing his great power of memorizing
combined with his amiable bearing toward
other musicians, which we cannot refrain
from copying:

"During his residence in Berlin, he en-
gaged to perform, on a certain evening in
Leipzig, and had already taken a coach for
the depot, when it flashed upon his mind
that his programme contained nothing from
the pen of the venerable pianist and com-
poser Moschelles, living in the Saxon
musical capital ; and what was
worse, he did not happen to
know one of the aged master's
now antiquated solo pieces. Hur-
ridly calling for a number of
"Moschelle's best pieces," at a
music store which he had to pass
on his way to the train, Bulow
looked them through in the cars,
made a selection, memorized it
like a prince of verse, and with-
out an opportunity to try it before
hand on an instrument, rendered
it as an encore number in con-
cert that evening, in such a way
as to call forth renewed bursts of
applause from the audience and
filling the eyes of the venerable
composer with tears of mingled
tlelight and appreciative grati-
tude for the courtesy thus shown
him. Less phenomenal, but
equally chivalrous was Bulow's
conduct on the 'occasion of Ru-
binstein's visit to Munich in 186S.
I5efore the arrival of the great
liussian pianist, Bulow gave sev-
eral public soirees, in which nu-
merous solos and concert com-
positions both vocal and instru-
mental, of Rubinstein's were performed
with conscientious care, by way of prepar-
ing the public and especially the students
of the Royal conservatory, to appreciate
aright the eminence of the artist soon to
visit the Bavarian capital."

The London Athenaum, May 17, 1S73,
speaking of his wonderful piano perform-
ances, said:

"The more frequently Dr. Bulow per-
forms the more demonstrative does the ap-
probation of his audience become. This
result is very natural. The marked indi-
viduality which characterizes his style at

lirst startled those artists and amateurs who
heard him for the first time ; as they have
I'ollovved him in various works, with or with-
out orchestra, the admiration produced by
his intellectual and poetic conception of the
composers whose works he has interpreted
and by his marvelous mechanism has stead-
ily increased. So irresistible is the influ-
ence of an independent thinker, that com-
positions as familiar as household words
have been, so to speak, re-created. T/ic
most able and experienced pianists of this
metropolis do not hesitate to declare thai to
hear Dr. BuUnu's performances is to recom-
mence their lessons and practice."

A FATEFUL GEM.

The belief in the occult potency of gems
for good or evil, is one of the oldest super-
stitions of the human mind. Ever since
precious stones have been known and
valued, it has been believed that they exer-
cised some powerful influence, for good or
evil, on their possessors. They have been
worn as amulets to exorcise evil spirits and
to frustrate the wicked machinations of en-
emies. Each of them had some special
virtue; the amethyst prevented intoxica-
tion, the diamond ga.ve courage and for-
tune in war, the topaz was a guard against
infection, and so on. The largest diamond
in the world belongs to the Rajah of Mat-
tan, who thinks its possession is the secret
of his family's fortune. Many years ago
the Governor of Borneo tried to buy it from
him, and offered in exchange 5500,000, two
war brigs, fully equipped, and a large quan-
tity of military stores; but all in vain.

This superstition is not confined to past
ages or the semi-civilized of this. A lady of
great accomplishments, and one who had
considerable experience of life — none other
than the wife of Captain Burton, the re-
nowned African traveler — has just pub-
lished a book, in which she foretells much
peril to England, and especially to Queen
Victoria, if that sovereign persists in re-
taining in her possession the celebrated
Kohinoor diamond. That stone has always
had a bad reputation. It is said, though
without sufficient reason, to have been dis-
covered in the mines of Golconda, and
that in consequence of some terrible deed
of cruelty perpetrated on its finder, his dy-
ing curses still cling to it.

According to Mrs. Burton's history of the
gem it has always brought misfortune to its
possessors. The first and second owners
were each driven from their kingdoms, and
those who fell heirs to them were strangled
or assassinated one after another, in a disa-
greeably monotonous way. A great con-
queror— a King of Persia named Nadir
Shah — swept over the East, and carried
everything before him until he reached
Delhi, and carried the Kohinoor off with

him. He was soon after assassinated, anH
his jewels stolen. Its next possessor was.
poisoned ; the two next had their eyes put
out, and so on"^ disaster ever following the
stone till it came into the possession of
Runjeet Sing, the Lion of the Punjab. He
died soon after ; then his son was poisoned,
and at brief intervals his grandson and
great-grandson were assassinated. Anarchy
followed ; then came the conquest of the
Punjab, and the British came into posses-
sion of the stone.

Mrs. Burton follows its fortunes to Eng-
land, and shows how Lord Dalhousie, who
sent it to the Qireen, died soon after; that
the Duke of Wellington, who gave the first
stroke to the new cutting, died three months
later, and that the Queen's own husband
died a little later. She conjures the Queen
to discard the stone, and never wear it
again, for ill-fortune of the most pronounced
kind is always connected with it. She says
that this singular property of the gem was
revealed to her in a dream, which a subse-
quent examination of its history confirmed.

THE CAREER OF NANNETTE SCHILLER.

The desire of her life was to become an
actress, and appear upon the stage in the
great tragedies of her brother. A letter
from Gcethe bore directly upon her wish ;
he had arranged for her to come to Weimar
under the patronage of the Duke Charles
Augustus ; that he himself (Gcethe) would
direct her studies and prepare her for the
stage, and promising her a certain engage-
ment when she should be fitted for one. As
Schiller announced this he kept his eyes
on Nannette's face, expecting it to beam
with inexpressible joy ; but she remained
pale and silent, her downcast eyes full of
tears. Thinking she must have misunder-
stood, he repeated :

" Dear Nane, do you hear ? Gcethe him-
self will prepare you for the career you so
much wish to follow."

"Yes, I understand lieber Binder," she
replied, "but I cannot owe this to Gcethe.
No, if I renounce it altogether, I cannot be-
come a pupil of ," and then paused and

blushed.

" You say you will not owe this to Gnethe i"

" I say I cannot,'' she repeated. Had she
looked up, she would have found full sym-
pathy in her brother's face.

" Have I then misunderstood you, Nane?"
he pursued. " I thought it was your great-
est wish to cultivate your talent."

" My wish is always the same," she re-
plied, "and I shall keep my resolution;
but I must find some other way. Cannot I
owe this to you.'" and she threw her arms
about her brother's neck, bursting into tears.
He held her to his breast a long time in si-
lence, wondering what had happened to
produce a repugnance toward Goethe, whose

overflowing lovingness and genuine inter-
est in every individuality, however opposite
to his own, made him a rarely fascinating
man. That in matters of the heart Goethe
was the reverie of himself, Schiller well
knew; but that Goethe should exercise his
power upon his sister Nannette was impos-
sible, monstrous.

Ignorant as Nannette_ was of Goethe's
affinity theories, and their dangerousness,
her uncorrupted instincts, aroused by the
poet's word and manner, were all against
trusting herself to his guidance, or in any
way being under obligations to him. That
Nannette would follow the guidance of her
instincts at the sacrifice of all the advant-
ages a life at Weimar could aflbrd her — re-
fined and cultivated society, the associations
of luxury and wealth — seemed to Schiller
more wonderful in her than all else. The
tears dropped fast upon her hands which
he still held. "How gladly would I keep
you always with me I" he exclaimed; then
drawing a few gold pieces from his pocket,
he added, "This is all my weatth, and my
expenses will soon be doubled." — Ga/a.vy.

PLAIN DIET FOR CHILDREN.

This is what children ought on every ac-
count to be accustomed to from the first ;
it is vastly more for their present health and
comfort than little nice things with which
fond parents are so often apt to vitiate their
appetites, and it will save them a great deal
of mortification in after life. If you make
it a point to give them the best of every-
thing, to pamper with rich cakes, sweet-
meats and sugar-plums ; it you allow them
to say with a scowl, "I don't like this, or
that," '*I can't eat that," and then go away
and make them a little toast, or kill a chicken
for their dainty palates, depend upon it you
are doing a great injury, not only on the
score of denying a full muscle and rosy
cheek, but of forming one of the most in-
convenient habits that they can carry along
with them in after life. When they come
to leave you they will not half the time find
anything they can eat, and thus you will
prepare them to go chafing and grumbling
through life, the veriest slaves almost in the
world.

Mothers, listen and be warned in time,
for the time will come when you will repent,
seeing your sons and daughters make their
homes miserable by complaint, and raising
their children up in the same way.

Nor is this the worst of it. A pampered
appetite seeks stimulants, condiments, and
other substances which are not food, and
this results in dissipation. Oatmeal, rice,
wheat meal, barley, corn meal — not starch —
with milk, and an endless variety of fruits,
and the best vegetables, are the best for
children.

"THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH."

There .is nothing new under the sun.
Mention is made of a simple check for val-
uable packages at a Saratoga hotel. The
name of the owner is written on a square
of paper, which is then torn in two, one
part attached to the package and the other
given to the owner. It is impossible to tear
paper apart so that two pieces of ragged
edges will be exactly alike. In olden time
a strip was either cut or torn from the top of
all legal documents that were to go upon
record. The cutting away of this strip was
done in a zig-zag or " hit or miss" way,
and the strip was filed in the office, prop-
erly numbered, with the document of which
it was a part. This accounts for the u'ords
"this indenture," which was first used in
old English documents, and which are to-
day retained in deeds, mortgages, appren-
tices' indentures, etc., though very few can
give reason therefor.

Ax amusing story is told of a young
American, who, while sojourning in Paris,
invited two demoiselles to accompany him
to the theater. He secured three seats, and
drove to the house of his fair friends, half
hoping that one was indisposed, so tliat his
felicity might be unbounded. The two
were awaiting him, and their mother as well,
who kindly invited herself to chaperon the
party, and intimated that her daughters
could under no circumstances go without
her. There was no help for it. The four
crowded into the carriage. No fourth seat
could be obtained adjacent to the three
already secured, or even on the same tier,
and during three long acts the three ladies
sat in a box, while our young American
gazed at them with feelings unutterable
from his seat in the parquet. The drama
over, only cabs with room for two could be
obtained to convey the party home. Here
was a dilemma — which young lady would
he select as his cab companion ? They
were both charming, and the matter was
difficult to decide. The old lady settled it,
however, to her satisfaction, if to the annoy-
ance of the now miserable American.
" Hortense and Sophie, you go in this cab.
Monsieur and I will follow you in the next."
The young gentleman now thinlis that
French social customs are barbarous.

Ok all the myths of the fairy age, of its
many legends and enchantments, true love
seems to be the one great charm which has
come down to us unchanged by time, un-
touched by steam engines, and unexplained
by science. Revenge may still exist wjth
its daggers and flashers, and melodramatic
boots and teeth, but we feel little sympathy
for it, and are glad to see it looking more
and more clumsy and out of place, except
indeed in a police court or on the boards of

a Surrey theater. Mystery is also somewhat
old-fashioned, and its poor, veils are sadly
torn about and darned, and its wonders and
terrors exploded. High-flown romance
seems out of tune with our modern ideas,
but true love is true love by whatever sign
and language it is spoken — as long as hearts
beat, as long as life exists, in whatever age,
iron or golden, we may seek it. — Miss
Thackeray.

AGED BEAUTIES.

History is full of the accounts of the fas-
cinations of women who were no longer
young. Thus Helen of Troy was over forty
when she perpetrated the most famous
elopement on record, and as the siege of
Troy lasted a decade, she could not have
been very juvenile when the ill-fortune of
Paris restored her to her husband, who is
reported to have received her with unques-
tioning love and gratitude. Pericles wed-
ded the courtesan Aspasia when she was
thirty-six, and yet she afterwards for thirty
years or more wielded an undiminished
reputation for beauty. Cleopatra was past
thirty when Antony fell under her spell,
which never lessened until her death, nearly
ten years after; and Livia was thirty-three
when she won the heart of Augustus, over
whom she maintained her ascendency to
the last.

Turning to more modern history, where
it is possible to verify dates more accurately,
we have the extraordinary Diane de Poiters,
who was thirty-six when Henry 11. (then
Duke of Orleans, and just half her age)
became attached to her; and she was held
as the first lady and most beautiful woman
at court up to the period of the monarch's
death and the accession to power of Cathe-
rine of Medicis. Anne of Austria was thirty-
eight when she was described as the hand-
somest queen of Europe, and when Buck-
inginghaiTi and Richelieu were her jealous
admirers. Ninon de n'Enclos, the most
celebrated wit and beauty of her day, was
the idol of three generations of the golden
youth of France, and she was seventy-two
when the Abbe de Berais fell in love with
her.

True it is that in the case of this lady a
rare combination of culture, talents, and
personal attractions endowed their posses-
sors seemingly with the gifts of eternal
youth. Bianco Capello was thirty-eighf
when the Grand Duke Francisco of Flor-
ence fell captive to her charms, and made
her his wife, though he was five years her
junior. Louis XIV. wedded Mdmc. de
Maintenon when she was forty-three years
of age. Catherine II. of Russia was thirty-
three when she seized the empire of Russia,
and captivated the dashing young General
Orloff. Up to the time of her death (at
sixty-seven) she seemed to have retained

the same bewitching powers, for the la-
mentations were heartfelt among all those
who had ever known her personally.
Mdlle. Mars, the celebrated French trage-
dienne, only attained the zenith of her
beauty and power between forty and forty-
five. At that period the loveliness of her
hands and arms especially was celebrated
throughout Europe. The famous Mdme.
Recaniier was thirty-eight when Barras was
ousted from power, and she was without
dispute declared to be the most beautiful
woman in Europe, which rank she held for
fifteen years.

FARRAGUT AT TEN.

Would you like to know how I was en-
abled to serve my country? It was all ow-
ing to a resolution I formed when I was ten
years of age. My father was sent down to
New Orleans with the little navy we then
had, to look after the treason of Burr. I
accompanied him as cabin boy. I had
some qualities that I thought made a man
of 'me. I could swear like an old salt;
could drink as stiff a glass of grog as if !
had doubled Cape Horn, and could smoke
like a locomotive. I was great at cards,
and fond of gambling in every shape. At
the close of the dinner, one day, my father
turned everybody out of the cabin, locked
the door, and saidto me:

" David, what do you mean to be .-'"

" I mean to follow the sea."

" Follow the sea ! Yes; be a poor, miser-
able, drunken sailor before the mast, kicked
and cuffed about the world, and die in some
fever hospital in a foreign clime."

"No," I said, "I'll tread the quarter-
deck, and command, as you do."

" No, David ; no boy ever trod the quarter-
deck with such principles as you have, and
such habits as you exhibit. You'll have to
change your whole course of life if you ever
become a man."

My father- left me and went on deck. I
was stunned by the rebuke and overwhelmed
with mortification. "A poor, miserable,
drunken sailor before the mast, kicked and
cuffed about the world, and die in some
fever hospital! That's my fate, is it? I'll
change my life, and change it at once. I
will never utter another oath ; I will never
drink another drop of intoxicating liquors;
I will never gamble." And as God is my
witness, I have kept those 'three vows to this
hour.

Ashes are good for grass lands or for
any other lands that are cropped. Don't
sell an ounce of them. Save and apply
them to any kind of a crop on any kind of
soil. It will pay. Buy and use all you
can of fresh wood ashes at twenty cents
per bushel. It will pay you to do so.

THE NFW CHURCH ORGAN.

The good people of the little white-spired,
green-shuttered church over at Becksville
had a new organ. A bran-new, spick-and-
spaYi, six octave, double reed Standard or-
gan, fresh from Sherman & Hyde's music
store, warranted to give entire satisfaction
and make everybody feel pious and happy
on Sunday — provided anybody knew how
to use it I

Now the people over at Pecksville didn't
mean to be outdone by the people at Becks-
ville— not they I So straightway they be-
gan to talk " organ " over there.

You needn't get the map and begin to
hunt for Becksville and Pecksville — for
though you good people of the city of the
Golden Gate would not have to travel many
hours on a fast train to reach them, you
wouldn't know it when you got there. And
as this little story contains rather more
truth than poetry I don't intend you shaft !

Over at Becksville the church was pretty
much composed of well-to-do land-holders,
many of whom had organs in their own
families, and who had purses in their pock-
ets round as theapples in theirbig orchards,
and all tlu-y had to do was to pull out these
purses, plump down a bill or two all round,
and the thing was done, so that Miss Mills,
the music teacher had the new organ to
play the very next Sunday.

But over at Pecksville there was a little
difference. Not but what there was a
goodly element of well-to-do people in the
Pecksville church too, but then they were
a wee bit on the old-fogy order, and like
the good old dame in Will Carleton's poem,
"didn't want no patent thing a squealin'
over them," and they were not disposed to
disturb their pockets to beat the Becksville
folks. But a good many of the townspeople,
and about all the young folks, were deter-
mined not to be outdone, and so they held
a meeting one evening to devise ways and
means to bring about the desired end.

Various things were suggested Some
thought the best plan was to get up a con-

cert. Others proposed a spelling school.
Deacon Brown thought you could reach
deeper into people's pockets through their
stomachs than any other way, and he pro-
posed a supper. Deacon Jones thought
the best way was to raise as much as could
be done by subscription, and then get up
something to make up the balance. -A.nd
Deacon Robinson thought they had better
get up the "something" first, and then make
up the balance by subscription.

Finally it was decided to have a concert.
Then Mrs. Wright, who took Sherman &
Hyde's Review, and was one of the con-
cert committee, said that Messrs. Sherman
& Hyde were very generous in assisting
those who intend to buy instruments, and
suggested that they be written to, asking
what terms they could make.

Another meeting was appointed, and be-
fore that time Messrs. Sherman & Hyde
had been applied to, and had answered
very generously as to the price of an organ,
and had further offered that if they wished
to get up a concert in aid of its purchase,
they would send them a man competent to
take charge of the same, and an instrument
to be used on the occasion, they having
merely to pay the expense of the leader
sent, all other proceeds of the affair to be
applied to the payment of the organ, if it
should be purchased.

Now this was surely fair enongh. But
the Pecksville pride was hurt a little by the
offer of the man to lead. They wanted the
organ to use bad enough, but they didn't
want the man !

"I reckon," said Deacon Jones, "they
don't know how much musical genius we
have out here. Now thar's Jim Porter, he's
taught singin' school out to the Grove
school house for two winters — I 'low he kin
run a concert about as well as a feller from
'Frisco."

" I 'low he can, too ! " chimed in Deacon
Brown, "and as to an organ, we can borry
one in town, ef they ain't quite so fine, and
here's Miss Wright kin play on it."

"But I had rather not," objected Mrs.
Wright. "A gentleman from the Bay
would do better than any of us, and I move
we let him come."

Nobody seconded the motion, however.
Becksville was determmedto "go it alone"
— show off on its own hook. So "Jim Por-
ter" was appointed to conduct the concert,
and Mrs. Wright was invited to play and
to lend her own little five octave instrument
to be used. And then, after it was over, if
they decided to purchase Sherman & Hyde's
instrument, why, they would just do sol

Now if anybody has ever tried to get up a
concert in a little country town, where
people are as proud as peacocks and as
jealous as anything can be, they have some
idea of the trouble Jim porter, who really

meant to do j;he best he could, had on his
hands.

Miss Betty Brown sang alto, but she
sang so tremendously loud that everybody
else was drowned out, and all the other
altos declared they wouldn't sing if Bet
Brown wasn't made to sing soprano.

And Molly Martin vowed she wouldn't
strike a note if Betty Brown did sing so-
prano. Upon which Miss Betty got mad
and refused to sing at all, and went oft
pouting, saying the altos would see what
they could do without her to lead. Miss
\'iola Whiting was given a seat below Sue
Morrison, and that made her mad. And
two ol the bass singers flew up because two
others were asked to sing a solo, and sat in
their seats as dumb and as contrary as
mules. And altogether things were in such
a state that if the Lord was to be praised by
means of the organ, he certainly was not
greatly praised by the means taken to pro-
cure it.

Now it happened that not over a dozen
miles from Pecksville was a flourishing
borough which claimed for itself the name
of a city. And it so chanced that by hook
or by crook a report of the condition of
affairs in Pecksville made its way thither.
Immediately thereafter, there landed upon
the platform at Pecksville one morning an
enterprising individual of that numerous
class known as agents, bringing with him a
large bo.'t which was declared by the know-
ing ones among the depot loungers to con-
tain nothing more nor less than an organ.

Their sagacity was verified when the en-
terprising individual took himself and his
big box to the hotel, unpacked his instru-
ment and set it up in the hotel parlor, and
then proclaimed to the bystanders that he
had here a very fine, unexcelled, unequalled
organ, bran-new and in prime order, for
inspection and sale, very cheap, almost
given away in fact, and invited everybody
in to look at it. And thus having set his
trap, he waited, like the spider for the fly.
Well the flies went buzzing about all the
afternoon, and towards evening walked in,
in no less shape than the church trustees.
The stranger made himself very sociable
and handled his instrument very skillfully,
and in less than an hour he was in posses-
sion of every point in the case.

"Oh, well, now," said he, "I've no doubt
Messrs. Sherman & Hyde are very good fel-
lows, and would deal fairly with you, but
what's the use of sending away off there for
an organ, when I have such a fine one
under your very fingers? So cheap, too!
The fact is, gentlemen, luc can purchase
these fine instruments for much less than
they can, so we can sell them much cheaper.
Now, as it is for a church, and we would
like to establish a trade here, I'll tell you
what I'll do. It's very odd I happened

ISherman 8f Hyde's Musical

Reyie'w

here just at this time, very odd, gentlemen '.
But as I am here, I'll tell you what I'll do.
Folks can hear my organ as well, or better,
at the church than they can here. I'll take
it up there, and let it stay till after the con-
cert, to be used in practising and for that
evening. And then, if you like it, I'll let it
stay there for fifty dollars less than you can
purchase of Sherman & Hyde or anybody
else. What do you say ?

The trustees said they thought it a very
generous offer. And after consulting with
the music committee they accepted. Hav-
ing gained his ground so far, and set his
organ up safely in the church, our enter-
prising agent went a step farther.

"Now, then, said he, "I have no doubt
your lady player is a very line musician,
and handles her own instrument well, but /
am more familiar with this one than she,
and as the time is so short, she can hardly
become well used to it. So, to bring out
all the power and tone of the organ, if you
wish me to play your accompaniments, why
I shall charge you nothing, and there'll be
nobody's expense to pay. But of course I
defer to the lady."

"The lady," Mrs. Wright, was only too
glad to be excused from taking the music
stool, and as upon trial, it was found that
the organ did sound much louder under the
agent's strong hands, than under her smaller
fingers, it was decided to accept this offer
too.

So upon the night of the concert, all the
Pecksville people and a large delegation
from Becksville turned out to hear the
sp'endid new organ, which thundered and
rolled out its accompaniments in a way
which would have made a singer of well
trained taste entirely crazy 1

Of the concert, as a concert, we will not
be too critical. Financially, it was a suc-
cess, for public curiosity and enthusiasm
had reached a high pitch. And so delighted
were the people that when next morning it
was found the receipts had cleared five dol-
lars more than the price of the organ, it was
unanimously voted to present this to the
enterprising agent for his services as or-
ganist. This being done, and the instru-
ment paid for, he took his departure, a
richer and a happier if not a better man.
And so Becksville could .crow no longer,
for Pecksville had a church organ too. But
alasl now comes the sequel.

The organ was really a cheap, showy,
worthless affair, made like the Yankee's
razor, "to sell," and well had it done its
mission, for it was sold zx\.iS. the people too!
For a week or so it did very well. Then it
began to be found that only three of the six
stops could be used, for the pulling out of
the others made it sound as if three or four
enraged bumble-bees were imprisoned be-
hind them. Then a B flat in the treble

refused to sound at all, and the middle G
in the base stopped in sympathy. And
then some of the notes began to stick when
they were pressed down, and keep up a
horrible growling and groaning, until the
last Sunday it was played, a lady had to sit
close beside the player and lift up the re-
fractory notes as fast as they were struck, (a
fact.) And so, at last, Pecksville having
got its organ, is like the man who drew the
prize elephant, and doesn't know what in
the world to do with it.

Some one has said that a story, to be good,
must have two merits — truth and amoral.
More than one who may read and smile
over these pages can testify to their posses-
sing a sound savor of truth, and as to the
moral — oh ye buyers of organs and other
inquiring minds, seek it out for yourselves.

STANLEY'S HAPS AND MISHAPS IN LOVE,

A correspondent of the 7>v)i' Times thus
gossips of Stanley, the American explorer's
haps and mishaps in love ; " It is but little
over a year ago that Stanley and I were
taking lunch together. Stanley had come
over the water for two purposes — one of
them to see his sweetheart, and the other to
arrange for the expedition to the Victoria
Niyanza. Stanley was not, however, too
much interested in Africa. His life, he told
me, was really bound up in a certain young
lady dwelling on Fifth avenue whose pic-
ture he showed me, whose character he de-
scribed to me, and whose grace and social
position captivated his ambitious eye. In
a year's time Stanley will return from Africa
(if he lives) and marry one of the wealthiest
and most beautiful young ladies in New
York. She is tall and slender, a brunette,
twenty years of age, rather worldly, not
with an unlimited amount of gush in her
nature. Stanley is an odd fellow withal.
His love affairs are known far and wide,
and no one has ever given them greater
publicity than Stanley. While Mr. Francis
was minister to Greece, I left Athens to visit
Lyra, one of the Ionian Isles. I was nicely
entertained there, and the American consul,
whose name I forget, asked me if I wanted
to see Stanley's old flame. I said 'Yes.'
We paid a visit to the young lady, who
was of Greek extraction. She was pretty
enough, but no one but Stanley would ever
have thought of her as a conjugal partner.
Stanley was accepted as her suitor, and
finally, when the family came to make in-
quiries about his family, fortune, etc., Stan-
ley grew indignant, and said he did not
want to buy a wife, that he could get a
handsome one in Constantinople for Si.ooo.
Stanley's loves, however, date farther back
than the Cretan insurrection. Shortly after
the war closed he found himself in Omaha.
It was about this time that he fell in love
with a pretty young girl. But Stanley she

could not and did not admire, and finally
Stanley oft'ered her ^10,000 to go with him.
She declined, and married according to her
choice, which was unhappy.

SOLO SINGING.

Some of our congregations, in getting rid
of an expensive choir, have run into the
opposite extreme — the precentor or leader
doing all the singing. Some leaders seem
to take leave of their common-sense the
moment they stand up before a congrega-
tion. Some of them gesticulate so furiously
as to suggest a strait-jacket. It would be a
great relief to the nervous part of the au-
dience, if such men would go behind the
organ for their bodily exercise. Others try
to accent the tune, singing loud and low,
running away from the congregation in
swift passages, or falling behind in slow
ones, hushing and coaxing, and going
through a regular pantomime, like the
leader of an orchestra — the congregation,
in the meantime, paying not the slightest
attention to these gymnastic performances,
but keeping on at a steady pace, following
the organ, which alone is their guide. In
one of the large up-town congregations the
leader bounces out, like a cuckoo from a
clock, with a long white wand, which he
waves distressedly over the heads of the
people, evidently having taken lessons of
Julien; singing tunes that nobody knows,
and rushing on ahead at a pace that no
congregation can keep. In another church
the organ is behind the pulpit. The tunes
are plain, old-fashioned tunes that every-
body knows, and everybody can sing ; yet
during prayer and the reading of the Scrip-
tures, and other exercises, the leader rushes
about, holds confidential confabs with the
organist, turns over his books, and is as
busy as if with a large choir he was pre-
paring to perform Handel's " Messiah." It
will be a happy day when such busybodies
are suppressed in the house of the Lord,
and singing, like other religious exercises,
is done decently and in order.

THE ORIGIN OF GRASS WIDOWS.

The term "grass widow" is said to be a
corruption of "grace widow," the former
expression being merely a barbarism,
"Grace widow" is the term apolied to one
who becomes a widow by grace of favor,
not of necessity, as by death, and originated
in the early ages of European civilization,
when divorces were granted but seldom,
and wholly by the Catholic Church. When
such a decree was granted to a woman, the
Papal rescript stated "Viduca de gratia,"
which interpreted is "widow of grace." In
the law of the French it would read, "\'euvc
de grace," or "grace widow," "veuve"
being translated as "widow."

Sherman 8f Wyde'S Musical Review.

PATH'S DEBUT AT COVENT GARDEN.

I lllaiichc Tuckers London Letter to Chicago Times.)

I must finish my letter with telling you of
a morning visit to the theater one rainy
day. I am fond of old books, old pro-
grammes, in fact, anything " renaissance,"
so I begged Mr. Nelson to let me look at
the books and see the names of all the art-
ists who had ever appeared within that
(to me) charmed circle. So, very good-
naturedly, he took down volume after vol-
ume covered with dust and time-worn, and
I took them out into the little ante-chamber,
and lovingly laid them down on the table,
prepared to have a good time in looking
them over, and you will allow that a rain)'
day is just the one that is invariably chosen
for attic rummaging and garret explorations,
and this was awfully like it. I commenced
with 1S45. " Heavens," said I to myself,
"years before I was born, 1 believe; I will
look at something more modern." Well,
after reading that"Grisi begged the in-
dulgence of the public for Norme " that
evening as she was "afflicted with a sore
throat;" and seeing that Mario in this eve-
ning's concert would introduce " M'a parri"
from " Martha," by special request, I was
interrupted by the entrance of an old, white-
bearded man, who, upon seeing me imme-
diately shuffled off a most elaborate, second-
childhood bow, and then turned and spoke
to Mr. Nelson.

I wonderingly shut up the book. "Ah,"
said Mr. Nelson, "^liss Tucker, here's just
the person you will want to see. He knows
all the artists who sang when those pro-
grammes were newly printed, and he can
answer the question you asked me awhile
ago about — "

"About who?" said Mr. Webster, inter-
rupting (for that was his name). "But you
don't mean to say, Nelson, that you forget
anything about the singers, do you ?"

Mr. N. I sadly) — "Well, not forget ex-
actly, but, but — "

Mr. W. — "But you can't remember, he,
he, he, (laughing most delightedly), that's
what you mean, I 'spose. Now, me, I
recollects all them 'ere persons just as
if t'was yesterday from little Adelina

down "

"That's just the one," I interrupted,
breathlessly. I want to know exactly about
her debut, and 1 can't find the right volume.
Tell me all about it, please do."

Mr. Webster seated himself with great im-
portance and commenced his story. We
all looked .attentive and heard the follow-
ing :

"Yes, sir, 1 cum to bring some flowers, —
I furnished Covent Garden as I do now, —
and.we all went up to the brush-room, and
and there was a pretty, black-eyed little
creature jist getting ready to sing sumthin'

for trial. O' course I listened, and she
commenced for all the world like a bird,
and then she went on singing that shadder
dance from Uinorarh. Well, mercy! such
a voice! I jist listened to them trills a
pouring out, and I said to myself, 'we'll
have her here, sure. I never heered noth-
ing like that afore in all my born days."
And sure enough, Mr. Gye gave her a trial,
and in a few more days little .A.delina Patti
made her debut (pronounced liebhy) on the
1 2th day of May, 1861, as Amina in La Son-
nambula. That's the very day, miss; I re-
member it well. And didn't she stir 'em
up ? Well arter that she was engaged, and
now, although she's a big singer, she's as
nice as ever, and — and — but really, Mr.
Nelson, couldn't you remember? 1 am
astonished."

GEESE FULL OF FUN.

A goose has, perhaps, the keenest appre-
ciation of humor of any animal, unless it be
her own arch enemy the fox. The writer
once saw in a little grassy paddock some
eight or ten fat and healthy pigs and half a
score of geese. From this paddock a nar-
row, open gate gave entrance into the farm-
yard, and, as evening drew on, the geese
ranged themselves in a row near this Ther-
mopyUc. Obviously, supper-time was ap-
proaching, and the pigs wished to return
home to their troughs. . Equally clearly the
geese had given each other the word not to
let them pass through the gate, which they
guarded, without paying toll. First there
came up a jolly, good-humored little pigj
who trotted cheerfully along with a confi-
dence which ought to have disarmed criti-
cism, till he came among the geese. Then
with a cackle and a scream, every neck
was stretched to get a bite at him, and,
squalling and yelling, the poor little porker
ran the gauntlet. The same fate befell six
or seven more of his brethren in succession,
each betraying increasing trepidation as he
approached the fatal pass, and made a bolt
through the i^orps de garde of geese, whpse
chattering and screeches of delight were
almost undistinguishable from human laugh-
ter. At last the biggest pig of the party
brought up the rear. He was a pink-
fleshed, clean young fellow, vvith fat limbs
and sides, and his ears were cocked, and
his tail sharply twisted in the intelligent
wide-awake manner which so completely
distinguished the intellectual pig from the
mere swine multitude. With a loud grunt
of defiance, this brave beast charged through
the flock of geese, and had actually almost
gained the gate, when a large gray goose
made one grab at his fat ham, caught up the
skin in a bunch and gave it a tremendous
pinch with her red beak. Needless to say
the air was rent with the squeals of agony
of the injured pig and the ecstatic pseans of

the whole of the flock of geese in chorus.
From the order in which the transaction
took place, we derive the impression that a
similar game of Prisoner's Base probably
formed the entertainment of the geese every
evening. — Frances Power Cobbc.

A BEAUTIFUL SIMILE.

.A writer who has been visiting a deaf and
dumb school, and was much pleased with
the intelligence displayed by the scholars,
illustrates his idea of education upon the
deaf mute very beautifully, as follows: It
was passing strange to note their readiness
of reply to the sign questions, to hear their
own intelligentconclusions concerning theo-
ries that were proposed — for the professor
acted as an interpreter — and as I looked
from one eager face to the other, 1 realized
as never before what a trammel and clog is
this human organization upon the divine
soul within. A year ago I saw in Texas a
wonderful alabaster vase. It was found
thirty feet below the bed of a South Ameri-
can river. Beautiful in shape and of cloud-
less white, we all admired and wondered,
till one of our party suggested that we try a
light within it to illustrate the familiar simile.
A wax taper was carefully placed, and a
miracle was wrought, for there came into
view before us, groups of figures exquisitely
carved ; garlands of flowers and groves of
tropical trees. Withdrawing the light, the
vision faded, leaving only the dead white
surface, pure and cold. Do you wonder
that, as I sat in the recitation room I thought
of that magical vase and saw how marvel-
ously the touch of education had brought
out the hidden possibilities of these minds
that had dwelt so long in their sealed pris-
ons?

NOTABLE INVENTIONS.

The first mention in history of the use of
steam as a motive power is as follows:
Hero, a mechanic of Alexandria, Egypt,
about fifty years anterior to the birth of
Christ, invented a machine in which a mo-
tion of continued rotation was imparted to
an axis by the reaction of steam issuing
from the lateral orifices in arms placed at
right angles to the revolving axis. This,
we believe, was the first machine that was
ever put in motion by steam. The first ac-
tual model of a steam carriage of which we
have a written account, was constructed by
a Frenchman named Cugnot, who exhibited
it before the Marquis de Saxe in 1763. The
first passenger steam car was put upon the
Stockton and Darlington railroad, England,
September 27th, 1824. Professor Morse
patented his invention of the telegraph in
1837, but the first line in operation, from
Washington to Baltimore, was not comple-
ted until 1844.

died in that city October 12th, aged si.\-ty-two. He
was both poet and musician, also something of an art-
ist, being at one time much devoted to the copying of
flower pictures in which art he acquired considerable
skill.

— Lady doctors appear to have a great future be-
fore them in India. Dr. Nancy Monelle, whose arri-
val from New York was announced some time ago,
has settled in Hyderabad, where she has already ob-
tained an extensive practice. She lately opened a
dispensary in one of the bazaars, and it is now so
crowded that she is about to remoA-e it into a much
larger house. Many native ladies come from gri?at
distance to avail themselves of her skill.

—If any lack interest in our Centennial arrange-
ments, let him read the following article and not stop
to ponder, but immediately cast about and see where
he can help them on. Let us at least meet the ex-
pectations of the Old World. The following is an ad-
dress to the workmen of London: "Centenary of
American Independence ! The scenes to be witnessed
in American cities on July 4, 1S76, will doubtless ex-
ceed anything and everything the world has yet seen.
It has, therefore, been proposed to organize a work-
don early in June next year, and Liverpool by a royal
mail steamer, to visit Washington, etc., returning by
Canada in six weeks."

— We know not what truth there may be in this,
which we clip from an exchange: Mme. Arabella
Goddard. the F.nglish pianist, who is now pei-
forming in American cities, has had her adven-
tures, it seems. She has nearly completed a voyage
round the world, which has occrupied three years of
her life, and an account of which she is soon to pub-
lish in the form of " an unfini.shcd " t.ale of travel. She
has encountered serious danger, having been wrecked
on the passage from Bermuda to Australia, and ex-
posed to the hardship of twelve hours at sea in an
open boat. Of all the countries she has visited she an-
nounces her intention of proving her preference for
both the people and climate of California by taking up
her permanent residence here after one year more
passed in England.

the tale abruptly and insipidly. One of the company
soon afterwards leaving the room, the king said, " I

I began it. that the turn of the narrative reflected very
severely on the ancestor of the Prince of Armagnac,

other occasion, I think it far better to spoil a good
story than to distress.a worthy man."

— In a village near Airdrie, a ludicrous incident oc-
curred lately at an avening sermon meeting. The
leader of psalmody, a somewhat raw individual, made
a stumble, and finally came to a dead stand in the
singing of a tune. After three more unsuccessful at-
tempts he cried out in his agony, " This is most tre-
mendous wark!" The risibilities of the audience
being excited by ^his remark, the troubled "son of
song " turned to the minister and said, apologetically,
" That ane'll no gang ava ! " He resolved, however,
to try again ; but before he had found the right key-
note, a gentleman in the audience had struck up
"St. Paul's," and :it was joined in by the congrega-
tion. At the second line, however, the discomfitted
precentor bawled out, " Hand on a wee ! I've got-
ten't noo ! " The congregation although they did not
" hand on," had, as may well be imagined, to " houd "
their sides to prevent them splitting with laughter.

is in rehearsal at Wiesbaden. The composer is Herr
Grammau.

—Dr. Legge, the most distinguished living scholar
in Chinese, has been nominated to the chair of that

—It is said the subject of Mr. Arthur Sullivan's new
opera for Mme. Nilsson will be Mary Queen of Scots.
Strangely enough, no really successful treatment of
this most dramatic story has as yet succeeded.

— A report from London says: "Mr. Fred C.

ments with Mr. Mapleson, of her Majesty's Italian
opera, London, during t'ne coming season. As Mme.
Titiens will be in this country filling her engagements,
Mme. Perkins will assume many of her roles, as she
is in every particular prepared to sustain them.

—"La Fille du Regiment" was performed on the
29th of September at the Paris Opera Comique for the
six hundredth time, it having been first produced
there on the nth of February, 1840, when the princi-
pal parts were " created" by Miles. Borghesc, Bou-
langer and Blanchard, MM. Marie, Henri and Ric-
quier.

— Liszt, passing through Leipzig recently for Italy,
was the object of much flattery. At the famous St.
Thomas' Church the choir sang a portion of his Missa
Clioralis, the Chorgesangverein got up a soiree at
which his works alone supplied the programme; and
lastly Liszt himself, sat down at a matinee and played
one of his own rhapsodies.

—There have just been discovered in a house in
Great Peter street, London, a sideboard, a bookcase,
and an iron chest, which were made by Peter the
Great when he was living as a workman in England,
and which are said to have remained where and as he
left them in 1698. They have now become, from hav-
ing been consitjered rather as lumber, the property of
a Russian nobleman— Gregoire Tscbertkofl'-who in-
tends presenting them to the Emperor of Russia, in
order that they may be placed among other relics of
Peter the Great at Moscow.

— M. Gounod has met with a serious accident. The
account telegraphed is that, calling on M. Oscar Cora-
ettant, to receive the manuscripts of some scores left
in England (no doubt those lately in possesion of Mrs.
'Weldon"), he slipped on the stairs in taking leave, fell,
was taken up senseless, and was thought to be dead.
His shoulder was dislocated: or, as later accounts say,
broken; Madame Gounod has come from St. Cloud
to M. Oscar Comettant's house, to nurse her husband.
According to Saturday's accounts he was suflfering
greatly, and coul.I not sleep. The house. No. 64 Rue
des Petits Champs, where the accident occurred, is
the one which for many years was inhabited by M.
Berryer, and M. Oscar Comettant lives in M. Berry-
er's old apartment. Workmen are now erecting ban-
isters to the external stone staircase, never before
thought dangerous, over which M. Gounod so unfor-
tunately slipped. Two months' rest and nursing are
declared necessary for the composer's recovery:
which, however, is considered hopeful.

THE NEW YEAR.

The advent of the holidays is always gratefully
welcoir.ed by young; and old alike, and Christmas
is celebrated by all denominations of Christiana,
and by many others, in a spirit at once joyous
and reverential. But the days of festivity find
their appropriate culmination in New Year's
Day, which is iiuiveraally devoted to social inter-
change and heartfelt greetings. Every New
Year is a new era — a point of departure, from
which we contemplate the past and anticipate
the futiire, ere we start anew on our course.

Many there are, to whom the years have
brought sorrow, and whom no bright prospect
allures, yet for snch the star of Hope beams with
steady ray ; while others are radiant with the
delight of a genial present, and the expectation
of glowing days to come. Along the checkered
pathway of life, there are mingled lights and
shades in every experience ; and fortunate are
they who can learn valuable lessons from adver-
sity, and calmly press on toward the untried
future with earnest purpose and firm endeavor.

In this dawning of the New Year, every heart
should resolve not to indulge in idle imaginings,
or strive for impossibilities, but rather to per-
form each duty as it become.n unfolded to the
mental vision ; and to live so nnselfi.shly as to be
worthy of an useful and happy life here, and an
exalted destiny in the glorious "land of the
hereafter."

To those whose souls have been CTiriched by
the inspiring influence of music, the New Year
has an especial significance ; for to them, life has
a higher meaning than is comprised in daily
toil or financial gain — an incentive to the culture
and grovvth of the nobler faculties.

On this occasion, the New Year marks a cen-
tury's growth in our national history, and every
patriotic heart will thrill with pride in consid-
ering the advancement made in our career as a
people, and will determine to aid in the gr-ud
work uf securing a continued progress. In this
auspicious dawning of a prosperous national
future, we feel more than an ordinary interest
in wisihingto all a " Happy Nkw Yeak."

A COLLEGE OF MUSIC.

A few months .since, it was announced by
the press that a wealthy gentleman in New
Y'ork had resolved to donate a large proper-
ly to the founding and endowment of a col-
lege of music in that city, but that owing to
a certain litigation in which he wa.s engaged,
he declined to allow lii.s name to be made
public. Meanwhile, an Act of incorporation
was passed by the Legislature of New Y'ork,
for the "Amieiican College of Music," and
competent trustees were selected.

Recently, however, it has become known
that Mr. Samuel Wood, a retired merchant,
is the noble patron of our art, and that from
three to six millions of dollars will be devo-
ted to this grand purpose. Spacious build-
ings are to be erected, and the services of
the ablest masters and compo.sers of the
world are to be .secui-ed ; and it is designed
that the children of poor parents, who have
superior musical talent, shall receive the
liigliest instruction and development, equally
with those of the wealthy and conspicuous.
If this magnificent scheme shall be fully
carried out, it will tend to keep on our own
shores those who now visit the continent to
complete their musical studies, and also to
give a thorough culture tol thousands who
through lack of pecuniary means, are com-
pelled to dispense with the finished educa-
tion to which their native genius aspires.

Heretofore, art, science and literature have
been the recijiients of the tinancial bounty
of tiiose among the wealthy who have gen-
erous hearts, and sincere desires to advance
t)ie progress of mankind ; but at last, the
domain of music, with its exalting inlluence,
is to be enlarged by the power of immense
riches, wliich could not be more nobly or
wisely bestowed. The impetus wliich musi-
cal culture will derive in the coming years,
from this unequaled act of benevolence, can
scarcely be estimated. Certain it is that its
boneticent effect will be felt for all time in
every portion of our country, and that no
more enduring monument to the memory of
its excellent founder could be erected in the
liearts of a grateful people.

FABBRI OPERA COMPANY.

With the holidays terminated the engage-
ment of this company, who.se operatic re-
presentations were given mainly in Piatt's
Hall, though some of the last were produced
in Maguire's New Theatre. The principal
feature of interest since our last Issue, was
Halevy's opera. The Jewens, on the I8th
ult, and subsequently repeated. The char-
acter of "Lazarus, the .low," was portrayed
with remarkable fidelity by Mr. Theodore
Habelmann, whose genius w^as never more
conspicuous. Mme Inez Fabbri personated
the devoted and conscientious "Rachel, the
Jewess," with tender feeling. M'Ue Anna
Elzer was brilliant as "Princess Eudossia;"
Mr. Karl Formes was a stately "Cardinal de

Brogni," and Mr. Charles Pflueger made a
dashing " Prince Leopold." The second,
third and fourth acts each gave the artists
an occasion for superb singing and acting,
and they were greeted with enthusiastic re-
calls.

The composer of this opera has greatly
marred the effect of his otherwise superior
composition, by the unnatural ending of the
fifth (and last) act; wherein Lazarus is im-
jielled, through religious bigotry and bitter
hatred of the Cardinal, to sacrifice the life
of the latter's daughter, adopted and reared
as his own. We cannot conceive that so
malignant a character as this could possess
the good qualities attributed to him in the
previous acts ; and we conclude that this
tragic ending is wholly inconsistent with the
general spirit of the opera, and false to the
elements of affection and humanity which
exist even in the basest natures. Had the
.last act shown in Lazarus a noble and heroic
spirit, fhat'would have divulged the parent-
age of Rachel and pre.served her life; anop-
Ijortunity would have been given to the tal-
ented artists of this company for a final
sceno that would have enraptured the au-
dience.

BROADWAY GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Tlie closing exercises of the first term of
this school on the 17th ult were very enter-
taining, and as heretofore, largely musical in
character. The superior execution of the
several pieces sung reflects great credit upon
the music teacher of this school. Prof. W.
Elliot, and upon the Jclass teachers, several
of wliom, including the vice prin<-ipal, Mrs.
JI. J. Carusi, have been very thorough in
this important department of study, and
have received great assistance from the
principal, Prof. W. J. Ci. Williams.

"Picnic Polka" a piano solo, was well
played V)y Alice Gove ; "Hearth and Homo"
was finely sung by a double quartette; and
tile duet by Miss Linda Jlott, soprano,
and Miss Susie Corbell. alto, was so
brilliantly rendered as to surprise and de-
light tne auilieuce of parents and friends.
The piano accompaniments were played by
Miss Julia Citron, with an accuracy and
taste remarkable for one so young.

Recitations were given by the following
misses : Aggie Keane, Genevieve Watson,
Mamie SIcCarty, Jessie Caruthers, Anna
Thayer, Jessie Peixotto, Flora Levy, Hattie
Fleishman, Emma Will, Minnie Chase,
Eliza Cassassa and Camille Branger; and
three dialogues were .spoken. While all
these exercises displayed superior elocu-
tionary training, (he live first named are en-
titled to especial commendation. The black-
boards were covered with elegant drawings,
which evinced superior taicnt on the part of
tlie pupils. Brief and pertinent addresses
were given by Rev. Olis Gibson and Prof.
Williams, and the exercises closed with a
song by the school.

Sherman & -Hyde's Musical Review,

WASHINGTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

On the 17th ult, the first term of the pub-
schools closed for the usual vacation un-
the 3rd inst. In some of the schools,
ecial literary and musical exercises were
Id on the date first named, and among
ese was the Washington Grammar School,
which Mr. Jos. O'Connor is principal.
Hsic was a prominent feature of the exer-
ies, and the second, third and one of the
irth grades were noticeable for the excel-
ice of their singing. In those grades the
iss teacher.s have worked earnestly and
ccessfuUy to advance the musical proflc-
icy of their pupils. A fourth grade boy,
illic liiiidow, sang a good, solo, with chorus
the class.

Among the recitations, one by Josejjh
imerston, a pupil in Miss Carrie Uarlow's
ird grade, was given in a spirited manner,
ill worthy of the snbjeet, "Drake's Ad-
ess to the .Vinerican Flag." Otlier recita-
ns were given in good style, by Victor
•erton, B. Morris, Theodore Roberts and
5ke. The interesting exercises closed witli
i national air, " America," by. the school.

MISS MINNIE READE.

We learn from u friend that .Miss Minnie
ade, a talented American prima donna
ijrano, who has been pursuing her local
idles in Milan, Italy, for some years, has
;ned an agreement to sing in Con.stantino-
), Turkey, for four months. Slio will
supported by Signora Fusinl, Signor For-
pan, the distinguished tenor, and fourteen
ler artists, exclusive of chorus,
rhls estimaljle lady, who lias hosts of
ends in her native country, is known in
•eign musical circles as "Eda Mirani,"
d it is confidently predicted that she will
slong be recognized as a star of the first
ignitude.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Stiittart, Germ.^ny, Nov. 18th, 1875.

Dear Review : — The musical season of
1875 commenced with the first of ten abonne-
ment (subscription) concerts given in the
large hall of the Kingsbau on the 12th ult.,
and on these occasions the entire Hof Ka-
pelle, comprising seventy performers fa-
mous throughout Europe for theii- excel-
lence, produce great symphonic works and
accompany soloists in concertos. Hof Ka-
pellmeisters Arbert and Dopier alternately
act as directors and Seyfritz attends to con-
certos alone. Miss Gaul, from Baltimore,
was the pianist, and her rendering of Beeth-
oven's concerto with Von Bulovv's ditficult
cadenzas was very successful, eliciting the
hearty commendation of her critical audi-
ence. Storr's superb Tone Pictures, illus-
trating Schiller's "Song of the Bell" was on
the programme. Frau Wahlman the gifted
Scliauspielerin at the Court Theatre de-
claimed the poem witli the highest artistic
ability.

On the If'ith the celc'lirated baritone .Julius
Stockliausen gave a concert in conjunction
with his pupil Frauleiu Sophie Lowe, and
the young pianist and composer J. Kontgen.
The delicacy and beauty of phrasing of this
vocalist are unequaled and met hearty ap-
probation. Frauleiu Lowe made an excel-
lent impression in London. Herr Kontgen
is distinguished as a composer and execu-
tant. The annual organ concert of the pu-
pils of the Conservatory consisted of selec-
tions from Bacli, Mendelssolin, Handel and
original compositions from the pupils. Tlie
most prominent of the latter is Mr. Richard
Muller of Chicago, who played a senate,
and a brilliant concert piece, both showing
great talent as a composer and fine executive
ability. I understand he lias finished his
studies and will soon return to Chicago. A
blind student Herr Kohl, played the first
and third movements of Mendelssohn's
sonate, Op G5 No. 4, with excellent finish
and style.

Anna Bellocca, contralto from London
and Paris opera, with Edward Remenye, vi-
olinist, and an Italian tenor, under the man-
agement of Strakosch, gave a concert on the
23rd, with a mixed programme, going from
Cherubini's " Ave Maria" to the Drinking
Song from Lucrezia Borgia, followed by
Beethoven's "Adelaide." Remenye's solos,
excepting the andante and finale from Jlen-
delssohn's violin concerto, were very sensa-
tional. The Stuttgarter Liederkranz have
erected an elegant new hall, spacious and
beautiful in design — capacity 4,000. It was
opened with a concert on the 25th.. Mr. J.
L. Hatton the celebrated English composer
of songs, quartettes, etc., has arrived hereto
remain for the winter. He is engaged in
writing an oratorio. His son G. F. Hatton,
a very promising young composer and pian-
ist who has been studying two years in
Leipsig, is also here pursuing his studies at
the Conservatory. Yours, truly, G.

The following ingenious letter composed
of the names of our publications is too good
to be lost. It will be appreciated by all who
are familiar with the popular music of the
day.

S.\N FRANcisfo, Jan. 5th, 1876.

'My Ain Dearie:'— 'The Day is Done'
and the 'Beautiful Moonlight' seems to
'Bid me Discourse' to you my precious
'Little Nell.'

This many a 'Long, Long Weary Day'
I've been 'Waiting' for your 'Return.'
But alas ! though 'In Tears I Pine,' my
'Last Hope' became like a 'Little Faded
Flower,' 'Long, Long Ago.'

'Oft in tlie Stilly Night' when 'Down by
the River Side I Stray,' my thoughts go
'Over the Hills and Far .\way,' and 'Still
so Gently o'er uie Stealing,' come 'Sweet
Memories of Thee.'

With 'A Sigh in the Heart' I say perhaps,
'Thou has Learned to Love Another,' but
at this suggestion is my 'Heart Bowed Down'
and threatens to 'Break, Break, Break.'
'.\h, so Pure' was the time when 'Thro'
Meadows (ireen'down by 'The Brook' where
we watched the 'Image of the Rose,' 'Slow-
ly and Softly' I told you 'In Whispers Soft
and Light' the 'Old, Old Story.'

Ah, 'Little Nell' 'Did'st Thou But Know'
how much 'I Would that my Love' could
'Speak to Me' this 'Starry Night' you would
'Beware' of the danger of prolonging our
'Separation.' »I Cannot Sing the Old Songs'
I sang 'When You and I Were Y'oung,' since
'Love's Request' is unheeded and you re-
main, 'Far, Far Away.'

Y'et in spite of my 'Impatience' in 'Wait-
ing My Darling For Thee,' the 'Star of Love'
beams steadily on, and I trust you will soon
'Come to Me Dearest Maiden.'

I will therefore 'Away With Melancholy'
for 'It is Better to Laugh Than be Sighing,'
and the 'Pas.sing Cloud' that came in my
'Dreams' 'Only Last Night' shall soon depart,
and I will still believe you are 'Tendar and
True."

And now 'My Joy and Treasure,' some
'Evening' when you are 'Left Alone' won't
you please write, and again 'Call me thine
own ?' May 'Love's Messenger' come with
a 'Tarantelle' movement, and may 'Angels
Ever Bright and Fair' 'Protect us this Com-
ing Night' while we 'Gently Rest.' 'I See
the Pale Moon' is 'Fading, Still Fading' and
as I am 'Weary' I will 'Put me in my Little
Bed, for I must be up at 'Five o clock in the
Morning. It Is 'Too Late to be writing and
I am 'Longing to be '.Sailing into Dream-
land. 'Sweet Love, Good Night to Thee —
'Sleep Well Thou Sweet Angel.

'Believe Me, Believe that I am True. 'Am
I not Fondly Thine Own? Felix.

LETTER FROM GERMANY.

SruTTOART, Dee. 2d, 1875.

Dear Rkview. — Although three of the
eoncerts aunoiiiiced to be given this month
were witluirawn ; there has been, liowever,
an average of tliree a weelc, and including
operatic representations, we have not suf-
fered from a scarcity of good music. Our
patience has been severely taxed with a con-
tinuance of miserable weatlier, causing the
streets to bo in a very muddy condition, and
the Stuttgart mud is the stickiest kind of
nuid to l)e found anywliere. Notwithstand-
ing all this, there has been a generally good
attendance at tlie concerts. Abonnement
t'oncert. No. 2, given on the 2d ult., intro-
duced a varied and interesting prograntme.
Tlie sensation of the evening was tlie unison
playing of the brothers, Willie and Louis
Sliern, from Pesth, whose performances of
Chopin's Etude, No. 2, Op. 25, and a waltz.
No. 1, Op. (i4, from a purely technical and
meclianical point of view, were singularly
beautiful and perfect in tlieir blending. But
sucli performances must necessarily be void
of indi\iduality in expression and phrasing.
In a concerto written by the father of these
wonderfully clever performers, they made a
great eft'ect, notwithstanding that the music
was of a very rugged and unmelodious
character. The orcliestra played Schu-
mann's glorious No. 1 Symphony in B flat,
major, with a perfectness truly charming.
Tlie romantic Larghetto, and tlie fiery
Scherzo, with its most original of all trios, in
two-four time, were admirably gi\ en, re-
flecting the highest credit upon the director,
Herr Capellmeister Doppler, who, by the
way, directed the most of this lengthy and
ditlicult composition from memory. The
vocal numbers of the programme were
rendered by Fraulein vonDotseher and Herr
Heomade.

The first String Quartette Soiree of the
season was given on the 6th uit., the execu-
tants were Herr Professoren Singer, Wehrle,
1st and 2d violin ; Wien and Krumholtz,
viola and cello. The programme was :
1 — Quartette, B flat, major, Haydn ; 2 — Di-
vertissement for violin, viola and cello, Op.
19, Mozart ; 3— Quartette, C major, Op. 59,
Beethoven. It may appear singular to some
of your many readers to find a concert con-
sisting of only three numbers, but each
number is in from four to six parts, and the
whole occupies about two and a quarter
hours in performing. Concerts in this city
always commence at seven o'clock, no ex-
ception to this rule, and are over soon after
nine o'clock.

Opera begins, when a short one, at 7
o'clock, when a long one, at half past 6, the
longest is over by quarter past 10. We
shall not have anj-thing new in opera this
season, however, the repertoire is a very ex-
tensive one. I will endeavor in my next,
to make you acquainted with the operatic

artists engaged here. Early m the month,
the celebrated "Florentine Quartette" under
the direction of Herr Jean Becker paid us a
visit and performed a brilliant programe.
It is needless to criticise this almost faultless
company of Instrumental Artists, their fame
in Europe is great. Fraulein Johanna
Becker; daughter of the director was at the
piano, she remains i.n this city to study with
Professor Pruckner.

The most delightful of concerts up to the
present time was given last evening, it being
the first soiree for chamber music given by
Professors Pruckner, piano. Singer, violin,
and Kammermusikas Krumholtz cello, as-
sisted by Herr Kammermusikas Wien. The
individual excellence of these artists, their
long experience in classical music, and hav-
ing for so many years played together, gives
an attraction to these concerts above all
others. It is a remarkable fact, that Pro-
fessor Pruckner has played every known
concerted composition of chamber music
from Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert,
Hummell, Mendelssohn, Schumann and
many from the latest modern composers.

Abonnement Concert No. .3, was devoted
to the first production of a musical setting
to Krebs dramatic poem, "Thriadne auf
Narcos," in soprano, tenor and baritone and
chorus with orchestra, composed by Capell-
meister Max Seyfritz. G.

LONDON, ENGLAND.

December, 6th, 1875.

Dear Review : — To the sincere regret of
all those who had visited the Princess dur-
ing the reign of Mr. Carl Rosa's excellent
company, the season of operas in English
there ended on the 30th of October, with
that delightful opera. The Marriage of Fiya-
ro ; three daiis previous to that a novelty
was presented in the shape of Cherubini's
Water Carrier, which although (it is said) a
favorite in America, has onl}' been presented
once before in England at Drury Lane dur-
ing the season of 1872. This opera (I find)
was originally produced at the Salle Fey-
deau, Paris, in January, 1800, and I cannot
help wondering at the fact that an opera,
highly praised by Weber, with its excellent
music and interesting plot should have been
allowed to repose so long.

The 18th season of Monday popular con-
certs at St. James' Hall opened on the Sth
inst, with a very attractive programme, one
item of which, Haydn's quartette in Dininor,
for strings, was played for the thirteenth
time at these concerts.

Mme Essipoff (pianiste) and Herr Wil-
helmj, the popular violinist, were among the
performers. Mr. .Shakespere was the tenor
vocalist and exquisitely sang two songs of
Sterndale Bennett's, entitled, "Dancing
Lightly" and "Maiden Mine." At the third
concert on the 22d, Mme Norman Neruda
made her reappearance and met with a warm

reception. Her solo, a sonata in D minor,
for violin, by Rust, was the success of the
evening. Schumann's Etudes Symphoniques
for the jjiano, of remarkable difficulty, were
admirably played by Miss Anna Mehlig, a
lady who visited .San Francisco some four or
five years ago. Her playing in the Etudes
was as vigorous, as it was delicate in a trio of
Mendelssohn's in D minor, for piano, violin
and cello. The vocalists on this occasion
were Mdlles Badin, two young ladies who
please wherever they sing, their voices are
so well blended.

Mr. William Carter's choir gave the fir.st
of the seven grand oratorio performances at
the Albert Hall, on the 28th of October ; the ,
oratorio selected was Mendelssohn's Eli/ah.

The performers were said to number near-
ly a thousand, and the delicate portions were
sung exquisitely. The principal solos were
given by Mme Sherrington, Miss Palmer, Sig.
Fabrini and Mr. Whitney. On the 18th ult,
the same choir gave Haydn's Creation, which
attracted one of the largest audiences that
has ever assembled in the Albert Hall. The
principal soprano music w'as given to Mme
Sherrington, and it suits her admirably; Mr.
Lloyd sung the tenor portions and Signor
Foil executed the bass music in thoroughly
good style.

Among the vocalists who have appeared
at the Crystal Palace Concerts is Mme Os-
good, a successful debutante from Boston.

The Alexandra Saturday Popular Concerts
commenced on the 30th of October, when
Rossini's "Stabat Mater" was given. Han-
del's oratorio, Esther, was most excellently
presented ; the first time this work was per-
formed in England was in 1732, by thechil-
dren of the Chapel Royal, St. James, under
the direction of their master, Mr. Gates,
when it was given wnth scenery, costume
and dramatic action, and it has not been
performed in its entirety since 1 7.'>7.

Mme Essipoft' gave the first of two piano-
forte recitals on the 24th, with a lengthy and
varied selection which was played entirely
from memory by this talented pianiste, who
although more at home in the Chopin-Liszt
stylo of performance, executes all others with
wonderful accuracy. In scale passages and
elegant themes, her playing is brilliant.

Mr. Walter Bache gave a recital at St.
James' Hall on the 1st ult, assisted by Mrs.
Beesloy, a pupil of Von Bulow, Herr Wil-
helmj and Miss Anna Williams (vocalist).
Miss Emily Mott gave her third evening
concert at the same hall on the same day.
This talented vocalist was assisted by such
artists as Mmes Sherrington and Cole, Messrs
Sims Reeves and Lewis Thomas. The con-
cert was a gratifying success, as was also
Mr. Kuho's evening concert on the Sth.

Yours, truly, LiT.\ FAiiit,\n.

Holiday Festivals have been held since the
20th ult., in nearly every church in the city,
and have been uncommonly well attended.

SHEf^MAN &■ WyDE'S M.USICAL ReVIEW.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Oratorio of "The Messiah. — On the
(ith inst., at Piatt's Hall, Handel's master-
piece, The Mcxniah, was performed by the
Handel and Haydn Society of this city, as-
sisted by the Oakland Harmonic Society ;
and in spite of the heavy rain, a large audi-
ence was present. The music was under the
direction of Prof. John P. Morgan, the con-
ductor of the society tirst named, and under
his watchful care, nothing could exceed tlie
accuracy and precision of the chorus, w hich
included one hundred and fifty voices, and
was remarkable for the power of tlie so-
pranos.

The rehearsals of this oratorio liave evi-
dently been very thorough and careful, and
the orchestra, numbering thirty-five, dis-
played rare judgment in refraining from the
excessively loud strains too often indulged
in. In fact the chorus and orchestra far sur-
passed those of previous performances of
this character. Some of the choruses were
givenwith unrivalled spirit, and among them
were "Glory to God in the Highest," "All we
like sheep, and "Lift up Your Head. But
the magnificent Hallelujah chorus was the
gem of the evening, and was given with such
power and enthusiasm that the delighted au-
dience secured its repetition.

The florid music of the solos in this ora-
torio is full of technical difficulties, wliich
require the most perfect command of the
vocal powers ; but Mrs. R. K. Marrlner
overcame these difficulties with apparent
ease, her pure, clear voice and cultivated
method being supplemented by earnest feel-
ing; and she well deserved the hearty ap-
plause she received. In one solo she gave
exquisite trills, which would done honor to
a prima donna. Miss Clara Beutler was
never in better voice, and her solos were
sweet and sympathetic, and some passages
were nncouimonly sparkling and spirited,
and were applauded. Miss Anna Elzer sang
the contralto solos with great vigor and dis-
tinctness, and her upper register was moi'e
ettective than usual.

The tenor solos were given by Messrs G.
\V. Jackson and John Trehane, and the
basso solos by Messrs Walter C. Campbell,
G. A. Harris and Elmore, the last named
gentleman a visitor from the east ; and these
were all rendered acceptably. The Messiah
will be repeated by the same soloists, with
the addition of Mrs. \V. C. Little of Oak-
land, and the same chorus and orchestra on
Thursday evening, January 13th, at the new-
Presbyterian Church, Rev. Dr. Eells, pastor,
at the corner of Franklin and Fourteenth
streets in Oakland. By special arrange-
ment, a train for San Francisco will leave
Broadway station after the performance is
over.

Miss F. A. DiLLAYE's Organ Concert.^
On the evening of the 21st of December, at
the Congregational Church in Oakland, an

invitation organ concert was given by Miss
F. A. Dillaye, the talented lady whose arrival
in San Francisco we noted in our last issue,
assisted by Mrs. R. K. Marriner, Mr. Louis
Schmidt, jr., Mr. Cornelius Makin and Mr
Ernest Schlott. The house was crowded by
a fashionable audience, who showed an en-
thusiastic admiration of Miss Dillaye's
magnificent playing. There has been a pre-
vailing impression that a lady is physically
inadequate to produce the grand etl'ects of
which a large organ is capable, but we think
that Miss Dillaye's effort on this occasion
has proved conclusively to the contrary.
Such perfect pedal playing and finished ex-
ecution is rarely heard.

Her rendering of the "Pracludiuni and
Fugue" by Bach, displayed really more
study and repose than any of her other
solos, for although the Praeludium by Lizst
was to all appearance more difficult in tech-
nique, yet for all its intricacies, it failed to
please the audience as did the more majestic
music of the immortal Bach. We are glad
to note a willingness on tlie part of Miss
Dillaye to conform a little to the popular
taste, as she certainly did in the Rondoletto
by Mendelssohn. Miss Dillaye's manners
at the organ are exceedingly quiet and dig-
nified which to us is another evidence of
the careful schooling she has received.

California audiencs hare learned to expect
a great deal of Mrs. Marriner, and she never
disappoints them. On this occasion she sang
with fine eftect an aria of Rossini's and the
solo"Let the Bright Seraphim," in which she
was accompanied by the organ and by Mr.
Schlott on the french horn. Mr. Louis
Schmidt, jr.'s violin solos were played with
expression and gave great pleasure to tli,e
audience. Mr. Makiu's superior voice
showed to advantage in the baritone solo
"Thou who art God alone ;" and the chorus
was most accurate and eftVetive. The large
and intelligent audience present on this oc-
casion greeted .Miss Dillaye and her assis-
tants with the unmistakeable evidence of
their satisfaction and appreciation. •

Prof. A. Williams' Soiree. — A musical
soiree was given on the 30th ult., by Prof.
.Andrews Williams, at the American Conser-
vatory of Music, No. 119 Turk street. Of
the twelve numbers on the programme, three
were given by experienced pianists. The
fantaisie on Robert le Diable by Mine A. Von
Lindemaun, was brilliantly executed. The
piano solos "Gade's Wedding March" and
Von Weber's "Polacca Brilliante" were very
smoothly and beautifully played by Mine
Sophie T. Riehardt. Leybach's fantaisie on
Soinnambula, a very difficult piece, and
Thalberg's "Home, Sweet Home," were
played in a sparkling and animated style by
Miss Ellie W. Potter.

Among the pupils. Master Louis Ritzau
played a good violin solo, Miss Minnie Lyons
and Miss Thais Uoulet two excellent piano
ducts. Miss Lulu Plum a fine piano solo, and

two little girls. Misses Lillie Mueheand Miss
Anita Plum, also gave piano solos. Soprano
solos were very creditably rendered by Miss
Ellie W. Poter, Miss Emma McAuley and
Miss Alice L. Fillebrown, the latter, Schu-
bert's Serenade,with violin obligato by Mast-
er Ritzau, being especially good. Mr. John
Von Amringe sang the tenor solo, "Good
Night, Beloved," with superior accent and
faithful expression of sentiment. Some of
the young ladies have but recently com-
menced their musical studies, but are mak-
ing good progress. The spacious parlors
were filled with invited and appreciative
guests, including many ijersonal friends of
tlie pupils, and the evening passed very
pleasantly.

Trinity Church Praise Service. — A
Christmas praise service was given at Trini-
ty Church, which was largely attended.
The quartette choir is composed as follows :
Mrs. Louisa Mills, soprano; Mrs. John
Trehane, alto ; Mr. D. P. Hughes, tenor ; Mr.
G. A. Harris, basso ; and Prof. John P. Mor-
gan, organist. They were assisted by the
following well known church singers : So-
prano, Misses Wlnnicum, Buch, Belcher,
Post and Buchanan and Mesdames Clinton
Day, Palmer and Shanklin ; alto, Misses
Lowell and Wlnnicum, and Mesdames
Swett and Morgan ; tenor, Messrs John Tre-
hane, Hague, Crabtree and Wilder ; bassos,
Messrs C. A. Klose, F. L. Palmer and
P^iench.

The programme comprised an. opening
hymn, an Anthem by Towle, a "Te Deum"
and a "Benedictus" comjjosed by Prof.
John P. Morgan; "Hark the Herald Angels
Sing" by Mendelssohn; a recitation, trio and
cliorus from the oratorio "Christus" by
Mendelssohn; an offertory from Handel's
"Messiah," and a closing voluntary for or-
gan and orchestra from the "Messiah."
•Several of the solos and the trio from Men-
delssohn, were most admirably executed.
Mrs. Mills sang with her usual animation,
and Mrs. Trehane's rich contralto voice was
never more agreeably conspicuous. Messrs
Hughes, Harris and Trehane all did justice to
their parts, and were well sustained by the
chorus. Prof.Morgan's organ voluntary and
accompaniments were given with vigor and
precision, and his own compositions ranked
well with the productions of celebrated
composers.

Sunday School Entertainment. — The
Sunday school connected with the Powell
street Methodist Ejiiscopal Church, gave a
literary and musical entertainment on the
21st ult; the programme including a great
variety of songs, glees, instrumental solos
and duets, recitations and tableaux. Mrs.
Von der Mehden sang a pleasant solo, and
the Cambrian Glee Club gave several pieces
in excellent style. Prof. Southwell played
the piano, accompanied- on the drum by
his son, only four years of age, whose exe-
cution was wonderful for a child, and exci-
ted the curiosity of the audience. The vocal
duet "Sister Ruth," was well executed by
Miss Lizzie Dunn and Mr. William Clark.
There were thirty numbers In the pro-
gramme, each one brief and interesting, and
the whole was well designed and agreeably
received.

JShei^man &• -Hyde's Musical Review.

Pbok. S«)Tt's Musical, Soiree.— A pri-
vate inusk-al soiree was given on the 28th
lilt., at tlie residence of Prof. Gustav A.
Sfott, No. 428 Eddy street, in which liis pvi-
pils participiUcd, assisted by otiier ladies and
"■ontlcnu'n, sonio of whom are members of
the "Sappho Club," a musical society of
whidi Prof. Scott is director. The pro-
gramme, and the execution of its several
numbers, were worthy of a public concert of
high order, and it is safe to say that no other
musical soiree ever given in this city has ex-
celled it ill merit.

Jlessrs Wise (cello) and Roliert Uli.ig (vi-
olin) excellently played three trios, with pi-
ano, with Prof. Scott, Miss Kate Sinclair and
Miss Florence Hillyer respectively. These
two young ladies rendered the difficult jiro-
ductions of Reissigcr and Beethoven with an
accuracy and beauty worthy of high praise.
Prof. Scott has won so high a reputation as
a pianist and teacher as to need no commen-
dation. Misses Carrie Meyer and Belle
Greenberg gave as a duo on two pianos, a
sparkling fantaisie from Traviata with ex-
quisite expression. Miss Eugenie Rosen-
heim and Mr. S. Fabian played Ketterer's
"Hungarian March" with remarkable bril-
liancy, and the latter agreeably rendered a
capriceio by Mendelssohn.

A baritone solo "Only to Love" was given
by Mr. Cornelius Makin in his accustomed
vigorous and expressive style, and Miss
Carrie Meyer and Sig G. JIancusi sang and
acted in a spirited manner, a duo from 11
Barbiere de Siviglia. One of the most de-
lightful exercises of the evening was the duo
from Mendelssohn, "I would thatMy Love,"
sung by Miss C. E. Raymond, soprano, and
Mrs. F. M. Clement, contralto, both of the
Unitarian Church quartette. It is rare to
liud two full and .sympathetic voices which
blend so perfectly, and represent so clearly
the sentiment of a song. The musical en-
tertainment, which won frequent applause,
was supplemented bj' an elegant repast, and
by a social reunion which was universally
enjoyed by the invited guests.

Grace Church Christmas Service. — On
Christmas day, a praise service of unusual
excellence was given at GraceChurch, Rev.
Dr. Piatt, Rector, the music being under the
direction of Mr. Alfred Kelleher. The reg-
ular choir of this church is comppsed as fol-
lows : Mrs. Ella K. White, soprano ; Miss
Anna Patterson, contralto ; Mr. Alfred Kell-
elier, tenor; Mr. Jacob Stadtfeld, basso;
and Jlr. H. O. Hunt, organist. These were
assisted by the following well known vocal-
ists : Mrs. R. K. Marriiier, soprano ; Mrs.
W. C. Little, soprano ; Mr. Joseph Maguire,
tenor ; Mr. Cliarles W. Dungan, baritone ;
and Mr. R. Jansen, basso; and a chorus of
twenty-five voices with orchestral assistance.

"Te Deum Laudamus" by Bristow was su-
jierbly rendered. The solos were by Mrs.
White,. Mr. Kelleher and Mr. Stadtfeld.
Mrs. White is a most promising soprano.

whose clear voice is finely adapted to church
music, and Miss Patterson is a superior con-
tralto. Mr. Kelleher is an unsurpassed
tenor, and Mr. Stadtfeld a powerful basso,
and their parts were admirably rendered.
Mr. Maguire sang a beautiful solo, with
chorus, in the "Introit," and Mr. Dungan a
sui)erior solo, also with chorus, "Jubilate
Deo." A delightful solo, with chorus, was
given by Mrs. Little, in the Anthem. Mrs.
Marriner's solos in the offertory, Alma Vir-
go, and in a Gloria from Rossini's Inflamma-
tus, each with chorus, were most brilliant..
The Gloria in Excelsis from Mozart's
Twelfth Mass, the Venite (Gregorian Chant),
the Gloria by Mosenthal and the Ciloria Tibi
by Greatorex were all given in chorus. So
great an array of vocal talent has rarely been
combined in one Christmas service, and the
uniform excellence of the several parts was
remarkable. The accompaniments were all
excellently played by the accomplished or-
ganist Mr. Hunt, and the occasion was im-
pressive in the highest sense.

Conoreoationai. Praise Service. — On
the 26th ult, the Christmas and fifteenth
Quarterly Praise Service was given, at the
First Congregational Church in this city, of
which Rev. Dr. A. L. Stone is pastor, and as
usual the spacious church was crowded.

The following familiar hymns were sung
by the vast congregation, from printed pro-
grammes: "Old Hundred," "Rockingham,"

Arlington," "Federal Street," "Duke
Street" and "Antioch." As usual, the sing-
ing was accompanied by the organ and a
quartette of brass instruments, and was
never more impressive.

The following selections were given by the
choir, all with organ accompaniment: "Gloria
Patri," quartette arranged from Hayden's
Third Mass. Te Deum Laudamus, by Lloyd,
duet by Mrs. Howell and Mrs. Brown, and
soloby Mr. Yarndlcy. "Hark! What mean
those Holy Voices ?" quartette with solo by
Mrs. Howell, and harp accompaniment by
Mr.S. H.JMarsh. "Shout the Glad Tidings,"
quartette. "Hark the herald Angels Sing,"
quartette with solos by Mrs. Howell and Mr.
Mayer. Offertorium, "Christians Awake."
This remarkable production was written for
harp and organ accompaniment, and ex-
pressly for Christmas of this year, by the
distinguished composer Geo. Wm. Warren.
Solos were given by Mrs. Howell, Mr. May-
er and Mr. Yarndley, the latter introducing
the beautiful Portuguese hymn, "Adeste
Fideles." The offertorium excelled in beau-
ty all the other pieces, although all the se-
lections w-ere of superior merit.

Mrs. Lizzie P. Howell's soprano solos were
given with such bird-like clearness and such
unusual volume, that an audience of ten
thousand could have heard every passage
distinctly. It is rare to find a lady who
sings with equal brilliancy and spirit, or
with an accent so perfect. Mrs. R. H.
Brown's contralto voice is noted for its full-

ness and purity, and her duet with Mrs.
Howell was excellently rendered. Mr. J.
W. Yarndley, who has been but a few
months in the city, is achieving a good rep-
utation as a basso, and on this occasion his
solos were worthy of high commendation.
Mr. Samuel D. Mayer's tenor solos were
even more vigorous and sparkling
than usual, and he jilayed the organ
with his usual animation and precis-
ion. The harp accompaniment by Mr. S.
H. Marsh was a most pronounced success.
This is the first time that the harp has been
used on these occasions, and in the hands of
so eminent a musician as Mr. Marsh, this
most spiritual of instruments lends a charm
to these beautiful services, that nought else
can supply.

Rev. Dr. .Stone gave a brief address, ap-
propriate to the occasion ; and it is conceded
that this praise service was decidedly supe-
rior to all previous attempts. The next
Praise Service will be held on the evening of
Easter Sunday.

Mme Williams' Concert. — At Pacific
Hall on the 21st ult., Mme Sampson Will-
iams, favorably known as a pupil of Prof.
G. Nathanson, gave a concert, supported by
Miss Randall, Prof. Sauers, and Messrs.
Williams, Gray, Russell and Perkins. The
reputation achieved by Mine Williams on
tlie occasion of Miss Miles' concert in Octo-
ber, was more than sustained by her finish-
ed vocalization at this last entertainment;
and her rendering of "Green Trees, Fresh
Flowers" from the opera L'Africahie and
"Tis Thus Perchance" from La Traviata
was deserving the enthusiastic encores
which she received. Her duets with Miss
Randall and Jlr. Williams were given with
refined expression. The other vocalists
were greetcil with frequent recalls, and cred-
itably performed their parts.

Vniversitv Soiree. — The students of the
University of California gave their seventh
annual party at Union Hall on the2Ist ult.
The music comprised Schmidt and Sclilott's
string and brass band, and the opening
grand march was finely arranged for the
occasion from University songs, and was
universally admired. Dancing commenced
at an early hour and continued until three
o'clock. The students and their friends
were as numerous as the hall could accom-
modate and the galleries were filled with
spectators. The scene was an animated
one, and the kind attention shown to all by
the managers was most gratifying. Not
only the ladies and gentlemen |iarlii-ipaliiig,
but the spectators seemed to enjoy this soi-
ree, which was certainly the most brilliant
of the series.

Musical Soiree. — On the I.ith nit., at
Dashaway Hall, a soiree was given by a mu-
sical club comprising (iO ladies and gentle-
men, of which Mr. Otto Linden is conduct-
or, and coinpliinentarv tickets were issued
to the friends of tlie performers. An or-
chestra of thirty iiistriimentali.sts assisted in
the prograninie, which comprised Mendel-
ssohn's "First Walpurgis Night," and Gade's

jShefj^an &• Wyde'S Musical Review.

"Erl-King's Daughter." Tlie sulos were
sung by Mies Clara Beutler, Mrs. R. N. Van
Brunt, Mrs. R. H. Brown, Mr. D. Nestield;
Mrs. 1). P. Hughes, Mr. Benjamin flark,
Mr. Cornelius Makln and Mr. Charles B.
.Stone. These .solos were very well reiiflered,
and were ably supported by the powerful
chorus. Some parts of each piece were given
with unusual spirit, and the general
result was highlj' satisfactory to the audi-
ence. Wo learn that this society intends to
give future entertainments of a similar
chara(^ter.

The JToiiie Miisieal Lihrary*

Each book of this splendid collection is separate and independent of all others, is generally bought
b\- itself and used b)- itself. Still, as the volumes are all uniform in binding, size and style, price and
o-eneral plan, it is quite proper that they should be brought under one general designation. Indeed
what more perfect musical library can be imagined ! Each book contains the best music of the kind
indicated by the title, and in some cases nearly all of it. For instance, " Operatic Pearls," contains
nearly all tiie pieces from standard operas; at least nearly all that are sung in concerts. " Gems of
Strauss," contains nearly all the favorite compositions of the trilliant composer; and so of the other
books.

Price of Each Book in Boards, 82 50

Price of Kaeh Book in Cloth 3 00

Price of Each Book in Fine Gilt 4 00

The whole library, (of 17 books,) will cost from $40 to $64, the latter being the aggregate price of
the fine o-ik edition, which would be just the thing to present to a musical couple who are beginning
housekeeping. The plainer bound books are equally good as to their contents, and are invaluable for
teachers and" pupils, being well classified, and filled with the most entertaining and useful music, both
vocal and instrumental. "n^^^The Pages are Full Sheet Music Size.-=^^

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., FEB., 1876.

THEODORE WACHTEL.

The return to America of this distinguished
German tenor has been hailed with delight,
for now, thanks to the enterprise of Herr
Adolph Neuendorff, we are having a brilliant
season of opera. The artist, whose name is
given to this sketch, needs no introduction
to the American public ; he is well known
on both sides of the Atlantic, where his
wonderful voice has held audiences spell-
bound night after night.

Theodore Wachtel was born in Ham-
burg, March loth, 1S22, where his father
was the proprietor of a large livery stable.
Young Theodore obtained a good educa-
tion, and distinguished himself in school
by his great industry and extraordinary
skill in penmanship and drawing. After
his father's death Theodore, with his
mother, carried on the business He
would probably never have been heard in
the operatic world had it not been for one
of those fortunate accidents which seem
to meet artists as if by divine will,
and which gave to the world this famous
tenor. Among his regular customers was
a party of rich merchants who spent a
great deal of their time in hunting and
merry-making, and were in the habit of
singing on their way to some desirable
spot. They one day tried to sing a new
quartette, but unfortunately for them, and
most fortunately for Wachtel, they had
no tenor, he volunteered his services and
the party one and all were surprised at
the rich quality of his voice, and one of
the number, a Mr. Gerstenhorn, persuaded
him to retire froni his position as coach-
man and cultivate his voice. The ser-
vices of Mile. Grandjean, of Hamburg,
were obtained, and after eighteen months
of close, diligent study, he made his first
appearance in public as an artist with re-
markable success. This was at Hamburg;
his voice was then declared by the critics
as the grandest in Europe.

In the year 1 849 he was called to Schwerin
where he achieved a phenomenal success,
and was treated by the people with great
consideration, but this was not as he wished,
his heart was fixed on going to Dresden,
but was prevented by the celebrated tenor
Tichatchek, who was then at the hight of
his fame and could bfook no rival — Wachtel
instead went to Wurzburg. This formed

the commencement of his operatic career.
After two years' stay in this place he went
to the Court Theatre in Darmstadt and oc-
cupied the position of first tenor. It was
here he met his wife. From Darmstadt he
went to the Royal Theatre at Hanover,
where he remained four years. During this
time the King allowed him a leave of ab-
sence to visit Vienna to finish the cultiva-
tion of his voice. There it was He studied
Italian of Sig. Gentilliomo and the world re-

nowned Capellmeister Eckhart, then return-
ed to Hanover to fulfill his engagement, and
from thence to Cassel.Vienna and London.
He made his first appearance in London
in 1861, and won great success at the
Covent Garden. Mr. Gyewasthe manager
and Sir Michael Costa conductor. After
his London season he went to Berlin, sang
eight times during six months for which he
received $12,000. His season here was
highly successful, appearing with Mme.
Pauline Lucca. On March loth, 1868,
(anniversary of his birthday) was conferred
on him, by royal decree, the position of
Royal Court Singer. While he held this

position he had to sing twelve times a year
and appear at all royal concerts. Presents
were showered on him without number, one
in particular was noted for its richness and
elegance, being a gold snuff-box, on the
cover of which was a representation of the
Berlin Royal Opera House set in diamonds.
In 1869 he went to Paris where he created
a perfect furore, drawing excited crowds
after him wherever he went. From Paris
he came to America and appeared at the
.Stadt^ Theatre, which is situated in the
lower part of the Bowery. A brilliant
episode in the history of opera in New
York, was that never to be forgotten sea-
son at the Academy of Music when
Wachtel bade farewell to America. Three
of the greatest operatic lights were there,
Wachtel, Santley and Parepa-Rosa, and
never shall we see their like again.

Wachtel is once more with us, and
surrounded by one of the best troupes
America has seen of late years. The
opening opera was " Les Hugenots," with
Wachtel in his great character of Raoitl,
but in the role of Eleazer in Halevy's
grand opera, La Juive, at the Academy of
Music, October 25th, he probably exhib-
ited his wonderful voice to the finest ad-
vantage. Watson's Journal thus de-
scribes his effort: "Indeed it took us
wholly by surprise, for he displayed pow-
ers which were a revelation to us. Al-
though we have been familiar with his
portrayal of many other great roles, we
would rank this as the greatest of his
many triumphs. In many of the scenes
of this work he was afforded opportunities
to display his vocal and dramatic abilities
to a fuller extent than in any character
he has assumed. In his caniabile singing,
as well as the many greater numbers, re-
quiring the highest dramatic treatment, he
was really superb, and his splendid tenor
told out magnificently." He represents no
school. Nature was his first teacher and
under her guidance he still gathers fresh
laurels.

The Music Trade Review thus sums -up
the whole matter: "As to all those who
sing with him, they would certainly do best
to come on the stage like Roman Gladia-
tors, bow and say, }>to>Huri te salutaiif : for
Wachtel is safe to kill them all without the
slightest remorse." F. Henry Drown.

A PICTURE,

There is a picture on my w

A face now lost to me,
And when the shades of twilight fall,

We keep rare company.
For then the child returns to lay

Its warm lips to my own.
And soothes my harsh world care aw

Such kisses have I known.

She may not lean a golden head

Upon my heart to-day.
Yet in the evening wan and still.

She comes to me alway.
I have no small shoes laid aside,

I have no curl of gold.
No token, but the pictured face,

And memories untold.

So when the winds of winter blow

And all the earth lies chill,
We dream of sunshine warm as w

And gather daises still,
A shadow of my own child self.

Would that on mother breast,
I now might lay my head and be

Thus lullabied to rest.

DEB.

The solemn Androscoggin bell was ring-
ing the mill girls in by broad sunlight one
noon, when there came a knock at the
door, and behind it the young lady of whom
I heard. Deb was started by the knock,
and frightened by the young lady. It was
not often that visitors came to Brick Alley,
and it was still less often that Brick Alley
had a visitor who knocked.

This was a young lady for whom Deb's
mother did fine washing. Deb's mother
wiped her hands and placed a chair, and
the young lady sat down. She was a
straight lady, with strong feet, and long
brown feathers in her hat, and soft brown
gloves upon her hands. She had come, she
said, with that Cluny set, which she found
she should need for a party this very night ;
indeed she was in so much haste for it, that
she had hunted Deb's mother up — which
was a matter of some difficulty — as she
never had the least idea where she lived
before, and how crooked the stairs were!
But the lace was very yellow, as she saw,
and would she be sure to have it done by
nine o'clock to-night? and

And then, turning her head suddenly,
the straight young lady saw poor, crooked
Deb in her high chair, with wonder in her
eyes.

"I wonder if 1 frightened her," thought
Deb. But she only wondered and did not
speak.

" Is this your "

"Yes," said Deb's mother, "the eldest.
Fifteen. I'll try my best ma'am; but I
don't know as I ought to promise." She
spoke in a business-like tone, and turned
the Cluny lace— a dainty collar and a pair
of soft cuffs — about in her hands in a busi-
ness-like way. A breath of some kind of

scented wood struck in a little gust against
Deb's face. She wondered how people
could weave sweet smells into a piece of
lace, and if the young lady knew ; or if she
knew how much pleasanter it was than the
onions that Mrs. McMahoney cooked for
dinner every day in the week but Sunday,
upon the first floor. But it gave her quite
enough to do to wonder without speaking.
"Fifteen!" repeated the young lady,
standing up very straight, and looking very
sorry. "How long has she been — like —
that?"

"Born so," said Deb's mother. "She's
jest set in that chair ever since she's been
big ehough to set at all. Would you try
gum on these Miss ? "

"But you never told me you had a crip-
pled child! "

The young lady said this quickly.
"You have washed for me three years,
and you never told me you had a crippled
child!"

"You never asked me. Miss," said Deb's
mother.

The young lady made no reply. She
came and sat down on the edge of Deb's
bed, close beside Deb's chair. She seemed
to have forgotten all about her Cluny lace.
She took Deb's hand up between her two
soft, brown gloves, and her long brown
feathers dropped and touched Deb's cheek.
Deb hardly breathed, the feathers and the
gloves, and the sweet smells of scented
wood, and the young lady's sorry eyes —
such very sorry eyes — were so close to the
high chair.

"Fifteen years!" repeated the young
lady, very low, "in that chair — that nobody
ever — poor little girl ! But you could ride,"
she said suddenly.

"I don't know ma'am," said Deb. "I
never saw anybody ride but the grocer and
the baker. I ain't like the grocer and the
baker."

"You could be lifted, I mean," said the
young lady, eagerly. "There is somebody
who lifts you ?"

" Mother sets me generally," said Deb.
" Once, when she was very bad with a lame
ankle, Jim McMahoney set me. He's first
floor — Jim McMahoney."

"I shall be back here," said the young
lady, still speaking vhry quickly, but speak-
ing to Deb's mother now, " in just an hour.
I shall come in an easy sleigh, with warm
robes. If you will have your daughter
ready to take a ride with me I shall be very
much obliged to you."

The young lady finished her sentence as

if she didn't know what to say, and so said

the truest thing she could think of, which is

what we are all in danger of doing at times.

"Well, I'm sure!" said Deb's mother,

" Dabitra, tell the lady "

But Dabitra could not tell the lady, for

she was already out of the door, and down
stairs and away into the street. And, indeed.
Deb would not have told the lady — has never
told the tady — can never tell the lady.

If all the blue summer skies, and the gold
of summer sunlight, and the shine of sum-
mer stars fell down into your hands at once
for you to paint the scrap-books with, should
you know what to say ?

Into the poor little scrap-book of Deb's
life the colors of heaven dropped and
blinded her on that bewildering, beautiful,
blessed ride.

In just an hour the sleigh was there, with
the easiest cushions and warmest robes, and
bells — the merriest bells ! — and the straight
young lady. And Jim McMahoney was
there, and he carried her down stairs to
"set" her. And her mother was there, and
wrapped her all about in an old red shawl,
for Deb had no "things" Kke other little
girls. The young lady remembered that,
and she brought the prettiest little white
hood Deb had ever seen, and Deb's face
looked like a day-lily bud in the shining
wool, but Deb could not be that. And Mrs.
McMahoney was there, paring onions at
the door, to wish her good luck; and all
the little McMahoneys were there, and all
the children who did not wonder, and the
grocer turned in at the alley corner, and
the baker stopped as he turned out, and
everybody stood and smiled to see her start.
The white horse pawed the snow, and held
up his head — Deb had never seen such a
horse — and the young lady had gathered
the reins into her brown gloves, and the
sleigh-bells cried for joy — how they cried!
— and away they went, and Deb was out of
the alley in a minute, and the people in the
alley hurrahed, and hurrahed, and hur-
rahed, to see her go.

That bewildering, beautiful, blessed ride!
How warm the little white hood was! How
the cushions sank beneath her, and the
fur robes opened like feathers to the touch
of her poor, thin hands! How the bells
sang to her, and the snowdrifts blinked at
her, and the icicles, and the slated roofs,
and sky, and the people's faces smiled at
her.

"What's the matter?" asked the young
lady ; for Deb drew the great wolf's robe
over her face and head, and sat so for a
minute still and hidden. The young lady
thought she was frightened.

"But I only wanf to cry a little!" said
Deb's little, smothered voice. " I must
cry a little first! "

When she had cried a little she held up
her head, and the shine of her pretty white
hood grew faint beside the shine of her
eyes and her cheeks. That bewildering,
beautiful, blessed ride !

Streets and a crowd, and church spires
were in it — yes, and a wedding and afuner-

al, too — all things that Deb had seen in her
high chair in the day-time with her eyes
shut, she saw in the sleigh on that ride with
her eyes opened wide.

She was very still. The young lady did
not talk to her, and she did not talk to the
young lady. The horse held up his head.
It seemed to Deb to be flying. She thought
that he must be like the awful beautiful
white horse in Revelation. She felt as if
he could take her to heaven just as well as
not, if the young lady's brown gloves should
only pull the rein that way.

They rode and rode. In and out of the
merry streets, through and through the
singing bells, about and about the great
church spires — all over, and over, and over
the laughing town. They rode to the river
and the young lady stopped the white horse,
so that Deb could look across, and up and
down at the shining stream and the shining
bank.

"There is so much of it," said Deb, soft-
ly, thinking of the crack of it that she had
seen between two houses for fifteen years.
For the crack seemed to her very much
like fifteen years in a high chair, and the
long, broad-shouldered, silvered river,
seemed to her very much like this world
about which she had wondered.

They rode to the mills, and Deb trembled
to look up at their frowning walls, and to
meet their hundred eyes ; but some of the
girls who wore the little pink bows, and
who knew her, came nodding to look down
out of them, and she left off trembling to
laugh; then, in a minute, she trembled
again, for, all at once, without any warning,
the great Androscoggin bell pealed the time
just over head and swallowed her up in
sound. She turned pale with delighted ter-
ror, and then she flushed with terrified de-
light.

Did it pray, or cry, or laugh ! Deb did
not know. It seemed to her that if the
white horse would carry her into the great
heart of that bell, she need never sit in a
high chair at a window again, but ride and
ride with the young lady. It seemed to her
like forever and forever.

They turned away from Androscoggin
without speaking, and rode and rode.
Daylight dimmed and dusk dropped, and
see ! all the town ablaze with lights. Deb
could not speak — there were so many
lights.

And still she could not speak when they
rode into Brick alley, and fim McMahor

THE EGG DANCE IN INDIA.

A much more pleasing performance, and
one which might perhaps better have been
mentioned in connection with the exploits
of the jugglers, is the ^' egg dance." This
is not, as one might expect from the name
given it, a dance with the fragile objects.
It is executed in this wise: The dancer,
dressed in a corsage and very short skirt,
carries a willow wheel of moderate diameter
fastened horizontally upon the top of her
head. Around this wheel, threads are fast-
ened, equally distant from each other, and
at the end of each of these threads is a slip-
noose, which is kept open by a glass bead.
Thus equipped, the young girl comes toward
the spectators with a basketful of eggs, which
she passes around for inspection to prove
that they are real, and not imitations. The
music strikes up a jerky, monotonous strain,
and the dancer begins to whirl around with
great rapidity. Then, seizing an egg, she
puts it in one of the slip-nooses, and, with a
quick motion, throws it from her in such a
way as to draw the knot tight. The swift
turning of the dancer produces a centrifugal
force which stretches the thread out straight,
like a ray shooting from the circumference
of the circle. One after another the eggs
are thrown out in these slip-nooses until
they make a horizontal aureole, or halo
about the dancer's head. Then the dance
becomes stdl more rapid, so rapid, in fact,
that it is difficult to distinguish the features
of the girl ; the moment is critical ; the least
false step, the least irregularity in time, and
the eggs dash against each other. But how '.

can the dance be stopped ? There is ' ^
, . , out

one way — that is to remove the €?<''■ . .i

^ith p. . the hand, the least interference
ra- ,rte of the threads, and the general ar-
.,<^ement is suddenly broken, and the
whole performance disastrously ended. At
last all the eggs are successfully removed ;
the dancer suddenly stops, and without
seeming in the least dizzied by this dance
of twenfy-five or thirty minutes, she ad-
vances to the spectators with a firm step,
and presents them the eggs, which are im-
mediately broken in a flat dish to prove
that there is no trick about the perform-
ance.— ■S(ril>ners,

WONDERFUL MEMORIES.

Pliny says that Cyrus had a memory so
prodigious that he could name every officer
and soldier in his armies; and that Lucius
Scipio knew every Roman citizen by name
when that city contained more than two
hundred thousand capable of bearing arms.
Seneca speaks of a friend, Pontius Latro,
who could repeat verbatim all the speeches
he had heard declaimed by the Roman ora-
tors. It is said that Joseph Scaliger com-
mitted to memory both the Iliad and the
Odyssey in twenty-one days. Sir William
Hamilton tells us of a young Corsican of
good family who had gone to study civil
law, in which he soon distinguished himself.
" He was a frequent visitor at the house
and gardens of Muretus, who, having heard
that he possessed a remarkable art or fac-
ulty of memory, though incredulous in re-
gard to reports, took occasion to request
from him a specimen of his power. He at
once agreed ; and, having adjourned with a
considerable party of distinguished auditors
into a saloon, Muretus began to dictate
words, Latin, Greek, barbarous, significant,
and non-significant, disjointed and con-
nected, until he wearied himself, the young
man who wrote them down, and the audi-
ence who were present; 'we were all,' he
says, 'marvelously tired.' The Corsican
alone was the one of the whole company
alert and fresh, and continually desired
Muretus for more words, who declared he
would be more than satisfied if he could
repeat the half of what he had taken down,
and at length he ceased. The young man
with his gaze fixed upon the ground, stood
silent for a brief season; and then, says
Muretus, ' Vidi facinus mirijicissinium.'
Having begun to speak he absolutely re-
peated the whole words in the same order
in w'fiich they had been delivered, without
*^ne slightest hesitation; then, commencing
from the last, he repeated them backward
till he came to the first. Then, again, so
that he spoke the first, the third, the fifth,
and so on ; did this in any order that he
was asked, and all without the smallest
error. Having subsequently become fa-
miliarly acquainted with him, I have had
other and frequent experience of his power.
He assured me (and he had nothing of the
boaster in him) that he could recite in the
manner I have mentioned to the amount of
thirty-six thousand words. And what is
more wonderful, they all so adhered to the
mind that after a year's interval he could
repeat them without trouble. I know, from
having tried him, he could do so after con-
siderable i\m&."—Scribner's.

The soul and body are as strings of two
musical instruments set exactly at one height ;
if one be touched the other trembles. They
laugh and cry, are sick and well together.

Sherman & Hyde's ^VIusical Review.

THE REALM OF SILENCE.

[Translated from the German, for the Musical Review,
by Miss E. S)

Silence, the sublime realm of silence!
That alone is great — all else small. Let us
imagine a laughing spring morning. Two
days ago, the earth was cold, naked and
brown ; but now an emerald green carpet
covers mountain and valley. But didst
thou hear the buzz of the wheel, as the car-
pet was spun ? Did the whirring of the
loom penetrate the stillness of the shortest
winter night to thine ear ? Didst thou hear
anything of the restless shuttle flying hither
and thither, or did the voicesof the weavers
ever reach thee ? Where the trees yester-
day stretched their naked branches up to
heaven, we see to-day green leaves unfold.
Whence do the still workers come, and
whither do they go.' Myriads of flowers
shine around; bend thine ear to one of
them and listen I Dost thou hear the life
blood run through their tender arteries ?
Dost thou perceive their fragrant respira-
tion .'

A thousand times was the green caroet
unrolled, a thousand times the trees shot
into green, a thousand times the scattered
flowers perfumed the air. But in what
chronicle is it written, that the seal of si-
lence which God has set upon these works,
was ever broken ? His dew silently moist-
ens the hill ; He waters the sunken roots of
the plants and penetrates their pores, and
see I the curled leaves expand and shine in
fresher green.

The frost also is a silent worker. He
steals by night into a proud garden and the
flowers die under his Judas kiss. He
breathes upon the brook and stifles its
merry murmuring; he looks upon lakes
and rivers and motion ceases; he swings
his wand over fields and gardens and the
hoUowed-eyed spectre of famine broods
over the land. All that is great in nature is
accomplished in silence; all her great
works an executed in stillness. There is,
for e.^cample, the law of chemical affinity
t&at brings and holds together the constit-
uent parts of each plant, animal and min-
eral. The silent sunbeam which is the
source of all nature's power, kisses the
earth and it its transformed into youthful
beauty. He paints the meadows and for-
ests, gives to the fields their gold and to the
orchards their scarlet and yellow. He
causes the flood of the brook which turns
the mill, as also of the ocean which thun-
ders on the cliff. He steals among the
particles of air which dream quietly upon the
plain; the sleeping atoms awake, dance and
play with leaves and flowers, and caress
the fevered cheek, then with swelling voice
wildLy whirl and storm as waterfalls roar
over the land.

In every drop of water, the microscope

(according to Ehrenberg) shows us five
hundred millions of living beings. Each
little piece of earth and stone, each leaf,
each flower exhibits to us a miniature living
world. Round about us, in everything that
our eyes perceive, are millions of creatures
which live, move and work in silence. Is
it necessary to mention the silkworm, which
in stillness spins its wonderful tissue, there-
by putting, yearly, a million dollars in cir-
culation ?

The cities of the silent ! There is no fit-
ter expression for the church-yard. No
rattling wagons nor tread of hastening feet
sounds from these crowded, underground
streets. Out of these myriad houses pene-
trates no sound. Children are there, but
no laughing or weeping. Parents are
there, but they command, advise and tell
nothing. Husband and wife are there, but
they exchange no word of love. Enemies
are there, but no quarrel breaks out. Mu-
sicians are there, but no music. Silence, as
deep as thought before the world began,
reigns in these streets.

And now to thee, thou silent, inaudible,
mysterious laboratory, brain of man, with
the silent workman Fancy, who in a mo-
ment builds and destroys states. Thou
wonderful mechanism with all thy power
and capacity to think, argue, dream, and
create. Who will recount thy works which
are originated in silence? Look around
thee! Cities and books, knowledge, art
and industry — these silent workers — these
intellectual powers of men — have founded
the laws of nations. Powerfully and still
do they labor day after day on the great

ANECDOTE OF SIR WM, SIDNEY SMITH.

1 once heard an anecdote of this dis-
tinguished British naval officer which is
worth repeating.

When in his eleventh year — a year before
he entered the navy as midshipman — our
hero formed a strong attachment for a girl
cousin of about his own age, who was stop-
ping at the old hall in Sussex, and the gal-
lantry which distinguished him in after years
was not wanting even at that early age.
Among the many accessories to the beauty
of the place was a broad, deep lakelet of
clear, shimmering water, which particularly
attracted the attention of the -embryo ad-
miral, and from the margin of which the
anxious entreaties of his parents could not
restrain him.

It was the custom of the paternal Smith,
every evening, to summon his household to
prayer, and the members thereof were called
together in the primitive fashion of the
sounding of the horn. One summer eve-
ning the horn was sounded in the usual
manner, but in answer to repeated blasts.

no William Sidney nor Mary Anne ap-
peared. The father became alarmed, and
caused the horn to be sounded louder and
louder, but without avail.

The young absentee heard the horn plain-
ly enough, but he did not obey the sum-
mons, because he could not. In short, he
was in a situation extremely nautical, and
if it was pleasurable to him, it certainly was
not to those who finally gathered around to
behold.

The boy had laimched a large wash-tub
upon the lake, and having embarked with
his fair cousin, he had, by means of a long
pole, set himself well out from the shore.
Whether he paid more attention to his love-
ly companion than to the navigation of his
frail bark, or not, we can not say, but, from
some cause of inattention he lost his pole,
and when the household reached the shore
they beheld the tub in the center of the
deep lake, with not a breath of air to move
it landward, its only motion being a revolv-
ing one. The future hero of many battles
stood with his arms folded, while his more
timorous companion crouched low down,
wailing with terror.

The situation was truly perilous, for a very
slight motion would have been sufficient to
overturn the tub, and those on shore were
totally at a loss how to bring the frail craft,
with its precious burden, to land. Not one
of them could swim. Night was drawing
on apace, and the situation was becoming
every moment more critical and dangerous.

At length, however, he who had created
the difficulty proceeded to overcome it.
When he had sufficiently enjoyed the glory
of the situation he hailed those on the shore,
and directed them to give one end of the
string of his kite to his favorite dog. This
having been done, he called the dog to the
tub and thus gained a tow-line, by means of
which his first command was safely towed
to the shore, where the relieved parents
quickly snatched the rescued pair from the
stranded bark. The father was so deeply
affected that he could not speak. Not so,
however, William Sidney.

"Now father," said the young hero, "I
guess we'll go to prayers."

They did go to prayers, and it may well
be imagined that the prayers on that eve-
ning were unusually heartfelt and sin-
cere.

With time and patience the mulberry
leaf becomes a satin. What difficulty is
there at which a man should quail when a
worm can accomplish so much from the
leaf of the mulberry.

We should learn never to interpret duty
by success. The opposition which assails
us in the course of obedience is no evidence
that we are mistaken. — NeiiDnan Hall.

TOUGHENED GLASS.

To M. de la Bastie, a French engineer,
belongs the honor of discovering a method
for toughening glass, so as to render it ca-
pable of being converted with many ad-
vantages into almost all kinds of general
household utensils. The following descrip-
tion of some of its properties from Apple-
ton's Journal vi worthy of attention:

A sheet of tempered glass, about eight
inches square and one-eighth of an inch
thick, was placed in an oak frame, so as to
raise it from the floor ; a two-ounce weight
was then let fall from a height of ten feet.
The weight fell the first time on the oak
frame, and caused a considerable indenta-
tion ; on the second trial it struck the glass
plate fairly in the center, but bounded off
without injuring it in the least. A piece of
common glass, of the same dimensions, was
broken by a one-ounce weight falling eight-
een inches. Sheets of this tempered glass
may be thrown on the floor with impunity,
and vessels of it may be used to boil water,
and, even when the water has all been
boiled away fresh cold liquid may be intro-
duced without cracking the vessel. In a
word, the glass is almost as tough as metal,
and may be made to serve almost all of
the general household purposes. A second
and especially valuable feature of this
toughened glass is its properties as a non-
conductor of heat. Lamp-chimneys made
of it may be heated to redness at one end;
the opposite end remains sufficiently cool
to permit of their being handled without
discomfort. The importance of this quality
will at once appear when it is suggested
that windows fitted with these toughened
panes will remain intact though the interior
of the building should be in flames. But it
is not our purpose to debate upon the prob-
able service of this discovery. To every
reader some new and important adaptation
will suggest itself, and the frugal housewife
we can imagine as already in an ecstasy of
good-will toward the discoverer of a process
by which her tumblers may be made as
hard as iron and yet remain as clear as
crystal.

EMINENTLY FRENCHY.

The other afternoon, while the manager
of a French provincial theater was sitting on
the terrace in front of the Cafe des Varie-
ties, in Paris, talking with the proprietor, he
was surprised by the approach of a hand-
some, elegantly dressed young woman, who
said to him: "Sir, I see by your ring that
you are a married man. 1 also am married,
and must speak with you. Come with me."
The manager astonished but curious, obeyed;
and fo owing the fair unknown into her
coupe was driven away. " I am not an ad-
venturess," said the youn woman, " I have

money," (at the same time showing 6,000
francs in bank notes), "but it is essential
that you should aid me in escaping from
my father and my husband, who make me
very unhappy." She continued in this
strain till the coupe reached the Pont des
Arts, when she suddenly cried out, "I am
about to commit a crime," and jumping
from the carriage, ran to the parapet of the
bridge and mounted it, in order to plunge
into the river. The police fortunately seized
her in time to prevent this. A crowd im-
mediately collected, but the manager said
to the gendarmes, with great presence of
mind, "this is my wife, who is merely suf
fering from a little aberration of mind, and
wished to frighten me." The lady was re-
leased, and getting into the coupe with her
new friend, they returned to the Cafe des
Varieties. The young lady, during the re-
turn drive, did not say a word. When the
cafe was reached she gave her father's ad-
dress, who was of course at once sent for,
and took his daughter home. She belongs
to one of the most fashionable families in
Paris, and her parents are of high rank.
She was laboring under an attack of hys-
teria, which rendered her, for the time be-
ing, insane.

HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

The London Spectator says of Hans
Christian Andersen: "That his marvelous
simplicity extended to every affair of life.
He, who made many rich, was poor him-
self. His books brought him very little ;
the tiny pension allowed him by the State
and his free stall at the theater constituted
his wealth. But he never thought of money;
in that, too, he had all a child's perfect
truthfulness. Some spirited attempts were
made to marry him ; one in particular, by
a handsome peasant girl, who wrote him a
love-letter, and took it to him herself.
When he had read it, she urged her cause
in words — 'I would be so good to you,' she
said ; ' I would take such good care of you.'
'1 don't doubt it,' he replied; 'but, my
good girl, I don't want to be married.' He
had a grand passion, he used to say, once,
and i^ was enough for all his life ; and then
he would weave some of his purest, bright-
est, most beautiful and graceful fancies
round the image of — Jenny Lind. Some
mysterious affinity existed between him and
the flower-world. He would handle flow-
ers and whisper to them, and they would
take wondrous combinations at the bidding
of his big, fat fingers. When he held flow-
ers, or presented them, he became almost
graceful, and he had a floral language all
his own. A quick observer might trace
Andersen's reading of character, or rather
the revelation of his true child instinct, in the
flowers which he would present to the ladies
whom he selected for this coveted honor."

AN ENGLISH REMINISCENCE FROM ONE OF
MOODY'S SERMONS.

When in Newcastle-on-Tyne, he said, he
had noticed at one of his meetings a woman,
and, meeting her in the aisle after the ser-
vices were over, he had asked her if she
were a Christian and if she loved Christ.
She answered, "No, and I don't want to be
a Christian. I don't want to be bothered
with all the nonsense. 1 just came here for
fun." He told her he was very sorry and
left her. But he had several meetings in
Newcastle after that, and he noticed this
woman always present. He said nothing,
but watched her, and one night he saw that
she was in tears; and when the meeting
was over he approached her again and
asked her if she was unchanged and if she
still rejected Christ, and she answered, no,
that she was now a Christian, and that she
thanked God. "And to-day," said Mr.
Moody, " I got this letter, which I will
read." The letter was from the huiband of
the woman and announced her death. Mr.
Moody read it in such a manner, his own
voice breaking as he read, that the audience,
and especially the women, were deeply
affected. Many handkerchiefs went up
hastily to many eyes, and more followed as
Mr. Sankey, without any announcement,
began playing softly the accompaniment to
one of his songs. "Almost Persuaded " was
the song chosen. The singer's voice was
husky, as if with emotion, though not in a
degree to destroy the rich fullness of the
tone. When he had finished there was per-
fect silence throughout the rink. Mr. Moody
had his handkerchief to his eyes, and most
of the women in the audience as well as
many of the men were in tears.

ENGLISH IVY.

The use of English ivies for the purpose
of decorating living rooms is more exten-
sive every year, and can not be too highly
commended. Being very strong, they will
live through any treatment; but study their
peculiarities and manifest willingness to
gratify them, and they will grow without
stint.

The English ivy growing over the walls
of a building, instead of promoting damp-
ness, as most persons would suppose, is
said to be a remedy for it, and it is men-
tioned as a fact that, in a certain room
where damp has prevailed for a length of
time, the affected parts inside have become
dry when ivy had grown up to cover the
opposite exterior side. The close overhang-
ing pendant leaves prevent the rain or
moisture from penetrating to the wall.
Beauty and utility in this case go hand in
hand. — Journal of Horticulture.

Corn is cleaned with wind, and the soul
with chastening. — George Herbert.

Sherman & Wyde's Musical Review.

THE TOWER OF BABEL.
The Mexican legend, concerning the es-
cape of a remnant from a great deluge
which once overwhelmed the earth, may
have had its origin in the Biblical narrative
of the Tower of Babel. The Mexicans
round Cholula had a special legend, con-
necting the escape of a remnant from the
great deluge with the often mentioned story
of the origin of the people of Anahuac from
Chicomoztoc, or the Seven Caves. At the
time of the cataclysm, the country*, accord-
ing to Pedro de los Rios, was inhabited by
giants. Some of these perished utterly ;
others were changed into fishes ; while seven
brothers of them found safety by closing
themselves into certain caves in the moun-
tain called Tlaloc. When the waters were
assuaged, one of the giants, Xelhua, sur-
named the Architect, went to Cholula and be-
gan to build an artificial mountain as a monu-
ment and a memorial of the Tlaloc that had
sheltered him and his when the angry waters
through all the land. The bricks were swept
made in in Tlamanalco, at the foot of the
Sierra de Coeoti, and passed to Cholula
from hand to hand along a file of men —
whence these came is not said — stretching
between the two places. Then were the
jealousy and the anger of the gods aroused,
as the huge pyramid rose slowly up, threat-
ening to reach the clouds and the great
heaven itself; and the gods launched their
fire upon the builders and slew many, so
that the work was stopped. But the half-
finished structure, afterward dedicated by
the Cholultecs to Quetzalcoatl, still remains
to show how well Xelhua, the giant, de-
served his surname of the Architect.

I CAN'T BEAR TO BE A LIAR.

Two boys were in a schoolroom alone
together, when some fireworks, contrary to
the master's express prohibition, exploded.
The one boy denied it; the other, Bonnie
Christie, would neither admit or deny it,
and was severely flogged for his obstinacy.
When the boys got alone again —

"Why didn't you deny it.'" asked the
real delinquent.

"Because there were only we two, and
one of us must have lied," said Bonnie.

"Then why not say I did it ?"

" Because you said you didn't, and I
would spare the liar."

The boy's heart melted— Bonnie's moral
gallantry subdued him.

When school resumed, the young rogue
marched up to the master's desk and said '■

"Please sir, I can't bear to be a liar. I
let off the squibbs," and burst into tears.

The master's eyes glistened on the self-
accuser, and the unmerited punishment he
had inflicted on his school-mate smote his
conscience. Before the whole school, hand

in hand with the culprit, as if they paired in
the confession, the master walked down to
where Christie sat, and said aloud, with
emotion :

" Bonnie, Bonnie, lad — he and I beg your
pardon ; w-e are both to blame."

The school was hushed and still, as older
schools are apt to be when anything true
and noble is being done — so still they might
have heard Bonnie's big boy-tear drop
proudly on his copy book, as he sat enjoy-
ing the moral triumph which subdued him-
self as well as the rest ; and when, for the
want of something else to say, he gently
cried: "Master, forever!" the glorious
shout of the scholars filled the man's eyes
with something behind his spectacles, which
made him wipe them before resuming his
chair.

THE INVENTOR OF THE WHEELBARROW.

It takes a great man to do a little thing
sometimes.

Who do you think invented that very
simple thing called a wheelbarrow ? Why,
no less a man than Leonardo da Vinci.

And who was he ?

He was a musician, poet, painter, archi-
tect, sculptor, physiologist, engineer, natu-
ral historian, botanist, and inventor, all in
one. He wasn't a' "Jack at all trades and
master of none," either. He was a real
master of many arts, and a practical worker
besides.

When did he live ?

Somewhere about the time that Columbus
discovered America.

And where was he born ?

In the beautiful city of Florence, in Italy.

Perhaps some of you may feel a little bet-
ter acquainted with him when I tell you
that it was Leonardo da Vinci who painted
one of the grandest pictures in the world —
"The Last Supper," — a picture that has
been copied many times, and engraved in
several styles, so that almost every one has
an idea of the arrangement and position at
the table of the figures of our Lord and his
disciples ; though I am told that, without
seeing the painting jtself, no one can form a
notion of how grand and beautiful it is.

And only to think of the thousands of
poor, hard-working Americans who really
own, in their wheelbarrow, an original
"work" of Leonardo da Vinci! — S/. Nicho-
las.

THE POOR MAN'S OFFERING.

It is related that Agrippa, king of Israel,
once conceived the idea of offering a thou-
sand sacrifices on one day, and he ordered
the High Priest to close the altar against
every one who might be desirous of bring-
ing offerings that day. It so happened that
a poor man came to the priest with two
turtle doves as his free-will offering. " I

can not receive them to-day," said" the
High Priest, " I am commanded by the king
to accept no offerings but his this day."

The poor man, sorely troubled, urgently
besought the High Priest not to reject his
humble tribute of gratitude. "Who know-
eth," said he, "whether I shall live to the
morrow to fulfill my vow ?"

The High Priest could not resist these
fervent pleadings and sacrificed the turtle
doves.

When this occurrence came to the king's
ears, he remonstrated angrily with the High
Priest for his disobedience. The latter re-
joined, " How could I close the altar against
one who brought his offering with all his
heart and soul ?"

A vision of the Lord appeared unto
Agrippa in the night saying, "The oblation
of the poor man was more acceptable unto
me than all thy hecatombs ; for truly it mat-
ters not whether a man offers much or little
unto the Lord. One thing is needful ; his
intentions must be pure, his heart directed
heavenwards." — Vayikra Rabba, c. j.

A CERTAIN minister having become much
addicted to drink, his Presbytery had to in-
terfere and get him to sign the pledge. This
the minister did, and promised that he
would never again take drink under any
pretext whatever. The minister certainly
kept his word ; but the result was that the
sudden reaction proved too much for him,
and he took so ill that the doctor had to be
sent for. The doctor knew the habits of
the man well, and informed the minister
that he must just begin and take his toddy
again. This the minister said he could not
do, as he had taken the pledge in the pres-
ence of the Presbytery. The doctor replied
that he might get a bottle or two quietly,
and that nobody but himself (the minister)
and the housekeeper would know anything
about it. "Man," says the minister, "my
housekeeper is worse than all the Presby-
tery put together," so that would not do.
However, it was arranged that the doctor
was to bring in the whisky and sugar, and
that the minister was to make up the toddy
m the bedroom with the hot water that he
always got for shaving purposes in the
morning. The result was the minister got
speedily well, and one day on going out the
doctor said to the minister's housekeeper,
" Weel Margaret, your maister is quite him-
self again." " There's nae doot aboot that
sir," she replied, "he's quite weel in body ;
but there's something gane far wrang in his
upper story." " What's wrong there, Mar-
garet?" asked the doctor. "Weel sir, I
dinna ken, but he asks for shavin' water six
and seven times i' the day."

"An ounce of mother," says the Spanish
proverb, " is worth a pound of clergy."

WADE'S OPERA HOUSE

* The opening night of this elegant opera
house, on the 17th ult., was an event in the
theatrical and musical history of San Fran-
cisco. At last, we have a theatre that will
bear favorable comparison with those of
Eastern and Western cities. The propor-
tions of the building, seating capacity, scen-
ery and appointment.?, are on a scale of
magnificence, and the prevailing idea of
both the owner and manager seems to have
been to reach the highest excellence and
beauty, witliout regard to expense. From
tlio dome over the the auditorium hangs a
beautiful crystal chandelier with 250 burners;
the light being mellowed by reflection from
crystal prisms ; and crystal bracHets of rare
design are placed above the parrjuette, dress
circle and balconies, and over each of the
twelve proscenium boxes. Mr. Fredericlc
W. Bert is the energetic manager of the
opera house, and Mr. James J. Bartlett istlie
stage manager; and their untiring labors
have been thoroughly successful.

On the opening night, over four thousand
persons were present, and many more were
unable to obtain admission. Programmes,
for that occasion, were printed on cheiry-
eolored" satin, by Sherman & Hyde ; and a
crystal fountain, in the corridor, witli per-
fumed water sparkling from an hundred
•tiny jets, was a great attraction. An able
dedicatory address was given liy the well-
known journalist, Mr. Thos. Newcomb, and
the Star-Spangled Banner was finely sung
by the Fabbri Opera Company, including
chorus.

The grand spectacular play, Snowflake,
was most brilliantly jiresontod. The stan-e
effects, costumes, and scenery were novel
and beautiful, and the closing transforma-
tion scene was like a dream of fairy land.
The large orchestra, which has never been

Mr. Henry A. Yinton, who has been
representing Messrs. Peloubet, Pelton & Co.
in Europe the last year, dropped in on. us
very unexpectedly la.st week. Ho report.s
over two thousand Standard Organs sold
during eight months of last year, in Great
Britain and the continent, with prospects of
a much larger demands for this year. Mr.
Vinton is a plea.sant gentleman as well as an
energetic business man, which we think has
something to do with the wonderful popu-
larity of the Standard Organ in Europe, as
well as in America. His genial face is always
welcomed by the wholesale agents of Blessrs.
Peloubet, Pelton & Co., and we regret that
our great distance from New York prevents
more frequent calls. At Stuttgart he met
our friend, Mr. Gee, who is pursuing his
studies energetically with the hope of return-
ing to California next Summer.

THE PACIFIC GRAND ORCHESTRA AND
BRASS BAND.

This organization is in a very flourishing
condition. Tlie members are making ex-
traordinary progress, considering that all
are new beginners. Preparations are be-
ing made for a grand concert to take place
this year. We believe that we state the
truth when we say, that no musical conser-
vator}- in the world offers such opportuni-
ties for young men to learn music at so small
a cost as this one ; for the members are
not only tauglit to play upon the instru-
ments, but are likewise instructed in com-
position, harmony, instrumentation, and
arrangement. Prof. C. J. J. Smith, the teach-
er, undertook a herculean task when he
commenced to teach so many at one time,
but he evidently under.stands his business,
if we may judge from the improvement made
already. We advise all young men who
wish to spend their time profitably, and
save money, to join this organization at
once.

OuB readers and the many friends of Jlr.
Geo. J. Gee, will regret the absence, in this
issue, of his monthly review of musical
matters in Stuttgart. He is an honest critic
as well as an able musician, and we prize his
opinions and appreciate his letters.

FABBRI OPERA COMPANY,

This sujaerior company has commenced a
new series of performances at Wade's Opera
House, one per week. The first was pro-
duced on the 23d ult., when The Hxtgenots
was successfully presented. At the second,
on the 30th ult., Krnani was given. On each
of these occasiofls, this magnificent theatre
was crowded to its utmost capacity, many
being unable to procure seats^ and this pop-
ular appreciation is at once gratifying and
deserved.

In the opera la.st named, Mr. Jacob Muel-
ler, the celebrated baritone, made his first
appearance, in this city, as "Don Carlos,"
and very soon secured recognition as an
artist of rare merit. The music of his role
was sung with such faultless intonation as
to captivate the audience^ and his vigorous
acting was universally esteemed. Mr. Theo-
dore Habelmann, in the title-role, fully
maintained his excellent reputation, and his
tenor solos were sparkling with sentiment.
Madame Inez Fabbri as " Donna Elvira"
was at once brilli.ant and sympathetic, and
her duet with Mr. Habelmann in the second
act was one of the features of the evening.
Mr. J. Lafontaine had the prominent part
of "Ruy Gomez de Silva," which he acted
with spirit ; and all the artists were honored
with repeated re-calls. The subordinate
roles of " Donna Giovanni," " lago" and
" Ricardo" were taken by Mme. Josephine
Frankenberg, Mr. J. Forti and Mr. Charles
lyiueger, and the latter was loudly applaud-
ed in the third act. '

The chorus was unusually good through-
out. Miss Brand, the accomplished leader
of- the ladies' chorus, has lieretofore been
very successful as a secunda donna in the
opera of La Dame Blanche, and otlier works.
A Spanish Dance, by Seuorita Christina, and
a corps de ballet, in the second act was an
agreeable addition. The fourth act was very
properlj' omitted, as much of the text weak-
ens the effect of the third act, and gives the
plot a factitious termination. Several operas
never given in this city are now in rehearsal
and will shortly be produced.

ADOLPH PFERDNER.

This gentleman, a recent graduate of the
celebrated conservatory of music in Berlin,
is becoming distinguished not only as a
pianist, but a composer. At the age of
fifteen, he drew the prize as the best pupil of
his class, and accordingly received his musi-
cal education at the expense of the Emperor
of Germany. He has composed many con-
cert pieces, also waltzes and masourkas,
which have secured his leputation, and of
late ho has composed several songs distin-
guished for originality and brilliancy. We
have just published, " Wliy Don't Ho
Come," a beautiful song, wliich possesses
superior merit, and is destined to become
very popular.

^HEi^AN &■ Wyde's Musical Review.

VISITS TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

While intoi-ested in all that pertains to
vocal and instrumental culture, attained
through per.sistent practice with the aid of
competent private teachers — a culture that
in many cases transforms the amateur into
the artist ; wo are not unmindful of tliat
preliminary vocal training, which, through
our present progressive system, the scholars
in the public schools of this city are privl-
ledged to enjoy. The results of the oral
examination in music last May were, as a
whole, so favorable, tluit wo have, since
then, occasionally called to note the pro-
gress of the pupils.

Among them the Hayes Valley Grammar
Scliool is worthy of particular mention. The
music in this school is under the direction of
Prof. W. E. Price, and although this earnest
and efficient te.ich'or gives special instruc-
tions in several other schools, none of them
excel the Hayes Valley. A prominent cause
of this unusual excellence, is the active
interest taken by the talented principal.
Prof. E. U. Humphrey, and by nearly all
the class teachers, in the musical proficiency
of their pupils, in which Prof. Price receives
their zealous co - operation. The special
teacher devotes every Friday to this school,
and divides his time among the eighteen
classes. On other days, the class-teachers
give about ten minutes to music. Even this
brief time suSices to drill the boys and girls
so thoroughly as to produce the most grati-
fying results. In the higher grades, com-
plicated pieces are sung in four parts, with
surprising taste and con-eotness, while the
lower grades necessarily sing simpler songs ;
but in almost every class, the enthusiasiri
and exactness of the pupils show at once
their intense delight in music, and the
effectiveness of their instruction.

In a school where the general improve-
ment is so satisfactory, it is difficult to pro-
perly specify the relative status of the
several classes; but the remarkable brilliancy
and accuracy of the second grade taught by
Miss Ella F. Wilson, and the third grade by
Miss M. E. Liiiman, demand especial notice ;
while the first grade of Mrs. F. E. Reynolds,
and the three fourth grades of Misses K. E.
Gorman, Kate McFadden and K. A. O'Brien
are notably meritorious. Following are the
teachers of the remaining classes: First
grade, Mr. George Brown ; second. Miss I.
M. Doyle; third. Miss A. M.Huntley; fifth.
Misses M. M. Rowe, M. E. King and M. I.
McNicoll ; sixth. Misses V. M. Smith and A.
M. Hayburn ; seventh, Blrs. M. E. Caldwell
and Miss MaryVarney; eighth. Misses A.
H. Robertson and Carrie O. Stone. We
listened to all the above-named classes, and
were much pleased with their spirited vocal
efforts. The three highest grades receive
instruction in drawing fi-om Mrs. E. P.
Bradley, a most competent teacher, and
their specimens evince rare gouius and skill
for pupils of their years.

The Valencia-.Streot Grammar .School has
had the disadvantage of frequent changes of
teachers, but many of them are well quali-
fied in music, and have faithfully "seconded
the efforts of their music teacher. Prof. Price.
Conspicuous for precision and beauty of
expression are tlie first grades taught by
Miss A. C. Ciprico and Mr. L. W. Reed, and
thethii-d by Miss M. E. Bennett; while the
second grades of Misses A. A. Rowe and M.
T. Little manifest vigor and animation. The
prineiiial, Prof. S. A. White, like his prede-
cessor. Prof. J. W. Anderson, gives careful
attention to music, and an encouraging pro-
gress is made in this branch ; also in draw-
ing, with the able superrision of Miss A. M.
Barnes.

The Eighth -Street Grammar School, of
wliich the fii-.st five grades are under the
charge in music of Prof. Price, was formerly
unequal in this brartch to some other schools,
but the determined endeavors of the class-
teachers, and of the principal. Prof. John A.
Moore, have led to" a great improvement,
until the flr.st grade, of Capt. A. J. Itsell, the
second, of Mr. A. D. D'Ancona and the
third of Miss L. M. Knowlton, have become
distinguished for their finished style and
correct time. The fourth grades of Misses
J. A. Button, J. E. Bowling and K. E. Hur-
ley have made a good musical record, while
the fifth grades, of Misses B. Dixon, L. M.
Classen and T. X,. Lynch, are still more
agreeable in their enunciation.

The Lincoln Grammar School, also in-
structed by Prof. Price, is famous for its at-
tainments in music, as well as other
branches, and we have heretofore referred
to the superior ability of the principal. Prof.
James K. Wilson, and of the corps of teach-
ers, twenty-one in number. The first grades
of Messrs C. H. Ham and W. A. Robertson,
and the second grades, of Mrs. M. J. Sankey
and Misses M. Haswell, and J. A. Forbes,
have advanced to a very creditable profi-
ciency. The third grades of Mrs. M. A.
Colby and Miss S. A. Rightmire surpass all
others in the school in mu.sic, and in their
rendering of quartettes are so perfect in time
and so sparkling in modulation, that it seems
impossible for lioys of any age to excel them;
and they well deserve the encomiums re-
ceived from visitors. Second only to these
are the third grades of Sirs. C. A. Anderson
and Miss N. Stevens, whose fine expression
is Justly admired. The fourth grades, of
Misses B. Roper, N. A. Littlefield, L. F.
Pettis and M. I. Brumloy and Mrs. M. E.
McKown are all accomplishing good results,
especially the cla.ss of Miss Roper. The
fifth grades of Mrs. A. B. Anderson and Miss
C. R. Leete average as well as the fourths,
while the fifths of MLsses N. A. Savage, H.
N. Perkins, Maria Ray and Mrs. S. A. Miles,
which sing together, are uncommonly accu-
rate for fifth grades, particularly Miss
Savage's class. The sixth grade, of Miss R.
Matthews, a lively class, completes the list.

Tlie LTniou Grammar School has had many
difficulties to contend with, iflid la»t May
made a less favorable showing than most
schools ; but on a recent occasion we heard
5 classes of the first 4 grades, and were sur-
prised to observe their great improvement.
The teachers of these classes are Mr. D.
Lambert, Miss N. S. Baldwin, Mrs. M. J.
Currier, Miss Clara Wheaton, and Miss F.
Spanhacko, and their persevering labors are
worthy of commendation. The principal,
Prof. Charles F. True, is equally devoted to
vocal culture, and the excellence of the
pupils in singing is only equaled by their
skill in drawing, of which we saw some
beautiful specimens.

In all these schools, wo are informed by
tlie principals and teachers that music is an
invaluable aid in discipline, and enhances
the interest of the pupils in other branches
of study; and that in these respects the use-
fulness of drawing is only second to that of
music. It is certainly a source of satisfac-
tion to realise that the secondary benefits
of our art are equal to its direct advantages,
and that no city in the Union can surpass
San Francisco in faculties for musical edu-
cation.

CARMINI MORLEY.

Editor Review — The many friends of
Mr. Morley, in San Francisco, will be glad to
learn of his unrivalled success in Australia.
This worthy gentleman left us about a year
since for Sydney, where he was warmly
welcomed. Thence he went to Melbourne,
where he gave several grand concerts, and
proved himself a true artist. After.a thorough
tour of the provinces, Mr. Morley accepted
an engagement with the Italian Opera Com-
pany, at Melbourne, and in opera his success
has been still more marked, his dignified
style of acting exactly suiting the cultivated
patrons of the art in that city. It is gratify-
ing to know that Mr. Morley has entirely
recovered his health, and that his voice was
never so good, and further, that he has
everywhere met with musical and financial
success. It is to be hoped that at no distant
day we may again be favored with Mr.
Morley's presence upon our shores.

POETIC GEMS.

Our readers are favored this month with
two beautiful poems, written expressly for
the Musical Review, by distinguished
authors ; one by Mrs. Cora L. V. Tappan, a
correspondent of the Eastern and London
press ; and the other by Mrs. Sarah J. Miller,
of this city, a contributor to the leading
periodicals. We hope to receive further
articles from these estimable ladies, who
have our thanks for their kind remembrance
of our journal.

EVIEW.

NAPA LADIES' SEMINARY.

This flourishing Seminary has become
celebrated as one of the best educational
institutions in California. Unlilce some
schools for ladies only, it furnishes a
thorough culture in every department of
scholarship, and no superficial smattering is
tolerated. The principal. Miss Sarah F.
SIcDonald, is emphatically a lady of practi-
cal ideas, and she is sustained by a superior
corps of teachers, one of whom, Miss Julia
A. Winchester, late of this city, teacher of
modern languages, is well - known as a
ling)iist and successful instructor. The teach-
er of drawing and painting, Mrs. Mary Mul-
holland, is an accomplished artist. Miss
Gertrude L. Hinman, the new teacher of
music, came a short time since from New
York, where she received instruction from
Prof. L. Albites, Prof. Appy, and other
distinguished musical gentlemen, by whom
she is highly recommended, and she has
already shown superior ability both as a
vocalist and pianist; while as a teacher, her
success has been finely attested by the pro-
gress of her pupils.

With such instructors, it is not surprising
that the closing exercises of the term, held
on the seventeenth of December, should
have been marked by uncommon merit.
Tlie piano duet " Zampa" was given by
Misses Brittan and Starr, and " La Gazza
Ladra," by Misses Overton and Wright.
The piano solo, " Les deux Anges" was
rendered by Miss Jennie Knox, and "The
Last Hope," by Miss Helena Hertel. A
vocal duet was given by Misses McClure
and Brownlee, and songs by the school.
The execution was excellent in each in-
stance, and was applauded by a large and
interested audience.

The literary portion of the exercises was
equal in merit. Seven young ladies gave a
colloquy in French with a genuine accent.
Essays by Misses Hattie Sproul and L.
Thompson, a recitation by Miss JSlla Hall, a
discussion by Misses M. Thompson and L.
McClure, and selections from Schiller's
dramas, were effectively rendered.

The art gallery comprised a large variety
of pencUlings, crayon pieces, and jjaintiugs
in oil and water colors, including several
landscapes, and fruit and flower pieces that
would have done credit to a San Francisco
artist. We have not space to give a descrip-
tion of the pictures, butwill append the names
of the ijupils who displayed them, viz :
Misses Emma and Ella Hall, Fanny Corn-
well, Maggie Brownlee, Lillie Hawk, Hattie
McDoyald, Ida Newhouse, Helena Hertel,
Mamie Knox, Ella Diggs, Annie Wilson,
Bertie Brittan, Lizzie Thompson, and Minnie
Boyntou.

We congratulate the principal and teachers
upon the prosperity of their institution, and
the valuable service it is doing in the
educational field.

A little bird fluttered to my breast —

So Bweetly,
Filling aud thrilling my heart with rest-
Completely ;
One song is forever there imprest —

So meetly.
This is the Sono.
In the birchen tree — in the birchen tree
Waits my own mate for me — for me —
None so happy, so happy as we —

As we.
Patiently all the day— sll the day-
Over her sunbeams flutter and play,
In our sweet nest she must ever stay —

Must stay.
Nobody knows but my mate and I,
No one beneath the sun and the sky,
Such a secret as she and I —

And 1.
I have heard all the chattering brook can say —
It chatters and laughs alt the livelong day.
And has nothing to say — nothing to say —

To say.
No one knows, none can guess, or tell,
The sweetest secret, the innermost spell,
Of joy that within the heart can dwell —

Can dwell,

I have heard all the leaves as they flutter and play.
The wanton winds woo them the livelong day.
Yet they've nothing to say — nothing to say —

To say.

Prisons will burst, and wings will grow.
Such sweet time, as no one can know;
My mate and I, we only can know —

Can know.

Wings shall grow, and songs will float
From chirping beak, and downy throat,
Filling the air with each joyous note —

Each note.

Filling with joy the earth and the sky ;

.And we know that beneath the sim and the sky,

None are so happy as she and I-

.\ snowy dove with a bleeding breast.
Came moaning and seeking a place of rest,
Moaning and fluttering to my breast.

This was its Moan.
The skies are wide and fair — so fair.
The sun and stars are there — are there.
There is room in heaven for prayer — for prayer.

■ Out of the far and purple heaven,
Down on the storm clouds fiercely driven.
While the earth was rent and skies were riven.

The earth is wide and fair — so fair.
Forests, and fields, and flowers are there:
There is only room for prayer — for prayer.

Out of the blue and gold of heaven.
Swiftly, alone, to the Master given
Token of love — ah the shaft was driven 1

Wlio pierced Ilis heart that it bleedeth so ?
Who countetli the life-drops as they flow ?
Who kneeleth and kisseth his feet so low?

Magdjtlena, thou art kissing His feet.
The blood-drops changed to honey sweet.
Blood and tears are olferings meet.

The hope of the World is wide and fair.
Fervor, and love, and desire arc there.
There is only room for prayer — for prayer.

Mateless hearts must bleed and break,
Cover the wound for Christ's dear sake —
To his breast the wounded dove He will take.

The cai-th, and sky, and hoavous are fair — bo fair.
Flowers, and worlds, and suiTs are there— are there.
Faith, and hope, and love are there — are there.
The bleeding heart is healed by prayer — by prayer.
San Francisco, Feb. 1, 1870.

MUSIC AT HOME.

ORA-roRio OF "The Messiah." — This
masterpiece has been twice repeated since
our last issue, by the Handel and Haydn
Society, of this city, and the Hafnionic
Society, of Oakland, and on each occasion
with even greater eclat than at its first per-
formance on the 6th ult. The first repeti-
tion was given in Oakland, under the able
management of Mr. Klose, at the new Pres-
byterian Church, Rev. Dr. Eells, pastor,
and this spacious and beautiful edifice,
although accommodating two thousand
peojile, could not contain the multitudes
who sought admittance, and hundreds failed
to obtain even standing room. The same
accomplished soloists were present as on
the previous occasion, the chorus was sig-
nally effective, and the enthusiasm of the
audience was as remarkable as its numbers.

On the 27th ult, this oratorio was again
given in Piatt's Hall. The severe illness of
Miss Anna Elzer prevented her singing the
contralto numbers on this occasion, and
they were assumed by the soprani, Mrs. R.
K. Marriner, and Miss Clara Beutler, with
gratifying success. Mrs. Marriner's solos,
"Rejoice greatly," "Come unto Him," and
"I know that my Redeemer liveth," were
each rendered with the brilliancy of an
artiste, and with that tender expression
which springs from exalted feeling. Her
delicious trDls were so perfect as to excite
universal admiration. Miss Clara Beutler's
soprano solos, "But thou didst not leave,"
and " How beautiful are the feet," and the
contralto aria, " He shall feed His flock,"
were superbly sung. This lady did equal
justice to the delicate and forcible phrases,
and her- clearness and strength in the con-
tralto aria, were an agreeable surprise to the
audience.

Mr. Walter C. Campbell was in fine voice
and exceeded his previous efforts. His
basso solos, " The people that walked in
darkness," and " Why do the nations," were
given with such uncommon spirit and
power as to captivate the audience, and en-
title him to an equal share with Mrs.
Marriner and Miss Beutler, in the honors of
the evening. • Mr. Cornelius Makin gave a
vigorous baritone solo, Mr. John Trehane
sang several tenor solos smoothly and ac-
ceptably, and Mr. G. A. Harris gave a reci-
tation and aria.

The powerful chorus was under the entire
control of the talented conductor, Prof. Jolui
P. Morgan, and was distluguished for both
animation and precision, the later numbers
being produced willi equal freshness and
more posiliveness than tlic first part of tlie
Ijrogramme. The noble Hallelujah cliorus
was grandly rendered with the full strength
of the societies ; the audience rising in
honor of the sublime composition. The or-
chestra, which was composed of picked
musicians from Hcrold's orchestral com-

Sherman &■ Myde'S Musical Review,

pany, was singularly accurate in most of tlie
numbers, and harmonized completely with
the chorus. The violins, in particular, were
exquisitely played, and greatly enhanced tlie
effect of the delicate passages. The audience
expressed their appreciation of the gloriou.s
harmonies by frequent and ardent apiilause.

Musical Soiree. — One of the most attrac-
tive musical soirees ever held in this city,
was that on the 4th inst., given by invitation
to friends, by Prof, and Mrs. D. C. Stone, at
their residence, Xo. 1814 Geary street. The
programme included two trios fortwo violins
and piano, by Messrs. Goe and George Bur-
gess and Mrs. Burgess, which were very
agreeabl3r and correctly executed, showing
unusual skill for amateurs. Senor M. Y.
Ferrer gave two exquisite guitar solos,
and Senor S. Arrillaga rendered the piano
solo, "Home, Sweet Home," with varia-
tions, in his peculiar sparkling style. Misses
Kate Sinclair and Eugenia Stone, the former
a pupil of Prof.Gustav A.Scott, and the latter,
of Prof. M. Schultz, executed a piano duet,
"La Gallina," in a manner equallj' credita-
ble to their own musical talent, and to the
superior instruction they have received.

Tlie noted Amphion Club, comprising
Messrs Joseph Maguire, J. E. Tippett, Jacob
Stadtfeld and Walter C. Campbell, gave two
choice vocal quartettes, " Sleep Thou Wild
Rose," and "Blue Danube Waltz," and the
latter was received with enthusiasm. Mr.
Maguire sang the ballad, " Pretty Swallows
Fare Y'ou Well," and Mr. Campbell the
"Parish Sexton," and both were in fine
voice, -and excelled even their usual
achievements. Mr. E. L. Goold, Jr., gave
an Irish comic song, with chorus, which
was a novelty, and his accent was perfect.
Miss Emma Peck rendered the song "An-
gel's Serenade," with refined and beautiful
expression, and was well sustained in the
guitar and violin oliligato by Messrs. Ferrer
and Burgess. The piano accompaniments
were jjlayed with good taste by Mr. H. O.
Hunt, the well-known organist.

The entire performance was superior to
many of our public concerts, and was
thoroughly appreciated ; while the pleasant
surroundings inspired the particii^ants to do
their best. After the musical programme
was completed, refreshments were served to
the company, and an hour was spent most
agreeably in social interchange. These musi-
cal soirees are doing much to cultivate
friendly relations, and an elevated musical
taste, in this city, and we hope the example
of Prof, and Mrs. Stone may be extensively
followed.

Heeold's Oechestral Matinees. — The
fourth series of these unri\'alled instru-
mental entertainments closed on the 9th
inst., and like the previous series, drew
crowded houses. The fifth series of six con-
certs will commence at Piatt's Hall on
Wednesday, 3 p. M., leth inst.; and several
entirely new pieces, by distinguished Euro-
pean composers, are now in rehearsal and
will be successively produced.'

On the 2d inst., the programme comprised
Strauss' "Egyptian March," Lachner's
Suite II in E, Rietz' "Concert Overture,"
selections from Meyerbeer's opera of The
Hugenots, Strauss' " Blue Danube" Waltz,
and the overture to Flotow's Stradella. The
exquisite mel'odics of the two last numbers
were evidently most pleasing to the audi-
ence, although the other pieces, particularly
The Hugenots, were excellently performed.
This orchestral company lias, by long prac-
tice, attained such precision and fidelity of
musical interpretation, as to win popular
favor to a degree rarely equaled.

SciNDINAVIAN SACRED CONCERT. At

Union Hall, on the 29th ult., a sacred con-
cert was given for the benefit of the Scandi-
navian Lutheran Church, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Lindner, the noted instrument-
alist and composer. "The Jubilee Hymn,"
and "The Holy Night," composed by Mr.
Lindner, wore rendered effectively by the
choir. "The Chapel," and " The Day of the
Lord," were superbly sung by the singing
.society Norden, of which Prof. G. IS'athanson
is the accomplished conductor. As an
encore to these pieces, the beautiful Danish
song, " Good Night," was given, in which
Ml-. Nathanson gave an excellent baritone
solo, and this song was the feature of the
evening. Mr. Lindner performed a fine
bassoon solo. The " Marche Triomphale,"
a duet for two pianos, was very finely ren-
dered by Mr. Lindskog and Mr. Leonard
Georges. The concluding pieces, " Home,
Sweet Home," and the "Lord's Pi-ayer,"
were sung by the singing club "Svea."
Other vocal pieces were well executed by the
choir, and the concert was well attended.

To oxiR Sdbscribers. — We shall make
some changes in the Review, beginning in
April, which we hope will meet the approval
of our friends. The most prominent of them
will be the addition of several more pages of
music.

Piano Covers in great variety, new de-
signs, all colors, and at low prices, at Sher-
man & Hyde's, corner Kearny and Sutter
Streets.

The Review will contain monthly twelve
to sixteen pages of choice reading matter,
and over $1.50 in value in music.

We will pay good agents, either ladies or
gentlemen, more liberal cash commissions
than can be given by the publishers of any
other journal of equal merit as the Review.

Knowing full well the value of first-class
Violin aud Guitar strings for professional
use, we have tatcen great pains in the
selection of our stock, and have a large as-
sortment from the best French, German and
Italian makers. Any number can be sent
by mail.

Mme. Le Vert's Entertainment On

the 3d inst., an entertainment, comprising
readings and vocal music, were given by
Madame Le Vert. This talented lady read,
"The Home of the Brownings," and "Sou-
venirs of Distinguished Americans," in a
most charming manner, which won ardent
applause. This lady's expression is dis-
tinct and natural, and more truly artistic
than that of most public readers. Mnio.
Zeiss Dennis rendered arias from the operas
of Robert le Diable and Trovatore with the
clearness and brilliancy for which she has
become noted, and was excellently accom-
panied by Mr. H. O. Hunt. Mrs. Corlett
gave a song and recitation, aud Miss Theresa
Corlett sang agreeably the song, " Where ia
Heaven."

Mr. J. W. Malone gave two recitations :
" Inkermau" and "The Bosphorus." In
this instance we are impelled to depart from
our usual course of saying nothing when
we cannot speak approvingly, and frankly
state that the rendering of the latter piece
was execrable — in fact, the worst we ever
listened to in public. We have heard boys
in the first three grades of the Lincoln Gram-
mar school read infinitely better.

Scandinavian Concert. — The Scandina-
vian Ladies' Relief Society gave a musical
and dramatic entertainment, followed by a
ball, on the 15th ult., at Piatt's Hall. A
superb overture was given by the orchestra,
followed by an address by Mr. C. Hanlon,
explaining the objects of the association.
Santley's famous song, " Only to Love,"
was rendered by Mr. Fallenius. A pretty
tambourine dance was given by two little
girls ; and after it a fancy dance by sixteen
little girls, dressed in white, under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Ada Clark. This dance was
so beautifully given that the large audience
were enthusiastic in their demand for its
repetition, which was granted. The second
part consisted of a dramatic Swedish Idyl,
with songs and dances, which was most
elTectively rendered by the following volun-
teer amateurs : Mrs. C. Tetzcn, Mrs. B.
Bohm, Mrs. Ada Clark, and Messrs. Lid-
strom, Leverentz, Ekelund, Fallenius,
Sundblad, Bark, Ramberg, and Leonard
Georges.

^HER^AN (^ ffyDE'S MuSICAL ReYIEW.

" Infants' Shelter" Pakty.— ^n the
14th iiU., at Pacific ITall, the benevolent
larlios who have in charge the " Infants'
S)ioltor," in tliis city, gave a party, wliich
was largely attended ; and the music bj'
Ballenbcrg's Band, including a Cirand
March arranged for the occasion, was of a
superior character. Several novelties were
introduced, among them Moonlight, Leap
Year, and Bonbon dances. The effect of the
moonlight was finely produced by an adjust-
ment of calcium lights, and added greatly
to the enjoyment of the occasion. This
philanthropic organization — the "Infants'
Shelter," — for the benefit of working women
who desire to leave their children during
the day, has been successfully carried on for
two years past by a society of ladies, of
which Mrs. Joseph S. Spear, Sr. is president;
and this is now recognized as one of our
noblest charities. We are pleased to learn
that a handsome sum was realized by the
managers on this occasion.

For the Mueical Review.
WINTER.

The crisp leaves whirl in eddying troops along.
The dappled shadows daily sparser grow,
The myriad choral singers cease their song.
And flow'rets nestle in the brown earth low ;
The swollen stream leaps do\vn the mountain side,

In boisterous glee.

In new-gained pride.

To greet the sea.

Sierras* peaks in snowy mantles wrapped.
Upraise their burnished helms beneath the sun.
And sedgy banks, by Summer streams once lapped.
Lie prone beside the swift surge hurryingon.
No robins flit now, keeping lovers' tryst ;

In warmer clime.

By bright suns kissed.

They bide their time.

But soon the Master's mandate shall be felt.

And AVinter's sweet successor follow fast ;

With Spring's warm air the mountain snows shall melt,

And the young earth renew her verdant past.

The surging stream shiill sink with vain regrets: —

Faint murmuring sighs ;

And to fresh flowerets

Sing luUabys.

So heart, when sorrow's blight lays waste thy life.
And deadened hope makes Winter of thy year,
Know that the pang of pain, the fret of strife.
Are yet from Him to whom all ways are clear.
Thy Winter, too, shall pass ; thy clouds be riven,

And faith shall bring

The peace of Heaven—

The soul's sweet Spring.

Sherman &■ Hyde's Musical Review.

usiem, h ihfitfjt^

Each book of this splendid collection is separate and independent of all others, is generally bought
by itself, and used by itself. Still, as the volumes are all uniform in binding, size and style, price and
general plan, it is quite proper that they should be brought under one general designation. Indeed,
what more perfect musical library can be imagined ! Each book contains the best music of the kind
indicated by the title, and in some cases nearly all of it. For instance, " Operatic Pearls," contains
nearly all the pieces from standard operas; at least nearly all that are sung in concerts. " Gems of-
Strauss," contains nearly all the favorite compositions of the brilliant composer; and so of the other
books.

Price of Each Book in Boards, §2 50

Price of Each Book in Cloth 3 00

Price of Each Book in Fine Gilt 4 00

The whole library, (of 17 books,) will cost from $40 to $64, the latter being the aggregate price of
the fine gilt edition, which would be just the thing to present to a musical couple who are beginning
housekeeping. The plainer bound books are equally good as to their contents, and are invaluable for
teachers and pupils, being well classified, and filled with the most entertaining and useful music, both
vocal and instrumental. ^|^g=^The Pages are Full Sheet Music Size.'^^i^

KATRINA.

I am sitting on the stone curbing that
surrounds a little grave ; on the clear mar-
ble above me is carved a hand with one
finger pointing heavenward. Underneath
the words "And a child shall lead them," is
sculptured — " Katrina."

She was mine only by adoption. One
of those inexplacable providences over
which the smitten heart wears out its last
remnant of strength in vain questionings —
had snatched from me an idolized husband.
But the same hand that wrote me a child-
less widow, in pity for my grief, bestowed
the brief companionship of the child at
whose shrine I am now lingering.

I had been sitting, one afternoon, trifling
with a piece of work, striving ineffectually
to banish the ceaseless round of thought
which encircled my great sorrow; in sheer
despair I laid it aside and seating my-
self at the piano, began to sing a favorite
of the loved dead, "Auld Robin Gray."

Absorbed in the broken hearted wail I
had forgotten al! else, when a low sobbing
startled me. Turning, I saw standing at
my side one of the children, whose joyous
voices, mingling with other street sounds
had fallen upon my ears like merry strains
of music, all out of accord and measure
with the mournful cadences to which my
thoughts were keeping time. 1 had noticed
her a few days previously with others before
the door. They belonged to a family of
emigrants, and although they called her

"sister" I could not but observe the differ-
ence between them.

They had freckled faces, and hair as
sun-burned as the sands in which they
played, while she had a clear, pure skin, a
dark, liquid eye, and hair of a lustrous
bronze, hanging in tangled wavy masses to
her waist.

"What is the matter, my child?" said 1,
caressing her. " Does the music make you
sad?"

"Me mither sang it lang ago. I cry be-
cause she will sing it na mare; she is deed;"
and her sobs broke out afresh.

I took the wee lassie in my arms, and as
she clung to me I obtained her history.
Being but six years of age, she could give
no detailed account of herself, but I learned
that the woman with whom she lived was
not her mother. The kind heart, hidden
under a rough exterior had opened to the
child, when the sorrowing emigrant band
had consigned both parents to a common
grave in the wilderness. Lured by the ra-
diance of Nevada's silver star, they had left
their Highland home, journeying together
over sea and land, and she could not desert
the desolate orphan.

While I gleaned the broken outlines of
the story, the other children, missing their
companion, had' gathered round the door
and were staring with open-mouthed won-
der at the strange " leddy who was making
Katrina cry." I beckoned them' in and
commenced playing a lively air, which soon
brought smiles where tears had been on the
sweet face.

Henceforth little Katrina and myself were
inseperable. I easily persuaded her foster-
mother to relinquish her to my care, and
the child became to me as my own. The
hours no longer dragged ; with watching
and directing the unfoldings of the pure
mind, my heart, in a measure, forgot its
bitterness. Although a lightsome gleeful
little one and a very child in her fondness
for a frolic, I never struck a chord on the
piano but that she was at my side in an in-
stant.

She sang as the birds do — instinctively —
and imparting to her the knowledge I pos-
sessed was a pastime for both, her skillful
fingers accomplishing in a few moments
what it took others hours to acquire.

Most of all she loved the songs of her na-

tive land, reproducing in them the quaint
dialect, which she at other times ceased to
use. In those early days children were a
rare sight in this desolate country, and many
a rough miner — whose cabins dotted the
mountain sides above us — lingered at my
door to listen to and admire the gifted child.

One particularly, a large, dark-browed
Scot, with eyes whose sullen depths be-
trayed the unspoken story of a life of misery
and perhaps crime, seemed to find a fasci-
nation in her presence, her sunny open face
never failing to charm away his morose
moods. Years before, he had, with his hap-
py wife and romping children, sought a
home far out on the frontier, but the treach-
erous Indian had swooped upon him, de-
stroying his cabin and murdering his fam-
ily. In his despair he swore revenge, and
men told with a shudder how he had kept
his word, his unerring rifle and cruel knife
doing its savage work for years. But at last
the bloody task palled upon him, and he
had aimlessly wandered into the mining re-
gions, where he was known as " Black Don-
ald," ha\ ing no intimates and courting the
companionship of none.

Struck, at first, by the child's beauty, and
drawn more closely to her when he learned
her parentage and history, he would come
and sit for hours on the low door step and
listen, while she carroUed her songs or
watch her as she sported like a fawn around
him until his sombre eyes would fill with
tears. Often he would lift her on his broad
shoulders and bear her up the steep moun-
tain side to his little nest among the rocks.

One evening, after having returned from
one of these visits, as she lay curled up on
my lap repeating her evening prayer, she
suddenly said : " Mamma, Donald told me
to-day that he did not love God, because
he had never seen and did not know Him."

"And what did you tell him, darling?" I
asked.

" I said perhaps God had taken his little
Janet and her mother up to heaven to live
with Him, so that he would want to go
there too, and would try to get acquainted
with Him, and then he could not help lov-
ing such a good God."

I kissed the earnest face while a pang
shot through my heart, as I remembered
how small use my afflictions have been in
bringing me to a nearer acquaintance with

Sherman Sf Wyde'S Musical Review

the great Heart that was throbbing in sym-
pathy with every sorrow that convulsed my
own.

The next day a message came from Don-
ald that he had sprained his ankle, and
wanted Katrina to spend an hour with him
to help him bear the necessary imprison-
ment. I readily gave the required permis-
sion, and filling a little basket with some
home-made dainties, which I well knew the
lonely man prized as coming from woman's
hands, I watched her climb the steep path
and mentally thanked God that He had sent
such a sunbeam across my otherwise dark-
ened way.

The hour passed almost unnoticed, when
suddenly I was roused from a train of pleas-
ant thoughts by hearing footsteps and the
low murmur of voices in the yard. I opened
the blinds, and a quick glance revealed a
score of pale wild looking faces, whose
frightened eyes spoke the horror that had
seemed to have struck them all dumb.

With quaking heart 1 leaned out the win-
dow, and was about to inquire the cause of
the unusual gathering, when 1 caught sight
of a little figure, drooping and pale, borne
in the stalwart arms of a miner. The flut-
tering ribbons which confined the bronze
hair and delicate waist belonged only to my
darling.

I flew to the spot, and found my little
heather bloom lying cold and dead. The
blue-veined lids would never again unclose
from over the violet eyes they shrouded,
nor the sweet voice thrill my lonely heart
with its bird-like music. As I bent over
her, moaning in my anguish, unable to
control the torrent of rebellious thoughts
that overwhelmed me, her well remembered
words came to me as if spoken by the cold
lips I was so wildly pressing.

" Perhaps God has taken them to Heaven
that you may get acquainted with Him and
love Him."

Instantly the seething tumult was stilled.
I saw that my heart had been tied to earth.
I had been persistently placing my affec-
tions below, and as the adored object soared
to Heaven, I would not so much as raise
my eyes to catch the light from the open
gates, but shut out the heavenly vision and
refused to be comforted.

In the perfect calm that followed, I could
quietly hear how she had started home
alone, and in turning a point of rocks, had
looked back to wave her hand to Donald as
he watched her from the open door, and
stumbled into a deserted shaft, which, un-
known to him, had that day been reopened.
The fall was not great, but a sharp rock
struck out her life.

An hour before they were to bear her
from me I was surprised by a visit from
Donald.

"The bairn is gone," said he as he clasped

my hand, while great tears stood in his eyes,
from which the old fiercenesj was all gone ;
" but she has shown us the steps by which
she ascended, and, please God, I shall not
lose sight of them. And lady," he con-
tinued, " I, with several of my comrades,
wish to erect a tablet to the memory of one
whose purity shamed away our wickedness.
If you will furnish a plan, no e.\pense shall
be spared in following your design."

Touched by such an e.\hibition of love
and gratitude, I readily consented, and as I
linger to-night over the hallowed spot, 1
know that the uplifted finger has a signifi-
cance as strong for other hearts and eyes as
mine.

No flowers can bloom on these barren
rocks, but loving hands have decked the
ground with rare crystals, whose prismatic
depths fetter the sunlight only long enough
to change it into a thousand rainbows of
ever varying brilliancy — radiant messen-
gers of Hope — bearing promises of happy
meetings to long divided hearts.

Little Katrina, you fulfilled your mission,
and God took you that we "might get ac-
quainted with Him."

COLERATUR.

One understaTds by Coleratur, each fin-
ished combination of a phrase of two or
more notes, when these attain a certain
rapidity. A certain vagueness lies in this
definition, which, however, can not be re-
moved because the boundaries are uncer-
tain. The main condition is, that upon one
syllable, that is to say, on one and the same
vowel, two or more notes be executed ; for
a very rapid succession of tones, as for ex-
ample, in Italian Buffo style, in which each
tone makes a syllable, is never called
Coleratur. Again, the succession of several
tones upon a long vowel can be such a slow
one that no Coleratur will be found, as, for
example, in old church style. If, in the
portata melody, the single. tone, as such,
claims a longer interval of time for itself, it
will be necessary to make it sufficient to in-
terest the hearer, during this longer interval
of time, which is only attainable by greater
fullness of tone, expressive animation, and
very long tones through change in degrees
of thought.

In Coleratur occurs the necessity of oc-
cupying the hearer with the rapid succes-
sion of tones, instead of the single tone ; it
always depends, therefore, in this case,
upon passing in an easy and flowing man-
ner from one tone to another, and that this
be attained, the muscular power which is
bestowed upon the single tone must be
economized. The single tone in Coleratur
singing will be less full and strong, and
must be taken with a small expenditure of
power.

Female voices are more flexible than
those of males — soprano and tenor more
flexible than alto and bass. The original
capacity of the lungs and arch of the throat,
as well as the strength of the vocal cords
for sound, constitute wide, natural distinc-
tions; finally, add to these, the influence
which the will, that is the ideal which the
singer strives to obtain, has upon the sound
of the voice. Human voices can vie with
instrumental music in agility, as Henrietta
Sontag by the execution of Rode's varia-
tions for the violin, and Pauline Viardot
Garcia by the execution of Chopin's piano-
forte mazurkas, have shown. On the other
hand, it can work upon the feelings with
the awe inspiring earnestness of the trom-
bone. The essence of music lies in emo-
tion, therefore the beautiful tone must be at
once moving and explanatory. Therefore,
a light intonation, and the art of producing
tone with little breath must lie in the founda-
tion.

These qualities will advance the study of
Coleratur in an extraordinary degree. Fur-
ther, there are no better means of cultivating
the compass of the voice towards the higher
notes, and producing evenness of the regis-
ters, than the study of Coleratur. The
high notes are won by easy beginning, not
by increasing effort from tone to tone as
nature dictates. Coleratur leads the singer,
in this respect, more safely upon the right
way, as the lasting occupation with portata
music, by which he is always too easily
misled to a heavy, forced beginning of the
high tones. But what concerns the equal-
izing of the registers. The singer will per-
ceive with clearness, in the study of Cole-
ratur, the inconveniences which the uneven-
ness of the registers carries with it, and
consequently is induced to polish the harsh
tones until they reach that degree of uni-
formity with each other, which will enable
him to produce rapid, precise and distinct
transitions.

If we consider the human voice as we
should, as an organism, there will appear
besides the tones of the whole extent of the
voice, of which the lowest possess less
power and flexibility than the higher, a reg-
ister situated in the high pitch, of delicate
tones, called falsetto voices, which is ob-
tained by vibration of a part of the vocal
cords. This register, as easily to be ob-
served in high soprano as in men's voices,
is especially adapted to Coleratur and loses
its charm and usefulness when employed
in more serious compositions. From this
physical disposition of the human voice
arises the formation of Coleratur in a nat-
ural way. And experience teaches that
this high register succeeds best when the
power of the deeper tones is not too strongly
exerted, and especially not pushed too far
into the higher sounds. One can even

point out as the most normal, advantageous,
treatment of the voice, that which keeps
the intellectual expression in certain limits,
since thus, the various possibilities of culti-
vating the voice can be practiced in the
most equal manner. In general, I may
say, that the natural instinct of the present
day, the striving after effect, for power, for
dramatic expression, misleads singers to
overstep the limits, whereby the human
voice is finally brought to development, de-
fective and spoiled. Now something must
be said of Staccato, Marcato, Legato as well
as of Piano and Forte Coleratur.

Staccato Coleratur is that which deviates
the farthest from the natural presupposition
of the art of singing, of the binding of the
tone with the word. Staccato is the most
seldom to be employed in the art of sing-
ing. It belongs almost exclusively to high
soprano voices, and only to the register of
the same which is farthest removed from the
speaking and chest voice, the head voice,
which is neither adapted to heavy accent-
uation, nor binding the tone with the word.
The Staccato of high soprano tones is of
extraordinary attraction; however partial
its value may be, nevertheless it would be
pedantry to wish it wholly excluded from
the art, provided it is not brought into use
too frequently, and in the wrong places.
As mistakes in Staccato, we should point
out especially the intonation of sounds in
too harsh a manner, without that light
breathing which softens the suddenness of
the intonation. Lightness and rapidity
come naturally in most cases wherever the
proper register exists, and yet, in order to
produce this register in soprano voices
which are in process of formation. Staccato
singing, as for example in chord solfeggi,
is the best means; and it should then be
the aim to retain those accessory tones and
make them useful for higher performances,
in doing which, however, a certain medium
should not be overstepped.

Marcato Coleratur binds the single tones,
but in such a manner that each tone re-
ceives a powerful accent. During this
study, it can materially help the singer in
avoiding the danger of confounding the
tones, because it directs his attention point-
edly to each single tone and brings into
artistic use the impression of expressive
energy and passionate agitation. Too fre-
quently applied, it impresses singing with
the stamp of affectation, because it is un-
natural to accent every single tone equally.
As Staccato belongs especially to high
soprano voices, Marcato can oftenest be
used by bass voices. Staccato and Mar-
cato are similar in this — that they render
each single tone keenly prominent, but op-
posed in this, that Staccato is the highest
and least accented, Marcato the heaviest
and most accented style of Coleratur. With

passages of extraordinary difficulty, Marcato
appears as a remedy to prevent the confu-
sion of tones.

The Legato is the most beautiful but the
most difficult kind of Coleratur. It consists
in this — that the tones succeed each other
without confusion but still quite smoothly
and naturally connected with each other,
by means of which, according to the char-
acter of the piece, those tones receive a
stronger or a weaker intonation which is
required by the rhythmical or harmonic-
melodic connection. It is for that reason
the most beautiful kind of Coleratur — as it
returns most fully the relation of the single
one to the whole, (that is of the single
tone to the chain of tones to which it be-
longs)— the most difficult because the nat-
ural inclination to let the chain of tones
run together must be overcome, without
any aid except that we have learned as
Marcato. This inclination rests upon this,
that the vocal chords must be differently
stretched upon every higher or deeper tone
and that between the degrees of thought
which may give the tone Cand that of the
tone D, still many other endless degrees
of tension exist, which correspond to just as
many possible tones. The singer must,
therefore, almost spring by the tension of
the tone C to that of the tone D with his
vocal chords, so that the degrees of tension
remaining between will pass unheard, and
yet no perceptible break (gap) arise. In
singing with words, the consonants form an
easy means to make the passage from one
tension to another unheard, although some
consonants bring danger too. With Stac-
cato Coleratur one tone is separated from
the other by a full pause during which the
changing of the tone of the vocal chords is
executed.

In Marcato Coleratur, less perceptible but
still small pauses exist, and the energy with
which each single tone is taken, favors the
leap. In Legato Coleratur all these aids are
taken away from the singer. The more rap-
idly the passage is to be executed, the more
difficult it will be to attain that neatness
(precision) and equality, which the artistic
ideal desires. Still it is to be observed that
not seldom singers are also found who exe-
cute well and more easily a rapid passage
than a slow one. This is explained thus ;
In every art, but in the art of singing in a
peculiar degree, the excellence of execution
depends upon the liveliness and acuteness
of the inner conception, and upon the en-
ergy of the will called forth by it. The singer
docs not find his tones by any outward
means like the pianist, and to a certain de-
gree the violinist also; he must produce
them by his fancy, thereby playing upon an
unseen instrument and also to every other
external perception, one completely re-
moved from the vocal chords. If he lacks

the incommunicable presence of a correct
and living conception, if he does not hear
mentally the prescribed tones in full purity,
in perfect certainty, he is unable to produce |
a satisfying performance. For Coleratur,
therefore, first of all, a rapid power of con-
ception is necessary. If this does not ex-
ist, or if the accuracy of the conception is
lost by rapidity, the main condition for the
success of Coleratur is lacking. But spirit-
ual natures are differently organized ; some
imagine a difficult passage easier as a
whole, whereupon they are inclined to a
greater rapidity of execution, while some,
rather, fix the eye keenly upon the single
one, thereby better overcoming the difficul-
ty with a certain caution and slowness. As
I fear to tire the reader, I allow myself to
close the foregoing with a few remarks,
hoping that the whole will be of interest.
In the beginning of exercises for Coleratur,
cultivate scales, solfeggi, spondee, and trills
by which the chromatic scale is attained in
greater security, for almost all Coleratur de-
pends upon these simple elements. There-
upon Solfeggi of Hava, Concone Maggoni,
Righini, Bordogen, also the little studies of
Gorcia are to be studied. The study of
Coleratur is, even where natural talent ex-
ists, laborious and wearisome, as soon as
one holds firmly to the requirements with
all strictness. It requires much musical
talent, continual diligence and a careful at-
tention, also a voice naturally adapted to it.

A LITTLE FABLE.

Southey used to say that his means lay in
an inkstand, and Byron somewhere says
that a drop of ink may make a million think.
Ink has been very aptly designated as the
black slave that waits upon thought. "Take
away the sword," said the famous Cardinal
of France, " States can be saved without it.
Bring the pen." It is the enchanter's wand,
in itself nothing, yet taking sorcery from
the master's hand wherewith to move the
world. But we had a fable in our mind
which we would depict for our readers. The
sword of the warrior was taken down to be
brightened, though it had not been long out
of use. The rust was rubbed off, but there
were spots that would not disappear — dark,
signicant spots; they weie of blood. The
sword was on the table, near the pen of the
secretary. The pen took advantage of the
first breath of air to move a little farther off.
"Thou art right," said the sword; "I am
a bad neighbor." " I fear thee not," re-
plied the pen ; " I am more powerful than
thou art, but I love not thy society." " I
can flash like the lightning." said the sword.
"Ah! but my rays are eternal," said the
pen. "I exterminate," added the sword.
"And I perpetuate," answered the pen.
" Where were thy victories if I recorded
them not? Even where thou thyself shall
one dav be — in the Lake of Oblivion !"

AFTER THE BALL.

[We publish below the beautiful poem, "After the
Ball," the composition of which is jointly claimed
by Dr. Owen St. CUir, of the Ifaiamsa Sua. and
Miss Nora Perry who protests that the first time it
appeared in print she furnished it for the Atlanltc
Monthly.]

They sat .ind combed their beautiful hair.

Their long bright tresses, one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there
After the revel was done.

Idly they talked of waltz and quadrille.

Idly they laughed, like other girls,
Who over the fire, when all is still.

Comb out their braids and curls.

Robes of satin and Brussels lace.

Knots of flowers and ribbons too,
Scattered about in every place.

For the revel is through.

And Maud and Madge in robes of white,

The prettiest night gowns under the sun,
Stockingless, slipperless, sit in the night.
For the revel is done —

Sit and comb their beautiful hair.

Those wonderful waves of brown and gold,
Till the fire is out in the chamber there.

And the little bare feet are cold.

Then out of the gathering winter chill.
Out of the bitter St. Agnes weather.
While the fire is out and the home is still,
Maud and Madge together —

Maud and Madge in robes of white.

The prettiest night gowns under the sun.
Curtained away from the chilly night.
After the revel is done —

Float along in a splendid dream.

To a golden gittern's tinkling tune.
With a thousand lustres shimmering stream.
In a palace's grand saloon.

Flashing of jewels and flutter of laces.

Tropical odors sweeter than musk,

Men and women with beautiful faces.

And eyes of tropical dusk —

And one face shining out like a star,

One face haunting the dreams of each.
And one voice sweeter than others are.
Breaking into silvery speech —

Telling through lips of bearded bloom.

An old, old story over again.
As down the royal bannered room.

To the golden gittern's strain —

Two and two they dreamily walk.

While an unseen spirit walks beside.
And, all unheard in the lovers' talk.
He claimed one for a bride.

Oh, Maud and Mad,;;e, dream on together.

With never a pang of jealous fear !

For, ere the bitter St. Agnes weather

Shall whiten another year.

Robed for the bridal, and robed for the tomb.

Braided brown hair and golden tress,
There'll be only one of you left for the bloom
Of the bearded lips to press —

Only one for the bridal pearls.

The robe of satin and Brussels V.

Only one to blush through her c.ii

At the sight of a lover's

Oh, beautiful Madge, in your bridal white,

For you the revel has just begun ;
But for "ner who sleeps in your arms to-night
The revel of life is done!

But robed and crowned in your saintly bliss.

Queen of heaven and bride of the sun.
Oh, be'autiful Maud, you'll never miss
The kiss another has won 1

RICHARD LION-HEART.

Richard of England was "the flower of
chivalry, the pearl of crusading princes.
His battle-axe seems to have been the
weapon most familiar to his stalwart arm.
He had caused it to be forged by the best
smith in England before he departed for
the East, and twenty pounds of steel were
wrought into the head of it, that he might
therewith break the Saracens' bones. Noth-
ing, it was said, could resist this mighty axe,
and wherever it fell, horse and man went to
the ground." His name became so tre-
mendous in the East, that it was employed,
says Gibbon, "by the Syrian mothers to si-
lence their infants ; and if a horse suddenly
started from the way, his rider was wont to
exclaim, " Dost thou think King Richard is
in that bush ?" He has marched as far as
Ramula and Bethania, places within a short
distance of Jerusalem, but the weather be-
came tempestuous, provisions grew short,
sickness spread through the ranks of his
host, and many in despair abandoned it.
It became thus evident that he must either
return to Jaffa, or make the hopeless attempt
of storming a walled city defended by a
garrison more numerous than his worn and
famished army, which he found himself
compelled to lead towards the coast. All
discipline was now abandoned, and after
some conflicts among themselves, the rem-
nants of the French and German crusaders
deserted en masse. Richard was now falling
back upon Acre, and the vigilant Saladin,
descending from the mountains of Judea,
took by storm the town of Jaffa, all but the
citadel. The moment Richard heard of
this, he ordered such Christian troops as he
could keep together to march thither by
land, while with only seven vessels he
hastened by sea to the relief of Jaffa, the
Joppa of the Scriptures. On arriving in the
roadsted, he found the beach covered with
the enemy. Then turning a" deaf ear to the
advice and fears of his companions, he
cried, "Cursed forever be he that foUoweth
me not!" and leaped into the water, battle-
axe in hand. The knights in the ship were
too high-souled to abandon him, and at
their head he routed the Saracens and re-
took the town. On the following day, about
dawn, Saladin appeared with the main body
of his army; and Richard, who had now
been joined by his marching troops, went
forth to meet him in front of Jaffa. There
he of the Lion heart made up for his im-
mense inferiority in point of numbers, by
his judicious arrangements; and he gained
a victory which was most decisive, and is
generally deemed the greatest of his many
exploits. Full of admiration at his bearing
in the field, Saphadin, the brother of the
Sultan, seeing him dismounted, sent him
two magnificent horses, on one of which he

pursued his success till nightfall. Every
Saracen who met him that day was killed or
dismounted, and the ordinary troops, when-
ever he led a charge, are said to have turned
and fled at the sight of him. This was his
last affair in Palestine, and a violent fever,
brought on by his exertions in Jaffa, alone
prevented him from visiting Jerusalem in
the capacity of a pilgrim. A three years'
armistice was concluded, and so ended this
crusade. If Jerusalem could have been won,
says Dr. Lingard, by personal strength and
bravery, it might have been won by Rich-
ard.— Casselfs " British Battles by Land and
Sea."

STORY OF DEJAZET.

Mile. Dejazet was one evening on her
way to the theater ; when passing the corner
of the Rue St. Honore, she heard issuing
from the area of a shop the words of one of
her best songs, " LaLisette." " Mon Dieu!"
she exclaimed, " I did not believe it possi-
ble that my ' Lisette ' could sound so dread-
ful. What would se cher Beranger say ?"
And in her impetuous way she stopped her
carriage, and descending the area steps
found herself face to face with six inebri-
ated workmen, to whom she said, in a pa-
thetic voice, " Mes enfants, how could you
sing Beranger's 'Lisette' in such a man-
ner?" "Bah!" said one, less drunk than
the others, "it is Dejazet." "Yes," she re-
plied, "it is Dejazet, who has come to im-
plore you not so to mutilate the song she
loves best." They regarded her stolidly
while she seated herself and sang "La
Lisette." Silence was preserved through-
out, and the noisy throng were sobered by
the magic of Dejazet's voice. "Never,"
said Dejazet, " had I a greater triumph than
that evening, and it was with difficulty I
escaped from their enthusiasm."

Thf. certificate of baptism of Mme. Ade-
lina Patti has lately been discovered, and

It is dated April 8, 1S43, ^"'l certifies that
on that day, Don Jose Losada, Vicar of the
parish of Saint Louis, Madrid, solemnly
baptized a child born in Fuencarral street,

Sherman & j-^yde's- Musical Review,

WHO WROTE THE "ARABIAN NIGHTS?"

Who knows ? Not Captain Mayne Reid ;
though if he had been born a Pers'an, and
lived long time enough ago, and been a
Caliph with a long beard and a scimitar,
instead of a captain in the Mexican war,
with a Colt's revolver and a goatee, and
had seen the cloud of dust which Ali-Baba
saw, 1 think he could have made out the
band of forty robbers under it, and the cave,
and all the rest.

But Mayne Reid didn't see the cloud of
dust which covered those robbers (and
which is very apt to cover all gangs of pub-
lic robbers) and therefore didn't write the
"Arabian Nights." Nor did Mrs. Hannah
More, for the book is not in her style; nor
did the author of "Little Women;" and the
genius in her "work," though very decided,
isn't at all like the Genius that comes in
smoke and flame into the wonderful story
of Aladdin and the Lamp.

You could never guess who wrote the
Arabian Nights ; — for nobody knows when
those stories were first written. It seems
very odd that a book should be made, and
no one able to tell when it was made. The
publishers don't allow such things to hap-
pen now-a-days. Yet it is even so with the
book we are talking of. Of course, it is
possible to fix the date of the many transla-
tions of the Arabian Nights which have been
made into the languages of Europe from
the old Arabic manuscripts. Thus, it was
in the year 1704 that a certain Antoine Gal-
land, a distinguished oriental scholar of
Paris, who had traveled in the East and who
had collected many curious manuscripts
and medals, published a French translation
of what was called the "Thousand and One
Nights." This was in the time of the gay
court of Louis the Fourteenth ; and the fine
laliies of the court — those of them who could
read — all devoured the book. And the
school-boys throughout France (though there
were not many school-boys in those days
outside of the great cities) all came to know
the wonderful stories of Aladdin and Ali-
Baba. Remember that this was about the
time when the great Duke of Marlboro was
winning his famous victories on the Conti-
nent— specially that of Blenheim, about
which an English poet, Dr. Southey, has
written a quaint little poem, which you
should read. It was in the lifetime, too, of
Daniel De Foe — who wrote that ever charm-
ing story of Robinson Crusoe some twelve
or fourteen years later ; and the first news-
paper in America — called the Boston News
Letter — was printed in the same year in
which Antoine Galland published this trans-
lation of the Thousand and One Nights. If
you should go to Paris and be curious to
see it, you can find in the Imperial Library
or the National Library (or whatever those

changeable French people may call it now)
the very manuscript of Antoine Galland. —
Donald G. Mitchell in St. Nicholas.

MEMORABLE KISSES.

Here is a white rose that has not faded
through three hundred years — the white rose
sent by a Yorkist lover to his Lancaster im-
morata :

" If this fair rose offend thy sight.

Placed in thy bosom bare,
■Twill blush to find itself less white.
And turn Lancastrian there.

" But if thy ruby lips it spy.

As kiss it thou mayst deign,
With envy pale 'twill lose us dye.
And Yorkist turn again."

It is a pity that we do not know who
plucked that rose with such courtly grace.
The lines, like "Chevy Chase," "The Nut-
brown Maid," and "AUan-a-Dale," are a
filius niillius, and, like many other anony-
mous waifs which have floated down to us,
could, just as well as not, carried a name on
to immortality. What sort of a kiss was it
that Amy Robsart's friend Leicester placed
upon the lips of Queen Bess, and which, ac-
cording to a chronicle of the time, "she
took right heartilie?" It was certainly a
bold proceeding " before folks," consider-
ing who the parties were. The kiss that
Chastelard asked of Mary Beaton was a
notable one. Said the gallant Frenchman :

" Kiss me with some slow, heavy kiss,
That plucks the heart out at the lips."

A TYROLESE LEGEND.

Precipices and glaciers are not the only
difficulties that the chamois hunter has to
contend with. Now and then an ugly dwarf
or hobgoblin will spring up in their path,
and threaten them with destruction. There
is a story of a hunter who was waylaid by a
little being of this sort, who snappishly de-
manded of the sportsman what he did up
there, killing all the chamois. The hunter
pleaded poverty, and justified his conduct
by the circumstance that he had a wife and
family to feed at home. So the dwarf told
him that if he gave up killing the animals
upon the mountains, he should find a fat
chamois already slaughtered hanging before
his door once a week. So the huntsman
went home, and sure enough, when he
opened the cottage door next morning, there
hung a fine chamois upon one of the trees.
The man was delighted with his good for-
tune, and for some time lived contentedly
upon the food provided for him. But after
a while he became tired of doing nothing,
and yearned to spring about the mountains,
as before, with his gun. So one morning
he bade his wife farewell, and went off to
his accustomed hunting-ground. From a
jutting rock, upon which he could just bal-
ance himself, he spied a plump chamois

feeding in the green valley below. He
steadied himself as well as possible to take
aim, when, just as he pressed the trigger,
the dwarf's laugh was heard behind him,
and at the same moment his foot was slip-
ped from the rock, and he fell headlong
into the abyss below. — Beauty Spots of the
Continent.

NAPOLEON AND VIVIER.

Vivier, the famous cornet player and hu-
morist, was a great favorite with Napoleon
III. The emperor once asked him down
to Compiegne when the great guests of the
season had taken their departure, and
treated Vivier with more than usual conde-
scension. When he arrived, the emperor
happened to be going out, and he met the
artist with one of his usual sweet, tranquil
smiles of recognition, and, calling to the
sub-chamberlain, said: "Take good care
of Vivier, and make him feel himself at
home here." But Vivier shrugged his
shoulders, and made a sort of gesture of
affright at the gracious words. "What do
you mean, Vivier?" said the emperor.
"Sire," replied the artist, "I hope your
majesty will excuse me, but I am so uncom-
fortable at home. I was expecting some-
thing infinitely better in one of your majes-
ty's palaces." "Very good, very good,"
exclaimed the emperor, laughing, "don't
make Vivier, then, feel as if he were at
home; make him know he is at Com-
piegne."

" Loafer." — Many years ago, a heavy-
set Dutchman in the city of New York, on
the Atlantic frontier, acquired a fortune, and
reared to womanhood a handsome daughter.
A young Yankee, who had great capacity
for the enjoyment of rest, fell in love, either
with the money-bags of the ancient Amster-
damer, or the person of his heir-at-law, or
both ; and made himself exceedingly plenty
in and about the Dutch domicile, much to
the affliction and vexation of the parental
head thereof, who, whenever he discovered
the aforesaid wooer, exclaimed to his
daughter, —

" There is that loafer (lover) of yours, the
idle, good-for-nothing," etc.

And from that ebullition of paternal
wrath was born the American word, " loaf-
er," meaning an idle man, hanging about,
and enduring rest in an uncomplaining and
contented manner.

Tobacco is always detrimental to youth,
especially those of a nervous, sensitive or-
ganization. Its tendency is to retard the
development of the body. It will, there-
fore, diminish the mental force with which
a young man commences the work of life,
while its narcotic influences often beguile
his energy and palsy his strength at the
very time when every faculty should be
awake.

opening of next season.

Tupper's Centennial drama is well written, and con-
tains some scenes that arc not without dram.atic power.

—Mr. Larkin G. Mead's statue of Ethan Allen,
which is in the possession of the State of Vermont,
will probably be exhibited at the Centennial Expo-
sition.

—The New York Academy of Design recently had an
exhibition and sale of about eighty pictures contribu-
ted by well-known artists, to raise a mortgage on the

Miss Neilson possesses a marked likeness to Henry

the best of Holbein's portraits of " Six-fingered Nan."

New York in April. Their majesties intend to travel
throughout the United States incog., and will give
special attention to the common school system, with a
view of stirring up the Brazilians in an educational
sense when they get back home.

—A hundred years ago four newspapers were pub-
lished in New York, the Royal Gazctlrcr, organ of the
British authorities, the Mercury, the Constitutional
Gazette, and the Ne:o York Journal, the organ of the
Sons of Liberty, published by John Holt, who at one
time was compelled to take groceries and other goods
in exchange for his paper.

-Mr. Karl Kase, of the New York Herald, is soon
to desert journalism for the stage. He has had a play
written for him, entitled "The Robjohns," in which
he takes the part of an old man whose character has
been drawn from life. Mr. Kase is a young man, a
graduate of Princeton, and was one of the Herald rep-
resentatives in Cuba during the recent difficulties.

—A New York paper says: We suppose the only
regret Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer have in the produc-
tion of "Julius Czsar" is that Shakespeare is, unfor-
tunately, not living to see it. He never dreamed of
such pomp and luxury on the stage, and it is well, per-
haps, that in his day such a display as that at Booth's
Theater was impossible. The want of scenery, etc.,
compelled Shakespeare to depend upon intellectual
dramatic effects. "JuHus Ca:sar " is an example of
this. It is filled with intensely dramatic situations,
which are effective without any aid from tho painter
or the machinist. It is greatly to the credit of the
m.-inagement at Booth's that in making the framework
of the play such a brilliant spectacle they have not

display. Th

—Hall a million persons, it is stated, visited the cem-

was decorated chiefly by Americans.

—An actor who did not like to be taken for a "supe"
is told about in the Louisville Ledger as follows:
" Mr. John Marble, who is now playing at Macauley's
Theatre, is quite a wag in his way. Yesterday, while
at dinner at one of our principal hotels, a waiter ap-
proached him, and gently asked, "Soup, sir!" "What's

the waiter. "No, sir — comediani" was the dignified

—Rossi IS a man who sleeps as little as human na-

horrid Tuscany cigars, which, as he says, " bear some-
thing of his country to his lips." He has only one old
servant he has ever been able to retain, his irritable
temper and capricious orders putting all others out of
temper. This faithful Sancho Panza only succeeds by
assuring his master that the hundred orders, given in
as many minutes, are all executed, and Rossi having
forgotten all save the last, is satisfied. Like most
geniuses, he fancies he has a greater gift than his
own, and never lails to afiirm that had he to begin life
anew he would be a tenor, and therefore is disposed
to entertain his visitors with any amount of bad music,
thinking to give them a better entertainment than by
reciting any of his wonderful parts.— Florence Letter.

—Centennial Doll. Among the relics contributed
by Newport to the Centennial fair which the ladies of
Providence are carrying on, is a doll believed to be
the oldest in the country. It is of wax, about ten
inches high, and has grown yellow from age until it
looks frightfully like a corpse. It boasts the following
history: It was imported from Paris as a model of
the fashions of the day, and was bought in Philadel-
phia by the Hon. Benjamin Bourne, of Bristol, who
was a member of Congress from 1790 to 1796. The doll
was given to his niece. Miss Lillie E. Turner, daughter
of Dr. Peter Turner, a surgeon in the Revolutionary
army. Miss Lillie was born in 1791. The doll's eyes
still move, and it still wears the finery in which it
crossed the ocean to show the ambitious dames of the
young republic how their Parisian sisters dressed.—

COSSOLATION,

Sherman St Hyde-s Musical Review.

^ omft Musical Jjibrarr*.

Each book of this splendid collection is separate and independent of all others, is generally bought
by itself, and used by itself. Still, as the volumes are all uniform in binding, size and style, price and
general plan, it is quite proper that they should be brought under one general designation. Indeed,
what more perfect musical library can be imagined ! Each book contains the best music of the kind
indicated by the title, and in some cases nearly all of it. For instance, "Operatic Pearls," contains
nearly all the pieces from standard operas; at least nearly all that are sung in concerts. " Gems of
Strauss," contains nearly all the favorite compositions of the brilliant composer; and so of the other
books.

Price of Each Book in Boards, §2 50

Price of Each Book in Cloth 3 00

Price of Each Book in Fine Gilt » 4 00

The whole library, (of 17 books,) will cost from S40 to $64, the latter being the aggregate price of
the fine gilt edition, which would be just the thing to present to a musical couple who are beginning
housekeeping. The plainer bound books are equally good as to their contents, and are invaluable for
teachers and pupils, being well classified, and filled with the most entertaining and useful music, both
vocal and instrumental. l|^=^The Pages are Full Sheet Music Size."=gjgr

During: the last few weeks, an unequaled ex-
citement has prevailed in New York among the
piano and orj^n mantifacturers and dealers, and
the press of that city have contained nunierou.s
articles upon the subject. The origin of this
excitement was a recent decision of Judge Daly,
of New York, who ruled that a hired piano wa,s
liable to seizure by a landlord to whom the party
hiring the instrument was indebted for rent or
board. This strange decision so largely imper-
iled the rights and interests of piano and organ
dealers, that it was deemed necessary to take
joint action to secure such legislation as would
eifectually prevent this flagrant injustice. Ac-
cordingly, a preliminary meeting took place at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the 22d December
last, and a committee of seven was appointed to
draft a constitution and by-laws for a protective
organization. This committee held its sessions
at Chickering Hall, and a general meeting was
called at Steinway Hall for the 31st January.

At that meeting, the representatives of sixty-
five firms, whose presence had been solicited by
printed notices, participated in good faith, the
printed recommendations of the committee were
substantially adopted, and nine officers were
elected, among them Mr. Joseph P. Hale as
President, and Mr. Albert Weber as Secretary.
It was then noticed that the conspicuous origin-
ators of the association, who invited all the
others, and exacted a membership fee of ten
dollars from each one, seemed chagrined at the
selection of the president and secretary, and it
was soon suspected that there was a concealed
motive underlying the entire movement. This
suspicion ripened into a certainty on the 9th of
February, when several of the firms, including
the original movers, withdrew from the associ-
ation, carrying with them the moneys collected,
and organized a separate society, where nearly
all could be officers ; and the Music Trade lie-
vieio, a publication started a few months since,
became their exponent. The original society

has secured a chart^n- and petitioned the Legis-
lature for the passage of a bill for the protection
of piano and organ dealers ; and we cannot see
any use for society No. 2, unless to furnish eacli
of its members with an office.

It is perfectly evident that the originators of
this protective movement had some ulterior ob-
ject in view ; and the organization of the second
society, as well as the singular combination and
bitter warfare against Mr. Welier, lead us t« in-
fer what that object was. The unparalleled
success of the WebJr Piano, based upon its supe-
rior qualities, had impelled Mr. Weber to erect
a new manufactory in order to meet the public
demand, at a time when his competitors were
curtailing their expenditui-es under the finan-
cial pressure ; aild in view of the forthcoming
Centennial Exposition, something must be done
to destroy Mr. Weber's well-earned supremacy.
We predict that this desperate crusade will
utterly fail of its object, and will receive from
an enlightened public the condemnation ii
merits. The Weber Pianc has won for itself a
reputation superior to that of all others, which,
in connection with Mr. Weber's fair and honor-
able dealing with all his customers, has produced
a trade eclipsing that of his rivals, who will yet
learn that je;ilous spite will nevQr accomplish
what legitimate competition fails to

THEODOR WACHTEL.

This renowned German tenor, a sketch of
wliojn appeared in our last number, made
his first appearance in this city in II Trova-
tore, on the 21st ult., at Wade's Opera House.
The opening of the box sheet at Sherman tt
Hyde's was signalized by the advent of
several hundred people, awaiting in line
their turn for reserved seats, at double the
usual prices. On the evening of the per-
formance, the house was densely crowded,
and in the role of " Manrico," the first
romanza of the tenor robusto was greeted
with wild applause. The marvelous flexi
bility of Jlr. Wachtel's voice was displayed
in his rapid transitions, and its rich quality
was equally impressive in the delicate fal
setto passages, in the pure and even notes of
the mezzo parts, and in the wonderful bril
liancy of his chest tones, which, with the
depth and strength of a baritone, were car-
ried up to the high C with matchless fullness,
and held with apparent ease. The celebrated
solo, " Di quella pira," was given with un-
surpassed spirit, and was fully supplemented
by his dramatic acting. Madame Inez
Fabbri as "Leonora," added to her lyric
successes, and her voice and manner were
highly etfective. We regret to say that Mr.
Jacob Mueller as "Count di Luna," failed
to do himself justice, that Madame Frank-
enberg was not sufficiently forcible as
" Azucena," and that the chorus was weak ;
but the orchestra was so superior as to partly
atone for these deficiencies.

The Mugcnots was given on the 24th ult.,
with Mr. Wachtel as " Raoiil," and this
opera was rendered with much greater fiiii,sh

than 11 Trnvatore. This ver.satile tenor was
even more clear and sparkling in the chest
tones than before, and hi.s acting was more
earnest and intense ; and in the fourth act,
in the scene with Valentino, he reached the
climax of his vocalization, and was greeted
with an enthusiastic double recall. Mme.
Fabbri as " Valentine," sang witli a glowing
intonation that charmed the audience. Mr.
Karl Formes made an admirable " Marcel,"
and thi.s character gave him a rare opportu-
nity for vigorous acting. Mr. Mueller as
" Count de Nevers," fully retrieved his
prestige, and Mr. Lafontaine was an effective
" St. Bris." Miss Anna Elzer, though show-
ing traces of her recent illness, was a capti-
vating "Urbain." Miss Bertha Roemer as
" Marguerite," sang in pleasing style, bu»
often flat, and her voice lacked the requisite
power. The famous Rataplan chorus, ably
led by Mr Theodore Habelmann, was
sung with energy.

On the 27th ult., Stradella was produced
with Mr. Wachtel in the title-role, Madame
Fabbri as "Leonora," and Messrs. Habel-
mann and Formes as the brigands. In the
second act, Mr. Wachtel gave the difficult
aria with a splendor that won a tumultous
encore. Mr. Habelmann .sang superbly
and Jlr. Formes was in fine voice, while
Mme. Fabbri was all that could be desired ;
and the representation was uncommonly
even and satisfactory.

Flotow's fascinating opera, ifaitha. was
given on the 29th ult., and the scenery and
stage effects, always lavishly provided, were
actually above the usual mark. The ballet
scene eclipsed everything of this description
we have observed on this coast, and the
three leading participants were loudly ap-
plauded. The charming music gave Mr.
Wachtel, as " Lionel" a fine occasion to dis-
play his genius as a lyric artist, and he sang
with that genuine feeling which can only
spring from a noble soul. His "M'Appari,"
and other parts were dramatic masterpieces,
and the passages demanding great vocal
power were magnificently rendered. That
immortal air, " The Last Rose of Summer,"
was sung with such tenderness by Madame
Fabbri, as to win all hearts. Her refined
acting in the title-role was equal to her pure
vocalization, and her talent was never more
conspicuous. Miss Anna Elzer is remark-
ably well adapted to the piquant character
of " Nancy," in which her vocal capacity
was strikingly displayed. Mr. Mueller
made a superior " Plunkett," especially in
the drinking song, of the tliird act, where he
was wcU-sustaincd by the chorus ; and Mr.
Forti was a most obsequious "Tristram."

On the 3d, 5th, and "tli of the present
month, Mr. Theodor Wachtel appeared as
"Chapelon," in The Postillion de Loiijiimcau,
and we have only space to say that tlio geni-
us of the comedian was di-splayed equally
with his grand vocal power, tliat he achieved
his greatest triumph, and that his famous

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Since our last Issue, there has been much
discussion over the appropriation of the
school funds of this city, and the daily press
has teemed with articles upon the subject. It
appears that about 8140,000 have been ex-
pended for new buildings since July 1, 187.5,
which has caused a deficiency in the funds
from which the teachers' salaries are paid.
A statement was recently made in the Board
of Education, by one of the members, that
only nineteen per cent, of the amount raised
by taxation in this city, is applied to the
public schools ; and experience has shown
that this is only sufficient to provide for
running expenses.

It is a fact overlooked by many, that the
population of our city is rapidly increasing,
and that in order to accommodate the chil-
dren, new school-houses must every year be
erected, or rooms rented for that purpose.
The practice of renting buildings for public
uses has proved extravagant in the highest
degree ; and in most instances, they are ex-
tremely ill-adapted to the purposes desired.
While assisting in the musical examination
last May, we had occasion to visit every
public school in this city, and nowhere did
we observe any luxurious appointments to
the school buildings, which are mostly plain,
commodious and substantial. The only
exceptions to this rule are a very few of the
oldest buildings, and the rented rooms, for
which new school - houses ought to be sub-
stituted.

The obvious remedy for this financial
dilemma is legislative action which shall
reserve the present school fund entirely for
ordinary expenditures, and impose an addi-
tional tax for the erection of new buildings.
If the proportion of our taxation for school
purposes, were increased ten per cent., it
would be no more than the welfare of our
childi-en justly demands. Every dollar ex-
pended for the education of our children
saves ten dollars of outlay for police, jails
and prisons. In both a moral and govern-
mental aspect, the thorough education of our
youth is a matter of duty and \ital necessity ;
and in this particular, the experience of
Germany is of immense value to the Ameri-
can nation, and should be carefully heeded.

The proposal to reduce the salaries of
teachers is discreditable. It is well known
that the teachers receive moderate compen-
sation, and it is universally admitted that
their calling demands the best talent in our
country. If their salaries are diminished,
the effect will be to drive out of the profes-
sion its ablest members, and bring disaster
to our educational system. Another plan is
to close the evening schools. These afford
most valuable instruction to those who can-
not attend during the day, and ought cer-
tainly to be sustained.

Another proposition Ls to discontinue the
teaching of music, drawing, French and
German. Out of five hundred teachers,
there are onl3' six special teachers of music
and five of drawing ; and one each of French
and of German, in a few of the largest
scliools. The amount paid these teachers is
verj^ small in proportion to the total disburse-
ment, and if they were discharged, and all
that enlarges the capacity and elevates the
sentiments of the pupils were excluded, the
standard of education would be so much
lowered as to bring the public schools into
disrepute, and greatly impair their useful-
ness.

A true education consists not merely in
the retention of facts, but the development
of innate powers ; and the culture of the
superior faculties is of as positive utility to
pnpils. as is the ability to read and write.
The narrow policy of our ancestors in so
restricting the studies pursued, as to
impel persons, of even moderate means, to
educate their children in private schools,
proved prolific of evil, and our advancing
civilization has greatly extended the scope of
instruction ; yet there are selfish reactionists
who are opposed to the progress of the
working classes in all that tends to ennoble
and beautify life, and who, on the pretence
of economy, advocate a return to merely
rudimental teaching.

It is the universal testimony of principals
and teachers, that vocal music is an essential
aid to discipline, which, instead of mentally
crowding the scholars, is a positive diversion,
and inspires them with an interest in all
other studies ; and that it is of no less practi-
cal advantage than the primary branches.

We are glad to observe that our Board of
Education has not heeded the clamor against
the so-cailed ornamental branches, but has
protested against the proposed restrictive
legislation at Sacramento. An economy
that will stop all leakages, and maintain the
present legitimate expenditures of the school
department, wUl satisfy the large majority
of our citizens, who have really very little
cause for complaint with its financial admin-
istration.

DENMAN AND LINCOLN GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

On the 25th ult., a very pleasant event
transpired — a visit of eighty of the pu-
pils of the Denman Grammar School, to
the Lincoln Grammar School. The music
in the former is under the sjjecial charge of
Prof. W. Elliot, and these young ladies of
the first, second and third grades, compose
two volunteer singing societies, named re-
spectively "Oriental" and "Occidental,"
and include the best musical talent in that
celebrated school. On this occasion they
were accompanied by their principal, Prof.
John Swett, and took seats on the platform,
while the five hundred boys of the same
grades of the Lincoln occupied the center of
the large hall of the latter school, and the
numerous visitors were seated near them.
The principal of the Lincoln, Prof. James
K. Wilson, directed the exercises, and the
several classes were in charge of their re-
spective teachers, Mr. W. A. Robertson. Mr.
C. H. Ham, Mrs. M. J. Sankey, Miss M.
Haswell, Miss J. A. Forbes, Mrs. M. A.
Colby, Miss S. A. Rightmire, Mrs. 0. A.
Anderson, and Miss N . Stevens.

An humorous dialogue was spoken by
Geo. O. Hobe, and Charles Cooper, and re-
citations were given by Moses Grossman,
Othello Pratt, John R. Keefe, Willie E. Con-
nor, Wallace Gillpatrick, Willie Rickards,
Mackie Polk, Willie Lindenberger and Har-
ry Elmer. These recitations were given in
spirited style, adapted in each case to the
sentiment of tlie piece, and indicated an elo-
cutionary training quite rare for the public
schools. The boys were nearly equal in the
native talent displayed, but the three first-
named seemed to us in advance of the others
in culture.

The Denman girls sang the follo^ving
songs in two parts: " Murmuring Sea,"
" The Convent Bells," " The Gushing RUl,"
Gondolier's Song," and "Strike for the
Cause of Freedom." The beautiful modu-
lation and uniform accuracy of these young
ladies have rarely been equaled in our public
schools, and the audience were delighted
with their efforts. The Lincoln boys gave
the following quartettes: " Hail our Pleasant
School," "Hearts and Homes," "Star-
Spangled Banner," and "Jolly Boys," the
last a song with words suited to the school.
Notwithstanding the immense volume of
sound, their intonation was remarkably free
from the shrillness with which boys com-
monly sing, and the fine expression in each
piece was as conspicuous as their exact time.
We have never heard classes of boys sing
better, and seldom as well ; and they have
evidently received a thorough vocal training
from their special music teacher, Prof. W.
E. Price, who conducted the singing on this
occasion, and also from their class-teachers.

A marlied feature of the exercises were
the songs, " With Merry Hearts," and "New
Year's Chimes," given by forty boys, taken
in equal numbers from the third grades of

Sherman Sj Hyde's yAusicAL j^i

Mrs. M. A. Colby and Miss S. A. Rightmire.
These boys, selected with especial reference
to their musical ability, sang with such bril-
liancy and precision as to surprise the list-
eners. " A'aleclictory Echo," was given by
twenty boys of Mrs. Colby's class, and " The
Lane that led to School," by ten boys of
Miss Rightmire's class ; and these were
rendered with earnest feeling. The .song,
" Two on Earth and Two in Heaven," and
the patriotic air " America," were given by
the pupils of both schools, the latter with
unusual spirit; and the programme closed
with " Auld Lang Syuc," and Home, Sweet
Home," impressively sung by the young
ladies. The interested audience, including
several members of the present and former
Boards of Education, testified their enjoy-
ment by repeated applause.

MLLE. JENNY CLAUS.

As we go to press, we have only room for
a brief notice of this celebrated violinist,
who made her first appearance on the 8th
inst., in Piatt's Hall, at Ilerofd's Orchestral
Matiiuw. Since Mens. TCmile Sauret was
here last Summer, we have heard nothing
on the violin at all comparable with the
exquisite plaj"ing of this gifted artiste. In
Mendelssohn's Grand Violin Concerto, her
execution was so brilliant as to elicit an
overwhelming encore, and she responded in
the delicious " Berceuse" by Reber, in
which she excelled her previous effort.
We hope Miss Clans will favor our citizens
with additional performances.

MISS MINNIE READE.

This talented lady, known in theatrical
circles as Eda Mirani, and to whom we have
heretofore referred, made her first appear-
ance before a Constantinople audience at
the Teatro Concordia, on the 2d December,
as *' Oscar," in the opera of Un Hello in
Maschera, and on two subsequent evenings
in the title-role in Linda di Chamounix. In
these representations she met with most
complete success, and was recalled with en-
thusiasm. From an article in the Revue
Theatrale, of that city, dated Dec. 11th, we
extract the following notice of her second
appearance in the opera last-named: " Last
evening every one was at the Concordia to
see the second representation of Linda di
Chamounix. Mme. Eda Mirani acquitted
herself with even better success than on the
first occasion. This prima donna sings in a
charming manner. In the second act, the
duet " AUar ch'io passo ;" the duet, " Ah !
Vaune," and the scene of madness, all
require a highly developed dramatic senti-
ment in the artiste, and at the same time
great flexibility of voice ; and they were ex-
quisitely rendered. At the conclusion, she
was thrice recalled and presented with
boquets."

Such golden opinions from competent
critics, won by an American artiste in Euro-
pean musical circles, are a source of pride and
gratification, not only to this lady's personal
friends, but to every American interested in
operatic culture.

THE SCHOOL DIFFICULTY.

As we go to press, we learn that the Board
of Education has resolved to close the public
schools from the 30th April until the tith of
July. This cannot well be avoided, unless
the Legislature will impose an additional
school tax, or will permit the Board either to
issue temporary bonds, or to anticipate the
revenues of the next fiscal year.

GERMAN FOUR -PART SONGS.

A book with the above title, by N. H.
Allen, has recently been published by
Oliver Ditson A; Co., Boston. Price, §1.-50.
An examination of its contents has very
favorably impressed us with the merits of
the compositions selected, which are distin-
guished by the peculiar spiritual beauty of
the older German glees, without that tinge
of melancholy, which is conceded to be a
defect. We regard this book as very well
suited to the practice of musical societies,
since it fills a niche between the oratorio
and the ordinary easy compositions. Among
the compo-sers are Schumann, Gade, Abt,
Franz, Hauptmann and Hiller, while the
words are selected from such distinguished |
authors as Goethe, Uhland, Hoffmann and
Rueckhart. The music is all of a high
character, yet cheerful, and some of it fas-
cinating ; and we commend it to the atten-
tion of the lovers of music on this coast.

A VOICE FROM THE HUB.

The Suffolk county Journal, of Boston, in
an article headed "Battle of the Pianos,"
says: "In attacks on Mr. Weber, the
editor of the Music Trade Review has
found a man who is more than his match
with the sharp pen, as well as one whose
reputation is far above the reach of his
abuse. It is true, that in the exciting eon-
test among the piano makers which has been
of late raging in Xevv York, Mr. Weber does
not harmonize in his ideas with Stein way,
Chickering and other piano makers of high
reputation. And he gives good reasons for
this. He is naturally a very independent
man, and believes in fighting his own bat-
tles, whether, as he expresses it, "it is
against bogus piano makers or bogus news-
paper business." He knows that his repu-
tation for being one of the smartest and most
successful piano makers is known in all the
country, and that his pianos can be relied
upon every time, like his word when once
passed. In the present controversy, Mr.
Weber took his position on independent
ground from the first, and there he stands;
and all the ridicule of his enemies, and their
attempt.'j to turn their weapons against him
to his injury, have i>roved, and will coutm-
ue to prove, miserable failures."

FABBRI OPERA COMPANY.

Since our last issue, and before the arrival
of the celebrated Thoodor Waclitel, the Fab-
bri Opera Company gave, on the 0th ,ult.,
Mehul's Joneph in Egypt, and on the 13th,
L'A/ricaijie. The former \yas originally
produced as an oratorio, and has been finely
transformed into an opera. The cast in-
cluded Mr. Theodore Habelmann as Joseph,
Mr. Jacob Mueller as Jacob, Madame Inez
Fabbrias Benjamin, Mr. Lafontaine as Reu-
ben, and Mr. Pliueger as Simeon. The three
first-named artists gave in the second act a
delicious trio, and in the third act, Mr.
Mueller's solo, and his duet with Madame
Fabbri, were deservedly encored; while Mr.
Habelmann's solo and commanding person-
ations were equallj- meritorious, and were
applauded. The scenery and costumes were
excellent, but the chorus was spiritless.

L' Africaine'wafi presented more effectively
than the opera first-named, and the chorus
was much better. An elaborate ballet-scene
was introduced in the fourth act, which was
particularly appropriate to this opera; and the
ship-scene was a novelty. Madame Fabbri
as Selika, Mr. Habelmann as Va.sco de
Gama, and Mr. Mueller as Nelnsko, were
the three leading characters ; with Messrs.
Karl Formes, Lafontaine, and Forti, and
Miss Bertha Roemer in the subordinate
parts. The second, third and fourth acts
gave the three principal artists excellent
opportunities to display their talent, which
were well improved. But Mr. Mueller's
vigorous intonations and spirited acting
entitled him to the leading honors, until
the impassioned-love scene between Selika
and Vasco, near the close of the fourth act,
which was a brilliant personation.

Dear RE^aEw. — I had the pleasure, re-
cently, of visiting the college of Notre Dame,
at San Jose, and was surprised at the size
and facilities for education which this institu-
tion affords. It was founded in 1851, and is
under the direction of the sisters of Notre
Dame, who are highly educated, and well
calculated to instill into the minds of the
young ladies under their instruction those
virtues which fit them to be the future orna-
ments of society. Although under the pro-
tection of the catholic church, there is no
interference with the religious principles of
those who have been differently instructed,
and it is a pleasure to see how much the
sisters are beloved by the pupils. The build-
ings are surrounded by beautiful and ex-
tensive play grounds, which the pupils are
encouraged to occupy and improve during
recreation hours. There are at present in
the school about 450 pupils from the differ-
ent States and Territories of this coast, and
all the affair.s connected with the college
seem to be in a most flourishing condition.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Apollo Glee Society Concert. — At the
Howard-St. M. E. Chun-h, on the 22cl iilt.,
a concert was given by the Apollo Glee
Society. This association comprises about
fifty young ladies and gentlemen, all
amateurs, who have been instructed for
months past in vocal music, chiefly operatic'
selections, by Prof. Washington Elliot, the
successful principal of music in the public
schools, and leader of the choir in the church
above-named. The following choruses were
given : " Hail to thee. Liberty," from .S'emj-
ramide; "When the Morning Sweetly
Breaking," from L'ltaliana in Algieri ; "O
Hail us, ye Free," trom Ernani ; "Softly
Treading, from 11 Oi-ociato ; the phantom
chorus, "When Daylight is Going," from
La Somnambula ; and "Crowned with the
Tempest," from Ernani, the latter with a
fine solo by Mr. Cutting. The vigor, and
precision with which these choruses were
rendered, were an agreeable surprise to the
large audience, who were enthusiastic in
their applause. The two choruses last-named
were remarkably well executed, and in the
Phantom Chorus, Miss Amelia I. Block gave
a cadenza, and Miss S. A. Rightmire, a solo,
which were especially good.

Miss Block sang Millard's popular song,
" Darling," with such brilliant expression as
to win an ardent encore, and no number on
the programme surpassed it. Misses Irish and
Rightmire gave the duet, "Hear nieNorma,"
in a manner that would have done credit to
professionals. Miss Irish has a sympathetic
soprano voice, and Miss Rightmire a rich
contralto, both worthy of superior culture.
The duet was deservedly encored, as was
also "the quartette, " Sweet and Low," by
these ladies, and Messrs. Warner and Car-
penter, with clarionet obligate by Mr. Robin-
son. This lullaby song of Tennyson has
become immortal, and while the music ren-
dered was by Perkins, the original music for
these words was composed by Wm. Vincent
Wallace. The songs, " The Quiet Moon is
Beaming," by Miss Winall, and "The
Mountain Maid," by Miss Estelle Nichols,
each with clarionet obligato, were rendered
far better than the usual achievements of
amateurs, and they also were encored. The
duet, " See the Pale Moon," by Miss Right-
mire and Mr. Warner, and the quartette,
" Eulalie," by Messrs. Warner, Smith, Pen-
lington and Carpenter, were very creditably
given. The piano accompaniments were ex-
cellently played by Prof. Martin Schultz,
and the concert was alily conducted by Prof.
Elliot. The public will look with interest to
future concerts by these amateurs, whose
first appearance has been such a marked
success.

Special attention paid to printing tickets
and programmes for musical entertainments,

Prof. Scott's Musical Soiree.— Another
of the elegant musical soirees for which
Prof. Gustav A. Scott is noted, occurred on
the 21st ult., at his residence. No. 428 Eddy
street, and mainly comprised the perform-
ances of his pupils, who, although seldom ap-
pearing in public, are far advanced in mus-
ical culture. On this occasion, the enter-
tainment was decidedly superior to the
majority of public concerts. Prof. Scott's
Weber, Grand and Square, pianos were in
requisition, and the opening overture,
"Zampa,"by Herold, was brilliantly exe-
cuted by Misses Kate Sinclair, Florence
Hillyer, Belle Greenberg, and Carrie Meyer.
The delicious harmonies of /. Puritani were
finely interpreted by Miss Mayer and Mr.
Sam. Fabian. Von Weber's concerto in F,
and dementi's senate in C, both very diffi-
cult compositions, were rendered, the former
by Mr. Fabian and the latter by Miss Sin-
clair; and in a finished style worthy of
professionals.

The piano solo, " Silverspring" by Mason,
a complicated piece with rapid movements,
was given by Miss Eugenie Rosenheim with
beautiful expression and in correct time.
A duo " Don Juan," by Miss Greenberg and
Mr. Fabian, and Gottschalk's "Last Hope,"
by Jliss Hillyer, were each superbly played,
and Prof. Rosenstein favored the audience
\vith a cornet solo in his best style. The
" Kinder Symphonie," under the direction
of Miss Hillyer, was an agreeable diversion.
It comprised a "Fairy Orchestra," with a
variety of juvenile instruments, and the
addition of flute, violin and piano, and was
most successfully presented.

The vocal numbers of the programme,
though less numerous, were equally meri-
torious. Mrs. Moore, the leading soprano
at St. John's Presbyterian Church, was in
fine voice, and sang two solos with superior
intonation ; and a duet from Rossini, was
admirably rendered by Miss Greenberg and
Mr. Joseph Maguire. The popular quar-
tette, "Good Night Beloved," was sung
with feeling, by Misses C. E. Raymond and
F. Hillyer and Messrs. Joseph Maguire and
Cornelius Makin, and was one of the features
of the evening. The programme closed with
Ascher's enlivening "Sleighbell Mazourka,"
on two pianos, by Misses C. Meyer and
Rachel Simon, and Messrs. S. Fabian and
Mark Meyer, accompanied with sleighbells,
and was suggestive of Eastern winters and
joyous sleighrides.

Th e soiree was distinguished by the uni
form excellence with which every number
of the programme was executed, and if Prof.
Scott had given it as a concert, in Piatt's
Hall, to a crowded house, the performance
would undoubtedly have received as enthu-
siastic applause as was given by the invited
assemblage. The guests were regaled with
a sumptuous repast, and an hour was de-
lightfully spent in dancing and conversa-
tion.

^ Mrs. Fabian's Musical Soiree.— On the
2fith ult., an agreeable musical entertain-
ment was given by Mrs. M. Fabian, at her
residence. No. 605 Taylor street, consisting
mainly of piano solos, duets and trios, by
her pupils, who are young ladies from ten
to fifteen years of age. Martha was played
by Miss Annie Phillips, The Bohemian Girl
by Miss Phcebe Dobzinsky, and Norma by
Miss Kate O'Brien ; and the three gave as a
trio, "White Rose Polka." The execution
of these young ladies is unusually sparkling
for pupils of their experience, and is
worthy of older pianists. Other pieces were
rendered as follows : duet. La Traviata, by
Misses Annie Davis and Rebecca Funkeii-
stein; duet, "Soiree Polka," by Misses
Bella and Addie Aaron ; solo, " Scheiden
Waltz," by Miss Annie Ayras; solo, Robert
le Diable, by Miss Jennie Cohen. These latter
pupils have had from three to six months
practice only, but displayed a vei7 creditable
proficiency, which evinced faithful instruc-
tion. Miss Funkenstein's playing was
particularly graceful and effective on the
new Weber piano.

The remaining numbers on the pro-
gramme, we have not space to notice. At
the conclusion, Mr. S. Fabian, the distin-
guished young pianist, was called for, and
responded with a brilliant rendering of
Norma by Jaell ; and Miss May Davis and
Mr. Fabian favored the company with an
excellent vocal duet, "The Larboard AVatch."
A collation was served to the appreciative
audience, which was followed by dancing
and social cheer ; and the soiree was equally
enjoyed by the participants and the invited
guests.

Herold's Orchestral Matinees The

first two concerts of the fifth series,
were given on the 23d ult., and the 1st
nst. The programme on the latter date
comprised Neumann's march, " Waidman-
slust," Abert's sj-mphony, "Columbus,"
Spindler's "TrotdeCavalier," Mendelssohn's
overture, " Athalie," Adam's overture, " Le
Roi d'Yvetot," and Eisner's French Horn
Solo. The three last-named pieces excelled
the others, both in melody and execution,
and their rich harmonies were deliciously
interpreted. The flute and flageolet were
exceptionally well-played in the overtures,
in which the arrangement made them con-
spicuous.

The solo for French horn was rendered so
sweetly by Mr. Ernest Schlott, and the
orchestra sustained him so etfectively, that
the audience were enthusiastic in their
plaudits. Several pieces have lately been
introduced, for the first time, at these
matinees, and the conductor, Mr. R. Herold,
is indefatigable in his eftbrts to satisfy the
demands of the San Francisco public, who
appreciate superior instrumentation not less
than that of Eastern cities. Mr. Charles
Sehultz is the successful business man-
ager.

Sherman & Hyde's Musical Review.

PnoF. A. WnxiAMS' Musical Soirke

Tho third Soiree Musioale of the so-called
American Conservatory of Music, took place
on Tuesday evening, 29th uU., and tho
musiu rooms wore well filled with apprecia-
tive patrons. We refrain from critiuizinp
each of the thirteen numbers upon the pro-
grnnimc, because the pupils simply exhibited
the moderation of their abilities and the
method of instruction. The violinist, how-
ever, young Louis Ritzau, certainly shows a
marked talent for the violin, and if he had
real earnest discipline, he would acquire a
more correct manner of bow^ng, and a truer
tone. The audience were favored with an
interesting address by Mr. Williams — sub-
ject, Beethoven. He excels as a lecturer,
far more than as a singer. But, the gem of
the evening was the performance of the
celebrated Moonlight Souate,by Mnie. Sophie
T. Richardt. It was perfectly evident that she
had made the piece a study, for she showed
not only a mechanical mastery of its dlfll-
cultios, but a mental and soul-like concep-
tion of its beauties. The world will alwa3-s
contend regarding the different movements,
and what Beethoven meant them to signify ;
and each musician must, in our opinion,
work out the mysterious secret for himself.
Mme. Kichardt has done this wonderfully
well. She has a i-arely strong touch upon
the piano, and a style acquired under the
able teachers of the conservatory in Copen-
hagen. She is also enthusiastic as well as
conscientious, and the pupils of this school
would do well if they emulated her industry.
We are glad to hear she is meeting with so
much success as a teacher.

Children's Masquerade. — In commem-
oration of St. Valentine, a Children's Con-
cert, Fancy Dress Ball and Masquerade was
given on the ISth ult., at the Mechanics'
Pavilion. The attendance was very large,
nearly all the desirable seats having been
sold in advance. The Pavilion was hand-
somely decorated with the colors of the
various nations, the stars and stripes pre-
dominant, under the direction of the mana-
ger, Mr. .\rmand Barbier. Signor and Sig-
nora Bianchi, each sang operatic airs with
good eft'eet, the Hanoverian Brass Band
played a fine overture, and the graceful little
Darling sisters gave some captivating dances.

Three hundred and fifty children, from
three to sixteen years of age, led by tlif
band, jiarticipated In the giand march.
Several elegant cars and miniature chariots
drawn by goats and dogs, contained children
in elegant attire ; and tlie little old woman
who lived in a shoe, with her numerous
family, were finely presented. An immense
variety of costumes was displayed, some
distinguished for richness, and others for
oddity. Many historical personages were
represented, in picturesque stj'le ; and the
children seemed intuitively to understand
how to act the respective characters assumed

in a fresh and spontaneous manner. Ten
dances wore given, in which tho boys and
girls gayly joined. The constantly chang-
ing scene was most fascinating, and the
audience was charmingly entertained.

At the conclusion of the dancing, a sere-
nade was given by the musicians to Mr.
Thomas W. Jennison, the Grand Marshal,
aiul a banquet followed, over which Mr.
Armand Barljier presided. Messrs Alex.
Badlam, D. A. Macdonald and Colin M.
Boyd, who acted as the committee, awarded
prizes to the best sustained characters on
the floor, as follows: 1st, Willie Mitchell,
10 years, "Marquis de Rouen;" 2d, Sarah
White, " News Letter ;" 3d, Walter Mitchell,
eight years, " Marchioness de Rouen ;" 4th,
Mamie Short, ten years, "Snowflake;" 5th,
Martha Harris, six years, " Little Barefoot;"
6th, Rachel Jones, nine years, "St. Valen-
tine;" 7th, "Stage Struck;" 8th, Katie S.
Walker, "Red Riding Hood;" 9th, Mamie
Richmond, "Cupid;" 10th, Miss Leight,
" Morning Call."

Miss Buckle's Concert. — A subscription
concert was given on the 2Sth ult., at Pacific
Hall, by Miss Buckle, with able assistance.
This estimable lady appeared in four num-
bers of the programme, comprising the song
" Robin Adair," a duet from Don Giovanni,
with Mr. Karl Foiiues, a recitative and aria
by Mozart, and Gounod's "Ave Maria,"
with violin obligato by Mr. Robert Uhlig.
The last two numbers were, in our judgment,
much better rendered than the others.
Miss Buckle has a sweet, sympathetic voice
and agreeable manner, and excels in phras-
ing, but requires further culture to do justice
to the/o7'i€ passages. Mr. Karl Formes was
in fine voice, e.specially in the lower register,
and sang an aria from Mozart's Magic Flute
and a ballad by Holzer, with unusual pow-
er and feeling. Mr. Theodore Habelmann
gave the song, " Fesca," with the melodious
intonation for which he is distinguished in
the opera.

Mr. Samuel Fabian, the talented young
pianist, played two solos, including Men-
delssohn's " Rondo Capriccioso," and an
encore piece, in a sparkling style that cap-
tivated the listeners Mr. Robert Uhlig gave
a violin solo, " La Melancholic Pastorale,"
with a delicacy and richness of expression
that surpassed all previous etforts. Senor
M. Y. Ferrer played a delicious guitar solo,
which was raptuously encored. A concert
enlisting such superior talent deserved a
crowded house ; but we regret to say that
Miss Buckle was greeted by a small though
appreciative audience.

Apollo Social. — At XTnion Hall on the
25th ult., a concert and ball was given by
the Apollo Social, on the occasion of their
tenth anniversaiy, which was largely at-
tended. Ballcnberg's orchestra gave the
opening and closing pieces, tho former an
overture, " Poet and Peasant," tlic latter a
Potpourre of popular airs, and both were

superbly played. Mr. Ernest .Schlott gave a
French horn solo in his usual good style,
and Mr. Cornelius Makin a fine baritone
solo. Tlio Apollo's double quartette accept-
ably rendered two glees, "Spring's Delights"
and ' Banish Oh Maiden." Messrs. Henry
Niemann and William Stelling gave the duet
" Larboard Watch," with spirit, and the
former a comics song. Mr. J. H. Thomson
agreeably sang " Nil Desperandum." But
the vocal features of the evening were two
songs, " Queen of the Night," and " D.arling
Little Jessie," given by Mr. Philip Jones,
which won enthusiastic encores. The piano
accompaniment was played bj' Mr. James
A. Kerr, the composer of the piece last
named. At the close of the concert, dancing
commenced, and the party was most enjoj'-
able.

Mh. Nat. Cohen's Concert. — At Da&haway Hall, on
tho Cth inst., a complimentary concert was given to Mr-
Nat. Cohen, the well-known youn{j tenor, by his many
fritods. The beneficiary gave the song, "I'm ifluat,"
and a character song, each in excellent style, and was
warmly encored. Mr. Cornelius Makin superbly ren-
dered the aria from Mozart, " Who Treads the Path of
Duty." Miss Allie McCabe gave the song. " Love's Re-
quest," acceptably. This lady has a good soprano voice,
worthy of further cultivation. Prof. Livingstone's
comic recitations convulsed the audience with laughter.
Messrs. Chas. S. and Hermann Hoffmann gave two
piano duets " 11 Trovatore" and " Fascination Galop,"
on the Weber piano, with uncomuion beauty of execu-
tion, and the latt^-r rendered the piano solo " Taren-
telle," in superior style. "II Trovatore" has rarely been
played as well, and was one of the features of the
evening. The foregoing iierformers, and Misses
Noka McCabe and Annie Jansen, gave several other
pieces, which we have not space to mention. The
audience was appreciative, and obtained encores to
most of the niunbers on the programme. We learn that
Mr. Cohen will shortly leave for Europe, to complete
his musical studies, and we wish him every success in
his worthy undertaking.

. CORRESPONDENCE.

[ We have received the following pleasant
note from one of our lady customers in the
mountains, expressing her appreciation of a
Weber piano received. — Ed. Review.]

Above the Clouds, Feb. 25, 1870.

Dear Review. — Your foreign corres-
pondent salutes you, and in true Yankee
style proceeds to propound a question.
What would you do if j'ou were so high up
in the world that you were in danger of
getting moon - struck, or of bumping your
head against the stars ? Get a contract for
music of the spheres, or form a co-part-
nership with the benignant man in the moon.
I do not find anything here that is satisfac-
tory, excepting a superb Weber piano from
Messrs Sherman & Hvdo — that is pre-
eminently so. How it ever reached tliis
pinnacle is a mystery beyond my compre-
hension. I think it luu.st have taken wings
for heaven, or else that enterprising firm has
a contract for furnishing the sun, moon and
stars with their incomparable instruments,
and has chartered a comet or two to deliver
them ; any wav, it is my chief happiness, at
present, and I take this opportunity of ex-
pressing my approbation of it. This is .ill I
have to wi-ile. I miss tho Review and hope
you will forward it by the next heaven
bound messenger. Stella.

THE CENTENNIAL BUILDINGS.

We give in this issue
of the Review excellent
pictures of the main
buildings of the Centen-
ninal Exh'bition, now
nearlycompletedin Fair-
mount Park, Philadel-
phia. The main exhi-
bition building is in the
form of a parallelogram,
extending east and west
i,S8o feet in length, and
north and south 464 feet
in width. The larger
portion of the structure
is one story in height, and
shows the main cornice

upon the outside at' 45
feet above the ground
the interior height being
70 feet. At the center
of the longer sides are
projections 416 feet in
length, and in the center
of the shorter sides or
ends of the building are
projections 216 feet in
length. In these pro-
jections, in the center
of the four sides, are
located the main en-
trances, which are pro-
vided with arcades upon
the ground floor, and

central facades extending to the height of 90 feet. Upon the corner of the building there are four towers 7 5 feet in height, and between the
towers and the central projections or entrances, there is a lower roof introduced showing a cornice at 24 feet above the ground. The
areas covered by this building are 936,008 square feet, or over twenty-one acres. The ground floor alone gives an area of 872,320
square feet, or over twenty-one acres. The ground floor alone gives an area of 872,320 square feet or twenty acres. Lengthwise of the
building iron columns are spaced at the uniform distance apart of twenty-four feet. In the entire structure there are 672 columns, the
shortest being 23 feet and the longest 125 feet in length. The aggregate weight is 2,200,000 pounds. The departments of the classifica-
tion will be placed in parallel sections running lengthwise of the building, from east to west, and will be wider or narrower in proportion
to the bulk of the articles exhibited. The countries exhibiting will be located geographically, in sections running crosswise of the
building, from the north to the south.

THE FINE ART GALLERY.

The Art Gallery, which
is one of the affixes to
the great exhibition, is
located on a line paral-
lel with and northward
of the main exhibition
building. It is on the
most commanding por-
tion of great Lansdowne
Plateau, looks southward
over the city, and is ele-
vated on a terrace six
feet above the general
level of the plateau — the
plateau itself being an
eminence 1 16 feet above
the surface of the Schuyl-
kill river. The entire
structure is in the mod-
ern Renaissance. The

with protecting hands. A figure of colossal size stands at each corner of the base of the dome. The figures typify the four quarters of
the globe. The main entrance opens on a hall 82 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 53 feet high, decorated in the modern Renaissance style ;
on the farther side of this hall three doorways, each 16 feet wide and 25 feet Kigh, open into the center hall, which is S3 feet square, the

These open north and south into private apartments which connect with the pavilion rooms, forming two side galleries 210 feet long.

Along the whole length of the north side of the main galleries and central hall extends a corridor i+feet wide, which opens on its north
line into a series of private rooms, thirteen in number, designed for studies and smaller exhibition rooms.

main hall, 360 feet wide
1,402 feet long, and an
annex on the south side
of 208 feet by 210 feet.
The entire area covered
by the main hall and
annex is 558,440 square
feet, or 1 2.82 acres. In-
cluding the upper floors
the building provides 14
acres of floor space.
The principal part of
the struciure is one story
in height, showing the
main cornice upon the
outside at forty feet from
the ground, the interior-

height to the top of the ventilators in the avenues being seventy feet and in the aisles forty feet. To break the long lines upon the exte-
rior, projections have been introduced upon the four sides, and the main entrances finished with facades, extending to 78 feet in height.
The east entrance will form the principal approach from the street cars, from the main exhibition building, and from the railroad depot.
Along the south side will be placed the boiler houses and such other buildin^,'s for special kinds of machinery as may be required. The
west entrance affords the most direct communication with George's Hill, which point affords the best view of the entire Exhibition
grounds. The building admits of the most complete system of shafting, the facilities in this respect being very superior. Eight main
lines may be introduced, extending almost the entire length of the structure, and counter-shafts introduced into the aisles at any point.
The hangers will be attached either to wooded or horizontal ties of the sixty feet span roof trusses, or to brackets especially designed for
the purpose, projecting from the columns ; in either case at the height of twenty feet from the floor.

The machinery build-
ing is located at a dis-
tance of 542 feet from
the west front of the
main exhibition build-
ing. The north front of
the building will be up-
on the same line as that
of the main exhibition
building, thus present-
ing a frontage of 3,824
feet from the east to the
west ends of the exhi-
bition buildings upon
the principal avenue
within the grounds. The
building consists of the

The agricultural build-
ing will stand north of
the horticultural build-
ing. It will illustrate a
novel combination of
materials, and is capa-
ble of erection in a few
months. Its materials
are wood and glass. It
consists of a long nave
crossed by three tran-
septs, both nave and
transept being composed
of Howe truss-arches of
a Gothic form. The
nave is S20 feet in length
by 125 teet in width, with
a hight of 75 feet from

the floor to the point of
the arch. The central
transept is of the same
height, and a breadth of
too feet, and the two
end transept 70 feet high
and 80 feet wide. The
four courts enclosed be-
tween the nave and
transepts, and also the
four spaces at the cor-
ners of the building,
having the nave and
transepts for two of their
sides, will be roofed and
form valuable spaces
for exhibits. Thus the
ground plan of the build-

ing will be a parallelogram of 540 by 820 feet, covering a space of above ten acres. In its immediate vicinity will be the stock yards
forthe exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, etc. In addition to these four buildings there is a Horticultural Building, lo-
cated on the Lansdowne Terrace, a short distance north of the main building. The design is the Mauresque style of architecture of the
twelfth century, the principal articles being iron and glass. The length of the building is 383 feet, width 193 feet, and height to the top
of the lantern, 72 feet. The main floor is occupied by the central conservatory, 230 by 80 feet, and 55 feet high, surmounted by a lan-
tern 170 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 14 feet high. Running entirely around this conservatory, at a hight of 20 feet from the floor, is a
gallery 5 feet wide. On the north and south sides of this principal room are four forcing houses for the propagation of young plants,
each of them 100 by 30 feet, covered with curved roofs of iron and glass. Dividing the two forcing houses in each of these sides is a ves-
tibule 30 feet square. At the center of the east and west ends are similar vestibules, on either side of which are the restaurants, recep-
tion room, offices, etc. From the vestibules ornamental stairways lead to the internal galleries of the conservatory, as well as the four
external galleries, each 100 feet long and 10 feet wide, which surmount theroof of the forcing houses. These external galleries are con-
nected with a grand promenade, formed by the roofs of the rooms on the ground floor, which has a superficial area of 1,800 square
yards. The east and west ends are approached by flights of blue marble steps from terraces 80 by 20 feet, in the center of each of
which stands an open kiosque twenty feet in diameter. The angles of the main conservatory are adorned by eight ornamental foun-
tains. The corridors which connect the conservatory with the surrounding rooms open fine vistas in every direction. In the b.asement,
which is of fire-proof construction, are the kitchens, store rooms, coal houses, ash-pits, heating arrangements, etc.

These brief descriptions of the buildings will show the magnificent scale on which the Centennial Exhibition is projected, and
may assist in developing a feeling of patriotic pride and interest in the affair among the many thousands of Revii;w readers throughout
the West. The Exposition opens in May, and will continue until October, the price of admission being fifty cents.

YOUNG

MUSICIAN
MOTHER.

AND

HIS

The following passage in the life of an
English composer will thrill the heart of
many a mother :

Little Pierre sat humming by the bedside
of his mother. There was no bread in the
closet, and for the whole day he had not
tasted food. Yet he sat humming to keep
up his spirits. Still at times he thought of
his loneliness and hunger, and he could
scarcely keep the tears from his eyes, for he
knew nothing would be so grateful to his
poor invalid mother as a good sweet orange,
and yet he had not a penny in the world.
The little song he was singing was his own —
one he had composed with air and words,
for the child was a genius, and a fervent
worshipper at the shrine of music. As the
tears rolled down his cheeks and his voice
faltered at the sad, sad thoughts, he did not
dare to let his sick mother see ; hastily ris-
ing, he hurried to the window, and there
watched a man putting up a great bill with
yellow letters, announcing that Madame

M , then a favorite character, would

sing that night at the Temple.

"Oh! if I could only go, ".thought little
Pierre, and then pausing a moment, he
clapped his hands — his eyes lighted up with
unwonted fire — and rushing to the little
stand he smoothed down his yellow curls,
and taking from his little box some old,
stained paper, gave one eager look at his
mother, who slept, and ran speedily from
the house.

■' Who did you say was in waiting for

me," said Madame M , to her servant.

" I am already worn out with company."

"It is only a little boy with yellow curls,
who says if he can only see you he is sure
you won't be sorry, and he won't keep you a
moment."

" Oh, well, let him come," said the beau-
tiful singer with a smile. " I can never re-
fuse children."

Little Pierre came in, with his hat in his

hand, and in the other a roll of paper.
With a manliness unusual for a child he

walked straight to Madame M , and

bowing, said:

" I came to see you because my mother is
very sick, and we are too poor to get food
and medicine. I thought that perhaps if
you would only sing my little song at some
of your grand concerts, maybe some pub-
lisher would buy it for a small sum, and so
I could get food and medicine for my sick
mother."

The beautiful woman arose from her seat,
very tall and stately she was, she took the
little roll from his hand, and lightly hum-
med the air.

" Did you compose it?" she asked, "you,
a child? And the words? — wonderful ge-
nius ! Would you like to come to my con-
cert?" she asked after a few moments of
thought.

" Oh, yes," and the boy's blue eyes grew
liquid with happiness, "but I couldn't leave
my mother."

" I will send somebody to take care of
your mother for the evening, and here is a
crown, with which you go and get food and
medicine. Here is also one of my tickets;
come to-night ; that will admit you to a seat
near me ; my good little fellow, your mother
has a treasure in you.

Almost beside himself with joy, Pierre
bought some oranges, and many a little
luxury beside, and carried them home to
the poor invalid, telling her, not without
tears, of his good fortune.
* » * * » » »

Never in his life had Pierre been in such
a grand place. The music, clashing and
rolling ; the myriad lights, the beauty, the
flashing of diamonds and rustling of silks,
bewildered his eyes and brain. At last she
came — and the' child sat with his glance
riveted upon her glorious face. Could he
believe that the grand lady, all blazing with
jewels, and whom everybody seemed to
worship, would really sing his little song.
Breathless he waited ; the band, the whole
band, struck up a little plaintive melody, he
knew it, and clapped his hands for joy.
And oh, how she sang it! U was so simple,
so mournful, so soul-subduing, — many a
bright eye was dimmed with tears, and
naught could be heard but the touching
words of that little song — oh, how touching!
Pierre walked home as if he were moving
on the air. What cared he for money,
now? The greatest prima donna in all
Europe had sung his little song, and thou-
sands had wept at his grief.

The next day he was frightened at a visit

from Madame M . She laid her hands

on his yellow curls, and turning to the sick
woman, said:

" Your little boy, madame, has brought
you a fortune. I was offered this morning,

by one of the best publishers in London,
three hundred pounds for his little song;
and after he had realized a certain amount
for the sale, little Pierre, here, is to share
the profits. Madame, thank God that your
son has a gift from heaven."

The noble hearted singer and the poor
woman wept together. As to Pierre, always
mindful of Him who watches over the tried
and tempted, he knelt down over his moth-
er's bed-side, and uttered a simple but elo-
quent prayer, asking God's blesssing on the
kind lady who deigned to notice their
affliction. And the memory of that prayer
made the singer even more tender-hearted ;
and she who was the idol of England's no-
bility, like the world's great Master, went
about doing good. And in her early, hap-
py death, when the grave damps gathered
over her brow, and her eyes grew dim, he
who stands by her bed, his bright face
clothed in the mourning of sighs and tears,
and smoothed her pillow, and lightened her
last moments by his undying affection, was
the little Pierre of former days — now rich,
accomplished, and the most talented com-
poser of the day.

All honor to those great hearts, who, from
their high stations, send down bounty unto
the widow and fatherless child?

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.

The New York Sunday Age relates the ori-
gin of this famous ballad, written, it seems,
by Samuel B. Woodworth, when a journey-
man printer in an office situate at the corner
of Chatham and Chambers street. New York.
Near by, in Frankfort street, was a drinking
shop, kept by a man named Mallory, where
Woodworth and several particular friends
used to resort. One afternoon the liquor was
superexcellent, and Woodworth seemed in-
spired by it; for after taking a draught, he
set his glass upon the table, and, smacking
his lips, declared that Mallory's can de vie
was superior to anything he had ever tasted.

"No," said Mallory, "you are mistaken;
there was one thing which, in both our esti-
mations, far surpassed this, in the way of
drinking."

"What was that?" asked Woodworth,
dubiously.

"The draught of pure, fresh spring water,
that we used to drink from the old oaken
bucket that hung in the well, after our re-
turn from the labors of the field on a sultry
day in summer."

The tear-drop glistened for a moment in
Woodworth's eye. "True — true!" he re-
plied, and shortly after quitted the place.

He immediately returned to the office,
grasped a pen, and in half an hour the
"Old Oaken Bucket," one of the most de-
lightful compositions in our language, was
ready in manuscript to be embalmed in the
memories of succeediug generations.

—Ex-Governor Charles Jackson, who died at Provi-

the oldest manufacturer of textile fabrics in the
United Stales. He was noted for severe treatment of
mill operatives. His factory at Jacksonville was kept
running fourteen hours a day, and his employes,
many of them girls, were poorly compensated.

— A subscriber writes: "I have in my possession
it very interesting relic of the war of American Inde-
pendence; a gold coin found on the battle-field of
Bemis Heights in the town of Stillwater, the ground
where General Frazer was killed. It has been in our
possession over tweiily years, prized as a memento of
the times that tried men's souls. The piece is about
the size of a Spanish silver quarter of a dollar, bear-
ing the date 1760, and the inscription, ' Josephus I.,
Port, et Alg. Rex'— a Portuguese coin evidently,
though It has never been cleaned since it came into
our possession, it is still very bright. We were offered
twenty-five dollars for it some ten years ago, but I
have kept it till this year. I now want to make it
available in the cause of Christ. We have also an
officer's sword found in the same place, ia a good
state of preservation, which I want to have serve the
cause in some way." — Exckattge.

—Mr. Theodore Thomas has written the following
letter to the secretary of the Women's Commission,
accepting the invitation to lake charge of the opening
musical exercises of the Centennial :
Mrs. Caroline E. White :

Deak Mad.vme — Having just completed my business
arrangements to give concerts in Philadelphia dur-
ing the six months of the Exposition, I hasten to ac-
knowledge the invitation given me through you from
the Women's Centennial Committee, and to thank
them for the interest they take in the cause of music.
It is this invitation which made it advisable and possi-
ble to embark on this enterprise, for, with your sup-
port, it can not be otherwise than successful. It is
another proof of the fact that art and culture in this
country can look for support and encouragement only
to the women; the majority of men are only taken
along! Had I that command of the pen which prac-
tice has given me with my stick, I could well write at
length on this point ; but, being a musician, it can not
be expected that I should express myself fully in any
other way than in that language to which we some-
times resort when words fail us, and with which 1 am
most familiar. lean only assure you that I shall en-
deavor to sh6w myself not unworthy of the confidence
which you have reposed in mc.

Yours, with respect, Theo. Thomas.

Foreign Notes.

—How to dissuade people from marrying— Send
them to the seaside, and they will be always hearing
the moaning of the tied.

— A lady recently applied to a well-known music
teacher, to give her darter lessons in singifi,' as
si?igin' always went well with music.

— 1 he total number of strings to a piano when prop-
erly stretched to produce the right tones, exert a pull
of over ten tons ; this explains why good pianos must
be durably and heavily built.

—There is a widow in Colorado who applied
for and obtained the position of bass drummer in a
brass band. She says when she is banging at that
drum it reminds her so of the time when " poor Tom"
was alive. She is a very big woman, and " poor Tom"

— It has transpired that Lucy Larcom began to
write verses at the age of seven years. A most amus-
ing blunder occurred when one of her earliest pieces
was published. The editor intended to say that they
were written under the inspiration of the " muses,"—
a word that by the use of the wrong types was trans-
formed into "nurses," much to the amusement of
those who knew her age at the time.

— A London audience listened quietly to a singer
and rapturously applauded Handel's accompaniment.
This marked preference mortified the singer, who
threatened Handel if he ever played such a trick
again, he would jump down upon his instrument and
put an end to the interruption. Handel was exces-
sively amused at this. "You vill jump, vill you?"
said he, " very well, sare, be so kind and tell me ven
you vill jump, and I vill advertise it in te bills."

—Mr. Trollope has written a burlesque of his own
style for a charitable publication in Boston called
Sheets for the Cradle. In sending the manuscript for
the story, Mr. Trollope writes : "As Bret Harte says
I hav9 no sense of humor, and won't laugh at me, I
must try and laugh at myself, and make fun of the
heroine I have loved best." Those faithful readers
who are familiar with the novels of Mr. Trollope will
readily recognize in the burlesque the heroine of the
" Small House at Allington."

—A French connoisseur lately entered a Paris " cu-
riosity shop," and saw a beautiful Dresden vase.
Asking the price, he was told £,^0, "and/' said the
dealer, " If I had the pair they would be worth £:too."
M. A. offered £20, and came several days running to
renew his proposal, but in vam. One day a man came
to M. A.'s apartments to show him some old china
plates, and induced him to visit his shop in the Batig-
nolles. To his surprise and delight M. A. saw in an
obscure corner of the shop a vase exactly similar to
the coveted Dresden, and eagerly secured it for £,^Z,
with the assurance that the pair, if forthcoming, would
be worth ;£;4oo, M. A. rushed off to the first dealer,
and offered him his own price for the vase. "Ah,
sir," said he, " you come too late; I sold it yesterday
to a dealer at the Batignolles ! "

— In a recent lecture upon choral psalmody, a
Washington clergyman noticed some of the very
amusing and even ridiculous effects caused by awk-
ward divisions in repetition lines. He quoted, for in-
stance, the lines "I love thee better than before,"
which by a certain tune requires the bass to bellow
forth in a stentorian tone: " I love thee Bet—, I love
thee Bet— ." "My poor polluted heart," becomes
" My poor poll—, my poor poll—." " We'll catch the
fleeting hour," is often necessarily sung: "We'll
catch the flee—, we'll catch the flee—, we'll catch the
fleeting hour." In the same manner "And take thy
pilgrim home," becomes, "And take thy pil— ." -'And
in the pious he delights," is rendered, "And in the
pi— , and in the pie." "Send down salvation," gi%-es
us, "Send down Sal—." In one case mentioned the
soprano shouts: "Oh for a man— ," and the chorus
responds, "Oh for a mansion in the skies;" the alto
continues the strain with "Teach me to kiss, teach
me to kiss," while the bass renders the request quite
prosaic by singing " Teach me to kiss the rod."

ment has two well-made holes and is made of bone.
This is the first discovery that even hints that pre-

it places the history of music further back than ever

—Mr. Rod. Aronson, the popular young American
composer, is now at the Splendide Hotel, Paris, study-

visiting London, Berlin, and other plates, and his
music is about to be introduced into those cities by
Mr. Dan Godfrey, of the Grenadier Guard Band;
Mr. Coote, of London, the musical director of the no-
bility balls, and Mr. Saro, of Berlin.

— The presentation of ".\ntigone" at the Crystal
Palace in London, appears to have been successful,
Miss Genevieve Ward and all concerned in the c.ist
receiving much praise. Mendelssohn's music was
used. The f'/^ar*? says that the stage was constructed
in almost exact accordance with the principles laid
down by Pollux. In front and before the curtain was
the altar of Bacchus, or Ihymole, where, in the days
of ancient Athens, the Elders ofl'ered sacrifice before
and after the play. Fronting the audience was the
royal gate, used only by Creon, King of Thebes, the
other characters making their exits and entrances by
the side gales. The scenery was, in fact, thoroughly
appropriate.

¥1ie Worn© Ifiisfe:

Each book of this splendid collection is separate and independent of all others, is generally bought
by itself, and used by itself. Still, as the volumes are all uniform in binding, size and style, price and
general plan, it is quite proper that they should be brought under one general designation. Indeed,
what more perfect musical library can be imagined ! Each book contains the best music of the kind
indicated by the title, and in some cases nearly all of it. For instance, " Operatic Pearls," contains
nearly all the pieces from standard operas; at least nearly all that are sung in concerts. " Gems of
Strauss," contains nearly all the favorite compositions of the brilliant composer; and so of the other
books.

THE FABBRI OPERA.

Since tlie (le])arture (if Theodor Wach-
trl, the Fabbri Opera Company have re-
sumed tlieir Sunday evening performan-
ces at Wade's Opera House. Mozart's
masterpiece, T/ie Mat/ie Flute was pre-
sented on the ^tith ult, and Miss Helene
Dingeon made her first appearance in
these entertainments, as "Pamina," with
excellent success and won a lively recall.
This lady's syinjiathetic voice and anima-
ted action well qualify her for the opera.
Miss Bertha Koenier was a good "Queen
of the Night," while Mine. Fabbri, M'lle
Elzer and Messrs .Jacob Mueller and La-
fontaine had subordinate parts. Mr. The-
odore Habelmann was in tine voice and
in the role of "Tamino" displayed genu-
ine artistic ability. Mr. Daniel Kley-
dom, as "Sarastro," sang the upjier notes
of his part in gooil style, and with power;
liut we missed the rich low tones and dra-
matic acting of Mr. Karl Formes in this
imposing role, which is one of his spec-
ialties.

Kreut/.er's ojjera, -1 XU/lit in GroiiaJd
was given on the ^nd inst, as abenefit to
Mr. Mueller. The music of this opera is
sweet and pathetic, and although new to
our citizens, it needs only repetition to be-
c jme popular. Mr. Mueller had the lead-
ing part, "The Hunter," and his singing
and acting were alike brilliant and ex-
pressive. Mine. Fabliri fully improved
the occasion by the display of her talent
as "Gabrielle;" and the duos with Mr.
Mueller were sung by both with a depth
of feeling rarely observed. Mr. Habel-
mann as Gomez had comparatively little
to do, but perfiirmed his part well.
Messrs Pflueger, Lafontaine andForti as-
sumed the secondary roles, and the cho-
rus and orchestra were uncommonly
good.

THEODOR WACHTEL.

This distinguished tenor made four ap-
pearances at Wade's Opera House since
our last numlier went tt) press, in the fol-
lowing operas: // Trovatore., 12th ult;
Lucia <1e Lammermoor, lith ult; The
Jewess, IGth ult, and Fra JJiavo/o, 10th
ult. This was his second introduction as
Manrico in li lyovutore, and in our
judgment was the best performance he
has given on this coast. The celebrated
solo in the third act, "Di quella pira,"
given in German, was tumultuously en-
cored, and repeated in Italian with still
better effect. The prison solo and duet
with Mme. Fabbri, were given with such
mingled strength and tenderness as to
elicit an ardent double recall and demand
a repetition. His high chest tones were
prolonged beyond all previous efforts,
and fully satisfied the most critical. Jlr.
.Jacob Mueller suqirised every one by
his rendering of "II Balen," which dis-
played his powerful baritone voice to
great advantage. In the fourth act, both
Mr. Mueller and Madame Inez Fabbri
won laurels and were encored, and the
chorus was better than usual.

The charming opera, Jjueia di Lum-
metinoor, was represented in a most spir-
ited manner, and recalls were frequent.
The finale of the second aqt was mag-
nificently sung and acted liy Mr. Wach-
tel, Mr. Mueller and Mme. Fabbri, and
the mad scene of the third act was faith-
fully personated by the latter. In Hale-
ry's opera, The JeireAi, Mr. Karl Formes
took the role of the Cardinal with grand
success, and his lower notes were never
more effective; and Mr. Chas. Pflueger
made a good impression. In Ffii Diiiro-
h> Messrs Theodore Habelmann and Ivarl
Formes showed great talent in the serio-
comic imperstmation of the brigands;
and Miss Anna Elzer was a s])rightly
Zerlina.

It is the opinion of competent critics
that Mr. Wachtel failed to do himself
justice ill these two operas last named,
and in 7'V(( J)iiirol(i, his last perform-
ance, he certainly gave less satisfaction
than some of our American tenors.
Near the close of the last act of Fr^i
I)iiiroh>, Mr. Wachtel was i)resented by
a little girl with a beautiful wreath and
bouquets, to which he responded, thank-
ing the peo])le of San Francisco for their
kind ajiiireciation.

MADAME L DE BUCHBERGER
Our musical fripmls in Oakland Iiiivp re-
cently been favored by the arrival of this
ladv, who is a graduate of the Vienna Con-
servatory of Music, and who has for some
time been a resident of Chiciigo. frem whence
she comes highly recommended as a teacher
of music. We trust she may have success
on this coast. Her address nnty be found in
our list on another page.

THE MAGIC TEACHER.

We are now publishing copies of "The
Magic Teacher," a new invention, eonsi.st-
ing of a card, to be placed back of the piano
keys, so arranged as to show at a glance to
the pupil any note of a piano lesson. The
position on the piano of the letters of the
scale, the ditferent clefs, and the effect of the
flats and sharps, by the aid of this card are
readily ascertained by the pupil, and teai-h-
ers have found it of great assistance, espec-
ially to beginners. Tlie card will be mailed
postpaid to any address on receipt of the
price, %\.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

HENRV SOXTHKI.M.

This gentleman, known as one of the
greatest of living operatic tenors, was born
in the little village of Yebenhausen, some 25
miles from .Stuttgart. As this village had
been the native place of many prominent
singers, a call was at one time made upon
the inhabitants for material for the Royal
Opera at Stuttgart. The parents of ten boys
responded and took their children to the
capital for examination. Two of these were
accepted by the director.s, and one of them,
the subject of this article, was then only ten
years of age. He was placed in training and
shortly sang in chorus, but it was soon dis-
covered that he had a remarkably sweet,
flexible and powerful voice, and he became
very popular. After remaining for a few-
years at Stuttgart, he went to Carlsruhe at
the request of the Grand Duke of Baden,
where he appeared in the role of Eleazar in
the opera of The Jeieess. In this character,
his singing and acting were so perfect as elicit
unboimded enthusiasm, the stage lieing lit-
erally covered with laurel wreaths and flow-
ers. His warm reception in Carlsruhe was
soon known in .Stuttgart, and the King of
Wurtemberg or<lered a dispatch to be sent,
directing his return.

Shortly after his arrival he was engageil
for life at the opera, at a yearly salary as
Ilof Opern Singer, which position he held
for over twenty-five years, and was a univer-
sal favorite. His engagement comprising
only nine months of each year, he usually
spent the other three months in visiting all
tlie largo cities of fierinany, where he was
ardently welcomed, and received ilecorations
and valuable presents from various crowned
lieads. Mr. .Sontheiiu has recently retired
from the stage, after a most sueccssful ca-
reer, to the great regret of tlio Wurtcmber-
gcrs. He now receives a pension from tlie
government, and resides at his chateau in
his native village, surrounded by numerous
friends, lie has a cousin in this city, Mr.
Uosenheim, who is endeavoring to induce
tills distinguished tenor to visit .San Francis-
co. We hojic the cti'ort may be successful,
and that Mr. Sonthcim may favor our citi-
zens with his appearance in the opera.

Musical Review.

MISS ALICE HOSMER.

This estimable young lady, whose public
appearance in operatic concerts in Wasliing-
ton last snmnier, was heralded in eulogistic
terms by the eastern press, has recently gone
to New York city, to receive instruction
from the noted teacher. Max Maret/.ek.
I'jistern critics pronounce her voice one of
remarkable compass, combining the sympa-
thetic quality with rare tlexibility, richness
and power, and predict for her, upon the
completion of her musical education in this
country and Europe, a career second to none
as an operatic prima donna.

Miss Hosmer has been engaged as the
leading soprano in St. Stephen's churcli,
which lias long been celebrated for its ex-
(piisite music, until sucli time as she goes to
Europe. Such instances of superior vocal
talent are more frequent than formerly, and
we chronicle them with great satisfaction.

JI'LLE JENNY CLAUS.

This superior violinist made her fiftli ap-
pearance in tliis city, in a benefit matinee at
Piatt's Hall on the 5th inst. She appeared
in four numbers on this occasion, the first,
Scliumann's Quartette in Eb, with Messrs.
Voliner Hoffmeyer, Emile David and Julius
Hinriclis. on piano, viola and cello, each of
wliom did full justice to the piece. Her fin-
ished rendering of Reber's "Berceuse," was
followed by Dancla'sspai-kling "Tarentelle."
Hut her third and fourth numbers, a violin
solo by Vieuxteraps, and a Transcription Ca-
price on Martha, including "The Last Rose
of Summer," most con.spicuously showed
her the true artist. Her execution is singu-
larly delicate and flexible, and her expres-
sion combines brilliancy and feeling in a
high degree. The unatTected and charming
manners of Miss Claus upon the stage
heighten the effect of her performances,
wliich give promise of future eminence. On
this occasion she was recalled after each
number with great enthusiasm, and gave
one encore piece. The piano accompani-
ments were excellently played by M^-. Jo-
seph Rekel, the musical director and Inisi-
ness manager.

Miss Clara Beutler, whose sweet and pen-
etrating voice is always an attraction, sang
the aria "Paradise and Peri;" also, "My
Soul I dip in the Chalice" and "Song of the
May," the latter an exquisite melody, and
was deservedly recalled, ilr. Jacob Mueller
gave Mattel's None ver with the depth and
t^eauty of expression which characterize his
best performances in the opera ; also tlie
delicious "Volkslied" of Mulder and Gotter-
man's "Nach und Nach," and was heartily
recalled in eacli instance. We trust Miss
Claus may favor us witli evening concerts
before slie leaves the city.

MISS GERTIE DIETZ.

This young lady has for several months
been taking operatic lessons from the dis-
tinguished basso and teacher, Mr. Karl

Formes, and on a recent occasion we were
invited to hear one of her rehearsals. Miss
Dietz has a soprano voice of rare clearness
and volume, and an intensity of action pre-
cisely fitted for the opera. We were sur-
prised at the progress she is making, and
shall look with interest for her future public
appearance, in the hope that Mr. Formes'
ardent expectations of her eventual success
as an operatic prima donna, may be fully
realized. San Francisco is already becom-
ing celelirated for its amateur musical and
dramatic "talent, and we see no reason why
the native genius among us should not in
many cases be developed into the highest
artistic abilitj'.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

We are glad to note, tliat since our last
number, the Legislature has made an ap-
propriation sufficient to carry the public
schools througli to the usual date of vaca-
tion. Also, that the Gibbons' bill to exclude
music, drawing, French and German from
tlie i)ubli<! scliools, has failed to become a
law through the "pocket veto" of Governor
Irwin, who will receive the heartfelt thanks
of all true friends of our enlarged and lib-
eral school system. With a Board of Edu-
cation, Superintendent and Deputy, as well
as principals and teachers, animated by pro-
gressive ideas upon matters of instruction,
the future prosperity of our schools is as-
sured.

WILLIAMS' ACADEMY.

A short time since, our citizens learned
with regret that Prof. W. J. G. Williams, for
many years connected with the school de-
partment of this city, had resigned the prin-
cipalship of the Broadway Grammar School,
whidi under his charge, has attained such
deserved celebrity. We are now pleased to
announce that on the 17th inst. Prof. Wil-
liams will open an Academy and Normal
Training School at No. 727 Union street in
this city. The excellent re])Utation of Prof.
Williams as a teacher, will doubtless ensure
an ample patronage for his new institution,
whicli will supply a deficiency long realized
in the qualification of teachers, and is enti-
tled to the favorable consideration of the
public. We are gratified to learn that music,
drawing and modern languages, will receive
particular attention in the new academy.

MR. C. H. HAM.

It is witli much satisfaction that we note
the election by the Board of Education of
this intelligent gentleman and competent
teacher to the principalship of the Broadway
Grammar School. As vice principal of the
Lincoln Grammar School, Prof. Ham has at-
tained a fine reputation, and we know of no
one better fitted to fill Prof. Williams' place.
His efforts will be ably seconded by the tal-
ented vice principal, Mrs. M. J. Carusi, and
tlie corps of teaeliers, and we are especially
glad to know that all are greatly interested
in the musical culture of their pupils.

MISS MARIAN SINGER.

We translate from the "Conrrier de San
Francisco" of the 28th ult., the following
highly favorable notice of a recent perform-
ance by this excellent lady on the 27th ult.,
at the California Theatre, in Scribe's comedy
"Le Lorgnon." Miss Marian Singer, who
assumed the role of Mina, charmed us by her
graceful and natural personation, whicli
showed her exact appreciation of the char-
acter. Her voice is strong and sympathetic,
and excels that of most of our California
prima donnas. Her song from Mignon,
given as an interlude, was exquisitely sung]
and she was recalled with unbounded en-
thusiasm, to which she responded in cos-
tume with a selection from "ia Grande
Duchesse," which was equally applauded,
and won for her a shower of bouquets.

GILMORE'S BAND.

This celebrated band under the direction
of P. S. Gilmore of Boston jubilee fame, will
inaugurate a season of Grand Promenade
Concerts at the Mechanic's Pavilion, com-
mencing Monday evening, 1 7th inst. Among
the fifty musicians are Messrs. J. Levy and
M. Arbuckle the distinguished cornet play-
ers, and many other noted instrumental so-
loists ; and in addition to the band, Miss
Emma C. Thursby, soprano and Mr. Adolph
Sohst, baritone, from New Y'ork, will ap-
pear. Reserved seats may be procured at
Sherman's A Hyde's on and after the lOtli
inst, without extra charge.

AN ELEGANT FLAG.

We were recently invited to examine a flag
now on exhibition in the embroidering par-
lors of Mrs. Max Koerner, at No. 115 Kearny
street, Room 4. The flag of white .silk, (i
ft. 9 inches long by 4 ft. 5 inches wide, and

ENTERPRISE.

Our readers will jtardon us for reprint-
ing the following article from the Pacific.
It is too good to bo lost and will be aj)-
])reciated by our many friends;

Sauntering through Kearny street, one
day last week, we foinul ourselves sud-
denly overtaken by a rain stomi, sans
overcoat, suits umbrella, and unfortu-
nately for the time — dressed in our Sun-
day best. The nearest and most agreea-
ble refuge seemed to be Sherman &
Hyde's music store, and recognizing in
one of the clerks an old friend, we
]iromj)tly accepted his invitation to take a
look thnmgh the establishment.

First we were shown a si)Iendid new
stock of brass instruments, just arrived
from Germany, also beautiful Swiss music
boxes, a fine lot of flutes, violins, and the
matchless Martin guitars. The prices
struck us as being fabulously low. In-
quiring how it could be attbrded, we
were informed that such an extensive
liusiness, selling iirincipally for cash, and
importing direct, coidd find reasonable
])rofit in the low prices, and the conse-
quent quick and large sales.

Descending to the lower floors we
were shown through the wholesale de-
partment, which consists of five rooms.
Whew! was our involuntary exclama-
tion.

Pinnoe to the riljht of UB,
PiBBoB to the Ijflof us,
PiannB iu front of ub.
PianoB in the rear of us.

Sounded and thundered I
Beautiful every one.
FanltlesB iu touch and tone,
Melting the heart of stone.
And think of the prince of them.
" Weber" and Cottage Gem,

Less than si^ hundred.

When can this glory die?
Never, the quick reply.

Sounded and thnndered.
Come then with cnsh iu baud.
Come and your choice demand,
None better in the land.
Aud think of the price of them,
" Weber" and Cottage Gem,

Half of Bix hundred.

At the right of the piano mid organ
rooms is the printing and jniblishing de-
partmi'iit; for Messrs. Sherman & Hyde
])ul)lish their own music sheets, circulars,
notices, andthe Monthly Musical Review.
Further on are the jiacking and repair-
ing rooms. On all sides were shelves
filled with books and sheet music, and
a])pearances here strongly indicate that
whatever one may desire in this line may
be had for the asking.

There can be no doubt that this estab-
lishment will ero long largely control the

music trade of the Pacific Coast, extend-
ing their orders even to Mexico and
China. We spent an hour most pleas-
antly and profitably at this vast music
emporium and came away thankful to the
auspicious cloud that had opened its
floodgates as we neared Kearny street
that ilay.

THE STANDARD ORGAN.

Among the voluntary testimonials we
frequently receive to the superior excel-
lence of the Standard Organs manufac-
tured by Peloubet, Pelton & Co., we
select the following, by Mr. Julius Dick-
ens, the Swedish Norwegian Vice-Con-
sul and editor of the Puget Sound Ex-
press, which shows the esteem in which
it is held in that vicinity:

(iiiNTs: — The "Standard" ( )i'gaii you
shipi)ed me some time ago was received
in excellent order, and has since been
critically tested. Acctmiplished music-
ians have ])layed on it and examined it,
and every person who has seen the in-
strument unite in the assertion that tiiey
never heard a better organ for music,
nor saw a more ornamental j)iece of fur-
niture. In a word, we ai'e delighted
with it.

LONDON CORRESPONDENCE.
LosDOX, England, March 'id, 1870.

Dear Review: — Musical matters are
growing more interesting of late. A se-
lection of the works of Handel and Men-
delssohn was produced by the Sacred
Harmonic Society on the 4th ult., and a
recitative and aria from Handel's Oa-n-
sional oratorio were finely given by Mr.
Vernon Rigby. Mendelssohn's 7?(;/br/;;(r-
tion symjihony ■vvas admirably rendered,
and his cantata "Lauda Sion" was also
performed. This cantata was composed
for the church of St. Martin Liege, where
it was first performed ,Iune 11, 184(5, that
being the festival of Coqjus Christi.
Mendelssohn's .SY. Paul was effectively
produced on the 3d ult. by Mr. W. Car-
ter's choir at the Royal Albert Hall, the
]irinei])al soloists being Mme. ^^'yIlne,
Mine. Patey and Messrs. Lloyd ond Foli.
The ])rogramme of the Monday Pop-
ular Concerts on the 17th January was
composed of numbers not often intro-
duced, among them Dussek's "Plus Ul-
tra" sonata, admirably played by 51'lle
Marie Krebs, who was afterwards asso-
ciated with Mme. Neruda in J.S. Bach's
sonata in A, No. 'Z for piano and violin,
and a trio by F. Gernsheim, a prominent
German com])oser. The vocalist, Mr.
Shaksjiere sang with excpiisite taste.
The next concert presented a novelty, a
piano sonata in G minor by Prof. Mac-
farren, irrejiroachably rendered by Miss
Zimmerman, for whom it was expressly
composed. Mr. Sims Reeves was the
vocalist. There is something in this
great tenor's voice which stamjis him as
superior to all others, and ho is tpiite as
po])iilar as ever. One of the most inter-
esting features of the ne.xt concert, (.lan-
uary 31st) was Sterndale Bennett's Sex-
tctt in F shar]) minor for jiiano, two vio-
lins, viola, cello and basso. This work
was written before the conqioser was 1!),
and while yet a jnqiil at the Royal Acad-
emy of Music. It contains exquisite
specimens of his nnitiihife style and
))lenty of brilliant work for the pianist.
M'Ue Lowe was the vocalist. At the
next concert, M'lle Krebs played Schu-
bert's sonatas in C minor for piano alone
magnificently. Handel's sonata in C for
piano and cello was a novelty, and Sig-
nor Piatti's playing theri'in was jierfec-
tion.

.Many atli'artions have lately 1 n pre-
sented' at the Cry.stal Palace Winter
Concerts, among which was Sterndale
Bennett's melodious ca])rice for jiiano
ami orchestra, ]>layed in a sparkling
manner liy M'lle Krebs, and .Mendel-
ssohn's charming overture "Fiiigai's
Cave." Where is more ])ictur("*(|ue mu-
sic to be found than iu Mendclssohirs
ov(>rture"::' Handel's "Chaiulos Te Di'iim"
was presented on tiie 5th ult., for the first
time in !.">() years, and contains excellent
music. Mr. Henry Gadsby's"Tutermezzo

Shi

&• ffvDE's Musical Ri

Scherzo" is a very clever work. Sulli-
van's syinphonj' in E minor is a remark-

ists are Mmes. Wynne, Patey and Os-

Miss Florence May, a yoniig and prom-
ising jiianist, a pupil of Mme. Schu-
mann and Herr Brahms, has lately given
three recitals at the Bec^thoven Rooms,
and has displayed considerable ability
and acquaintance with the works of the
loading composers. The New Royal
Aquarium possesses an efficient band,
which under the batons of Messrs. Sulli-
van and Mount discovu'ses tine music, and
several popular vocalists have been sing-
ing there. Mr. Kuhe's nuisical festival
at Brighton has l)een a decided success.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Denman School Girls Concert. — On the
31st ult., Pacific Hall was densely crowded
by our citizens, on the occasion of a concert
given by tlie young ladies of the Denman
Grammar School, assisted by tlie Apollo
Glee Society, and other superior talent.
The concert was given for the benefit of the
Teacher'.s Mutual Aid Society of that school,
and was under the direction of Prof. Wash-
ington Elliot, who is principal of music in the
Public Schools, and conductor of the Apollo
Glee Society. Fifty young ladies, members
of two volunteer singing clubs, called the
" Occidental," and "Oriental," comprising
the clioicest musical talent of the six first
and second grades of tliis celebrated school,
appeared in the following choruses, includ-
ing encore pieces : "Hunter's Call," "Good
Night Song," "New Year's Chimes," "Hark!
tis the Convent Bells," " Distant Chimes,"
and "Murmuring Sea." In fullness and
brilliancy of expression, these young ladies
are rarely excelled by amateurs of niaturer
years, and their vocal precision, no less than
their fresh voices, and unaffected manners,
delighted the audience, who greeted them
with entliusiastic plaudits. It was noticeable
that they sang independently, without the
usual leadership; and their gratifying
achievements are largely duo to the alile
instruction of Prof. Elliot, seconded by the
earnest support of Prof. John Swctt, princi-
pal of the school, and their class teachers.

Thirty girls from Mrs. M. J. Cline's fifth
grade class, dressed in white, sang in chorus,
" Village Bells," and "Home, Sweet Home,"
and an equal number from Mrs. N. M.
Ryan's sixth grade, gave the " Pliysiology
Song with Calisthenics." These .songs of
the younger pupils were so sweetly and accu-
ately rendered as to charm the listeners, who
manifested their enjoyment by ardent re-
calls. Miss Susie Beeman, a pupil of Miss
Sarah P. Lillie's first grade, gave the popular
song, "Sing, Sweet Bird," in a manner that
elicited the encomiums of all. This young
lady has a soprano voice of remarkable
richness and volume, which we hope may
receive thorough culture.

Miss Clara Beutler appeared in a solo,
fully sustaining her excellent reputation as
a vocalist, and won a deserved encore. Tliis
lady was formerly a pupil in the Denman
Grammar School, and was a great accession
to this entertainment. The Apollo Glee
Society sang several operatic choruses, show-
ing the continued musical progress of this
active society. Mr. Martin Schultz played
the accompaniments with unusual skill on
the Weber Grand Piano. Millard's popular
song, " Darling," was given with such vigor
and animation by Miss Amelia I. Block, as
to win a lively encore, in which she excelled
her previous attempt. Owing to the illness
of Miss Addie Irish, her place in the quar-
tette, " Sweet and Low," was acceiitably

filled by Miss Block. Miss S. A. Rightmiic
displayed signal ability as a contralto in the
same quartette, and Messrs. Frank Warner
and Harry Carpenter were in excellent voice,
and did full justice to the tenor and baritone
parts. Tlie duet, "See the Pale Moon," by
Miss Rightmire and Mr. Warner was artis-
tically executed, and was one of tlie features
of tlie evening. The two numbers last
named, were heartily encored.

Miss ISIay Shellard and Mr. S. S. Bennett,
gave the duet, " Excelsior," in wliich the
former sang with commendable taste; and
Mr. Bennett gave a good solo, "The Wan-
derer." All the ladies above named were
greeted with a profusion of floral offerings.
A zither duet was played by Messrs. Chas.
Mayer and Clias. Hertweck, with the deli-
cacy of touch for which these gentlemen are
noted. This concert was distinguished for
the nearly uniform merit of the several
numbers, and the good judgment evinced in
the selection of pieces ; and it was nni\ ersally
pronounced a splendid success.

Musical Soiree.— One of the best soirees
of the season was given on the 15th ult., at
Y. M. C. A. Hall, on Sutter street, by a party
of gentlemen, assisted by the Amphion
Quartette, and other superior talent. The
quartette consists of Messrs. Joseph Magnire.
J. E. Tippett, Jacob Stadtfeld and W. ('.
Campbell, but owing to the absence of the
latter, his place was filled by Mr. Munson
Russell. Tlie concert was given to invited
guests only, and the hall was filled witli an
audience of musical people. Two quartettes
were given by the Amphions and encored
with an enthusiasm that evidently inspired
the performers. Mrs. R. K. Marriner gave
the Scotcli song, " Enchantress Farewell,"
and an encore; and with Mr. Stadtfeld,
"Legeres Hiroiidelles" from Mignon, and
her clear and sympathetic voice was never
heard to better advantage. Mr. Joseph
Maguire appeared in the solo, " No Jeweled
Beauty is my Love," and an encore piece,
and it is generally conceded that he never
sang so well liefore in public. Mr. Reuling
received a recall for his good rendering of the
solo, " O [Loving Heart Trust On." Mr.
Henrj' C. Ruhl was excellent, in his violin
solo, and Mr. H. O. Hunt played the piano
accompaniments with his usual good taste.

One of the features of the evening was
Mrs. Robert Barton's brilliant execution in
the piano solo from Chopin, Sclierzo in Bli
minor, and her encore piece was equally
finished and effective. The concert con-
cluded with the novel "Children's Sym-
phony, in four parts, finely rendered by an
improvised orchestra of juvenile instruments
In addition to piano, violin and cello. The
gentlemen taking part in this symphony, and
their associates, richly deserve the congratu-
lations of their invited friends upon the
complete success of their entertainment.

SioNOR Padovan'i's Concert. — At Piatt's
Hall, on the 9th ult., Signer F. Padovani
gave a concert, assisted by eminent talent.
Mr. Theodore Habelmann, of the Fabbri
Opera, appeared in two German songs, in
which his ability' as a lyric artist was well
displayed. Mr. V. Lafontaine, also of the
opera, gave the .song, " Silver Night," with
animation. Signora Padovani .sang the
cavatina from Robert le Diable, with sweet
and tender expression. Mme. Zeiss Dennis
gave two vocal numbers, one of which, the
Brindisi from Lucrczia Boryia, is exactly
adapted to her powerful voice ; and her
sparkling execution won a merited recall.

Signor Padovani played as a violin solo, a
beautiful fanlaisia, which was one of the
leading numbers of the evening, and was
wildly encored. This gentleman's new
stringed instrument, the "Octave Violin"
was introduced. It has six strings, arranged
in octaves and fifths, is somewhat larger
than the ordinary instrument, and its tones
have less brilliancy, but more richness.
The Serenade and Variations, of his own
composition, were admirably executed by
Signor Padovani upon the new instrument.
Miss JIathilde A'alerga, a most promising
pupil of that gentleman, made her debut in
a violin solo, and was encored. Prof. Hugo
L. Mansfcldt gave two piano solos, each in
three parts. Of these, the weird melody of
Schubert's " Erl King," the tender strains of
the "Cradle Song," and Weber's elegant
"Rondo Presto" were the most conspicuous,
and were played with that brilliancy of exe-
cution and expression which characterizes
all of Mr. Mansfeldt's performances. Other
numbers were performed bj' the various
artists.

Handkl and Haydn Rehearsal. — The
Handel and Haydn Society gave their first
public rehearsal at Dashaway Hall on the
31st ult, under the direction of Mr. John P.
Morgan. The first part of the programme
consisted of selections from Mendelssohn's
oratorio of Elijah, and the choruses were
rendered with the accustomed spirit of this
society, whose advancement under Prof.
Morgan's instruction has been an honor to
them and a credit to our city. The leading
numbers were taken by Mrs. C. R. Hum-
phrey, Mrs. John Trehane, Miss Estelle
Nichols, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Cameron, Mrs.
Svvett and Mr. Cornelius Makin.

The second part was miscellaneous in
character. The alto solo of Mrs. Swett, and
the basso solo of Mr. C. Makin, were sung
with vigor and beauty. Miss Nichols' so-
prano solo, "Angels' Serenade" was ren-
dered with delicacy of expression, and Mrs.
Clark's alto solo, "Love will shine" was
rich and sympathetic. Mrs. Humphrey's
.soprano solo, "New Ave Maria," by Ba.s.sini,
was one of the gems of the evening. This
lady lias a clear and powerful voice under
good control, and her vocal elTorts in the
choir of tho Univorsalist Church have been

very favorably received. The society ap-
peared in two glees, one of which was the
concluding piece. Tlie leading numbers of
this successful rehearsal received merited
applause.

Miss Dillaye's Organ Recital. — .\ .se-
ries of organ recitals are now being given on
Saturday afternoons at the First Congrega-
tional Church in Oakland, by the organist of
that church. Miss F. A. Dillaye. The first
of the series on the 1st inst, was largely at-
tended. The instrumental numbers of the
programme were Morandi's organ sonate,
Gade's "Tonstucke fiirOrgel," .Schubert's
"Andante con moto" from .symphony in (',
and Bach's "Toccata et Fuga." The fin-
ished style and sustained energy which dis-
tinguish Miss Dillaye's playing have made
a remarkably favorable impression upon the
citizens of Oakland, and from the enthusi-
asm with which her brilliant execution was
received, particularly in the intricate and
exalted melody of Bach's composition, we
are led to expect that these recitals will be-
come a grand success.

Mrs. L. S. Marriner appeared in "Miri-
am's Song of Triumph" by Reinecke, and
in the aria from Bach, "My Heart Ever
Faithful," which she sang in the pure and
sympathetic tones which never fail to win
the appreciation of a California audience.

' Concert at Plymouth Church. — On the
23d ult., a concert was given at Plymouth
Congregational Church, on Taylor street, in
aid of Bethany Church, under the excellent
direction of Prof. Gustav .\. Scott. The first
piece on the programme was a quartette,
by the choir, which was sung with fine ex-
pression. Prof. a. W. Jack.son, as tenor
and leader, and Mrs. J. M. Pierce, as .soprano
have been long and favorably known in this
city : but the choir has recently gained a
valuable accession in Miss S. A. Rightmire,
a contralto of unusual power and richness,
who is now a pupil of Prof. Jackson. Mrs.
Moore, the leading soprano of St. John's
Presbyterian Church, gave a superb solo,
" I'm sister of the Nightingale," and Prof.
G. Nathanson, an excellent song, " Let me
Love Thee." Mr. John Trehane sang
" Love's Request," in good taste, and Mrs.
Parsons, the " Angel's Serenade," with ac-
companiments on guitar and organ by Senor
M. Y. Ferrer and Piof. Scott. Mrs. and Mr.
F. C. Hawkins, Mrs. Skinner, and Mi.ss
Minnie Brearley, also gave vocal pieces.
One of the features of tho evening was the
piano solo, Galop de Concert, by Mi.ss
Fannie Meyers, whose finished execution
was universally adinire<l, and was loudly
encored. Mr. Sam Booth, the noted humor-
ist, gave a song of his owncompo.sition, (un-
published,) " A Dollar or Two," and in re-
sponse to an enthusiastic encore, ho sang
"The Big Bonanza." Tho concluding piece,
" Old Hundred," was sung by all the artists,
assisted bv the large audience.

Herold's Orchestral Matinees. — The
sixth and Jast concert of the fifth series of
these Wednesday matinees was given on the
29th ult., at Piatt's Hall, on which occasion,
M'lle Jenny Claiis made her fourth appear-
ance in a violin solo by Vieuxtemps, and in
response to prolonged applause, she played
" Auld Robin Gray, " with charming
expression "The orchestral programme was
of more than ordinary interest, and the
execution was up to the highest standard.
Mozart's symphony in G minor, was the
leading piece, and was wai mly received.
Sekat's March, " To Arms," Flotow's over-
ture, " Martha," and Gade's overture, " In
the Highlands," were equally well rendered.
The ronianza "L'Edair," with French horn
and flute obligate by Messrs. Ernest Schlott
and Koppitz, was one of the best perform-
ances ever achie\ ed by this company. As
on previous occasions, the hall was crowded.
We regret to announce that Mr. Herold
will give no more matinees until June,
when we may anticipate a choice repertoire
of selections never yet presented to the San
Francisco public, and we trust the liberal
and well-deserved patronage heretofore re-
ceived, may be then renewed.

S.\ppho Concert. — The Sappho Singing
Society gave a miscellaneous concert on the
I4th ult., at Kessing's Hall, corner Twenty-
first and Howard .streets. This society, num-
bering twenty-four young ladies and gentle-
men, under the instruction of Prof. Gustav
A. Scott, has made superior progress, and
they gave on this occasion several glees with
spirit, among which " The Fairies" wascon-
spicuou.sly good. The "Star-spangled Ban-
ner," was rendered with an expression
worthy of professionals, and included an
agreeable solo, by Mrs. Par.son.s. A ballad
was finely sung by Miss Gracie Plaisted.
Mrs. Briggs gave tho Cavatina " Robert Toi
Quo J'aiiue," with good e-xpression. Mr.
Falleniusand Mr. Sara Booth each appeared
in a song, the latter an original one, given
in the inimitable style of this witty compos-
er, and was ardently recalled. A piano solo
was excellently played by Mr. S. Fabian, on
the Weber Piano. Several other i)ieces
added to the attraction of this pleasant con-
cert, which terminated in a most enjoyable
dancing i)arty.

Miss .Vlice H.vin's Soiree — .V delightful
musical entertainment was given by Jliss
Alice I Iain, at her residence, No. 2.">1S Sac-
ramento street, on the 27th Jilt., the
nineteenth birthday anniversary of this
young lady. One of the features of the
occasion was Millard's song, "Waiting,"
given in brilliant style by Miss Susie
Sroufc, who has a voice of rare (piality and
unusual power, worthy of careful cultiva-
tion. Tho aria from JiulHli, was also ad-
mirably sung by Miss Sroufe. Mr. A.
Hossack's baritone solo, is worthy of praise,
and he sang a good duet with Mr. HowUuid.

Sherman & -Hyde's /Ausical Review.

Mr. Niemann's comic song was eftectively
given. Tlie instrnmental parts of this soiree
were of a high character. The violin and
piano duet, fStrailelUi, by Messrs. Charles
Funkenstein and Sam Fabian, and the piano
solo of the latter, were artistically rendered ;
and the piano solos of Mrs. C. G. Burnett
and Mrs. Frank Clark, were most gracefully
jilayed. A felicitous poetic address to Miss
Ham was recited by Mr. H. A. Gawley, and
at the close, the numerous guests were
served with an elegant repast. The promi-
nent part assigned to music in soirees of this
description, is a source of congratulation to
all lovers of our art, and speaks well for the
growing musical talent of our citizens.

UxioN Missionary Concrrt. — On the
14th ult., at Pacific Hall, a concert was given
for the benefit of the Union Missionary
School. Mr. T. Herzog gave on the violin a
fantaisie de concert, Faust, with pronounced
success and was applauded. Mrs. and Mr.
L. S. Clark sang a superior duet, " I Pesea-
tori," which was very favorably received.
'Sim. and Miss Theresa Corlett gave a duet,
"The Cousins," in good style, and the
occasion was enlivened by a comic song from
Mr. M. J. Stimson. The programme coni-
piised other selections by the same perform-
ers.

Concert at Haywards. — On the 10th
ult., a good concert was given at Haywards,
for the benefit of the Congregational Church,
consisting chiefly of ballads and operatic
selections. Misses Addle Irish and S. A.
llightmire, and Messrs. Frank Warner and
Harry Carpenter, of the Apollo Glee Society,
participated. Mi.ss Flora Tennis, of Mills
Seminary, and Miss Jennie Hewitt, of Hay-
wards, were also among the vocalists. Miss
Ida Hough, of San Leandro, was the pianLst
of the occasion. The superior amateur talent
was received with ardent appreciation, and
a Social was held at the close of the concert.

CoMALA Club Concert. — The Comala
Club, a musical society, numbering eighty
members, under the direction of Prof. Otto
Linden, gave a concert on the 20th ult., at
Red Men's Hall. The house was filled with
appreciative listeners, comprising associate
members of the club, who contribute toward
the expenses of these concerts, and their in-
vited friends. On this occasion the cantata.
Paradise and the Peri, occupied the entire
evening. The choruses were given with
great spirit, and the solos were well distrib-
uted among the members. The leading
soprano soloist rendered her parts in a
finished style that elicited hearty applause;
and the principal soloists of the other parts
sang with fine effect. The performance of
this beautiful cantata was a musical success,
and was justly gratifying to those who had
the good fortune to be present.

L. P. L. S. Entertainment. — On the 3i)th
ult., a fine literary and musical entertain-

ment was given by the Larkin-st. Presbyte-
rian Literary Society, at their Church. The
I)rincipal musical features were a piano solo
hy Mr. J. W. Southwell, and a duet on piano
and flute, by Miss E. F. Irvin and Rev. C.
A. Poage. These were both superior. A
vocal solo by Mr. H. F. MuUer was good,
and one by Miss Linda Mott, was the gem of
the evening. Misses Clara and EUaStreet also
sang a duet. Recitations were given in ex-
cellent stylo by Messrs. H. H. Meeker and
E. M. .Johnstone, and Misses Aggie Keene
and Lena Stivers. A dramatic sketch, "The
Two Buzzards," was a complete success.
The leading characters were taken by Messrs.
John B. Faush, F. J. Moran and Paul Mul-
ler, and Misses May Evans and Cathella
Adams. Mr. Parish was particularly ad-
mired for his clever personations. This
society has been so fortunate as to greatly
interest the young people of that vicinity in
a high order of literary and musical culture.

PRESENT.iTION TO Prof. ScoiT. — The
second anniversary of the Sappho Singing
Society occurred on the IGth February, and
at their meeting on this occasion, at the resi-
dence of their instructor, Prof. Gustav A.
Scott, No. 42S Eddy street, the latter was
presented by them with a richlj' ornamented
photograph album with inscription, contain-
ing photographs of the members of the
society. An elegant presentation speech
was made by Mr. James Curtis, to which
Prof. Scott gave a witty response. A rare
social entertainment followed, and the occa-
sion was one of uncommon interest through,
out.

Mrs. Corlett's Concert. — On the 28th
ult, the first of Mrs. Corlett's popular con-
certs was given in the hall of the Young
Men's Christian Association on Sutter street.
Mr. Rosencrantz made his first appearance
in this country, and is a good baritone, but
evidently suffered from a cold. His duet
with Mrs. Corlett was well executed. The
latter also gave two readings. Miss Theresa
Corlett rendered a song acceptably. Miss
Minnie Brearley played a good solo on the
Weber Piano, and Mr. T. Herzog's violin
solo was warmly encored. Mr. H. M. Bos-
worth displayed his usual skill as an accom-
panist. Several other pieces on the pro-
gramme we have not space to notice.

Pkesentation Convent Exercises. — On
the afternoon of the 30th ult, musical exer-
cises were given by the pupils of the Sacred
Heart Presentation Convent on Taylor street,
under the auspices of the Mother .Superioress
of the convent, and the Sisters who are their
instructors. In this institution eight hun-
dred young ladies receive gratuitous educa-
tion, and especial attention is paid to music,
both vocal and instrumental. The pro-
gramme was of such length, and the pupils
participating so numerous, that we have not
space to notice them in detail, but will refer

to some of the principal features. The vocal
solos, "Wood-Nymphs Call" by Miss Ver-
don, "Chamouni," by Miss Mary Byrnes,
"Beautiful Leaves" by Miss A. Cannon, and
"Salve Maria" by Miss R. Short were most
conspicuous for merit, and were given with
fine effect. The young lady last named has
a promising mezzo soprano voice.

The instrumental part of the programme
was more enlarged and varied than the vo-
cal, and the execution was, on the average,
superior for young ladies of their ages.
Several duets and trios on three pianos were
rendered in accurate time and with good ex-
pression. Duets and trios on one piano were
also well e.xecuted, and the most advanced
pupils gave excellent piano solos. Among
the latter the following were particularly
meritorious: "Home to our Mountains," by
Miss Minnie Schofield ; "Waltz de Concert,"
by Miss M. McGeary ; "Suavita" by Miss M.
A. Fitzgerald: "The Harp," by Miss M.
Bell and "Lucia de Lammermoor" by Miss

E. Lenhart.

Seven young ladies recited an elaborate
poem with good enunciation, and an address
to Archbishop Alemany was made by Miss

F. McPhail. Misses Mary Byrnes, M. E.
Rowland and M. Traynor were presented
with gc^ld medals, diplomas and wreaths, as
graduates. Misses M. Bell, M. McGeary,
M. Powers, .S. McClosky and E. Lenhart re-
ceived silver medals for superior progress in
the second grade of music. At the close.
Brother Justin delivered an instructive ad-
dress to the pupils upon the importance of
secular and religious education. This is the
first musical festival ever given by the ])ii-
pils of this school. In the new wing of the
building, spacious rooms have been devoted
to vocal and instrumental instruction, afford-
ing complete facilities in this important
branch of education.

Mr. S. H. Marsh, the distinguished mu-
sician and composer, favored the audience
with several exquisite solos upon his favor-
ite instrument, the harp, furnished by .Sher-
man and Hyde for the occasion.

For the Review.

DAINTY LITTLE SUE.

Daluty little Sue

A iiieHSftge sweet for you,

I iitufit wliisper very Boftly iu your eal
LeKt yunder little bird
Should catch the precious word ;

For not even he should hear
What I say to you.
Dainty little Sue.

Lily bells so fair,

Sceut the evening air.
And the meadow lark is whisperinysw

But lily bells and bird.

Must never bear the word.
That I whisper in your ear :

Hear me now — pray do.

Dainty little Sue.

Listen little one.
For my story is begun.
And will you say it after me, dear flu(
Speaksoftly inmy ear;
No flower nor bird shall hear.
When I say, I do love you.
Precious little Sue,
Dainty little Sue.

Mr. Weber Ijolievcs that the American public are ever
really and willing to ])ay a lair price for a superior article.
He is, therefore, not afraid to add real iniprovenieiits, even
if tlicy enhance the cost of the instrument to the jjvirchaser.
He lias ])roceeded >ipon the |)rinciple that the very best ])os-
sible instrument is really the clicapest, and the result has
been an

Increase in the Sale of the Weber Pianos in the
past two years,

Un])arallelcd in the records of piano-forte manufacture in
this <-ountry. . This is easily accounted for when the above
facts are taken into consideration, toc;ether with the fact that

MISS JULIA RIVE.

Miss Julia Rive* was born on the 31st of
October, 1854, in the city of Cincinnati, O.,
of parents of French nationality, who im-
migrated to this country in 1848. In her
case, there was no exception to the general
rule regarding musical talent; she was born
of musical parents — her mother, Madame
Caroline Rive, being known and admired
in the art circles of this country as an ex-
ceptionally fine soprano singer, and a most
successful vocal teacher.

There is seldom anything else than
disappointment in the artistic develop-
ment of musical prodigies or infant
phenomena; but, in this regard. Miss
Rive forms a brilliant exception. She
lived in an atmosphere of music, and,
under these favorable circumstances,
her extraordinary musical talent ex-
hibited itself at a very early age, — to
the great joy of her artist-mother, who
at once took upon herself the task of
fostering and cultivating it. Her pro-
gress was so rapid that, at the age of
eight years, she performed, at one of
tlie concerts given by her mother,
Thalberg's transcription of themes
from "Don Juan." Four years later,
she appeared before a critical audience
in her native city, and challenged its
astonishment and admiration by play-
ing, from memory, selections from the
works of Beethoven, Chopin, Schu-
mann, and Liszt. She was yet a mere
child, but, nevertheless, ready to re-
ceive a thorough artistic training; and,
to this end, her mother now consigned
the care of her instruction to Mr.
Henry G. Andres, the most eminent
and successful of Cincinnati's teachers of
the pianoforte, and himself an enthusiastic
devotee of his art. To Mr. Andres is due
the honor of having laid, broad and deep,
the foundations of her musical knowledge;
of having taught her to look beyond the
mere execution of the musical phrase into
the deeper significance of the music, to
be read only in the spirit of the composer
and the composition. She was under his
training for several years, and there devel-
oped in a high degree the extraordinary
technical command over the piano which
she possesses, and learned the importance

'•'Pronounced Rc-Vay.

of carefully studying the contents of musical
compositions and of interpreting them
through the medium of correct and expres-
sive phrasing.

She next studied in New York City, with
Messrs. Bruckner, Dj Korby, and Mrs. S.
B. Mills, of national reputation as a pianist,
to whose admirable system and able in-
struction is to be attributed, in a great meas-
ure, her wonderful technique. At the age
of sixteen, she went to Europe, and during
her stay there, enjoyed the privilege of

studying under Blassman, at Dresden, Rein-
ecke, at Leipzig, and Liszt, at Weimar;
devoting the greater part of her time to
Liszt, reciting to him daily. She played at
concerts in Leipzig and Dresden, and was
about to start upon an extensive concert
tour through the European capitals, when
she was suddenly summ.oned home by the
first great grief of her life — the death of her
father, who was killed in a railway accident
near Cincinnati.

Notwithstanding that she was so well
known in her native city, it was not until
her return from Europe that she received
unqualified recognition as an artiste. The

Cincinnati public, cold and critical in its
treatment of pianists, was still prone to look
upon her as a little child, and did not think
of submitting her to the musical tests which
were alone wanting to prove her right to the
title of an eminent pianist. Stars of the
first magnitude are seldom recognized at a
glance.

She shared a common fate, too, which
results from the practice, so prevalent in the
newspaper press, of overlooking faults in
amateur performers, because they are ama-
teurs, or in local artists, because they
are local artists. This style of criti-
cism— if it can be dignified with the
name of criticism — is never conducive
of good results, nor can it ever aid
in the advancement of art. It fills in-
different performers with injurious,
and often fatal, self-conceit; fatal so
far as their art-life is concerned, and
only too often, a-s it did in the case of
Miss Rive, results in true merit and
genius passing unnoticed.

She first aroused the Cincinnati pub-
lic to a thorough appreciation of her
position in the art-world, by her per-
formance of the C minor concerto of
Beethoven, in a concert of the Cin-
cinnati Orchestra; and shortly after-
ward produced a most profound im-
pression upon the art circles of New
York, by the decisive success which
she attained with Liszt's stupendous
E flat concerto, played with the Phil-
harmonic Society, under the leader-
ship of Mr. Bergraann. Since then,
her career has been an unbroken se-
ries of brilliant triumphs.

As an artiste. Miss Rive possesses
some exceptional characteristics ; industry,
a wonderfully retentive memory, verified in
a striking manner by the fact that the reper-
toire of classic music which she has memo-
rized, is much larger than that of many an
older pianist, conscientiousness toward her
art, and a devotion to the purest and best
forms. Her technique is superb, and her
mastery of mechanical difficulties amazing.
She is gifted with an extraordinary fund of
patience, of incalculable value to the pian-
'st, whose only safety lies in unceasing prac-
tice. Her constant practice since early
childhood, has developed in her great digi-
tal and wrist power, which enables her to

Sherman &• Wyde-s Musical Review.

give a perfectly even performance of the
most tiresome and trying compositions for
the pianoforte. In the performance of the
great concertos, there is no faUing off in the
power or cleanness of touch. It is as strong,
crisp, and effective in the final rondo, as in
the allegro or slow middle movement.

Her method of practicing is careful and
thorough. She attaches great importance
to producing a full round tone from her in-
strument, and devotes hours to slow play-
ing, for the purpose of securing the requi-
site quality of tone, and determining the
value and character of each melodic figure.
Having thus gained a knowledge of the
composition and its character, she perfects
herself in the difficulties which beset the
execution, and thus gradually developes
what she conceives to be the perfect form of
the work. Her ease of manner and com-
plaisance, when before the public, are re-
markable in one so young, and the presence
of an audience always seems to have a tend-
ency to improve her playing, and her hearty
devotion to the best schools of classical
composition, have given great delight to all
her intelligent hearers, who are striving to
bring about a more thorough knowledge
and appreciation of the true and the beauti-
ful in music.

QUEER WILLS.

There is nothing more singular in the his-
tory of testamentary dispositions than the
fashion in which owners of property have
seized the occasion to "have it out" with
their relatives. There is a fiendish ingenu-
ity of cruelty in the conduct of a man who
leaves a certain legacy in his will to fire the
immagination of such and such a relative,
and then revokes the bequest by a codicil,
giving reasons for his so doing. Attached to
other bequests well known in the lore of an-
ecdote, phrases have been used which must
have considerably lessened the satisfaction
of the legatee. An Englishman once left
the sum of 5^. " to Mary Davis, daughter of
Peter Delaport, which is sufficient to enable
her to get drunk for the last time at my ex-
pense. " A member of a great industrial
family, which has been renowned for gen-
erations for its excentricities, remarked in his
will, "To my only son, who never would
follow my advice, and has treated me rude-
ly in very many instances; instead of mak-
ing him my executor and residuary legatee
(as till this day he was), I give him Jioo,-
000;" but then no ordinary person would
stop to consider the terms of a bequest that
handed him over ^100,000. It is on record
that another gentleman once directed his ex-
ecutors to purchase a copy of the picture
representing a viper biting the hand of the
man who had saved it, and to give that to
a certain friend of his, in lieu of a legacy of
/3,ooo which he had left him by a former
will now revoked and burned. " I give and

devise to my son, Daniel Church, " said a
certain Mr. S. Church in his will, "only one
shilling, and that is for him to hire a porter
to carry away the next badge and frame he
steals. A Mr. Swain we are told gave to
"John Abbot and Mary, his wife dd. each,
to buy for each of them a halter, for fear the
sheriffs should not be provided. " A
Mr. Darley left to his wife a shilling " for
picking my pocket of si.\ty guineas. " A
bookseller is said to have left the handsome
legacy of ^^50 to " Elizabeth Parker, whom
through my foolish fondness, I made my
wife, without regard to family fame or for-
tune ; and who, in return, has not spared
most unjustly to accuse me of every crime
regarding human nature, save highway rob-
bery. " Not the least curious feature, too,
in wills and bequests is the extraordinary
importance which women more especially
put upon articles of household furniture and
decoration that have become endeared to
them through constant care and pride. A
friend has thought that a joke must have
been in the mind of this or that old lady
who, with great circumstantiality, directed
in her will that he should have a particular
set of sugar-tongs and his wife a knitted fire-
screen ; whereas the old lady considered
that these articles were of the utmost value
and importance. — Harper s Weekly.

The following is a synopsis of the lecture
delivered by our contributor, Mr. A. R. Par-
sons, before the Grand Conservatory of Mu-
sic in New York, Feb. 16 :

The exercise of Judgment in its general
relations to mental life.

The exact significance of our Judgments,
as means to the discovery of truth.

The test of their validity.

The obstacles to correct Judgment in
musical matters.

How to remove them.

How to listen to Music.

How to demean ourselves towards music,
the final value of which is not yet fixed.

The quality most desirable in musical
judgment.

We clip the following from the N. Y. Phil-
hartnonic Journal: " His subject was ' Mu-
sical Judgment, ' and it was treated in a
manner at once philosophical, musically
and psychological. The evidence it gave of
deep reading and clear insight was wonder-
ful in so young a student as Mr. Parsons,
and the conclusions arrived at were so just
and the train of thought was so logical that
frequent applause interrupted the speaker.

Frequent quotations were made from
Schoppenhauer, Herbert Spencer, Eman-
uel Bach, Hammerton, Beethoven Schu-
mann, Berlioz and others, and all were well
chosen and germain to the subject The
moral of the discourse was that we should be
very careful howwe decry contemporaneous
radicalism in art, since history has countless

instances of such denunciations which only
remained as proofs of the incompetency of
critics, but artistic prescience of the criti-
cized geniuses whose best abused works are
now most highly prized, by posterity. Mr.
Parsons is himself an able pianist and an
accomplished linguist, and his success on
the rostrum is a new and delightful evidence
of the increasing scholastic tendency among
American musical artists. Such lec-
tures as this, under the auspices of this Con-
servatory, reflect great honor upon that in-
stitution, and help to establish it in the con-
fidence of a discriminating public. "

Mother Goose. — The storyofthis Iliad of
the Nursery is told by William L. Stone in
the old Providence Journal. The mother-
m-law of Thomas Fleet, editor in 1731, of
the Weekly Rehearsal, was the original
Mother Goose — the Mother Goose of the
world-famous melodies. Mother Goose be-
longed to a wealthy family in Boston, where
her eldest daughter Elizabeth Goose, was
married by Cotton Mather, in 171 5, to Fleet,
and in due time gave birth to a son. Like
most mothers-in-law in our own day, the im-
portance of Mrs Goose increased with the
appearance of her grandchild, and poor Mr.
Fleet, half distracted with her endless nurs-
ery ditties, finding all other means fail, tried
what ridicule could effect, and actually
printed a book with the title, "Songs forthe
Nursery; or. Mother Goose's Melodies for
Children, printed by T. Fleet, at his print-
ing-house. Pudding Lane, Boston. Price, ten
coppers. " Mother Goose was the mother
of nineteen children, and hence we may ea-
sily trace the origin of that famous classic,
" There was an old woman who lived in a
shoe ; she had so many children she didn't
know what to do. "

A Dog Story. — A correspondent oi Lana
and Water vouAes for the following: "A
Radnorshire lady, who was married in March
and came to reside in Yorkshire, recently
paid a visit to her father, who, before she
was married, had kept two or three sheep-
dogs, of which she was very fond. Since
then he has retired from business, and dis-
posed of all but one dog. This one met the
lady with demonstrations of great delight
upon her arrival at her father's house, and
that night the dog went a distance of seven
miles to a farmhouse where one of the other
dogs had been sent (the latterwas blind, but
kept as being an old favorite). In the morn-
ing, when the lady went to the door, she saw
not only the dog which had given her such
a glad reception the day previously, but also
the old blind one, which had evidently been
brought by the other dog to welcome her.
When the second night came the old blind
one was taken back to its home by the same
dog, which afterwards returned, having trav-
eled a distance of twenty-eight miles to give
pleasure to his old blind friend.

CLASSICAL BEAUTY.

The splendid and noble beauty of the
Hon. Mrs. Norton, her classic features ani-
mated with benevolence, her diamond eyes
brilliant with poetic fire, and her superb fig-
ure statuesque, she seems a very Corinna,
and in her maternal love the Cornelia of
ancient Rome. Her voice, when in conver-
sation, is actually melody in its sweetness,
as her poetry is harmonious and sympathet-
ic. In the classic picture at Sutherland
House, by the late and unfortunate Robert
D. Haydon, representing "Cassandra of
Ancient Troy," the figure, face and action
of the prophetess are those of the Hon. Mrs.
Norton, who aided the artist in the compo-
sition of the painting. The volume of
poetry by this accomplished 'ady is one of
the best in the English language. She is
about to become Lady Ma.\well by her in-
tended marriage. It is of interest to know
who the gentleman is, about to be honored
as the husband of such a lady. He is the
ninth baronet — Sir William Sterling Max-
well— of an ancient Scotch family, the title
having been created in 16S2. The present
baronet was educated in Trinity College,
and received distinguished honors. He be-
came a member of the board of education,
was a member of parliament, is a doctor of
laws, wealthy, and possesses estates in Perth-
shire and Glasgow. He is a gentleman of
high literary accomplishment, and is the
author of "The Annals of Artists in Spain,"
and especially "The Cloister Life of the
Emperor Charles V." The last interview I
had with this renowned beauty and poetess
was at her residence in Paris, upon a spe-
cialinvitation brought to me by her son, when
I passed the evening and partook of her
hospitality. I have often thought how I
could gratefully repay her friendship other-
wise than by a chapter in my biography ;
but little did I dream of this opportunity
which I have hastened in a chivalric spirit
to make manifest.

MADNESS OF GEORGE IN.

The following is perhaps the most note-
worthy instance on record of the beneficial
effects of an enlightened treatment of the
insane: — The highest rank did not exempt
the unhappy victims of mental disease from
treatment at which humanity recoils. Mr.
Mnssey, in his "History of King George
III.," has drawn from the Harcourt Papers
an affecting picture of the atrocious treat-
ment to which the King was subjected in
1788, when Dr. Warren regarded him as a
confirmed lunatic. The King's disorder
manifested itself principally in unceasing
talk (he talked once for nineteen hours
without intermission), but no disposition to
violence was exhibited. Yet he was sub-
jected constantly to the severe restraint of

the straight-waistcoat ; he was secluded from
the Queen and his family, and denied the
use of a knife and fork. He was abandon-
ed to the care of low mercenaries, one of
whom — a German page named Earnst —
actually struck him. The King, after his
recovery, retained a lively recollection of
these outrages. No sooner was Dr. Willis
called in than all this changed. That es-
timable person immediately soothed his
patient, released him from coercive restraint,
presented him with a razor to shave him-
self, and when the King demanded a knife
and fork he courteously assented, saying
that he hoped to be allowed the honor of
dining with his Majesty. The Queen and
princesses were again brought into his
presence. These measures were viewed
with the greatest jealousy and alarm by the
Court physicians, but the consequence was
that the King in a few weeks entirely recov-
ered. That was one of the first and most
striking instances of a victory gained by
non-restraint over madness. The effect of
Parliamentary inquiry of 181 5 was exceed-
ingly great. It struck the first great blow
at the bad experience which is the bane of
lunatic establishments. — Dr. Wj liter.

How Henry Grattan, the great Irish
orator came to have the statue erected to
his memory which was recently unveiled in
Dublin is thus related by a correspondent of
the New York Times :

There had been much talk on the subject,
but nothing positive had been done. The
city had had a statue to some one on hand
time out of mind. Now it was Moore, now it
was Goldsmith, now it was Davis, now it was
Burke, and then came the great scheme for
O'Connell's. It so fell out that Grattan was
remembered, but postponed, and waiting be-
came tolerable. There came a time when
the Fenian disturbances agitated the whole
island. The Nation newspaper was prose-
cuted by the state for seditious articles, and
the editor, Mr. A. M. Sullivan, was tried,
convicted and sentenced to six months' im-
prisonment. While he was in jail the pub-
lic started a testimonial, partly in defiance
of the government, and partly because it was
tolerably well known that Mr Sullivan was
not rich. The coUect.on had reached about
$350 when news of it reached Mr. Sullivan.
He instantly discountenanced the proceed-
ings, and w- en he was liberated, as he was
at the end of two-thirds of his term, he hand-
ed over the bulk of the sum as the nucleus
of a subscription to set up a public statue to
Henry Grattan in Dublin. He demanded
that the movement should be free of all par-
ty spirit or enterprise, and that no further
mention of his name should be made. The
money came in rapidly from all quarters,
from men of all sorts and conditions, con-
servatives, liberals, radicals, nationalists and

Irishmen of the peaceful order. Foley un-
dertook the commission, and beautiful is his
execution.

The figure and pedestal are about twenty-
four feet high ; the former ten and the latter
fourteen. Grattan is arrayed in the coat of
a country gentleman ; his left hand holds
the breast-collar, while the right is raised
high in air, as though he were in the very
tempest of passion. His face is lighted up
with enthusiasm and his classic features are
beautifully and delicately caught. The pose
is graceful and commanding, the figure
light and still majestic, the whole portraying
enthusiasm and power. The statue is in
College Green, and faces Trinity Col-
lege. ^

Psyche, whose two elder sisters were of
moderate beauty, was so lovely that she was
taken for Venus herself, and men dared only
to adore her as a goddess, not to love her.
This excited the jealousy of Venus, who, to
revenge herself, ordered Cupid to inspire
her with love for some contemptible wretch.
But Cupid fell in love with her himself
Meanwhile her father, dpsiring to see his
daughter married, consulted the oracle of
Apollo, which commanded that Psyche
should be conveyed, with funeral rites, to
the summit of a mountain, and there to be
left, for she was destined to be the bride of
a destructive monster, in the form of a drag-
on, feared by gods and men. With sorrow
was the oracle obeyed, and Psyche was left
alone on the desert rock, when suddenly
Zephyr hovers around her, gently raises and
transports her to a beautiful palace of the
god of love, who visits her every night, un-
seen and unknown, leaving her at the ap-
proach of day. Perfect happiness would
have been the lot of Psyche, if, obedient to
the warning of her lover, she had never been
curious to know him better. But by the ar-
tifices of her jealous sisters, whom she had
admitted to visit her, contrary to the com-
mands of Cupid, she was persuaded that she
held a monster in her arms, and curiosity
triumphed. As he slept she entered with a
lamp to examine him, and discovered the
most beautiful of the gods. In her joy and
astonishment she let a drop of the heated
oil fall upon his shoulders. Cupid awoke,
and, having reproached the astonished
Psyche for her suspicions, fled. She wan-
dered everywhere in search of her beloved,
but she had lost him. Venus kept her near
her person, treated her as a slave, and im-
posed on her the severest and most trying
tasks. Psyche would have sunk under the
burdens, had not Cupid, who still tenderly
loved her, secretly assisted her in her la-
bors-.

When Psyche was finally reunited to Cu-
pid in Olympus, her envious sisters threw
themselves from a precipice.

Hindoo dedicates flowers to his divinity, whose vari-
ous attributes they represent to his imagination ; but
it is in Turkey alone, and in the harems, that we find
this mysterious language, to which there exists noth-
ing similar among other Oriental nations. There the
language of flowers is merely the amusement of the
secluded fair ones, and a knowledge of it can only be
acquired from the slaves of the harem.

clothes at work near the entrance of the place. "Here,
old fellow, hold my horse," cried Yalensian. "Arc
the ladies at home?" said he, as the person addressed
took hold of the animal, as the rider dismounted.
" No. sir ; you will not find them at home," said the
supposed gardener. "Well, then, here's a dime for
you," said Yalensian, remounting. The money was
declined, and the student rode away, utterly ignorant
of the reason why he did not find the la ies in, which
he afterward suspected, when he learned that his con-
versation had been with the author-fanner himself.

—Bellini' ashes are not, it appears, to be allowed to
rest in peace at Puteaux, but are to be removed to
Italy, the municipality of Naples havi ig voted a suffi-
cient sum to defray the expenses.

—Mr. John Chatterson, of English opera fame, has
been singing in London for three years past, but is
studying at present, and his maestro, Sangiovanni,
predicts for him a brilliant career.

— Alexander Dumas is reported to be very wealthy.
His gallery of pictures alone is estimated to be worth
$100,000. His play " Le Demi. Monde," brought him
$70,000, and he has refused $20,000 for the copyright
to his new play, " L'Etrangere." He owns the house
he lives in, worth $20,000. and a country house which
could not be bought for $10,000.

—Sir Walter Scott is said to have written or dictated
the whole of " The Bride of Lammermoor " in a mor-
bid condition of body and under so intensely concen-
trated an excilem'ent of mind that he could not recall
writing any part of the story as his own afterward,
and heard it as if it w^e all new to him.

—A few mots from Dumas' "I'Etrangcre ; " When

be the same. The professions that demand talent are
only the resource for poor devils. Love is physic,
marriage chemistry. Hazard does not exist; it is the
God of the ignorant. To love is nothing, to make love
everything. The wife's native land is the country
where she loves.

—Prof. Crook, of London, has actually succeeded in
weighing the light of a candle, although light has
hitherto been consideied imponderable. The princi-
ple of his delicate and complicated instrument is based
on the fact that a fine thread of glass, suspended at
one end, may be turned round twenty or thirty tin'es
without breaking, and has a tendency to untwist itself.
By fastening such a thread in a tube, and throwing a
ray of light on the interior, it has been found possible,
with the aid of other scientific appliances, to register
the revoluiions and tensions caused by the introduc-
tion of the light of a caudle into the tub., the result of
which is that it weighs about 0,001728, or nearly two
thousandth part of a grain. Taking this as an approx-
imate starting point, we find that the light thrown out
by the sun on the earth is equal to about thirty-two
grains per square foot, or fifly-seven tons to the square
mile, or 3.000,000,000 tons on the whole carlh a force
that, but for gravation, would drive onr planet into

Shei\man Sr Wyde's Musical Reyi

It is acknowledged by the the Musical Press, the
Profession, and all the Great Artists, that the

Prices as Reasonable and Terms as Easy as con-
sistent with Thorough Workmanship.

Mr. Weber believes that the American public are ever
ready and willing to pay a fair price for a superior article.
He is, therefore, not afraid to a<ld real improvements, even
if they enhance the cost of the instrument to the purchaser.
He has proceeded upon the principle that the very best pos-
sible instrument is really the cheapest, and the result has
been an

Increase in the Sale of the Weber Pianos in the
past two years,

Unparalleled in the records of piano-forte manufacture in

this country. This is easily accounted for when the above
facts are taken into consideration, together with the fact that
the

WEBER PIANO

Has become the favorite instrument of all our great artists,
and is used in public by most of the great

SHERMAN 4 HYDE'S MUSICAL REVIEW,
San Fbancisco, Cal.

CIRCULATION, 5,000.

GILMORE'S BAND.

The musical event of the season has
been the series of concerts given at the
Mechanics' Pavilion by this thoroughly
trained hand of artists. On the evening
of the 1.5th ult, the music store of Sher-
man & Hyde was illuminated in honor of
their arrival. They were escorted to
their hotel by a military band, and
thousands of our citizens were present to
welcome them to our coast. The series
comprised nightly performances for two
weeks, at the Pavilion, and a Saturday
matinee at Woodward's Gardens. In
every piece, the unsurpassed ability of
Mr. P. S. Gilmore as a director,
was seen and felt, and the perfect
time of the various instrumentalists
was as worthy of note as their bril-
liant execution. Many of the works
performed were of the most difficult
character. The "Rhapsodic Hongroise"
by Lizst was so finely arranged and giv-
en with such expression, that it never
failed to call forth the most enthusiastic
plaudits. The overture to J)er Freisc-
hut~, William Tell, Semirainide, Stra-
della and Oberon, and selections from
Martha, IJ" Africa ine, Rijjoletto, Le Pro-
]>/iete, TuiDihauner and other operas,
were almost as popular, and were played
with ecjual skill and finish. The Centen-
nial Quadrille, comprising the airs of all
nations, was also a decided success.
Their repertoire was so extensive that
none but favorite pieces were repeated.
The Brazilian Emperor, Dom Pedro,
favored the audience with his presence
on two occasions, and the Brazilian
National Hymn was given in his honor.

The two cornet soloists, Messrs. J.
I-ovy and M. Arbuckle, are both mag-
nificent players, but the former is superi-
or to the latter in the more intricate

compositions. However, the execution
of both is far beyond that of other fine
performers upon this instrument, which
is capable of surprising eft'ects. The
audiences were in every instance loud in
their applause and obtained frequent
encores. Mr. E. A. Lefebre gave pa-
thetic solos upon the saxophone, whose
melodious tones were prized next to
those of the cornet. The trombone is
considered a harsh instrument, but the
execution of the soloist, Mr. F. Letsch,
was smooth and agreeable. The flute
and picolo soloist, Mr. F. Braoht, played
with much expression ; and several
gentlemen gave upon other instruments
solo jiassages in the concerted pieces of
the band.

Miss Emma C. Thursby, the distin-
guished vocalist who is one of the mark-
ed attractions of these concerts, is equal-
ly at home in classical arias, operatic
selections and ballads. Her voice has
less volume than that of some vocalists
who have visited this coast, notably the
late lamented Parepa Posa, but in clear-
ness, evenness, and flexibility, it has sel-
dom been equaled. Her enunciation is
simply perfect, and she excels in the ex-
pression of sentiment, particularly in
such songs as " The Last Rose of Sum-
mer." Her finished execution is cer-
tainly remarkable in the Polonaise from
Mif/non, and in the aria "Let the Bright
Seraphim." No severer test could be
ap])lied, than to sing in that immense
building, which would certainly render
indistinct the delicate intonations of any
but the most penetrating voice. Her
l)rilliant triumph under such difficulties
is most gratifying, and the earnestness of
her recalls showed the appreciation of
the audience. The performances of
this justly celebrated band were a great
musical success, and in spite of the
numerous other attractions, their audi-
ences were generally very large. This
was especially true of the concert on the
^<Sth ult, for the benefit of the accom-
plished leader, in which the Handel &
Haydn Society, under the directicm of
Mr. John P. Mo;-gan, participated with
fine effect. The band returned East on
the 30th ult.

BALDWIN'S ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

This fine theatre has been engaged for
two weeks, from the 15th inst. to three
renowned prestidigitateurs, Messrs. Kel-
ler, Connard and Donaldson, who will
favor our citizens with their novel and
surprising performances. Mr. John H.
Hunter of this city, well known in dra-
matic circles, is their agent and treasur-
rer. At the close of their engagement,
this company will visit the principal
cities of this State and Nevada, on their
wav to Salt Lake City and the East.

grammes for musical entertainmeutB, at the office of

TANNHAUSER.

This brilliant opera by AVagner was
most efi'ectively presented at Wade's
Opera House on the 8th and 15th ults.,
by the Fabbri Opera Company, to close
their season. The contest of singers in
the second act was most spirited.

Mr. Theodore Habelmann had an ex-
cellent oportuninty for superior singing
and acting, and Mr. Jacob Muller,
Madame Inez Fabbri and Mile. Anna
Elzer all did themselves justice. The
secondary jjarts were well taken, the
scenery and costumes were all that could
be desired, and the orchestra and chorus
were good. This company has never
presented a better opera, and we hope it
may hereafter be repeated.

The opera of Lucrezia Borgia was
subsequently given, at which the Brazil-
ian Emperor was present.

MRS. MINNIE READE,
This talented lady, to whom reference
has heretofore been made in our col-
umns, has been singing in Turkey and
Italy under the professional name of Eda
Morani, and will return to this country
in a few months and make her first ap-
pearance in opera in San Francisco,
which will be her future residence. Mrs.
Reade is an American lady, wife of
Philip Reade, U. S. A., now in charge
of the military telegraph line in this
State and Arizona. The excellent repu-
tation which Mrs. Reade has won as an
operatic artist, and the many personal
friends she has on this coast, will ensure
her a most cordial welcome in our musi-
cal circles. The glowing accounts of her
success which we have seen in European
journals, lead us to expect a series of
rare impersonations, which our San
Francisco audiences will duly appreciate.

THE McGIBENY FAMILY.
This family, which is now giving
musical entertainments through the city,
and State, comprises Prof. J.B. and Mrs.
McGibeny and their six children, the
youngest only three years old. The
children are good singers, and play very
well upon the violin, and bass-viol ; and
the youngest keeps correct time upon
the triangle. The merit and novelty of
these concerts have attracted large audi-
ences in this State and Oregon. Prof.
McGibeny is an elocutionist of fine repu-
tation, and was formerly Professor of
Elocution in a college in Minnesota.
This family have lately resided in Ore-
gon, but intend to make an extensive
musical tour, and we hope they may be
everywhere successful.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Lincoln Primary School. Concert. — .\t
Piatt's Hall on the 1st 'nst, a literary and
musical entertainment w.is given by tlie pu-
pils of the Lincoln Primar.y School, on Bry-
ant street near Sixth, for fhe laudable pur-
pose of purchasing a piano for the use of
the school. The programme was unusually
long, but most of the numbers were brief,
and owing to excellent management, no time
was lost between the various numbers. The
literary exercises were under the direction
of the principal, Miss Kate Sullivan, and
were remarkably meritorious for pupils of
their ages, from fourth to eighth grades.
The principal and her assistants have long
been distinguished for ability and efHeiency
in their school, and as a result, this enter-
tainment was of a most interesting character.
Recitations were given by Misses Kate Har-
rington, Ora Polk, Adele Morse, Lillian
Linekin, May Jones, Belle Livingston,
Mamie Brewer, Belle Simon, Lizzie Brew-
er, May Keeler, Susie Kirby, Georgie Lee,
Emma Denhardt, Carrie Garrison and Fan-
ny Michaelson — and Masters Bartlett and
Black ; also a dialogue by Misses Hughes
and Clark.

In addition, the boys of Miss Christine
Hart's and Miss Stuart's classes, and the
girls ofMiss G. Garrison's and Miss Pauline
Langstadter's classes, gave separate class
recitations with pleasing effect. '* The Blue
and Gray" was finely recited by Misses An-
nie Hucks' and Miss Christine Hart's clas-
ses i and the recitation and tableaux, Wash-
ington's Dream, was given by Miss Jordan's
class. In all the recitations, the pupils spoke
with a distinctness and emphasis which
evinced at once good native talent and thor-
ough training. The girls of Miss Hucks'
class, and the boys of Miss Hart's class,
each gave exhibitions of calisthenics which
far exceeded any other exercises of the kind
we have ever seen, and which were greeted
with the hearty applause of the audience.
It w'as generally conceded that the girls sur-
passed the boys, although both were worthy
of high praise. The benefit of such class
exercises can scarcely be estimated.

The musical numbers of the programme
were quite equal to the other features. Un-
der the superior musical instruction of Miss
Ella A. Lamb, assisted by the principal and
teachers, this school has become justly cele-
brated for its proficiency. On this occasion,
the singing was efBciently conducted by
Miss Lamb, who played the piano accom-
paniments. The fourth and fifth grades
taught by Miss M. L. Jordan, Mrs. M.Steele
and Miss Annie Hucks gave several songs
in beautiful style, and Misses Hucks' and
Hart's classes gave a song "The Workers"
in costume, accompanied by appropriate
acting. Miss Bertha and Master Josie
Clark, gave the song "Reuben <fe Rachel" in
costume, and Miss Lizzie Ayers gave a vocal

solo, and both were excellent. Miss Jennie
Tcmplenian executed a graceful shadow
dance.

The closing number of the programme
was "Crowning the May Queen," a most
elaborate and finished performance in cos-
tume. Miss Ida Hughes was the May
Queen and Miss Lillian Linekin the
Fairy Queen, and the other leading charac-
ters were taken by Misses Dolly .Sroufe,
Kate Harrington, Belle Jones, Frankie Hop-
kins, Mamie Hermans and May Keeler.
The dancing sprites were Misses Lillie Lang-
stadter, Cora Babcox and Daisy Winans.
Several songs were charmingly rendered,
and vocal solos were interspersed among the
recitations, among which those of Miss
Linekin were agreeably conspicuous. The
crowded audience listened with unwearied
interest to tlie close, and the entertainment
was a most complete success in every re-
spect.

Mrs. L. S. Marrineu's Concert. — .4.
Complimentary Farewell Concert was tend-
ered to Mrs. L. S. Marriner, previous to her
departure for Europe, by her friends, on the
13th ult., at the Howard Presbyterian
Church on Mission street. A very large au-
dience greeted this estimable lady, at the
church in which she has so long been the
soprano, and the programme was one of un-
common interest. Mrs. Marriner has evi-
dently been overworking, as appeared in her
first selection ; but slie soon recovered her-
self, and we cannot tOo warmly commend
the spirit and expression with which she
sang in the two duets, "Alter Bergen Gip-
fel" and "Carlo Muojo." The audience de-
manded encore pieces on each appearance,
which were equally well executed. Mrs.
Marriner goes to Europe to complete her
musical studies, and will bear with her the
kind wishes and earnest hopes of our com-
munity.

Miss Clara Beutler gave the song "Let me
Dream again" with the pure intonation for
which she is distinguished, and also assisted
Mrs. Marriner in a duet. Mrs. J. M. Pierce,
soprano of the Plymouth Church choir, was
particularly good in the comic duet, "The
Singing Lessons" with Mr. W. C. Campbell,
and the latter was in fine voice and sang his
parts excellently in two duets. Mr. Joseph
Maguire gave a ballad with the fine expres-
sion for which he is conspicuous ; and Mr.
Benjamin Clark's "Serenade" song by Balfe
was decidedly well rendered. The Amphi-
ons sang two quartettes, and with Mr. Sam-
uel D. Mayer, the quintette. Break of Morn
by Abt. This club deservedly wins applause
on all occasions.

Prof. George T. Evans, organist of this
church, opened the concert with a brilliant
overture by Reissiger, and Miss F. A. Dil-
laye gave a piano solo in the faultless style
which characterizes all her attempts. Messrs
George F. Evans, Otto Linden and H. O.
Hunt acted as accompanists on the Weber

Grand Piano. This concert was a complete
musical and financial success, and a gratify-
ing tribute to the worth and talent of the
beneficiary.

Prof. G. A. .Scott's Musical Soiree. — A.
musical entertainment of unusual excel-
lence was given to invited guests, by Prof.
Gustav A. Scott, at his residence on the 17th
ult. The opening overture "William Tell,"
for two pianos and other instruments, was
given with uncommon spirit by Misses Eu-
genie Rosenheim, Grace Smith, Carrie Meyer
and Fannie Meyers, assisted by Messrs Rob-
ert Uhlig, violin,'Hildebrand cello, and Ch.
J. J. Smith ftute. The leading part was
elegantly performed by Miss Rosenheim,
and each of the parts were above the ordi-
nary standard. A difficult trio by Reissiger
for piano, violin and cello, was given by
Miss Fannie Meyers and Messrs Uhlig and
Hildebrand, in a style so finished as to elicit
lively encomiums, and constitute it one of
the leading features of the evening. A fan-
tasia from Norma on the Weber Grand and
Weber Square pianos, by Misses Grace
ilarsh and Carrie Meyer, was a most happy
selection, and displayed the sparkling exe-
cution of these performers to flue advantage.
Chopin's "Polonaise in C minor" and
"Marche Funebre" were exceedingly well
rendered by Miss Kate Sinclair, who is a
most promising young pianist. Mr. Sam.
Fabian gave Beethoven's 'Moonlight' senate
with an e.\pression remarkable for so young
a performer. Signor Ferrer, the unrivaled
guitar player, gave an exquisite solo, and
Miss Mathilde Valerga, a pupil of Signor
Padovani, charmed the audience with her
violin solo, a fantasia from Martha.

The vocal numbers of the programme were
equally distinguished for superior merit.
Mr. Theodore Habelmann, gave the aria
"Adelaide" in his best manner. Miss Annie
Elzer sang a rondo from Rossini and with
Miss Belle Greenberg, Mendelssohn's popu.
lar duet, "I would that my love." Miss
Elzer's thorough operatic culture was most
evident in her expressive rendering of these
pieces ; and Miss Greenberg acquitted her-
self in a manner as highly creditable, as in
her instrumental efforts on previous occa-
sions. Mr. and Miss F. Hawkins sang a
most agreeable duet; while a delightful sur-
prise was given the guests by the fine vocal
execution of Miss Cecilia Langstadter, who
made her first appearance at these soirees in
Mattel's "Non e ver," and it was the uni-
versal feeling that her voice ought to receive
tlie most complete culture.

The pianists of this occasion are all Prof.
Scott's pupils, and ho is justly proud of their
achievements. The uncommon merit of
this soiree was a subject of much comment
among the guests ; and we are certainly very
seldom favored with either a soiree or a pub-
lic concert of equal interest. After the mu-
sic, elegant refreshments were .served, fol-
lowed by dancing and social conversation.

Sherman &■ Wyde's Musical Review.

Prof. Scott h.is tlio hap])}' faculty of nuiking
his friends feel perfectly at home; and it is
this unrestrained social feeling that makes a
soiree more enjoyable than a concert, even
though the musical accomplishment he the
same.

•Skxoh M. Y. Fkkrkr's Concert. — .Vt
Pacilic Hall on the 27th wit., Senor M. Y.
Ferrer gave a concert which was one of the
musical features of the season. Senor Fer-
rer, who has long been distinguished as the
must brilliant guitar soloist on this coast,
gave two pieces, each of which was honored
with a double recall. His arrangement of
"Elisir d'Amore " was composed expressly
for this occasion, and both that and his
"Chant Boheniienne" charmed theaudience,
who were verj' reluctant to have him cease
playing. Senor S. Arrillaga was sparkling
as usual in his piano solo, "Grand Polon-
aise" by Chopin. Mr. Louis Schmidt, Jr.,
who has of late seldom appeared in public,
played a violin solo, "Chant de Russe" so
elegantly as to show thorough practice since
he returned from Europe.

Miss Clara Beutler sang two solos, one
of which, Braga's ".Serenade," was especial-
ly observable for clearness and beauty of
expression. Mr. Charles W. Dungan did
well in his vocal solo and better still in his
encore piece. Messrs. Clara and Ida Beut-
ler and Mr. J. E. Tippett give a most satis-
factory trio; and the same participants ap-
peared in other numbers of the fine pro-
gramme. The Zither solo of Mr. Franz
Leauhoduy was exceedingly well played and
encored. This concert was largely attended
in spite of the numerous other attractions
on that evening.

Madame Waldow Cohen's Concert. —
Mme. Cohen favored our citizens with an
excellent concert on the 24th ult., assisted by
eminent talent. This lady appeared in a
good trio with Messrs. F. Buch, violin, and
Julius Hinrichs, cello. Her first piano solo,
a fantaisie on The H-iiguenots, was an un-
fortunate selection, but "La Danza" by
Lizst fully compensated the audience, who
loudly applauded herbrilliantexecution, and
secured an encore. Mr. Geo. T. Evans gave
with Messrs Buch and Hinrichs, a fine in-
strumental trio. Mr. Hinrich's cello solo was
really admirable in expression. Miss Ivy
Wandesforde appeared in two arias, in the
last of which, by Proch, her notes were
clear, bird-like and well sustained, and won
a deserved encore. Signer and Signora Bian-
chi gave two duos, the last of which, "Quest
Addio" was most smoothly and etfectivcly
rendered and heartily encored. Mr. Jacob
Muller gave two songs with that strength of
expression for which he is noted in the opera.
Neither the selections nor the execution of
the first ]iart of the programme was at all com-
parable to that of the second part, although
given by the same artists. The second part
was a gratifying success, and the audience
was large andvery appreciative.

E.\sTER Praise Service. — At the First
Congregational Church the quarterly Praise
Service was given on the evening of Easter
Sunday, 16th ult. The regular choir on this
occasion were assisted by a second quartette,
comprising Mrs. S. D. Mayer, soprano; Mrs.
L. L. Baker, alto ; Mr. G. Kendall, tenor,
and Dr. C. E. Holbrook, basso ; and the
singing, always superior on these occasions,
was actually above the usual mark. The
opening piece, following the organ volun-
tary, was Gloria Patri, arranged by Mr. S.
D. Mayer from "Inflaraatus," "Stabat Ma-
ter." "Chi-ist our Passover is Sacrificed for
us," included good solos by Mrs. Lizzie P.
Howell and Mr. J. W. Y'arndley. The
Offertorium by Geo. Wm. Warren, with
flute obligato, contained a sparkling solo by
Mrs. Howell, and a fine duet by Mrs. Howell
and Mrs. R. H. Brown.

But the most impressive piece of the oc-
casion was "Xow is Christ Risen," also by
Warren, produced for the first time in this
city. Mrs. Howell's solo in this piece, "The
Sting of Death is Sin," was a gem of vocili-
zation, and Mr. Mayer's solo, "Behold I
Show you a Mystery," was conspicuous for
purity of intonation.

The familiar tunes Webb, Greenville,
Martyn, Coronation and America, were sung
with inspiring effect by the immense con-
greation, accompaned by the organ and
four brass instruments. We regret to state
that Rev. Dr. Stone was unable on account
of illness to be present and address the con-
gregation. Rev. C. G. Warren conducted the
devotional exercises.

Grace Church Easter Service. — On
Sunday morning, 17th ult., an Easter service
of remarkable merit was held at Grace
Church. The music was under the direction
of Mr. Alfred Kelleher, the tenor of the ex-
cellent choir. The other members of this

riuer. This most superior musical service
was listened to with the closest attention by
as large an audience as the church could hold,
and every part of it was devotional in the
highest sense.

Musical Fund.Societv Concert. — On the
I7th ult., at Woodward's Gardens, a grand
Concert was given by the S. F. Musical Fund
Society, comprising 150 musicians, both
string and military bands. This immense
orchestra was admirably handled by the
conductor, Mr. R. Herold, and the pro-
gramme was well arranged. The playing
was superior and quite uniform in merit;
the overture to Der J^reischutz, selections
from Lcs Huguenots, a waltz by Strauss; aLso
Jungmann's "Harp .Sounds" with solos for
french horn and strings, the former by Ern-
est Schlott, being noticeable for brilliancy of
execution. The spacious pavilion was
crowded, and the audience evidently en-
joyed the entertainment. This society is en-
titled to great credit for their excellent in-
strumentation.

Plymouth Church Entertainment. —
On the 14th ult., the Plymouth Congrega-
tional Church, Rev. T. K. Noble, Pastor,
gave the first of a series of monthly musi-
cal and social entertainments, which was
very successful in all respects. From the
well arranged programme, we selecf the fol-
lowing as being conspicuous for excellent
expression and fine execution : "Down the
burn, Davy love," soprano solo by Mrs. J,
M.Pierce; "Dream of Home," tenor solo
by Prof. G. W. Jackson; duet, " Come where
the mists are sleeping," Mrs. J. M. Pierce
and Miss S. A. Rightmire; quartette, "Let
those Sounds," by Mrs. Pierce, Miss Right-
mire, Prof. G. W. Jackson and Mr. Munson
Russell. This quartette choir is making
most satisfactory progress, and the apprecia-

,,^ . , ..... ,, . tive congregation will welcome these month

well trained quartettechoirare, soprano, Mrs. I ly festivals

Ella K. White; alto, Miss Anna Patterson ;

basso, Mr. Jacob Stadtfeld. On this occasion
they were assisted by Mrs. L. S. Marriner, so-
prano ; Mr. Charles Pflueger, tenor; Mr. Jos-
eph Maguire, tenor ; Mr. R. Jansen, bas.so ;
and a fine chorus of twenty-five voices. The
orchestra of ten musicians was ably led by
Mr. Ernest Schlott.

A Prelude by Gounod, and the voluntary
"Tannhauser March" by Wagner, were
finely rendered by the organist and or-
chestra. " Cilorio Tibi" and two "Gloria
Patris" by Danks, "Gloria in Excelsis,"
from Mozart's 12th Mass, and Old Hundred,
were sung tiy the choir. The balance of the
programme was as follows : Easter Anthem,
by Danks ; solo by Mrs. White. Te Deuni,
by Ward; solo by Mrs. White; solos by Mrs.
White, and Messrs Stadtfeld and Jansen, and
French horn solo by Mr. Schlott. Jubilate,
chorus and duett, Mrs. Marriner and Mr.
.Stadtfeld. Anthem, "Praise the Lord, O !
my Soul!" by Garrett ; chorus, and solo by
Mr. Maguire. Offertory, solo by Mrs. Mar-

MissioN LiTEB.\RY Union. — This Society
gave on the 4th inst, at the Third Congre-
gational Church, the cantata, "Ruth the
Moabitoss," under the direction of Dr. T.
Crosett. The soloists of the occasion were
Mrs. C. W. Tozer and Mrs. C. R. Worrell,
sopi-ano ; Mrs. B. Bruce Lee and Miss Jen-
nie W. Maurer, mezzo-soprano ; Mrs. .V. T.
Ruthraufl', contralto ; Mr. Henry Nei-
man, tenor ; Mr. Wilson Edwards,
baritone ; and Messrs. Joseph Red-
ding and Ruthrautt', basso. The chorus
comprised eighteen vocalists, and some of
the parts were rendered in a very spirited
manner. The piano accompaniments were
very well played, and the occasion was one
of interest to the large audience.

Shei\man &• t^YDE'S Musical JIeview,

Calvary Church Concert. — On the 4tli
inst. at Calvary Church, an excellent liter-
ary and musical entertainment was given.
Senor M. Y. Ferrer, Prof. Homeier, Messrs.
Deal, Meyers, Callingham, Dully, the Arion
Quartette and other able talent participated.
A lively domestic sketch was produced, called
" The Obstinate Family;" with the follow-
ing cast : "Mr. Marston,'' Mr, E. McD.
.Johnstone; "Mrs. Marston," Miss Cathella
Adams; "Henry Harford," Mr. G. Peck ;
"Jessie Harford," Miss Annie Vanderslice ;
" James," Mr. J. B. Farrish ; "I^ucy," Miss
Flora .Sherman. The entire programme was
voi-y intere.sting, and wa.s appreciated l)y a
large audience.

Christ Church Concert. — At Pacific
Hall on the 27th ult., a concert was given l)y
the choir of Christ Church, at which Mrs.
Sampson Williams, whose vocal achieve-
ments we have heretofore noticed, was the
principal participant. The following pieces
were given by this lady; "Venzano Waltz,"
Galop Rondo by Gunsport, "Robert toi que
J'.Vime" from the opera Robert le Diablc, and
".Sing, Sweet Bird." Mrs. Williams is a pu-
pil of Prof. G. Nathanson, and we can trace
a marked improvement since her last public
appearance. We understand she is studying
tlie part of Selika in "L'Africaine," and we
hope soon to have the pleasure of seeing her
in that enchanting opera.

Concert at Vallejo. — A concert was
given in the Methodist Church at Vallejo,
on the 21st ult., under the direction of Mr.
Frank L. Carlton, with Miss Katie Halsey
as pianist. They were assisted by Mrs. F.
L. Carlton. Misses May S. Halsey, Gracie
Plaisteil, Jennie E. McWilliams, Messrs. G.
F. Mallett and Nat Brown, and Master Joe
Russ, also of Vallejo, Miss R. M. Stacy,
Prof. A. M. Packard and C. T. Urmy of the
Napa Collegiate Institute, Miss Fowler of
Napa, and Mrs. J . M. Pierce of San Francis-
co. Tlie concert was of high order and very
well attended. Miss Stacy rendered "Amer-
ica" by Kuhc with skill, beside singing two
fine solos. Miss Fowler sang "Good Night
my Sweet" and "Judith," the latter with
great force and expression, and Prof. Pack-
aid showed much ability in executing "Fan-
tasia on Theme Allmand" and singing in the
trio, "Go to the one whom I adore." Mr.
and Mrs. Carlton, Mr. Mullett and Miss
McWilliams, who form the choir of M. E.
('luirch, gave the quartette, "Come Rise
witli the Lark," with fine etlect and were
loudly encored. Misses Hal.sey and Plaist-
ed beautifully rendered, "Guarda die bianca
Lima," and the last mentioned young lady
sang "When the Flowing Tide comes in"
and when re-called delighted the audience
with "When my Ship comes in." It was
reserved for Mrs. J. M. Pierce, of tlie Taylor
Street Congregational Church clioir to give
zost to the concert by rendering in her cul-
tivated style, "The Lover and the Bird,"
and 'Tender and True,' and she was re-called

after eacli song. Clarence T. Urmy played
with ease and precision "Overture to Tan-
credi" with Miss Stacy, and Ma.ster Russ, 9
years of age, showed remarkable power in
playing a passage from "II Trovatore" en-
tirely by ear. The concert, which was j^ro-
nounced a fine success, closed with " W'll
have to Mortgage the Farm," presented in
the best manner liy the Vallejo singers.

A DOLLAR OR TWO.

TrNE— " The Laird uX'L>eki>eu."

I have traveled long journeyB on land and on sen,
With loving eompauiouB both jovial and fref;
But I n^'er found a friend or companion Ho true.
As the friend that I found in a dollar ^or two.

A man may look seedy, with garments well worn,
HiB hat maybe shabby, his boots maybe torn ;
But his hat and his boots he can always renew,
If his pockets are lined with a dollar or two.

When stocks are all booming, and fortunes are mat
By a stroke of good luck or a fortunate trade, —
The chance of a life may be forfeited through
The unfortunate lack of a dollar or two.

When business is dull, and when work is ill paid.
To the knights of the quill or the men of the spade
They can laugh at bad luck though they've nothing to do,
If their pursi

J tilled with a dollar or two.

Sweet music hath charms that can soothe us to rest.
Transporting our Bouls to the realmB of the blest, —
But the charmingest music that ever I knew,
Was the silvery chime of a dollar or two.

Waw-tell or Wachtel or whatever's his name
Is blown though the world by the trumpet of fame ;
Hut that famous "high C" he would seldom couBtruc,
If it were not sustained by a dollar or two.

The sages may preach of the blessedness Bent,
With poverty sweetened by patient content ;
But as matters of fact there are surely but few.
Who would rather choose nought, than a dollar or two.

Sweet "love in a cottage" is all very well.
For spooney young lovers their sweethearts to tell ;
But Cupids for housekeepers never will do.
Unless mother-in-law helps with a dollar or two.

Then take this advice as you journey through life.
Young man and young maiden, young husband and wife ;
Take care of the dimes, and you'll find it come true.
You will never be short of a dollar or two.

OUR CONTRIBUTORS.

[We frequently have articles sent to us, in criticism Of
concerts, and have decided to give a column or more
every month to such contributions. We therefore in-
vite the public to Bend us condensed and temperate
articles upon subjects of interest to the musical world,
and shall, of course not hold ourselves responsible for
any sentiment contained therein.]

The Musical Service at Trinity Church
was one of special interest, and was very
finely rendered under tlie direction of Mr.
John P. Morgan, (organist and choirmaster
of this church). Following is the order of
service :j

1 — Opening Hymn, "Jesus Christ is Risen
to-day." 2 — Anthem, "Christ our Pass-
over," Chappie. 3 — Gloria Patri, No. 1
(Chant,) Turner; Gloria Patri, Nos. 2 and 3
(Chant), Haydn. 4 — Te Deum, "Fe tivai in
D," Buck. 5 — Jubilate, Hauptman. (i —
Hymn, "Old Hundred." 7— Gloria Tibi.
8— .\iithem, "Christ is Risen," Thorne. 9—
Offertory, "Lift up your Heads," Handel.

The choir consisted of the following well
known church singers :

.Soprano — Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Van Brunt,
Miss Bueh and Miss Post; Alto — Mrs. John
Trehaiie, Mrs. Swett and Mrs. Clark ; Tenor
— Mr. D. P. Hughes, Mr. John Trehane,
Mr. Nichols, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Clark ;
Basso — Mr. Harris, Mr. Hall and Mr.
French. Besides the organ, the choir was
accompanied by nine wind instruments, one
flute, two clarionets, oneba.ssoon, two horns,
two cornets, one trombone. Mr. Morgan
himself presided at the organ and scored the

service for orchestra. Mr. Jesse Williams
acted as conductor.

The choral effects were very fine, showing
careful training — the attack being specially
firm and clear; the tenor solo of Mr. John
Trehane in the opening anthem, was a rare
treat; we always listen with pleasure to this
accomplished singer, but in this pathetic
solo he seemed fairly to outdo himself. Mr.
Hughes the tenor of Trinity choir sang most
exquisitely his solo in the Te Deum. Mr.
Harris also made fine effect with his solos,
his powerful voice having a very telling ef-
fect in this large church. The other solos
were up to the usual standard. Mrs. Tre-
hane singing the bits of alto solo throughout
in licr usual artistic manner.

Mr. Morgan took as usual his theme for
oiiciiing and closhig voluntary from the pro-
cessional and recessional hymns (in the reg-
ular service), the proper prelude and post-
lucle for a church service. Mr. Morgan is a
thorough church man (musically at least),
and one of those "classical cusses" who play
citiircli music in a chui'ch service, and seem
utterly devoid of that kind of "worldly wis-
dom," wliich would degrade a noble art (to
.say nothing of religion), for the sake of
"stamps" and a na.sty popularity — in a word
he follows reverently after Bach, not Offal-
bach. A.

Blind Tom's Concerts. — One of the mu-
sical wonders of the age. Blind Tom, gave a
series of concerts at Piatt's Hall, in this city,
commencing on the 17th ult. Tliis remark-
able character, whose listless and foolish
motions are so conspicuous, is really an e.x-
([uisite pianist. On one occasion he gave
Liszt's Wedding March, Gott.schalk's Sere-
nade, and Thalberg's Elisir d'Amoie, and
liis execution won ardent applause from tlie
audience. His imitations of the Music Box,
Scotch Bagpipes and Harp, are excellent.
One of the finest novelties is his playing of
Yankee Doodle with the left hand and Fish-
er's Hornpipe with the right. A marked
evidence of his genius, was his fine render-
ing of a piece of music entirely new to him,
after it had been played by a gentleman in
the audience. Among his vocal selections
were "Coining Thro' the Rye" and "Rocked
in the Cradle of tlie Deep." These were
good, but not equal to his instrumental per-
formances. There are various theories con-
cerning Blind Tom's musical powers, one is
tliat they are entirely inspirational. Be tliat
as it niay, the merit of his achievements
cannot be denied. B. Shr.vfl.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.

These springs are situated in Napa county,
two miles from St. Helena, and hold a
prominent position as a summer re.sort, both
on account of their easy access to San Fran-
cisco and the beautiful scenery, fine climate,
and reputation of the waters.

The hotel is well kept; Mr. S. Alstrom,
the proprietor, is well known and need not
be complimented here. The writer has visi-
ted all our summer resorts, and could find
none equal to this. The waters are beneficial
in cases of rheumatism, and numerous
other afflictions. There are nine of the
springs and the quantity of sulphur in the
waters, for medical purposes is fully equal to
that of the celebrated sulphur waters in
Europe.

There are now about seventy-five guests at
the hotel, all of whom speak in praise of
the place. The new Weber Piano which is
on the way to the hotel will be another at-
tracliuii, as dancing is indulged in twice a
week, and many of the visitors are people
of cultivated musical taste. F. R. G.

LONDON LETTER.

London, April .5tli, 1S76.

DearRkview: — There was unusual in-
terest niaiiifesteil in Mr. Baelie's twelfth an-
nual enncert, on the li-ltii of February, ow-
inj;, no doubt, to tlie fact of the performance
of the Alilie Liszt's oratorio. The Legend of
St. Elizabeth, ior\.\\e fiTsi time in English;
really I do not think that the greater portion
of those who went that evening will feel
particularly grieved if they never hear it
again. Nothing but praise could be said of
the way in which it was executed, both cho-
rus and orchestra doing all they possibly
could with a most ungrateful task ; the solos
were well sung by Signor Federici, an ex-
cellent baritone, and Airs. Osgood, a lad}' from
Boston, who possesses an agreeable soprano
and who is studying here under Signor
Bandegger ; and less important solos were
sung by Mr. Wharton and Thurley Beale.

A portion of the legend, as presented in
this so-called oratorio, may be interesting to
your readers. St. Elizabeth, daughter of
King Andreas of Hungary, was born in
1207, and at four years of age, was taken to
Tliuringia, as the alKanced bride of Ludwig,
son of the Landgrave Hermann. When
they married she was exceedingly good to
the poor, and one day carrying some bread
and wine she met Ludwig, and in answer to
his questions said she had roses in her bask-
et. He opened it and roses fell out, greatly
to their mutual astonishment. Afterwards
Ludwig went to the Holy Land and died on
his way there, the Landgravine Sophie, his
mother, turned Elizabeth out of house and
home, and she died among the poor to whom
she had been so charitable. By express per-
mission of the composer the entire scene be-
tween the Landgravine and Elizabeth was
omitted. With regard to the music I am
obliged to confess that I can see nothing in
it; the opening chorus and the chorus of
Crusaders being rather more interesting than
anything else. For the rest, Liszt has bor-
rowed part of an old hymn to St. Elizabeth
and that together with the Gregorian intona-
tion and some more bits of old hymns, are
the only things in the shape of a motive that
one can discover throughout. The hall, St.
James', was well tilled, but not many re-
mained to the end.

By command of her Majesty the Queen, a
morning concert was given on the 25tli of
February, at the Royal Albert Hall, whicli
was crowded ; among tlie performers werf
Mr. Barnby's excellent choir, a very good
orchestra, and, as solo vocalists, M'lles Alba-
ni, Thalbergand Bianchi, Mme. Patey, Sig-
nor Foli and Mr. E. Lloyd. The entertain-
ment was admirable in all respects. Her
Majesty, the Princess of Walesand the Prin-
cess Beatrice left after the tirst part of the
concert ; the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince
Leopold remaining to the end. On the 1st
ult., at the same hall, Mr. W. Carter's choir
gave a performance of the Messiah. The
principal artists were Mmes. Sherrington
and Patey, and Mr. Lloyd and Whitney;
the choruses were well sung, the famous
"Hallelujah" particularly so.

The Crystal Palace Concerts have been as
usual, very interesting. At one on the 2t)tli,
llie selections were all sacred; Mrs. Osgood
sang, and a lady, Mrs. Ware, also from Bos-
ton, made a very creditable debut. Herr
Josef Joachim made his re-appearance at
these concerts on the Ith ult., and his play-
ing of Beethoven's violin concerto and two
unaccompanied morceatix of J. S, Bach's,
were the chief features of the lino pro-
gramme. A decided attraction was present-
ed at the 2lst concert ; a pianoforte concerto
in B flat minor, (op. 21) by the Russian com-

poser, Tochaikowsky, introduced for the
tirst time to an English audience by Mr.
Dannreuther, and it met with approval. The
composer has, I understand, held the profes-
sorship of the theory of music at the Mos-
cow Conservatoire since 1S06, and his known
works are numerous.

At an Alexandra Palace Concert on the
4th, the programme contained some very in-
teresting items. Haydn's symphony in 1),
No. 7, was exceedingly well played, a new
overture, "From Sorrow to Joy," bj' H. C.
Banister, and conducted by him, the "Spring
Fantasia" of Niels W. Gade, for four solo
voices, chorus and orchestra, and by way of
contrast, Beethoven's "Choral Fantasia;"
among the vocalists were Miles Home and
.\rnin, and Messrs. Rigby and Wadmore.

Mile Krebs has given two pianoforte reci-
tals, one on the 2nd and the other on the
Uth, with her usual success, and on the first
occasion she was assisted by Miss Zimmer-
man, also an excellent pianist.

Mr. Leslie's choir gave a concert on the
•3rd, the first part of which was devoted to
Handel's music. Mme. Wynne sang "Let
the bright Seraphim," but being out of
voice it sutfered somewhat. Mme. Patey
sang two solos in a style little short of per-
fection, and Mile. Wilhelmine Gipo made
her debut before a London audience, meet-
ing a favorable reception. The Sacred Har.
monic Society gave an excellent performance
of Samsun, a"t Exeter Hall, on the 12th. The
principals were Mme. Wynne, who hardly
did herself justice, Mme. Patey, who sang
perfectly, Sig Fabrini, who acijuitted him-
self thorouglily well as the hero; Mr. Lew-
is Thomas, who was most eftective as Hara-
pha, and Mr. George Fox, as Manoah, who
was most satisfactory.

The National Training School for music at
Kensington, appears to be progressing, and
several scholarships have been won, and
Mr. Sullivan, by permission of Prof. Mac-
farren, is to be the principal. A very giiod
concert was given by the Roj'al Academy of
Music on the ISth. Mile. Vaillaint played a
violin solo exquisitely, and "Hear ye, Isra-
el" was finely sung Ijy Miss Jones. Selec-
tions from Handel's lielshazzar were given
and several pianoforte concertos were ex-
ceedingly well played.

Yours, truly, Lita Fabr.*.b.

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

Washington, D. C, April 15, '76.
Dear Review : — The Strakosch Grand
Italian Opera has recently closed a very
short but successful sea.son here, it being
the last appearance of M'lle Titiens. She
sang in two operas only, "Norma" and
"Don Giovanni." On her entrance she was
greeted with heartfelt applause. In the
recitation at the opening scene, she was lis-
tened to with rapt silence, that told how that
vast audience enjoyed her artistic rendition.
But at the close of "Casta Diva," which dis-
plays the full strength and high cultivation
of her superb voice, the applause wa.s un-
bounded. In this aria her vocalization is
marvelous, each note is so carefully and
evenly rendered, having its full weight, and
no passage is slighted. She does not exhaust
herself on "Casta Diva" to the detriment of
other parts of the opera, but as she proceeds,
she seems more and niore the perfect artist.
I'nlike other prima donnas, she sings so
naturally that it seems no exertion to render
the most difficult pas.sages. She always
keeps in view the dramatic etfect of the
opera, and never rushes to the footlight.s,
but sings her aria wherever the scene finds
her; and thiscour.se is far preferable to the
more common mode. That she is one of the

first and greatest artists in Italian opera, all
who have heard her, acknowledge.

On the second night "La Traviata" was
presented, and never in Washington in a
more acceptable manner. There was noth-
ing sensuous, as one might suppose, who has
ever seen Matilda Heron in Camille, of
which it is the lyric, yet it is in Verdi's
most florid .style, and a continual succession
of gems, which Mme Pappenheim sang
and dramatized in the finest manner, elicit-
ing the most enthusiastic applause, and
ju.stifying the high reputation she gained in
her recent tour witU Wachtel. She vas well
supported by Biignoliand Tagliapietra ; and
one almost wonders if Brignoli's voice will
ever fail. He reminds me of Edwin Forrest
in his stage stride and general appearance,
and preserves largely the melody and
sweetness of voice which was once greeted
with such perfect furore.

Tagliapietra has a pure baritone voice
joined to youth and grace, and the best of
dramatic ability, which cannot fail to place
him in the front ranks of lyric artists. The
aria of "Di Provenza" was remarkably well
rendered and won him a recall. The chorus
was fine, and the orchestra, led by Max Mar-
etzek, was as carefully shaded as if there had
been but one instrument touched by the
most skillful artLst. Max Maretzek is one of
the most genial gentleman it has ever been
my fortune to meet. One would think he
would be impatient with so much care rest-
ing upon him, but he is pleasant and atten-
tive as one could wish. He told me he in-
tended to take an opera company to San
Francisco in a few weeks : so let me con-
gratulate your citizens on their good fortune.
Yours very truly, JI.ibv B. Hosmer.

For the Mubical Review.
THE LAST OF THE CARNIVAL WALTZES.

The last of the Carnival Waltzes rang through the per-

FauB fiuttered idly to and fro, l>elow faced flushed and
fair;

The evergreen arches drooped with flags and sparkled
with 8t«rr}- light.

While the chuuging hours grew to the close of a moon-
lit summer night.

You came to my side, with your slow sweet smile that

sit my heart a-trip,
And brought, wht never I noticed it, the flushes to cheek

and hp—
'The last ..f the Carnival Waltzes— who knows hut it

may prwe
The last we shall dance together— the limit of our fond

love."
And then while my heart thrilled wildly and the warm

blood left my face.
The half smile vanished and tender love stole into its

quiet place ;
"Ah Clare, the moments are passing — There may be

another June,
But its da} swill not be set to a happier Carnival tunc."

There under the lights we circled, adown the glittering

hall.
And the chords of the harp with their magic struck

chords in the hearts ot all,
And wilder the wildnotts quivered and fell through

the throbbing air.
As we Ukiuted along their sweetness, forgetting the dawn

was there.

The liugcriug echoes fill my soul with a sad unvoiocd

regrtt,
.\nd the wild sweet notes bring memories I never can

Some lives are set to music as blithe as aMay.daymom,
Some give us a glimpse of Heaven unrealized till they

A twelve-.month later I learned to know my heaven on

exrth had passed —
Who dreamed that Carnival waltz that night would be

forever our last I

Dictionary of Musical Information.

Price, 51.25. By John W. Moore. Music, as we understand it, is as much a devel-
opment of recent times as printing is. The dictionary contains concise notices of
all the prominent musicians of the psst century, of musical events, musical theory,
etc. Indeed it is a true book of reference for all needed musical infurmution.

Moore's Encyclopedia of Music,

{2 Vols., each $1.50) , is the work of the thorough going musical professor in Vassar
College, is quite readable, and has drawn its materials from perhaps 400 musicttl
treatises.

Father Kemp's Old Folk's Concert Tunes

(40 cts.) contains, in a convenient, small volume, the ■' Pennyroyal" tunes that
were at the height of their popularity from about the year 1776 to the year 1810.
A few years ago, noticing that old people were always much excited bj this truly
original American music, " Father Kemp" and others introduced it to public
notice in costume concerts, which have become pronounced successes. Very ap-

The Great Masters in Music.

It should be especially noted that most of the music we enjoy has been created
during the life time of our country. In 1776 Bach and Handel were gone, and their
lives a recent memory. Haydu and Mozart were giving thtir matchless music to
the world, and Beethoven was a child. Paganiui was born in 17H1, Weber in 1786.
Rossini in 1792, Meyerbeer in 1794, Schubert in 1797, and Donizetti in 1799, Bellini
came on the stage in 1802, Strauss, the elder, in 1804, Mendelssohn in 1809. Schu-
mann in 1810, (the year when Haydn died) and Liszt in 1811. Many who are now
famous have still more recently appeared. One will most vividly realize the
immensity, as well as the beauty, of the productions of these celebrated men by
reading their lives and letters— not heavy reading, but, to a music-lover, intensely
interesting. Ditson * Co., publish in handsome style :

THE WILD DUCK SHOOTER.

The charity of the rich is much to he com-
mended, but how beautiful the charity of
the poor?

Call to mind the coldest day you ever ex-
perienced. Think of the bitter wind and
driving snow ; think how you shook and
shivered — how the sharp white particles
were driven up against your face — how,
within doors, the carpets were lifted like
billows along the floors, the wind howled
and moaned in the chimneys, windows
creaked, doors rattled, and every now and
then heavy lumps of snow came thundering
down with a dull weight from the roof.

Now hear my story.

In one of the broad, open plains of Lin-
colnshire, there is a long, reedy sheet of
water a favorite resort of wild ducks. At
its northern extremity stand two mud cot-
tages, old and out of repair.

One bitter, bitter night, when the snow
lay three feet deep on the ground, and a
cutting east wind was driving it about, and
whistling in the dry frozen reeds by the
water's edge, and swinging the bare willow
trees till their branches swept the ice, an
old woman sat spinning in one of these cot-
tages before a moderately cheerful fire.
Her kettle was singing on the coals; she
had a reed-candle, or home made rushlight
on her table, but the full moon shone in,
and was the brighter light of the two. These
two cottages were far from any road, or any
other habitation ; the old woman was, there-
fore, surprised, ?s she sat drawing out her
thread, and_crooning an old north-country

song, to hear a sudden knock at the door.
It was loud and impatient, not like the
knock of her neighbors in the other cot-
tage; but the door was bolted, and the old
woman rose, and shuffling to the window,
looked out, and saw a shivering figure, ap-
parently that of a youth.

"Trampers!" said the old woman, sen-
tentiously, "tramping folk be not wanted
here;" so saying, she went back to the fire
without deigning to answer the door.

The youth, upon this, tried the door and
called to her to beg admittance. She heard
him rap the snow from his shoes against
her lintel, and again knock as if he thought
she was deaf, and he should surely gain
admittance if he could only make her hear.

The qld woman, surprised at his audacity,
went to the casement, and, with all pride of
possession, opened it and inquired his
business.

"Good woman," the stranger began, "I
only want a seat at your fire."

"Nay," said the old woman, giving effect
to her words by her uncouth dialect, " thoul't
get no shelter here; I've nought to give to
beggars — a dirty, wet critter," she contin-
ued, wrathfully, slamming-to the window,
"it's a wonder where he found any water,
too, seeing it freezes so hard, a body can
get none for the kettle, saving what's broken
up with a hatchet."

On this the beggar turned hastily away.
And at this point in his narrative, the per-
son who told It me stopped and said, " Do
you think the old woman was very much to
blame ?"

"She might have acted more kindly," I
replied; " but why do you ask ? "

" Because," said he, " I have heard her
conduct so much reflected on by some who
would have thought nothing of it, if it had
not been for the consequences."

"She might have turned him away less
roughly," I observed.

"That is true," he answered; "but, in
any case, I think, though we might give
them food or money, we should hardly in-
vite beggars in to sit by the fire."

"Certainly not," I replied; "and this
woman could not tell that the beg£ar was
honest."

"No," said he, "but I must go on with
my narrative. The stranger turned very
hastily from her door, and waded through

the deep snow towards the other cottage.
The bitter wind helped to drive him towards
it. It looked no less poor than the first;
and, when he had tried the door, found it
bolted, and knocked twice without attract-
ing attention, his heart sank within him.
His hand was so numbed with cold, that he
had made scarcely any noise ; he tried
again. A rush candle was burning within,
and a matronly-looking woman sat before
the fire. She held an infant in her arms,
and had dropped asleep ; but his third
knock roused her, and, wrapping her apron
round the child, she opened the door a very
little way and demanded what he wanted.

"Good woman," the youth began, "I
have had the misfortune to fall in the water
this bitter night, and I am so numbed that
I can scarcely walk."

The woman gave him a sudden, earnest
look, and then sighed.

" Come in ! " she said ; " thou art so nigh
the size of my Jem, I thought at first it was
him come home from sea."

The youth stepped across the threshold,
trembling with cold and wet; and no
wonder, for his clothes were completely en-
cased in wet mud, and the water dripped
from them with every step he took on the
sanded floor.

"Thou art in a sorry plight," said the
woman, "and it be two miles to the nighest
housen; come and kneel down afore the
fire ; thy teeth chatter so pitifully, I can
scarce bear to hear them."

She looked at him more attentively, and
saw that he was a mere boy, not more than
sixteen years of age. Her motherly heart
was touched for him. "Art hungry?" she
asked, turning to the table ; " thou art wet
to the skin. What hast been doing ?"

" Shooting wild ducks," said the boy.

"O!" said the hostess, "thou art one of
the keepers' boys, then, I reckon ?"

He followed the direction of her eyes,
and saw two portions of bread set upon the
table, with a small piece of bacon upon
each.

" My master be very late," she observed,
for charity did not make her use elegant
language, and by her master she meant her
husband ; " but thou art welcome to my bit
and sup, for I was waiting for him ; may be
it will put a little warmth in thee to eat and
drink;" so saying, she took up a mug of

Sherman & Wyde's Musical Review.

beer from the heafth, and pushed it towards
him, with her share of the supper.

"Thank vou!" said the hoy, "but I am
so wet I am making quite a pool before
your fire with the drippings from my clothes."

"Ay, thou art wet, indeed," said the wo-
man, and, rising again, she went to an old
box in which she began to search, and pres-
ently came to the fire with a perfetly clean
checked shirt in her hand, and a tolerably
good suit of clothes.

" There ! " said she, showing them with no
small pride, "these be my master's Sunday
clothes, and if thou wilt be very, very care-
ful of them, I'll let thee wear them till thine
be dry." She then explained that she was
going to put her "bairn" to bed, and pro-
ceeded up a ladder into the room above,
leaving the boy to array himself in these
respectable and desirable garments.

When she came down her guest had
dressed himself in the laborer's clothes ; he
had had time to warm himself, and he was
eating and drinking with hungry relish. He
had thrown his muddy clothes in a heap
upon the floor, and, as she proceeded to lift
them up, she said, "Ah! lad, lad, I doubt
thy head has been under water ; thy poor
mother would have been sorely frightened
if she could have seen thee awhile ago."

"Yes," said the boy; and, in imagina-
tion, the cottage dame saw this said mother,
a care-worn, hard working creature like
herself; while the youthful guest saw, in
imagination, a beautiful and courtly lady ;
and both saw the same love, the same
anxiety, the same terror at sight of a lonely
boy struggling in the moonlight through
breaking ice, with no one to help him,
catching at the frozen reeds, and then creep-
ing up, shivering and benumbed, to a cot-
tage door.

But even as she stooped, the woman for-
got her imagination, for she had taken a
waistcoat into her hands, such as had nev-
er passed between them before ; a gold
pencil-case dropped from the pocket, and,
on the floor, among a heap of mud that
covered the outer garments, lay a white
shirt sleeve, so white, indeed, and fine, that
she thought it could hardly be worn by a
squire!

She glanced from the clothes to the own-
er. He had thrown down his cap, and his
fair, curly hair, and broad forehead, con-
vinced her that he was of gentle birth ; but
while she hesitated to sit down, he set a
chair for her, and said, with boyish frank-
ness, " I say, what a lonely place this is; if
you had not let me in, the water would have
all frozen on me before I reached home.
Catch me duck shooting again by myself! "

" It's very cold sport that, sir," said the
woman.

The yt)ung gentleman assented most
readily, and asked if he might sir the fire.

"And welcome, sir," said the woman.
She felt a curiosity fo know who he was,
and he partly satisfied her by remarking
that he was staying at Deen Hall, a house
about five miles off, adding that, in the
morning, he had broken a hole in the
ice very near the decoy, but it had iced
over so fast, that in the dusk he had missed
it and fallen in, for it would not bear him.
He had made some landmarks, and taken
every proper precaution, but he supposed
the sport had excited him so much that, in
the moonlight, he had passed them by. He
then told her of his attempt to get shelter in
the other cottage.

"Sir," said the woman, "if you had said
you were a gentleman — "

The boy laughted. " I don'tthink I knew
it, my good woman," he replied, " my senses
were so benumbed ; for I was some time
struggling at the water's edge among the
broken ice, and then I believe I was nearly
an hour creeping up to your cottage door.
I remember it all rather indistinctly, but as
soon as 1 had felt the fire, and drank the
warm beer, I was a different creature."

While they still talked, the husband came
in; and, while he was eating his supper,
they agreed that he should walk to Deen
Hall, and let its inmates know of the gen-
tleman's safety ; and when he was gone,
they made up the fire with all the coal that
remained to that poor household, and the
woman crept up to bed, and- left her guest
to lie down and rest before it. In the grey
of dawn the laborer returned, with a ser-
vant and leading a horse, and bringing a
fresh suit of clothes.

The young gentleman took his leave with
many thanks, slipping three half-crowns
into the woman's hand, probably all the
money he had about him. And I must not
forget to mention that he kissed the baby,
for when she tells the story, the mother al-
ways adverts to that circumstance with
great pride, adding, that her child being as
" clean as wax, was quite fit to be kissed by
anybody! "

" Missis," said her husband, as they stood
together in the doorway, looking after their
guest, " who dost think that be ?"

" I don't know," answered the Missis.

" Then I'll just tell thee, that be young

Lord W- ; so thou mayest be a proud

woman, thou sits and talks with lords, and
asks them in to supper — ha, ha!" So say-
ing, her master shouldered his spade and
went his way, leaving her clinking the three
half-crowns in her hand, and considering
what she should do with them. Her neigh-
bor from the other cottage presently stepped
in, and when she heard the tale and saw the
money, her heart was ready to break with
envy and jealousy. " O ! to think that good
luck should have come to her door, and
she should have been so foolish as to turn

it away. Seven shillings and sixpence for
a morsel of food and a night's shelter, why,
it was nearly a week's wages ! "

So there, as they both supposed, the mat-
ter ended, and the next week the frost was
sharper than ever. Sheep were frozen in
the fenny fields, and poultry on their perch-
es, but the good woman had walked to the
nearest town and bought a blanket. It was
a welcome addition to their bed-covering,
and it was many a long year since they had
been so comfortable.

But it chanced, one day at noon, .that
looking out at her casement, she spied three
young gentlemen skating along the ice to-
wards her cottage. They sprang on to the
bank, took off their skates, and made for
her door. The young nobleman informed
her that he had had such a severe cold he
could not come and see her before. " He
spoke as free and pleasantly," she observed,
in telling the stor^', " as if I had been a lady,
and no less ! and then he brought a parcel
out of his pocket, 'and I've been over to

B — ,' he says, 'and bought you a book

for a keepsake, and I hope you will accept
it." And then they all talked as pretty as
could be for a matter of ten minutej, and
went away. So I waited till my master
came home, and we opened the parcel, and
there was a fine Bible inside, all over gold
and red morocco, and my name and his
name written inside ; and, bless him ! a ten
pound note doubled down over the names.
I'm sure, when I thought he was a poor
forlorn creature, he was kindly welcome.
So my master laid out part of the money in
tools, and we rented a garden, and he goes
over on market days to sell what we grow ;
so now, thank God, we want for nothing."

This is how she generally concludes the
little history, never failing to add that the
young lord kissed her baby.

"But," said my friend, " I have not told
you what I thought the best part of the an-
ecdote. When this poor Christian woman
was asked what had induced her to take
in a perfect stranger, and trust him with the
best clothing her home afforded, she an-
swered simply, "Well, I saw him shivering
and shaking, so I thought ' Thou shalt come
in here for the sako of Him that had not
where to lay His head.' "

Now I think we must all have read many
times of such rewards following upon little
acts of kindness. Hundreds of tales are
founded on such incidents, but, in real life;
they are not common. Poetical justice is
not the kind of justice that generally comes
about in the order of God's providence.
We ought not to expect such; and woful,
indeed, must be the disappointment of those
who do kind actions in the hope of receiv-
ing it.

to some forlorn beggar, but it is all but cer-
tain that she will never open it to a noble-
man in disguise! Therefore, let neither
man, woman, nor child found false hopes
upon this story; for, let them entertain as
many beggars as they will, they need not
expect that they have gold pencil-cases in
their pockets — unless they have stolen them.

These stories are, as I said, very com-
mon, and their moral is sufficiently obvious ;
it is, " Do good, and you shall have your
reward." I would not quarrel with the
maxim, but I should like to see it differently
applied. I think it arises from a feeling
which has done harm rather than good.
We are indeed, quite at liberty to use the
Scriptural maxim, " He that watereth shall
be watered also himself; " but then, we
should give the term "watereth" its Scrip-
tural sense — an extended and beautiful
sense.

The act of charity is often highly valued,
while the motive, which alone can make it
acceptable, is overlooked and forgotten ; it
is not hope that should prompt it, but grati-
tude. Not many, even of the Lord's people,
can always say in simplicity, " 1 did it for
the sake of Him that 'had not where to lay
His head.' "

We have strangely reversed the order of
things. We sometimes act as if our feeling
was, "Let us do good and give, that God,
who loveth a cheerful giver, may be good to
us;" but our feeling should be, "Christ
has died, let us do good, for His sake, to
His poor brethren, as an evidence that we
are grateful for His inestimable gift."

Let us do good, not to receive more good
in return, but as an evidence of gratitude
for what has been already bestowed. In
few words, let it be "all for love, and noth-
ing for reward."

WANTED TO BE AN EDITOR.

" Have you had any experience in the
business?" we asked of a verdant looking
youth who applied for an editorial position
the other day.

" Haven't I though?" he replied, as he
shoved one foot under his chair to hide the
unskillful patching of a backwoods cobler.
" I should say I'd had some experience —
haven't I corresponded with the Pumpkin-
ville i'crfizwfr for six weeks? Hain't that
experience enough ? "

" That will do very well," we replied, "but
when we take young men on our editorial
staff, we generally put them through an ex-
amination. How much are twelve times
one ?"

" Twelve ! why any little boy ought to
an — "

" Hold on, please — don't be too fast — who
discovered America?"

" Klumbus ! Pshaw, them questions are
just as easy as" —

" Who was the first man ?"

"Adam ! why Mister, I know all" —
■ " What was his other name ?"

"His other name? why he didn't have
none."

" Yes, he did. You see that's where
we've got you. His other name was Eben-
ezer — Ebenezer Adam, Esq., late of Para-
dise. Nobody knows this but editors, and
see to it that you don't tell anybody."

He said he wouldn't.

" How many bones are there in the human
body ?"

"Well, I forgot now, but I did know
wunst."

" What ! don't you know that ? Why
there's 7,482,921,444 bones in an ordinary
man. A man that snores has one more
bone than other people."

" What bone is that ?"

" The trombone. It is situated some-
where in the nose. You won't forget that
will you ?"

He said he wouldn't.

" How long would it take a mud-turtle to
cross the desert of Sahara with a small or-
phan boy to touch him up behind with a red-
hot poker ?"

" Well, look here. Mister, if I had a slate
and pencil I could figger that out, but dog
my skin if I'm much on on mental 'rithme-
tic."

" Slate and pencil ! Did you ever see a
slate and pencil about a sanctum? Well/
we'll let that question slip. Have you got a
a good constitution ?"

"Putty tolerable."

" How long do you suppose you could live
on raw corn and faith, and do the work of a
domesticated elephant ?"

"Lord! I don't believe I could live mor'n
a week."

" Well, that's about as long as you'd want
to live if you got an editorial position on this
paper. You appear to be pretty well posted ;
we shall ask you one more question, and if
you prove equal to it you can take off your
coat and sail in."

" Lets have 'er 'squire. I didn't corres-
pond for the Pumpkinville Screamer six
weeks for nothin'. Let 'er come — I'm on
deck, I am.

" Well, sir, if two diametrical circles with
octagonal peripheries should collide with a
centrifugal idiosyncrasy, or, to put it plain-
er, we'll say a disenfranchised nonenity,
what effect would the catastrophe exert on a
chrystalized cod-fish suspended by the tail
from the homogenous rafters of the empy-
rean ?"

As the full force of this ponderous prob-
lem broke upon his bewildered brain, he
slowly dragged his inartistically cobbled
shoe from under his chair, and started from
the room. We heard him descend the stairs,
go out, and close the door. We then plac-

idly resumed our duties, regretting that so
promising a youth should have been weigh-
ed in the balance and found wanting. —
Franklin Patriot.

The following is a brief summary of Du-
mas' new play " L'Etrangere," about which
all France is talking:

Duke Ma.ximin de Septmont, is a worth-
less and ruined young man who shares the
nominal honors of a French title, signifying
nothing, with an unknown number of other
persons. M. Moriceau is a vulgar, foolish
old fellow who has amassed a fortune by sel-
ling shoddy for more than it is worth in the
Rue St. Denis. Duke Maximin, hard
pressedby his debts, wants money. M. Mor-
iceau, equally worried by stupid ambitions,
wants nobility. These two persons are
brought together at the house of Mrs. Clark-
son (L'Etrangere), an American adventur-
ess, who sells her advice and good offices for
round sums of ready money. A bargain is
then struck between them, and Moriceau
buys the Duke for his daughter Catherine as
a brilliant and showy plaything. Mrs.
Clarkson receives a moderate commission
in the transaction in the shape of $150,000,
more or less, from the parties concerned,
and there is an end of it. In due course
Catherine Moriceau discovers that she meant
to buy a husband and has only purchased a
duke. She is dissatisfied with her bargain
and wants to keep company with one
Gerard, a virtuous young engineer, with
whom Mrs. Clarkson is in love. The Amer-
ican lady fights this question with her, and,
in order to get a convenient battle ground,
offers to give 85,000 to a charity of which the
Duchess is patroness for the privilege of tak-
ing a cup of tea with her. The Duchess tells
her that if she can get presented in the reg-
ular way she will receive her. "Oh, very
well," observes the Duke, " I will present
the charming stranger to you," and he does
so. The Duchess then gives her a cup of
tea and breaks the cup to atoms after she
has drankout of it. Mrs. Clarkson, finding,
indeed, that Duchess Maximin is unmanage-
able, rouses her husband's jealousy, and ul-
timately brings about a series of quarrels, in
which Duke Maximin is killed by her own
divorced husband, one Clarkson, a very
rough diamond ; and Mrs. Clarkson [telrang-
ere) having lost the game for which she has
played, leaves the Duchess to be happy
ever afterward with their mutual lover, Ger-
ard, the virtuous engineer.

It is said the play has revived an old scan-
dal that American ladies in Paris have often
sold themselves as spies to the police and
foreign diplomatists, moreover the absurd
story finds plenty of believers.

Prayers should be the key of the day

and the lock of the night.

It is acknowledged by the the Musical Press, the

Prices as Reasonable and Terms as Easy as con-

Mr. Weber believes that the American public are ever
ready and willing to pay a fair price for a superior article.
He is, therefore, not afraid to add real improvements, even
if they enhance the cost of the instrument to the purchaser.
He has proceeded u\>ou the principle that the very best pos-.
sible instrument is really the cheapest, and the result has
been an

CIRCULATION, 5,000.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Near tlic close of April, we accepted an
invitation from tlie Committee on Music and
Drawing of the Board of Education, to parti-
cipate in tlie annual examination in vocal
music, of all the grammar and primary
schools in the city. In company witli Messrs.
T. M. Edwards and N. Scheeline of said
committee, Dr. W. A. Grover, a former
member of the Board, Prof. Washington
Elliot, Principal of Music in the public
scliools, and others, the several schools have
been examined, by classes, and credits
marked to each class according to its merits.
The ofiicial report of Messrs. Edwards and
Scheeline, whicli we insert on anotlier page
of this issue, states tlie general results. We
also piesentin this number, a statement of
the average percentages of eacli school, and
the total average of all the .schools instructed
by each music teacher, the standard for full
credits being one hundred; and we give a
list of the classes in eaeli school which were
awarded extra (credits, with the names of
their teachers : also a further li.st, with the
teachers' names, of tlie classes which were
awarded full credits, or one liundred per
cent., witliout extras.

It will bo noticed that three of the six
music teachers average from 'Xt to nearly !)8
per cent, a fourth over flO, and a tifth .'<4..'i0
per cent. Tliis is certainly a remarkable
sliowinsi, and in most cases o.\eeeded the
expectations of the committee. Prom the
records of last year's examination, in which
we also had the lionor to assist, and from
visits to many of the .schools during tlie
school year Just closed, we note in mo.st in-
stances" a striking improvement. Wo are

We regret that we have not space to refer the vocalization of Miss (iertrudeL. Hininan,

to those which achieved Ijrilliant successes.
It is conceded by competent Eastern critics
that several of our public schools are un-
equaled in vocal attainments, and we think
our musical community should be proud
of such unexampled progress. In a large
number of classes, the scholars were distin-
guished for brilliant execution, smooth and
beautiful intonation, good modulation, accu

possesses a voice of uncommon tlexibility
and sweetness. The cavatina from 11 Bar-
biere is full of florid ornamentation, and its
difficulties are not easily overcome, but Miss
Hinman's interpretation of it was admirable.
The delicate phrasing was charmingly given,
while the requirements of the high passages
were met with a power and brilliancy that
deliglited the listeners. In response to an

rate time and exact expression of the senti- enthusiastic encore, she sang, " Home, Sweet

COLLEGE COMMENCEMENTS.

The various literary institutions of the
State have all held their annual examinations
and commencement exercises .since our last
i§sue, and it is conceded that in the main
they have surpassed the efforts of previous
years. In these exercises, music has been
assigned a deserved prominence, and the
superior character of the vocal and instru-
mental pieces presented, and the creditaljle,
and in some eases brilliant execution of the
pupils, have been very noticeable. The
essays too have for the most part Ijeen
tlioughtful and instructive, and the graduates
liave shown ecjual ability in their examina-
tions. .VnicnLrtlifsc institutions the follr, wing

THE BEST PIANO.

As to which is the best jjiano made in
America, opinions are divided. Until
the last four years the honor was about
efjually <livided between Steiiiway and
C'hickeriiio-, but now the Weber stands
foremost. Albert Weber, the manufac-
turer, is both a musician and a mechanic.
He is an artistic player, and he can make
a piano from lyre tii key-board, from
frame to cover. Doulitless his j)ractical
knowledge is the true cause of his won-
derful success ill ])roducing; such su])erb
instruments as the Weber pianos. !Muzio
says he considers the Weber ])ianos "the
best in the world." Arabella Goddard
declares that no other pianos in America
(tan comjiare with them. ?'lara Louise
Kellogg declares the ^^'el)er to be her
choice for the concert-room and for her
own house. Pattisays: " I have used the
pianos of every celebrated maker, but
give yours the jireference over all." In
the households of Virginia City several
of these sjilendid instruments may be
found, and their richness of tone and
(slegance of finish elicit general admiration.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

STK.vKo.srii Concerts. — The first of a
series of concerts under the direction of
Mr. Maurice Strakosch, was given at
IJaldwin's Academy of Music on the 7th
inst. The prima donna. Mile. Anna de
Belocca, is a lady of prepossessing
ap]3earance with a rich voice, but she
was suffering with a severe cold contrac-
ted on her journey here, and in conse-
quence failed to meet the expectations
of those acquainted with her foreign
successes. We hope at future appearan-
ces she will be in good voict . Mr. Tom
Karl has a sweet voice of not much power,
but sang out of tune and failed to awaken
any enthusiasm in the audience. Signor
Tagliepietra has a fine baritone voice
well cultivated, sings in good taste, and
was the chief attraction of the conc(>rt
The orchestra under the (iirection of
Prof. Geo. T. Evans played as well as
could be expected without rehearsal.

Since the above was in type, we have at-
tended the second concert, which occurred
on the !ith inst., and we are glad to say that
Mile Belocca retrieved her fortune of the pre-
vious evening, and was encored with de-
erved enthusiasm. The opening notes of
her first aria " I)i tauti palpiti," showed
that she had not fully recovered from her
severe cold, but as she proceeded, her voice
grew clearer, and the sweetness of her upper
register more apparent ; while herlowertones
were full and rich. Mile. Belocca next gave
with still finer intonations, the French ro-
mance, "Siv'ous n'avez rien a dire," fol-
lowed by the charming "Mandolinata, which
was applauded to the echo. Her part in the
duet from La Favorita. was somewhat less
impressive, but " Vol che Sapete" atoned for
it, and her "Kathleen Mavourueen," was
rendered with a depth of feeling which cap-
tivated the audience. One of her encore
pieces, " Good Night and Pleasant Dreams,"
was very favorably received, and her spark-
ling execution of tlie Brindisi from Lucre lia
Borgia was a delightful finale.

Signor Tagliapietra sang an aria from / 1
Trovatore with great power and beauty, and
he excelled equally in the pianissimo and
forte passages. His transitions were smooth,
his articulation distinct, and his style so ex-
pressive, as to win the most hearty recalls.
His part in the duet from La Favorita was
finely rendered, and his romanza, " La Stella
Confidante" was magnificent, and created a
furore of applause. We liope to hear tliis
company in opera.

ScHoor. Boys' Picnic .4Nd Drili,.— On the
30th ult., at Badger's Park, a militai-y drill
and picnic was given by the schoolboys from
this city, for the benefit of the Teaclier's Aid
Society, a beneficial institution organised for
the aid of teachers in the public schools wlien
sick or otherwise disabled. Miss M. M.
Murphy, of the Washington Grammar
Scliool, is President of this excellent society,
and the management of this entertainment
was entrusted to her, with the assistance of
Misses Carrie Barlow and Irene Lamb, of the
same school, Mrs. M. Deane, Principal of the
San Bruno Primary School, and other teach
ers. Six military companies had previously
been organized and officered among the boys,
two from the Wasliiugton, and one each from

the North Cosmopolitan, Lincoln, Eighth
Street and Valencia Street Grammar Schools,
and on the trial drill, they looked quite sol-
dierly, and really surprised the crowd of
visitors by. the precision of their movements.
A committee of four had been selected to
award the prize, a lieautiful banner, to tlie
bestrdrilled company; and this Committee
consisting of Messrs. O F. Von Rhein, John
M. Bnffington, James H. Deering and Arthur
M. Ebbets of this city, justly awarded the
prize to Company A, C!apt. Brooks, of Wash-
ington Grammar School. A felicitous presen-
tation speech was made by Mr. O. F. Von
Rhein of the Board of Education, in behalf
of the Teachers Aid Society by whom it was
contributed. Among otlier interesting exer-
cises, may be noted an oration, well spoken
by Moses Grossmann of the Ijincoln Gram-
mar School, followed by the singing of the
patriotic airs, Star Spangled Banner and
America, by the boys and girls on the
grounds. Large delegations of teachers and
pupils were present from the various schools,
and the managing committee were very etli-
cient in their execution of the programme.
A collation was served at noon, and dancing,
with good music by Blythe's Band, was
interspersed among the other exercises, to
the universal satisfaction of the visitors.

Convent of Mercy, Rincon Hill. —
1 the twenty-third ultimo, the annual
examination of the above institution was
held, and on the twenty-fourth, the Com-
mencement exercises took place. The
examination was conducted by Brother J ustin
of .St. Mary's College, and the proficiency
displayed in their studies was highly credi-
table to the pupils, and evinced thorough
instruction by the teachers. Among the
literary exercises, the addresses by Misses
M. L. O'Neil and A. Marion, and the essays
by Misses M. McGannand M. Hyland, were
very meritorious. The "Play of the Angels"
was a very prominent jiiece, in which several
countries are represented by angels, each of
whom demands for her country a crown.
The recitations in this piece were distinctly
spoken, with appropriate acting.

A number of piano duets and quartettes
were excellently performed by the young
lady pupils, whose execution was warmly
appreciated by the audience. Several vocal
solos and choruses were also rendered with
good expression. These exercises were so
well performed as to show conclusively that
particular attention is paid to music in this
institution. Misses M. Corr, L. O'Brien and
M. Crowley were the graduates and received
diplomas, and were well deserving of the
many medals and other distinctions conferred
upon them. Several young ladies in the
Senior and J unior Departments were awarded
crowns and honors for superior scholarship.
The entire programme was successfully
carried out.

Brass Bands. — A large number of
Brass Bands have recently been organized
in various towns oil this (.'otist, and among
them, Marysville, Yuba City, Point Arena,
Medocino City, Ukiah, Sierra City, River-
side, and San Bernardino Cal., and Glen-
brook Nev. Our Band master and sales-
man has been very successful in enlisting
the interest of the ]iul)lic in band music.
All information respi.^eting the formation
of bands, and the instruments proper to

graduates, and several prizes were awar-
ded for superior scholarship.

STATE MUSICAL NEWS.

S.^XTA Cruz. — We are pleased to note the
rapid advancement in musical culture in tliis
delightful town. Within the past few months,
we liave sold over twenty pianos and organ.s
in Santa Cruz, and there is good prospect of
other orders coming in soon. It is a favor-
able sign when a community evinces this
egard for aesthetic culture, which should
aUyays go hand in hand with the useful arts.
Several enterprising teachers are doing a
lively business. Foremost in the ranks are
Prof, and Mrs. James, who, although new-
comers, have a liberal patronage. There can
surely be no better place for those desiring
pure country air, and sea bathing, than this
agreeable town ; and since the completion of
the railroad, it is easy of access. Mrs. Peck
hasjust opened a line privateboarding hou.se,
where all the comforts of home can be found.
G.

Sax Jose. — Morton A Co., are doing a
lively business in San Jose with the Weber
pianos, and Standard Organs; and whatever
one may desire in the line of sheet music,
may be procured of them. This firm by
their honorable dealings have won the good
will of musical people. San Jose is noted
as a musical community. There are many
excellent private teachers, and several col-
leges and schools where music receives par-
ticular attention. G.

Sant.\ Rosa. — .\ckley Bros, have recently
opened a new music store in Santa Rosa,
They are energetic young men, and well de-
serving of the patronage they receive. They
have the Weber, and Sherman A Hj-de pianos,
and the Standard organs. A good music
store in that growing _town, will, no doubt,
be appreciated. G.

MUSIC IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Kc'iioit ,if the Cominittef nii Musli' and Drawlug, to the
Board of Education.
San Fkancibco. Cal.. June 6, 18711.
Tu the Board of Education — The undersigned
members of the Committee on Music and
Drawing of your honorable body, respectfully
submit the following report upon tlie recent
examination, in singing, by clas.ses, of tlie
Public Schools of this city.

In compliance with our invitation. Dr. W.
A. Grover, a former member of the Board of
Education, and Mr. .fuliu.s H. Mott, Kditorof
Sliernian ct Hyde's Musical Review, accom-
panied and assisted us in examining and
marliing credits in the various .schools; and
with the further a.ssistance of Mr. Washing-
ton Elliot, Principal of Music in the Public
Schools, and the occasional aid of otiier
teachers of music, the examination lias been
made since the twenty-tliird daj' of April
la.st.

The full number of credits given to tlie
four grammar grades was twenty, and to the
four primary grades, ten ; and full credits
were awarded, whenever, in the opinion of
the committee, the classes .sang excellently
in all respects, due regard being had to tlie
grade of the pupils. And wlierever the
classes sang with an extraordinary degree of
excellence, extra credits, not exceeding live
in number, were awarded as an expression of
the committee's appreciation. The various
members of the examining committee mark-
ed separately in each class, and afterwards
compared notes and agreed upon credits;
and a striking similarity of opinion was
shown in nearly every case.

The proflcieney in singing, in most of the
schools, is unexpectedly satisfactory. Most
of tlie niu.sic teachers have displayed ability
and fidelity in their instruction ; and the
pupils have certainly evinced remarkable
interest in music, and have made great pro-
gress, especially when the limited time they
have devoted to it is considered. A majoiity
of the principals and class teachers have ably
co-operated with the music teachers, and
some have been distinguished for their atten-
tion to music, and are entitled to particular
commendation ; and the classes of such
teachers received higher credits than those
of others.

Tlie present system of employing regular
music teachers, to give instruction at stated
periods, and in regular gradation, under the
supervision of a Principal of Music, has
caused a remarkable advancement in vocal
music in our public schools during the la.st
two years. If the present system be contin-
ued, and only competent teachers be em- '
ployed, we may expect still more gratifying
results in ths future.

In the first five grades, the classes gener-
ally sang as well by note as by word. In
the tlirce lower grades, singing by word only,
is prescribed. In proportion to their ages,
tlic pupils of the lower grades .sang about as
well as those of the higher. As no written
examinations were made, questions concern-
ing the theory of music, adapted to tlie grade
of the pupils, were asked by Mr. Elliot, and
tlie answers were generally prompt and cor-
rect, showing that this important part of
musical education has received proper atten-
tion.

The following list comprises the nrerage
percentage of the credits allowed to tlie

various schools ; all the classes of each
teacher being combined, and the standard
being fixed at one hundred, viz:

Mr. WaKhlngton Elliot. ,'io 97.97

Mr, W. E. Price, WJ 9(i,93

Mr, W, D. Murphy, 74 79,79

Miss ElU A, Lamb, 7k 95.00

Miss L, E. Ryder, 7H 90,3«

Miss Huttie Summerfleld 90 84,50

The number of extra credits awarded to the classeB
of the several music teachers is as follows, viz:

Mr, Washington Elliot, » ' 10.5

Mr, W. E. Price, Tt 71

Mr, W, D, Murphj, 1 1

Miss Ella A. Lamb, •-'(■. .'id

Miss L, E, Ryder, 4 ."i

MissHattie Summerfield, :) 3

In the Noe and Temple Streets Primary

School, the three classes have been taught

music by Miss Idella t'. Emmons, a class

teacher, and their average percentage was

S7..50.

The classes in the grammar schools, tauglit
by Mr. Elliot and Mr. Price, and in the
primary schools by Miss Lamb, are so simi-
lar in their standing that we can appro-
priately speak of them together. It would,
in our opinion, be impossible to find teachers
of music who could surpass them in the
public schools, and they are entitled to the
highest praise for the earnest devotion to
their duties, which has led to such extrnor-
dinary results. In most cases, their classes
sang with accurate time, fine intonations,
brilliant style and charming expression.

The classes taught by Misses Ryder and
Summerfield did not attain such uncommonly
high percentages as those of the teachers
just named, but were as a whole satisfactory,
and possessed positive merit. They sang
generally in correct time and with good
expression, and some of the classes were up
to a high standard. Tliese teacliers have
evidently been faithful and industrious.

In conclusion, we desire to make the fol-
lowing recommendat'on : that the Board
tender a vote of thanks to Dr. W. A. Grover
and to Mr. Julius H. Mott, for their generous
aid in assisting, without compensation, in the
musical examination of the public schools of
this city.

f T. M. Edwards.

Resolved to continue his sly depredation,

And connoisseur-like selected his prey ;

He robbed a rich pearl of its delicate whiteness.
And pilfered a ruby deep hid in a mine :
Delighted to find himself thus richly laden.
He wiug.id his swift flight tu a juvenile maiden.

Commencement Week, at the Youno-
Ladies' Seminary in Benicia. The ex-
aminations and closing exercises of this
prosperous school, occurred from the 30tli
to the 33fl of May, and passed with great
eclat. The recitations by the classes in
elocution, under the direction of Mis.
Poulson, deserve especial mention. We
have never listened to an exercise more
thrilling than " The Siege of Lucknow,"
recited by forty or fifty young ladies,
trained to speak together, in every in-
flection of voice, and with dramatic accent.
None among the array of musicians at
the concert, performed a feat more to be
admired than this brilliant class. The
selections from Shakspeare were also
finely rendered. The preparations for a
grantl vocal and instrumental concert,
I Wednesday evening, caused natural ex-
! citement, not only in the school, but in
the town itself, which is usually asleep
all day. W^e will not indulge in either
lengthy, or technical criticism of the ar-
tists, who were summonetl from the city
to add lustre to the occasion ; because to
a " looker-on in V-enice," there were
■ some comical and un-inusical shades to
the picture. The singing by the school,
accompanied by members of the Cavalry
Band, was very good. We did not ex-
pect from the band the artistic pianissimo
of an opera trained orchestra, nevertheless
in the ballad Kathleen Mavourneen, sung-
by Miss Rosa Neuer with excellent- care,
anil a very sweet voice, they did good
service ; also, in Killarney, given as solo
and chorus, by Miss Musgrove, with real
energy and beauty. A novelty of the
evening was a ballade for declamation,
with piano accompaniment.by Schumann,
recited by Miss Elliott. Piano and voice
were so well balanced, that every move
was distinctly heard, and the exquisite
harmony of the composition was very
impressive. Mr. Mansfeldt was the pi-
anist of the evening, and, received un-
bounded applause. Except in his accom-
paniments, he showed admirable tech-
nique and strength. The most artistii-
feature of the evening was the violon-
cello playing by Mr. Hinrichs. He has
tlie touch and degree of a master, and
exhibited that repose which is felt by an
audience far more deeply than any grand
slam-bang. The young ladies did them-
selves great credit, and showed ease and
certainty in all they attempted. The
clouds of Wednesday were dissipated
by bright sunshine on Commencement
Day, and at the hour appoint(Ml, the
( 'hapel presented a beautiful aiipearanctt,
twined with mottos in green, with gar-
lands of flower,s and American flags. The .

title role. Mile. Bianchi made a very
agreeable Mathilde and the e.\cellent
band gave the well known overture in
irreproachable style. The performance
was honored by the presence of the Prin-
cess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess
ofTeck. On the 30th March, Uii Bidlo

Amelia and Mile. Bianchi as Oscar, a
part in which this talented young singer
gives great satisfaction. JJon Gioi'an/u

hymns, the effect being almost over-
powering. Handel's <S'(^iv/rt«rt was given

Mme. Leonowa's Concert. — Xt Piatt's
Hall on the l.ith ult., Mme. D. Leonowa, the
celebrated Russian contralto, made her first
appearance in this city, in three arias from
Lun-czia Borgia, Donna Carithea and Rnbcit
le Diablc, and in tlie Ru.ssian romance, "No
Song on Board " and " I love you." Mme-
Leonowa has an exceedingly well-cultivated
voice, smooth, full and even, and of agree-
able quality, and awakened unusual interest
ill her audience, especially by her exquisite
trills in tiic foiirtli luimlier, whicli received
a lively encore. This artiste was very ably
suiqiorted by Messrs. Theoihire Habelmann
and !•'. Lafontaine, and the former gave one
of .Vbt's melodious songs with superior ex-
pression. The Russian tjuartett sang two
good selections. Mr. Otto Linden was the
conductor of this excellent concert. Mme.
Leonowa appeared on a subsequent occasion
in 11 Truoatore, and failed to meet the ex-
pectations of the pulilic.

Amotaos .Sociai, Paktv. — The lirst social
gathering of the Ainotags was given on the
30th ult., at Lunt's Hall, and was largely
well-arranged programme of
dances was presented, in which nearly all
present participated, and the occasion was
most enjoyable. The party closed at one
o'clock, a very sensible hour. The partici-
pants comprised the members of the Apollo
Glee Society and their friends, many of
whom are well known in musical circles as
amateurs of line talent. The Apollo Glee
Society, which is under the direction ol Prof.
Washiugldii l':iliot, has closed its rehearsals
for the usual Siuunicr vai'atioii, but will re-
open 111! the Ith .Se|itcinbcr with additional
members; and this entertaining party was a
fitting siii)|)lenient to its late.snccessful public
concert.

sical Institute. The operatic piogranime
was well selected, and the pupils, most of
whom are quite ad\ anced, all acquitted them-
selves creditably, and some of them e.xcol-
Icntly. Miss Julie .Sclioenmakers has a ricli
and expressive voice, and her soprano solo,
Variations by Alary, and her part in the
duet from Norma, won deserved encores.
Miss Leonora Lee is a powerful mezzo-
soprano, and sang the cavatina from li
Barbiere and the contralto part in the duet
from Norma, with more than ordinary ett'ect.
Misses M. E. Cook and Vittorina Petrarchi
gave very good solos, and a duet that was
still better. Miss Fannie Mackenzie, a
youthful pupil, gave an acceptable song.
Mr. .Julius Stein has a fine tenor voice which
has been much improved by culture, and
his romanza from La Favorita was one of
the gems of the evening. Mr. ('. Charruau
also gave an agreeable selection. Messrs.
B. Neumann and M. Thiemer executed in
good style the fantasie from 11 Trooatore,
for violin and piano. The .soiree was under
the direction of Prof. Speranza, and was very
satisfactory to the guests, who remained at
the social Itall wliich followed the musieal
exercises.

Ch.\rit.\ble Conckbt. — On the ilst inst.,
at Piatt's Hall, a concert was given for the
benefit of a destitute family, and the noble
purpose, as well as the line programme, at-
tracted a large audience. Mr. 15. Neumann
was the manager, and is entitled to praise
for his untiring and successful efforts. Prof.
(iustav A. Scott showed hi.s usual ability as
musical director of the entertainment. One
of the gems of the evening was the aria
" Robert le Diable," which was beautifully
rendered by Miss Ida Valerga, and her
".'Vngels' Serenade " was sung with sweet
expression. Mr. Hermann Adler gave in
good style Millard's song, "Waiting." Miss
Matliilde Valerga made a fine impression
upon the audience by her violin solo " Mar-
tha." .She has a graceful and correct style
of bowing, and her playing is noticeable for
good taste. Miss Fannie Meyers' execution
of the piano solo, "Norma" was distin-
guished for brilliancy, and Senor M. Y. Fer-
rer's guitar solo was rendered with the deli-
cacy and richness of tcme for which he is
noted, Mr. Ernest Sclilott played a melo-
dious French Horn Solo, and Mr. Forner
gave a solo with fine effect upon that some-
\\hat rare instrument the Xonophone. Mr.
Neumann's orchestra played Suppe's over-
ture " Pique Dame" with more than ordinary
skill. The concert terminated with a ball,
and we learn that a large sura was raised for
the worthy beneficiaries.

A.v Orioin.\l Comedy. — .V noticeable
event in the amusements of last month, was
tlie presentation of an original comedy by a
company of amateurs at Piatt's Hall on the
10th ult. The play was a happy reflex of the
society of New York in revolutionary times,
while that city was under the administration
of the British Commander, Sir Henry Clin-
ton, and was entitled "Caleb Flint's Clients."
The loading idea was to show the eftect of
suddenly acquired wealth upon the mind of
a young and unsophisticated girl. The part
of Rosalie, the heiress, was very well sus-

tained by Miss Sarah E. Hosmer; and that of COJIALA Club. — On the 1st inst., this so-
Kthel de Lancy, a tory young lady, by Miss ciety gave an invitation concert at Pacific
Maud Witherbee. Each of these young la- ' Hall. The beautiful music of the 9.ith Psalm,
dies evinced fine dramatic powers, which I Mendelssohn, Gade's Comala, and the over-
need only cultivation and experience to ripen ture of the Hymn of Praise, comprised the
into eminence. The characters were all well i programme. We knew the capabilities of
represented, and the play itself was full of j this society and confess oursehes sadly dls-
literary merit. We sliould be glad to see it \ appointed with the entertainment. The

repeated.

L. P. S. E.VTKRTAINMEXT. — A farewell
complimentary was tendered to Rev. C. A.
Poage by the Larkin-st. PresbyterianLiterary
Society on the ilth inst., at their church. The
feature of the evening was the vocal perfor-
mance of Miss Linda Mott, a young lady 1.3
years of age, who has a voice of extraordinary
volume and .sympathetic quality, well adap-
ted to the opera. This young lady's voice
was first brought into public notice by her
singing in the Broadway Grammar School,
where she charmed all visitors by her so-
prano solos, and her duets with Miss Susie
Corbell. If this young lady's voice receives
careful and systematic culture, and if she
avoids singing too much for a few years, she
may yet become a star in the musical world.
Miss Emma Peck sang a vei-y good solo, and
Misses Lucy F. .\dams, Ella Street, Maggie
Brady and Mr. Hermann Muller gave songs,
and the Misses Mearns, Prof. Southwell and
Rev. C. A.. Poage, instrumental duets, and
several choruses were sung by the society.
Messrs. Henry Meeker and W. C. Deal, and
Misses Brady and Adams, each gave recita-
tions. The domestic sketch. The Obstinate
Family, was very entertaining, and the par-
ticipants, Messrs. E. McD. .Tohnstone, G. E.
Peek and J. B- Farrish, and Misses Cathella
Adams, Annie Vanderslice and Flora Sher-
man were deservedly applauded. This so-

soloists are well and favorably known and
sang their parts creditably. The overture
was not well balanced, there being a notice-
ahle lack of strings, and evidently there had
not been rehearsals enough to develop the
fine effects; but it was well received. The
choruses of Comala were entirely covered up
bj' the orchestra, and the effect of the grand
chorus of warriors (to which we were looking
forward with so much interest,) was entirely
lost. It seemed as though each singer was
accompanied by a trombone or a tuba and
that the intention of the orchestra was that
the voices should be heard only now and
then, which was virtually the case. Wo
doubt not the choruses were well drilled, and
some one is to blame for (to draw it mild)
this lack of effect. With merely a piano and
organ accompaniment, the concert would
have been much more effective.

Mission Literary Union. — This estima-
ble society gave one of its monthly musical
entertainments on the Sth inst., at the Third
Congregational Church. The .Silver Cornet
Band played several pieces, one of which,
the " Pretty as a Picture Schottische," was
conceded to be the gem of the evening,
though the " Skidmore Grand Quickstep,"
was notably well-played. Prof. H. Mehden
gave a fine cornet solo. Mrs. B. Bruce Lee
sang a new Scotch song, "Bessie, the Maid

of Dundee," very sweetly, and was encored ;
ciety has been very successful in its efforts ^^^ ^.j^,^ ^^^^ Ruthrkuff, an acceptable

duet. Mr. Henry Nieman, was in good

to intere.st.

Ri.vcoN Hill Club. — This excellent

musical society gave a concert at Piatt's

Hall, on the 2.5th ult. Vocal solos were

well rendered by Miss Lilly H. Post, Mrs.

Carter, Mr. C. Makin, and Mr. C. L. Gage.

But the feature of the evening was the oper-
etta " Pauline, or the Belle of Saratoga,"

which was a capital success. The cast was

as follows: Soprano, "Pauline," Miss

Nichols; contralto, "Clara," Mrs. Carter;

basso, ' Capt. Western," Mr. C. Makin;

baritone, "Sir Charles," Mr. C. L. Gage:

tenor, " George Ardent," Mr. C. Weeks ;

chorus, " Guests at Hotel." Tlie orchestra,
under the direction of Prof. Geo. T. Evans,
performed its part exceedingly \vell. We
regret to state that this deserving entertain-
ment had a thin house in consequence of the , ^^^ community ,"Tind we wish them comolete
short notice and insufficient advertising. \ gy^^g^g

We are pleased to learn that this operetta j

will be repeated on the 16th inst., at Dietz
Hall, in Oakland, for the benefit of the fam-
ily of a worthy musieal gentleman, who has
suffered from a prolonged illness ; and we
hope this generous club may be welcomed
by a full house.

voice, and gave a comic air, also the popular
song, " Darling Little Jessie," and received
enthusiastic encores. Recitations were well
rendered by Misses Laura Hardy and Boyd,
and Mr. Henry Varuey. Tliese festivals are
very interesting, and are largely attended by
the members of this church and their friends.

Sacramento Orchestral Assoctation. —
We learn that a number of professional and
amateur musicians in Sacramento have re-
cently formed an orchestral association under
the direction of Mr. Heyman, for the pur-
pose of giving concerts after a sufficient
number of rehearsals have been held. We
cannot speak too highly of the formation of
such societies, whicli cultivate the musical
taste of not only the members, but also of

Mrsic\L Entertainment. — At the Cen-
tral M. E. Church, on the 26th ult., the regu-
lar montlily social and musical soiree
possessed more than ordinary interest. Oik
of the features of the occasion was the song,
"Sing, Sweet Bird," given by Miss Jennie
Gibbs. This lady has a melodious voice, and
under the vocal instruction of Prof. (i.
Nathansor, is making tine progress. The
latter gave Arditi's vocal gem, " Let me love
thee " in his usual excellent stj'le. These
monthly entertainments are very well atten-
ded, and justly prized by the congregation
of this church and their many friends.

NIGHT AND MORNING.

Dnrk nit'Lt liae dipt lier heavy purple wiugs,
Id the bright gilding of her lovely queeu ;
And o'er the rippling water now she tlings,
A jeweled mantle of a Bilvery tsheen.

With wings unfolded she goes sailing on.
While all around her, tired nature sleei)s —
Her eyes have ne'er beheld the noonday sun.
Those starlight eyes from whence the dew

Through leafy shades I hear a gentle sigh.
Soft as the f.-jnning of an angel's wings —
It is the night-breeze that goes floating by,
And the sweet perfume of her mistress biiugs.

Westward in solemn grandeur silent night —
(The Btarn,- lights that guide thee, not a few.)
Thy sombre robes go trailing out of bight.

All wreathed in smiles, behold how wondrous
See the bright flowers she scatters far and near
From off her face she flings her dew wet hair.
And drives from every heart each restless fear.

Her azure sandals tipped with gold aud white.
Lightly shall press each hill aud valley fair;
.4 wakening birds rejoice to greet the sight,
And with their music flit the balmy air.

But as I gaze iipon thy beauty rare,

The great artist, Torriani, writes Weber :
" Your.s is truly the artists' piano." '

The great imi-sical director, Muzio, says :
" I consider the Weber Pianos the be.st
pianos in the world." I

The celebrated contralto, Cary, endorses
the Weber pianos as follows : " I feel that
everyone is fortunate who own.s a Weber
piano."

Madame Arabella Goddard, the great con-
fiert pianist, writes Weber: " Your instru-
ments have no ' superior' anywhere. I cer-
tainly have not seen any piano; in America
which approach them even."

Tlie best American pianist now living,
S. B. Mills, of New York, plays the VVeber
piano in concert, and 533-5 of them : "Among
the many excellent pianos, made in the city, I
the Weber ranks foremost."

An artist's opinion of the >^xcc•llence of the
Weber piano is expres.ved in the following
testimonial of Carreno's : " I am not sur-
prised that every great artint prefers tlie
Weber pianos; they are truly ' noble' instru-
ments, and ' meet every requirement of tli*
most exacting artist.' "

The Great Masters in Music.

It should be especially noted that most of the music we enjoy has been created
during the life time of our country. In 1776 Barh and Handel were gone, and thiir
lives a recent memory. Havdn and Mozart were giving thi Ir matchless music to
the world, and Beethoven w'as a child. Paganini was born in 17H4, Weber In 17«8.
Rossini in 179'.' Meyerbeer in 1794, Schubert in 1797. and Donizetti in 179'l. Bellini
came on the stage in IXOJ Strauss, the elder, in 1K04. Mendelssohn In 1809. Schu-
mann in 1810, (the year when Havdn died) and Liszt in IHll. Many who are now
famous have still more recently appeared. One will most vividly realize the
immensity as well as tbe beautv, of the productions of theso celebrated men by
reading their lives and letters— not heavy reading, but, to a music-lover, intensely
interesting. Ditson & Co., publish in handsome style :

Violets from their sleep, when from

Glad earth seems one broad smile

Gives thanks and praise for the

Garden of the heart, fresh buds
Of tender memory, from the dee
Roots long buried out of sight.
And watered by the tears which
Fall within, and which the
Busy world sees not. And on
The sacred grave which lies
In every heart, we plant new
Blossoms from the budding gree
Of spring time memories.

Pale flowers, bleached
From every stain of earth, and
Holding only rare and subtle pel
Of the past. Through weary hou
Of silence, and of sadness, they ha
Kept alive the root which
Blossomed once so bravely, and
When the time comes round
Of singing birds, and laughing wa
Of blue skies overblown by fleecy
Flocks of cloud, driven by the
Shepherd winds of May, to
Pleasant folds low down the
Sunset slope, there is a strange
And secret power that stirs
To life the old, old memory of
Happiness and trust.
And never burns the golden
Sunset, or shines the silver
Of a pleasant stream, or break
The calyx of the simplest woodlav

A STRANGE LOAN.

Translated from the German expressly lor the Musical
Review, by Wink Winkle.

Several persons of rank were sitting one
afternoon — about forty years ago — before
the most respectable looking coffee house
of a Hungarian country town, as a band of
gipsies, under escort, passed by, accused,
probably, of some thievery. An old, very

tall woman, apparently the grand-mother
of the family, followed last of all.

" That thin old gipsy, with the dark olive
skin, seems really of Egyptian descent,"
said one of the company.

"Several weeks ago," added another,
" she was at my castle ; and for the sport
of the thing we allowed her to read prophe-
sies from our hands. I have not much con-
fidence in these gipsy sayings generally,
but this old shrew, gentlemen, has some-
thing imposing and extraordinary about her
manner and appearance. And, to the
astonishment of all the inmates of the castle,
one of her prophesies was speedily fulfilled.
Enoz, a young, saucy fellow, one of my per-
sonal servants, held out his hand to her and
mockingly said :

" Look at me, old woman, see how feeble
I am ; could you predict ten more years of
life for me?"

The gipsy looked sharply at the palm of
his hand, then in his face, and said sadly ;
" Not ten days, young scoffer ! "

At this we all laughed heartily, but, truly,
seven days later the boy fell from an oak
tree and broke his neck.

"Strange, very strange!" cried several
of the listeners.

"Did she prophesy any thing for you.
Baron ?" asked one of the others.

"For me? Well, she warned me of a
near danger to my life, which, however, I
might escape by precaution. You may say
what you will, but the influence of these
prophesies are not always to be ridiculed
away. I can not help believing somewhat
in them, even in this danger threatening
me; for which you will, probably, consider
me foolish or superstitious. So many of
these gipsy sayings have been wonderfully
verified that our collective philosophy can
not banish their effect."

"The Baron is quite right!" said a deep,
sonorous voice. It came from a strange
gentleman, who sat at a table placed in an
opposite corner, and who, until now, had
taken no part in the conversation. He was
a tall, strong-looking man, and appeared to
be about forty years old. His dress was
fine, and his face bore the traces of a re-
flective, intelligent and reserved nature.
As the company turned toward him he con-
tinued : "Our new worldly wisdom, which
more correctly might be termed superficial-

Hy, denies every thing, even God. All that
our short-sighted, narrow understanding,
our undeveloped senses can not grasp, is
repudiated. Certainly this is the easier
method. I have never given way to super-
stition, have rather struggled against it,
(when I could,) but it has never occurred to
me to deny that our life is bound by invisi-
ble threads, to much that is wonderful and
incomprehensible ; and that there are per-
sons whose spiritual perceptions can pene-
trate dim distances."

The stranger's speech was received with
general attention. The Baron, flattered
that his opinion had been so powerfully
echoed, put out his meerschaum, and turn-
ing to the stranger asked politely: "Do
you intend to remain long in our town and
neighborhood? "

"That depends on circumstances," re-
plied the stranger. " I am awaiting letters
from Vienna."

"And where are you staying, if I may
ask?"

"In the 'Goldenen Adler," Herr Baron."

"Ah, well! If you have nothing better to
do, and should feel any weariness here, it
will give me pleasure to have you visit me
at my castle. It is scarcely half an hour's
drive from the town."

" I Jjiank you for your kind invitation.
Baron," said the unknown gentleman, bow-
ing. " I shall take the liberty of accepting
it. I inform you beforehand that, as necro-
mancy has long been a favorite pursuit, I
can cast horoscopes. Since you take pleas-
ure in such things I "

" Will you be obliged to tell me first how
long I have to live?" asked the Baron jest-
ingly. Then, midst hearty laughter, he
beckoned to his coachman, who, not far
from the cafe, waited for him under the
shade of a chestnut tree. .Swiftly he drove
up with an elegant pair of bays ; and the
Baron, politely bidding farewell to the com-
pany, drove off.

The guests remained longer, partly be-
cause of the various games going on, partly
from interest in continuing the conversa-
tion. The stranger, who had taken part in
the entertainment, now learned that Baron
S was one of the wealthiest estate own-
ers in that neighborhood, with sufficient
leisure to devote himself to scientific pur-
suits. This he did with much ardor e.xcept

Review.

at the hunting season, when everything
else was given up to the fascinations of this
sport. Consequently, he was known far
and wide as one of the best and most inde-
fatigable of hunters.

It must be acknowledged that Hungary
is not excelled, in the virtues of hospitality,
by any other state of the Austrian Empire.
And, further, that it is not usual there, as
elsewhere, to ask questions as to the rank,
occupation, etc., when a stranger tarries
with them.

Baron S had seen our interesting

friend for the first time, and without making
inquiries as to his name, character, etc., had
invited him to his home. The other guests
of the cafe conducted themselves as if he
had long been known to them ; and no one
present asked any indiscreet question as to
his aim or object.

Although such consideration must be
very agreeable to every stranger, it not sel-
dom happens that it rebounds to the injury
of those who practice it. Perhaps forty
years ago this did not as often occur as is
the case in our day. Now, unfortunately,
confidence between men is almost mythical
and everyone's security necessitates precau-
tionary measures in regard to all strangers.

The next day, as the sun was sinking
behind the western hills, a horseman rode
rapidly up the street, and passed through
the entrance which led to the Baron's castle.
Springing down he gave the reins into the
hands of an attendant, with the injunction
that the horse should be fed, but not unsad-
dled, as he might quickly need him again.
The Baron was strolling up and down the
garden. As soon as a visitor was announced
to him he entered the house, and recog-
nized the stranger whom he had so recently
met in the cafe. ^

"You come late, lUo, yet you come!"
said he in declamatory tone, quoting from
Wallenstein, "that is to say you are late in
so far as I had anticipated the pleasure of
your visit about noon, meanwhile I rejoice
that you have come."

He politely led the stranger into the house,
and into a charming ap.-irtment where they
were immediately served with refreshments.
A few minutes later an elderly, dignified
matron entered the room, whom the Baron
presented to his guest as his mother. After
first words and greetings had been ex-
changed the Baron remarked that his visitor
was very grave, and he said laughingly :
"Although earnestness well clothes the nec-
romancer— which you lately confessed your-
self to be — yet here, dear friend, you are
especially a guest, and as such must join
me in my cheerfulness. There will be time
enough after supper for us to give ourselves
up to serious reflections."

The stranger took this hint and endeav-
ored to be merry, yet he could not but show

that he was not in a mood to reciprocate the
Baron's sparkling humor. After a delicate
supper, and some most excellent Hunga-
rian wine, the stranger became more con-
versational. When the Baroness had with-
drawn, the Baron dismissed the servants,
and ordered that he and his guest should,
on no account, be disturbed. A strange
expression stole into the stranger's face as
he heard this, and his eyes shone with pecu-
liar brightness. Solely intent on being hos-
pitable the Baron remarked nothing of all
this. " Let us go into my more private
study," said he, "we can talk there more
fully at our ease." They went. When they
had entered, the Baron, bringing glasses
and a bottle of rare old wine from the little
adjoining closet, and placing them before
his guest, said ;

" In the first place, honored sir, allow me
the pleasure of knowing with whom I am
becoming acquainted. I trust you will not
deem this an unpardonable wish on my
part?"

" 1 will give you information in regard to
this somewhat later," replied the stranger.
"Are we cjuite safe from all intrusion ?"

" Perfectly so," answered the Baron.

"According to what I understood you to
say yesterday, Baron, you have some faith
in prophecy ? "

" Yes, indeed, I'll not deny it."

" Yesterday you asked me jestingly if I
could foretell how long you would live.
What will you say if I assure you that I can,
in all earnestness, tell the hour, and even
the minute when death will most positively
threaten you ?"

The speaker paused and looked at the
Baron with glowing eyes.

"What? What is this you say? Are
you really serious?" questioned the Baron
eagerly, but far from suspecting any con-
cealed meaning. " Can you really tell this,
and any events in connection ?"

"Quite surely, and truly! Listen, Baron.
I am in need of 5,000 florins, and must have
them. Give me this money if you do not
wish me to convince you that I am right,
and that 1 have this power."

"I do not understand you, sir," said the
Baron. " How is it possible to convince
me of what can only take place at an un-
certain time? "

" I shall only demand the money when
you have been fully convinced of my power.
Shall I receive it?"

" 1 pledge you my word without condi-
tion. Now speak."

"Very well, I have your word," said the
stranger solemnly. " What day of the
month is this?"

"The loth of August, " was the reply.

"Good, the loth of August, then, is the
day."

"What?"

"I said that is the day. By the clock on
"the wall I see it is precisely fifty-five min-
utes to eleven. In five minutes, then, it
will strike eleven. Day, hour and minute
are, therefore, foretold. One could not well
be more exact. In five minutes you shall
be dead."

Pale and alarmed the Baron started up
from his seat on the sofa.

"No alarm!" commanded the guest,
drawing two pistols from his pocket, cock-
ing them, and pointing one at the Baron.
The Baron dropped the bell-cord and re-
mained immovable.

" I thank you, Baron, that you do not
force me to the commission of two crimes.
Any cry, any sound of the bell that would
have called your servants, would have been
the signal of your death. In this case one
pistol was for you, the other, if 1 did not
succeed, for myself. As the aff'air now
stands I hope not to be obliged to use the
weapons."

He put them on the table, sat down and
begged the Baron to be seated, then he con-
tinued : " Do not judge me until you hear
me. There are moments in life of which
one can not give a proper account. I have
lost the sum I named to you in play. My
existence, my honor depends upon this
money. I am a beggar. Had I not become
acquainted with you last evening I would
have committed suicide. You aroused in
me a last hops. A solution of the question
came to me, it was — 'request or power.'
But who, even of earth's noblest, would give
5,000 florins because they were simply re-
quested ? I resolved upon the second
course. You have given me your word to
deliver this money to me as soon as you
were convinced that I held the power of
death. I think I have succeeded. Your
coolness has saved us both."

"I will keep faith, although the fear of
death does not compel it," returned the
Baron proudly.

".Sir," said the stranger, "you have
bought a costly experience, yet none too
dear if you profit by it. You are noble,
kind, generous, truly a noble man, and
although all these qualities adorn your char-
acter an indispensable is wanting, namely,
precaution — which should be named the
mother of wisdom. You probably thought
the majority of men were good-hearted, and
as worthy of confidence as you yourself;
therefore, you invited me, a stranger, after
the shortest acquaintance, to your house.
You have placed yourself wholly in my
power From this want of precaution on
your part has come my success. It might
have cost you your life. Am 1 not some-
what justified in giving you this les-
son?"

"True, all true!" sighed the Baron, who
went to his secretaire, and from a roll of

Sherman & Wyde's Musical Review.

bank notes counted the required sum.
" Here is the money," he said.

" I receive it with thanks," returned the
stranger, " but only as a loan for three
years. Think of me what you will until
three years have passed ; then you shall
have reason for forming another opinion of
the man whom the utmost despair has driven
to this daring deed. Can you pardon me ? "

" In God's name," replied the Baron.

"You are the noblest of men. I shall
never forget you. In three years you shall
receive capital and interest, together with
my name and position. Now I am going."

"I am convinced that I could, without
danger, leave these two pistols behind me,
yet, in order to enforce my own theory on
precaution, 1 must myself give you an ex-
ample by taking the dangerous weapons.
God bless you ! "

And seizing one of the lights from the
table the mysterious stranger disappeared.
A short time after, the clang of a horse's
hoofs resounded from the paved court. At
the dawn of day he had left the hotel.

Baron S spoke to no one of this ad-
venture, but it made him graver and more
reflective. Gradually he forgot the affair,
or, at least, he only recalled it in order to
wonder if the stranger would indeed keep
his word.

Twice had the loth of August passed.
About a week before the third anniversary
of this strange event, as the Baron was
about seating himself at the dinner table, a
post-office packet was delivered to him. It
was dated from New York, contained a
cheque for the original amount, together
with ten per cent, interest, and the follow-
ing hues :

Honored Herr. B.^ron: Your money
has brought me luck, although in a foreign
land. With the heartiest thanks 1 return it.
If you gave but sl%ht confidence to my
promise made you three years ago, the fact
of my keeping word now will strongly in-
cline you to believe that there are honest
men, strong and honorable of principle.
From afar I greet you, noiU man, and owing
much, nay, aUlo you, I remain

Your grateful compatriot,

Paul von Farkas.

"JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL."
The origin of the most precious of the
hymns of Charles Wesley has been very var-
iously described by those who have under-
taken inquiries concerning it. There is a
story of a controversy between Wesley and
Toplady which resulted in the two hymns for
which they are famous. One writer says a
little bird, which, in attempting to escape
from a hawk, flew into his study through an
open window, suggested to Wesley the
theme of his production. Neither of these
stories is satisfactory, for while either of them

would perhaps account for the prevailing
sentiment of the hymn it does not account
for the peculiar imagery employed in its de-
velopment. Mr. Long, whose valuable
work on the history of hymns has already
been reviewed in these columns, claims to
have reliable information on the subject.
His statement is certainly a plausible one
without regard to the source from which he
professes to have derived his knowledge,
while the fact that he gives the names of the
two persons who alone link him with an eye-
witness, renders it almost certain that he
has discovered the facts in the case.

The brothers John and Charles Wesley,
with Richard Pilnlore, were one evening
holding a twilight meeting on the common,
when they were attacked by a mob and fled
from its fury for their lives. The first place
of refuge that they found, after having been
for some time separated, was a hedge-row
near at hand, behind which they hid a few
minutes, protecting themselves from serious
injury by the missiles that fell like hail
about them, by clasping their hands above
their heads as they lay with their faces in the
dust. As night drew on, the darkness en-
abled them to leave their temporary retreat
for a safer one at some distance. They
found their way at last to a spring-house,
where, in comparative security, they waited
for their pursuers to weary of seeking them.
" Here they struck alight with a flint stone,"
dusted their soiled and tattered garments,
and, after quenching their thirst, bathed
their hands and faces in the water that bub-
bled from the spring and flowed away in a
sparkling streamlet. Then it was that
Charles Wesley was inspired to write, "Jesus
lover of my soul," with a bit of lead which
he had hammered into a pencil.

The history of this hymn would fill vol-
umes. It has entered more or less deeply
into the inner life of hundreds of thousands
of the Christians of the last century. It has
resolved doubts, dispelled fears, allayed
anxieties and soothed sufferings, how often,
how tenderly, who dares undertake to tell .'
A very touching incident in the last day of
the late President Finney has just appeared.
It was Sunday. After tea, according to his
custom, he was walking about his grounds
with his wife, enjoying a glowing sky and a
cool, refreshing breeze. Evening worship
in the church near at hand, which he him-
self planned, and in which he had preach-
ed nearly forty years, had just begun.
Presently there came floating out of the old
sanctuary the familiar strains of the dear old
hymn,

"Jesus, lover of my soul,"

He quickly caught it, devoutly joined the
invisible congregation, and kept them com-
pany to the end. Before the morning
dawned, the prayer then breathed was an-
swered, and he who had so long trusted in
Christ was " at last "received into the bosom
of his Savior. — Golden Rule.

A LOST DOG.

His name vos Bismarck, mit only von eye,
on accoundt of a old plack cat, vot pelongs
to a servant Irish gals mit red-headed hair.
Also he has only dree legs, on accoundt of a
mocolotif-engines mitout any cow-ketcher.
He vas palt-headed all over himself, gonse-
quenceofredhot vater, an accound of fight-
ing mit a old maidt's cat. On von endt of
himself vas skituated his head — und his tail
it vas py de oder endt. He only carries
apout vone half of his tail mit him, on ac-
coundt of a circular sawmill. He looks a
good deal more older as he is already, but
he ain't quite so oldt as dot until de next
Christmas.

De vay vot you can know him is, if you
calls him " Shack," he von't say nottings,
but makes answer to de name " Bismarck "
by saying " Pow-vow-vow ! " und, in de
meantime, v'agging half of his tail — dotoder
half vas cut off, so he can't of course, shake
it. Also, if you t'row some stones on top of
him, he vill run like de teufel, und holler
"Ky-yi! ky-yi ! " Dot's de vay you can
told my dog.

He looks like a cross petween a bullfound-
landt und a cat-mit-nine-tails — but he ain't.
He got not efen vone whole tail, und he ain't
cross not a pit.

I haf peen eferyvheres looking for dot tog.
Vhen I am in Canada de last veek, a pig
loafer-mans comes up to me, und says:
" Do you know I know you ? "
" No, you don't. Do I know you ? If I
know you, told me vonce who I vas."

"You vas Mr. Ross," says he, "und you
vas looking for your leetle Sharley."

"No, sir ; I vas Von Boyle," says I, " und
I vas looking for my leetle Bismarck."

I vill pay eferyvone vot vill brought me
dot tog or send him pack, fifteen cents C. O.
D., by Adams' Express office, mit a money
order und de prifilege of examining before
taking, to see if it vas maype counterfeit.

Anoder vay vot you could know if it vas Bis-
marck is dot he vos almost a dwin. He
would be half of a bair of dwins dot time,
only dere vas dree of dem — a bair of dwins
und a half.

Also he got scars on de top of his side,
vhere he scratched himself mit a Thomas
cat — but dot Thomas cat nefer recovered
himself.

You can also tell Bismarck on accoundt
of his vonderful inshtinct. He can outin-
shtinct any tog vot you nefer saw in my life.
For inshtinct, if you pat him on top of his
head mit your hand, he knows right avay
dot you like him, but if you pat him on de
head mit a pavement shtones or deshtickof
a proom, den he vill suspectrightoffdotyou
care not fery much apout him.

Sherman &■ Hyde's Musical Review

American Notes.

— Frartk Mayo has played Davy Crocket nearly 800

— Julius Eichbergisat work upon a symphonic poem
entitled Vineta.

— Ernest Longfellow, son of the poet, has recently
made $8,000 from his paintings.

—Dr. Holland's "Sevenoaks" is to be dramatized,
and Mr'. Raymond will appear as Jim Fenton.

—It is reported that Mapleson will return to this
country in October with Titiens and a whole opera
troupe.

—Madame Arabella Goddard's delivery of Cusins'
Concerto is declared by critics to be masterly, and her
mechanism absolutely faultless.

—The score of Wagner's Centennial March consists
of 35 pages in manuscript, all in the composer's own
hand. A more beautiful musical autograph is seldom

print.

— Wm. McDonald, the sculptor, has succeeded in
modeling a bust of the late Alexander T. Stewart, en-
tirely from memory, having no measurements or ma-
terial to work from. The portrait of the face is said
to be a striking one.

—Anna Dickinson's wardrobe is said to be the most
elegant which has ever been prepared in this country
for the stage. She has been in constant receipt of
letters from her Quaker friends imploring her not to
enter the theatrical held.

— A Boston newspaper says: "Miss Matilda Phil-
lips, the famous contralto, was at Miss Booth's re-
ception in New York on Saturday night. She is
petite, piquant, and pretty, and so young that it does
not seem possible that she could have sung in this city
thirteen years ago.

— Mrs. Prentiss, author of" Stepping Heavenward,"
and many other works which are having a wide cir-
culation and influence, has made a valuable and very
graceful gift to the Fair of the Young Women's Chris-
tian Association. It is the copy-right of a dramatic
poem in five acts, Griselda, which she has translated
from the German of Frederich Halm, the scene of
which IS laid in England in the days of King Arthur.
It is published by the Association, and will be sold
for the benefit of its building fund.

— Mr. Alexander Agassiz has been elected in his
father's place, to the three principal zoological and
natural history societies of Europe, in each of which
the number of foreign honorary members is limited,
namely, the Zoological Society of London, the Lin-
nean Society of London, and the Imperial Society of
Natural History of Moscow. He has also been the
first to receive the grand honorary Walker prize of
the Boston society of natural history, which is given
once in five years for the most important publication
during that period relating to the natural history of
the United States.

—In his sketch of Hawthorne Mr. J. T. Fields re-
lates how Longfellow came into possession of the le-
gend on which was founded the pathetic poem of
" Evangeline." Hawthorne, accompanied by a friend
from Salem, took dinner one day with the poet, and in
the course of the conversation remarked: "I have
been trying to persuade Hawthorne to write a story
based upon a legend of Acadia, and still current there
—a legend of a girl who, in the dispersion of the Aca-
dians, was separated from her lover, and passed her
life in waiting and seeking for him, and only found
him dying in a hospital when both were old." The
imagination of Longfellow was deeply stirred by the
story, and he expressed great surprise that Haw-
thorne did not find it suited to his genius. " If you
have really made up your mind nut to use it for a
story," he asked, " will you give it to me for a poem?"
Hawthorne willingly resigned all interest in the le-
gend, agreeing not to make any use of it until Long-
fellow had tried what wonder his muse could work it
into. The product of the poet's effort is the much-
admired "Evangeline" — a touching illustration in
musical verie of the fidelity of

If'

—Tennyson is said to have written " Come into the
Garden Maud," more than fifty times before it pleased
him.

—The first organ ever built consisted of hi t one
octave, with keys a yard long and struck with the
fists.

—Old Mrs. Dorkins (looking at a pair of stuffed sea-
dogs)— " Do they ever bark, dear?" Pretty Niece
Clara— "No, auntie, not now. Their bark is on the

—Edmund Yates always dictates his novels, and has
lor an amanuensis an exceedingly grave and unimagi-
native man. On one occasion, when about to begin
his day's work, Mr. Yates inquired : " Where did we
leave off?" " Where we were pressing her hps, sir,"
replied the secretary, in a matter-of-fact way.

— A Cincinnatian who had purchased an oil painting
at a private sale, called in an artist to consult how he
should hang it. The artist looked at it long and curi-
ously and then said: "I wouldn't hang it if I were
you." "Wouldn't hang it? Why not?" "Because
the sentiment of the age is against capital punishm.ent.
I would commute its sentence to solitary imprison-
ment for life."

— A nice thing in oil for your dining-room — a box of
sardines. A good place to study marines— Charles-
town navy yard. A panel picture — when you are
drawn on a jury. A flour piece—" the miller and his
men." The art club— a maul stick. The first man
who made a study of an interior— Jonah. A good
warm coloring— the brown on a breakfast roll. Artist-
tick — the painter's bill. A good figure piece — the
multiplication table. A study of heads— phrenology.
A good drawing— fifty thousand in a lottery. High
colors — the clouds and sky.

—Olive Logan . The eyes of Mrs. Yoshida. wife of
the Japanese Minister, are black and soft and lumin-
ous, and there is in them a strange, uneasy shrinking
from observation— a sort of fear- which perhaps this
lady herbelf never knew, for she is young, and has
lived in an age of progress; but this eye-expression is
an index of the abject modesty of the women in the
East, the moral and physical abasement of the sex,
which has lasted through arons of forgotten time In
another generation or two the women of Japan will
probably be as quick of eye and as saucy of speech as
some Washington belles.

— Bulow splurted out : " There's all that nice stuff
about Italy being the cradle of art, and so on. Cradle
of art, indeed ! Humph ! So it was ; but what of it ?
They have been satisfied with being the cradle, and
have rocked it so long that they've gone to sleep.
Verdi is largely responsible for it. I am a thorough-
y of the Verdi style of

GOD BLESS OUR GLORIOUS LAND

Columbia, great and glorious,

Our song we raise to thee,

Tile refuge of the oppressed,

May plenty and eoutentmeut

Abound on every Bide,

And peace and love fraternal,

In all her coast, abide.

Chorus: Among her lovely valleys.

Her plains, and mountains grand,
O, let the prayer re-echo,
God bless our glorious land.

All hail the glorious morning

That lirst her flag unfurled.

The envy of the nations.

The glory of the world.

Though Kings may scoff and hate her,

Whose rule is by the sword.

They dare not but respect her,

.\nd tremble at her word. Chorus —

Should enemies 'or danger.
E'er threaten our fair land,
May heaven protect her borders.
And smite each hostile hand ;
Her starry flag in glory.
Still wave from sea to sea.
And justice reigu triumphant,
'And every man be free. Chorus—

LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS

New Okleans, La., June 20, 1870.

Editor Review. — Music is for the nonce
" hors du combat" in the Crescent City. Our
(lull season has commenced in earnest ; our
theatres have closed their respective seasons
some time since, and even the usual series
of amateur miisico-dramatic entertainments
— which constitute the twilight between the
hey-day of musical feasts and the lethargic
tiiglit of silence — is over, and the monotony
is not even varied by a serenade, or orchestra
strains from the ball room. Tlie domain of
in usic in our section is being .sadly encroached
upon by that of politics — which is the all-
al)sorbing theme. Just now, with all classes,
and is even infusing itself into the bulli of
current compositions, laying under contri-
bution such eminent genius as that of Wag-
ner, Thomas and others — but all this you
know. Musi(^ at its best season with us has
for some years been under a cloud in .sym-
pitliy with our almost chronic condition of
financial depression and political agitation —
or more aptly — oppression. Tidings from
the "Occident" report a much happier con-
dition of att'airs with you.

We have a fair share of native talent, but
little genius. Our best musicians seem to
have no fondness for going before the world
on handsome title pages, and write little or
nothing, leaving the whole lield to a few
light weights. Consequently no grand
musical ideas or tine harmonies emanate
from our American Paris. In a city of nearly
a quarter of a million population, we have
only three piano and organ dealers. These
and two other houses deal in sheet music.
All publish a little, but when I tell you tliat
one tirm, Blackmar & Finney, publLsh twice
as much as all the rest, and that one lithog-
rapher does the work for all and could do
more, yon will see that few of the new com-
positions under which dealers' shelves are
groaning all over the country, emanate from
this latitude. But, as you know, nine-tenths
of current new music is the veriest trash.
The trutli is tliat tlic musical standard, with
a few exceptions, is generally so low that a
simple waltz from the pen of some impecu-
nious '-soi-disant " composer at .$5 and
twenty-five copies for the manu.script, meets
with so much readier sale, than a more
meritorious effort, with good ideas, liut
requiring study to correctly interpret; that

p. .rigors of aliility have aljandoned the field i
in disgust.

Our city has given the woiiJ few new pub-
lications of any kind lately. Among the few
the most prominent are the " Martha Wash-
ington" Minuet, (Blackmar & Finney,)
danced witli great eclat at the recent Centen-
nial entertainments at our French Opera
House and elsewhere. The figures are
unique and novel, and fully explained in the
text, French and English. I mail you a copy,
also a new song from same publishers,
possessing some merit, although exceedingly
simple; it is of a pathetic character, and
awakens pleasant memories of old associa-
tions in the southerner's heart. A popularity
approaching that of "Old Folks at Home"
is anticipated for it. Wagner's Centennial
(Trand March is on the counters cf onr music
stores, but is in light demand ; probably,
because it is difficult to do it justice on the
piano, it being peculiarly an orchestral com-
position. Among the thousand and one
other Centennial compositions 1 can think of
no other of much merit. Germany's tribute
to America in the shape of a " Patriotic Cen-
tennial Hymn," is a grand effort, compara-
tively, superior probably, to the great
" Wacht am Rhein." I also mail you a little
ballad with chorus that has been received
with favor, " Little Joe," (publislied by
Blackmar & Finney.) I forgot to mention,
that notwith.standing the heat and other dis-
couraging conditions, we have an amateur
string quintette, the members of which, with
heroic pertinacity, meet twice a week and get
in two to tliree solid hours of "Schuliert,"
"Beethoven," "Mozart," "Rode" and
"Kuffner," and they express a determina-
tion to 1 lay it out on that line " if it takes all
summer." With sincere apology for afilic-
ting you with .so stale a letter, I am

Yours truly Baritone.

LETTER FROM WEIMAR.

[We have been kindly permitted to make
the following e.xtract from a privat<.' letter
from a lady resident of San Francisco, now
stopping in Weimar, Germany, to a friend in
this city. The graphic description of a visit
to the distinguished Liszt, will, we are sure,
be of interest to our readers. — Ed. Review.]

At last, Lina and I have been to call on
the, justly celebrated Liszt, and have h.ad the
privilege of hearing liim play. We sent him
our letter of introduction, and he returned
his card, inviting us to call upon him the
next afternoon between three and five o'clock.
.Soon after we were seated in his pleasant
room, and found him alone. He shook
hands with us most cordially, and entered
into conversation in his most affable manner.
In a short time a lady and several young
men came in, the latter singly, music in
hand, a part of them Liszt's compositions;
the remainder original compositions, brought
for his criticism. The first coiner brought
Liszt's ".Spinnelied," which he played
beautifully, while the great master paced the
room, stopping occasionally to speak a word
of approval or criticism, or going to the piano
and playing passages himself, as he desired
them to be rendered. The same course was
pursued with each of the young musicians
in turn. A young American brought a
" Romance" which he had composed, and
played it. Several parts of it he praised
highly, but others ho corrected in pencil.

All this was very interesting I assure you.
Liszt is very kind to these young men ; very
generous in giving his time and means to
assist them ; and we were impressed not
only with his nobleness of character, but

with the fascination of his social qualities.
At the end, we were deliglited to hear him
play a line piece <tl ■■tiijlit, aii'.l with as bril-
liant execution and charming expression as
if he had committed it to memory. It seems
to me that he must have caught the spirit of
the music, and liad a personal sympathy with
the composer, else he could not have rendered
the piece with such feeling and beauty. This
piece was handed him by a fine-looking old
gentleman, Herr Thern, who is a composer
of some note, and who has two sons who are
superior players and give concerts ; their
pieces being principally composed or ar-
ranged by their father. At the close of this
delicious performance, Liszt played parts of
the same piece again, and illustrated his
views of it, while his friends gathered around
him eager to catch every word.

As we rose to go, the great master looked
benignly at us, and said in English, "Now
we have had a little concert," and went on
in German, " Yon have ILstened to the young
men and to my old weakness." We tried to
tell him how much we had appreciated and
enjoyed it. As he accompanied us to the
door, he asked our addresses, and shook
hands with us in the most genial manner.
I had almost forgotten to state that Liszt
conversed in French, German, Italian and
English with his visitors, and seemed almost
equally at ease in each of these languages.

A special merit in the Weber Pianos is the
singing quality of tone, which lends to them
ail inestimable charm. — [New York Evening

THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION..

From the advices which reach us from all
parts of the Union, we are .satisfied that in
no other city, e.xcepting of course, Philadel-
phia, has the Centennial anniversary of our
nation's independence been celebrated with
more enthusiasm and splendor than in San
Francisco. In producing this result our
citizens had very little aid from neighboring
towns and cities, for the patriotic spirit in
almost every town in the State led to local
celebrations, in which all took a just pride.
The National colors adorned almost every
building in the city, and the decorations of
the principal business streets were most
elaborate and beautiful.

Our space will not admit of a proper
description of the various proceedings, inclu-
ding the bombardment, sham battle, regatta,
procession, literary exerci.ses and other in-
teresting features of this memorable occasion.
Centennial services were held in nearly all
the churclies in the city, and the various
social and literary societies held appropriate
meetings.

CENTENNIAL MASQUERADE.

The Mechanic's Pavilion contained three
thousand spectators on the occasion of the
Centennial Carnival Masquerade. A superior
orchestra, conducted by Prof. A, A. Saunders,
played several popular airs, followed by the
Grand March, and the column of maskers
appeared at ten o'clock. The lloor was well
filled, and every variety of costume was pre-
sented, from the plainest to the most elabo-
rate. Some of the maskers were dressed very
richly, others in grotesque style, and their
personations were well etfeeted. The dan-
cing was most spirited, and the spectators
were greatly Interested. The Centennial
Military Quadrille, by sixteen members of
the First Regiment, was one of the features
of the occasion. A number of prizes wore
awarded.

STRAKOSCH OPERA.

Since our last number went to press, the
Strakosch concert season at Baldwin's Aca-
demy of JIusic closed. lu these conceits,
the piano accompaniments were played by
the manager, Mr. Maurice .Strakosch, whose
excellent taste was deservedly admired.

The short season of opera commenced on
the 26th ult. with La Favorita, which was
repeated on the oOth ; and H Barbiere di
Siviglia was given on the 28th ult. and 1st
inst. Mile. Anna de Belocea, in the latter
opera, was a charming Rosina. While her
voice is less powerful than that of some other
noted artists, it possesses a melodious fullness
and warmth, especially in the middle and
lower register, which are seldom observed.
Her expression is refined and never exagger-
ated, and her acting is graceful and natural.
The second performance of La Favorita was
in our judgment superior to those of II Bar-
biere, and the passionate song of Leonora,
"O Mio Fernando" was rendered with such
feeling as to win enthusiastic applause. Be-
locca's pure vocalization is agreeably supple-
mented by her singularly pleasing manners.

Mr. Tom Karl was in decidedly better voice
in opera than in concert, especially in La
Favorita, where he showed unexpected
power, and his elegant acting was the subject
of much comment. .Signor Tagliapietra had
the role of Figaro in II Barbiere, which
seemed too light for his powerful voice; but
as Alfonso in La Favorita his rich chest
tones were superbly displayed, and his solo
" A Tanto Amor" was loudly encored.

Mr. Karl Formes, Signor G. Mancusi and
Mrs. Geo. T. Evans each appeared on these
occasions, and sang their parts in good taste.
Their i)ersonation of the .several characters
is wortliy of particular commendation.

The cliorus and orchestra under the direc-
tion of Prof. Geo. T. Evans, did very well
considering the limited time they had for
rehearsal.

We arc pleased to learn that a complimen-
tary benefit is to be tendered to Mile. Belocea
before her departure by her numerous friends
and admirers.

CHANGES IN SCHOOLS.

Since our last number, several changes
have occurred among the teachers, three
of which affect the principalships. Prof,
.lohn Swett, who is closely identified with
the history of the enlarged public school
system of California, and who has become
justly celebrated for his ability as an
organizer, suiierinteiident, and teacher,
has been uuaiiinidusly elected by the
Board of Educatiuii, as Principal of the
Girls' High School, vice E. H. Holmes,
resigned. This appointment reflects
honor upon the Board, and no promotion
could be better deserved. One of the
most sti iking characteristics of this
talented educator is his intense love for
music ; and the regular music-teacher,
Prof. Washington Elliot, has received
powerful co-operation from Prof. Swett,
in his instruction of the pupils in the
Denman Grammar School, which, in sing-
ing, excels all other schools in this city,
and is confessedly unsurpassed l)y any
Grammar school in the Union.

Prof. James Denman, well and favor-
ably known as a superintendent and
practical instructor, who has for years
been prominent in the educational world,
and been distinguished for his ability in
every position assigned him, has been
elected Principal of the Denman Gram-
mar School, vice .lohn Swett, promoted.
Prof. Denman will be ]iarticularly at
home in the school which bears his name,
of which he was formerly principal, and
which he has always regarded with a
deej' interest. '

Prof. W. A. Robertson, who has for
some yeai-s been Vice Principal of the
Lincoln Grammar Sciiool, has been elected
Principal of the Geary-street school, vice
Miss M. J. Hall, transferred. Prof. Rob-
ertson has been well-known as an earnest
and successful teacher, and is still Prin-
cipal of the ?]vening Schools of this city,
a position which he has filled to univer-
sal acceptance.

MR. FRED. BORNEMAN.

We are jileased to note the arrival in
this city of the gentleman whose name
heads this article. A native of Germany,
he has been for some years in New Vurk,
where he has been distinguished as a
basso of rare merit. His voice is rich,
smooth and powerful, and he particularly
excels in oratorio selections. We wel-
come Mr. Boriieman to our city, and
trust he may have engagements worthy of
his talent.

The tones of a Weber Piano pos.sess an
organ degree of power, besides intense Ijril-
liancy. — [New Y'ork Herald.

They can hardly be .said to have a rival.—
[Now York Tribinic.

The pure luality and volume of tone and
workmanship of the Weber Piano-fortes are
justly commended by all the first artists of
this country. — [Evening Post.

OUR PHILADELPHIA CORRESPONDENCE.

Philadelphia, June 20. 18Tt>.

Dkak Review. — If any of your readers on
the Pai-ilir Coast fail to appreciate tlie oliiiiate
of Califoiiiia, let them come to I'hiUulelphia
siieh ii clay as this, with the thermometer at
1(10° ill the shade, and if they do not soon
long for tlie trade winds of San Francisco,
then I am no prophet. The worst feature of
the hot weather with me is a chronic thirst,
to alleviate whicli I try soda water, lemonade,
ice water, lager beer and in fact every remedy
except suicide, until I feel like a distended
balloon, filled with liquors instead of gas.
Judging from the innumerable saloons and
stands where these beverages are dispensed
to tile multitude at five to ten cents per glass,
it would a|ipear that others are no better oil
in tliis particular. The nights seem to be as
hot as the days, and even the covering of a
sheet is uncomfortable.

If tlie street car horses had lieen allowed a
voice in the matter, the Centennial Exposition
would have been held somewhere else, for it
is painful to see the loads of liuinanity that
they are compelled to draw morning and
evening. The gentlemen here are not so apt
to surrender their seats to the ladies as in
San Francisco, and if a man does so it is to
be concluded that he is a stranger. This
fact doubtless arises from the "Woman's
Riglits" movement, which has been so wide-
spread that it is now generally admitted that
a woman lias as good a right to stand up in
a horse ear as anybody. I notice that the
conductors and drivers are eacli provided
with a stool to sit on, instead of being com-
pelled to stand all day as in San Francisco;
also that men are stationed at short distances
on the road to water the horses.

THE EXPOSITION

has now been running for over a month, and
I have hoard but one expre.ssion of opinion,
and that is of unqualitied admiration. It is
a " big show" and my fir.st impressions of it
were so bewildering that I was at a loss where
to commence. I soon found it advisable to
system..ti/.e my time, and dotermine each
morning wliicli Ijuilding I would visit, and
to wliat part of it I would give my attention
that day. Without such a method, one might
see the same olyeets repeatedly and wholly
miss others.

PIANOS.

The piano manufacturers make a very
creditable exhibit, near tlie east end of the
iijain building, and when I .see the number
of different makers, I wonder where all the
pianos go to. Weber has engaged the ser-
vices of the well-known pianist J. N. Patter-
son, who gives a recital every afternoon at
one o'clock, which attracts a large audience
on every occasion. Mr. Weber expresses
himself as confldent of receiving the first
premium if the .same is given upon superior
merit; lint entre nous, there is

WAR

among llic piano men, and the end is not yet.
When the judges were first nominated, there
was considerable discontent, and it was
thought to be a put-up job in favor of a cer-
tain rich maker. The feeling began to assume
shape on the Gth and 7th insts., when the
President of a prominent manufacturing
company published a card withdrawing his
pianos from competition, on tlie grounds of
unfairness in tlie selection of the judges.
The Executive Committee in reply character-
ized the imiiutation of unfairness as "grossly
unjust;" which elicited another letter from
the manufacturer, in which he closes as
follows: " As Philadelphia manufacturers,
deeply interested in the success of the Cen-
tennial, we should regret to have to prefer

formal charges against any memljer of the
jury, but if the issue is forced upon us we
are ready to meet it." Other piano makers
will probably withdraw also, and there is
talk of the case getting into the courts.

ORGAN.S.

The display of reed organs is also good,
but Peloubet, Pelton & Co., manufacturers of
the "Standard" are the only makers who
show only a line of goods from their regular
stock. Tlie others liave expended time and
money in getting up elaborate cases, with all
kinds of fancy stops and effects, which al-
tliough pretty to look at, are not fair samples
of their ordinary workmanship. In pipe
organs, there are only two of any considerable
size, one by a New York maker, and the
otlier by Hook ifc Hastings of Boston, the
latter of wliich is deserving of special mention.
Although it cannot be classed among the
great organs of the country, it has a remark-
ably powerful tone, so regulated as not to be
at all liarsh. A technical description of it
would interest but few of your readers, and
I will only say that it is 32 feet wide, 40 feet
high, and 21 ft. deep, and has 4 manuals, .59
stops and '2704 pipes, the longest being 24 ft.
in length and 14 inches in draught; while
the shortest is three eighths of an inch. The
Price asked is ?1.5,000. A concert is given
every day bj' distinguished organists, among
whom liave been H. G. Tliunder and David
D. Wood of Philadelphia, H. Bialla of Brook-
lyn N. Y., and H. Clarence Eddy of Chicago.
Hook it Hastings also exhibit a miniature
two manual organ, whieli is only three and
a half feet liigh, three feet wide and twenty
inches deep ; yet is a perfect organ in every
particular and of very good tone. The parts
are covered with glass so tliat tlie working
thereof can be readily seen.

INSTRUMENTAL.

Gilmore's celebrated band perform every
day in Lansdowne Valley within the Exhi-
bition enclosure. They were first located in
Machinery Hall, but people complained be-
cause tlie engines had to be stopped in eon-
se<iuence. Then they were moved to the
main building, and people found fault
becau.se the CTOwd impeded travel. The last
move however gives general satisfaction, for
those who do not like music do not have it
forced upon them, while those who do can
enjoy it under tlie green trees.

A French firm exhiliit a novel instrument
called a " Pianista," a box on wheels, which
is a mechanical piano player. It is wheeled
up in front of any piano, placed in position
so that the keys of I1ie Pianista rest on the
keys of the piano, then liy turning a crank
you can have Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn
or any composition you please. The music
is sold by the yard in the shape of perforated
cardboard, which goes in on one side and
out on the other, as the music is executed
and the crank turns. O ye skilled musicians
who liave devoted a lifetime to studj', where
now is your art, when a cliild can imitate
you by turning a crank !

In tlie Horticultural Hall I saw a large
Orchestrion which is operated by electricity,
tlie music being also furnislied Ijy sheets of
perforated card-board, whicli the operator
puts in between the rollers and then the in-
strument ran itself as long as tlie card board
lasted.

CONCERTS.

On the 10th in.st. the Handel and Haydn
Society attended the Exposition in a body
and rendered some very fine choruses from
ditt'erent oratorios. Tlie grand eft'ects how-
ever, were nearly lost in such a vast building,
for except when d-rectly in front, I could
scarcely hear them at a distance of three
hundred feet away.

I liavo enjoyed a rich treat during my stay

here in attending the Theodore Thomas con-
certs, given at the Fore.st Mansion under the
auspices of the Women's Centennial Commit-
tee, but I regret to say that Philadelphia
people do not sufficiently appreciate Mr.
Thomas' magnificent orchestra to give him
the support he deserves. I have felt almost
indignant to hear such divine music rendered
to a liouse two thirds full. There is one
reason however for the slim attendance, and
that is the excessive fatigue e.xperieneed after
a days visit to the Centennial Exposition. A
person needs be very strong in body or have
a great love for good music, to drag their
tired limits out in the evening, after such a
day of labor. Y'ours truly X.

WEBER PIANO AT THE CENTENNIAL.

We e.vtract tlic following interesting para-
graphs from an article on the Centennial, in
a recent number of tlie New Y'ork Sunday
Me'Cicrij :

" Perhaps in no branch of American man-
ufacture is the Exposition more advanced
than in the delightful item of musical instru-
ments.

In the centre of the main building stands
a gorgeous triumph of art and New Y'ork
manufacture, the handsomest Piano in the
world. To see this piano is worth in itself
a visit to the Exposition. It will delight
alike the eyes of the belle, the artist, and the
cabinet - maker, while it will charm their
ears.

' A thing of beauty is a joy forever.'
This piano is a Weber concert grand, of the
ordinary size and shape. Its workmanship
is beyond description — gorgeous. Five
woods are displayed in the case — holly, red
cedar, Spanish mahogany, ebony, and rose-
wood. It may be described as a band of
ebony, embroidered or flowered with the
other woods, and inclosed and .supported by
rosewood. The design or pattern of the
ornamentation is exquisitely simple, sweet
and artistic ; while the tout ensemble is rich
beyond adjectives. It is an art gallery on
three legs, each leg being composed of solid
ro.sewood, and worth in its own right ?200.
The lyre, or pedal, is likewise of rosewood,
elaborately inlaid. The overstrings are
covered with silver, the hardware is heavily
plated, every appointment is of the richest,
yet at the same time most delicate descrip-
tion— it is a poet's dream in tangible shape ;
a fashion-plate in wood and metal. It rep-
resents two years work, and an expense of
over $.5,000 ; but it also represents much
more — it illustrate the progress of American
pianofortes ; it demonstrates the perfection
attained by New Y'ork piano manufacturers.
For, as a piano pure and simple, the instru-
ment we are describing stands unsurpassed
in the world.

As a musical iiLstrument, it has no supe-
rior in creation, for it is one of Weber's best
— or rather it is a genuine Weber. In Ijril-
liancy and sweetness of tone ; in delicacy,
j-et firmness of touch ; in clearness and soft-
ness of tlie uper notes, and tlie volume and
fullness of the lower register ; in durability ;
in purity and depth ; in adaptation to the
human voice ; in every quality needed by a
piano, the great American piano familiarly
known as Weber has always surpassed in
itself a Centennial chef d'oeuvre.

Anthem. — We have recently published an
anthem of decided merit, composed by J. W.
Yarndlcy, the baritone of the First Congre-
tional Church in this city, and dedicated to
his associates in the choir. The words used,
"I sought the Lord," are from the 34th
Psalm.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Ckntennial Praise Service. — At the
First Congregational Church, Rev. A. L.
Stone, D. D., Pastor, a patriotic praise service
was given on the 2ntl Inst. The church was
beautifully draped with the National colors,
and decoiated with floral olTerings. An au-
dience of over two thousand were seated,
over live hundred stood with commendable
quietude during the entire ser\ice, and more
than one thousand persons were unable to
gain admittance. A brief and pungent ad-
dress was given by Dr. Stone. A voluntary
on the organ, by Barnby, was played by Mr.
Samuel D. Mayer, and the following pieces
were rendered by the choir: 'Te Deum
Laudamus," bj' G. W. Warren, in D major;
solos by Mrs. Lizzie P. Howell, Mr. S. D.
Mayer, and Mr. J. W. Yarndley ; Ottertorium
"OSalutaris" by Bassini, soprano solo by
Mrs. Howell; "Deus Misereatur" by Gou-
nod, solos by Mrs. Howell and Mr. Mayer;
" Cantate Domino," by Bayley in C major, by
the choir, including Mrs. R. H. Brown. To
those who have listened to this superior
quartette it will seem superfluous to state
that their performance was one of remark-
able merit. The ottertorium was prominent
above the other pieces for the excellence of
its rendering, but we question the taste of
giving it in I^atin at a praise service, when
our own language is so rich in sacred verse.
The immense congregation, led by the organ,
and by a selected brass band, sang the well-
known tunes. Old Hundred, Duke Street,
Rockingham and Pleyel's Hynjii. The Star
Spangled Banner was eflTectively given as
solos by Mrs. Howell and Mr. ilayer, with
chorus by the congregation. The changing
of the melody in one instance, seemed to us
of doubtful propriety. The closing piece
" America" was magnificently sung by the
choir and congregation, led by the organ and
brass instruments, and tlie ett'ect was grand
and impressive.

CentenniaIj Praise Servipe. — .\ patriotic
praise service was given Sunday evening,
.Inly 2d, in the First Congregational Church,
Oakland, under the direction of the organiist.
Miss DHlaye. Although the occasion was
one to inspire the most brilliant ett'orts, its
success was beyond anything over attempted
here, in the way of a praise service. The
church itself wore a holiday aspect, and
charmed the eye, by an artistic mingling of
flowers with red, white and blue. The Na-
tional Flag which has been such a feature in
all decorations this year, looked beautifully
upon the church walls, and the centennial
letters, put up in red geraniums by Mr. F.
Richart, a prouiinent artist of San Francisco,
were generally admired. The programuie,
which was one of noble taste and variety,
gave evident pleasure to an immense audi-
ence, and reflected especial lionor upon Miss
Dillaye, who showed throngliout, an ability
as conductor the more to be admired and
appreciated, because so unusual in a lady.
Whittier's "Centennial Hymn" was given
in grand style by chorus and orchestra; but
the finest selection of the evening was the
(.'antata of Dudley Buirk, sang by a choir
improvised for tlie occasion, with the assis-
tance of Mr. F. liorncmann. The dramatic
efl'ect, whicli tlie composer has certainly stu-
died in this cantata, was enhanced liy the
beautiful orchestral accompaniment, played
almost improinptu,ljy musicians who .showed
much taste and ability. Mr. t'rabtree, tenor
and Mrs. Haniford, soprano, also deserve
especial mention for the spirited manner in
which they rendered their solo parts. Mr.

Borueman is a basso of power and I'icliness
of voice, and his singing of the solo " Who
fears the Lord" from Handel's Susanna, was
superb. Thisoratorio, which seemssuddenly
to have enchanted England, was given last
winter in Boston, and should also be recog-
nized by the Western World. In dignity and
fire this solo rivals any in tlie ^fl•■'i■1)tl/l and
upon thisoccasion gave infinite pleasure to the
lovers of Handel's nuisic. Mr. McLean's
address was eloquent and patriotic. The
exercises closed with a " Chant Nationale,"
performed by organ and orchestra, introdu-
cing a number of patriotic airs, " Yankee
Doodle" included.

Centennial Service. — A praise service
was held at the Mason St. Synagogue on the
1st inst. An able address was given t)y Rev.
Dr. Bethelheim. The service opened with a
fine "Centennial Hymn" composed by
Prof. Gustav A. Scott, the organist, which
was beautifully rendered by the following
clioii- : sopranos. Misses Laura De Russy aud
C. E. Raymond and Mrs. Samuel Rosener;
altos. Misses Renter and Levy and Mrs.
Clement; tenors, Messrs. Eisenbach, Elliott
and Clark; bassos, Messrs. Macon, E. Pique
and Goldsmith. A "Thanksgiving Hymn"
by Bristow; "Hallelujah" by Sulzer;
" Zigdal" after Verdi and " This is the Day"
by Scott, were leading pieces on the musical
programme, and were excellently rendered.
The Declaration of Independence was read
by E.x Governor Salomon.

Centexni-ivl .Service. — .Vt the Taylor St.
Synagogue, on the 2nd inst. a special Cen-
tennial service was held. An eloquent and
patriotic oration was delivered by Rev. Dr.
H. Vidaver, and we regret that we have not
space for even an abstract of it. The excel-
lent music was under the direction of Prof.
Clias. H. Hoftman, and included portions
of Psalm 92 and 108, the music for the latter
composed by Prof. Hott'man. Among the
interesting features was a duet " Great Eter-
nal" by Misses Louise Tourny aud Rebecca
.Solomon. This service was attended by a
crowded house, and the synagogue was ele-
gantly decorated.

Centennial Service. — On the 1st inst.,
at the Temple Emanu-EI, on .Sutter stn«t, a
praise service was held, and very largely at-
tended. Rev. Dr. Cohn delivered a liberal and
patriotic address. A double quartette choir
discoursed finished mu.sic, including solos
by Mrs. Li/./.ie P. Howell, Mrs. John Tre-
hane, Mrs. Wertheimer, Miss Levy, Mr.
Chas. PHueger and Mr. Walter C. Campbell.
The singing of the cantor, Kev. Mr. Wolf,
was one of the most interesting features.
The Centennial Hymn composed by .John G.
Whittier, and that by Lcjeal, were greatly
admired by the audience. The temple was
mo.st elaborately and beautifully decorated.

Centennial Service at San Mateo. —
On the 2nd inst. at the Catholic Church in
San Mateo, Rev. Father Dempsey, Pastor, a
special religious aud musical .service was
held. Mass was sung by the choir, composed
of Miss Minnie Parrott, soprano; Miss Daisy
Parrott, alto; Mr. Tlieodore Habelmann,
tenor; Prof. G. Nathanson, basso; and Mr.
Louis Homeier, organist. Tlic Misses Parrott
sang their parts eX(^ellontly, and the gentle-
men are well known artists of this city, and
did themselves j;istice. Prof. Nathanson
sang also the .\vc Verum by Rosveig. This
superior choir is equal to that of any t)f the
Catholic Churches in this citv.

TiOLCMNE Re-i'nion. — The Ninth Annual
Picnic of the Tuolumne Re-union .\ssociation
was held at Badger's Central Park in Oak-
land, on the 17th ult., and was > ery largely
attended. The musical and literary exercises
both possessed greater merit than those of
previous entertainments. The ".Star Spangled
Banner," the " Hallelujah Chorus" and a
Gloria were brilliantly rendered by the
Handel and Haydn Society of this city and
the Oakland Harmonic Society, under the
direction of Mr. John P. Morgan, who has
proved himself a most efficient conductor.
Mr. C. Makin gave in exellent style the song
"The Sword of Bunker Hill." A report by
Dr. W. P. Gibbons, a poem by Hon. C. H.
Chamberlain and an oration by Hon. Chas.
H. Randall were all listened to with unwea-
ried interest. Dancing in the pavilion, be-
fore and after the other exercises was a great
attraction.

Handel .\nd Haydn Concert. — A concert

and soiree were given on the 30th ult. at

Dashaway Hall, under the ilirection of Mr.

John P. Morgan. The part songs, "Evening"

and " Linden Tree" by Hauptmann were

highly appreciated by the audience. A song

by Miss Clara Beutler was warmly received.

Selections from the oratorio of Elijah were

admirably given by Mr. Fred. Bornemann

and Mr. J. F. Hughes with chorus by the So-

j cieties. Mr. Bornemann is a basso of unusual

power, who has recently arrived in this city,

and with whom oratorio singing is aspecialty.

I .\t the close of the concert, a fine programme

I of danites was presented, which were a source

j of enjoyment to the large number present.

' Pkof. L. M(eser's Concerts. — At Piatt's
Hall on the 18th and 25th ult.. Prof. L. Mip-
ser gave concerts. On the last occasion, a
1 leading attraction was Miss Ida Valerga, who
I rendered the song "I Dreamt I Dwelt in
(Marble Halls" and Arditi's vocal "Valse
Brilliante" with earnest exi)ression, and was
encored. An " Elegie" composed by Prof.
L. Mieser, and jjlayed by him on tlie violin,
Mr. .Inlins Mieser on tlic zither and Miss
Maria Mieser on the Weber Piano, was the
instrumental gem ()f the evening; and the
.Sylphiden March with the same composer
aud performers, was well received. Faust
on violin and piano was also well rendered,
aud several other pieces, including a zither
solo were given. The large number of
entertainments given at the time prevented
a full house.

ANTHEMS OF THE CHURCH.

BY U. C. BUEN.iP AND JAMES FLINT.

This collection is not, like many of the
day, a compendium of familiar oratorio
choruses and music popular in other
forms, but consists of that which is really
fresh and new. For all those who appre-
ciate the stately and tlignified music of
the Englisli Church, there will here be
found the gems of those composers who
have written for it. For those who like
the more ornate and florid, there is a great
abundance of solos, duos, trios and quar-
tettes from modern Italian composers
hitherto unknown in this country. No
book has ever been issued presenting so
great a variety of music adapted to both
quartette and chorus choirs, for all pos-
sible occasions. In it will be found
gems for all the Christian Church, melo-
dic settings of popular hymns, responses,
Gloria Patrias, anthems for special sea-
sons, etc., making it the vade ini'riim of
every chorister desirous of using- a high
class of music. It contains of itself a
complete repertoire for the use of any
choir throughout the entire year.

Published by G. D. Russell & Company, 126 Tremont Street, Boston.

It is acknowledged by the the iMiisical Press, the
Profession, and all the Great Artists, that the

Prices as Reasonable and Terms as Easy as con-
sistent with Thorough Workmanship.

Mr. Weber be"lieves that the American public are ever
ready and willing to pay a fair price for a superior article.
He is, therefore, not afraid to add real improvements, even
if they enhance the cost of the instrument to the purchaser.
He has proceeded upon the principle that the very best pos-
sible instrument is really the cheapest, and the " result has
been an

Increase in the Sale of the Weber Pianos in the
past two years,

Unparalleled in the records of piano-forte manufacture in
this country. This is easily accounted for when the above
facts are taken into consideration, together with the fact that
the

WEBER PIANO

Has become the favorite instrument of all our great artists,
and is used in public bj' most of the great

GREAT CONCERT PLAYERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., AUG., 1876.

AN EVENING IN SPRING TIME.

There are clouds of a storm lying low in the west
Where a moment before was alight manifold,

As the glittering car of the sun was new-dressed
In a raiment embroidered with tremulous gold.

In the rift of a cloud shining luridly through
Where the quivering torch of the storm has been
flang.

In a setting of splendor and marvelous blue

Is a gleam of the star of which Pindar has sung.

There are nebulous shapes on the verge of the sky.
Uprisen from shadows which border the world.

And the spirits of evil and good hover nigh,
As the banners of darkness are dimly unfurled.

A. E. Sinks.

THE QUEEN OF HEARTS.

"Hearts are trumps!" cut the midnight
air, sharp and clear as the blaze of light that
shot athwart the pavement from a saloon
door, swinging for a moment on its hinges
to admit a customer. Softer, but no less
distinctly uttered, was the following sen-
tence :

" O, Harold come home !" which at the
same instant reached the ears of a party of
young men, gathered around a gaming ta-
ble within the building; the presence of
several empty bottles, indicating that the
flush on their faces was not produced by
e.xcitement alone. A sudden pallor chased
the crimson from the lips and brow of the
person who had spoken the opening sen-
tence. Springing up, he rushed from the
house and looking down the street, saw a
woman flitting through the gloom.

Hurrying excitedly after her, his swifter
stride soon measured the distance between
them, and, although her form was concealed
by a large cloak, his quick eye proved th<at
he had not mistaken the voice ; the lady
before him was none other than Cecelia,
the daughter of his employer, Judge Osborne.

While he is speeding over the space that
separated them we will find employment in
acquainting ourselves with his past history.

Left an orphan at an early age, Harold
Winstead was taken into the office and
home of Judge Osborne, an old friend of
his mother, who treated the lonely boy not
merely as a law student, but kindly as an
only son. One child blessed the home
where he had been thus welcomed, a beau-
tiful and gifted girl, motherless like hiinself,
but the idol of her father's heart. The close
associations of years naturally established
an affectionate intimacy between the two,

and as she grew to womanhood Cecelia
loved him with the pure affection of a fresh
young heart, unanalyzed and untrammeled
by cold conventionalities; but Harold, while
acknowledging her superior charms, and
proud of her regard for himself, had been —
about a year before our story opens — en-
slaved by the more striking beauty of a
certain Miss Lawrence, a reigning belle ;
who, although several years his senior, had
been amusing herself with the honest admi-
ration of the young law student.

While possessing the usual allowance of
self-love shared by handsome and talented
young men, he could by no means be called
vain ; but the open favor shown him by the
acknowledged beauty of her set, was suffi-
cient to turn older heads than his, and he
was completely intoxicated. The infatuated
youth would have rushed impetuously into
an avowal, but so skillfully did the lady
maneuver that months passed before the
longed-for opportunity arrived.

His amazement and distress can easily
be imagined, when to his eloquent plead-
ings he received only a silvery laugh and
the smiling remark,

"Why my dear /yK«^ friend, how could I
have been so stupid as not to observe your
attentions were serious."

One would have supposed that a person
of his mental calibre might have turned in
disdain from a woman who could thus trifle
with the holiest of feelings, and determin-
edly crushing out her image from his mind,
bury the recollection of his disappointment
in study ; but alas! the alternations of hope
and fear through which he had passed, had
created a craving for excitement, and mis-
taking the smartings of wounded pride for
the pain of a broken heart, he rushed madly
into all manner of excesses, spending whole
nights with reckless companions in places,
which a few months before, he would have
scorned to enter; in his selfish absorption
oblivious to the fact that his two friends,
Cecelia and her father, were watching and
mourning over his downward course.

On this particular evening he had entered
the saloon full of bitter and desperate
thoughts ; had drank deeply and played
wildly, when the voice, like that of his
guarding angel, arrested him. His feelings
in those few short moments before he over-
took her were a curious medley of indigna-

tion and shame. Indignation, that being
jilted by a false-hearted woman, could cause
him to so far forget his manhood; and
shame, (now that his eyes were opened),
that the woman for whose good opinion he
would sacrifice anything, had been a wit-
ness of his weakness. He was sure she
must despise him.

Coming up softly to her side he hesita-
tingly spoke her name. With a low, glad
cry she clasped his arm and burst into
tears. Tenderly supporting her, he walked
silently by her side until she had gained
her self-control. Her blue eyes were still
glistening with tears when she raised their
wet lashes and timidly asked :

" Have I offended you ?"

" No, a thousand times no !" he exclaimed.
" I can never tell you how much I thank
you. I only wonder how you, a delicate
young lady, could have the courage to come
on the streets at this hour. How did you
know where to find me?"

"When father returned from the office,
he informed me he had seen you go to
that place three nights in succession. I
begged him to follow you and use his influ-
ence to bring you home ; he refused, reason-
ing that you would resent his interference.
I could not rest ; the voice of your angel
mother seemed to be repeating the words
in my ears, 'Go save my boy.' Impelled
by the command, I summoned all my cour-
age and started out, arriving iust as a man
passed in. Instinctively I uttered the words
that called you out and then rushed away.
Father and I both grieve that you are un-
happy, and would gladly help you if we
could." Her tears began to flow again and
she paused. Deeply touched, Harold could
only clasp her hand, while great drops of
contrition and shame gathered in his own
eyes.

As he entered the house, he pressed the
hand he still held to his lips, murmuring,
" Cecelia, my guardian saint, Cecelia, you
have saved me ; henceforth I offer at your
shrine the homage of a grateful heart."
After, with a low spoken good night, they
parted. O, woman ! how much of the des-
tinies of man you control ; either by your
fascinating wiles luring him down to perdi-
tion, or, on the wings of purity and love,
bearing him even to Heaven's gates.

The glory of the coming day was lighting

up his chamber ere Harold closed his eyes,
but with the darkness had fled the wild fancy
which had enthralled him, and he again
began a life of earnest work ; cheered and
encouraged by his faithful friend who, by
her ready appreciation of his efforts, in-
spired him to nobler exertions. In the
light of the pure affection which dissipated
the darkness within his heart, the old pas-
sion shrank away, and was only recalled
with a shudder when he remembered how
near ruin it had driven him. The subject
of their night adventure was never again
introduced by either until years after, when
on the return of Harold from Europe,
whither he had been sent on business of
importance, as he looked into Cecelia's eyes
— she was now his promised wife — he once
more alluded to it, and while absently run-
ning his fingers through her brown curls,
he said:

"We shall neither of us ever forget the
expression I uttered at that time, which be-
trayed me to you, as you dared the darkness
for my sake ; although it seemed but a
mockery to me then, how true it was ; and,
should the game of life which we are so
soon to start upon be a changing one, bring-
ing more of disappointment than joy, I am
confident we shall both ever feel secure in
the happy consciousness that, with us,
hearts are always trumps."

MARRIAGE SUPERSTITIONS.

Since marriage became an institution
there have been certain signs and supersti-
tions that have clung to its celebration
through all ages and all countries. Even
to-day in the most civilized nations we have
not entirely rid our minds of these supersti-
tions, and I warrant there is never a bride
but indulges herself in looking for some
happy omen. Few people are dauntless
enough to be married on Friday, and we all
have the most unlimited confidence in that
old shoe thrown after the newly wedded
pair. Nearly every bride of to-day wears
about her when she is married, some trifling
thing borrowed from a lady friend, and all
know that " Blest is the bride on whom the
sun doth shine," and are equally certain
that,

" To change the name and not the letter.
Is a change for the worse, and net for the better."
So on, quite indefinitely, it is wonderful
how these ancient signs are handed down
from generation to generation, and how im-
potent reason is to do away with their hold
upon the human mind. Say what you will,
we are naturally given to superstitious fears,
and there are the fewest people who are not
more or less affected by them. But let us
recall a few of the older beliefs concerning
marriage superstitions.

In the earliest weddings we read of among
the Jews we find that the fourth day of the
week was considered the unlucky day for

virgins to wed, and the fifth for widows.
The Romans also believed that certain days
were unfavorable for the performance of
marriage rites, and these were the Calends,
Nones and Ides of every rponth, the whole
months of February and May, and many of
their festivals. June was considered the
most propitious month of the year for mat-
rimony, especially if the day chosen were
that of the full moon or the conjunction of
the sun and moon.

The month of May was especially to be
avoided, as it was under the influence of
spirits adverse to happy households, and for
centuries this superstition seemed to prevail
in Italy against May marriages, and even to
this day prevails in some parts of England
and our own country. In China marriages
are positively prohibited at certain times
and seasons, on account of their being un-
lucky.

There was at one time a superstition cur-
rent in England against marrying on Inno-
cents' Day, the 28th of December, a day of
ill omen, because it was one which com-
memorated Herod's massacre of the child-
ren. And it is still thought unlucky to marry
in Lent.

" Marry in Lent and you'll live to repent."
An old line also says,
"May, never was ye month of love,"

and another,

" Who marries between ye sickle and ye scythe,
will never strive."

The old rhyme that we have all heard
tells us to marry on

" Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all ;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck at all."

At one time it was thought that all those
who married on Tuesdays and Thursdays
would be happy. Among the Romans no
marriage was celebrated without an augury
being first consulted.

In the middle ages it was considered an ill
omen if the bridal party in going to the
church met a monk, priest, hare, dog, cat,
lizard or serpent ; while all would go well if
a wolf, spider or toad were encountered.

It is lucky if the initials of a wedded cou-
ple spell a word.

In the south of England it is said to be
unlucky for a bride to look in the glass after
she is completely dressed before she goes to
church, so a glove or some other article is
put on after the last look has been taken at
the mirror. Gray horses at a wedding are
lucky. It is supposed to be unlucky if a
wife does not weep on her wedding day. In
Scotland it is considered an unhappy omen
if a couple are disappointed in getting mar-
ried on the day first fixed for the purpose.

In the Isle of Man it is believed that it in-
sures good luck to carry salt in the pocket
when going to-be married. At Hull it is con-

sidered unlucky to go in at one door and go
out at another when a person gets married.

PRETTY SPEECHES.

To be able readily, and without premedi-
tation, to say the right thing is an enviable
gift, and may be made a wonderful instru-
ment of conciliation and pacification. La-
dies are the fair and proper recipients of
pretty speeches. The due de Nievernois
made an ingenious one to Madame du
Barri, who was endeavoring to persuade
him to withdraw his opposition to some
measure she had set her heart on. " It is
of no use. Monsieur le due," she said, " you
are ,only injuring your influence, for the
king has made up his mind, and I myself
heard him say that he will never change."
"Ah, madame, he was looking at you," re-
plied the duke. Could any but a French-
man have ever conveyed determined re-
sistance in so polite a form ? There was an
ingenious amount of devotion implied in
the remark of a love-sick millionaire, when
the object of his affections became ecstatic
over the beauty of the evening star. " Oh,
do not praise it like that!" he cried, " I can
not get it for you." It is no wonder that
Tom Moore was such a general favorite, if
he often said such charming little things as
he wrote. I think the very prettiest, quaint-
est quip ever penned is in one of his love-
songs:

" The lesson of sweet and enrapturing lore
I have never forgot, I'll allow ;
I have had it ^j- ro/e very often before.
But never ify heart until now."

Irishmen generally do manage to say pret-
tier things than others can. They have a
certain confidence or assurance which en-
ables them to blurt out whatever comes up-
permost in their minds; t^^gt is why they
make bulls. A man who is always shoot-
ing must miss sometimes.

Mrs. Miller, widow of Hugh Miller, the
celebrated geologist, journalist, and poet,
died recently in Scotland at the age of 64.
She was no common woman. She and
Hugh Miller became friends, then lovers,
and after a good many years, husband
and wife. Hugh Miller owed much to her
sympathy and encouragement in scientific
studies. An ardent advocate of Free Church
principles, she published, at the time of the
Disruption in the Scotch Establishment, a
novel styled " Passages in the Life of an
English Heiress," in which the claims of the
anti-patronage party were vigorously put
forward. Mrs. Miller's pen also was often
to be discovered in tlie Witness newspaper
which did so much to enlist the people of
Scotland in the support of the Evangelical
majority in the Church. She gave much
assistance to Mr. Peter Bayne in the prepa-
ration of Hugh Miller's biography.

THE BELLS OF LIMERICK.

The old bells that hung in the tower of
the Limerick Cathedral were made by a
young Italian after many years of patient
toil. He was proud of his work, and when
they were purchased by the prior of a neigh-
boring convent, near the Lake of Como, the
artist invested the profits of the sale in a
pretty villa on the margin of the lake, where
he could hear their "Angelus " music wafted
from the convent cliff across the waters at
morning, noon and night. Here he in-
tended to pass his life ; but this happiness
was denied him. In one of those feudal
broils which, whether civil or foreign, are
the undying worm in a fallen land, he suf-
fered the loss of his all ; and, when the
storm passed, he found himself without
home, family, friends and fortune. The
convent had been razed to the ground, and
c hcfs-d' leuvre of his handiwork, the tuneful
chime whose music had charmed his listen-
ing ear for so many happy days of his past
life, had been carried away to a foreign
land. He became a wanderer. His hair
grew white and his heart withered before he
again found a resting place. In all these
years of bitter desolation the memory of the
music of his bells never left him ; he heard
in the forest and in the crowded city, on the
sea and by the banks of the quiet stream in
the basin of the hills ; he heard it by day ;
and when night came and troubled sleep, it
whispered to him soothingly of peace and
happiness. One day he met a marine fiom
over the sea, who told him a story of a
wondrous chime. of bells he had heard in
Ireland. An intuition told the artist that
they were his bells. He journeyed and
voyaged thither, sick and weary, and sailed
up the Shannon. The ship came to anchor
in the port, near Limerick, and he took
passage in a small boat for the purpose of
reaching the city. Before him the tall
steeple of St. Mary's lifted its turreted head
above the mist and smoke of the old town.
He leaned back wearily, yet with a happy
light beaming from his eyes. The angels
were whispering to him that his balls were
there. He prayed — "Oh, let them sound
me a loving welcome. Just one note of
greeting, O, bells ! and my pilgrimage is
done I"

It was a beautiful evening. The air was
like that of his own Italy in the sweetest
time of the year, the death of the spring.
The bosom of the river was like a broad
mirror, reflecting the patines of bright gold
that decked the blue sky, the towers and
the streets of the old town in its clear depths.
The lights of the city danced upon the
wavelets that rippled from the boat as she
glided along. Suddenly the stillness was
broken. From St. Mary's tower there came
a shower of silver sound, filling the air with
music. The boatmen rested on their oars

to listen. The old Italian crossed his arms
and fixed his streaming eyes upon the
tower. The sound of his bells bore to his
heart all the sweet memories of his buried
past — home, friends, kindred, all. At last
he was happy — too happy to speak, too
happy to breathe. When the rowers sought
to arouse him his face was upturned to the
tower, but his eyes were closed. The poor
stranger had breathed his last. His own
chefs-d' ceuvre had rung his "pass bell." —
Emily V. Battey.

Mr. Samuel Lover, in his " Tales of Ire-
land," gives this lively character sketch, the
original of which may be found to-day on
the box of almost any " ould country " mail-
coach : "After many difficulties, you reach
your journey's end, and then the post-boy,
as you have surmised, expects a good gra-
tuity. You give him what you consider to be
a handsome reward of his services, but still
he is not contented. ' Sure,' he says, ' your
honor wouldn't mind another shillin' ? ' 'No
sir,' you reply, ' I think I've paid you liber-
ally.' 'Butyou willconsider theway I drove
you, sir?' 'Not a pleasant one, by any
means.' 'And the power of stories I told
you ! ■ ' Some of which I have heard before.'
'Well, then, give me another shillin', sir,
and I'll tell you somethin' which I will un-
dertake to say you never heard before.'
' Very good, then, there's a shilling. Now,
what's the story I have never heard before ? '
'Well, then, of coorse your honor remem-
bers the three miles we came along, with the
cliff upon one side of us ? ' ' Remember it ?
I shall never forget it!' 'Well, then, you
don't know that I drove you them three
miles without a lynch-pin!'" Few stories
so short could be so thrilling. We presume
it made Mr. Lover's blood tingle — for sev-
eral reasons.

Reviewing Mr. James's " Roderick Hud-
son," the Academy remarks : " It is strange
that American novels should not be better
than they are. The literature for children
is excellent. The stories written with 'a high
moral purpose' are often clever, and seldom
miss their mark. Why is it that Hawthorn
still occupies the highest place among Amer-
ican novelists, and that we are acquainted
with no one of them that comes near him ?
It is not that originality is lacking, for the
the short stories that reach us in American
magazines or in cheap reprints have enough
original matter in them to make more than
one of the three volumed novels which flood
our own country, and are of a far higher
order of merit ; there is a very large amount
of nervous force in the style ; there is a sup-
erabundant command of language; there is
'a desire to understand and record what is
true ; ' and yet they fall short of being
great."

The Police Magistrate at Hamilton, Can-
ada, has delivered a judgment that puts him
at least on a par with Solomon in all his
legal glory. Two men disputed the owner-
ship of a valuable carrier-pigeon, and each
produced the most complete evidence to es-
tablish his claim and disprove that of his
opponent. A happy thought struck the
magistrate. " If it is your bird," he said to
one claimant, "will it know the way home?"
The suitor replied that it would. A similar
question to the other party evoked the same
reply. ".Then," said the'Court to the Ser-
geantwho had the bird incu.stody, "let it go
and it will find its way home." And the
bird and the case were simultaneously
thrown out of court.

"Another for Hector." — In the battle
of Inverkeithing, between the Royalists and
Oliver Cromwell, five hundred of the fol-
lowers of the Laird of Maclean were left
dead on the field. In the heat of the con-
flict, seven brothers of the clan sacrificed
their lives in defence of their leader. Sir
Hector Maclean. Being hard pressed by the
enemy, he was supported and covered from
their attacks by these intrepid men ; and as
one brother fell, another came up in suc-
cession to cover him crying, "Another for
Hector!" This phrase has continued ever
since as a proverb or watch-word when a
man encounters any sudden danger that re-
quires instant succor. — Stewart.

One day when the Rev. Cornelius Winter
was delivering a sermon to a crowded as-
sembly, his gravity was sadly disturbed.

On casting his eye to a window next the
road, he saw a countryman staring in at the
congregation, with a live pig on his shoulder
which also presented its vacant countenance
and appeared as much interested as its
master. " Nothing in my whole life," said
the amiable divine, " ever so unhinged my
ideas or spoiled my discourse as this serious,
but ludicrous and unconscious man and his
pig-"

A l.^nded gentleman some time since
drained an unprofitable wet field, and was
one day watching the result, when a farmer
came up to him an said : " Sir, you have a
beautiful crop." • Yes, I have," was the
rejoinder. "How did you get it ? " was asked.
" Brains," was the reply. " What, manure
the field with brains?" was furtherinquired.
" Oh, yes." The farmer opened his eyes,
and said, " Why, yer honor, where did ye
get 'em?"

" It is a vulgar error," says an Irish cor-
respondent, " to suppose that there are no
Irish characters in Shakspeare, — does not
Hamlet exclaim, ' Now might I do it, Pat,
now he is praying?' to say nothing of
O'Thello, Cory O'Lanus.and theladyO'Phe-
lia?"

fur the establishment in that city of a seminary or col-
lege ill which the Hebrew language and Jewish history
and philosophy may be taught, and rabbis may be edu-
cated for American synagogues and teachers for Jew-
ish schools. Leading Hebrews throughout the Uni-
ted States recognize the need of such an institution
for the thorough education and training of Jewish
theologians. The project has the approval of a large
number of congregations and rabbis of different cities,
and is likely to take practical shape.

—We know a painter whose pallette has been de-
stroyed, and yet who retains his taste perfectly. —
Punc/i.

—Professor (to Freshman)— "What is a circle?"
Freshman (after much reflection)- "A round, straight
line, with a hole in the middle."

—Swinburne the poet, they say, tears his hair while
he is composing his verses. Very odd. One day he
tore a friend's hair in mistake.

—Fanny Kemble asserts that Mrs. Scott Siddons
inherits her striking beauty as the descendant of a
Hindoo princess. Few who have seen and admired
the charming little lady are aware of this fact.

—Bridget: "Sure, Maria and me was discushin'
over what was thim things on the pitcher over the
mantel." Mistress : "Why, Bridget, those are Raph-
ael's angels." Bridget: " Och, thin the both of us
wuz wrong. I said they wuz twins, and Maria said
they wuz bats."

—Mrs. Avery, wife of the convicted treasury clerk,
is a lady of unusual talent. Charles Sumner was her
particular friend. She made a copy of a "Titan "in
one day. and was offered $50 for it. Now the poor
woman offers her pictures and her house for sale to get
money on which to live.

—Charlotte Cushraan's hideousness in the character
of "Meg Merrilles" was produced by very careful
painting. She was a large, rather plump woman, yet
as the Scotch hag her face and arms were made to
seem wrinkled and thin. A writer in Belgravia says
that the penciling was done by a female attendant,
who had been thoroughly instructed by Miss Cush-
man, and occupied half an hour previous to each per-
formance.

—The enthusiastic choir master who adopted "Hold
the Fort " at a processional has been dismissed by the
rector. He considered it personal when the chorister
burst forth:

" See the mighty host advance,
Satan leading on."
— A French countess seized a philosopher at the sup-
per table, and, sinking her voice to a whisper, said:
" While they are cutting up the fowls we have got five
minutes to spare; do tell me the history of the world,
lor I want to know it so much."

— Some time since a lady happened to see in the
streets of London a monkey begging pence from the
public in the prettiest manner for the benefit of his
master, an organ grinder. She took a fancy to it,
bought it, dressed it in the gaudiest of raiments, and
at a fashionable reception her pet was the wonder of
the room. In the course of the evening a young lady
sat down at the piano, and sang with exquisite taste a
little drawing-room song. As soon as she had finished,
the monkey, who had not forgotten his former duties,
seizing a hat, to the amusement of everybody, went
the rounds and collected a large sum. His task ended
he jumped upon the knee of the singer, amid shouts
of Liughter, and deposited the contents of his hat in
the lady's lap. The collection was devoted to a char-
itable fund.

—Description Gone Mad.— This is what a Yorkshire
paper has to say of Salvini's cry when Othello jumps
to the conclusion that Desdemona is guilty : "A vocal
atavism has taken place, the barriers of training and
culture are burst open, and the fiery ferocity of far-
forgotten ancestry rushes maddeningly to his lips.
Most unutterably terrible, the cry of a ' hurt beast in
its anguish," of an .inimal caught in the toils from
which there is no escaping, caught in a lonely forest,
in the dead middle of a lonely night, is the shriek-
groan which comes from Othello's lips when he, in
the last scene, learns the truth. It stabs the startled
silence, the momentary pause after Emelia's confes-
sion, like the cry of a trapped fox heard wailing across
a Wintry Yorkshire wold, the only one English sound

—Abbe Liszt contemplates a visit to England.
—Mile. Titiens' reception in London was an ovation.
—Karl Sontag, the famous Henrietta's brother, has
published a volume of " Stage Recollections."

—Shakespeare is to be translated into the Polish
tongue, and Richard's ravings will go from Pole to
Pole.

—Mile. Albani charms as " Elisabeth," in " Tann-
hauser " quite as greatly as she did as "Elsa" in
Lohengrin.

—It is said that Madame Janauschek is very gr«at
as Xady Dedlock in Chtsnc}/ Weld, another version
of Bleak House.

— Cristofori, whom Italians claim invented the pi-
anoforte, was honored by a grand celebration in Flor-
ence, on May 9th.

—It is reported that Walter Shirlaw is at work in
Munich upon a very large picture representing sheep-
shearing in Germany.

—Arthur Neville, the English artist, has made a
statuette of Miss Genevieve Ward, in the sleep-walk-
ing scene of Lady Macbeth.

—The poems of Lord Lytton, with the exception of
his most recent work, " King Poppy," are to be pub-
lished in a new edition shortly.

—Madame Nilsson appeared recently in Faust in
London and it is said her voice retains all its fine
qualities, and she acts the simple, artless Margherite
to perfection.

—Charles Wyndham, the popular eccentric and light
comedy actor of the Charles Matthe
playing an engagement at the Criteric
don, proposes to return to this country, with a com-
pany, in the spring of next year.

—A manuscript copy of the Koran, copied by the
Caliph Osman, the third after the prophet Mohammed,
is in the imperial library at St. Petersburg. It formed
a part of the library of Samarcand, is 1,200 years old
and bears traces of the blood that spurted on its pages
when Osman was stabbed while reading it.

—Not long ago a very celebrated English artist was
approached by a merchant with the offer of 10,000 guin-
eas for a picture, the subject of which the merchant
was to select. It turned out that the merchant had
no interest in art, and the picture was to advertise his
business, by representing crowds of customers— each
of whose faces should be a distinct study, as in Frilh's
"Derby Day "—going in and out of said merchant's
establishment. The offer was declined.

—A wealthy shoemaker of Bremen has had executed
life sized statues of the three most celebrated shoe-
makers in German history. The first of these was
the holy St. Crispin, the patron of the shoemaker's
craft; the second was Hans von Sagan, who, in 1370,
turned the tide of the great battle of the German Or-
ders against the heathen Lithuanians by bearing the

chool,
1 Theater, Lon-

vhich iti

able

idstof the enemy; and
the third was Hans Sachs, the shoemaker bard,

—The Musical Standard thus discourses of Rubin-
stein : We admit that this great artist is a demon, but
only in the classical Greek sense of the word. He has
not, like Prometheus, stolen the divine fire from
heaven, but that fire has been unsparingly infused
into him, and what is more, the light has been kept
burning. For the present we prefer to speak in the
abstract. A performance of a long list of numbers
(in that book) revealed the antithetical, yet in no wise
antagonistic, qualities of grace and elegance, might
and majesty, sovereignty and self-subiection. Thun-
der and lightning, sonorous and vivid, were relieved
by sunshine and softest zephyrs, such as would deal,
as in duty bound, daintily with the peach-blossom
cheek of a maiden fair on a Mayday afternoon. M.
Rubinstein's own compositions are exquisite minia-
tures, and the Valse Caprice, beautiful and brilliant,
will haunt many an ear. Three recalls after the great
Sonata and the " Studies " of Chopin attested the ad-
mir.ition of the audience, and at the end of the rccit.il
Hcrr Rubinstein was glad to hide his non-diminished
head, if only for the sake of a little quiet.

ANtJA DE BELOCCA.

This lady, who won the esteem of our oiti-
zens, was the recipient of a complimentary
farewell benefit on the 18th ult., at the Cali-
fornia Theatre. The programme was one of
rare Interest, comprising one act each of
Semiramule, and Romeo and Juliet^ and the
rondo finale from Ln Cencrenfola. The
fair beneficiary seemed to be inspired by the
occasion, for she certainly surpassed her
pre\"ious efforts both in singing and acting,
and received loud applause from the crowded
house on each occasion. The floral farewell
gifts were magnificent, and were a deserved
tribute to this excellent artiste, whom we
hope will again visit our city.

M'lle. Adclina .Speranza toolc part in the
two oi^eras first-named, and gave a scene
from La Traviata with good success, and
was applauded. The California Theatre
Company gave two amusing pieces, "Sarah's
Young Man" and "The Fool of the Family;"
and the entertainment was a success in
every respect.

NAPA LADIES' SEMINARY.

Tlie musical department of this excellent
institution has been organized for the school
year commencing on the first instant, as
follows: Miss Gertrnde L. Hinman, Prin-
cipal of Afusical Department, and teacher of
A'ocalization ; Miss Mary S. Hubbell, teacher
of Piano and Organ, and Miss Annie Wilson,
Assistant. Jliss Hinman, who lias met witli
marked success during the past year, will
honeefortli devote her whole time to voice
culture. Mi.ss Hubbcll spent two years at
the Conservatory in Leipsic, Germany, and
has since been the leading teacher of piano
in the Ingham University, Le Rny, X. Y.,
and she comes to Napa highly recommended.
We hope this institution may continue to
have an extensive patronage.

our citizens during tne recent exhibition at
Snow A May's Art Gallery on Kearny Street,
and the proceeds will be of great aid to the
three orphan asylums on whose behalf it is
generously exhibited. The commission was
given to Prof. Tojetti by Mr. Tiburcio Parrott,
a well-known lilieral patron of art, and the
magnificent picture will add new lustre to
the reputation of tliis distinguished artist.
The faithful attention to details called for by
Tennyson's poem " Lancelot and Elaine" is
noticeable, and in the baclsground, the
scenery, including the castle on the crest of
a rock overhanging the river, is singularly
well executed. The face of the dumb old
servitor is worthy of prolonged study, and
the mingled sorrow and sympathy with
which he meelianically plies the oar, looking
meanwhile at the lifeless figure of Elaine, are
strikingly expressed.

Around the prow of the boat is twined a
garland of flowers ; festoons of black drapery
dip in the water; and the folds of a dark
canopy fall around the head of Elaine, while
sprays of flowers enfold a cross. The fea-
tures of Elaine are peaceful as in sleep, and
there is not the slightest trace of pain or sad-
ness to cloud the expression of happy repose.
Her luminous golden hair falls gracefully
backward, her arras are folded across h^r
breast, and in her hands are the letter and
the lily. The bier is covered with a cloth
of gold, and all the drapery is rich and
glowing in tint. The entire work is remark-
able for its clearness and warmth of coloring,
and the impression produced is one of min-
gled admiration and sadness, which is
heightened by a careful study of the details.
The ideal of the poet could not have been

re i>erfectly delineated by the artist, who
seems to liave been inspired with the .sen-
timent of the poet :

" Then rose the dumb old servitor, and the dead
Steer'd by the dumb went upward with the flood —
In her right hand the lily, in her left
The letter — all her bright hair streaming down —
And all the coverlid was cloth of gold
Drawn to her wsist. and she herself in white
All but her face, and that clear-featured face
Was lovely, for she did not seem as dead
But fast asleep, and lay as tho' she smiled."

A feeling of satisfaction pervades our cit-
izens, who are proud of their resident artist.
A constant com|)arisoii is made of this paint-
ing with Rosenthal's Elaine, exhibited at the
same place in April of last year; and the
feeling seems to be largely in favorof Tojetti's
master])iece.

MRS. ABBIE CHENEY.

Our friends in Sacramento have recently
been favored by the appearance of the lady
whose name heads this article, who has loca-
ted there as a teacher of piano. Mrs. Cheney
spent five years at the Royal Conservatory
in Stuttgart, under the instruction of the
celebrated Prof. Lebert, and is well qualified
to give the most advanced instruction. We
trust she may meet with ample success.

NAPA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.

We are pleased to learn that while this
excellent institution is prospering in every
respect, tlie Musical Department is conspic-
uous for progress. Prof. W.A.Packard is
the accomplished director and first instructor
upon the piano, organ, guitar and violin.
He received a thorough musical education
in the Boston Conservatoiy of Music, and
has had many years of experience in teaching
in the Eastern States, and also in conducting
concerts ; and he is deservedly popular.
The department of voice culture was last
year under the charge of Miss Marie Withrow
of this city, a superior singer and pianist and
a most ett'ective teacher, under whose ad-
ministration the pupils made great advance-
nient;and her resignation was a serious loss to
the Institute. However, her place has been
supplied by Jliss Rosa M. Stacey, a graduate
of the Genesee Academy of Music in New
Y'ork, who received musical instruction for
one year in London, and has been a success-
ful musician and teacher m the East. Miss
Stacey is now the vocal teacher and assistant
on piano and organ, and her pupils are
making fine progress. There are some
fifty scholars in the Institute who are giving
prominent attention to music, and a compre-
hensive graduating course has been arranged
requiring three years of thorough study.

At the late commencement, the musical
exercises were of high order, and elicited
enthusiastic praise from the audience.

JIECHANICS' FAIR OPENIXG.

The opening exercises of the Mechanics
Fair were lield at Wade's Opera House on
the afternoon of the 8tli inst. The orcliestra
was directed l)y I'rof. R. Herold and rendered
several operatic overtures in good style. On
the immense stage were sealed five hundred
young ladies from the Girls' High School,
under the charge of their Principal, Prof.
John .Snett. These ladies, under the direc-
tion of their teacher of music. Prof. Wash-
ington Elliot, rendered with superb elfect, in
chorus, the songs " Distant Chimes," "Sum-
mer's Come," "Star-Spangled Banner" and

\merica." The Aimee Opera Company,
sangas a solo and chorus, " The Marseillaise' '
witli spirit. Mr. A. S. Hallidie, President of
the Mechanics Institute, gave the opening
address; Mr. Henry Edwards delivered an
address on " Iron and its relations to Civili-
zation" and Mr. Frank Sonle read a poem.
These literary exercises were superior in
character, and were very interesting to tlie
audience. The Mechanics Pavilion held a
large audience in the evening.

Pianos. — By a reference to our adver-
tising colunins, it will be seen that we
are now selling good pianos for ^S^,"),
with a moderate cash payment, and the
small installment of 810 per month.
These terms are unusually favorable and
we trust will meet the general demand.

Sherman 8r Hyde's Musical Review.

A PUBLIC CHARACTER.

IiitheJWw York JI'oj/c/, a series of sketches
of notable New Yorkers has lately appeared-
The list has included A. T. Stewart, Fletcher
Harper, William A. Beach. The great piano
maker, Albert Weber, was recently de-
scribed ; and from the two colurrms of
editorial, we make the following selections,
which will doubtless interest our readers:

"Mb, Weber particularly interests his
fellow-workers in the humming hive of the
metropolis, because, while yet in the morning
of life, he has brought the lousiness which he
established on the slender capital of faith in
himself, and his hope and work in the public,
up to a point of prosperity never before
equalled in the same length of time by any
other house engaged in the same manufac-
ture.

" Moreover, Mr. Weber has actually
accomplished his wonderful task single-
handed, never having had a partner. There
is no shadowy "Co." secreted about his
establishment. Tlie great factory on Seventh
Avenue, and the elegant warerooms on Fifth
Avenue, are solely the products of his own
untiring industry and judgment. Fifteen
years after he made his first piano-forte, Mr.
Weber is reported to have manufactured and
sold at the rate of l,.5O0 instruments annually,
a rapidity of development in this costly
branch of skill indicative of the iron energy
of the man.

" To have created a demand and a market
for such an array of pianos in the face of
wealthy competition, was in itself a trium-
phant assertion of keen business tact, while
tlie details of their manufacture, it might be
supposed, would effectually occupy the
attention of one head to the e.xclusion of all
other cares. A suggestive example of what
can be achieved by concentration of eti'ort is
afforded by Mr. Weber's splendid start in
business — for, apparently, he has only just
begun to develop his plans. The manufac-
turing space which hitiierto has sufficed him,
is now discovered to be inadequate to meeting
the demands telegraphed upon him daily
from every State known to the national
banner. Accordingly, an addition equal to
the original building has just been made to
his factory, which, in consequence, becomes
a rival in superficial area to tlie largest in the
world."

The interesting sketch concludes in this
way :

" Among artists Mr. Weber is valued as
a friend whose counsel is always safe and
whose society is refreshing.

"One of these days — far away yet, we
hope — when the full story of this busy life
may be told, it will be a pleasure to recount
how often his unseen iufiuence has tided
over difficulties and sent on their way re-
joicing the weary workers in the vineyard of
musical art.

" If a man may be Imown by the company
he is found in, then Mr. Weber, as well as

his friends, should take high rank, musically
and socially, for his album blossoms with
tributes of kind remembrance of himself,
coupled with generous expressions of regard
for h instruments, from all tlie bright
names, n'hose singing or playing have
charmed New Y'ork for a decade. Parepa-
Rosa, Kellogg, Nilsson, Albani, Lucca, Cary,
and a superfluous list of gentlemanly stars,
might be enumerated as among those whose
testimony is alike appreciative of this remark-
able man and his excellent work."

YANKEE DOODLE. —CENTENNIAL VERSION.

By Sam. Booth.

A hundred years have come and gone

Since Yankee Doodle dandy,
Went down to Philadelphia

Looking brave as Naper tandy;
And there he wrote the famous note

Nuw called the "Declaration,"
Wherein, said he. " this land shall be

An Independent nation."

The note was worded plain and strong

That no one might mistake it,
Explaining what was Rijiht and Wrong

As clear as words could make it.
And when the paper had been signed

The girls for joy were singing.
The boys sent out a joyful shout

And all the belle were ringing.

Now Johnny Bull flew in a rage

At such a bold defection.
" I'll send," said he, ■' across the sea

And whip them in subjection ;
I'll make these Rebel Yankees bow.

In sorrow and confusion ;
And curse the day thev tried to play

The game of Revo'lution.

And so he sent an Armament

Acri'ss the briny water,
And through the land with sword and brand

Went Ruin, Fire, and Slaughter;
But Yankee Doodle kept it up

With many a brave defender,
Who scorned to fly, but swore they'd die

Before they would surrender.

With bleeding feet they trod the street

And left a track of glory ;
May we be shot and die forgot

If we forget the story:
Soft be the b^d where lies each head.

Their rest be calm and gentle.
Who fought and won with Washington

The glorious Continental.

At Bunker Hill, and Lexington,

And Fort Tlconderoga ;
At Bennington, and Brandywine,

Yorktown and Saratoga ;
Brave Yankee met the Britishers

To try which was the stronger ;
Till Johnny Bull cried " hold, enough

I'll light with you no longer."

And so the century has passed

Since we became a nation.
And Johnny Bull consented to

.\ nnal separation.
Our states embrace the mighty space

From ocean unto ocean ;
And forty million freemen hail

The flag of our devotion.

And so we're bound this whole year round

To make a general mirth-day ;
And every state will celebrate

Brave Yankee Doodle's birthday.
To every land he gives a hand.

With greeting warm and genial
And bids them all both prince and thrall.

To come to his Centennial.

Henry V.

The good ship Australia has borne from
our coast the chivalrous, physically-perfect
"Christian King:" the beau-ideal of the
heart feminine, as portrayed by Mr. Geo.
Rignold at Wade's Opera House. Portrayed
too, in such a realistic manner, with the
artist's skill so cleverly obscured, as to make
it forever a matter of serious debate in the
minds of the impressionable of the fair sex,
whether it was the King's or Rignold's nature
they had most insight of, and which of the
two they have elevated into that niche of the
woman's heart, sacred to hero-worship ; for
now, not Amidas of Gaul, nor Coeur de Lion
himself, can vie with this " mirror of knight-
hood"— the hero of Harfleurand Agincourt.

Mr. Rignold came to us, comparatively
unheralded and unknown ; he left us, the
most popular of favorites; the lion of the
hour ; the admiration of all : for, to their
credit be it said, the gentlemen were as loud
in his praises as were the ladies, though cer-
tain members of the "scribblingfry" endeav-
ored to convince themselves and the public
that the fair sex alone were susceptible to the
charms of the young monarch's manner and
presence.

That he had powerful oddsto conlendwith
— pitted as he was against such an old favor-
ite, as Jlr. Lawrence Barrett, and such a
rival theatre and troupe as the California, —
we all know ; and that he came out victorious,
winning from our reluctant hands the laurels
we would fain have accorded to our old
favorite, is no great matter for surprise, con-
sidering that oldCalifornians, though conspic-
uously loyal to old claimants upon their
affections, are also notedly critical and just.

Our unrivalled CasKi'its suffered by contrast
as Henry J'., not in appearance alone, but in
conception of the character; suggesting the
appropriateness of Ancient Pistol's "lovelj'
bully," rather than the "Christian king"
who did " not seek" yet would " not shun a
battle."

There was too miicli of Barrett's own fiery
impetuosity visible ; too much eagerness for
the fray ; too little of that weight of conscien-
tious responsibiliti/, whicli so visibly affected
Rignold's King an<I held his audience in
such sympathy that his every sigh was un-
consciously re-echoed through the house.

The scene with (he conspirators, was
exquisitely rendered by Rignold; his
grief at the friends treachery, who might
"TSave coined him into gold;" his sad, yet
conipassiouate looks and deep drawn sighs,
(without one spark of anger made evident)
was so indicative of the great and fine
nature, that we felt as keenly for the
stab dealt to the grand soul, as we could
have done, had we received it physically.

And so all through the play he is so thor-
oughly consistent in the unfolding of the
brave, yet tender nature of the King; so
perfect in gesture, action and voice, that not
until the last act, (when, his battles fought
and won, and he appears at the French court)
do we realize the greatness of his art. Then
it is we see that weight which had borne so
heavily xtpon the spirits of the warrior king,
drop from him like a mantle, and he emerges
from it, free, light and debonnairc as though
he had never had to " bear all of hard con-
dition."

Mr. Rignold gave us evidence of his ver-
satilitj' as Romeo, Lord Clancarti/, and Claude
Melnottc; yet many, too chary of approval
always, complained that, though well-con-
eeived and acted, he did not attain in those
characters that perfection reached in his
interpretation of the kingly role.

It should be borne in mind that though
Edwin Booth is the acknowledged Hamlet;
Barrett, the Cassius; McCuUougu, the Riehc-
licu; and Barry Sullivan the Richard III,
yet these artists may, and do, find equals and
even superiors in other roles.

And so with Rignold's King; he may find
rivals in other characters, but to that he gives
a dignity and grace, added to a soulful
intellectuality, which he can defy the world
to equal, much less eclipse. He is the
acknowledged Henri/ I'., and as such has

OUR OREGON CORRESPONDENCE.

POBTLAXD. OREOOS. JuLY '20. lS7(i.

Dear Review — The Portland Public
Schools closed a most successful year on the
23d inst. Time was, when it was deemed
uttei'Iy impossible to acquire a finished educa-
tion outside of one of the celebrated univer-
sities of Europe ; but, thanks to the benign
influence of our free institutions, that day
has passed. Though American genius has
almost annihilated the distance which sep-
arates us from the " mother country," yet
few there are who take advantage of it to
seek an education abroad. And while we of
the far West do not la.y claim to an advance-
ment equal to that of some of the Atlantic
States, nor to as imposing structures for ed-
ucational purposes, yet we are not ashamed
of the progress we have made. Though
comparatively small and unpretending in
size, yet have we ever.v reason to be proud
of the Public Schools of our cit.v. Tlie ad-
vancement whicli they have made in the past
decade is remarkable, and the entertainment
at the Central School on the Ulst inst., given
by the graduating class and members of the
grammar departments, for the benefit of the
Public School Library, was really excellent.
The essays and declamations evinced careful
study. The opening chorus " Red, White,
and Blue," was well rendered by a class from
the Harrison St. school. " A hundred years

hence," a duet by Lena Morgan and Lillie
Bray, two little misses about ten years of age,
was smig with good accent and in perfect
time. The instrumental duet " Marche des
Tambours" by Misses Dwyer and Shelby,
teachers in the schools, was admirably exe-
cuted. Diplomas were presented to the grad-
uating class of three young ladies and eight
younggentlemen, by Rev. Geo. H. Atkinson,
D. D., with afew concise but very appropriate
remarks. Yours truly

PoKTLiSO, Oregon. July 24. ISTli.
Dear Review — Acting upon the kind invi-
tation of the supervisors of the " Academy of
the Sacred Heart," at Salem, Oregon, we
went up to that place to attend their annual
examination and commencement exercises.
The examination of the graduating class,
consisting of Misses Mary A. Brainard, Alice
Iloult, Josephine Fuller, Emma Cosper, and
Mary A. Smith, occurred on Tuesday, ,)une
27th, The young ladies showed that they
were perfectly familiar, not only with the
elementary and higher branches of education
but also with polite literature, physics, and
mathematics. On Wednesday afternoon the
large hall at the Convent wasdensely crowded
with an interested audience. The hall was
beautifully decorated. The programme had
been carefullj' prepared, the most prominent
features being music and the essays of the
graduating class. The essays showed orig-
inal thought and varied culture. The in-
strumental selections were finely executed,
and the vocal trios, " Mother, I have heard
sweet music," "The Old Musician and his
Harp,".and " Sweet Visions of Childhood,"
with Guitar accompaniments, were heartily
encored. After the j'oung ladies had been
presented with their diplomas and gold
medals, the Valedictory, entitled " Past,
Present, and Future," was delivered by
Misses Brainard, Fuller, and Iloult, in a
manner which showed that their elocutionary
powers had been highly cultivated. They
spoke in glowing terms of their past school-
days, of the bright present, and of the glori-
ous future, and the audience were affected to
tears. The Sisters may well be congratulated
upon the success of this graduating class and
their devoted teachers. Yours truly

WILLAMETTK.

MR, STEPHEN MASSETT.

We welcome back again to San I'rancisco,
this world-renowned traveler, vocalist aiul
composer; though we are informed ho
expects towards the end of the year leaving
for England, as he has made some business
arrangements, that will compel him to return.
We notice that " Cramer & Co" the celebrated
London House of Regent Street London ^
have published many of his songs, and Sims
Reeves has promised to sing some of them :
so that he is evidently appreciated, and de-
servedly so, by our English cousins. Success
say we, to "Jeems Pipes of Pipesrille" where
ever he goes, and wherever his "Pipings"
are heard.

OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENCE.

LOXBOS. ESOLASD. JLT-T 1. 1870.

Dear Review — Mnsical affairs here have
been of late very interesting. We had a
"star" liere in the naonth of May in the
person of Herr Anton Rubinstein, and
wherever he played tlie hall was literallj-
crammed, the applause was enthusiastic
and the recalls were numerous. I know a
few professors of the old school who declare
his plaWng to be "vulgarly mechanical,"
but with the exception of those few he was
pronounced grand and unapproachable by
all who listened. To me he seemed to
possess everything to render his playing
perfection. Sometimes furious, hurling forth
torrents of notes with marvelous power,
making the instrument sound like tive pianos
rolled into one ; in a moment he would com-
pletely change, rippling notes like drops of
water, or executing some charming phrase.
Rubmstein is a singular-looking man, not
unlike Beethoven, but with long Iiair droop-
ing round his face.

At St. James' Hall on May 8th, J . S. Bach's
Hohe iCesse in B minor was presented, under
the direction of Mr. Otto Goldsmith, and it
was warmly received. At Covent Garden
Gounod's Romeo e Giiilietia was received
witii success on the 2.5th May ; the cast in-
cluded Mme. Patti, a charming Giulietta and
Signor Nieolini, an admirable Romeo. Wag-
ner's Tannkaufser was given for the first time
in England on the 8th, and was an immense
success. It was presented in excellent style,
the cast, chorus, orchestra and scenery all
being superior. M'lle -\lbani is more liked
this season than ever, winning no end of
genuine and heartfelt praLse. Her imperso-
nation of Elizabeth in Tannhauser, and of
Elsa in Lohengrin have made her a reputa-
tion second to none. Signor Verdi's last and
greatest work. Aula was produced on the
22nd with remarkable sucijess, and the music
is considered superior to that of any other of
his operas. Mme. Patti was excellent in the
title-role, and M'lle Ernesta Gindele made a
promising debut as Amneris. M'lle Anna
Mehlig and Mr. Wieniawski have been
playing this season, and have each won
universal admiration.

I look forward to an early return to the
Queen City of the Pacific, and shall welcome
the Review among other friends.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Cestexxiai. JmiLEE C'osf'ERT. — At Dietz
Hall in Oakland on the 13th ult., a Centen-
nial Concert was given under th^ direction
of Mr. John P. Morgan. An overture, and
the Finale of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony,
were suijerbly played by an orchestra of 40
pieces, and the O. H. Society, sang with
spirit Mr. Morgan's "Sea Fern," the words
of which were written by Mrs. Morgan. The
" National Song," Mr. Morgan's finest com-
position, with words by Bayard Taylor, was
exceedingly well rendered by a chorus of
male voices from the Harmonic Society, and
the Handel and Haydn Society of this city,
and heartily encored. Miss Clara Beutler
appeared in three numbers, with her accus-
tomed beauty of execution, one of which
"My Love he builtmea bonny bower," was
particularly well received. Mrs. John Tre-
hane sang an expressive solo, and Mr. Charles
Pflueger gave a gem from the oratorio of the
Creation. The duet from I Puritani by
Messrs. Walter C. Campbell and Fred Bome-
mann was remarkably well rendered, and
Mr. Louis Schmidt Jr's. violin concerto was
fully equal to any of his previous achie-
vements. Every number on the programme
was given with such finish that it is diflicult
to compare their merits, 'rtiis concert was
the musical event of the season in Oakland,
and the large and intelligent audience greeted
the participants with enthusiastic and deser-
ved applause, and many of the pieces were
repeated.

Howard - sT. M. E. Church Social. —
On the 4th instant, we attended one of the
monthly socials at this church, which are
given under the aupices of the Ladies' -\id
Society. The printed programme of exer-
cises included music as its leading feature,
and an appreciative audience secured en-
cores on everj- occasion. The organist of
the church. Prof. Mart'n Schultz, played in
good style Ketterer's " Galop de Concert."
Miss Anna Warner gave a \ oeal solo and
Misses Cady and Harlow a duet, in good
taste. Messrs. Frank Warner, Charles Car-
penter, Andrew Smith and Albert Norris,
sang very smoothly the quartette, "Hail,
Silent Xight." But the gem of the evening
was the quartette, " Good Night, Beloved,"
by Misses Addle Irish and .S. A. Rightniire,
and Messrs. Warner and Carpenter. Two
recitations was given, by Miss Abbie .^prague
and Mr. .1. W. Hamilton, respectively. Both
were well - rendered, but the former was
especially meritorious. Refreshments and
social enjoyment followed the regular pro-
gramme, on this very pleasant occasion.

Concert rx Oaki,axd. — On the 19th ult.,
at Dietz Opera House in Oakland, a com-
pUment.Try benefit concert was given to
Mme. Sampson Williams of this city, which
was well attended. The beneficiarj-appeared
in three vocal solos and a duet, with good

success. Her forte is operatic mnsic, and
her selections from yorma, La Traviata,
and L' A/ricaine were well adapted to her
voice. Miss Webb and Mr. G. H. Gray were
also noticeable for good vocal exeeution ; and
like Mme. WiUiams are pupils of Prof. G.
Xathanson of tnis city. Songs were also
given by Messrs. Russell and Jackman, and
a piano solo by Prof. Cames.

THE HOUR THAT TRIED MEN'S SOULS.

BY MRS. M.\RT F. VAN DYCK.

Remember now that awful hour.
When Bide by side our fathers stood ;
Wheu through the land the tyrant's power.
Went forth to waste their purest blood.
Wheu freedom iu her cradle slept.
And viilor watched her fitful rest,
Wheu even Briton paused and wept.
To know her offspring thus oppressed.

Remember now that dangerous hour,

Wheu face to face the false and true ;

Each qviickeued to delirious power

Drew sword and from him scabbard threw.

When those who bent to none on earth

Did lowly bow to Heaven the knee ;

And Bwore, the laud that gave them birth,

Should drink their blood or bear them free.

Remember now that gloomy hour,
When fortune left that faithful few ;
When wasted by the battle's shower.
Despair hung o'er the remnant true ;
When Freedom turned her haggard eye
On dearth and famine in her train.
And deemed that every tear and sigh
She gave for them was given in vuiu.

Remember now that glorious hour,
Wheu all they asked was proudly won ;
Wheu humbly bent the tyrant's power
To Liberty and Washington.
Let glory crown oxii country's fame.
Or dangers gather round her shore ;
To rouse the patriots sinking flame —
Remember now that glorious hour.

; ANTHEMS OF THE CHURCH,

1 BY n. C. BURNAP AND JAMES FLINT.

This collection is not, like many of the
day, a compendium of familiar oratorio
choruses and music po]3ular in other
forms, but consists of that which is really
j fresh and new. For all th(jse who a]ipre-
1 ciate the stately and dignified music of
the English Church, there will here be
found the gems of those composers who
have written for it. For those who like
the more ornate and florid, there is a great
abundance of solos, duos, trios and quar-
tettes from modern Italian composers
hitherto unknown in this country. No
book has ever been issued presenting so
great a variety of music adapted to both
quartette and chorus choirs, for all pos-
sible occasions. In it will be found
gems for all the Christian Church, melo-
dic settings of popular hymns, responses,
Gloria Patrias, anthems for special sea-
sons, etc., making it the vade niecuin of
every chorister desirous of using a high
class of music. It contains of itself a
complete repertoire for the use of any
choir throughout the entire' year.

The great artist, Torriani, writes ^^'elJer :
' Yours is truly the artists' piano."

The great musical director, Muzio, says:
" I consider the Weber Pianos the best
pianos in the world."

The celebrated contralto, Cary, endorses
the Weber pianos as follows : " I feel that
everyone is fortunate who owns a Weber
piano."

Madame Arabella Goddard, the great eon-
/■ert i)ianist, writes Weber: " Your instru-
ments have no ' superior' anywhere. I cer-
tainly have not seen any pianos in America
which approach them even."

Tlio best American pianist now living,
S. B. Mills, of New Y'ork, plays the Weber
piano in concert, and says of them : "Among
the many excellent pianos made in the city,
the Weber ranks foremost."

An artist's opinion of the excellence of the
Weber piano is expres.sied in the following
testimonial of Carreno's : " I am not sur-
prised that every great artist prefers tlie
Weber pianos; they are truly ' noble' instru-
ments, and ' meet every requirement of the
mo.st exacting artist.' "

_; Never before in the history of piano
forte manufacture has an instrument risen
so rapidly in popular favor.

Its intrinsic merit and decided superi-
ority over all others has caused every mu-
sician and artist of note to adopt and re-
commend it.

Nilsson says, "I shall take every op-
portunity to recommend and ])raise your
instruments."

Miss Kellogg says, "Your Piano'; are
my choice for the concert room and my
own house."

Lucca says, "Your uprights are extra-
ordinary instruments, and deserve their
great popularity."

Patti says, "I have used the Pianos of
every celebrated maker, but give yours
the preference over all."

Strauss says, "Your Pianos astonish
me. I have never seen any Pianos which
equal yours."

Wehli says, "Madame Parepa called
your Pianos the finest in the United
States. I fully endorse that opinion.
They have no rival."

The Weber Upright Piano.

Many years of trial have firmly established
the Weber Grand and Square Pianos in the
confidence of the people, but Upright Pianos
are looked upon with suspicion and well-
founded prejudice, owing to so many failures
in years past, the many difficulties surround-
ing their construction, and their former in-
feriorfiv m quantity and quality of tone.
Now, the fact is, they were formerly made
in large quantities by inferior makers, in the
cheapv>st possiVile manner, and sold at a
lower price than the Square Pianos ; whereas
the Upright is the more expensive Piano to
manufacture. The weakness of the frame
made tlieir standing in tune impossible, till
it was at last an accepted fact by the public
that they could not be made to stand in tune
and were worthless.

The convenience of their form, their adap-
tibility to boudoirs and small rooms, induced
Mr. Weber to commence a series of experi-
ments to produce an instrument which
would stand the test. The result is most
astonishing. By means of the double iron
frames, their capacity for standing in tune is
unquestionable. The volume of tone is fully
equal to the Square Piano — with more of the
quality of the Grand — of most exquisitely
musical character, pure and sympatlietic,
brilliant, -without being harsh, and of
astonishing fullness. The action and me-
chanism require, because of their compact-
ness, much more care and a higher class of
workmanship; and as purchasers become
acquainted with the merits of these wonderful
instruments the demand will constantly in-
crease.

The Weber Upright has astonished all the
foreign artists who visited this country,
many of whom have taken one with them
on their return. This again lias caused
European manufacturers of high repute to
purchase the Weber Upright as a pattern.
Tbey all agree that it is the best Upright
Piano they ever saw.

The peculiarity of the shape admits of
elaborate ornamentation, and the manufac-
turer has made, and is continually making
most beautiful cases to correspond with the
various styles of furniture. Sample in.stru-
ments caii be seen at the Warerooms of

Or 2: ail

An Organ] should be siin]ilr in con-
struction and good in (Quality, Volume,
and Variety of Tone, in Promptness of
litterance, and in Power of Expression.
In these respects and in Beauty of Case,
Superiority of Workmanship, Elegance
of Finish and Durability, the Standard
Okgax is Unrivaled.

The Promitness of Utteuaxck —
An Organ should s])eak instantly on the
key being pressed down. The Standard
will repeat like a piano.

Expression — The volume of Tone

should be under the perfect control of
the performer. This is secure by an im-
proved bellows that gives a perfectly
steady tone, and bj' using the Knee
Swell, the best swell known ; thereby
obtaining a perfect Cresendo,Diminuendo
or Forzando.

Variety of Effects — The Seven-
stop Organs, with their two sets of reeds,
new soft stops, Gamba and Viol d'Amore,
and Vox Humana, are excellent instru-
ments, but much greater power and
variet}' of effects are produced by adding
other stops mentioned below.

The Maxual Sib-Bass, an octave of
heavy IG feet-reeds, CC to C, adds
greater breadth of tone, and is especially
useful in sustaining a choir or chorus.
It is placed where it does not interfere
with the drawing of the reeds from the
manual.

The Octave Coupler doubles the
power, giving great brilliancy. It is
simple in construction and certain in
action, not getting out of order.

The Voix Celeste, a new stop with
an extra set of reeds of peculiar tone,
gives new and beautiful effects. It
should be combined with the Viol
d'Amore to produce the Celeste Solo.

The Saxophoxe. — This is a new and
beautiful Solo stop of 16 feet pitch. It
is equally useful in chorus.

The Vox-Hujiana secures all the
best effects of that stop, without liability
of derangement. It is effective with the
softest 8 ft. stop as a solo, and may also
be used with the Celeste, Viola or Saxo-
phone. Its best effect is in soft passages
with sustained tones.

Above features have given the First
Prize to the Standard organ in many a
severe test.

The most notable of these tests was
made at a late Fair of the American In-
stitute in New York City. This, the
only test where the instruments of the
principal makers have been brought to-
gether, lasted five weeks, with the first
organ builders, organists, and critics of
Boston and New York as judges. At
the end the Committee unanimously
awarded Peloubet, Pelton & Co. "the
First Prize, a Gold Medal, for the best
{. abinet Organ," while a hovise that now
widely advertise that their Organs "have
uniformly received the highest recom-
pense as the best instruments at Indus-
trial Exhibitions in America," received a
^i/cer Jfe':f(i/for the second best Cabinet
Organ.

They have also received First Prizes
at the State Fairs of Kansas, New Jersey,
Ohio and Michigan; the Provincial Fair
in Ontario, and wherever else exhibited.

THE LOST.

Life's never by darliuess bo thick overliuDg,

But some Bunny hours shine through ;

Still, who does not sigh, when together they're strui]

To sec the bright hours so few.

Our joys are by rapture so brightly enliauced.
The pleasures we sport with to-day.
We know not the value of, till they have danced,
Along with the others away.

Unnoticed Is Summer, which glides like a wave,
That laughs through the shells on the shore ;
Till Autumn is busily Btrewiug her grave.
With the leaves and the flowers she wore.

Thus, whene'tr at the tomb of the past we weep.
We see on its moBS-covered mould,
Like leaves strewn by .\utumn, our pleasures asleep,
.VU fretted with crimson and gold!

The leaves may again through the changes of du.^t.
Adorn the fair forehead of earth ;
.\nd Spring rend the chain and the burden of rust.
That lie in the spirit of dearth.

But never, O never, can Music arise.

From a stringwhich is severed in twain ;

And never a bow that has once spanned the skies,

Arch over the heavens again.

Nor can we revive in a sad hmuan heart.
The buds which are blighted by frost ;
Or pluck out the thorn from the desolate part.
Where blossomed the life it has lost.

TAKING THE VEIL.

[Translated from the French, expressly for the
Musical Review, by Wink Winkle.]

*' My iieiihow, you have been hei*c seareel3'
eleven day.s, and j'et you are already weary,"
said my uncle, cure de Merlemont, to me
one da}'.

I wi-shed to prote.st.

" Do not seek to deny it, in orderto deceive
me," he continued, with an amiable smile.
" I well know that Merlemont is not Paris ;
and that the grove below in my garden but
.slightly resembles the Bois de Boulogne.
You are not accustomed to the silence and
tranquility of my dwelhng; you miss the air
of the city, the distractions, the movement
of Parisian life. But j'our mother begged
me to keep you a month. You are my
prisoner, do not try to evade me."

"You make my prison too agreeable for
mo to have that idea, uncle."

"I am so hajipy in havingyou here," said
my uncle, with emotion.

I .saw tears in his eyes; I embraced him
ti^ndorly.

" I wish to recompense you," he said in

reply ; tomorrow we will go to Dijon. Have
yn. ever seen that groat religious ceremony,
which is called 'taking the veil?' "

"Never, my uncle."

"Ah, well, such an one takes place to-
morrow at Dijon. The young novice, who
consecrates herself to the service of the Lord,
bears one of the grandest names in the
province. His Grace, the Archbi.shop of
* « *, her maternal grand uncle, will offi-
ciate and receive her vows. The ceremony
will be one of the most imposing."

" I will accompany j'ou with much pleas-
ure, dear uncle."

The next day a countryman, who had
placed his horse and carriage at my uncle's
disposal, took us to Dijon.

Whatever may he the magnificence
employed by the church in these solemnities,
when a youg girl, beautiful and graceful,
renounces the world and domestic bliss,
taking upon herself vows of chastity, poverty
and obedience, it is difficult for even the
most indifferent to gaze upon this spectacle
without feeling an indefinable feeling of .sad-
ness penetrating heart, soul and spirit.

Such were my sentiments ; and in looking
around on the numerous assembly the same
impression seemed to rest on all. I saw tears
flowing down many cheeks; I hoard sighs
mingled with the religious chants.

A man of fifty, of distinguished figure and
grand manner, particularly attracted my
attention. lie wept during the whole of the
ceremony.

When the magnillcont l)londe tresses of
the new convert fell behind her, she turned
her face towards this gentleman, who shud-
dered, and saluted him; she also greeted a
few others, then became immovable as
marble.

I had seen her figure. What radiant
beauty ! And this young girl, so lovely, so
childlike, was banishing herself to the soli-
tude of a cloister ! Evidently, she was
resigned to this sacrifice. Was this her vo-
cation? Was she obeying the voice of God,
who thus selected her from among his most
l)erfect creatures?

On returning to Merlemont I pressed my
uncle with questions about the young nun.

" Tliat gentleman who cried .so bitterty
was, doubtless, her father?"

"No," he replied, "he is the Count do
Vaudeuil^"

" A near relation?"

" Not at all."

" But then — " " To cut short your inqu.

ries, my nephew, I will tell you the history
of this charming child, wdio to-day takes the
name of sister Louise."

And this is what mj' uncle related:

II.

Madame de Bressy was twenty-four years
old when death deprived her of her husband.

She left her house in Paris, and retired to
the Bres.sy estates, three leagues from Cha-
tillon-sur-Seine. Far from the Parisian fetes
she forgot the world of fashion in which she
had scarcely made herentrance. To renounce
all pleasures, all mundane vanities was no
slight sacrifice for a woman young, rich and
beautiful. But Mme. de Bressy had an only
daughter, five years old: that which she,
perhaps, would not have accorded to the
memory of her husband, she gave her child.
Before being a fashionable woman, she was
a mother. Without regret she deposed of
her sceptre as queen in order to devote her-
self entirely to her daughter.

When old friends came to visit the recluse
in her solitude, and when they begged her
to leave her monotonous life she showed
them her child saying: "This Is my only
joy, my last dream. I have nothing to
regret ; I find in her more than I lose by
voluntarily withdrawing myself from the
world. I am already growing old; gray
hairs are coming ; my brow is wrinkled, my
beauty is fading; — but my daughter comes
after me; she shall gather what escapes
me." This was the truth.

When Mademoi.selle de Bressy was sixteen
years old she was perfectly charming. Those
who had seen the mother before her marriage
recognized in the young girl the same dreamy
look, the same smile, the same enchanting
grace. They said: " You must not let this
adorable child remain shut up in this way ;
you have no right to rob our eyes of that
which can so charm them ! The world
claims her, expects her."

" God keep me from being selfish," respon-
ded Mme. de Bressy. " But I have not yet
completed my task : Louise is not married.
She shall only enter the world on her hus-
band's arm."

" And you ?" they asked.

"I? I Rdllfollowhertoenjoy hertriumphs,
and, perhaps, also to remembe, my own."

Madame de Bressy's fortune and grand
name would have been sufficient to have
attracted numerous suitors for Louise. But
the young girl's remarkable beauty made it
easy to forgot hor dowry. Brilliant offer

were successively made, and there were
receptions and magnificent fetes in the old
chateau.

Meantime, to eiich demand for lier hand,
transmitte<I to her by her inotlier. Mile, de
Bressy responded by a slight or strongly
accentuated no. — -The hour has not yet come,
thought Mnie. de Bressy; we will wait.

The young girl also awaited the day when
her heart should name its future lord.

" My dear Louise," said her mother to her
one day, " the Comte de Vaudeuil made me
a visit j-esterday ; he spoke to me at length
of you and his son."

The young girl's cheeks were tinged with
a deeper rose color.

" The count would be happy to name you
his daughter," continued Mme. de Bressy.
"What do you think of the young Vis-
count?"

" Dear mother, j'ou have taught me to

conceal nothing from you, I "

" Well ?"

" What the Count de Vaudeuil says makes
me veiy happy."

" His son does not displease you?"
" I believe, my mother, that I can confide
my happiness to him without fear."

Madame de Bressy pressed her daughter
ardently to her heart. " Your response tills
me with joy," she said. "Charles de Vau-
deuil is a young man of the highest distinc-
tion ; he possesses all qualities of heart and
intellect. I have long appreciated his rare
merits, and wished that he might become
your husband."

Some days later olRcial announcement was
made of the betrothal of Viscount Charles
de Vaudeuil with Mile. Louise de Bressy.

Then tne young man came every day to
the chateau. His father's residence was four
leagues away ; but he had an excellent horse
and thought nothing of the distance. The
hours passed quickly when they were
together ; the moment of separation always
arrived too soon.

• " Wheulam coming to you," said Charles,
*'I wish that my horse had wings; but
when I must leave you, ] find he goes far
too quickly."

III.

One morning Louise went into the garden
to await the arrival of her fiance. She was
reading a volume of Victor Hugo, — Inner
Voices.

She was walking slowly, dreamily. Of
what was she thinking ? Of what does a
young girl think on the eve of marriage? —
Of a smiling future, of hoped-for happiness.
She saw, doubtless, a radiant Iiorizon, for a
delicious smile hovered on her lips. She
walked slowly along without looking around
her, without seeing other things than those
foretold by her heart. The book fell from
her hand. Who knows? she was reading,
perhaps, a poem in the future more loving
and tender. Slie was already far from the
chateau, and would have gone on had not a

little brook barred her passage. She stopped,
raised her eyes and was surprised to find
where she was. .She drew a jewelled watch
from her belt; it was half past ten, it would
be more than an hour before Charles came.
By the brookside there was a little mound,
mossy and sheltered. Louise seated herself
there. At her right was a pile of stones,
which were covered by ivy vines and blos-
soming periwinkles. The young girl's steps
frighteneS a wren, which had, doubtless,
built its nest among these rocks. It flew
away, uttermg little sharp cries. A linne^
perched on the upper branches of a tree,
sang softly. Helped by a sweet breeze the
flowers, natural censers, let their perfumes
escape. The sun drinking the last drops of
dew gazed curiosly into the open corollas;
and the brook, monotonous babbler, chatted
as it coursed over the sand.

Louise opened her book again. In a few
minutes her eyes became suffused with tears.
Her soul and the poet's were in sympathy.

Under the charm of her book she did not
perceive that she was incommoded by some
rays of the sun creeping in through the
foliage. Mechanically she detached the lace
fichu which covered her white shoulders.
The light tissue, aided by the wind, fell by
the reader's side. Her head became weary,
her eyes half-closed. Was it tne effect of
the heat? or was it, rather, the influence of
the poetry, which resounded in her ears as
the lullaby sung by the young mother to
her sleeping babe ?

She turned the page and read the following
stanzas :

And tbe tomb unto the rose spake :
With the tears shed by tlie day-break
Upon thy bosom, O flower of love.
What makest thou? The rose above
Then gently spake unto the gloomy tomb below :
What doEt thou, with that which to thy pit doth BO
reluetant go?

Again the rose unto the sombre tomb spate :

From the tears in the shade, silently I make

A perfume, so precious which, on escapinti hence

By the winds is watted to Heaven as sweetest incense.

Then spake the tomb : Frail flower, from what I take.

Corrupted, into my gloom an angel in Heaven I makel

' The young maiden's arms fell, and her
book closed. Her head, seeking a support
rested at the foot of a tree upon a mossy
pillow.

Suddenly, the leaves of the ivy were
stirred, and a sound was heard upon them
which would have made one's blood turn
cold.

The brown head of a viper showed itself
through the orifice of a hole in the root of a
tree. The reptile glided slowly along, finally
leaving its retreat entirely. After having
cautiously assured itself there was no danger
it crept on, and in the direction of the sleep-
ing girl.

IV.

Monsieur de Vaudeuil arrived at the
chateau.

" Louise has gone into the garden," said
Madame de Bressy to him. |

"Will you permit me to rejoin her, Ma-
dame?"

" Yes, my friend," said Madame de Bressy
smiling. " You will probably find her
reading under an honey-suckle arbor. But
return quickly, for the sun is very warm,"

Charles ran to the garden, where he sought,
vainly, for Louise. He was about to return
to the house when he met the gardener, who
told him that Mademoiselle was walking in
the park. "Follow the main road to the
right, you will surely meet her ; that is the
path she took!"

The young man hastened on, finding no
traces of his affianced, until he reached the
brooklet. His face beamed with joj' when
he perceived Louise asleep under the shade
of an acacia.

Not wishing to awaken her too abruptly
he went very softly. He enjoj-ed in advance
Louise's surprise at his appearance.

All at once he started back with a convul-
sive movement ; with pale face, open mouth,
and eyes di.stended with fright he looked at
the sleeper as if she had suddenly become
to him an object of horror.

Spectacle of horror, it was enough to mad-
den one — the viper of which I have just
spoken had coiled itself up and was sleeping
on the young girl's breast,

Louise was sleeping so profoundly that
she had not felt the body of the serpent
creep upon her, and had made no movement
to startle the awful reptile.

Tne young man tried to conquer his terrible
emotion in the presence of danger so im-
minent to his loved one. "Oh, to save her,
to save her!" he murmured.

But how ?

To awaken her would be to cause her to
make a movement wliich would immediately
arouse the ire of the viper.

To wait, motionless, until she awakened
herself would be to expose her to the .same
peril.

He determined to bring to his aid a long
branch by which he could raise the serpent
and throw it in the stream. But he shud-
dered lest his hand might tremble and want
nerve, and that the beast, troubled in its
repose, should inflict.

The situation was frightful. From one
moment to another the young girl might
make a motion. There was no time to lose,
it was necessary to act.

" My God, what ought I to do !" At that
moment Louise pronounced his name.

He hesitated no longer. When he judged
himself sufficiently prepared, he advanced
resolutely toward the young girl.

As he approached with bent body, ami
hand extended to seize the reptile, he felt his
arm grow strong and his courage redouble.
But his heart beat almost to suffocation, and
great drops of perspiration stood out on his
forehead.

He almost touched the young girl; he
could hear the sound of her breathing. He

inclined himself more, he lowered his hand

slowly, surely, there was no tremor now

He uttered a cry of triumph as he sprang
back. But, although surprised in its sleep,
the viper had had the time to throw its fangs
into the arm of the courageous young man.
However, this was not enough revenge: it
raised its head previously, made a sudden
spring and struck him in the socket of
the eye.

Charles, in despair, cried aloud. With
two springs the viper was away, off to its
woody retreat.

V.
The struggle between Charles and the viper
had only lasted a second. It was all finished
when Mile, de Bressy opened her eyes aud
saw the Viscount standing before her.

She quickly arose and extended her hand
to him ; but remained motionless upon seeing
how pale he was.

" Charles, Charles, what is the matter with
you?" she exclaimed.
The yoimg man smiled sadly.
" O Louise, my dear Louise," he said, " I
love you and I am going to die."

"To die! todie!" she cried, withastrange
voice; "my God, do I still dream?"

"I supplicate you," replied Charles, "not

to be fi-ightened I have just been stung

by a viper."

"A viper! gracious Heavens!" Then
taking him by the hand they hastened to
the chateau.

All tne physicians of the neighborhood
were called. They passed the night at Bressy
watching the young Viscount.

But, alas ! all their care was in vain. The
poison spread with frightful rapidity. The
poor young man died the next day, after
painful agonies.

A month later, on the day when Louise
was to have been wedded to Charles, Mile,
de Bressy entered the convent of the Dames
Benedictiones.

"Now j'ou know," continued my uncle,
"why Mile, de Bressy, or rather sister
Louise, became yesterday the bride of the
Lord.

ANECDOTE OF MOZART.

Mozart arrived one evening on a visit in
Berlin, and finding his Opera " Figaro's
Wedding" announced, went at once to the
Theatre and took a seat in front of the orches-
tra. Being absent-minded, he would now
and then grumble when the singers intro-
duced flourishes which he never wrote, or
when the movement was taken too slow,
but when he felt pleased, he would applaud
with a will. The fashionable people around
him could not help noticing the plainly
dressed little man with his eccentric manners,
and many had a smile or laugh at his ex-
pense. All at once the second violin.? played
a wrong note, which some conductor nad
altered. This was too much for him to bear,

so he said " Play D natural here, my boys."
Some members of the orchestra recognised
him, and five minutes later all the singers
and musicians knew that Mozart was in the
house. The Prima Donna in consequence,
felt so much embarassed, that she pretended
to feel indisposed, and refused to sing the
rest of her part. When told of this, Mozart
rushed on the stage, complimented her, and
promised to study the part with her, and this
encouragement enabled her to sing tlie rest
of her part with enthusiasm. E.

REMINISCENCE OF HUMBOLDT.

Whenever Humboldt came to Potsdam, he
was in the habit of making promenades out-
side the city on a fine day, and was often
observed seated on a bench wliere he could
overlook a fine landscape including the
Havel-lakes. One day a young man greeted
him and took a seat near him, when Hum-
boldt praised the beautiful view. The un-
known granted that it was rather pretty, but
compared to Switzerland or a view from the
Chimborazo it did not amount to much.
Humboldt stated that he had only heard of
two trials to ascend the Chimborazo, once by
Humboldt, Bonpland and Moutufar and 311
years later by Boussingault and Gale, but
asked the .young man if he had also made the
attempt. The other replied, that he had not
only made the attempt, but had been on the
very top of it, while his companions were
obliged to give it up a few thousand feet
below. The following conversation then
ensued.

H. May I ask who your companions were
in this very dangerous undertaking ?

U. Certainly sir ! It was Humboldt and
the other two whom you just named. Hum-
boldt had the most courage, and tried hard
to climb after me, but he found it quite im-
possible, and the French gentlemen had
begged us many times to return.

H. Well, you seem to be hardly thirty
years old, and Humboldt was there forty
years ago in 1802, was he not ?

U. I beg your pardon sir, but you are
mistaken, it was in 1820, and I was at that
time 20 years old. It was from mere envy
tliat Humboldt never mentioned my name
in his books, because he was vexed that he
could not follow me to the highest peak of
the Chimborazo. He has been in a bad
humor ever since that time, and often quar-
reled with me without cause, which compelled
me to give him a piece of my mind and leave

JAPANESE MUSIC.

The last number of the transactions of the
German society for the study of the natural
history and ethnology of Eastern Asia in
Yokohama gives an interesting account of
music in Japan. The Japanese musicians
are usually divided into four classes ; those
who play religious music only, those who
play secular music, blind musicians, and
female musicians. The musicians whe possess
a theoretical knowledge of music, and even
those who know their notes, are very few in
number ; they are scattered all over the
country, and belong only to the class of
those who occupy themselves with sacred
music. Both the secular and religious per-
formers belong to certain societies or guilds,
which meet at pi-escribed periods and for
prescribed purposes, and there are large
numbers of musicians who play in private
houses for a stipulated fee. The members
of these guilds have various privileges. At
one of the sittings of tlie German society a
musician presented himself who had the
right of setting the first string of the " koto"
(a .seven-stringed instrument) an octave lower
tlian any one else. The Japanese use string,
wind, and percussion instruments. These
are divided into pure instruments (for relig-
ious music only) and impure, which are
used only for secular objects. There are no
wind instruments of metal. Twelve keys
are used, one for each month, and each key
has 12 tones. Tuning forks of various shapes,
all different from those known in Europe,
are in common use. The strings of the
instruments are of silk, covered with wax,
and the notes simply give the number of the
string to be struck, or, in the flute, of the
hole to be stopped. Semitones are distin-
guished by a sign placed against the number
of the preceding tone. The notes are written
downwards, and the words to the left of
them. Songs are always in unison with the
principal instrument in the accompaniment.
On the whole, Japanese music is very simi-
lar to that of China; most of it, indeed,
comes from that country, and is equally
unpleasant to European ears. — Pall-MaU-

The Rev. Newland Maynard, gave, not
long since, a scholarly lecture upon " The
History, Improvements, and Uses of the
Organ," at St. Paul's Church, Brooklyn,
X. Y., before a large and appreciative audi-
ence. After tracing the development of the
instrument down to the present day, he
spoke on church music, from which we
extract the following : "All the music should
l:ie suited to the congregations. The psalms,
canticles, and hymns should be within the
reach of those who are joining in the worship
of God. There should be no operatic selec-
tions. The chants should be broad and
solid; and there is nothing inconsistent in
having anthems, but they should be of the
best kind, and all that is grand and true
.should be recognized. Congregations shou^
join in the singing — should feel that t^'g^
have a duty in praising God." The lec^^jj
also gave brief sketches of the li^yjo^art
musical labors of Handel, Haydn^^^ show-
Beethoven, Cherubini, MendelsSpj.^'yg^g„t,
ing what they had done for the'' ijj^gjpj,fg(j
of sacred music. The lecture:" ^^^^ j,,e

MISS GARY'S TRIUMPH IN MOSCOW.

In a letter to a friend in Chicago, Miss
Anne Louise Cary thus graphically describes
her recent enthusiastic reception at Mo.scow:

" Upon my word I didn't know whether I.
should succeed or not. I said to myself,
' Who knows, now, whether I»have talent or
not?' — audit may be, as the jealous ones
used to say, when I was applauded, ' Of
course, she's an American.' I was ill with
a cold, for I had to pay my tribute to the
treacherous climate, but after my first rehear-
sal with the orchestra I knew that ' failure'
would not lie the verdict, for the musicians
rose to applaud nie, which was the first time
they had noticed an artist. Tliat gave me
courage. The terrible night came, and I
put on the warpaint with fear and trembling,
and my ej'es were double their size with
excitement. I sang my couplets, which
open tlie second act of 'Trovatore' — and such
applause ! It was just like the Cincinnatians
at the Festival (bless them). I had been
told to make my first bow at a certain box
containing the princes and princesses, but
for the life of me I couldn't tell which it
was, so I stood still, as frightened as a goose,
and then, in my misery, I bowed first to the
'plebs.' Horrors! When I came to my
senses I bowed to the wrong liox. After the
delirious scene I was applauded and shrieked
at until I thought the Modocs were on my
track, and then I bowed to tlie wrong liox
again ! After the close of the second act we
were called out four times. By that time I
knew where to bow, and I smiled my sweet-
est to 'the Royalties.' After the third act I
was recalled three times, and after the entire
opera we went out six times.

The second time we sang the public was
even more enthusiastic, and I had to go out
alone in answer to the cries of ' Cary solo !'
They called for me alone the first niglit, but
I do not like to ofTend iny sister and brother
artists, so I went out with others at the end
of tlie opera. I went out alone si.\ times,
and sucli snouting and waging of hats and
handkerciefs ! My success lias been the
event of the season thus far. Y'ou see they
thought that nothing special could come out
of Y'ankeedom. Wlieii I say that I am an
.\nierican they think T am from South
.\nierica, which I liasten to explain by telling
them that I am tlio Yankccst of Yankees,
and that I was born among the rocks of dear
old Maine. I am .so glad to have made a
success and to have pleasure to my friends,
for surely you will all be glad to know tliat
these barbarians like me just as well as my
own countrymen. To-night we sing Lcs
Huguenots, and I must confess to more
nervousness than before ; for witli my Gipsy
face and dress I felt as if they couldn't
see me. AnnI'; Louise C.\Ky."

MUSIC ARRANGED FOR BANDS.

Parties in the interior desiring band music
arranged, can have it done at this office, by
addressing us, giving a. li.st of instruments,
and stating tlie comparative experience of
oacli performer, and whctlier tlu) tenors and
baritones read in the bass or troblo clef. In
this manner, the nuisie can be arranged to
suit the particular needs of eacli band. The
arrangements can bo made on cards if
desired. The " Pretty as a Picture" Schot-
tische, which has become very popular, can
bo supplied for §2.50 to §3, according to the
number of instruments m the band.

MUSIC IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

On the 29th ult., at a special meeting, the
Board of Education rescindeif a former reso-
lution which restricted the teaching of vocal
music to the grammar grades of the public
schools, thus restoring it to the primary
grades. Two additional teachers of music
were then elected, one of whom was an
excellent teacher during the past school year.
The list now comprises seven teachers, viz :
Messrs. Washington Elliot, W. E. Price and
W. D. Murphy, and Misses Ella A. Lamb,
L. E. Ryder, Hattie Summerfield and Marie
Withrow. The new teacher, Miss Withrow,
is an accomplished vocalist, who had superior
success last year as a vocal and piano teacher
in the Napa Collegiate Institute. This
uneommonlj'good appointment is very credi-
table to the Board of Education, as well as
their action in continuing to the younger
pupils an opportunity for musical culture,
wliich ought to commence with the alphabet ;
and all friends of our art will feel encouraged
by this wise and considerate action of our
School Board. We learn that the rapid
growth of our city has necessitated the
opening of new schools and classes, until iii
the last distribution, the music teachers will
have from 65 to 70 classes each, under their
charge ; and certainly no smaller number of
teachers could do full justice to all the
schools.

A CHILD HARPIST.

Musical circles in New York are now eou-
eerning themselves very agreeably with the
wonderful natural power, and the exquisitely
cultured skill of a charming young harpist,
who has just arrived in this country from a
tour of triumph in the Spanish-American
States. This really brilliant artist is a lovely
girl, almost a child in appearance as well as
in years (her fifteenth birth-day was kept at
Valparaiso on the 28th of February last)^
who was born in Barcelona, and upon whom
her enthusiastic compatriots conferred the
picturosque name of Esmeralda Cervantes,
in commemoration of her first great hit in
her chosen art. On the occasion of the
celebration at Vienna, April 23d, 1873, of the
death-day of Cervantes, a number of Span-
iards, then in the Austrian c.ipital, assembled
to listen to Mozart's requiem in the Church
of St. Michael. A harp solo preluded the
" JudicarLs," a -solo touched with so much
grace, fire, and feeling, that it arrested tlie
attention of all, and e-xcited a curiosity
which rose into amazement when it was
found t hat the performer was a child of eleven
years. The young Prince Alfonso, now king
of Spain, insisted on seeing tho charming
child, and when she was prosenteJ to him
a.s Clottildo do Cordo, he royallj- insisted
upon rebaptizing her by the name which she
is now making famous, of Esmeralda Cer.
vantos. Eight months afterward, Strauss
presented her to tho public of Munich, and
from time her career has been one of contin.

Sherman 8r Wyde's Musical Review.

uous success in almost all parts of Europe
and of South America. Austria, Belgium,
Holland, Turkey itself, has done homage to
youth, grace and gifts. She lias received
diplomas of honor from the Sultan, from the
Emperors of Austria and Brazil ; the Kings
of Spain, Portugal and Holland; and the
Chief Magistrates of half a dozen Spanish-
American Republics. But her highest honors
have been won in the field of charity. In
the year 1874, touched with the sufferings of
her native land, then ravaged by the Carlist
war, this generous girl gave a series of con-
certs in France for the benefit of the Spanish
wounded, which enabled her to bestow many
thonsand dollars upon the hospital fund.s of
both armies, and earned for her a Vice
Presidency of the Society of the Cross of
Geneva, and a garland of gold voted by the
city government of Barcelona. It is a striking
illustration of the genuine artistic enthusiasm
of the Spanish race, that, in recognition of
the genius and generosity of this daughter
of the Catalonian capital, there was, in Feb-
ruary, 187.5, founded an academy which
bears the title of " El Liceo Esmeralda."
It is to be hoped that an early opportunity
will be found for making our musical
people in general acquainted with this really
gifted and charming visitor from the lands of
sunshine and song.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

LEOPOLD LICHTENBERa.

We have learned that this boy of fourteen
years, a resident of this city, received the
first prize, as a violinist, at the Royal Con-
servatory of Music at Brussels, at the recent
annual competition. His parents and nu-
merous friends in this city, all feel justly
proud of his remarkable success, and he well
deserves their congratulations.

m'lle. jenny claus.
The press of our city have already announ-
ced the forthcoming marriage of Miss Jenny
Claus, the eminent violiniste, with Mr. Chas.
Pernet, the French Vice Consul at Honolulu.
This gentleman's musical attainments were
thoroughly tested by performing with Mile.
Claus' Leonard's Grand Concert Duet for two
violins, at that city recently, and the
Hawaiian Gazette speaks very highly of his
execution. Mr. Joseph Rekel, the efficient
conductor of her late concerts in this city,
has now located here as a teacher of vocal
music, and may be addressed in our care.

MRS. ANNA E. .STETSON.

This lady, who has proved a great accession
to the choir of the First Congregational
Church in this city, was for 13 years engaged
at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn
Heights N. Y. Her voice is a rich, melodious
contralto, and her enunciation is remarkably
clear and distinct. Her solo in the otftrtory
from Handel's Messiah, on the .3d inst., was
rendered with pathos and power, and her

vocalization on all occasions is distinguished
by beauty of expression. We congratulate
the choir and congregation of this church
upon their good fortune in securing a con-
tralto of such rare ability ; and we liope soon
to have tne pleasure of hearing her in
concert.

jiR. .morgan's concert.
In noticing Mr. Morgan's Oakland Concert,
the Call of this city says : " Miss Virginia
Morgan deserves mention for the manner in
wnich she sang, ' What care I how fair she
be.' The National Song, words by Bayard
Taylor, was rendered in good taste by Mr.
Morgan." As a matter of fact Mrs. Virginia
Morgan was the authorof the song in question,
and it was sung by Mr. Trehane. We cer-
tainly observed nothing about his personal
appearance that would lead us to mistake
him for a lady, and certainly not for Mrs.
Morgan. The National Hymn was sung by
a male chorus of about sixteen voices. The
reporter's ear was at fault in supposing that
all that noise came from Mr. Morgan's throat,
and we hope the Call will correct its error.

K. E. trauner.
This gentleman, who has recently arrived
in this city, is a Hungarian by birth, who
has become eminent as a teacher and player
of that most delicate of instruments, tlie
Zither, having appeared in concerts in all
the leading European cities. In Paris, he
played this instrument in the Italian Opera
with fine success, and in New York, he has
been under engagement with Theodore Tho-
mas and OfTenbach. Prof. Trauner will stop
here for a short time to give concerts and
lessons, and we trust our music-loving com-
munity will avail themselves of his services.

H. W. PATRICK.

This gentleman, well known in musical
circles through his connection with Gray's
Music Store, has resigned his position for the
purpose of teaching in this city. Mr. Patrick
is a fine pianist, and will be a welcome
accession to the profession. We are confi-
dent that he will be very successful in his
new vocation.

SANTA RCSA SEMI.VARV.

This Home School for young ladies has
recently been established in Santa Rosa ])\
Mrs. E. E. Pollok, with an able corps of
teachers, and a thorough course of instruction-
The location is an excellent one, and we
wish success to the enterprise.

RODERICK AND OSCAR HEROLD.

These gentleman, former residents of this
city, have recently returned from Europe,
where they have received a thorough educa-
tion at the Paris Conservatory of Music.
They are now teaching piano, in this city,
and playing in concerts, and we wish them
complete success.

REV. CHARLES CLARK.

Early this month, this celebrated lecturer
favored our citizens with several entertain-

ments at Maguire's Opera House. The
subjects were very interesting, particularly
Charles Dickens, and the polished style and
fine voice of the speaker added greatly to the
well-arranged matter of his discourses. Mr.
Clark has had a brilliant tour in Australia
and New Zealand, and is now on his way to
Europe.

MISS A. C. ERSKINE.

This lady, who has recently arrived on
this coast, is a graduate of the Boston Con-
servatory of Music, and comes highly
recommended as a piano and vocal teacher
and performer. She has located in this city,
and we hope she may receive a liberal share
of patronage from our music-loving com-
munity.

THE THOMAS ORCHESTRA.

A report has been in circulation of the dis-
banding of Thomas' celebrated orchestra.
The following from the editorial columns of
the iV. y. Tribune will quiet all such fears:

We are authorized to contradict the state-
ment that the discontinuance of the concerts
in Philadelphia and the temporary breaking
up of the orchestra will be allowed to inter-
fere with Theodore Thomas's work during
the coming Winter. This announcement
will be greeted with unfeigned pleasure by
all lovers of good music throughout the
country. Mr. Thomas has been at work
almost unremittingly for more than ten
years, and his labors, which have been of
the most exhausting character, as well as
the worry and anxiety necessarily incident
to such an undertaking as his, mu.st have
gone far toward wearing out his strength.
After a much needed rest, which he has
thoroughly earned, he will resume his work
with renewed vigor. He has not yet
announced what are to be his plans for the
coming campaign, but we may presume that
he will continue his Symphony Concerts
here. They cannot be spared, no matter
what may be the achievements of the Phil-
harmonic Society under its new direction,
and Mr. Thomas may feel assured of the
support of the public and of the press, should
he decide to resume them. We cannot have
too much good music, and we have had
altogether too little. Besides, both societies
are sure to be benefitted by a little healthy
competition, which will keep them from
stagnating and insure to the public an oppor-
tunity of hearing the best new works of
contemporary composers. Perhaps, too,
Mr. Thomas may not confine his concerts to
this city, but may play in others in which
he can feel sure of adequate support. It is
a great misfortune, indeed a great disgrace,
that New York, which ought to be the chief
scene of his labors, has not provided him
with a proper hall in which to play, that we
might have him with us throughout the
year. His Symphony Concertsare admirable,
so far as they go, but there is much to Ijc
done in other directions. There is an

Shef^man Sr Wyde's Musical Review.

immense amount of that charming class of
compositions, chamber music, which is for
our audiences altogether a terra incognita,
and there can lie no more competent inter-
preter of these works than Thomas. It may
be because of the dullness of business and
the universal feeling of poverty that no one
seems to come forward to the support of the
project, but the hall is a positive necessity,
and it will have to come before very long.
In the mean time let Thomas have such
support in what concerts he is able to give,
that he may not give up in despair and go
out of the country.

[From the New York Herald.l

THE WAGNER MUSICAL FESTIVAL,

fiATBErxH, Bavaria, Aug. 13, ISTfi.

The 13th of August, 1876, will form an
epoch in the history of music second to none
in importance. The long dream of Richard
Wagner's life has been realized, and his
unquestionable genius, unbending will, in-
domitable perseverance and a rooted belief
not only in the heavy task he imposed on
himself, but in his absolute power to accom-
plish it successfully, have brought forth the
desired fruit. When, thirty years ago, his
opera of ' Rienzi" was produced in Dresden
it was but the reflection of the style of his
early friend, Meyerbeer. Since that time
his artistic nature has cast off all fetters of
sarvile imitation, and the culmination of the
labors of a lifetime is found in the great
music-drama commenced to-day in this town
of Bayreuth. The performance of "Rhein-
gold, " which is the introductory music-drama
to the " Ringof tlieNibelungen," commenced
at seven o'clock this evening, and lasted
three hours. Long before the prescribed
hour for the opening of the festal theatre all
Bayreuth was excited, and the vastconcour.se
of visitors were out of doors, eagerly awaiting
the moment when they could enter the
temple of music, the Walhalla of lyric art.

The Emperor of Germany, the Emperor
and Empress of Brazil, the King of Bavaria,
l'rin<je George of I'russia, the Prince of
HohenzoUern, Prince Wilhelm of Hesse,
Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, the Grand
Duke of Mecklcnberg, the Duke of Anhalt-
Dessau and a largo number of other titled
magnates occupied seats in the Prince's
gallery. About sixty Americans attended
the performance. The scene in the auditorium
of the theatre before the commencement of
the music drama was an exceedingly brilliant
one. Looking up from a seat in the amphi-
theatre toward the Prince's gallery, the eye
was dazzled with the splendor of the uniforms
of the suites of the various roynl personages,
forming a bright background to the largo
aH.semblage of visitors that lilled llio KiOO
seats of the amphitheatre. Above the r(jyul
gallery was a second one, in which a largo
number of the citizens of Bayreuth were
Beated. An unusual feature for a German
opera house was the prevalence of full even- 1

ing dress, which lent an additional attraction
to the body of the theatre.

At seven o'clock eight truflipeters, stationed
in the opening or front of the theatre over
the amphitheatre, gave the signal for the
commencement of the work, and the echoes
of the long trumpet call had scarcely died
away towards the distant Fichtelgebirge and
Kulons when from the " mystic abyss" the
opening strains of the invisible orchestra of
Hans Richter floated through the house. To
those accustomed to the brilliantly lighted
effect of the great opera houses of Europe,
the appearance of the Wagner theatre was
very singular. The auditorium was quite
dark, light there being considered by the
composer as calculated to distract the atten
tion of his hearers. Another strange feature
was the suppression of all outward applause,
which is also regarded by Wagner as annoy-
ing and destructive to that continuity of
thought necessary for the full apjireciation
and enjoyment of his great work.

When the curtain rose on the first scene,
the bed of the Rhine, the efl'ect was so life-
like that it was diflicult for the audience to
restrain their delight. The three Rhine
nymphs or nixies, Woglinda, Vellgunde and
Flosshilde, appeared, gliding about .singing
and chasing each other among the rocks.
The "water music" which accompanies this
scene is of that flowing, undulating character
that fits the dreamy songs of the nymphs
and is full of charm. Woglindo sings the
opening measures with the strange words,
"Weia! waga ! Woge du Welle!" The
voice of Mnie. Lillie I.ehmaim blended
admirably with the orchestral accompani-
ment. Marie Lehmann and Minna Lammert,
who represented the other two nymphs,
were no less effective. The appearance of
the dwarf, Alberich, and his seizure of tlie
magic "Rheingold" formed the next feature
in the opening scene.

From the waters of the Rhine to the moun-
tain tops, on which the gods were discovered
slumbering, was a noiseless and remarkable
change. Here occurred a long duet between
Wotan (Odin), the sun god, and Fricka, his
wife, followed by some characteristic music
for the giants, Faffner and Fasolt. As the
scene progressed Frcia, the goddess of Love
andSpring, Froh, herbrother, Donner(Thor),
Logo, the fire god, and Erda (Earth) were
heard, each having .some peculiar instru-
mental motif by which he or she might l)e
recognized. This phrase, although generally
short, partook much of the character of the
per.sonage it represented. From the moun-
tains to Nibelheim, the dark abode of Albericli
and his dwarfs, was a sombre iiliango. The
repulsive Alberich monopolizes the greater
portion of the music of this scene, and it was
a severe test for the baritone voice of Gail
Hill, one in which, however, he was entirely
successful. The scene ended with the cap-
ture of the dwarf king by the sun god and
fire god. Back to the mountains again, an
agreeable change, especially as in the Nibel-

heim scene every part of the theatre was in
gloom. The gods dragged in their unwilling
pri.soner and forced him to give up the ring
and all his other treasures. The curse which
Alberich hurls after the ring is a grand piece
of musical declamation, and Herr Hill deliv-
ered it with rare efiectand emphasis. Erda's
prophecy of the sad " twilight of the gods"
is one of the features of the work, and it
received due ju.stice from Mile. Luise Laide.
The appearance of Erda, as she rose up in
the midst of the gods, was very picturesque.
The last scene represented the gods crossing
over by what was designed to reiuesent a
rainbow bridge into the palace of Wallialla,
rejoicing at the recovery of their goddess
Freia, while from the depths below rose the
sweet voices of the Rhine daughters apostro-
phizing the magic "Rheingold" of which
they had been robbed. The concluding trio
of the nixies was very beautiful. The scenic
effects were grand beyond description. There
was no noise or delay in the changes of
scene; everything worked like a cliarm.
The lighting arrangements of the stage were
perfect. The curtain fell on the last scene at
ten o'clock. The artists, one and all, acquitted
themselves to the satisfaction of the mae.stro
himself, and Hans Richter deserves all praise
for the admirable manner in which he han-
dled the orchestra and led his 120 instru-
mentalists safely thi-ough the intricacies of
the score. The following was the cast : —

Wotan, Franz Betz, Berlin; Donner,
Eugene Gura, Hamburg; Froh, George Un-
gcr, Bayreuth ; Loge, Heinrich VogI,
Slunich; Alberich, Carl Hill, Schwerin;
M<me, Carl Sehlosser, Munich; Fasolt,
Albert Ellers, Coburg; FaflTner, Franz von
Reichenburg, Frankfort ; Fricka, Frederike
Gruen, Coburg; Froia, Marie Haujit, Cassel;
Erda, Luise Laide, Darmstadt. Rhine daugh-
ters— WogHiide, Lillie Lehmann, Berlin;
Flosshilde, Minna Lammert, Berlin.

Few will indulge in .sleep to-night in Huy-
reuth until a very late hour, at least, as all
are discussing the event of the day and
indulging in various theories as to the other
portions of the great music drama. The
introductory work, " Rheingold," has made
a profound impression, even on those who
came with prejudices against Wagner and
liis works. The performance wasa revelation
in opera, the turning pointi perhaps, in the
history of the lyric stage.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Mapame Fabbri's Matinees. — The St.
James' lIsxM Matinees on Wednesday after-
noons at 3 o'clock, at Piatt's Hall, are
becoming a fixed institution in our musical
community, and are successful both in array
of talent and attendance. The concert of the
23J ult. opened with a duo for two pianos,
excellently played by Messrs. Oscar and
Roderick Herold. To the great regret of the
audience, Mme. Ines Fabbri had a severe
cold and was unable to sing with her usual
brilliancy. Mme. Zeiss Dennis gave in good
style an aria by Meyerbeer. Mr. Charles
Pflueger sang a tenor aria from Mignon with
the correct taste for which he is noted. Mr.
Jacob Muller gave a romanza by Mulder in
vigorous style, and Mr. Fred. liornemanii's
romanza, "The Monk," was superbly ren-
dered, and was the gem of the occasion.
Several other pieces were given by the same
artists.

The matinee of the 30lh ult. was of equal
interest. The zither solo of Prof. K. E.
Trauner was played with e.xquisite beauty,
and won an ardent encore. Prof. Trauner
is a thorough artist, and we have never heard
his playing surpassed. Mme. Fabbri was
in good voice and Millard's popular song
" Waiting" was charmingly rendered. Mme.
Zeiss Dennis sang the Brindisi " Galathea"
acceptably, and Mr. Jacob Muller gave
"The iStirrup-cup" with a strengtli and
energy which won a deserved encore. Mr.
Theodore Habelmann, who is always a fa-
vorite, sang Abt's melodious song "Embar-
rassment" with sympathetic expression, and
as an encore piece, "Ah! so Fair," from
Martha. The quartette from Rigoletto by
the four vocal artists was one of the leading
features of the concert.

The matinee of the 6tli inst. introduced
Miss Leonora Simons, who sang agreeably
the romanza ".Si tu savais." Mr. Karl
Formes, who was in fine voice, i^pcared in
two numbers, one of which " Non piu a'drai"
was magnificently sung, and was encored.
A serenade by Mr. Gustave Hinrichs, a beau-
tiful composition, was most effectively given
by Mr. Jacob Muller, and was universally
admired. Mr. Hugo L. Mansfeldt, who is
one of our best pianists, was warmly appre"
ciated in his playing of Mason's "Silver
Spring," on the Weber Grand Piano, and a
trio for piano, clarionet and cello, by Mr.
Mansfeldt and Messrs. Gnstave and Julius
Hinrichs, was artistically played. Several
other pieces were performed with nearly
equal success. The interest in these matinees
is evidently increasing, and Mine. Fabbri is
fortunate in her combinations of talent.

Concert ix Oakland. — On Thursday
evening August 31st, a concert for the liienefit
of the Berkeley Church was given at the First
Congregational Church, by Miss Dillaye,
organist, assisted by Mrs. W. C. Little, Mrs.
G. W. Collins, Mr. F. Boruemann, and Mr.

C. L. Weeks. The instrumental part of the
programme consisted of four selections for
the organ, and of Miss Dillaye's playing we
can speak only in terms of unqualified praise.
It is the highest compliment to her as an
artiste that she can command the breathless
attention of a miscellaneous audience, as she
did on this occasion, through one of Bach's
intricate Fugues, which to ordinary ears is a
sealed book. We can, however, say of her
that 'she understands Bach. Concentration
of mind and technical practice are necessary
for the interpretation of such compositions,
and it is a great attainment for any person,
especially a lady. We have never heard any
thing more feelingly done than her rendering
of the famous Miserere of Gregorio Allegri,
and surely it must have been a hardened
heart that did not feel like crying " Have
mercy," in consonance with its solemn and
pathetic strains. Mrs. Little's popularity
was evinced the moment she appeared, by a
hearty and prolonged applause from the
large audience. She never sang better than
on this occasion, and therein we say a great
deal, for she is a delightful singer at any time.
The pieces selected by her, " Amid this
Greenwood smiling" by Thalberg and the
" Fisher Maiden" (the latter being in response
to a determined encore), were admirably
suited to her voice and style. Her perfect
repose is refreshing to feel and hear, and her
sotto voce tones in the upper register are
almost unrivalled. Mrs. Collins' rich con-
tralto voice was heard to good advantage in
the trio from " Messe Solennelle." Mr.
Bornemann gave great satisfaction to the
audience with his deep, organ-like voice, but
we have heard him sing much better than
he did this evening. His Pro Peccates was
a trifle too slow, and in the solo part of the
Walpurgis Night, he not only disregarded
the tempo in a manner that must have been
perplexing to the accompanist and chorus,
but failed in the beautiful legato, which
characterizes the solo part. In the Eia Mater
from Stabat Mater he however sang in ex-
cellent taste and with great effect. Mr.
Weeks surprised all his friends by his fin-
ished singing in the solo, "I have a Thought"
for which he won a hearty encore. He has
a clear high tenor voice, and only needs more
cultivation and study to take high rank as a
I singer. The choruses, we are sorry to say,
■showed a painful lack of independence, and
we were at times afraid they would stop
altogether. With this exception however,
the concert was a complete success, and we
congratulate the Berkeley church on the
financial result.

Miss M. E. Cook's Concert. — On the 11th
ult., a complimentary concert was given
to Miss M. K. Cook, of this city, by the
pupils of Prof. D. .Speranza of the Italian
Musical Institute. The beneficiary appeared
in four numbers, of which the cavatina
" Gemma di Vergy" and her part in the duet
from Masnadieri were the best, and were

warmly received by the appreciative au-
dience. Miss Cook has a clear and pleasant
voice, and has made a marked improvement
since we heard her last. Miss Vittorina
Petrarchi, who is a powerful soprano, ap-
peared in the operatic aria " Linda" with
fine effect. al.so in two other pieces. Miss
Stella Bickle sang an alto solo, and took part
in two duets. Mr. Julius Stein appeared in
selections from Rigoletto, Atlila and Masna-
dieri. Mr. Stein has a pleasant and expres-
sive tenor voice. Mr. C. Charruau sang a
romanza from Crispino, and Mr. Cornelius
Makin gave in good style an aria from
Ernani. Two choruses were given by all the
pupils of the In.stitute, that from William
Tell being especially good. The concert was
a success, and the pupils have evidently
received faithful instruction from their
teacher.

John P. Morgan's Concert in Oakland. —
This enjoyable concert was given on the
evening of the 7th in.st. at Dietz's Hall, to a
large and appreciative audience. The .soloists
were Mi.ss Clara Beutler, Miss Alice Schmidt,
Mr. John Trehane, Mr. Fred. Bornemann
and Mr. Charles Pflueger, assisted by a full
orchestra and chorus of mixed voices. Mr.
Morgan has gone out of the beaten track in
his concerts, and instead of giving a dozen
solos, or a full instrumental concert, he
skillfully arranges his programme by inter-
spersing solos with part songs, concertos and
overtures, so that the audience are not wea-
ried. The orchestra showed the result of
Mr. Morgan's training and it was refreshing
to see some regularity in the bowing of the
violins, after the see-.sawing we are accus-
tomed to. We were much pleased with the
finished performance of Miss Alice Schmidt
upon the piano. This young girl bids fair
to earn a fine reputation. Miss Clara Beutler
sang her parts very sweetly. Mr. Fred.
Bornemann gave the basso aria from the
Magic Mute in excellent taste. His rich
basso voice always pleases the audience.
Mr. John Trehane sang Mrs. Virginia Mor-
gan's song "What care I how fair she be,"
\evy well, only the orchestra was much too
loud, and he was compelled to force his tones
in order to be heard at all. The song itself
is a beautiful one. We have heretofore
spoken of Mr. Morgan's National Song, and
we feel more than ever that it is a grand
composition. We are proud that the man
who is capable of such a production lives in
our midst. The part songs were delightfu]
to hear, and were rendered in perfect time,
and in the best of taste.

Musical Soiree — An enjoyable musical
soiree was given to invited guests at No. 214
Powell Street, on the 25th ult., by Mr. Thos.
J. Duffy, assisted by Mr. Charles S. Hoffman.
A well selected programme was presented,
and some of the best amateur talent of the
city participated. The exercises opened with
the i)iano duo "Rhapsodic Hongroise,"
which became so popular at Gilmore's Con-

Shef\man & Hyde's Musical Review.

certs, and it was finely played by Messrs.
C. S. and H. Hoffman. The principal lady
vocalist was Miss Marie Withrow, wJio has
a clear, powerful and finely cultivated mezzo-
soprano voice, and wlio is also a superior
pianist. In her several numbers, she was
not only brilliant in execution, but faithful
in expression of the sentiment. In his
instrumental duo with MissWithrow,Dr.J.H.
Stallard's flute playing was so finished as to
be worthy of an artist. Mr. C. Rowland
sang very smoothly and agreeably in his
duo "See the Pale Moon," with Miss With-
row. Mr. J. C. Williams, who is a poweiful
tenor, gave " If on the Meads" with excellent
effect. Mr. A. Hossack, who is chiefly
known as a portrait painter of uncommon
ability, rendered "The White .Squall" with
good taste. Mr. Thos. J. Duffy played a
violin solo with such skill and beauty as to
delight the audience. Miss Lillie H. Post,
who has a sweet voice, gave two vocal solos
in good style; and Miss Lena Hoffman, a
youthful pianist, did exceedingly well in a
Fantasia. A good piano solo was given by
Mr. H. Hoffman, and a fine piano duet by
Miss Josie Brown and Mr. C. S. Hoffman.
Mr. /,. Ackerman's recitation " .Shamus
O'Brien" was a pleasant diversion, and his
imitations of leading actors were singularly
felicitous and exact. The last piece on the
programme, and the gem of the evening,
was the (luartette given by Miss Withrow,
soprano; Dr. Stallard, flute; Mr. Duffy,
violin ; and Mr. C. S. Hoffman, piano. The
musical entertainment was followed by re-
freshments and dancing, and the i)arty was
a complete success.

Miss P^annie Mauston's Conckut. — On
the 31st ult., a complimtary testimonial con-
cert was given to Miss Fannie Marston by
the City Officials, Military and Fourth of .July
Committee, at Pacific Hall. The beneficiary
was in good voice and appeared in four num-
bers, and was received with enthusiasm,
especially in "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Miss Ida Valerga sang " Angel's Serenade"
in her usual finished manner. Messrs. J.
('. Williams and S. S. Bennett sang a <luo
from Martha i\ith good taste. Mr. Chas. F.
Morel and Mr. Julius Stein did themselves
justice in their selections. The programme
included several nnnjbors for each partic-
ipant, and they were all given to the satisfac-
tion of the audience.

CoNCKitT AT Benu'Ia.— The first of a series
of eight concerts at the Young Ladies Semin-
ary, Benecia, under the direction of Messrs.
Hugo L. Mansfeldt and (iustav Hinrichs,
took phure on the 7th inst., and as might
have been expected from the superior ability
iif its managers, it %vas a thoroughly artustic
and enjoyable entertainment. Mr, Mansfeldt,
who stands in the front rank of musicians on
the Pacific Coast, fully sustained his richly
deserved reputation as a pianist and musical
director. Mr. Gustav Hinrichs is known as
one of the ))est vocal instructors in the State.

The two trios by Beethoven and tlie one by
Mozart, executed by Messrs. Mansfeldt,
Gustav and Julius Hinrichs on the Piano,
Clarionet and Cello, showed each to be a
master of his instrument, and were received
with hearty applause. Mr. Julius Hinrich
distinguished himself in his violoncello solos,
"Last Rose of Summer" and Schubert's
Serenade, which were warmly encored. The
overture "Poet and Peasant" was finely
executed by Messrs. Lyons and Kellogg, and
selections from Fra Diavolo were equally
well rendered bj- Misses Patterson and Hud
son. The vocal solos "Spring .Song" by
Miss Anna Hudson, and " How far is it to
Heaven" by Miss Ida Stenhouse, showed
careful culture and good native talent. The
object of these concerts is to purchase, for
tne use of the Seminary, the Weber Concert
Grand Piano which is used in giving these
entertainments ; and we congratulate the
principal of the Seminary, Miss M. E. SneU,
upon having procured the services of Messrs.
Mansfeldt and Hinrichs as instructors. It
is to the enterprise and generosity of these
gentlemen that the .Seminary is indebted for
the pleasure of these concerts.

Pbof. Trover's Recital. — On the 2nd
inst., at Bancroft's Music Rooms, Prof. Chas.
Troyer gave a I'iano Recital to iuvited
guests. The list of amateurs comprised those
of his lady pupils who have been under liis
instruction for one year, and therefore not
the most advanced. Both classical and
operatic music was rendered, and the young
ladies played with fine precision and beauty
considering their practice. The pianists were
Misses Josephine Yebl, Rosie Oreene\TOld,
Klla F. Cottle, Fanny Blooniingdalc, Katie
Verdon and Mary Verdon; and the playing
of Miss Y'ehl in Bertini's " Lac des Fees"
which surpassed that of the other numbers
on the programme, is worthy of especial
mention. The vocalist of the occasion was
Miss Marie Withrow, a former piano pupil
of Prof. Troj'or, and a finished performer,
who gave with feeling Kucken's melodious
song, "Good Night, Farewell;" and Guin-
bert's difficult waltz-rondo, " Heart, whence
thy Joy," with artistic execution. At the
close. Prof. Troyer was warmly congratulated
by his friends uihjii the success of liis enter-
tainment.

Ladies Aid Society Concert. — On the
*th inst., at the Howard St. M. K. Church, a
concert was given for the benefit of the
Ladies Aid Society, under the direction of
Mr. Martin Schultz. The amateur vocalists
sang very creditably, and were earnestly
applauded. The leading features of the con-
cert were the solo " Love may come to-
morrow," by Mrs. Moore; the duet "I
Peseatori," by Mrs. Moore and .Miss S. A
Rightmire; the solo "Like a Strain of
Wondrous Music" bj' Miss ,\ddic Irish;
and the duet "Fairy Chimes," by Miss Ijaura
Winall and Miss .S. A. Rightmire. Other
pieces were acceptably given by Miss Peiinie

and Messrs. O. Landon, Frank Warner and
Charles Carpenter. Two choruses were given
with spirit, one with a good solo by Mr. F.
B. Cutting. Messrs. Mayer and Hertweck
played a zither duet with excellent taste.
The concert was a success, and was followed
by refreshments and a social entertainment.

Sabbath-School Anniversary. — On the
10th inst., the twenty-seventh anniversary
of the First M. E. Sabbath School was held
at the church on Powell St. near Washing-
ton. The exercises, religious and musical,
were very 'nteresting, and the patriotic song
" America" was given with spirit. A " Cen-
tennial Offering" was printed for this occa-
sion, and distributed to the school and the
audience, which gave a historical sketch of
the church and school, since their first
organization, also letters from pastors, super-
intendents and others. The occasion was
largely attended.

DoM Pedro's mcsicai, appreciation. —
It appears that the Emperor Dom Pedro
admires the music of Liszt as well as the
poetry of Longfellow. At a grand concert
givenby the musical congress inPhiladelphia,
His Majesty sent a request to the manager,
Mr. James W. Morisey, to have performed
Liszt's Rhapsodic No. 2 (in C sharpniinor).

To do this it was necessary to change the
programme. The announcement of the Em-
peror's wish was made from the stage and
applauded. The celebrated Rhapsodie was
then performed bv Miss Julia Rive, with the
success that usuallv attends her delivery of
this, her favorite piece. This was the Em-
peror's first mnsical request made in this
country. He has since marked with special
favor the harp plaving of Mile. Esmeralda
Cervantes, who has rccentlv been heard in
New York.

The father of the Emperor, Dom Pedro L,
has left .some inanuscrijit compositions that
testify to his love for and study of music
Mr. P. S.^ilmore is in possession of some of
these which include a .spirit-stirring march
entitled "The Brazillian Constitution."

Miss Keli.o«(i, on being asked by a Phil-
adelphia interviewer to what she attributed
her success, replied: "Principally to a de-
termination to succeed, and .steady, laborious
work. I have always aimed to study well
the music of the role, and to dress in strict
accordance with the diaraclcr. 1 have en-
deavored to act conscientiously throughout.
I always keep faith with the public. I might
1 it up in a single sentence — my success
is the result of conscientious devotion to
ny art."

In another column, our readers will

FAULTY PRONUNCIATION IN SINGING.

BY W. K. WHEELER.

Teachei's of vocal music as a class, neglect
to study and perfect themselves In a true and
thorough method of pronunciation, while
teaching the pupil to read music with facility.
Words ending with consonants preceding
words commencing with vowels, constitute
the chief difficulty of the singer to overcome.
Teachers generally instruct pupils not to
carry the consonant on to the vowel of the
follawing word, but to distinctly articulate
it, thereby making a slight pause between
the two words. This, as a rule, is an error.
The true method is, to hold steadily the
vowel sound to the end of the measure, or
time allotted to the word, letting the sound
of tne consonant ring keenly and quickly to
a perfect finish, taking up the preceding
vowel sound without stopping the voice. If
this is accomplished perfectly, and no inter-
val of time allowed to escape between the
two, it is impossible to perceive the consonant
as being carried on to the vowel, and the
sentence will roll smootlily and continuously
to the end, without being distorted by the
rough gutteral sounds attending any other
method.

There should be no mterval of silence
between the notes of a musical phrase, ex-
cept as required for particular punctuation
or expression, in accordance with the manner
in which the music may be marked to be
sung, or according to the taste of the artist.
The vowel predominating in every syllable
or word should be seized by the voice, with
the greatest rapidity rolling the consonant
sound immediately on to it, and should not
be altered or varied from commencement
until ending by changing the position of the
mouth or tongue. It is the duty of teachers
to train their pupils in exercises in pronuncia-
tion, and method of rendering every con-
sonant in connection with each vowel, in
every variety of combination, that they may
become thoroughly familiar witli the diffi-
culties that an artist has to encounter. This
can only be done by self-sacrificing perseve-
rance.

It is a fault of teachers, as well as a majority
of singers, to prize the ability to read music
at sight too highly, forgetting that a good
quality of voice is much the harder of the
two to attain. If three quarters of the time
spent in training the voice was devoted to
studying the true quality of a perfect tone,
and one quarter of the time merely to the
art of reading music, the pupil would make
as a rule, greater proticicucy in the same
interval of time. Quality should bo the
great desire to gain — not quantitj' — in fact
quality is quantity ! A rougli, inliarmonic
tone loses its vibrating power in a much
shorter distance from the singer, than a tone
rendered perfectly. It should be borne in
mind that the intellect 'will always keep

ahead of the voice. Intellectually a singer
comprehends more than he can execute, both
in singing or performing upon an instrument,
hence the voice requires the more training
of the two to be able to answer the calls of
the intellect. Yet withal genius is necessary
to become a true artist.

BT MES. J. K. VAN SLTKE.

Woman has ever had her meed of praise;

Poets have sung her charms in loftiest

Verse. Sculptors have made the marble form so

Beautiful, so near to life, that but the

Breath of God was wantiug for Its perfect

Work. The Painter, with his soft and graceful

Touch, has traced the eye, the ear, the hand ;

Has caught the smile, the frown, the tear, and stamp'd

The face mth seal of immortality.

And science too, has used the sunbeBm's

Power, to fii it on the plate as firm

And true, as perfect in each line, and form,

And shade, as if the hand of Deity

Had placed it there.

But who covild ever measure, trace, or tell

The power of a human voice, whose highest

Note of song seemed like a strain from Heaven's

Own choir, let down to earth, that we might learn

What music in its perfect beauty is.

A voice whose softest tones fall on the ear

Like angel whispers round a dying'couch ;

Its fullness vast, its melody sublime ;

Its echoes sweeter far than harp strings swept

By evening's breeze, or zephyr's gentle sigh.

Daughter of song! such was thy matchless voice!

And though forever hush'd on earth, 'tis not

Unheard in Heaven. Amid the white robed

Angel choir it swells in harmony divine

The praise of Him who gave it birth, and sent

It on its lofty mission here below,

To gladden human hearts ; then called it

Uack, to join the melodies of Heaven .

BARRY'S LEGACY.

lu the earlj' days of minstrelsy, one of the
favorite bands that traveled the East, under
the title of 'West & Peel's Campbell Minstrels,
contained that charming singer and excellent
man, Sher. Campbell. He had been dis-
covered by the manager of the troupe as a
quiet little carriage trimmer in New Haven.
Conn. The Sher. Campbell of those days
was a slight, bashful youth, very unlike the
robust fellow of later times.

The star of that company was a baritone
singer, named Barry, who was then far gone
in consumption, and when the party was
breaking up — one going here, and another
there — Barry went home to die. As they
bade him good-bye, he spoke to each of some
trinket he meant to leave to them. Coming
to Sher. Campbell, who was his favorite
friend, he asked him to make his own selec-
tion from several articles of diamond jewelry.
"■\\'hy, God bless you, old boy," said Sher.,
"j-ou'rc not goinij to die, but if you wore,
I'd rather j'ou'd leave me yonr lower notes
than all the diamonds you own." And
Barry answered: "'When I die you shall
have them."

The next month Sher. was in California
with the Bryants — possessed, as all his friends

will remember, of a high, light tenor voice.
But one morning he arose, and while dressing
began in his usual fashion to run the scales.
As the upper notes of his voice ran out lie
noticed their unusual strength ; and Jerry
Bryant, who was lying in bed, remarked to
Sher. how well he was singing, that the
climate was doing him good. Their admira-
tion was changed to wonder, however, when
the tenor carried a descending scale into the
regions of a baritone. Full, deep, and pow-
erful, an octave and a half below any note
he had ever sung, went the tenor voice of
Sher. Dropping into a chair, he burst out,
"Jerry Bryant, Barry's dead; I've got his
lower notes."

Almost immediately came the announce-
ment of the poor sufferer's burial, and the
little bequests went to the members of the
old company; while to the astonishment of
everybody, the tenor, Campbell, became the
baritone New York was familiar with in
opera for years to come. A hundred times
the writer of this has heard him run the
scales and finish the deep, rich lower register
by saying, "Ihat's Barry's legacy — the
dear old fellow who left me his lower
notes." — Stejihen Fislcc.

Ox Sunday, October 1st, an Autumnal
Praise Service will be held at the First
Congregational Church, in this city, and
will, doubtless, be largely attended.

pianist. In her several numbers, she was
not only brilliant in execution, but faithful
in expression of the sentiment. In his
instrumental duo with MissWithrow,Dr.J.H.
Stallard's flute playing was so finished as to
be worthy of an artist. Mr. C. Howlaud
sang very smoothly and agreeably in his
duo "See the Pale Moon," with Miss With-
row. Mr. J. C. Williams, w ho is a powerful
tenor, gave " If on the Meads" with excellent
effect. Mr. A. Plossack, who is chiefly
known as a portrait painter of uncommon
ability, rendered "The White Squall" with
good taste. Mr. Thos. J. Dufly played a
violin solo with such skill and beauty as to
delight the audience. Miss Lillie H. Post,
who has a sweet voice, gave two vocal solos
in good style; and Miss Lena Hoffman, a
youthful pianist, did exceedingly well in a
Fantasia. A good piano solo was given by
Mr. H. Hoffman, and a fine piano duet by
Miss Josie Brown and Mr. C. S. Hoffman.
Mr. Z. Ackerman's recitation " Shamus
O'Brien" was a pleasant diversion, and his
imitations of leading actors were singularly
felicitous and exact. The last piece on the
programme, and the gem of the evening,
was the (luartette given by Miss Withrow,
soprano ; Dr. Stallard, fiute ; Mr. Dufty,
violin ; and Mr. C. S. Hoffman, piano. The
musical entertainment was followed by re-
freshments and dancing, and the ])arty was
a complete success.

Miss Fannie M.\rston's Conckrt. — On
the 31st ult., a complimtary testimonial con-
cert was given to Miss Fannie Marston by
the City Oflieials, Military and Fourth of July
Committee, at Pacific Hall. The beneficiary
was in good voice and appeared in four num-
bers, and was received with enthusiasm,
especially in "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Miss Ida Valerga sang " Angel's Serenade"
in her usual finished manner. Messrs. J.
C. Williams and S. S. Bennett sung a <luo
from ^farllla nith good taste. Jlr. ('has. F.
Morel and Mr. Julius Stein did themselves
justice in their selections. The programme
included several numbers for each partic-
ipant, and they were all given to the satisfac-
tion of the audience.

f'oNcKUT AT Benicia.— The first of a series
of eight concerts at the Young Ladies .Semin-
ary, Benecia, under the direction of Messrs.
Hugo L. Mansfeldt and Gustav Hinrichs,
took place on the "th inst., and as might
have been expected from the superior ability
of its managers, it vas a thoroughly artistic
and enjoyalile entertainment. Mr, Mansfeldt,
who stands in the front rank of musicians on
the Pacific Coast, fully sustained his richly
deserved reputation as a pianist and musical
director. Mr. Gustav Hinri<'hs is known as
one of the best vocal instructors in the State.

Clarionet and Cello, showed each to be a
master of his instrument, and were received
with hearty applause. Mr. Julius Hinrichs
distinguished himself in his violoncello solos,
"Last Rose of Summer" and Schubert's
Serenade, which were warmly encored. The
overture "Poet and Peasant" was finely
executed by Messrs. Lyons and Kellogg, and
selections from Fra Diavolo were equally
well rendered by Misses Patterson and Hud-
son. The vocal solos "Spring Song" by
Miss Anna Hudson, and " How far is it to
Heaven" by Miss Ida Stenhouse, showed
careful culture and good native talent. The
object of these concerts is to purchase, for
tne use of the Seminary, the Weber Concert
Grand Piano which is used in giving these
entertainments ; and we congratulate the
principal of the .Seminary, Miss M. E. Snell,
upon having jirocured the services of Messrs.
Mansfeldt and Hinrichs as instructors. It
is to the enterprise and generosity of these
gentlemen that the Seminary is indebted for
the pleasure of these concerts.

Prof. Trover's Recital. — On the 2nd
inst., at Bancroft's Music Rooms, Prof. Chas.
Troyer gave a Piano Recital to invited
guests. The list of amateurs comprised those
of his lady pupils who have been under his
instruction for one year, and therefore not
the most advanced. Both classical and
ojjeratie music was rendered, and the young
ladies played with fine precision and beauty
considering their practice. The pianists were
Misses Josephine Yehl, Rosie Greene\mld,
Ella F, Cottle, Fanny Bloomingdale, Katie
Verdon and Mary Vcrdon ; and the playing
of Miss Y'ehl in Bortini's "Lacdes Fees"
which surpassed that of the other numbers
on the programme, is worthy of especial
mention. The vocalist of the occasion was
Miss Marie Withrow, a former jiiano pupil
of Prof. Troyer, and a finished performer,
who gave with feeling Kucken's melodiovis
song, "Good Night, Farewell;" and Gum-
bert's difficult waltz-rondo, " Heart, whence
thy Joy," with artistic execution. At the
close. Prof. Troyer was warmly congratulated
by his friends upon the success of his enter-
tainment.

Ladies Aid Society Concert. — On the
*th inst., at the Howard St. M. E. Church, a
concert was given for the benefit of the
Ladies Aid Society, under the direction of
Mr. Martin .Schultz. The amateur vocalists
sang very creditably, and were earnestly
applauded. Tlie leading features of the con-
cert were the solo " Love may come to-
morrow," by Mrs. Moore; the duet "I
Pescatori," by Mrs. Moore and Miss S. A
Rightmiro ; the solo " Like a Strain of
Wondrous Music" by Miss Addie Irish;
and the duct "Fairy Chimes," by Miss Laura
Winall and Miss S. A. Rightmire. Other
pieces were acceptably given by Miss Ppnnie

and Messrs. G. Landon, Frank Warner and
Charles Carpenter. Two choruses were given
with spirit, one with a good solo by Jlr. F.
B. Cutting. Messrs. Mayer and Hertweck
played a zither duet with excellent taste.
The concert was a success, and was followed
by refreshments and a social entertainment.

Sabbath-School Anniversary. — On the

10th inst., the twenty-seventh anniversary
of the First M. E. Sabbath School was held
at the church on Powell St. near Washing-
ton. The exercises, religious and musical,
were very 'nteresting, and the patriotic song
"America" was given with spirit. A "Cen-
tennial Offering" was printed for this occa-
sion, and distributed to the school and the
audience, which gave a historical sketch of
the church and school, since their first
organization, also letters from pastors, super-
intendents and others. The occasion was
largely attended.

DoM Pedro's musical appreciation. —
It appears that the Emperor Dom Pedro
admires the music of Liszt as well as the
poetry of Longfellow. At a grand concert
givenby the musical congress inPhiladelphia,
His Majesty sent a request to the manager,
Mr. James W. Morisey, to have performed
Liszt's Rhapsodie No. 2 (in C sharp minor).

To do this it was necessary to change the
programme. The announcement of the Em-
peror's wish was made from the stage and
applauded. The celebrated Rhapsodie was
then performed by Miss Julia Rive, with the
success that usually attends her delivery of
this, her favorite piece. This was the Em-
peror's first mnsical request made in this
countrj'. He has since marked with special
favor the harp playing of Mile. Esmeralda
Cervantes, who has recently been heard in
New York.

The father of the Emperor, Y)om Pedro I.,
has left .some manuscript compositions that
testify to his love for and study of nuusic
Mr. P. S.^ilmore is in possession of some of
these which include a spirit-stirring march
entitled "The Brazillian Constitution."
-♦ ■

Ml.ss Keli.0(4(i, on being asked by a Phil-
adelphia interviewer to what she attributed
her success, replied : " Principally to a cle-
t<>rmination to .succeed, and .steady, laborious
work. I have always aimed to study well
the music of the role, and to dress in strict
accordance with the character. I have en-
deavored to act conscientiously throughout.
I always keep faith with the public. I might
sum it up in a single s<>nteuce — my success
is the result of con.scientioiis devotion to
my art."

notice a fine story, translnted from the
French, by n superior lady and linguist,

contrihuti<in with which she lias favored

FAULTY PRONUNCIATION IN SINGING.

BY W. K. WHEELER.

Teachers of vocal music as a class, neglect
to study and perfect themselves in a true and
thorough method of pronunciation, while
teaching the pupil to read music with facility.
Words ending with consonants preceding
words commencing with vowels, constitute
the chief difficulty of the singer to overcome.
Teachers generally instruct pupils not to
carry the consonant on to the vowel of the
follmving word, but to distinctly articulate
it, thereby making a slight pause between
the two words. This, as a rule, is an error.
The true method is, to hold steadily the
vowel sound to the end of the measure, or
time allotted to the word, lotting the sound
of tlie consonant ring keenly and quickly to
a perfect finish, taking up the preceding
vowel sound without stopping the voice. If
this is accomplished perfectly, and no inter-
val of time allowed to escape between the
two, it is impossible to perceive the consonant
as being carried on to the vowel, and the
sentence will roll smootlily and continuously
to the end, without being distorted by the
rough gutteral sounds attending any other
method.

There should be no mterval of silence
between the notes of a musical phrase, ex-
cept as required for particular punctuation
or expression, in accordance with the manner
in which the music may be marked to be
sung, or according to the taste of the artist.
The vowel predominating in every syllable
or word should be seized by the voice, with
the greatest rapidity rolling the consonant
sound immediately on to it, and should not
be altered or varied from commencement
until ending by changing the position of the
mouth or tongue. It is the duty of teachers
to train their pupils in exercises in pronuncia-
tion, and method of rendering every con-
sonant in connection with each vowel, in
every variety of combination, that they may
become thoroughly familiar with the diffi-
culties that an artist has to encounter. This
can only be done by self-sacrificing perseve-
rance.

It is a fault of teachers, as well as a majority
of singers, to prize the ability to read music
at sight too highly, forgetting that a good
quality of voice is much the harder of the
two to attain. If three quarters of the time
spent in training the voice was devoted to
studying the true quality of a perfect tone,
and one quarter of the time merely to the
art of reading music, the pupil would make
as a rule, greater proficiency in the same
interval of time. Quality should bo the
great desire to gain — not quantity — in fact
quality is quantity ! A rough, inharmonic
tone loses its vibrating power in a much
shorter distance from the singer, than a tone
rendered perfectly. It should be borne in
mind that the intellect will always keep

TO PAREPA ROSA.

■Woman has ever had her meed of praise:
Poets have sung her charms iu loftiest
Verse. Sculptors have made the marble form so
Beautiful, so near to life, that but the
Breath of God was wanting for its perfect
Work. The Painter, with his soft and graceful
Touch, has traced the eye, the ear, the hand ;
Has caught the smile, the frown, the tear, and stamp 'd
The face with seal of immortality.
And science too, has used the sunbesm's
Power, to fix it on the plate as firm
And true, as perfect in each line, and form.
And shade, as if the hand uf Deity
Had placed it there.

But who could ever measure, trace, or tell
The power of a human voice, whose highest
Note of song seemed like a strain from Heaven's
■ Own choir, let down to earth, that we might learn
What music in its perfect beauty is.
A voice whose softest tones fall ou the ear
Like angel whispers round s. dying'couch ;
Its fullness vast, its mclndy sublime ;
Its echoes sweeter far than harp strings swept
By evening's breeze, or zephyr's gentle sigh.
Daughter of song! such was thy matchli ss voice!
And though forever hush'd on earth, 'tis not
Unheard in Heaven. Amid the white robed
.\ugel choir it swells in harmony divine
The praise of Him who gave it birth, and sent
It ou its lofty mission here below,
To gladden human hearts ; then called it
Back, to join the melodies of Heaven .

BARRY'S LEGACY.

In the early days of minstrel.sy , one of the
favorite bands that traveled the East, under
the title of West ct Peel's Campbell Minstrels,
contained that charming singer and excellent
man, Sher. Campbell. He had been dis-
covered by the manager of the troupe as a
quiet little carriage trimmer in New Haven.
Conn. The Sher. Campbell of those days
was a slight, bashful youth, very unlike the
robust fellow of later times.

The star of that company was a baritone
singer, named Barry, who was then far gone
in consumption, and when the party was
breaking up — one going here, and another
there — Barry went home to die. As they
bade him good-bye, he spoke to each of some
trinket he meant to leave to them. Coming
to Sher. Campbell, who was his favorite
friend, he asked him to make his own selec-
tion from several articles of diamond jewelry.
"Why, God bless you, old boy," said Sher.,
"j-ou'rc not going to die, but if you were,
I'd rather you'd leave mo your lower notes
than all the diamonds you own." And
Barry answered: "When I die you .shall
have them."

The next month Sher. was in California
with the Bryants — possessed, as all his friends

Almost immediately came the announce-
ment of the jjoor sufferer's burial, and the
little bequests went to the members of the
old company ; while to the astonishment of
everybody, the tenor, Campbell, became the
baritone New Y'ork was familiar with in
opera for years to come. A hundred times
the writer of this has heard him run the
scales and finish the deep, rich lower register
by saying, "That's Barry's legacy — the
dear old fellow w^ho left me his lower
notes." — Stejihen Fislcc.

Ox Sunday, 0(;tober 1st, an Autumnal
Praise Service will be held at the First
Congregational Church, in this city, and
will, douljtless, be largely attended.

leading teachers throughout the country, a few of which arc .^iven below:

Mkssrs. Brainard's Soxs:— I have just given Brainards ]
the Piano forte a careful examination. I have been quuc an
proof of your remark to me some time since — "that your New Method would be
the best of the kind. " This I thought was saying a great deal^but by carefully
examining page after page, I soon found that your statement was, in all you had
promised, contirmed. I must eay without hesitation, of all the numerous piano
instructors published. I have seen none presented in a form so methodical and
clear. It cannot fail to become a favorite with teacher and pupil, and will un-
doubtedly soon be properly appreciated and universally adopted. I for one at
once will bring it into use.

August Michaelis. Teacher of Music.

Ne^v York City.
Messrs, Brainard: — Having examined Brainard's New Method for the
Piano forte, I take pleasure in saying that in many respects it is superior to any
other work of the kind gotten up in this country.

Logansport, Ind., July3i, 1S71.
Messrs. S. Brainard's Sons:— I have given Brainard's New Method forthe
Piano forte a careful examination and have but one conviction — that it is the
instruction book of the day. Everything is so new in comparison with so many
other books in the market. Allow rte to offer you my sincere congratulations.
Hoping the demand for your "New Method" may cause you to print an edition
every month, I am Very truly your.'.,

Gents : — I have carefully examined "Brainard's New 'Method for the Piano-
forte," and am glad to be able to record my entir& approval of the work. I con-
sider it superior to any work of the class now before the public. Having used
Peters' and Richardson's Instructors for some time, I can freely say that Brain-

exclusively in all my teaching.

throughout the country ns superior to any work of the kind pubhshed in this
country. It deserves, and 1 have no doubt will meet with great success.

The following are a few of the testimonials to its merit already received
rom Teachers, Organ Manufacturers and the Press:

Boston, Mass., July 24, 1872.
Messrs. Braina«d :— I have carefully examined the "Kimball's New Method
for the Reed Organ." and am pleased to be able to record my approbation of
the work. In progressiveness, careful adaptation of exercises and pieces, and
fulliind lucid explanations, together with sterling and pleasing selections for
practice it seems to me to be emphatically what it claims, a long step in advance
of any similar work.

I cordially recommend it to teachers and pupils, ns a valuable and artistic
method for acquiring a mastery of the instrument for which it is designed.

Late Music Director, Peabody Institute. Bait. Present Conductor of B««ton
Jubilee Chorus, Chelsea Choral Society and others.

Andover, Mass., July 25, 1872.
Messrs. S. Brainard's Sons:—

Gents :— I am most decidedly pleased with what I have seen of "Kimball's
New Method for the Reed Organ." The selections arc all of a high order, and
from the works of the Masters of the Art, progressively arranged, relieving the
teacher from the work of selecting music at the music stores for his work, at a
great saving of time and patience to himself, and expense to his pupils.

Conductor of Andover Choral Union, and Superintendant of Music in the Pub-
He Schools of Lawrence and Andover, Mass.

Boston, June j6, 1872.
Messrs. S. Brainard's Sons: —

Gentlemen :^We have examined with much pleasure the new Cabinet
Organ Method by Mr. Kimball, which you have recently published. So far
as we have the ability to judge, it is most admirably adapted to the require-
ments both of the student and the amateur, and we can with cordiality commend
it to our friends. Very truly vours.

MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.

New York, June 14, 1C72.
Messrs. S. Brainard's Sons:—

Gentlemen ; — We hail with pleasure the issue of a method for the Reed
Organ so thorough and comprehensive, yet so concise, as that of Mr Kimball,
a copy of which you have kindly sent us. We have only admiration to express
for the careful minuteness of its directions, for the clear and judicious arrange-
ment of its matter, and for the handsome and attractive shape in which you
have placed it before the public. Respectfully.

E. P. NEEDHAM & SON.

Boston, June 11, 1872,
Messrs. S. Brainard's Sons:—

Gentlemen :— The copy of "Kimball's New Method for the Reed Organ,"
is received. After a thorough and careful examination of the work, I candidly
say that I am not acquainted with any work of its class that approaches it, both
for pupil and teacher. The selections are judiciously arranged and selected
with unquestionable taste. It will fill a need that has long been felt.

Kimball's Nf'W Method TOR the Reed Organ is the title of a work

cently published by S. Brainard's Sons, Cleveland. O. The author, Mr.

Horace E. Kimball, has already become known in musical circles, through his

"Organ Voluntanes," a book which has been received with unusual favor. In

the present work the pupil is first taught the elements and is led by easy but

rapid stages to a thorough knowledge of the instrument. The work is all it

claims to be, "more systematic, progressive and thorough than any similar

book cxlant. '

Oratorio of Joshua,

BY HANDEL.

Price in Cloth, $1.25; Boards, $1.; Paper, 80 cents; with
liberal discount to Societies for quantities.

For some strange reason, this tine oratorio, equal in power
to many others, has been almost unknown to American sin-
gers. Its recent rendition by the Handel and Haydn Society
of Boston was a success, and it will no doubt, now take its
place among the classical works in constant practice.

People's Chorus Book,

For Conventions, Societies, and Classes.
Price 11. Per Dozen, $9.
An admirable selection of the best Glees and Part Songs.
In glancing over the pages, one is tempted to pronounce it
"the best" Glee Book. That, however is too much to assert,
but it certainly is " as good as the best" of previous publica-
tions. Among the attractive titles may be mentioned, " You
stole my Love," " The Owls," " Chosen one," "Belfry Tower,"
" Silent Night," "Thy praises. Autumn," and ""When Allen
a-Dale went a hunting." Smart, Sullivan, Pinsuti, Macfarren,
Barnby, Gade, and Leslie are a portion of the composers.
The Music is for mixed voices.

The Salutation.

New Book of Sacred Music, by L. O. Emerson. Price §12
per Dozen. $1.38 per single copy.

'^ Salutaris" says the collegian, in commencing his well
conned Latin oration. Prof. Emerson has for some years
united his labors with those of a distinguished Western com-
piler. The result was undoubtedly good, but he now appears
alone, with a sense of greater freedom and ease, and the
present Salutatory ushers in a new and successful era.

The Salutation is a book of about 350 pages. Beginning,
as one usually does, at the end, and allowing the leaves to
slip through the fingers, we first notice a dozen pages packed
with the alwaj's indispensable congregational tunes. Next,
we pause a moment to hum over the few beautiful chants.
Next, in backward order, we come to a mass of new and
choice Anthems, Hymn Anthems, Motets, Sentences and the
like, a very rich collection that will be eagerly sought after
by those needing new opening anthems or "Voluntaries."
Then we begin to encounter the last Psalm Tunes, whose
varied metres always render them favorites with new singers,
and then a multitude of Common, Short and Long metres,
many of which are destined to be the special favorites of
choirs. Still retrograding, we come to the easy new glees
and four-part songs intended for Singing Classes. These
are all attractive and fresh. The whole book connnences
with 50 pages of the " Rudiments," which are clear and suffi-
ciently comprehensive.

This is a meagre synopsis of a fine book, which is expected
to repeat the successes of the "Harp of Judah," "Choral
Tribute," and other works of the same author.

The Encore.

Especially prepared for Singing Classes. By L. O. Emerson.
Price 75 cents.
The ExcoKE is intended as a' successor to the " Song
Monarch," Emerson's "Singing School," and other books of
that character. It is intended to contain all the material, of
all needed varietj', that is needed to instruct and entertain a
singing class.

MUSICAL HINTS n0p^ MILLION.

By KARL MERZ.

No person interested in music can afford to be without this little volume.
It contains advice for the teacher as well as the pupil, and also much valuable
information not to be obtained elsewhere. Mr. Merz's large experience as a
te-icher and author, and his universally acknowledged talent as a writer on
musical subjects remler his *'Hints," as given to the public in this book, of
very great value. Tlie book is issued in octavo form, bound in cloth, and
l^rinted on tinted paper. No musician's library can be considered complete
\.'ithout a copy of the *'Hints,"

A cheap ''Premium Edition" is also published, bound in paper covers —
jirice only 50 cents. Music teachers will find it to their interest to circulate
ihi.i little volume among their pupils. It was written by a teacher of wide
and varied experience, who has here given just such advice or "hints" as every
pupil, parent and teacher should have. Regarding this work," we select the
following

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

Church's "Musical Visitor" says: "We have received from the author a copy of the
"Musical Hints for the Million," by Karl Mcrz. It is .1 neatly printed volume of over two
hundred pages. No one at all musical can open the book at any page without bein^; inter-
ested immediately. The terse, pointed manner in which the ideas are slated, makmg the
f:illacy or folly at which many of these 'hints' are aimed stand out distinctly, at once chains
the interest and points the way to a remedy. The manner in which every hint is given
promin&ivc, is ingenious, the whole book being divided into paragraphs and numbered in
jilain figures."

The "Chicago Alliance" says of this work: "Professor Merz, one of the best and most
widely known music composers, of the Middle States at least, has just published a little
vulume of Musical Hints. The book contains what may be called musical advice and musi-
cal meditations and reveries. It 14 a note book made by a, man who has spent his life among

Of the Musical Hint:;, the "Rushville (Ind.) Republican" remarks: "Being acquainted
with the author of this little volume, we to.>k it up with feelings of peculiar interest, and
with a friendly anxiety which caused us to turn upon it keener criticism than we would have
done to a stranger. In scanning its pages we can see the lineaments of our friend in every
paragraph and every sentence. To us his writings on his peculiar theme alwaj^s seemed
almost inspired, and the little volume before us partakes of the same spirit, possessing much
of deep philosophy, originality, and at the same time a peculiar simplicity of style. The
book is unpretentious, but at the same time v.nluablc. Whoever makes a good book for chil-
dren or learners is a true benefactor. The Ticids of Professor Mcrz will hail with delight

The "Musical Echo" says: "Mr. Karl Merz has at last publUhed his 'Hints fur the
Million' in book form, and we wish to call the attention of our readenWo the volume as being
something that every musical student should have, and all musical people will find it a valu-
able addition to their libraries."

The "Pennsylvania School Journal" says: "This modest little Volume is from the pen
of the editor of liKAiNARDs' Musical World, a professor of music whose numerous com-
positions have made his name familiar as household words in many parts of the West It is
paragraphic ia make-up and replete with variety as to matter — having been compiled mainly
from hundreds of articles written by Professor Mcrz during the past few years, for successive
issues of the montlily above named. The book is c oeclally suggestive to teachers and ama-
teurs, much of it being the result of long expcrienc-' .ts a teacher of music. We know the
author to be an unas-;uming gentleman, no less noted for practical good sense than f.

The "Song Messenger," of Chicago, says: "We have read with much pleasure a little
book just issued from the press of S. Brainard's Sons, Cleveland, viz: 'Musical Hints for the
Million,' by Karl Merz, It contains four hundred and thirty-four paragn^hs, or 'Hints.*
which extend through two hundred and sixteen pages; the design of the work is shown by
the following extracts from the preface: 'We aim to reach amateurs, and even those wlio
know little or nothing about the art. Especially are young and incx-perienced teachers the
objects of our considerations. ♦ * If these Hints create a desire lor further study, for a
deeper penetration into the mysteries of our art: if they are of any practical value to teach-
ers; if they give any one of them higher views of the profession, etc., we shall be satisfied.'
In our opinion, this work is calculated to do the good its author desires. It is evidently the
chronicle of a wide experience, and has earnest and kindly reflections thereon. _ The field,
ot Mr. Merz's e.\penence has, we judge, been that of the great nmjority of music teachers,
r.ither than of the few who frequent the higher walks of instruction. Constantly under his
eye have been the girl who wants "pieces with some tune to them,' the young man wh*
wants to learn 'harmony in six lessons,' and their fellows. Instead of allowing his teachmg
to settle — as it does in the great majority of cases — into a hum-drum, ambitlonlcss routine,
our author has brought the mind of a phllospher to bear upon it even to the least interesting
details, hence is especially well prepared to write words of the widest practical usefulness.
The first paragraph tells the unltiaied about the care of pianos, and good-naturedly descend*
to particulars adapted even to such primitive states as that which was described in the 'Song
Messenger' some years ago, where a lady was dissatisfied with the tuning of her piano be*
cause she could not play the scale of G without having to strike a black key. One of Mr.
Merz's aphorisms especi.-illy dcser\'es to be perpetuated. It is : 'It requires but one goose to
set all to screaming. Often it takes but cne pair of hands to make an audience applaud.'
What a sharp setting forth it is of a concert-room scene, with which we are too familiar.^ We
are glad to notice the several strong picas for musical instruction in schools contained in tho
bsok, although it is the most natural plea in the world for an earnest musician to put forth,
and is a matter of course In a book by such an author." ^

THE MYSTERIOUS ORGANIST.

A LEGEND OP THE IMUXE.

Years ago, at a grand old cathetlral
overluokiiig the Rhine, there appeared a
mysterious (ir<)anist. Tliegreat composer
who had ])layed the organ so long had
suddenly died, and everybody, from the
king to the peasant, was wondering who
could be found to fill his place, when,
one bright Sabbath morn, as the sexton
entered the church, he saw a stranger
sitting at the crajie-shrouded organ. He
was a tall, gracefid man, with a palp but
strikingly handsome face, great black,
melancholy eyes, and hair like the raven's
wing for gloss and color, sweeping in
dark waves over his shoulders. He did
not seem to notice the sexton, but went
on playing, and such music as he drew
from the instrument no words of mine
can describe. The astonished listener
declared that the organ seemed to have
grown human — that it wailed and sighed,
and clamored, as if a tortured hum.an
heart were throbbing through its pipes.

When the music at length ceased, the
sexton hastened to the stranger and said:
" Pray, who are you, sir ?"

"Do not ask my name," he replied.
" I have heard that you are in want of an
organist, and have come here on trial."

•' You'll be sure to get the place," ex-
claimed the sexton. " Why, you surpass
him that's dead and gone, sir!"

"No, no; you overrate me," resumed
the stranger, with a sad smile; and then,
as if disinclined to conversation, he turned
from old Hans, and began to play again.
And now the music changed from a
sorrowful strain to a grand pa;n, and the
mysterious organist —

" Looking upwards full of grace.
Prayed till from a happy place,
("lort's glory pmote liim in the fai-e.*'

and his countenance seemed not unlike
that of St. Michael, as portrayed by
Guido.

Lost in the harmonies which swelled
around him, he sat with his " far-seeing"
gaze fixed on the distant sky, a glimpse
of which he caught through an open
window, when there was a stir about the
church, and the royal party came sweep-
ing in. Among them might be seen a
young girl, with a wreath of golden hair,
eyes like the violet's hue, and lips like
wild cherries. This was the princess

Elizabeth; all ej'es were turned to her,
as she seated herself in the velvet cush-
ioned pew appropriated to the court.
The mysterious organist fixed his gaze
upon her and went on playing. No
sooner had the music reached her oars,
tlian she started, as if a ghost had crossed
her path. The bloom faded from her
cheek, her lips quivered, and her whole
frame grew tremulous. At last her eyes
met those of the organist, in a long,
yearning look, and the melody lost its
joyous notes and once more wailed, and
sighed, and clamored.

" B}' my faith," whispered the king to
his daughter, "this organist has a master
hand. Hark ye, he shall play at yovir
wedding!"

The pale lips of the princess parted,
but she could not speak — she was dumb
with grief. Like one in a jDainful dream,
she saw the pale man at the organ, and
heard the melody which filled the vast
edifice. Ay, full well she know who he
was, and why the instrument seemed
breathing out the agony of a tortured
heart.

When the service was over, and the
royal party had left the cathedral, he
stole away as mysteriously as he had
come. He was not seen again by the
sexton till the vesper hour, and then he
appeared in the organ loft, and com-
menced his task. While he played, a
veiled figure glided in and knelt near a
side shrine. There she remained till the
worshipers dispersed, when the sexton
touched her on the shoulder and said:

" Madame, everybody has gone but
you and me, and I wish to close the
doors."

" I am not read)' to go yet," was the
reply; "leave me — leave me!"

The sexton drew back into a shady
niche, and watched and listened. The
mystei-ious organist still kept his post,
Ijut his head was bowed upon the instru-
ment, and he could not see the lone
devotee. x\t length she rose from the
aisle, and moving tothe organ loft, paused
beside the musician.

"Bertram," she murmured.

Quick as thought the organist raised
his head. There, with the light of a lamp
suspended to the arch above falling full
upon her, stood the princess who had
graced the royal pew that day. The
court dress of velvet, with its soft ermine
trimmings, the tiara, the necklace, the
bracelets, had been exchanged for a gray

serge robe and a long thick veil, which
was now pushed back from the fair girl-
ish face.

"Oh! Elizabeth, Elizabeth!" exclaimed
the organist, and he sunk at her feet, aiul
gazed wistfully into her troubled eyes.

"Why are you here, Bertram ?" askecl
the princess.

"I came to bid you farewell; and as J
dared not venture into the palace, 1
gained access tothe cathedral by lirilnng
the bell ringer, and having taken the
vacant seat of the dead organist, let my
music breathe out the adieu I could not
trust my lips to utter."

A low moan was the only answer, and
he continued:

" You are to be married on the
morrow ?"

" Yes," sobbed the girl. " Oh, Ber-
tram, what a trial it will be to stand at
yonder altar, and take upon me the vows
which will doom me to a living death!"

" Think of me," rejoined the organist.
" Your royal father has requested me to
play at the wedding, and I have promised
to be here. If I were your equal, I could
be the bridegroom instead of the organist ;
but a poor musician must give you up."

" It is like rending soul and body
asunder, to part with you," said the girl.
"To-night I may tell you this — tell you
how fondly I love you, but in a few hours
it will be a sin! Go, go, and God bless
you."

She waved him from her, as if she
would banish him while she had the power
to do so, and he — how was it with him V
He rose to leave her, then came back,
held her to his heart in a long embrace,
and with a half smothered farewell left
her.

The next morning dawned in cloudless
splendor, and at an early hour the cathe-
dral was thrown open and the sexton
began to prepare for the wedding.
Flame-colored flowers nodded by the
wayside — flame-colored leaves came rush-
ing down from the trees and lay in light
heaps upon the ground; and the ripe
wheat waved like a golden sea, and ber-
ries drooped in red and purple clusters
over the rocks along the Rhine.

At length the palace gates were opened,
and the royal party appeared, escorting
the Princess Elizabeth to the cathedral,
where her marriage was to be solemnized.
It was a bravo pageant; far brighter
than the entwined foliage and blossoms
were the tufts of plumes which floatdl

from stately heads, and the festal robes
that streamed down over liousings of the
superb steeds. But the princess, moun-
ted on a snow-white palfrey, and clad in
snow-white velvet, looked pale and sad;
and when, on nearing the church, she
heard a gush of organ music, which,
though jubilant in sound, struck on her
ear like a funeral knell, she trembled,
and would have fallen to the earth had
not a page supported her. A few
moments afterwards she entered the
cathedral. There, with his retinue, stood
the royal bridegroom, whom she had
never before seen. But her glance roved
from him to the organ loft, where she
had expected to see the mysterious or-
ganist. He was gone, and she was
obliged to return the graceful bow of the
king, to whom she had been betrothed
from motives of policy. Mechanieally
she knelt at his side on the altar-stone;
mechanically listened to the service and
made the responses. Then her husband
drew her to him in a convulsive embrace
and whispered:

"Elizabeth, my queen, my wife,
look up!"

Trembling in every limb, she obeyed.
Why did those dark eyes thrill her so 'i
^Vhy did that smile brmg a glow on her
check"? Ah! though the king wore the
royal purple, and many a jeweled order
glittered on his breast, he seemed the
same humble person who had been em-
ployed to teach organ music, and had
tauglit her the lore of love.

"Elizabeth," murmured the monarch,
"Bertram Hoffman, the mysterious or-
ganist, and King Oscar are one. Forgive
my stratagem. I wished to marry you,
but I would not drag to the altar an un-
willing bride. Your father was in the
secret."

"VMiile tears of joy rained from her blue
eves, the new made queen returned her
husband's fond kiss, and for once two

A certain judge having been called on
at a public meeting for a song, regretted
that it was not in his power to gratify
the company, though he believed that
numliers had been transported by his
voice.

A SELL ON OFFENBACH.

Tlie distinguished author of tho "Grand
Duchess" has hardly bowing acquaintance
with the Knglish language, and this want
of knowledge of our language made him the
victim of a gentle sell a few days since. It
seems he ran over from New York unatten-
ded to have a peep at the new garden in
Philadelphia which has been named after
him. On the ears he met a European acfj-
uaintauce, Mr. Howard Paul, who is over
here industriously exploring tho Centenial.
On the line of route from Jersey City the
meastro observed on every fence, barn, rock,
and "coign of vantage" the words "Gargling
Oil." It encountered his gaze in every form
of type, from si-x-feet letters downwards.

"Mon Bicii!" exclaimed Offenbach, "vat
is zat words I see ev'ryvere? Zat I know
not how you say zis," pointing.
"Oh! that's 'Gargling Oil."
"Ah! vat a fortune to mako zoso vords
every vere. Vat is it?' '

"That? Oh! that's the name of the new
great hotel erected in Philadelphia to accom-
modate the visitors fo the Centennial, "replied
Howard Paul, with a wicked smile.

I vill go zare," returned Offenbach, and,
producing hisnoto book, inscribed tho words
therein with great care. "Vat a curieux
name for one grond hotel. Zese Yankee-
spangled ban-nare people are more exeen-
trique zan ze English."

When the master of opera-bouffe arrived at
the Philadelphia depot he entered the first
hack he encountered.

"Where to?" asked the jarvoy, banging
the door.

"Goggle Oil Hotel."
• 'Sir?"

"Gurgle Ho Hotel," said Offcnljach, trj-ing
again.

"Where tho devil is that? There's a mighty
lot of new houses open lately, but I haven't
heard of that one," said the haekman.
"Here, Jake," he cried to a companion whip;
"here's a foreign gent wants to go to the
Goggle-eyed Hotel, or somethmg of that sort.
He's got the name wrong, I guess."
By this time four or five haekman got
around and began to grin at the misconcep-
tion that had arisen. The maestro, like all
men of genius, is u-ritable, and shouted:

"Stupides! Gaggle Oil Ho-tel Mon Dicu]
am I to stop all day in zis machine?" and,
whipping out his note-book, he exhibited it
to tho group. Tliere it was written plainly
enough— "Gargling Oil."

"Mounsccr," exclaimed tlie man, "that's
tlm name of a patent mi^dicinc, not a hotel;
yi>u've got things mixed."

lint OU'onbach ccnild not in tho least degree
comprehend the inelegant diction of the
drivers, and, annoyed at tlieir brusque mirth,
he leupod from the carriage and made his
way towards tho stroet-cars, under tho imp-
ression that tlie hacknion were ha\ins a

game with him. As he left the depot his
amiable secretary, M. Arrigotti, who had
preceded him the night before, appeared
upon the scene and carried him otl' in triumph
to the Centennial. — Graphic.

EXPERIENCES OF THE SULTAN'S PIANIST.

La Liberie announces among its musical
items the arrival in Paris of one Donizetti, pro-
f esor of piano music to the late Sultan Abdul
Aziz, through whose death the musician has
lost his situation. Donizetti, who, it appears
is a nephew of the author of "Favorita,"
describes his experience thus: "Y''ou are
summoned at 8 o'clock in the morning to
plaj' for three hours. Y'ou must be in full
uniform; you wait for seven hours in an ele-
gant gallery where you are forbidden to sit
down. From time to time they come to tell
you what is going on in His Majesty's apart-
ments. 'His Higlmess is going to arise.'
The moment you hear this you must pros-
trate yourself. 'His Highness is going to the
bath.' Again you prostrate yourself. 'His
Highness is dressing.' You postrate your-
self lower than over. And so the intelli-
gence continues, until you are wearied be-
yond endurance, and the Sultan is finally
ready. Then an immense grand piano is
brought in without its legs, for the floor of
the gallery is a precious mosaic of the rarest
woods, and must not bear the weight of a
piano even. The immense instrument is
placed on the backs of five wretched Turks
suitably placed on their hands and knees.
'But,' say you, 'I can not play on a five Turk
piano. Supposing you complain that the
instrument is not level, they carefully place
a cus'hion under the knees of the smallest
Turk and tell you to proceed, without sus-
pecting the sentiment of humanity that has
occasioned the delay. The Sultan appears,
and, after all manner of prostrations, you
ask for a chair. There is none; no one over
sits in the presence of the Sultan. You pro-
test you cannot play unless you sit, and the
Sultan finally orders a chair to be produced.
Y'ou play for an hour or so, and after the
Sultan has watched the effect on his followers
until he is weary, ho rudely thrusts you
aside and takes your place. Tho eunuchs
and the rest awake and applaud his discords
with rapturous exclamations, and after ho
has amused himself thus until ho is satisfied
of the superiority of his music over yours,
you are dismissed. And this it is to be a
pianist to a Sultan."

The longer I live the more I am certain
that the great difference between men— be-
tween tho fcoblo and tlie powi^rful, tho great
anil tho insignificant — is oncrgy; invincible
determination; a purpose once fixed, and
then death or victory! That quality will do
anything that can bo done in this world; and
no talents, no circumstances, no opportun-
ities, will mako u two-legged creature a man

Si.Ms Reeves ojj Vocal Stimulants. —
Dr. Lennox Brown, surgeon to the Royal
Society of Musicians and to Her Majesty's
Italian Opera, delivered a lecture recently
liofore one of tlie leading musical associations,
on " Medical Science in Relation to the Voice
as a Musical Instrument." Dr. Brown prints
his lecture, and with it an extract from a
letter to him l)y Reeves, tlie great Englisli
tenor, from w^hicli we quote the following:

It is impossible to say how much mischief
has been done by the absurd accounts of the
variety of beverages indispensable to our for-
mer great singers. Whatever may have been
the practice in the past, such notions as that
the drinlcing of so many bottles of beer or
stout per evening will give voice, are as obso-
lete as, I am happy to say, as the idea that
no man is a hospitable gentleman who allows
his guests to go home sober. By long expe-
rience I find it much better to do without
them entirely. A glycerine lozenge is pre-
ferable; on very rare occasions a small
quantity of claret and water may be nec-
essary, but all alcoholic stimulants are
detrimental. I formerly, and for many
years, used beef tea, but that was too lieavy.
If one could limit one's self to a tablespoonful
at a time, the latter might be the best, but a
large draught clogs the throat, and produces
the desire to swallow often.

Youth.- -He who wastes his youth beggars
himself for life. Youth is the time to store
the intellect with knowledge, and whoever
fails to lay the foundation for scientific and
literary attainments then, if he has the oppor-
tunity, is never likely to do so ; or, sliould
he attempt it, he can never make up the loss
from early negligence. Youth is the time to
form a virtuous character. The mind is tlien
open ; the heart is receptive ; all the affec-
tions are in a plastic state to be moulded Ijy
the influences of lieavon and earth, given liy
divine providence to elevate and save ; and
whoever does not then lay up the " rewards,"
through which God may be present in tlie
inmost of man, is not likely to do so after-
ward, or attempting it, would come far sliort
of what it is his privilege to become.

CLIPS AND CHIPS.

The man who had a project on foot
went to a corn doctor.

What the river said to the shower —
"Thou rainest in this bosom!"

If knee-breeches come in fashion the
biggest calf will look best.

A tie vote — When both parties say
yes. and the preacher ties the knot.

An exchange suggests that bees are
merchants because they cell their honey.

A Polish dancing-master committed
suicide in Erie, Pa., the other day. Ho

Ado.

Are your words of more weight v\hen
you YiTopound anything than when yon
annoictice it ?

Why is a fast black horse like a certain
preparation of india-rubber ? — Because it
is an inky-racer.

"Thou art so near and yet so fur,'
said the maiden, as she hugg?d her seal-
skin cloak about her.

" Thanks," he said sadly, " of course
it's very kind of you to wish me a merry
Christmas; but then you know I'm mar-
ried."

Circumstances alter cases. There are
times when things are not themselves
any more than men are. A tooth is not
a tooth when it is a-king.

"All is wanity," remarked a tin ware
peddler the other day. " What's life to
me, anyhow, but holler and tin-sell ?"

At an examination of girls for the rite
of confirmation in the Episcopal church,
in answer to the question, " What is the
outward visible sign or form in baptism?"
the reply of a bright little tlieologian
was, " The baby, sir."

An original neighbor of Kip Van Win-
kle was said to be so lazy that when he
went to hoe corn he worked so slowly
that the shade of his broad-brinnned hat
killed the plants.

A young clergyman ventured to diifer
with an old doctor of divinity as to the
propriety of whipping children. "Why,"
said he, the only time my father whipped
me was for telling the truth." " Well,"
retorted the doctor, " it cured you of it,
didn't it ?"

A Detroiter had his hair cut the other
day, and after the barber had finished,
the head was the worst looking job ever
turned out in Detroit. The man was
hopping mad as he looked into the glass,
and he roared out: "Why, you blamed
fool, you don't know anything about hair
cutting." "Dat's so, boss," said the
owner of the shop, coming forward. " I
told him to take your head to learn on,
but it don't 'pear to me dat he'll ever
make much of a. barber!"

For the Musical Review.
MUSIC.

Music is indisputably the art which brings
to light the strongest passions, the deepest
feelings, the liveliest hopes of the human
soul; and every sentiment can bo plainly
portrayed through tlio subtle influence of
melody. The culture of this Heaven-born
gift refines tlie mind, and brings it in sym-
pathy witli all that is noble and exalted; and
it is not strange that so many of those whom
Nature has endowed with superior minds,
should intuitively seek through music the
expression of their aspirations and desires.
Those whose poetic souls have charmed
us with harmonious verse, have often caught
their inspiration from some melodious song
which has cheered the weary spirit.

Music is the mediator between tlie spiri-
tual and the sensual life. The love of the
beautiful is inherent m human nature, and
music is its chief exponent. The haughty
and the lowly alike feel its power, and con-
rticting ideas are reconciled in a common
sympathy, through such touching melodies
as 'Home, Sweet Home.' Tlie culture of mu-
sic is appropriate above all to the family
circle, and its happy influence upon the
character in childhood cannot be estimated.
Instrumental music is but a secondary and
sustaining force to tlie human voice, which
represents the harmony of the human soul,
that grandest of instruments; that source of
all musical expression. Fortunate are they
whose souls are ever attuned to the harmo-
nies of the universe, and whose daily lives
are in unison with tlieir highest convictions
of right!
Portland, Or. Willamette.

Do the Right Thing.— Whenever you
are in doubt which of two things to do, let
your decision be for that which is right.
Do not waver, do not parley; but sfjuare up
to the mark and to the right thing. Boy !
when you divide that apple with your little
sister, be careful not to keep the largest half
yourself. Young man ! don't sneak out of
the basement door because you want to
escape your father's eye. Madam ! let not
the most trifling deceit pass current in those
little acts which make the sum of your life.
No matter who you are, what your lot, or
where you live, you cannot attbrd to do that
which is wrong. The only way to oljtain
happiness and pleasure yourself is to do the
right thing. You may not always hit the
mark, but you should nevertheless aim at
it, and with every trial your skill will inc-
rease. Whether you are to be praised or
blamed for it by others; whether it will seem-
ingly make you riclicr or poorer, or whe-
ther no other person tliau yourself knows
of your action, still, always, and in all cases
do the right thing. Y'our first lesson in this
will grow easier, until finally doing the right
thing wUl become a habit, and to do a wrong
thing will seem an absolute impossibUity.

GRAND TRIUMPH

Following is a copy of a telegram received by
Sherman & Hyde, San Francisco:

NEW YORK. Sept. 29, 1876.— Received the
highest award for sympathetic, pure, and rich
tone, combined with greatest power, as shown
in the three styles-Grand, Square, and Upright
Pianos— which show intelligence and solidity in
their construction, a pliant and easy touch,
which at the same time answers promptly to its
requirements, together with excellence of
workmanship.

A. WEBER.

THE WEBER PIANOS.

In order to realize the extent of the splendid
triumph of the Weber Pianos, at the Centennial
Exposition, it must be remembered that over forty
of the leading piano manufacturers of Europe and
America were represented, who displayed their
best instruments, and a full and careful trial of
their merits was had by a committee of eleven
distinguished musicians. Upon a vote of the
committee only two instruments were recognized
as being superior, viz : the Weber and the Stein-
way, and the Weber received six votes, and the
Steinway five. Both pianos were, therefore,
awarded premiums, the Weber being preferred
by the majority of the Committee.

The success of the Weber is the more significant,
as it is well-known that Mr. Weber has disdained
to use money for the purchase of good opinions
in any quarter, preferring to rely wholly upon the
intrinsic merit of his pianos. It has been for
some time apparent that a large majority of our
leading artists, both vocal and instrumental, have
preferred the Weber to all other instruments.
We find such artists as Nilsson, Kellogg, Patti,
Lucca, Carv and Mills, not only using his piano,
but voluntarily giving their certificates to its
superiority.

In New York Cit}-, where the Weber and
Steinway Pianos are both manufactured, the retail
trade in the Weber has, for some years, been
largely in the ascendant. Only twenty years ago,
Albert Weber commenced business in a small
waj-, but his pianos were so singularlj- pure, sweet
and brilliant in tone, that his trade has wonder-
fully increased, compelling the successive erection
of new buildings, until his immense manufactory
on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Seventeenth
Street is barelj- adequate to the demand from all
parts of the globe.

On this coast the success of these pianos has
been no less gratifying, and their sale has increased
in a much more rapid ratio, here, as well as else-
where, than those of other makers, until it is an
established fact that there are twice as many
W eber Pianos sold on tiie Pacific Coast as of any
other first-class manufacturer; and we now find
them used in nearly every concert of anj- note in
San Francisco. Having some years since become
identified with these famous pianos, we naturally
feel a pride in their success; and as to their merits,
we can refer not only to the Centennial jury, but
to every purchaser of them on this coast.

SHERMAN & HYDE'S MUSICAL REVIEW,
San Francisco, Cal.

CIRCULATION, 5,000.

THE STANDARD ORGAN.

CKNTKXXIAL AWAKD.

The following- telegram has been
received.

New York, Sept. 28, 187G.
Sherman & Hyde, San Francisco.

Diploma of Honor and Medal of Award,
given to the Standard Organ.

Peloubet, Pelton & Co.

This just recognition at the Centen-
nial E.vposition, of the merits of the
Standard Organ, is most gratifying. In
the large trade we have had for these
instnniients on this coast, we have heard
I'vorvwliere an e.\pression of universal
satisfaction, and the demand for them is
steadily increasing.

The various styles are severally
adapted to churches, halls, and families,
and new and beautiful stops have
recently been introduced, giving the
Standard organ a just prominence over
alU others.

"THE WHIPPOORWILL,"

Song book for public shool.s and juvenile
classes. By W. O. Perkins. We have
received from Oliver Ditson tt f!o., their
latest school song book, which bids fair to
l3e as popular as the others. Mr. Perkins
still adheres to the agreeable fashion of
naming his books from birds. On the cover
we have a tine view of the bird flying by
moonlight, and children rushing out into
the garden to get a view of the favorite
songster. The book contains a good
elementary course, with 120 exercises, many
of which are in tune forms, and have words.
Our music teachers and compilers of books
have learned what some educators are slow
in understanding, that it is possible to make
study interesting without detracting from
its thoroughness.

MRS. MINNIE READE.
We have heretofore referred to this
talented American lady, whose success as an
operatic singer, in Italy and Turkey, has
been so markeij, and whose voice has been
described by the foreign journals, as
exquisitely pure, sweet and sympathetic
The touching romance of her life has recently
been told by the Bulletin of this city, from
which we copy :

More than a year ago the Bulletin publish-
ed under the heading of a "Charming
Romance" one of the truest stories of wortliy
love and laudable ambition ever told.
Briefly related the facts were these; Lieut.
Philip Reade, a youngariny officer, heard in
a Topeka churcli choir a voice so sweet and
musical, so tenderly .sympathetic, that his
soul was touched to know more of the sweet
singer. He sought her acquaintance, was
introduced, and found a young ladj'
struggling against the hardships of pecuniary
misfortune to make headway. She was
ambitious to go abroad and .study under
great masters in the foreign lands of poetry
and .song. Her genius, her aspiration, and
more than all, the nobility of her character
and her modest worth, found ready
admiration in the mind of the young ofHcer.
He made the cause his own, and so readily
responded to every aspiration of her young
life, that he pledged his own fortune to
enaljle her to go to Italy and there flnish her
musical education in the best schools of
Florence and Milan. Poor in purse but
rich in womanly pride, slie declined to
accept the gift of so much money alone and
with the aid of money earnded in local
concerts and private tuition, she visited
Boston and fnrther progressed toward the
fame which she longed to achieve. Her
refusal to accept money increased rather
tham diminished the young ofHcer's regard
for her, and he renewed the offer of aid to
Minnie Beals, for such was her name, with
a proposal of marriage. They were marrie<l
in New York one morning more than four
years ago. At noon on the wedding day
the bride sailed for Italy and the husband
started for Arizona, where he had heen
ordered on military duty. Frequent letters
brought him tidings of her success. Her
voice was like a " string of pearls," .said one
renowned impessario. Time wore on and
she made her debut in the finest theatre of
Florence to a dense assemblage of music
lovers. Fortune seemed to smile, and she
secured an engagement to sing in the leading
theatres of Europe. Her singing in Cons-
tantinople elicited the highest praise from
the press and the populace.

Duriug the past year every letter
exchanged between the two referred to the
happiness reserved for the reunion. Tlie
aim of their lives seemed to have been
realized, and they had by common consent
centered every hope and thought in expected
enjopment of what had been ebtained at the
cost of so many sacriflces and the peril of so
many adverse chances. Siie had fixed the
date of her departure from Italy next
November. Fate fixed it otherwise. A
single sentence from a strong man utterly
crushed and broken down, concludes the
story :

San Dieoo, Cal., September 5, 187G.

Minnie Reade died August 24th.

Philip RE.\r>E.

Mrs. Reade died in Paris. Lieut. Reade
has been stationed on tlie southern border
for over a year, in charge of the Military
Telegraph construction party, and is at
present in San Diego.

MUSIC AT HOME.

Mr. Man.sfeldt's Concert. — A piano
forte recital, with orchestral accompaniment
was given liy Mr. Hugo L. Mansfeldt, at
Piatt's Hall, on the 2(5th ult. This was an
invitation concert, and the hall was crowded.
An elaborate programme of superior
selections was performed. The orchestra
was under the direction of Mr. Gustav
Hinrichs; Mr. Mansfeldt played, on the
Weber Grand Piano, Rubinstein's fourth
Concerto in D minor, and RalTs grand
Concerto, dedicated to Von Bulow; also
Mayer's "Adagio Expressive," Schubert's
"Barcarole," Lizst's " Gnomenreigen," the
"Cradle Song," Schuman's " Fruhlings-
nachl," Mason's " Silver Sping," Schubert's
"Erlking," Lizst's "Ave Maria," and
AVeber's " Rondo Presto." The quintette
for piano, hautbois, clarionet, horn and
bassoon, and the overture " Ruy Bias," by
the orchestra, completed thi.s excellent
programme. The audience Avere very
appreciative, listened remarkably well, and
testified their enjoyment by frequent
applause. We trust Mr. Mansfeldt may
give us future concerts of the same superior
character.

Autumnal Praise Skrvice.— On the 1st.
inst., at the First Congregational Church,
Rev. Dr. A. L. Stone, Pastor, the regular
quarterly praise service was given. The al-
ternation of choir and congregation, in sing-
ing, was very happily arranged. The con-
gregation were accompanied by the organ
and four brass in.struments, and gave the fa-
miliar tunes, " Old Hundred," " Greenville,"
"Dundee," "Nuremberg," "Webb." and
"America." The immense congregation
sang with spirit, and we never heard "Amer-
ica" given with more enthusiasm. This soci-
ety has been favored in having as the so-
prano of their choir, Mrs. I^izzie P. Howell,
who is noted for the power and brilliancy of
her execution ; and they are now equally
fortunate in securing the services of Mrs.
Annie E. Stetson as contralto. The otl'ertor-
ium, by Andre, " Crown his head with
endless blessing" was sung as a solo, by Mrs.
Stetson, with violin and organ accompani-
ments by Mr. J. W. Yarndley and Mr. Sam-
uel D. Mayer, with such unusual clearness
of tone and beauty of expression, as to charm
the audience. ' Te Deuni Laudamus,"
arranged from Mendelssolm, comprised a
line duet by Mrs. Howell and Mr. Mayer,
and solos by them and also by Mrs.
Stetson and Mr. Yarndlej-. " Praise ye
the Lord," by Samuel .Jai^kson, inclnded
solos by each of the quartette, and "Obe
joyful in the Lord," Iry- Geo. AVm. AVarren,
was sung by the choir, with solo by Mrs.
Stetson. ■ "O worship the Lord," by
Conooni, and " God is a spirit," bySterndale
Bennett, completed the lino i>rogrnmmo
which was admirably given throughout.
Rev. Dr. Stone made a few remarks appro-
priate to the season and tlus service.

Musical Soiree. — A very pleasant social
and musical reception and soiree, was given
on the 28th ult., to invited guests, by Capt.
and Mrs. W. E. Bushnell, at their residence.
No. 317 Mason Street. Tbeso'ree was well
attended, and among the musical peojile
present, several ladies and gentlemen favor-
ed the guests witli vocal and instrumental
selections. The following programme was
presented: Overture, original, Mr. S. H.
Marsh; Song, "Today," Mrs. Kate E. Kend-
riek; Piano solo, Mendelssohn's " Capric-
cio," Mr. S. M. Fabian; Song, "The winds
that waft my sighs to thee," Mr. J. C. Wil-
liams; Violin solo, "Traumerei," Mr. Thos.
J. DutTy; Piano duet, "Don't Blush Polka,"
Miss Lena Hoffman and Mr. C. S. Hoft'man;
Song, "Alice," Miss Marie Withrow; Piano
solo, "Norma," Mr. S.M. Fabian; Song,
"The Grave on the Hearth," Mrs. Kate E.
Kendrick ; Quartette, "Sweet and Low,"
Misses Marie Withrow and S. A. Rightmire,
Messrs. Frank B. Myers and Harry Car-
penter. The participants seemed inspired
by the social enjoyment of the occasion, and
their singing and playing were alike ani-
mated and expressive, and showed superior
culture; while no performers ever had more
attentive or appreciative listeners. The guests
next adjourned to the dining room, where
refreshments were served, after which they
returned to the spacious parlors and indulged
in dancing till a late hour. A general expres-
sion of satisfaction with the hospitality of
Capt. and Mrs. Bushnell was heard, and the
soiree was considered more pleasurable than
a public concert. On the following evening,
a party of gentlemen, comprising, Mr. C. A.
Howland, Mr. W. Y, Barnett, Mr. .Joseph
L. Ross, Mr. Thos. J. Duffy, and Mr. John
Mackensie, most of whom had been unable
to be present at the soiree, favored the host
and hostess with a serenade, and were invited
in and entertained with a collation.

Mr. H. Forti's Concert. — At Piatt's
Hall, on the 3rd. inst., Mr. H. Forti gave a
concert, assisted by some of the leading
artists of the city. Mr. Forti's .solo,
Kucken's "Serenade," wasexceedingly well
rendered. Mr. Theodore Habelmann was in
tine voice, and gave two songs with his usual
purity of intonation. Madame Fabbri also
appeared in two numbers, and sang with
spirit, ".Si tu savais" being brilliantly
executed. The instrumental part of the
programme was equal in merit. Mr. Franz
Fuch's cornet solo, and Mr. Gustav Hinrichs'
clarionet solo were each very finely
performed, and well received. The tremolo
for violin was given in good style, by Mr.
Blanchard. The San Francisco Maenner-
chor, a singing society of considerable
practice, gave three excellent choruses, one
with baritone solo, and the others with
quartette solos. The concert was one of
suporiorexcellence, and was well attended.

Miss Petrarchi's Concert. — A compli-
mentary benefit was tendered to Miss
Victoria Petrarchi, by her friends, on the
1st inst., at Pacific Hall, and an elaborate
programme was presented, under the able
direction of Prof. H. C. Seib, who accom-
panied the vocalists on the Weber piano.
The beneficiary appeared in live numbers,
and her fine vocal efforts were greeted with
applause and floral offerings. The gem of
the evening was Miss Petrarchi's " Linda di
Chamounix," which was sung with superior
expression. Next in merit was the duet
" Qual mare, qual terra," by Miss Petrarchi
and Jlr. Julius Stein, which was very well
executed. The cavatina " Regnava del
silenzio," by Miss Petrarchi, "Una voce
poca fa,'" by Miss Stella Bickle, "None
ver," by Mr. Julius Stein, and "Ah fors
e'lui," by Mrs. Belle Jelisen, were worthy
of special mention. Other selections were
given by the same parties, and by Messrs.
Charles Charruau and Lawrence Hartnett,
and the concert was quite a success.

Concert at Benicia. — The second concert
of the Benicia series, under the direction of
Messrs. H. L. Mansfeldt and Gustav
Hinrichs, took place on Friday evening,
2nth. ult., and was more enjoyable even than
the previous one. The presence of Madame
Ines Fabbri and Mr. Jacob MuUer was, of
couse, a prominent attraction of the evening,
and afforded our community the rare chance
of hearing good vocal music. Your readers
are well aware of Mme. Fabbri's line execu-
tion as a prima donna. Her rendition of
" Mein Lied" and the Fabbri Waltz was
thoroughly appreciated; the former was
rendered with a gracefulness and the latter
with a spirit which were refreshing. Mr.
Muller was in splendid voice, and in " Non
e ver," brought our souls at onceen rapijort.
The Serenade was enjoyed immensely.
Jlessi-s. Mansfeldt and Hinrichs were thor-
oughlyat home in their duets, and executed
their part of the programme remarkably well.
We were never before so entirely struck
with the correspondence necessary between
the artist and the audience, that subtle
magnetism which emanates from the listener
to the performer. The solos and the duets
by Mr. Mansfeldt 's pupils were far above
the average, the tempo and expression were
both unusual from learners, and reflect the
greatest credit on their teacher. It is
universally conceded that our Young Ladies
Seminary has been most fortunate in the
selection of musical professors.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.

Ijast evening a musical reception was
given by Slierman it Hyde, Kearny street,
on the occasion of opening their new piano
and music ware-rooms. At eight o'clock
the guests began to arrive, and when the
company liad assembled in the reception-
hall there were about COO present. Nearly
all the musical profession of note in San
Francisco and Oal<land had volunteered to
render the occasion a success, among whom
were Miss Dillaye, Sillie Howard, Jacob
Muller, and Messrs. Mancusi, Borneman,
Campbell and many others. Tlie guests
were conveyed by an elevator to the recep-
tion-room, on the third floor, where sitting
accommodation had been provided for them.
This hall is beautifully frescoed, and was
tastefully set oft' for the occasion witli ever-
greens and floral decorations.

Here a most enjoyable evening was spent.
As, however, the programme was only about
half through at 11:30 p. m., the management
deemed it better to omit the remainder than
to prolong the pleasure indefinitely, more
especially as an elegant supper had been
prepared, to which the guests did ample
justice. Supper was spread in the basement
floor, with flowers. Never before in any
entertainment in this city has such an array
of musical talent appeared, a fact which
must be regarded in tlie light of a gi'eat com-
pliment to Sherman & Hj'de. The whole
affair passed oft' in the most agreeable man-
ner, every one appearing deliglited with the
friendly social intercourse and musical treat
in which they had participated, to say noth-
ing of Sherman A Hyde's generous hospita-
lity.

The new wareroom and concert hall is
something of which this firm should be
proud. Heretofore San Francisco has had
no hall suitable for small musical gather,
ings, but Sherman A Hyde's enterprise has
now supplied this long-felt want. No more
suitable place for such a purpose could be
found than this concert hall, as the experien-
ce of last evening abundantly proved. Its
acoustic properties cannot be excelled, and
its central position renders it easy of access
from every part of the city. In the base-
ment story, which was used as a supper-
room last night, Slierman tt Hyde liave their
heavier goods stored, and one section is set
apart for their printing office, from whlcli
the Musical Review, a well-known publica-

tion, is issued. An elevator communicates
from the basement to the various floors in
the building, all of wliich, except the second,
is occupied with the business departments of
the firm. Their music wareroom holds over
100 pianos.

Six years ago Sherman & Hyde started
business in a small store on the same corner
which they now occupy. By steady appli-
tion to business, their trade increased rapid-
ly, until its requirements demanded the
extensive premises just opened by tliem in
the very agreeable manner already noted.
Their trade is now immense, their pianos and
organs being sold all the way from Victoria,
Vancouver Island, to San Uiego. Slierman
ifc Hyde have agencies in all the principal
cities and towns on the Pacific slope. It is
much to develop a musical taste, and their
reception last evening proves that they
enjoy the friendship and goodwill of the
profession.

A MUSICAL EVENT.

Last evening was tlie occasion of a grand
musical opening at the store of Messrs Sher-
man it Hyde on Kearny street. The tune-
less individual who might have paused
before the closely curtained windows in the
early evening would not have known, unless
he had been told, that anything extraordi-
nary was occurring within. The ladies and
gentlemen constantly arriving by twos and
threes niiglit have let a small ray of light
upon his mind, as it most undoulitedly did,
but even this gave no token that a reception
was being held thus under his nose; but had
liad he successfully smuggled himself past
the vigilant doorkeepers, he would have im-
mediately seen that there was a semblance
of life and activity within. The interior of
the store has been fitted up anew and grea-
tly enlarged in every department, tlie firm
now occupying the entire corner with the
exception of the second floor.

In the basement, which was gaily fi.-ced up
for the evening, the erucroachments of the
firm upon adjoining buildings were apparent,
tlie space occupied being twice as large as
formerly. In tlie extreme left hand portion
a large basement has been fitted up and filled
witli tlie firm's bracket work. In the next
division of the basement was their stock of
wliolesale goods, and a spot had been cleared
away, in wliich sat a table running tlie en-
tire length of the room, covered with a most
tempting repast for the guests of the evening.
In the lower end an elevator, connecting
with all the floors, has been constructed.
To the left of the ample board, and separated
by a partition, is the firm's iirinting office,
where all their circulars are printed, inclu-
ding tlie well-known Musical lieview. This
place is furnished witli a complete set of type,
cases, an imposing-stone, presses and other
articles necessary in modern printing oflices.

On tlie main floor the music is kept, and
besides there are a number of cosy little ofii-
ccs for employes. In the second story is the
large wareroom, a new addition to tlie esta-
blishment, capable of accommodating over

100 pianos. It was gorgeously caparisoned
last evening, in honor of the opening, -with
evergreens and flowers, arranged in festoons
from tlie ceiling, and an unmistakable »e-
mi-tropical odor pervaded the apartment,
arising from the myriad of nature's botanical
productions on every hand. In this room
the musical exercises of the evening were
conducted. Six years ago the firm of Sher-
man & Hyde started into business in a small
store on that same corner, but the evidences
presented last evening of their progress and
business advancement gave no indication
that their beginning had been so small.
The first and second floors and the large ba-
sement, extending on either side for seventy
feet, are now occupied in their niarcli of im-
provement, all fitted up in a manner com-
mensurate with their size.

Last evening tlie whole store was brillian-
tly lighted, all its atractions being exhibited
and presented an engaging appearance.
Early in the evening the invited guests began
to appear, and by 8 o'clock the story was
pretty well filled with the musical elite of
the city. The elevator carried most of them
into the second story, where the earlier part
of the evening was consumed pleasantly in
listening to the entrancing sounds of the
pianos manipulated by skillful and inspired
hands. Soon after the assemblage adjour-
ned to the basement and partook, with a
crowd of ravenous press representatives, of
the ample repast. Everybody, even those
who possessed no taste for flne music, mani-
fested a keen appreciation for the fine re-
freshments, and in discussing then found a
surprising amount of employment for both
brain and muscle. After this pleasing di-
vcrtisement, and after the estables had been
completely demolished, the guests again re-
turned to the festivities up stairs, which were
prolonged until the hour of midnight. The
opening was a success, and nothing ocurred
to mar the good feeling that prevailed
throughout the assemblage.

A Pleasant Entertainment. — The firm
of Sherman it Hyde gave an entertainment
at their piano and music warerooms, 137 and
l.'iO Kearny street, last evening. Increasing
business has compelled the Arm to extend
its premises, and the accommodation now
at its command embraces three floors, and
indeed all of the building except the second
floor. To convej' some definite idea to the
public and to patrons of the scale on whieli
they do business, Sherman it Hyde conver-
ted the upper floor, where the Weber piano-
fortes, for which they are agents, are dis-
played, into a concert room, and a host of
professional musicians and amateurs vol-
unteered their services to delight with tone
of voice and chord of instrument the large
assemblage that accepted the invitations.
Among those who toolc part in the entertain-
ment were, Herr Formes, Signor G. Mancusi
[who sang in a duet with his pupil. Miss
Wadsworth], Herr Muller, Mr. 'Walter
Campbell, Signor Ferrer, Profesor JIarsh,
and Miss Dillaye. Upwards of 700 invitations
were issued for the oecacion, each admitting
two pei-sons. On the lower floor of the osta-
blisments an inviting lunch, with choice
wines, kept the elevator in constant action
until midnight. — Daily Morning Call.

HOW FORTUNES ARE MADE.

^he musical profession of San Francisco
will long remember Tuesday evening last as
the occasion of the opening of the premises
newlj' added to the well-known music store
of .Sherman it Hyde. Six years ago these
gentlemen purchased a small music business
on the corner of Sutter and Kearny streets;
to-day they control the trade of California,
and are the leading hoitse of the Pacific
Coast. They wore fortunate at the start in
securing the agency of the Weber Piano,
though at that time the instruments of Mr.
Albert Weber were but little known in this
State. To-day it is conceded that the Weber
Pianos have no superior in the world, and
its friends confidently anticipate for it a judg-
ment at the Centennial, which will leave it
without a peer. The indefatigable personal
industry of Messrs .Sherman & Hyde, comb-
ined with the experience of their managers
[notably Mr. Benliam], have by sure degrees
created a business that has outgrown anj'
similar enterprise in San Francisco. A noise-
less elevator takes the visitors in a few
seconds from the ground floor to the piano
rooms, where from seventy to a hundred
magnificent instruments aw ait his inspection.
Foreign made Uprights from Dresden, the
matchless Weber Grands, Squares and Up-
rights greet the eye, arranged in long rows
down the hall. Covers of Canton rtannel,
daintily trimmed with red or blue borders,
protect the shining rosewood cases from
dust or stam, and tlie bewildered purchaser
wonders which is tlie best where all are per-
fect. Descending to the ground floor on the
ever willing elevator, the visitor finds solid
walls of sheet nnisic running from fioor to ceil-
ing, exliibiting a stock as carefully kept and
well selected as it is colossal in proportion.
Going down to the basement which runs half
the entire block, one is met with rows of mu-
sical goods, piled high and low, to supply
the country dealers and tlie trade generally.
The uninjtiated would doubt whether these
liundred'of violins, guitars, brass instru-
ments, banjos and drums could be sold in
his lifetime; wlicther the solid pillars of music
paper, the great tin cases filled with strings,
the pyramids of llutes, fifes, tlageolets, and
the ri>«s of CM ml irons looking acc-ordeons, are
in demand sullcicntly to warrant the invest-
ment, but the ijuicl smile willi whidi tile
propietors would allude to a large stock now
on the way might pos.sibly check furtlier
inquiries as to wiicrc the goods all go to.
On Tuesday last Messrs. Sherman A Hyde
invited over seven hundred of their friends
to be present at the opening of the new rooms.
There was hardly an artist, a teacher or an
amateur who was not present, while num-
bers of the fashionable world attested their
appreciation by attending. Carl Formes,
.Mancusi. .racob Mueller, Miss Wadsworth,
Mr. Camphell, and, indeed, every well
known artist in the city, combined to give
a delicious concert, while the basement for
tlic noiK'i. was turned into a liancpiet hall,
superbly dressed witli the choicest wines
and delicacies obtainable. .Messrs. Sherman

WHAT EXTERPISE HAS ACCOM-
PLISHED IN .SIX YEARS.

Scarcely a day passes in this city without
some of our business men furnishing ad-
ditional evidences of enterprise and prospe-
rity, proving that there is no limit to the
march of improvement on this coast. In a
very little while a complete change comes
over the spirit of the dreams of local mer-
chants, many of whom commenced opera-
tions some five or six years ago in a small
way, and are now ranked among the most
substantial and prosperous men in San Fran-
cisco. There is no better case in point than
that of Sherman A Hyde, the popular and pro-
gresive dealers in pianos and other musical
Instruments, and publishers of music, on the
southwest corner of Kearny and Sutter
streets. From the first they have had the
sterling advantage in their favor of ocupying
the most central busines.s location in the
city. This, however, of itself would not have
so rapidly built up their present immense
business or established their great populari-
ty, unless they had possessed personal
qualities which attract friends and patrons,
and also the superior knowledge and expe-
rience which give to business operations the
surest guarantee of success. One of Addi-
son's characters in made to exclaim, " 'Tis
not in mortals to command succes-s; I will
do more — deserve it." Messrs. .Sherman A
Hyde, however, have shown that it is possi-
ble to command as well as deserve success,
otherwise they would not so soon have
attained their present proud eminence of
being the leaders in their line of business on
the Pacific Coast.

We, as well as numerous other persons,
have watched with interest the rapid growth
of this great local musical establishment, re-
garding it as sui genfris in even this restless-
ly ambitious .section of the globe. It has
all along been plain to see that there was
nothing meretricious in their prosperity and
that they have been gover!ie<l by the golden
rules of legitimate trade. Controlling as
they have done from the outset of their
areer the means to develop the best interests
of their business, tliey have been inde-
fatigable in their endeavors to win the favo-
rable recognition of the large music-loving
section of the community, and otiered the
most liberal iudnceinenls in all their tran-
.sactions. Even when, sixyearsago, the firm
began business in a small corner-store of the
building they still occupy, the mastery of all
details which they manifested inspired their
first patrons with the utmost confidence in
their integrity and accommodating disposi-
tion, and ever since that confidence has so
increased that there is not in this cit.v to-day
anotlier firm tliat enjoys a fuller licgreo of
the goodwill of the public. Witli such a
solid basis to operate on, they could not well
be otherwise than popular and successful,
and their future is even brighler with pro-
mise than the pa.st.

Last evening was a reil letter occasion for
Sherman A Hyde, when they entertained

their numerous patrons and friends in a
right royal manner. Finding for a long
time past that the rapidly increasing de-
mands of their business required much
greater accommodation than they had at
their disposal, they proceeded to make such
alterations and improvements as would meet
the wants of the case. The building was
quite large enough for all purposes, but
dirterent parts of it were monopolized by
other parties .so that the space used by .Sher-
man tt Hyde was necessarily restricted.
Having a strong preference for the location,
and being determined, if possible, to effect
arrangements which would permit them to
still occupy the corner and command the
exclusive use of the ba.sement and upper
floors, they entered into the nece.s.sary nego-
tiations with the proprietor and were grati-
fied at being able to carrj' them out so suc-
cessfully that last night they were able to
throw open a complete establishment for the
entertainment of invited guests. With the
exception of the second floor the entire build-
ing is now occupied by the firm, constitut-
ing one of the largest establishments devoted
to the music business in the United States.
.\s it is now arranged, there is ample space
for the efficient management of every de-
partment of the business, and the public
may rest assured that whether in reference
to the .sale of the celebrated Weber piano, for
which the firm are sole agents on the Pacific
Coast, dealing in other musical instruments,
selling or publishing pieces of music, or to
any other detail connected with the business,
the fullest satisfaction will be given in the
future, even more so than in the past.

In many important respects radical
changes have been made in the establish-
ment, and Slierman iV: Hyde are to be con-
gratulated on the excellent taste and judgment
which they have displayed in the improve-
ments. Not only have actual requirements
been attended to in the most desirable wa.v,
but many artistic features have been intro-
duced, so that attractive points of beauty are
displayed to advantage. In the basement
considerable encroachments have Iieen made
upon adjoining buildings, the space now-
occupied being twice as large as formerly.
The whole of the left hand portion of a large
connecting basement h.as been included and
litteil up with the bracket work of the firm.
The stock of wholesale goods is contained in
the next division of the ba.sement. On the
left, separated by a partition, is the firm's
printing otlice, in which all tho circulars of
the firm are printed, as well as the well-
known Musical Hevieiv, which is the acknow-
ledged authority on all musical ni.atters on
the Pacific Coast. This periodical, indeed,
has .shown from the first, marked ability in
its management, the matter which it contains
being always well-written and selected, and
the information given being at all times in-
tcresiiifi and sometimes valuable.

On the street fioor is the main store, ele-
gantly fitted up and stocked to repletion with
the most popular productions of tho musical
world. .\s Messrs. .Sherman A Hyde keep
themselves well posted on all matters which
have the lea.st connection with music in all
its departments, their arrangements for pro-
curing all novelties in that line are complete.
Consignments of new publications are cons-
tantly received by them from New York,
Boston and other Eastern cities, while the
musical productions of the old world are
vijry fully represented at their establishment,
so that their stock may be considered com-
plete in every particular. With the impro-
vements which have been made in this main
store, ample space is now furnished for the
accommodation of visitors, and the linn,
tieing no longer cramped for room, will be

able in future to do more justice to their pa-
trons. On this point tliey are very earnest,
well knowing that both ladies and gentle-
men are best pleased when they can conduct
their inquiries and make their purchases
witliout being crowded ujion by strangers
A very jiretty effect is produced in the
appearance of this main store by a number
of elegant little offices for the employees,
whose duties are well defined, each depart
ment of the business being kept distinct, so
that confusion is impossible.

Perhaps the most important addition to
the establishment has been made on tlie top
floor, the whole of which is now formed into
a wareroom capable of holding over 100
pianos. Last evening it was handsomely
decorated in lionor of the opening, with
flowers and evergreens hanging in wreaths
and festoons from the ceiling, and making a
very beautiful scene. In this room the musi
eal exercises were conducted, several well
known professionals and amateurs contribut
ing to good purpose and receiving the warm
applause which their efforts deserved. The
room was crowded with the elite of the city
several hundred of tlie rank and file of local
aristocracy being present. To say that they
entered fully into the enjoyment of the
occasion would be to use mild lauguage, for at
times they were becomingly den^pstrative
in expressing their pleasure. All the floors
occupied by the Arm are attractively fltted
up, and Messrs. Sherman tt Hyde have
abundant reason to be proud of the eviden-
ces they have furnished of tlieir unparalleled
business property.

In order that their guests might not have
the least cause for disappointment, Sherman
d- Hyde last evening provided a generous
champagne collation in the basement, which
was easily reached by means of an elevator,
which connects with all the floors, and was
kept running so long as any guests remained.
During the evening ample justice was done
to the more substantial elements of the enter-
tainment, the guests fellowing their own
tastes and whims in partaking of the repast.
Wine flowed freel}', many pretty sentiments
were expressed, and moments flew past on
golden wings, so tliat it was almost midnight
before tlie ladies present realized the "wee
sma' hours" of morning had arrived. Al-
together, it was a highly successful affair
and will still further add to the great and
well-deserved popularity of the Arm. With
their increased facilities for conducting
business, Sherman & Hyde will now enter
upon an era of prosperity which will be ex-
ceptional in the business Iiistory of even this
city.

SHERMAN & HYDE'S MUSIC
DEPOT.

There is probably no other establish-
ment of a similar nature in San Francis-
co that presents such a varied and enjoy-
able "feast of reason and flow of soul"
as applicable to music, rendered through
the medium of the piano-forte, as does
that of Messrs. Sherman & Hyde, whose
spacious and elegant parlors are situated
at the corner of Kearny and Sutter
Streets, San Francisco. A few nights
ago these gentlemen gave a gr.and en-
tertainment, embracing a musical soiree,
which will not soon be forgotten by all
followers of Apollo. It is safe to assume
that there is no house, either Californian
or Eastern, represented on the Pacific
Coast, that has embarked so thoroughly

in the art of music, or which has done
more to foster and build up a true and
refined taste for it, than the firm to whom
we have alluded.

Through the exertions of the gentle-
men to whom we have made reference,
the Webek piano ranks second to none
in the metropolis of the West Coast
We coidd, in fact, fill columns with io;*'^
^fide laudatory recommendations, emana
ting- from noted musicians and astistes,
but such a course is rendered entirely
unnecessary on account of the Musicai.
Review, a publication of great value
and undeniable merit, which is regularly
issued, on the terms of $1 50 per annum,
or 15 cents for single copies, and we
have not the least hesitation in sayin
that no family, any member of which,
child or adult, is studj'ing music, should
fail to subscribe to Sherman & Hyde's
MiTSiCAL Review. As stated in their
business card which will be found else-
where in our columns, the Sherman &
Hyde Piano is provided with four round
corners, elegant case, grand scale, full
agraife, and is fully warranted for ten
years, the price being $450 for square or
upright.

Included in other specialties, we
would draw ])articular attention to the
Standard Onjan^ which for elegance of
case, richness and variety of tone, delic-
acy of action, and durability excels all
others, as the agents deservedly claim.
As to the stock of sheet music, it is as
nearly cotnplete as it can possibly be,
but in case there is any composition
which, although not on hand, can be
procured, you have only to give or for-
^yard your order to Sherman & Hyde,
who will at once attend to its prompt ex-
ecution.— Commercial Advertiser.

An Evening WITH Sherman A Hyde. —
Last Tuesday evening was the occasion of
a grand musical opening at the store of
Jlessrs. Sherman & Hyde on Kearny street.
Increasing business has compelled the firm
to extend its premises, and the accomoda-
tion now at its command embraces three
floors, and indeed all the building except,
the second floor. To convey some definite
idea to the public and to patrons of the scale
on which they do business, Sherman it Hyde
converted the upper floor, whore the Weber
pianofortes, for which they are agents, are
displayed, into a concert room, and a host of
professional musicians and amateurs volun-
teered their services to delight with tone of
voice and chord of instrument the large
assemblage that accepted the invitations.
The three different floors of the building
were brilliantly lighted, the main musical
hall, callable,, of acommodating over 100
pianos, was handsomely decorated with
evergreens and flowers, and on the lower
floor an inviting lunch kept the elevator in
constant action until midnight. The opening
was a success, and nothing occurred to mar
the good feeling that prevailed throughout
the large assemblage. — The Pacific.

Ax Evening at Siieuman & Hyde's.
Messrs. Sherman & Hyde provided a
very pleasant and enjoyable entertain-
ment to their musical friends and mem-
bers of the profession, on the occasion of
the opening of their new and elegant
Piano Warerooms. We must confess
that never before have we spent a more
jileasant evening. Shortly after 8 o'clock
the various roomy and elegantly decora-
ted departments of the above firm were
crowded with a very select party of over
600 persons, all of whom seemed to en-
joy themselves as best they knew how.
The entire absence of any formality im-
parted a delightful and unrestrained feel-
ing to the festival. Among our artist
friends we noticed the ladies Fabbri,
Valerga, Withrow, Meyers, Wadsworth,
Kendrick, and the gentlemen C. Formes,
Jacob Muller, S. H. Marsh, Pflueger,
Oscar and Roderick Herold, Mancusi,
Sam Fabian, Trauner and various others,
all of whom entertained those present in
the most enjoyable manner possible. An
elegant supper and sparkling champagne
closed the evening's entertainment
which has made a lasting and pleasing
impression upon us — German Demokrat.

.MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

September llj, IttTti.
Col. Wabren — Dear Sir; KuowiuH you are the warm
friend of music as well as all other good things that
teud to elevate and improve the social life, I have
briefly sketched the following notice of the musical
reception which I so happily enjoyed. I hope it may be
of some interest to your thousand readers, as I am sure
the firm I name deserves all that can be said in their
praise.

'■ Music the fiercest grief can charm.

And fate's severest rage disarm.
Mu^ic can soften pain to ease.

And make despair and madness please ;
Our joys below it can improve,
And antedate the bliss above."
It has often been said San Francisco is famous for
its love and appreciation of music. No city in our land
according to its population bestows so much attention,
or patronizes so liberally this noble art and science ; for
it is both. I am so much in love with my adopted State,
that I accord to it, and justly so, the palm above alt
other States.

Messrs. Sherman k. Hyde, music dealers, on Kearny,
corner of Sutter street, commenced as I learn but a few
years ago the Bale of musical instruments and music on
a small scale. By their courtesy and attention they so
won public favor that now they stand at the very head
of this business, with a spacious warehouse, and the
largest and most complete stock of pianos, organs, and
every class of musical instruments of the highest
character. They are publishers also of sheet and book
music on a large scale, and their sales extend to all
sections of this coast, as well as to other States and

So successful and popular has this house become, that
recently ihey were compelled to enlarge their premises.
Now they occupy three stories, in one of the finest
buildings on Kearny street.

The recent opening of their new and spacious music
rooms on Tuesday, September I'ith, was the occasion of
a large reception and reunion of musical celebrities,
and the partners and friends of the hrm.with members
of the Press,

It was a most happy affair to a happy throng of friends
as ever met, to the number of si.x hundred, who were
entertained from tlib hour of S o'clock till the small
houra began.

After a visitation was made over the whole place
tinely illuminated, to examine their immense stock of
goods, all were gathered in the splendid musical hall
above, a large and spacious room 70x50, and there all
were feasted with music and sOng to a full fruition.
It was indeed a very rich feast.

Some twenty-hve of our best and most talented artistp
were present, "and by their performances did themselves

much honor, while tbey delighted all hearers. I
regret not having the names of all who bo highly
dietingxiished themselvee; I remember eome of them,
but -where all did bo nobly I will not particuUrize.
The next surprise was an invitation to a most bount.
eously spread table in one of the rooms to which all
repaired. There a new scene of satisfactoi-j^ music to
the taste, made all glad.

I am sure no musical affair was ever given in our
city with more taste and skill, and hospitality, than
the happy musical festival at Sherman & Hyde's on that
memorable Tuesday evening, September I'ith. It will
long be remembered by our citizens and artists in music
and particularly will the friends of this musical house
aid them in their endeavors to do well, and win for
themselves, name, fame, and prosperity.

It would be a hai»py event if our citizens could enjoy
more such festivals as the one of which I have spoken.
Fur mubiic and song are the divine voices in the soul of
mortals, in unison with God and nature, and, ae the

"The dying night-breeze harping o'er the hills.
Striking the springs of nature — rock and tree — ,

MUSICAL NOTES.

A.MONL; the afteraoou receptions whijh we attended
in London occasionally were those of Mrs. Moncure
Conway and Miss Elizabeth Phitp, the popular compos-
e» and ballad-singer. In the pleasant drawing-room of
the former lady an American atmosphere prevails.
However many un-.American faces we may encounter
there, we feel delightfully, almost defiantly, at home
— making light of time and circumstance, and inclined
to speak disrespectfully of the Atlantic ocean— feel like
saying to their English friends and parishioners, now
more than usually exultant over the possession of our
brilliant countryman and beautiful countrywoman:
"See, now. they don't belong to you, you know. They
are only lent. Make the best of them, and send them
home in good order when we make the next call." You
do not find at the Conways' people of high ton or high
church— sticklers for etiquette or the thirty-nine arti-
cles. I do not remember to have encountered there a
belle or a bishop, but one is sure of meeting cultivated
men and women representing what is newest and best
in literature, science and art. At Miss Philp's recep-
tions we weresure of fine music. It was always a pleas-
ure to us to hear Miss Philp sing her own compositions.
invariably«written to poetry of a high order. She has
not only admirably set to music some of the most deli-
cate and weird songs of Kingsley, but hag accomplished
the seeming impossible by wedding to strains worthy
of them several of the noblest and most exquisite lyrics
of Mrs. Browning. She sings with remarkable dram-
atic power — simply, directly, clearly enunciating every
word — with little of what is called "execution," but
doing great execution, Her singing moves yoii like fine
oratory, and storms away at your heart like magnificent
recitation. It reminds me in its style of the wonderful-
ly effective singing of Adelaide Kemble. A pleasauter
feature of Miss Philp's receptions is the presence of her
father and mother, both octogenarians, but the young-
est old people I have ever seen. Miss Philp is generous-
ly systematic toward all women who work in any way.
for art or literature. She is cordially appreciative of
American women of talent. One may meet at her house
artists like Emma Abbott and Antoinette Sterling, and
bur brilliant journalists, Louise Chandler Moulton and
Kate Field. There, also, are to be seen famous English
authors, and clever actors, professionals and amateurs
Among the novelists we occasionally met. there was a
fair, rosy, plump, gentle-mannered lady of middle-age.
a good examjile of an English "fine woman," very agree-
able but undemonstrative, and apparentl,y unimagina-
tive— not at all like one given to burning the midnight
oil, to sentiment, tragedy, mysteries or scenes, but who
was. nevertheless. Miss Braddon, the queen of sensation-
al story writers, as the beautiful Ada Cavendish is the
queen of sensational acti-esses. — [New York Times.

Bret Habtk's Oi^atoric.^l Fiasco — Mr. Bret Hartc
with a frilled shirt-front and a claw-hammer coat, eat
gorgeously in a box at the I'nion Square on Saturday
night, in company with Dion Boucicault and Kath-
erine Ropers. Bret was all cocked and plumed for bis
famous speech against the press, and sat during the
play in full view of the audience, who <lidn't appear to
to know who he was. Each act passed, but no sjieech
came. At length, after the play had been dragged
through, the audience was awakened by some very vig-
orous shouting and clapping in the rear of the parquet.
We watched this proceeding closely, and could only see
two rosetted ushers and a Mr. Van Ofiten indulging in
the vocal and instrumental exercise. 'Contrary to cus-
tom when the audience is dispersing the lights were not
turned down, and Mr. Harte continued in bis box. But
still the audience didn't seem to understand what the
cries of "Harte!" "Speech!" meant, and they quietly
went out without joining in the demonstration. So the
great dramatic author's speech was stillborn, spite of
all his preparation and the enthusiastic endeavors of
the ushers.— IN. Y. Dramatic News.

" TunKlsH Baths" and the "Vocal Okoans." — A sing-
ular instance has occurred in London, of the entire re-
storation of the voice to one of the leading Singers of
the metropolis, owing to the use of the Turkish bath, and
wc gladly make this fact known to o\ir musical friends
and readers, at the same time informing tbum that they
can find in this city, the most complete and perfect insti-
tution of the kind in the world, at the "Hammam" on Du-

OREGON CORRESPONDENCE.

PoETUlXD. Oregon, Sept. 30th. 1876.

Dear Review: — The Portland Public
Schools opened on the 4th inst., under
the most favorable auspices, and with a
very full attendance. The number of
pupils enrolled for the month of Septem-
ber, 1875, was 1,277; — for the second
week of this month, 1,379; — showing an
increase of 102 pupils for the first half
month over last year. This influx is ow-
ing, not so much to the increased popu-
lation, as to the steady improvement and
general excellence of the schools. Neat-
ness and good order prevail, and the
semi-annual examinations prove the
thoroughness of the course of instruction.
More is being done the present year,
than ever before, on the part of teachers,
towards having the school-rooms present
a cheerful and attractive appearance.
There are in all thirty regular teachers
and one substitute, making an average
of fort3'-five pupils to each teacher. The
classes, howe\'er, are not equally divided,
as the attendance of pupils in the pri-
mary grades greatly exceeds that of the
grammar gratles.

The following are the names of the
teachers.

High School, — Prof. Anderson, Miss
M. A. Hodgden, Mr. Meacham and Ur.
Rosenberg.

A New Org;an Book !

odern Method

FOll THE-

HEED ORGAN.

An entirely new work, jjrepared with great care by Mr. Karl Merz,
whose reputation as one of the finest teachers anrl musical writers in the
country gives assurance that the

fof the Reed flfgan

Is unsurpassed. The full and copious directions to teachers and pupils
«ill be found of great service. The arrangements and selections of music
are all new, and the work is one that must command a large sale through-
out the Country. It is the

LATEST and certainly one of the BEST

Methods for Reed Organ in the markel. No teacher should fail to examine '
Mr. Merz' new work.

Prom the hundreds of voluntary testimonials already
received we append the following :

From the Cleveland Serald of May 6ih,
we extract the following : .».»... ^

Messrs. Bralnard's Sons have just pub-
lished the "Modern Method for the Reed
Organ," by Karl Merz. In this publication
the author has not aimed to present an
elaborate work upon the subject and partic-
ular department of which he treats, but to

time, comprehensive manner, the rudiments
that are valuable and the music that is
strictly confined to the capacities and quali-
fications of the instrument. As an instruc-
tion book it seems us to meet the require-
ment of the pupil, and be of value to the
teacher. Mr. Merz is a tarse writer and e.\-
presses his sentences in a few words, but
always to the point, as his contributions to
the musical journals for some years attest,
and in this "Modem Method for the Reed
Organ" the same characteristics are noticed
in the instructions to pupils and hints to
teachers. The work, though not large, em-
braces all the elements of sacred and secular,
classic, and popular music in a very pleas-
ant combination, in which we find many
compositions of the best masters. Mr. Merz
has in contemplation a larger work on organ
music, which we doubt n'Jt will be corres-
pondingly as valuable as his present "Mod-
ern Method."

From the Clinton (III.) Public we take
the following :

"Messrs. .S. Brainard's Sons have just is-
sued a new book entitled Karl Mcrz^ Mod-
ern Method for the Reed Organ, and claim
for it advantages which no similar work can
produce. For young pupils it has no
equal ; and the systematic course of instruc-
tion and progressive and agreeable manner
in which the whole theory of music and
organ playing is made clear to tlie pupil, as
well as the vast amount of valuable sug-
gestions to the teacher, will commend itself
to all."

The Cincinnati C<
says:

fof M.iy 9th»

Karl Merz, the well known musical writer
of Oxford, has written a modem method for
the Reed Organ in which he aims to keep
in viewa help for those who learn to play
on that instrument with the final purpose of
learning to play on the Pipe Organ, and for
those who use the instrument as substiute
for the Piano. He mixes the sacred with
the secular, the classic with the popular,
in the selections many of which are from
the works of the masters, but what specially
commends the work is the clearness and
simplicity of the method laid down for the
beginner. It is published by S. Bra'nard's
Sons, Cleveland.

Miss Fannie O'Byrne, a prominent
teacher in BrookviUe, Ind., writes under
date of May 6th,

"I like it very much. Think the explan-
ations more thorough and clear than those
of any other boc-k I have ever seen. Any
one old enough to understand what thy read,
can almost learn without a teacher."

From C. M. Vo
O. , we have received the following ;

"As an intructionbook for beginners it is
unequalled and I recommend it without
hesitation to those desirous of making rapid
progress in the art of organ playing."

Mis

Casev, of Patoka, Ind.,

*' I have used Karl Merz' Instruction
Book for the Reed Organ, and find it to be
a superior book to any I have seen. The
rudiments are simple enough for the dullest
pupil, the exercises progress systematicaly,
_■ ■ ig the teacher sufficient material to
work with, and the amusements are attrac-
and pleasing. I heartly recommend
the book."

Oratorio of Joshua,

BY HANDEL.

Price in Cloth, §1. 25; Boards, sSl.; Paper, SO cents; with
liberal discount to Societies for cjuantities.

For some strange reason, this fine oratorio, equal in power
to many others, has been almost unknown to American sin-
gers. Its recent rendition by the Handel and Haydn Society
of Boston was a success, and it will no doubt, now take its
place among the classical works in constant practice.

People's Chorus Book,

For Conventions, Societies, and Classes.
Price $1. Per Dozen, $9.
An admirable selection of the best Glees and Part Songs.
In glancing over the pa^es, one is tempted to pronounce it
"the best" Glee Book. That, however is too much to assert,
but it certainly is " as good as the best" of previous publica-
tions. Among the attractive titles may be mentioned, " You
stole my Love," "The Owls," "Chosen one," "Belfry Tow(!r,"
"Silent Night," "Tiiy praises. Autumn," and "When Allen
a- Dale went a hunting." Smart, Sullivan, Pinsuti, Macfarren,
Barnby, Gade, and Leslie are a jjortion of the composers.

The Salutation.

New Book of Sacred Music, by L. O. Emerson. Price ^12
per Dozen. §L3S per singfe copy.

" Sahitaris,'''' says the collegian, in commencing his w^ell
conned Latin oration. Prof. Emerson has for some years
united his labors with those of a distinguished Western com-
piler. The result was undoubtedly good, but he now appears
alone, with a sense of greater freedom and ease, and the
present Salutatory ushers in a new and successful era.

The Salutation is a book of about .350 pages. Beginning,
as one usually does, at the end, and allowing the leaves to
slip through the fingers, we first notice a dozen pages packed
with the alwaj'S indispensable congregational tunes. Next,
w-e pause a moment to hum over the few beautiful chants.
Ne.xt, in backward order, we come to a mass of new and
choice Anthems, Hymn Anthems, Motets, Sentences and the
like, a very rich collection that will be eagerly sought after
by those needing new opening anthems or " Yoluntaries."
Then we begin to encounter the last Psalm Tunes, whose
varied metres always render them favorites with new singers,
and then a multitude of Common, Short and I^ong metres,
many of which are destined to be the special favorites of
choirs. Still retrograding, we come to the easy new glees
and four-part songs intended for Singing Classes. These
are all attractive and fresh. The whole book commences
with 50 pages of the "Rudiments," which are clear and suffi-
ciently comprehensive.

This is a meagre synopsis of a fine book, which is exjiected
to repeat the successes of the " Harp of Judah," " Choral
Tribute," and other works of the same author.

The Encore.

Especially prepared for Singing Classes. By L. O. Emerson.
Price 75 cents.
The Encore is intended as a successor to the "Song
Monarch," Emerson's "Singing School," and other books of
that character. It is intended to contain all the material, of
all lu'eded variety, that is needed to instruct aiul entertain a
singing class.

Looking back. I can see you yet.

Just as you stood on the topmost stair;
A flutter of white from head to foot,

A cluster of buds at your breast— Ah me!
The vision was never half so sweet

As it is to-night in my memory.

I love you, love, with a love so true.

That iu coming years I'll not forget
The beautiful form and face I knew.

And memory will always hold regret;
I shall Btand bv the sea, as I stand to-night.

And think of the vision whose brightness died
■When the frosts of winter fell chill and white,

On the fairest tlower of the summer tide.

They are calling you. Must I let you go ?

Must I say good-by, and go my way '?
If you must go, it is better so,

Good-by'B such a sorrowful word to say.
Give me, my darling, one last Bweet kiss,

So we kiss our dear ones and see them die.
But death holds no parting Bo sad as this,

Hod bless and keep you, and so— good-by.

For the Musical Review
MANUEL GARCIA.

Translated from the French by Mrs. C'Ar.oi-ixi: P. Hall.

In one of the most obscure and narrow
little streets of niagniflcent Paris, Rue
Chabannais, there stood a tall, dark and un-
prepossessing looking habitation, No. 6. The
buildings on either side and those opposite
were tinged with the same uncouth sombre
hue, squinting down unceasingly upon gray
No. 6, -with their dingy chimneys and
unwashed windows, like old duennas mount-
ing guard. But the inmates of these same
neglected lookiug tenements, on the contrary,
regard the gray old building with a certain
jjride and friendshii) of feeling, and like
children, delighted over every brilliant
equipage that stayed its rapid course before
the broad doorway of No. G, or the modest
and unpretending fiacre that deposited
therein its precious burden. All day, grace-
ful figures glided over the threshold of the
large dark house — and the principal modiste
of Rue C!habannais with her caps, ribbons
and frills in the corner window, might have
made valuable studies for costumes from
the divers figures who so heedlessly passed
by her well arranged treasures. Rich and

heavy silks, simple black robes, the brilliant
garb of the German woman, the elegant and
coquettish French costume, and the straw
hat that sheltered the fair brow of the English
lady — all wending their waj' to the quaint
old dwelling, which even in tlie midst of
obscurity and decay, stood firm and trium-
phant in its cause. Men too, young and old,
entered mysteriously No. fl, with a rapid
gait — and strangely did their countenances
dift'er in expression as they left; — some
bright and smiling, but mostly with deep,
earnest looks and brow furrowed with an-
-xious thought.

Now let us solve the riddle of the m^'ste-
rious gray old mansion. Follow me up the
broad stone stairway. Many a light foot
has lingered anxiously on these .steps, hes-
itating whether to proceed. This iron railing
has been touched by many a trembling hand,
and these white walls have echoed many a
sigh. At last we have mounted the third
flight; let us take breath ! for wo are stand-
ing before the dwelling of Manuel Garcia,
the greatest singing master of our time.

Passing through a small ante-chamber, we
carefully open a folding door on the right,
and enter a simple apartment, partially
darkened, and tastefully furnished. Two
beautiful busts arrest our attention; one
bears the inscription " Eugenie Garcia," the
other the immortal name "Marie Malibran."
Two familiar portraits adorn the walls ; the
earnest countenance of Pauline Yiardot and
the pleasant, kindly face of the .Swedish
Nightingale, who owed to this great maestro
the restoration of her wonderful voice.

Silvery sounds, full and powerful, reach
our ear, — they attract us irresistibly ; we
follow them, and find ourselves in the very
sanctum of the master, in the atelier of the
artist. The long folds of the red silk curtains
are partially drawn ; a fine piano stands in
the centre of the room ; easy chairs by the
grate, a luxurious divan on one side"covered
witli scattered music; an elegant table loaded
with books, portfolios, music books and
papers of all kinds; music stands in every
direction, on one of which, beside the singer,
we see an open volume of exercises, "L'Ecole
de Garcia." Garcia sits at the piano, his
scholar stands at some distance before him.
The maestro is very tall, unusually slender,
and of a feverish vivacity. His face is small
and deadly pale; his dark slightly curled
hair falls over a high forehead. His eyes
are dark, restless, flashing and inspired.
Now he listens with fixed attention to the

full, swelling notes that flow from the lips
of the songstress ; the next he throws back
his head impatiently; a word of warning
or of blame is rapidly addressed to the pupil;
sometimes a kindly .smile, a slight sarcasm,
a pleasant jest, all strangely intermingled
with sudden starts, angry stamping of the
feet and stern frowns of displeasure. How
rarely a word of praise ! But one single
warm word 6t commendation from such a
master is a sunbeam that has power to pen-
etrate and unfold every fa.st closed bud of
zeal and earnest eftbrt. How cautiously
Garcia handles the precious possession in-
trusted to his care, the human voice! How
tenderly he protects it ! how carefully he
watches it ! how anxiously he strives to
preserve that pure brilliant freshness of
youth, which is the greatest charm a voice
can possess. And how strenuously does he
insist upon resting pauses in his hours of
instruction ! Hear what he says to that
listening pupil who looks up to him with
such eager expectation.

" Freshness and spontanoousness arc the
most precious qualities of the voice, but they
are also the most fragile. Once lost they
can never return."

" During the first days of practising the
pupils should not devote them.selves to their
exercises more than five minutes consec-
utively ; but studies thus regulated may be
resumed four or five times a day, provided
they be separated by long intervals. After-
wards the time devoted to practice, by
increasing it five minutes at a time, may be
extended to half an hour, a limit which
should never be exceeded. At the end of
five or six months, you may increase the
number of half hours of exercise to four, but
be careful in going beyond it, remembering
always, that these periods be separated l.iy
long rests."

The singer begins again. Her own tiguro
stands before her in the largo mirror that
hangs behind the master's back; no move-
ment of her face can escape her; every
contraction of her eyebrows, every slight
wrinkle in her forehead, every ungraceful
movement of her mouth is truly reflected
there. And no triok passes unreproved, for
Garcia's piercing eye watches with fixed
attention every feature of the singer. But
he does not arrange and prescribe how the
cheekbones are to move, or the lips to open;
he does not confuse the ideas of his pupils
by incomprehensible, wordy descriptions of
the position of the month and the posture of

Sherman &■ Myde's Musical Review.

the head ; he simply repeats the teaching of
the famous old Italian singing masters, Josi
and Mancini: "Every singer should hold
his mouth as he is in the habit of doing
when he smiles naturally, that is, so that the
upper teeth may be moderately and perpen-
dicularly separated from the lower ones.'"
Without directing the posture of the body
like a drill-sergeant, Garcia says briefly, but
decidedly: " Keep the body erect, tranquil,
well-balanced in the two limbs, and at a
distance from any other point of support.
The arms must be held a little back so as
not to interfere with the play of the chest."
The lesson is finished. The master kindly
dismisses his pupil, again repeats, with con-
densed brevity, the main point of to-day's
instruction, appoints the task for home
practice, and encourages the timid departing
scholar with heartcheering wdrds of courage
and hope.

But look! scarcely has the door closed
when it is again opened. A pale young man,
accompanied by some sober-looking elderly
gentlemen, bows in an awkward and yet
assuming manner, and, with a smile of con-
scious self-satisfaction, presents different
letters of recommendation, among wliich
such names as Meyerbeer, Auber and Spon-
tini, shine out. It is a singer from one of
the provinces; enchanted with the praises
of his table-companions, be is about to devote
himself to the stage. His rich father and
richer uncle have come with him to Paris ;
cousin Meyerbeer sends him to Garcia.
With what indifference Garcia throws aside
these great letters, but how carefully he
begins to test the young man's abilities!
The aspiring devotee to art has brought with
him his favorite air, his show-piece; Verdi
is his idol among composers. The recitation
begins; Garcia accompanies him. The voice
is weak and yet sharp, already half cracked;
the flow of it unnatural and cramped ; the
most terrible effort is apparent at every note;
false respiration too, and indistinct pro-
nunciation. The master grows more and
more impatient ; his feet begin to jerk as if
seized with sudden cramps ; he plays faster
and faster; with feverish haste his slender
hands run over the keys, his face changing
with every sound ; his eyes flash more and
more restlessly ; his teeth are pressed against
his lips; suddenly, he springs from his seat
with tire half-smothered exclamation, "Assez,
monsieur, assez, .jo vous prie !" ho sinks
exliaustcd into a chair: an awful pause
ensues. At last the master ((uiotly and
decidedly explains to the singer the grounds
upon which he is obliged to refuse his request,
in spite of all the recommendations of Meyer-
beer and Spontini. His candor and calmness
towards the offended amateur are worthy of
admiration. Ho concludes by kindly advis-
ing the astonislioci aspirant, if lie lias not
implicit faith in his words, to seek another
teacher, and disuiisscs the deluded worship-
per of Verdi with the most refined courtesy.

How frequently does he reject lady pupils
who, with great assumption and half ruined
voices, come to him that his hand may
scatter a few flowers over their remains !
How impatient he is of all musical narrow-
ness, want of talent and laziness ! His
severity has caused many tears, but his
justice remains unimpeachable. He will
not feign for a scholar an interest he does
not feel. Holding a book in one hand, with
the other he carelessly strikes an accompani-
ment ; and as he diligently reads on, only
the monotonous "encore" at the end of a
solfeggio, proves that the ear of the master
has been attending. The more untrained
and untutored the voice that is brought to
him the more thankfully he receives it.
How joyfully does he then devote himself
to his arduous task ! how unwearied is his
attention ! how carefully aitd conscientiously
does he watch over the treasure entrusted to
him! On the other hand he is most un-
willing to undertake "repairs" and "final
embellishments" which, artist-like, he con-
fesses without disguise; and singers who,
with this in view, seek the master's studio,
will have but little satisfaction in his lessons.

We must now bid tnee farewell, good
Master Garcia. Heartily do we rejoice that
we have listened to thee ; believe me, we
shall often wing our waj' back in spirit, that
we may look on thee with gratitude and
admiration.

And the goldeu and silvery sounds which
thy magic power draws from young rosy
lips, will again flow forth and bear us in
their clear stream; the bright pearly drops
of brilliant roulades will refresh and quicken
us into new life; and oh, joy! the poor
troiiljled heart will hear no more the sharp,
cutting, irreconcilable discords of the every
day world !

MR. WINANS' ORGAN.

An open air organ is being built by Mr.
Hilborne L. Roosevelt at the house of Mr.
Winans in Newport, that is creating consid-
erable interest, from the novelty of the
attempt and ingenuity of the devices em-
ployed, that are chiefly the invention of Mr
Winans himself, — who is an enthusiastic
lover of musical art. The in.strument is a
fine church oi-gan erected at a distance of
about •'550 feet from Mr. Winans' residence.
The case is an octagon shaped building with
an extension at ime side in which the per-
former sits and from which a Morse telegraph
is run to the house. The organ building has
three large windows with moveable blinds
or shutters which are easily made to act by
the performer to increase or diminish the
power of the tones. The pipes are made to
speak by about three times the ordinary
lucssuioof wind, which is produced bysteam
power. I'nounuitio lovers and electric con-
nections are freoly used, which make the
touch extremely light and pleasant, and the
whole work is being carried out in the most

costly manner. Mr. George W. Morgan is
engaged to give the first performance on the
instrument, which will take place shortly. —

THE STUDY

:al Review.
OF MUSIC.

Ad Extract from S. H. Marsli'B Musical Lectures.

The study of music is not onlj' interesting
on account of the progress which the art is
making, but also from its undeniable power
of enlarging the mind. It must beadmitttKl
that one does not generally obt.ain the knowl-
edge of a most important truth connected
with our existence, viz: that in the search
of means to promote our happiness, we do
not sufficiently consider our individual cap-
abilities of success ; this applies with peculiar
force to those who engage in the study of
music, for of the thousands who enter upon
the acquirement of this art, there are very
few indeed who have any just apprehension
of what it is intended for them to effect; they
receive lessons, and they practice without
any definite purpose. Some parents wish
their children to i>lay and sing; some go
further, and wish them to excei.; and some
compute the cost of excellence and the difH-
culty of attaining it. Of tnese children
multitudes do play or sing, but very few
indeed excel, and perhaps one in a million
prudentlj' abandons a hopeless endeavor.
The disappointment however, thus produced,
is chiefly attributable to a want of considera-
tion at the outset ; to the total absence of all
reflection, of all comparison between the
means and the end. The following may be
considered the three most important objects
in the acquirement of music.

1st. The charm which attends the exhibi-
tion of talent to a large circle of accpiaintances,
and the effect such display may have upon
the future fortunes of the musical student.

2nd. The gratification to our more imme-
diate friends and connexions.

Srd. The resources and delight it affords
in itself, comprehending diversity of pursuit,
enlargement of mind and pleasurable sensa-
tions.

The most valuable end of education is that
dependence upon ourselves, and indepen-
dence of others, which a power to occupy
time worthily and happily, bestows. This,
which is an important attribute, belongs not
to music only, but ought to bo the first con-
sideration in every part of a well regulated
plan for the foiinatiou of jouthful habits.
Occupation of this sort is far more necessary
to women than to men, — business, either
public or private, employs the hours of the
latter, — but in proportion as the time of the
former is disengaged, are they likely to fall
victims to frivolity or ennui. It is not that
tho female mind is more prone to idleness
or weakness than that of their lordly com-
panions, but it necessarily happens, that
whenever a lady has no prevailing Object, or
rather, objects of steady pursuit, the hours

Sherman &■ Myde's Musical Review.

cannot pass otherwise than heavily. A very
short time will sufliee to fultil the essential
duties of the task commonly allotted to young
ladies, in a sphere of life anything above
that condition where the employment of
their time gains their livelihood. They can-
not get on without variety of intellectual
objects ; reading and work will both fatigue
and wear out.

Manners are changed. Formerly woman
was rather the slave or the mistress, than
the companion of man. Wool work and
crochet are preventive contrivances to stifle
the fane;/ and to murder time; but now
pleasures are chiefly domestic, they are
enjoyed much by participation, and it is the
duty of the wife and the mother to frame such
a round of amusement as shall keep as well
as win the husband, and mould him to that
home which is not only to preserve artection
and attract a circle of friends, but which is
also to model a society fitted to form their
oflfspring for virtuous and amiable citizens,
good sons and daughters, good husbands
and wives, and in their turn, good fathers
and mothers. To the formation of such a
home, as society is now constituted, much
various knowledge and various accomplish-
ments are necessary in the lady. We do not
say that music is so important as to be
indispensable to such a plan, but music, if
justly pursued, is likely to assist most mate-
rially in fixing the attention, refining the
taste, varying the powers and warming the
sensibility of all classes. There is a subtil-
izing, a refining power inherent in music
which cannot fail to be ultimately connected
with the affections concerned in the support
of domestic happiness. Music purifies,
elevates and endears wherever it is cultivated
as an alternative amusement and solace of
private life, and it will never fail to repaj'
those who seek its satisfactions, with a pleas-
ure that will be permanent, because it mii.^t
be alwaj's j^rogressive.

AN ANECDOTE OF SONTAC.

When the celebrated singer, Henrictte
Sontag, began her musical career, she was
subjected to the same annoyances and strug-
gles that rising talent generally finds
obstructing its pathway as it would race
over the burning sands of life to the haven
of fame and fortune. Nevertheless her debut
in Vienna was most brilliant, spite of the
enormous sea of opposition that greeted her,
yet tlie encouraging roar of the lions could
not entirely drown the hissing of the
snakes.

One of the most venomous of these was
the failing favoiite of the public, but still
powerful rival, Amelia Steininger, whose
vocal octave had been considerably broken
and reduced by dissipation, but she counted
scores of admirers who were ready to defend
her position by every means, fair or foul,
in their power, and eventually succeeded in

driving the dangerous rival of their "Stein-
inger" from the field.

Chagrined, if not humiliated, Sontag left
Vienna, harboring anything bnt friendly
feelings towards Amelia Steininger. One
morning, some years later, while she was in
the glory of her triumph, singing with the
great tenor, Jaeger, and the never-to-be-for-
gotten buffo, Spitzeder, at the Royal Theatre,
Berlin, when riding along one of the main
streets of Berlin, she was attracted by hear-
ing an Austrian song, familiar from. childhood
and home, sung on a street corner by a little
girl about six years old, who led by the hand
a forlorn-looking blind woman. It was a
sad and touching air, and the happy canta-
trice immediately ordered her coupe to be
halted, called the little singer to her and
said :

" What is your name, my wee Austrian
echo?"

"Nannie," the child replied, with a sti'ong
Vienna accent.

" And who is the woman with you?"

" My poor blind mother, lady."

"And what is her name?"

"Amelia .Steininger, lady."

"Amelia Steininger !" exclaimed .Sontag in
the greatest surprise.

" Yes, lady, my mother was a great singer
in Vienna long ago, but she lost her voice,
and then she wej^t so much the light went
out of her ej'es; then our friends turned
away from us, and when they were also
gone, we were obliged to beg our way or die
of hunger."

Tears welled from the kind and generous
heart of the fortunate woman, as she listened
to the pathetic story of the little one — tears
of genuine sj-mpathy. She turned to the
gallant gentlemen who gathered about her
like satellites around their star.

" Gentlemen," said she, the pearling drops
of heart-dew glistening in her beautiful eyes,
"permit me here, in this public place, to
take up a collection for an unhappy sister,
from whom God has seen fit to take his
greatest gift— the gift of sight. Here is my
purse; do not allow it to remain companion-
less in the hands of this jjoor child."

In an instant the gold and silver coin
rained upon the overjoyed little girl, who
imagined an angel had come to relieve her
mother from poverty and care.

" Now tell me, Nannie, where do you
live?"

The child gave the address.

"Give your mother my love, and tell her
that her old friend, Henriette Sontag, will
do herself the pleasure of hunting her up
this afternoon and having a little chat with
her."

Crying for joy, the child ran to her mother
with her good luck, and repeated Sontag's
words, but she could not understand the
violence of the impetuous burst of tears that
fell from the blind eyes, to be followed by
the remorseful sobbing of her who once

drove this benefactress from her native city
with hisses.

Sontag came according to promise, bringing
a skillful oculist, who, after an examination,
shook his gray head. He had no relief for
the black cataract that up to that time obstin-
ately resisted skill.

With delicate consideration, the conversa-
tion was led from the subjects that would
recall those diiys in Vienna. With heart-felt
expression of good will, Sontag left her
former enemy and rival ! The following
week, a rousing benefit " for a distressed
artist" was given, Sontag's Iphigenie filling
the house, and also the purse of the blind
woman. Until her death, Henriette Sontag
cared for her; then her daughter became her
grateful protege, and received a liberal edu-
cation that fitted her for an independent
future. The slumbering nightingale left
many mourning hearts, but none who loved
Iior better or more gratefully than tliis
girl. — Garlenlaube.

SENSATIONAL PERFORMANCE.

A correspondent of the Concordia writes as
follows of a sensational performance of
Haydn's "Farewell" Symphony, at Bolton,
under the direction of Mr.de Jongh: The
gas in the hall was turned low, and each
player took his position with a lighted candle
upon his music .stand. The Symphony com-
menced, and in the solemn gloom which
prevailed, the instrumentalists seemed like
so many phantoms resuscitated from the
dead. At length the bassoon ceased. The
player rose from his seat, blew out the
candle, and silently left the orchestra. The
same suggestive action was gravely and
noiselessly performed, at short intervals, by
the other artists in succession, until at last
the orchestral forces had dwindled down to
two violinists, who, with heads bent close to
the music, worked away in the dim, uncer-
tain light with a self-absorbed energy almost
ghastly. The effect upon the audience be-
came intense, as one of the two spectral
players solemnly extinguished his candle
and followed his companions, leaving only
the conductor with one solitary fiddler ; and
as the latter, after a few bars of weird mel-
ody, quitted his post in the same unearthly
manner, an unmistakable " shivery" feeling
rustled through the hall. Absorbed in his
work, the conductor remained beating time
to his vanished players, until, with a start,
he looked up to find himself and his flicker-
ing candle the sole occupants of the now
dark and sombre platform ; so blowing out
the faint flame, he gathered up his score and
glided away. The climax came, a positive
relief to the audience, who had been spell-
bound by the really touching and pathetic
scene; and when the lights were turned up,
"thunders of applause" bespoke the impres-
sion which had been created.

Sherman & flYDE-s Musical Review.

THE LATEST WONDER.

The readers of the Traveler have been
made acquainted with the wonderful inven-
tion of Prof. Bell, bj' which musical and
vocal sounds can be and have been sent over
the electric wires, but few if anj' are aware
of the wonderful results which are sure to
follow these improvements in telegraphy.
A few niglits ago, Prof. Bell was in commu-
nication with a telegraphic operator in New
York, and commenced e.xperimenting with
one of his inventions pertaining to the trans-
mission of musical sounds. He made use of
his phonetic organ, and played the tune of
"America," and asked the operator in New
York what he heard.

"I hear the tune of 'America,'" replied
New Y'ork ; "give us another."

Prof. Bell then played " Auld Lang Syne."

" What do jou hear now ?"

"I hear the lune of 'Auld Lang Syne' with
the full chords, distinctly," replied New
Y'ork.

Thus the astounding discover}- has been
made that a man can play upon musical in-
struments in New Y'ork, New Orleans, or
London, or Paris, and be heard distinctly
in Boston ! If this can be done, why cannot
distinguished performers execute the most
artistic and beatiful music in Paris, and an
audience assemble in Music Hall, Boston, to
listen ?

Prof. Bell's otlier improvement, namely,
the transmission of the human voice, has
become so far perfected that persons have
conversed over 1,000 miles of wire with per-
fect ease, although as yet the vocal sounds
are not loud enough to be heard by more
than one or two person.s. But if the human
voice can now be sent over the wire, and .so
distinctly that, when two or three known
jjarties are telegraphing, the voices of each
can be recognized, we may soon have dis-
tinguished men delivering speeches in New
York, Washington, or London, and audiences
assembled in Music Hall or Faneuil Hall to
listen. — Boston Traveler.

Oaotano Brizzi, the great Italian trumpet
player, has just died at Bologna. He had a
mouth hard as steel, and lungs capacious as
the bellows of a smithy. Having played a
very noisy passage in Donizetti's hearing
once, the maestro went over to him, and,
smilingly tajiping him on the cheek, said,
" Caro mio lirizzi, you're sure of an engage-
ment on the last day, to play the trumpet in
the Valley of .lehoshaphat."
. «

The death of the sculptor and engraver,
.loseph Cesar, is announced, who for the last
thirty years, has pursued the self-imposed
task of raising and, in many respects, creating
tlie art industry of Austria, and to whose
disinterested ofTort.s its i)resent prosperity,
especially that of the art industry of Vienna,
is cliletiv due.

Clips and Chips.

Ole Bull intends concertizing in Paris.
Carl Rosa is coming to the United States.

M. Vivien, the violinist, has just given
fijOOO francs for a Stradivarius.

It is stated by Figaro that the rumor of
Mile. Albani's marriage to Mr. Ernest Gye,
is " premature."

A correspondent who has an unquenchable
thirst for knowledge, wants to know if the
wheel of Time is ever tired.

The zither is fast coming into fashion in
London drawing rooms, and, it is said,
threatens the exclusion of other now popular
instruments.

The Herald retnarks that Victor Hugo
"hears words in the waves." Probably
meaning to say that he waves words in the
'ears. — Graphic.

De Mur.ska has married another pianist.
She needs an accompanist at her private
rehearsals, and finds there is but one way to
enforce discipline.

In anticipation of the worst dramatic .sea-
son ever encountered. New Y'ork managers
are cutting down the players' salaries nearly-
one-third for next season.

A bold German composer, one Herr Eckert,
has had the audacity to attempt a continua-
tion of Weber's "Der Freischutz," entitling
his work, "A New Freischutz."

Quito a number of Chinese and Hindoo
musical instruments are on exhibition at the
Centennial; also a number of instruments
from the islands of the Pacilic Oceaan.

Mapleson, the London opera manager, not
satisfied with his new laurels as inventor of
an army tent, has come out as editor of his
play-bill sheet, called "The Minstrel."

Tlie photographs of Parepa-Rosa have had
a larger sale than those of any other singer
or actress who ever sat iu this country.
Nearly fifty thousand copies have been ob-
tained from one negative.

Caterina Marco (Miss Kato Smith) in the
four months since her engagement at the
Imperial Theatre at Lemburg, has sung in
thirteen operas and thirty representations,
always with good success, and receiving
enthusiastic applause.

A W'elsh war song, very popular in Kist-
eddfodds, begins in this w'sc :

" Fi 1 melll a wIMant yn y ncn,
1 ddaiigos rbawdy darah gerth."
Four singers who attempted it in London,
are now under medical treatment for lock-
jaw.

Caponl owes more to his dramatic i>ower
than his voice. His impassioned style gains
for liim many an encore. It is said that
Nilsson at one time warned him that he
carried his ardor farther tlian stage decorum
allowed by pulling his hair viciously.

At the Exhibition of Arts applied to In-
dustry now being held at Orleans is to be
seen a new transposing cornet-a-piston, in-
vented by the cornet-player Legendre. By
means of a simple slide the instrument can
be immediately transposed from B flat to A.

A monument to Francis Deak, the Hun-
garian statesman, is to be erected at Pesth.
Foreign and native artists have been invited
to send iu designs, and prizes have been
offered for the three best ones. The cost of
the monument is not to exceed 100,000
florins.

Of Rossi's Romeo a London critic says :
"His love for Juliet is finely expressed
throughout ; and the scene in which Romeo,
on the death of Mercutio, meets Juliet's
kinsman and forces him to the encounter is
powerfully given by .Signer Rossi, and pro-
duced an electrical effect."

Chopin concerned himself as much about
the pursuits, occupations and mental habits
of a favorite pupil as about his music. He
once said to a pupil who never cared for
books and did nothing "but practice, " It is
quite useless, nioii ami, to cultivate the fin-
gers when the mind lies barren."

A London paper says: "Mr. Henry Pistin,
after a successful career of twenty years as a
military musical instrument maker in Eng-
land, disposed of his business some time
ago, and is now preparing to leave for the
United States, where he is called to establish
and superintend a monster musical instru-
ment factory."

Charles Stietf of Baltimore, has what ho
calls the oldest piano in this country, on
exhibition at the Centennial. The instru-
ment was made in I T4.'). This is by no means
the oldest keyed instrument in this country.
Mr. John Kevinski, Lancaster, Pa., has a
clavichord, which must bo fifty years older
than the above mentioned piano.

Since the closing of the Paris Conservatory,
M. Ambroiso Thomas has been residing on
his estate at Argenteuil, where lie is giving
the last touches to his score of " Franooise
de Rimini." The orchestration is nearly
finished, and M. Thomas thinks of completing
it on his return from a ."hort trip he intends
making to the archipelago of St. Oildas,
which is situated in ISrittany, and which ho
purehased last year.

There is some talk in Milan of organizing
an association of lyrical composers for the
purpose of removing the obstacles in the
path of poor musicians desirous of writing
for the stage. It appears that in Italy a com-
poser who is unknown or nearly so cannot
in most cases get an opera produced without
paying from four to ten thousand francs,
which the manager demands as a protection
against failure. Aided by subscriptions from
certain generous and wealthy lovers of music,
the association would hire or build a theatre
for lyrical beginners.

EMILIE MELVILLE.

At Baldwin's Academy of Mu.sic, the public
has been favored with English Opera during
the past four weeks, and the repertoire has
included such standard operas as Fra Dia-
volo, The Bohemian GiH^ Mnritana^ and La
Somnambxda, as well as La Pen'cliole and
otlior operas of lighter cast. The star of the
company is Miss Einilie Melville, who was
formerly well and favorably known as an
actress, and whose residence among us has
won for her the esteem of our citizens as a
lady of irreproachable character and superior
attainments. Her operatic studios have been
fjuietly but i)ersevoringly carried forward
and Iior appearance in this city has been
warmly greeted by hor friends, the press and
the public.

In no character has Miss Melville achieved
so marked a success as in "Maritana," where
her personation of the heroine was one of
rare lidelity. Hor acting is fresh, spontan-
eous and never overdrawn, and her singing
is delightful and often brilliant. Her voice
is clear and bird-like, her onvinciation dis-
tinct, and her tones are expressive of deep
feeling. "Scenes that are brightest" was on
each occasion the favorite .solo, and was
ardently encored. We learn that slio will
shortly go to London to accept a lucrative
engagement, where we trust she may become
a " bright particular star" in English Opera.

Miss Jennie Winston as " Lazarillo" .sang
the music of her part conscientiously and
agreeably, and is evidently destined to be-
<^oine a popular vocalist. The illness of Mr.
Theodore Habelniann interfered with her
per.sonation of " Don Cscsar de IJazan," and
his i)ku'c was acceptably lillcd by Mr. Bracy.

'I'iii' remaining clianictcrs in tlie opera
win. not well sustained, but the cliorus anil
orchestra, nnili'r the direction of Prof. (Jco.
T. Kvans, wer<> very good. In (he o|><'ras
previously given, Mr. ilabelmann's melo-
dious voire was heard to great advantage.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

We have heard many complaints of the
non-receipt of the Music.\l Kevibw by our
country subscribers, pa-rticularly in localities
where we have larg? lists, although they are
regularly mailed. We have therefore resolved
to do up the Review in largo packages, for
the country, and to write the subscriber's
name on the magazine, instead of sending
them in separate wrappers as heretofore. If
hereafter any of our subscribers fail to recci\e
any number of the Musical Review, we
will consider it s. personal favor if they will
notify us by letter or postal to that effect.

A CHICAGO PRIMA DONNA.

As Mile. Elanche Ro.savella recently made
her debut, and at the same time a success, in
London in "La Traviata," .and, moreover,
as this ladj' is the first singer of American
birth and parentage Avho has ever appeared
in Covent Garden, some particulars respect-
ing her career will doubtless be acceptable.
The lady's adopted name, "Rosavella," is
an Italianized rendering of Roosevelt, the
maiden name of her motjier.

Mile. Rosavella's real name is Blanche
Tucker. She was born in IS.'iG, at Sandusky
City, Ohio, and is the eldest daughter of
lion. William H. Tucker, of Virginia. Early
in her life Miss Tucker's family took up
their residence in Chicago, which city she
now looks upon as her home, and which in
turn claims her as a daughter. Three years
ago, when Madame Paulino Lucca was sing-
ing in the "Garden City," Mi.ss Tucker was
seized with the desire to sing in puldic, and
with this object in view .sought and obtained
an audience of the great artiste. Madame
Liicca gave ner much encouragement, and
recommended her to lose no time in studying
forthwith for the operatic stage. Further,
Madam Lucca gave her a letter of introduc-
tion to Madame Pauline Viardot. Thus
animated and encouraged, Jliss Tucker pro-
ceeded to Paris, where sho was placed under
the care and protection of the American
Minister, Hon. E. B. Washburne, who accep-
ted the trust. The development of Miss
Tucker's soprano voice has been the pleasing,
and, it is said succos.sful task of Madam
Viardot-Ciarcia and Madam Leonard, of
Paris. Two years after hor arrival in Europe
Miss Tucker entered into an engagement with
Jlr. Gyo as jtrinia donna at Covent (iarden,
and she then wont to Italy for furtherstudy.
In the "land of .song" she became the
favolitc pupil of Trivulzi, friend and pupil
of Knbini and cousin of the celebrated Grisi.

THE COMING PRIMA DONNA.

It is claimed that the coming jirinia donna
lias at last been discovoreil, so far as one can
Judge of a voice in the restricted limits of a
private iiarlor.' The artiste in iiuoslicm is a
young Ulingarian girl, Mile. Etelka Gei'.st<'r

by name, who .sang last season at Teniee as
Ophelia with great success, and who has been
engaged for five years by M. Halonzier.
She was to have made her debut this autumn
in Thomas's " Hamlet," at the Grand Opera,
but owing to the departure of Faure the
revival of that opera has Ijcen postponed,
and Mile. Gerster goes to Madrid on a three
months' leave of absence to sing at the Royal
Opera House. She possesses a noble soprano
voice, full, pure and even in tone, and in-
tensely sympathetic. She received her
musical training from Mme. Marchesi of
Vienna, the teacher of Mile. Kraus and of
other operatic stars. .She is just nineteen,
and without possessing actual beauty her
physiognomy is extremely pleasing. She
has a sweet, serene, fair, pure-looking coun-
tenance, the verj- ideal of Goethe's Margaret,
and has something of Xilsson's " cold celes-
tial grace" about her. We would advise our
impressarii to keep a watchful eye on this
3'oung lady's career.

NEVVSPAPERS AT THE CENTENNIAL.

The .Special Correspondent of the London
Times says it would be difficult to find an
apterillu.stration of the bigway in w liich the
Americans do things that that furnished by
the "Centennial Newspaper Building," in
the Exhibition grounds. Here you may see
any one, or, if you like, all of the 8,129
newspapers jHiblishcd regularly in the United
States, and sec them, one and all, for nothing!
You are not only permitted as a favor to see
them, but invited, nay, pressed, to confer
the favor of entering the building and calling
for wliat paper you like. It is about as cool
and agreeable a place — quite ajiart from its
literary attractions— as a visitor to the Exhibi-
tion could wish to be offrred a chair in. He
may at first wonder how, among 8,000 papers,
among them such mighty .sheets as the New
York Herald, he is to get at the small, loved
print of his homo, thousands of miles away,
it may be, over the Rocky Mountains. But
the management is so simple that, by con-
sulting the catalogue, or even without the
aid of the catalogue, any ono can at one find
whatever paper he wants. They are pigeon-
holed on shelves in the alphabetical order of
their .States or Territories and their towns,
the names of which are clearly labelled on
the shelves. The proprietors of the Centcn-.

agents, the largest in all America — Messrs.

MISS ELLEN D. COUKSKN.

A young Californian lady, Miss Ellen U.
Coursen, an amateur whose musical genius
has been acknowledged bj' our best artists;
announces a concert to be given on the 5th
of December at Piatt's Hall, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Joseph Rekel, on which occasion
Miss Coursen will appear as violinist and
pianist in some of the most trying pieces of
Jenny Clans, W'ieniawski, Thalberg and
Mendelssohn. Miss Ivy Wandesforde, Sig-
ner Tagliapietra and many others of our best
artists will also appear on that occasion.

MISS FANNIE AULD.

A really superior professional reader and
elccutionist is always a great accession to this
Coast, and we are pleased to announce that
Miss Fannie Auld, whose public readings
have met with warm encomiums from the
press and public of New York and other
Eastern cities, is now in this city on a visit
to her friends, and has decided to take pui>ils
in elocution at her rooms. No. 1722 Bush
Street. We have heard Miss Auld give
private readings on two occasions, and hope
she may soon favor the public with her
excellent personations.

MUSICAL NOTES.

GiLMORE has engaged Johnny McKensie
the Cnliforniatenoi','who with Miss Thursbj-,
goes with him on a tour through England,
Scotland and Ireland.

Mr. William Lyster, the Australian
Manager, brother of our "Fred" has made
the snug little sum of £250,000 during his
sojourn in the Antipodes. Good enough !

Minnie Walton, Lytton Sothern and
Frep. Lyster are now on their way to Syd-
ney and Melbourne. After their tour
through the Colonies, they come to San
Francisco and thence back to London.

Sims Reeves, the groat Engli.sh tenor has
been ottered and accepted an engagement
for the Australian Colonics. He gets §05,000
in gold, for 50 concerts, or fl500 for each
performance. He leaves England on the 1st
of Juno, 1877. After his Australian trij) ho
comes to California.

Madame ANN.'k. Bishop has been left a
legacy of five thousand dollars by a Jlrs.
Bray, of Adelaide, South Australia. Mrs.
Bray was the proprietress of a large family
hotel, a most excellent woman, and a great
admirer of the talented cantatrice, who is
now singing in Africa ! — or on her way to
England, from the Diamond Fields.

Lucy Hooper, the clever Paris correspon-
dent of several New York papers, writes that
they have found at last the coming prima
donna. She is a young Austrian lady — and
the old story — poor but proportionately
"honest," eighteen years of age, but unfor-
tunately of an unpronouneeably, difficult,
and never-to-be-written or spelt name !

Mrs. Edna Hall, a great favorite at tlie
leading London concerts, contemplates a
return to America this winter. She has been
offered a large amount by the Boston Phil-
harmonic to sing for the entire season at their
forthcoming performances. She is a native
of Virginia, and one of the most magnificent
looking women imaginable, and gifted witli
a voice of exquisite tone, register and com-
pass.

AVE acknowledge the receipt, with thanks,
from "Cramer & Co.," the English publish-
ers of Regent Street, of two songs by Mr.
Stephen Massett, recently published by that
house in Londofi. They are called " 'Tis but
OF YOU I dream" and "Found thee but
TOO l.\te." They are charming comjjosi-
tions, suitable for aTiigli tenor, or contralto,
and will certainly become great favorites in
the concert room.

Mr. Franklin Philp, who entertained
for so many years in Washington, all the
leading musical celebrities, and at whose
hospitable mansion some of the most delight-
ful musical soirees were given, is now per-
manently residing in this city, intending to
make it his future home. He is the elder
brother of the celebrated English composer
Miss Elizabeth Philp, whom " Grace Green-
wood" wrote about in the N. Y. Times, and
which in our last number we referred to.
Mr. Philp at present is connected with the
Navy Pay Department, with Col. Cunning-
ham U. S. N.

Music in the Mountains. — Prof. Hand
is doing a good work this winter, in the
mountain towns of North Bloomfield, North
San Juan, and Camptonvillc. He not only
aims at the i)leasure aftbrded by an occasional
musical entertainment, but pays special
attention to the rudiments of music, and the
cultivation of the voice. We find in traveling
through tlie country, very many ready read-
ers of music, who seem entirely ignorant of
the nature of musical tones, and of the proper
mode of producing them. Prof. Hand aims
to meet with these requirements, by giving
pi-ivato lessons, in the cultivatitn and proper
use of the voice, and also in vocalization, as
well as teaching in classes. Wo can but

commend any one who is honestly engaged
in such work, and bid them a hearty good-
speed. V. 8.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

There has been recently incorporated in
Boston an association of teachers and others
interested in the introduction of the Metric
weights and measures, under the name of the
American Metric Bureau. Art. 2 of its
constitution reads as follows : —

"The object of this Bureau shall be to
disseminate information concerning the Met-
ric System; to urge its early adoption, and
to bring about actual introductions wherever
practicable. To this end it will secure the
delivery of addres.ses ; publish articles ; cir-
culate books, pamphlets and charts ; distri-
bute scales and measures; introduce the
practical teaching of the system in schools ;
and in all proper ways, as far as the means
at its disposal will allow, the Bureau will
urge the matter upon the attention of the
American people till they shall join the rest
of the woi-ld in the exclusive use of the Inter-
national Decimal Weights and Measures."

This Bureau already includes among its
members many of our prominent educators,
and its numbers are rapidly increasing. An
office has been opened at 13 Tremont place,
Boston, and as soon as suitable arrangements
can be made, branch offices are to be opened
in New Y'ork, Philadelphia, Chicago, and
other central localities, where all persons
interested are invited to call or to write freely
in regard to any matter pertaining to the
work of the Bureau.

A Liverpool choir had just begun Handel's
chorus, "He saw the lovely youth," at a
Crystal Palace concert, when a member of
the chorus band tumbled down two or three
steps of the orchestra. As the first announce-
ment of the mishap was a couple of feet
swinging in the air, the audience broke into
a laugh which nearly unnerved the choir,
and was renewed when, upon arriving at the
words, "The youth begins to rise," the un-
fortunate cause of all the merriment picked
himself up.

The tale is told that Mme. Carvalho had
been engaged to sing at a grand wedding in
church, but the archbishop refused to allow
a lady to sing in a Roman Catholic chnrcli.
Tills was a sad blow, but the great lady
whom it annoyed was equal to the emergency.
She prevailed on Mme. Carvalho to hide
herself behind the organ, and then put a
lad, with a missal in his hand, to stand up
in the choir and pretend to sing, while the
prima donna poured forth her enchanting
notes. The ruse was an Immense success,
and the archbishop proved no match for
the woman.

Music at Home.

Prof. Trover's Recital. — At Banoroft's
Music Rooms on the 7th ult., Prof. Charles
Troyer gave a Piano Recital to his friends,
and an elaborate programme was presented.
The "Meditation on Bacli's Prelude" by
Gounod, for piano, violin and organ, by Miss
Marie Withrow, Mr. Robert Uhlig and Prof.
Troyer, was a most finished performance.
Mr. Uhlig also played two violin solos with
his usual beauty of execution. Miss Maria
R. Wood sang a Wallachian song " La Sere-
nada" with taste. Selections on i)iano were
given by Prof. Troj'er's pupils. Misses
Josephine Yehl, Ella F. Cottle, Fannie
Bloomingdale, Rosie Greenewald, Katie and
Marie Yerdon, and considering the limited
practice of the pupils, were very creditable.
The Grand Fantaisie on "Norma" byMisse.s
Y'ehl and Cottle, was so finely rendered as to
deserve esi^ecial mention. These recitals by
Prof. Troyer are very entertaining to his
invited guests.

Musical Entertainment.— The regular
monthly meeting of the Literary Society
attached to the First Congregational Church,
Rev. Dr. A. L. Stone, Pastor, was held on
the 27th ult. The exercises were varied and
interesting. The musical part of the enter-
tainment possessed superior merit. The
singing of Miss Emma Duft', of the aria
"Noble Donna" from tlio Jliiyncnnts, was
so excellent as to elicit an ardent encore, to
wliich she responded with "When the .Swal-
lows Homeward Fly." The sweetness and
power of Miss DutTs voice were apparent
wlien she was a pupil at the Rincon Grammar
School; and now under the instruction of
Prof. Carl Formes, she is attaining a superior
culture, and is one of our most promising
amateurs. Miss Lena Hoft'man, one of the
youngest of our pianists, jjlayed several
selections with a skill and expression beyond
her j'ears, and was warmly applauded.

Autumnal Praise Service. — On the 8th
ult., at tlie Central Methodist Church, Rev.
Frank F. Jewell, Pastor, a Praise Service
was given, on wliicli occasion the congrega-
tion, under the leadership of Mr. C. P.
Codington, were assisted by tlie Apolto Glee
Society, under the direction of Prof. Wash-
ington Elliot. The house was densely
crowded, and the congregational singing was
most effective and enthu.siastic, "Old Hun-
dred," "Duke Street," "Shining Shore,"
" Hallelujah Chorus" and " America" being
given. Tlie Apollo Glee Society, which has
had fine iiractice, presented the antliems,
" Rejoice, 0 Lord" and "Thine, O Lord, is
the Greatness," and Mozart's Twelfth Mass.
The "Hymn of Peace," a quartette, was
finely Sung by Miss Laura Wiuall, Miss Bell,
Prof. W. Elliot and Mr. tiutliug. "Ave
Miiriu" was given as a solo by Miss Amelia
I. Block with unusual beauty of expression.
Miss Susio A. Bocman sang the solo "Mar-
velous Works," and Miss Addle Irish the

solo "Come ye disconsolate," both in ex-
cellent taste. The soloists were all in good
voice, and made an exceedingly favorable
impression. Rev. Mr. Jewell made a few
appropriate remarks. The audience listened
with the closest attention, and the praise
service was an entire success.

Musical Soiree. — On the 12th ult., a so-
cial and musical soiree was given by Mr. and
Mrs. J. J. Cook, at their residence, No. 1722
Bush Street, in honor of the arrival of Miss
Fannie Auld, a professional reader and elo-
cutionist, from New Y'ork, Tlie jmrlors were
filled with invited guests, and the following
programme was presented: " Fantaisie sur
Somnambula," violin solo, Mr. E. Lobe;
"Alice," song, Mr. A. Hossaek; "Ave
Maria," trio for flute, violin and piano. Dr.
J. H. Stallard, Mr. T. J. Duffy and Mr. C.
S. Hoffman; "Pique Dame" overture, for
piano, flute, first and second violin. Miss
Josie Brown, Dr. Stallard, Mr. Lobe and
Mr. Duffy; " Embarrassment," song. Miss
Marie Withrow ; "Angel's Serenade," song,
by Miss Mamie Bryant. The execution both
vocal and instrumental, was of superior char-
acter, especially Miss Withrow's song and
the trio, and was greeted with applause.
Mr. Z. Ackerman gave laughable imitations
of leading actors. Miss Auld recited " Cur-
few must not ring to-night" with an emphasis
and distinctness which we have rarely heard
equaled, and whicli displayed groat elocu-
tionary ability. At the close of the musical
and literary exercises, elegant refreshments
were ser\-ed to the guests, and dancing fol-
lowed until a late hour, in which nearly all
participated.

Concert at Napa.— .V concert for the
benefit of the liibrary Association was given
at tlio Baptist Church in Napa on the 10th
ult. Two marked features of this excellent
concert were the piano .solos " Last Rose of
Summer" by Miss M. S. llubbell of the
Ladies' Seminary, and "Blue Bells of Scot-
land," by Miss Ro.sa M. Staccy of the Colle-
giate Institute, wliidi would ha\e done credit
to any public concert in this city. A duel
for violin and piano, "William Tell" by
Mr. and Mrs. Matthiou was very finely exe-
cuted. A baritone solo by Mr. Charles B.
Stone of this city was sung in his usual
excellent style. A double quartette, "Song
of tlie Lark," was well rendered by Misse
Gray, Fowler and Easterly, Mrs. Spencer
Prof. Packard, Prof. Wallcer, Mr. Perkiii
and Mr. Fellers. A song by Mr. C. A. Darby
was very sweetly and expressively sung,
and Miss Fowler was encored for her execu-
tion of " Y'g Merry Birds." Mr. Thurston
appeared to advantage botli in a solo and
duet, Mrs. Spencer in a song and tlie Orplieus
Club sang a (luarlctte. Tlie Misses Easterly
ga\e a piano duct and I'rof. l!ui-k read an
entertaining selection. The aiulicncc was
very largo and ontliusia.sti<r, and llio concert
was a uomplclc success musically and linun-
cially.

Mr. McKenzie's Concert. — A farewell
Concert was given by Mr. John W. McKenzie
Jr., prior to his departure forthe East, at Paci-
fic Hall on the 17tli in.st. , and in spite of a rainy
evening it drew a good house. The pro-
gramme was one of unusual length, and was
for the most part well executed. A promi-
nent feature of the concert was a composition
of Mr. F. G. Games, with cornet obligato,
written for and sung by Mr. Sanford S.
Bennett, who is a powerful baritone, and it
was heartily encored. Mr. McKenzie did
full justiceto Verdi's " Ballo Maschera" and
other pieces, which received encores. Miss
Linda Mott, a j'oung lady of thirteen, whose
powerful and sympathetic mezzo-soprano
voice we have heretofore noticed, sang " Lu
Vasillo" with such expression as to delight
the audience. This young lady has a grand
mu.sical future, if she receives careful cult lire,
and if she will avoid singing too much. Mr.
J. C. Williams sang the tenor solo, " Winds
that waft my sighs to thee," with combined
power and smoothness, and with superior
expression. Miss Lilly H. Post was very
effective in a solo and a duet, and Mr. Walter
Mead gave a song with excellent taste. Miss
Jennie Gumpertz, Miss Belle McGinness,
Mrs. A. E. Muse, Mr. Bouvet and Mr. Borel
also favored the audience with vocal selec-
tions, and Seiior Mauro Solano played the
Harp solo, " Mandolinata." Mr. Harry
Nienian gave a comic recitation which
agreeably diversified the exercises. We wish
Mr. McKenzie a prosperous musical career
in the East.

As we were unable to attend Mr. Mor-
gan's Concert, we gladly give place to the
following criticism handed to us by a friend.
[Ed. Review.

Prof. Moho.vn's Concert in Oakland.^
Mr. John P. Morgan's second Orchestral
and \'ocal Concert drew a crowded house at
Dietz Hall, in Oakland, on Thursday Oct.
2iith. It is ratlior an unusual thing for
Oakland to patronize liberally an entertain-
ment, when good music is the only attraction.
The weather ou that evening was so stormy
that it affected both instruments and voices
to a considerable extent. The Welier Grand
Piano seemed to stand alone above climatic
influences, its tone being, as usual, wonder-
fully clear, pure and brilliant. Such was
the effect of the atmosphere that night on
the other instruments, that even Mr. Schlott,
the best French horn player in California
and perhaps in America, was unable on this
account to do full justice to his orchestral
part. Beethoven's magnificent Symphony
(No. 2) ill D was the first piece on tlie pro-
gramme. Much hesitation was felt in the
lir.st inovcmenl, especially in the hautbois
and violin parts so difficult to master. Tlie
following movements were very well ren-
dered; the hinjlulto — ;i real jHicm of luve—
was played by nil with such feeling and
ensemble as to put the whole audieucc uudcr
a spell. Much praise is due to Mr. Morgan

Sherman &• Wyde's Musical Review.

for his excellent conducting and for his true
conception of that symphony. It was easy
to perceive by the attention bestowed by tlio
audience to tlie whole work, that many a fair
listener was acquainted with the piano ar-
rangement of it. The voices in the glees did
not sound as clear as they may have sounded
in ordinary weather; however, Mr. Morgan's
descriptive composition "The Winds" was
given with fine effect. The event of the
evening was Sterndale Bennett's piano con-
certo in F minor, which, from the first chord
of the piano solo to the conclusion of the whole
work, was rendered with a perfection not
often met in this country. Mr. Vollmer
Hoffmeyer is indeed a pianist of the " true
water" combining brilliancy, power, finish
and elegance. The delicacy of his touch
could not be surpassed, and his crescendos,
overwhelming the whole orchestra like a
stream, are marvelous. Mr. Hollineyer was
the object of a real ovation at the conclusion
of tliis splendid work. An Interlude, during
which Mr. Morgan unfortunately left his
baton to Mr. Widmere, turned out anything
but a treat. Zickoft's Gavotte was played
much too loud. Loreley by Strauss was
given without any conception of its beauty.
Mr. Pred. Bornemann sang very creditably
the aria from Figaro's Hoehzeit. Gluck's
cantabile "Che faro senza Euridice" was
well rendered by Mrs. W. C. Little. It is a
pity that the recitativo was not left out in
this imrticular case.

THE TRILL.

By W. K. WLeeler.

Of all the charming embellishments of the
human voice none are so delightful as a
good, genuine TriU, given so rtuently, as to
assume a natural flow of rapture and joy, or
pain and grief, from the soul within.

Nature and art seem united therebj', like
the harmonious tints of the rainbow.

Kings and Queens cast their crowns at the
foet of those who can warble a perfect Trillo.
Without the ability to execute a good artistic
trill, no lady can attain a high reputation in
song, or before the footlights of the lyiic
stage.

With it, she has a license to charm the
world. No great proficiency can be attained
without it, as the power to trill properly lies
at the foundation of a correct method of
vocalization.

Nearly all the published methods of vocal
culture to be met with in this country, leave
to the last their versions and exercises to
instruct a student in the art of trilling, and
go no farther than teacliing how to mentally
read and write the way to execute a trilled
passage.

I desire to call the reader's attention to the
trill stroke of the voice and how to develope
it, and in what manner it is produced.

Oarcia in his very valuable and elaborate
vocal Method (page .38) says "The shake
(Trill) is obtained by a curious mechanism ;
it consists of a rapid, free and regular oscilla-
tion of the larynx up and down outside the
neck." Here he leaves the student by adding
numerous examples of what can be done
with the trill stroke — -adding, very properly,
" the opinion of many is, that the trill is a
nitural gift and that singers not endowed
with this graceful ornament should not
attempt it," and that "this opinion is quite
erroneous;" in which I fully concur: but
that the visible motion of the larynx up and
down, while. trilling by a proper method is
caused by a pecuhar mechanism of tlie vocal
organs, I must beg to disagree, and assume,
the motion noted is vibratorv onlv. No

audible sound can be produced by the larynx
without vibrating the whole vocal structure,
hogd, chest and spine. The motion of the
larynx Is caused by the sharp action of the
trill stroke, given by the palate. If the
throat be examijied by an executant while
trilling, the quick action, back and forward,
of the soft palate, can be seen as it breaks
tlie tone from the glottis, and produces the
trill appogiatura, and no other action of the
vocal organs is required.

By directing the mind to the peculiar feel-
ing produced by the trill stroke, the student
soon gains a mastery over this rare gem of
the voice and learns to call the trill appoy-
giatura on any note of the scale at pleasure.
A good intelligent trill given by a teacher is
of great value to the pupil.

The different manner in which a trill stroke
is given from ordinary vocalizing, constitutes
its charming effect on the ear. You seize a
note precisely as if to hold, and with the
rapid inflections of the palate the appogia-
tura is produced, making nsuallj- four to a
quarter note in moderato time, wliich would
give eight notes — or thirty-two — in 4-4 time,
including the turn usually required on each
note. The palate stroke can augment the
pitch of its stroke to any part of the span of
an octave with equal rapidity ; thus it will be
seen how the very rapid passages in runs,
skips and cadences are accomplished by
some of the "Vocal Stars" of the past and
present,

A note trilled on a violin nearly shows the
action of the vocal structure in trilling. The
bow being drawn steadily while the quick
play of a finger on the string produces its
appogiatura (trill stroke), always the strong
l>art of any division of the time.

Man3' good singers use the trill stroke in
rendering rapid passages and yet cannot call
it on a sustained note. They cannot direct
the mind to hold steadily on the note while
its appogiatura is struck with the palate.
Their examples of trilling often exhibit a
maze of confusion, an exhiljili.m of feeling
perfectly senseless and disgusting. Trillo
is an Italian word which signifies to shake.
This term has led many erroneously to sup-
pose that trilling was shaking the voice by a
kind of tremulous action of the vocal organs.
A tremolo voice may be effective when added
to a perfect trill, but is very objectionable
when used as a substitute. The action of
the palate is so closely allied to our intuitive
nature or feelings, that at a glance of the eye,
a note, however rapid or remote, within the
range of the voice, with culture, can be given
with unerring certainty. After gaining com-
mand of ihe trill stroke, care is necessary
not to overtask it by singing too long on trill
exercises. At first it will be sharp and un-
pleasant to the ear — but soon softens down
into rapid and sweet flexibility.

The student should be able, before com-
mencing directly the trill appogiatura, to
sing by a correct method, scales in sequences
fluently, up to 120 Maelzel's metronome;
having the chest, falsetto and head registers
clearly untied and all contraction of the
tongue and throat subdued.

See that the corners of the mouth are
slightly drawn upward by contracting the
muscles of the cheeks, widening the nostrils
thereby, and preventing a nasal mixture to
the tone — seek for quality, not quantity — for
quality is quantity. Be resolved to gain the
execution of your exercises absolutely perfect.
In making skips of major and minor thirds,
try to realize the touch of the palate against
the larynx, for when you fully identify it,
you will liegin to call it at pleasure and
liring it uinler complete control. This ac-
enm|.lishcil, your work then will be delight-
fully easy in acquiring the ability to give the

trill appogiatura of every note in the scale at
sight. From this point of your studies you
may learn all the refinement of a perfect
trill — the very highest Taranch of vocal cul-
ture. Remember that "success is a dutv."

There should be Music in every
Household.

BUT, you say, " My children
have no taste for music." Neither
did they have a taste for algebra,
arithmetic, or geography, yet you
sent them to school, kept them
studying year after year, and did
not consider the time and money
wasted. Any person who has
mental capacity enough to master
the simplest arithmetical problem,
can acquire a musical education.
We do not mean to assert that
everybody can become great in
the musical profession, and neither
is it desirable that they should,
but they can, at least, learn to
sing and play Sunday School and
Church hymns, or simple melodies
of other kinds, which, to them
would be as great a delight as
difficult pieces to more skillful
players. The object of all educa-
tion is, primarily, the discipline of
the mind, for which purpose your^
children are taught geometry,
geology, algebra and kindred sci-
ences, which they forget entirely,
in a few years, and of which they
could make no practical use, did
they remember them. Of how
much greater benefit, then, is the
study of music, which not only
disciplines tlie mind, but fits the
young man or woman to adorn
society, makes them welcome to
every social gathering, and affords
constant pleasure to themselves
and friends. The time will soon
come, when the study of music
will be as much a part of a com-
mon school education as the study
of music.

DEAD.

" She is dead!"' they said to lilm ; " Cnmc away ;

KiBG her and leave her— thy love is clay!"

They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair;

On her forehead of stone they laid it fair ;

Over the eyes which gazed too much,

They drew the lids with a gentle touch ;

With a tender touch they closed up well

The sweet, thin lips that had secrets to tell ;

About her brown and beautiful face

They tied her veil and her marriage lace ;

And drew on her feet the white Bilk shoes—

Which were the whitest— no eye could choosel

And over her bosom they crossed her hands—

" Come away," they said, " God understands!"

And there was silence, and nothing there

But silence, and scents of eglantere.

And iasmine. and roses, and rosemary.

.Ind'they said, " As a lady should lie, lies she."

And thev held their breath as they left the room

With a shudder, to glance at its stillness and gloom.

But he who loved her too well to dread

The sweet, the stately and beautiful dead,—

He lit his lamp and took his key

And turned it. Alone again— he and she.

He and she ; vet she would not speak.

Though he kissed, in the old place, the quiet cheek.

He and she ; but she would not smile.

Though he called her the name she loved erewhilo.

He and she ; still she did not move

To any passionate whisper of love.

Then he said, '' Cold lips and breast without breath,

Is there no voice? no language of death?

'■ Dumb to the ear and still to the sense.

But to heart and soul distinct, i:itense?

' ' See now ; I will listeif with soul , not ear ;

What was the secret of dying, dear?

" Was it the infinite wonder of all

That you ever could let life's flower fall ?

" Or was it the greater marvel to feel

The perfect calm o'er the agony steal?

" Was the miracle greater to find how deep

Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep?

"Did life roll back its record, dear?

And show, as they say it does, past things clear?

•' And was it the innermost heart of the bliss

To find out so, what a wisdom love is ?

" O, perfect dead! O, dead most dear!

I hold the breath of my soul to hear!

" I listen as deep as to horrible hell.

As high as to heaven, and you do not tell

" There must be pleasure in dying, sweet.

To make you so placid from head to feet.

"I would tell you. darling, if I were dead.

And 't were your hot tears on my brow shed.

" I would say, though the angol of death had laid

His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid.

■' You should not ask vainly, with streaming eyes.

Which of all death's was the chiefcst surprise ;

The very strangest and suddenest thing

Of all surprises dying must bring."

Ah, foolish world ! O, most kind dead !

Though he told me, who will believe it was said?

"Who will believe what he heard her say.

With the sweet, soft voice, in the dear old way?

" The utmost wonder is this ; I hear.

And see you, and love you, and kiss you, dear;

*' And am your angel, who was your bride.

And know that though dead I have never died."

RICHARD WAGNER.

BY CHAPI.AIN W. S. HOLWAY, U. S. N.

.lust now, tho intfi-est of all lovers of music
is centred on the quaint and quiet old town
of Bayroutli in Bavaria, the^liome of Wagner,
anil tho sceno of his proudest triumph.

Descriptions of his queerly-built theatre,
painfully uncoutli in its shape and style of
architecture, but modeled most perfectly for
its purpose; of liis lastand grandest compo-
sition, the Ring of the Nibelungen; of the
remarkable success of the great " festival ;"
and of the profound impression made by it
on the musical world — all this has been
transmitted, by electric wire and correspon-
dent's pen, with such fullness of detail that
the name of the great composer has become,
within a few weeks, almost a household
word. To trace the footprints of a life like
his is always stimulating and instructive.

Richard Wagner was born in Leipsie, in a
house which still bears his name, on tHe 22d
of May, 181.3. His earliest years struck the
key-note of his maturer life. The struggle
with poverty and hardship and disappoint-
ment began almo.st witli his first conscious-
ness. He lost his father while an infant ;
and his step-father, a portrait painter named
Ludwig Geyer, died before he had passed
the period of youth. At the age of thirteen
his name -nas enrolled in the Kreuzscliulc,
in Dresden, but lie gained there no reputation
as a scholar ; his imagination was too vivid
and restless for studious application. Still
he was far from being idle. He tried paint-
ing, but with no promise of success ; then he
became a playwright, and having acquired
a sufficient smattering of English to read
Shakespeare, produced a most astounding
tragedy, in which "he murdered forty-two
persons in the course of his piece, and had
to let most of them reappear as ghosts in the
last acts for want of living characters."
Music next wooed him. The performance
of Weber's Der Freischuetz was the first to
awaken his musical cravings,and Beethoven's
symphonies completed the conquest. Thence-
forward he devoted himself, heart and soul,
to the study and composition of music.

At this point the real battle of his life be-
gan. His peculiar genius soon evolved ideas
which were deemed to be at variance with
established laws, and every attempt which
he made to incorporate these ideas in musical
composition was received -ivith derision and
contempt. Years of toil and failure and
biting poverty — too painful to dwell upon,
fell to his lot. Only now and tlien a transient
gleam of success brightened his path. But
liis faith in the truth of his ideas never fal-
tered, and his was tho

" Resolve that through the darkness gees right on
True to its xiurpose, leaving hope's dead dust
lleddouing with blood-sweat."

In 1839 we find him in Paris, with two
rejected operas on his hands, befriended by
no musician save Meyerbeer, froni whom lie
had letters of introduction, and reduced to
the verge of starvation. A music pulilisher,
one Maurice Schlesinger, came to the rescue,
and found him employment in writing songs
and music for inferior parts in tlie theatre ;
but the employment did not last long. His
compositions were set aside as being too ec-
centric and fantastic to suit the popular taste.
For a brief season he abandoned the field to
earn his bread by writing novels and critical
notes in the Gazette Musicale; in this he was
successful, but his heart was not in literary
work. In 1842, his Eienzi received tardy
recognition at Dresden, and, as the result of
its exhibition, lie was appointed Kapellmeis-
ter to the King of Saxony. Encouraged by
this success, he devoted himself to the pro-
duction of a work which should especially
embody his ideas and convictions of art, and,
in 1845, his Tannhauser was completed. It
failed, however, to win the popular favor,
and gained for its author only a storm of
hostile criticism.

His next elaborate work, Lohengrin, had
scarcely been written, when the unhappy
composer was exiled from Dresden for his
ardent political partisanship in the revolution
of 1849. He found a refuge in Zurich. Here
ten years of his life were passed in compara-
tive quiet, during which he completed Lohen-
grin, and composed the libretto and part of
the music of tlie Nibelungen. Here, too, he
won the friendship and the enthusiastic dis-
^ipleship of the great pianist, whose daughter
he married, and by whose zealous advocacy
his operas were presented at Weimar, and a
new school in art formed which bore his
name. From this time his music began to
win, slowly but surely, a general and widen-
ing attention. Artists began to study his
compositions, and believers in his views
were multiplied. On this side of the Atlantic
he has found in Mr. Theodore Thomas an
intelligent and fervid interpreter of liis
music.

A few years ago Wagner had the good for-
tune to meet with the music-loving Louis,
King of Bavaria. Since then the cloud has
risen from his life. Bj' the generosity of his
royal patron he has been allowed to devote
himself exclusively to his art studies. Every
facility has been granted to him. A beauti-
ful house of pure white niarble has been
built and furnished in palatial style — a haven

priately named Wahnfricd, "peace of mind."

A homelesB, troubled a^e, the gray,

Pale setting of a weary day ;

Too dull his ear for voice of praiee,

Too Badly worn hie bro* for bays.
Some traces of bitterness still remain —
stamped too deeply by the tedious struggle
of nearly a half-century of unappreciated
toil to be lightly effaced, but neither mind
nor body shows signs of abating vigor.

The noblest monument to his genius is
tlie great theatre, the corner-stone of which
was laid on his fifty-ninth birthday (May 22,
1872), and which, despite its awkward exte-
rior, is, undoubtedly, the most perfectly
planned temple of music in the world.
Never was a building erected in which every
detail was made so rigidly subservient to
the purposes of its construction. No super-
fluous decoration in the audience room has
been permitted, lest the attention of the lis-
tener should be detracted for a moment from
the exhibition itself. On the other hand,
the mechanism for dramatic and scenic effect
surpasses in variety and magnificence any-
thing heretofore attempted. It is impossible,
in this hasty sketch, to give, even in briefest
outline, a description of the interior arrange-
ments. Some idea may be gained of the size
and grandeur of the building from the fol-
lowing statement: The structure has cost
over 300,000 thalers ; the bill for water and
gas fixtures and steam machinery for the
stage, foots up about 90,000 thalers ; the area
occupied comprises 0,000 square yards; in
the auditorium are 1,350 seats; the stage
occupies half the building, is lighted by over
3,000 gas burners, and is elevated to a
height about twice that of the auditorium.
The most remarkable peculiarity, perhaps,
is the locating the orchestra room (which
has accomodations for over 100 performers)
below the stage, and out of sight of the au-
dience, thus mellowing the music, and
adding the charm of an invisible cause.

The echoes of the great "festival" by
which this building was dedicated to its uses,
and in which was inaugurated a new era in
the lyric art, have hardly yet died away.
Under his own superb leadership, and assis-
ted by the choicest artists of Germany,
Wagner's grandest composition, the Nibcl-
ungen-Ring has been successfully given to
the world. Ten years were spent in its ela-
boration ; and four evenings were required
for its performance. The work is at once
too massive and intricate to be outlined hero ;
it is sufficient to say that it consists of a pro-
logue, Rheingolcl, and a trilogy — Wallcucre,
Siegfried, Gcetterdaemmerung, and the repre-
sentations of its successive parts were atten-
ded by the most brilliant audiences ever
gathered in Germany. The emperors of
Germany and Brazil, the king of Bavaria,
the flower of Iho German nobility, Liszt and
Gminod and otlur Icadcis in the musical

world, were among the number that graced
the triumph of tlie great composer. At the
banquet given to his honor, on the evening
of the 18th inst., at Bayreuth, a wreath of
silver and laurel was placed on his brow — a
symbol of the higher coronation which his
followers accord to him in the realm of
musical art.

It is extremely difficult to describe the
peculiarities of Wagner's music. With him
art is supreme, and he, therefore, never con-
descends to write an opera to suit the voice
of an individual singer, or the capabilities of
a particular theatre. Both singer and theatre
must yield to art. It is a great ambition
with him to found a school of German art.
Further, to give effect to his artistic concep-
tions ever3' dramatic resource is pressed into
service, and great stress is placed on orches-
tration. There is, probably, no finer instru-
mental music in the world than Wagner's.
But the music must have a meaning, even
at the expense of melody and rhythm ; hence
the common complaint of the absence of
well-defined melodies in the new music.
Another important feature is the substitution
of a myth or fantasy for the traditional love
story, as the basis of the plot. — Zion's

EMMA ABBOTT AND GOUNOD.

The Composer's Appreciation of an American Girl's

Singing.

[From the Chicago Tribune.]

Gounod, the composer of "Faust," resides
in London.

" Can I see M. Gounod ?" The questioner
was Emma Abbott, who, unaccompanied,
and without a letter of introduction, rang
the bell of M. Gounod's residence. The
servant handed her a card with blanks to
be filled up, on which was printed " your
name," "residence," "by whom intro-
duced," etc. Mi.ss Abbott handed the card
back to tlie servant.

" I don't want to sign that. I want to see
M. Gounod."

A sharp voice came from the head of the
stairs. It proceeded from Madame Weldon,
M. Gounod's self-constituted guardian.
"What do you want?"

Miss Abbott ran up the stairs. " I want
to see M. Gounod, and sing to him. I am
an American girl."

" You can not sing, child," .said Madame
Weldon, "and you can not see M. Gounod."

"Oh! I can. I can sing the .lowel Song in
'Faust.' Won't you ploase hoar me?"

" I say, child," repeated Madame Weldon,
severely, "you can not sing; there is only
one person living who can sing that song."

"Oh!" said Miss Abbott, "you mean
Patti."

' ' Patti ?" ( with a sh rug). " Patti is nothi ng
but a music box — she can't sing."

" Then you moan Nilsson."

"Nilsson? No! Ilor voice is worn out
long ago!"

"Who can it be then?" and Miss Abbott's
eyes expressed her curiosity.

"It is myself — Madame Weldon."

"Oh, Mrs. Weldon, won't you please sing
it for me ? I would so like to hear you!"

Madame Weldon led the way to the piano.
She sang, and Miss Abbott applauded.

" Now, Mrs. Weldon, you shall hear me
sing." And suiting the action to the word,
Miss Abbott began the Jewel Song, She
had proceeded but a few bars, when Madame
^\■eldon tried to stop her. " There, there,
child, stop; you can not sing." Suddenly
a voice from the top of the next flight of
stairs called out: "Weldon! Weldon! who
have you got there?" Before Madame Wel-
don could reply, Miss Abbott shot past her
and up the stairs. "Oh, M. Gounod, it is I,
Emma Abbott, an American girl, and I want
to sing for you ! ' '

Madame Weldon had followed her up the
stairs and tried to stop her.

"She can not sing, M. Gounod, and I want
her to go away."

" She shall not go away," replied Gounod,
"and she shall sing."

He then seated himself at the piano, and
began the accompaniment. He played it as
Miss Abbott had never before heard it played.
She began the song ; Madame Weldon again
tried to stop her, but Gounod forbade her
interrupting. Hesaid, " Miss Abbott should
not leave the house till she had sung the
song." He again commenced the accom-
paniment, and told Miss Abbott to sing.
Uttering an inward prayer, she obeyed. It
was a favorite opera, and she threw into the
song all her power and feeling. When she
concluded, her eyes were full of tears. Gou-
nod rose from the piano, and took her by
both hands. He said, " Miss Abbott, you
have sung my song better than I have ever
heard it sung !" He then took from a drawer
an elegantly bound copy of " Faust." " My
child," said he, " I want yoti to accept this
from me." Seating himself at his talUe, he
took a pen and wrote in the frontis|iiece ;

MISS GERTRUDE CORBETT.

This lady's debut in English Opera, took
all New York by storm. Appearing in the
arduous role of " Norma" — less than a month
after Mile. Tietjen.-^' performance of the same
character — before an audience more than
half composed of singers and musicians who
had confessedly come to have a " good time
and a hearty laugh at the green girl's failure,
she conquered them and compelled them to
render her the flattering tribute of their un-
willing applause and admiration.

passed in Minnesota. From early girlhood
her magnificent voice was tlie wonder and
admiration of her acquaintances and musi-
cians ; and at a comparatively early age,
with only the insufficient teaching which
could be obtained in that western portion of
the country, she received and accepted the
offer of an engagement with Ole Bull, the
violinist, with whom she travelled for a sea-
son under the name of Gertrude Orme,
achieving everywhere great success. Too
much of an astist at heart to be content with
public applause while her own judgment
pronounced her deficient in many respects,
she came to New York and studied under
the best masters. Miss Corbett had always
been considered a fine, but cold singer ; but
after more than a year and a half of patient
attention and severe study of the dramatic
side alone of her profession, under able
tuition, she developed into one of the finest
dramatic singers of the age.

Miss Corbett has now an organized com-
pany, which has been quietly but steadily
Working for some months on such sterling
and exacting operas as Beethoven's "Fi-
delio," Wagner's " Flying Dutchman," and
Verdi's " Aida." Her determination is to
produce these and other operas with a per-
fection of ensemble not yet attempted in this
country ; a perfection only to be reached by
constant concefted study — by such long con-
tinued and daily rehearsals as her company
has been holding. As Miss Corbett intends
to travel this winter she will doubtless appear
in Boston, when our readers will have the
opportunity of verifying for themselves the
unanimously flattering reports of the New
York papers. — Folio.

THE VIOLIN-PIANO AT THE CENTENNIAL

BY EMIL SEIFERT.

For a long time the general desire has been
awakened to produce continuous tones simi-
lar to string instruments, upon the piano,
and many attempts of the most renowned
manufacturers in this respect have failed,
not even the "tone sustaining pedal" can
continue the tone as the violin vibration.
We have seen at the Centennial E.\hibition
a Violin-Piano manufactured by the piano
manufacturer George Greiner, of Sacramento,
California, who is the inventor. The form
Is similar to that of a grand piano and can
be introduced in any shaped piano. The
construction is unique. The stringing con-
sists of steel strings of seven octaves. Each
tone has a string, and each string has an
upright violin bow. The bow arrangement
is made of a steel frame between which the
violin bows are placed. This frame with the
enclosed bows, through a mechanism is put
in motion, assisted by pedal, causing a per-
pendicular movement of the bows. The
mechanism of the action is constructed in a
manner, that a small upright lever, fastened
in the hind j)art of the key, presses against

a bent lever with a small roller, and this
against the bow in order to produce the tone.
The power of this tone lies in the pressure
upon the keys. Above the strings three
wooden forms are suspended which can be
raised or lowered, through different pedals.
In these forms " damping buttons" are
placed, which rest upon certain points of the
strings, thus originating flageolet tones. In
the first form by which the damper touches
the centre of the string, conceives the octave
in flageolet tone. In the second form the
damper touches the third part of the string
and brings forth the "Fifth." In the third
form the damper touches the fifth part of the
string, causing the " upper third." The
entire three flageolet pedals are governed by
the left foot. When we look upon the first
piano and its progress, and examine the first
Violin-Piano in a state of perfection, it seems
highly probable that in a short time all our
musical desires will be gratified, then what
is nobler than the impressive violin or cello
tone, excepting of course, the human voice.
Mr. George Greiner has labored fifteen years
upon this invention. The Violin-Piano ex-
hibited in the Main Building near the Ameri-
can pianos is to be considered more as a
model, as it stands to reason that more
handsome instruments can be constructed.
Mr. Greiner has secured a patent at Wash-
ington.— Emil Seifert — American Art Jour-
nal.

PROF. PROTOPLASM HUXLEY.

The eminent English scientist, Prof. Hux-
ley, made but a short stay in New York, but
his arrival was the cause of a conversation
between one of our amateur scientists and a
matter-of-fact friend that seems to be worth
reporting. The amateur is an enthusiastic
admirer of Huxley, and he spoke so extra-
vagantly about him that the friend finally
became curious and asked :

" Who in thunder is Huxley, anyway ?"
" You don't mean to say you have not
heard of Prof. Huxley, the great scien-
tist?"

"Yes I do, though. Never heard his
name before. What has he done ?"

" Why, man, Huxley made the important
discovery about protoplasm."
" About what?"
" Protoplasm."

"And what the dickens is protoplasm?"
" Now, look here, you don't mean to sit
there and tell me you don't know what pro-
toplasm is?"

' ' That' s j ust it. Nary protoplasm . ' '
"Well, protoplasm is what we may call
the life principle."

" Anything to do with insurance?"
"Oh, nonsense; the life principle in nature
— the starting point of vital action, so to
speak."

"He discovered that, did he?"
"Yes, a few years ago, in England."
" And what good is it going to do?"

"Good! A great deal of good. It expands
the circle of human knowledge and is val-
uable in bearing out the theory of evolution.
It is a noble contribution to science and it
has made Huxley one of the few immortal
names that were not born to die."

"So Huxley knows all about the life prin-
ciple, does he?"

" Y'es, all about it."

" And the starting point of vital action ?"

" Exactly."

"W^ell, see here, now, can he take some
of that protoplasm and go to work and make
a man or a horse or an elephant with it ?"

" Oh, no; he couldn't do that."

"Can he take it and make anything at all
of it, even a gnat or a fly ?"

"I guess not."

" Well, then, he may just go to thunder
with his protoplasm. I don't believe it's
worth ten cents a pound, anyhow. 'Pears
to mo these scientific fellows put on a big lot
of airs about a very little. Protoplasm, eh ?
Shouldn't wonder if Huxley came over here
to get up a company to work it. Did you
say the mine is in England ?

The scientist gave him up in despair. — Vor.

HOW COOKE, THE MUSICIAN EXPLAINED.

At a trial of the Court of King's Bench in
1813, between certain music publishers, as
to an alleged piracy of an arrangement of the
song of "The Old English Gentleman,"
Cooke was summoned as a witness by one of
the parties.

On his cross-examination by Sir James
.Scarlett for the opposite side, that learned
counsel questioned him thus:

"Now, sir, you say that the two melodies
are the same, but different; now, what do
you mean by that, sir?"

To this Tom promptly replied :

"I said that the notes of the two copies
were alike, but with different accent, the one
being in common time, the other being in
six-eight time ; and consequently the position
of the accented notes was different."

"Now, pray, sir, don'tbeat about the bush,
but explain to the jury, who are suppo.sed to
know nothing about music, the meaning of
what you call aecent."

Cooke — " Accent in music is a certain stress
laid upon a particular note, in the same
manner as you would lay stress upon any
word, for the purpose of being better under-
stood. Thus, if I were to say, ' You are an
ass,' it rests on ass; but if I were to say,
' You are an ass,' it rests on you, Sir James."

Shouts of laughter by the whole court fol-
lowed this repartee. Silence at length having
been obtained, the Judge, with much seem-
ing gravity, accosted the counsel thus: "Are
you satisfied. Sir James?"

Sir James (who had become scarlet in more
than his name), in a great huff, said ; " The
witness may go down."

— Concerning the stage effects at Wagner's
Bayreuth Tlieatre, it is said that, for the first
time in the history of the stage, the use of
light has been properly considered, and, in
consequence, tne most marvelous effects
have been obtained. Tlie theatre has been
kept in almost total darkness, so that the
light has been concentrated on the stage.
There have been no footlights used, but a
quiet and well-disposed light has fallen in
equal power on the actors. Sometimes the
light has been disposed from the back of the
stage so as to indicate dawn and sunrise, at
others it has fallen only in parts of the
scenery. Tlie most picturesque and Rem-
brandt-like effects have been thus obtained,
which are deserving of all praise and of care-
ful imitation. <

— Farinelli, tlie singer, had ordered a

the trembling tailor, " I have but one form
in which I desire mj' payment. It is of in-
estimable value, and reserved for monarchs.
lint since I liave the honor of working for
one of whom none speak but with enthusi-
asm, I wish no other payment than that he
sing me one song." Farinelli strove in vain
to change his resolution and induce him to
re(relve the money; the tailor was immov-
able. At last the great artist acceded to his
request and, resolved that the enthusiast
should be fnlly gratified, he exhibited be/ore
him all his wondrous skill, after which the
tailor, fairly intoxicated with delight, pro-
pared to withdraw, but Farinelli stopped
him. " I am very sensitive," said he, "and
it is, possibly, through that trait, that I have
attained my superiority over other singers.
I have acceded to your wishes, and now, in
return you must yield to mine." .Saying
which, he drew out his purse, and compelled
the astonished tailor to receive nearly ihnible
the worth of the garment.

A .STRAIN of gentle music, or the rippling
of water in a silent place, or the odor of a
flower, or oven the mention of a familiar
word, will .sometimes call up sudden dim
remembrances of scenes that never wore, in
this life; which vanish like a breath; which
some brief memory of a happier existence,
long gone by, would seem to liave awakened ;
which no voluntary exertion of the mind can
over recall. — Dickens.

SHERMAN t HYDE'S MUSICAL REVIEW,
San Francisco, CTo..

CIRCULATION, 5,000.

NAPA LADIES' SEMINARY.

On the 3d ult., we took a flying trip to
Napa, to attend a musical soiree at the Napa
Ladies' Seminary. The large hall was well
filled by the citizens of that delightful town,
with a delegation of visitors from this city.

The musical department of this Institu-
tion, under the direction of Miss Gertrude L.
Hinman and Miss Mary S. Hubbell, has at-
tained an excellence seldom equaled in our
State, and not surpassed by similiar institu-
tions in the East. Some of the pupils are
quite youthful, and have but recently com-
menced their musical studies, but the admir-
able system of instruction pursued by the
teachers was moat evident in every perform-
ance. The first vocal honors were fairlj'
won by Mis.s Melvin, who has a rich, clear
voice and whose " Ferrrant Waltz" was de-
servedly encored. Next in cultivation was
Miss Sproul, who rendered the difficult oper-
atic aria "O Mio Fernando," from La Fa-
vorita. Misses Cornwell, Overton and Epley
sang very creditable selections. Miss Maud
Estee gave with fine dramatic efifect, "Little
Red Riding Hood," and two choruses were
sung by the entire class.

The instrumental portion was equally var-
ied and interesting, the overture to "Caliph
of Bagdad," by Misses Wright and Overton,
being the most conspicuous for beauty of
execution. " Queen of the Night" by Miss
Nydia .Starr;" "Titania," by Miss Helena
Hertel, and a piano trio, comprising .Scotch
airs, by Misses Minnie Clark, GussioVcuder
and Hattie McDonald, were nearly equal in
merit, and worthy of special mention.
Mis.ses Marden, Leigh, lioggs, Ellis and
Alstrom, the la.st a very young pianist, did
well considering their limited practice.

The music teachers were each assigned one
number on the progr,-»mmo, which was
mainly intended to show the proficiency of

the pupils. Miss Hubbell was educated in
Germany, her playing is of that school and
observable for the distinctness and accuracy
of every note, as well as for brilliancy of
execution. Her solo "Le Reveil desFees,"
was exceedingly well received. Miss Hin-
Dian has a remarkablj' pure, clear voice,
very finely trained, and she excels as thor-
oughly in expression as in execution. Her
voice and style are especially adapted to the
concert hall, and admirably as she renders
such ballads as " Within a mile of Ediu-
boro' town," her vocalization is still more
perfect in operatic selections.

Under the supervision of the Principal,
Miss .Sarah F. McDonald, an air of comfort
and order pervades all the appointments of
this institution, which seems more like a
home than a boarding-school ; the discipline
is eiTective without being arbitrary, and the
pupils are evidently taught to govern them-
selves.
The other teachers are as follows :
Miss Julia A. Winchester, Jlodern Lan-
guages and Rhetoric ; Mrs. Mary Mul-
holland. Drawing and Painting; Miss Julia
P. Brigham, Mathematics ; Miss Ella Lamb,
English branches ; and Prof. Frederick A.
McDonald, Ancient Languages. These de-
partments are well conducted, and the in-
struction is anything but superficial. The
school is increasing in numbers so rapidly,
that new buildings will shortly have to be
erected for the accommodation of applicants,
and the evidences of prosperity are numer-
ous and gratifying.

VIENNA UDIES' ORCHESTRA,

The musical attractions of our city have
of late been agreeably diversified by the
concerts of the Vienna ladies' Orchestra,
which have been given at Piatt's Hall,
Maguire's Opera House and Woodward's
Gardens. These interesting Concerts were
under the able management of Mr. Charles
Schutz, who is well known in dramatic and
musical circles. The Orchestra comprises
eight ladies and four gentlemen, under Mile.
Bertha Neuber's.directioii, who is also first
violinist. The success of this orchestra has
been very marked, especially in music of
the lighter cast.

Among the pieces which were especially
well played, we noted arrangements of
The Bohciaian Girl, t'ra Viavolo, and
Martha, the potpourri "The Musical Obser-
ver," the concert mazurka, " Au revoir,"
Thomas' overture "Raymond," and a medley
of American airs. The first violinist. Miss
Neuber, and the celloist Mi.ss Theresa
Human, have played solos and duets with
superior execution and expression, and have
received enthusiastic encores. The .second
violinist. Miss Amelia Korn, whose graceful
bowing has been much admired, and the
pianist. Miss M. Brandl, have been equally
successful in satisfying tho public demand.
The latter plaj'cd on one occasion with Miss

Neuber, an exquisite fantaisie by Selmar on
the Weber Grand Piano, and her accom-
paniments were well rendered. The appear-
ance of the ladies upon the stage is so modest,
and their manners so agreeable, as to heighten
the effect of their music.

An accession to these concerts have been
the vocal solos of Mile. Elisa Ussini, from
Italy. This lady has evidently a clear and
penetrating voice and distinct enunciation,
but she was suffering from severe cold and
hoarseness. Yet in spite of this difficulty,
some of her selections were given in good
.style and with superior expression, particu-
lary " Si tu savais," which received a de-
served encore.

Denman Grammar School. — The grad-
uating exercises of the class of 1876, at this
school, occured on 17th ult, which was the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the e.stablish-
ment of the school. A historical address of
surpassing interest was given bj- Prof. John
Swett, now principal of the Girls' High
School and formerly of this institution.

We regret that we have not the space for
an abstract of this address, which gave com-
plete sketches and statistics of this celebrated
school.

Felicitous addresses were also given by-
Prof. James Denman, the present principal,
Mr. J. M. Buffington, Dr. W. A. Grover,
General AVilson and Messrs. Brewer and
Pope, Mr. Fisher Ames of the Board of
Education distributed the medals, and re-
ferred to the advanced scholarship of the
graduates ; and Dr. O'Neil presented the
diplomas. The other members of the Board
taking part in the exercises, wore President
Clement, and Messrs Edwards, Scheeline,
Hagan, Haight and Black.

The musical exercises under the aVile
direction of Prof. Washington Elliot, Prin-
cijial of Music in the Public Schools, were a
very attractive feature of the programme.

Tho pieces "Welcome" and "Hunter's
Call," were given in chorus by tho graduates,
in the spirited style for which this school is
famous. The vocal solos by Misses Susie
Becman and TillieKahm, and the quartette
by Misses Tillie Kahm, Ada Currier, Clara
Blackburn and Rebecca Livingston were
exceedingly well rendered, and received
with applause. These young ladies are
most promising singers, and would be
welcomed in a |iublic concert. A poem bj-
Miss Sarah N. Clarke, read by Mrs. L. A. K.
Clapp, and an address to the graduates by
Miss Georgie Baldwin, added greatly to the
interest of the occasion.

Exhibition. — An exhibition by tho pupils
of the Broadway Grammar School, in aid of
the Medal Fund, will be given at Piatt's
Hall on the l.'ith inst. Wo trust they may
have a largo attendance.

Pbintixo. — Having made many nnprove-
mcnts in our Printing Department, we are
now prepared to c.xccnto all orders neatly
and promptly.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

MISS LIZZIE HUTCHINSON.

Our city has recently been visited by a
new prima donna, Miss Lizzie Hutchinson,
an Eastern lady, who has studied in
England and Italy, and has recently re-
turned from Milan, where she sang with
great success in Italian operas, and also
officiated as pianist in leading concerts.
From a late Verona paper, we translate an
extract from an elaborate notice of her, as fol-
lows : " She has all the gifts necessary to be-
come an excellent artist ; voice, dramatic
action, good school, well-colored accent and
sure intonation. In the mad scene of Lucia,
she succeeded in obtaining a delirium of ap-
plause and admiration."

We learn that Miss Hutchinson intends to
give operatic concerts throughout this State,
and she has our best wishes for her success.

LIEUT. PHILIP BEADE.

We have been favored with a call from
Lieut. Philip Reade of San Diego, who is
now In charge of the construction of the
U. S. Military Telegraph from San Diego,
through Arizona, to Santa Fo. He informs
us that the telegraph line has already been
extended fourteen hundred miles southward
from San Diego, and touches the prominent
towns in Arizona, and he expects it will be
completed to Santa Fc5 within two months.
This enterprise is of great value to the Pacific
Coast, and Lieut. Reade has become dis-
tinguished for his energy in its execution.

Our readers are already acquainted with
the sad romance of his life, through the
demise of his wife, Mrs. Minnie Reade,
whose promising career as an operatic prima
donna has been so graphically described by
foreign and American journals, and hereto-
fore alluded to in our columns.

NAPA COLLEOI.VTE INSTITUTE.

In a recent trip to Napa, we visited the
Collegiate Institute, during a vacation of the
.school; however, we observed many evi-
dences of prosperity, especially in the musi-
cal department, which is ably conducted by
Prof. W. A. Packard and Miss Rosa M.
Stacey, and which is steadily increasing in
numbers and interest. The Principal, Prof.
L. L. Rogers, the teacher of Mathematics,
Prof. Buck, and others of the faculty were
present, and a few of the pupils. This in-
stitution is well located, and we shall be
pleased to know of its continued usefulness
and success.

INSTRUCTION WANTED.

soprano vocalist and accompanist, wishes

an important position at the Peabody Con-
servatory in Baltimore, and lately has been
musical correspondent of various European
newspapers from the Centennial. Mr. Sei-

passing his "honeymoon" at "Pierson's
Cosmopolitan Hotel."

Mr. C.vrl Rosa is keeping up the excel-
lence of his performances, and night after
night the Lyceum Theatre, London, is
crowded. ,On Tuesday there was a capital
performance of Zampa, with Jldnie. Tor-
riani and Mr. Santley in the chief roles.
The band played its best, and an encore for
the popular overture was a natural and well-
deserved result.

Maggie Moore is coming home to this

sents were of the most gorgeous description.

Music at Home.

Concert at Napa. — A very superior con-
lert, in aid of St. John's Church, was given
on the Ifjth ult. at Nai)a. Among the vo-
calists present. Miss M. F. Oolden and Mrs.
c. p. Hall, of this city, Miss Hattie Fowler,
Mrs. W. H. Glecson.'Mrs. C. Van Pelt and
Miss Vinnie Golden, were conspicuous for
merit. The instrumental portion was equally
eH'ectivc. Wo have not space for a more
extended notice.

Plymouth Church Concert. — A concert
was gi\en at Plymouth (Congregational)
Cliurch on the 23rd ult., under the direction
ofMr. G. H. Little. Some of our well-known
amateurs contributed to the enjoyment of
the occasion. A vocal solo by Miss S. A.
Rightmire, one of our most promising con-
traltos, was one of the features of the occasion.
Mrs. Moore's solo and her duet with Miss
Rightmire won deserved applause. The
tenor solo of Mr. J. C. Williams was rendered
in that gentlemen's usual etfective manner.
Miss Marian Singer and Mrs. G. H. Little
were well received in their vocal solos, and
Mr. Bettincourt's guitar solo was a great
attraction. Messrs. G. H. Little and Martin
Schultz were felicitous in their piano selec-
tions. Mrs. Parent, Learby, Hobbs, Nicker-
son, Misses Peck, Davies and Pennie, and
Messrs. Jones, Warner and Johnstone, also
had vocal parts in the elaborate programme,
and the concert was a success in all respects.
New Jerusalem Church. — A Concert
at the New Jerusalem Churcli on the 2d ult,
was noted for the excellence of its amateur
talent. The song " When tis Moonlight,"
by Miss Jenny A. Lee, was .so finely reu-
ilered as to attract unusual attention. Misses
Marie Shellard and Lillian Post also gave
soprano solos to general acceptance. Mr. J. C.
Williams an excellent tenor, and Mr. S. S.
Bennett, a good baritone, gave appropriate
selections. Mr. Charles Hcrtweck's zither
solo and Mr. .•Vndrew Davis' recitation were
encored, as were many other pieces upon
the programme. Messrs F. G. Carnes and
Leonard Georges were the pianists, and made
several appearances. The music was thor-
ouglily appreciated, and was followed by
dancing until a late hour.

Prok. J. KvH's Concert. — At Y. M.
C. A. [Hall on the 8th ult., Prof. J. Kuh
gave a concert. The selections «ere given
entirely by his pupils, some of whom were
advanced and others of limited practice.
Wliile the playing of all showed earnest
study, that of Miss Emma Winter was much
tlie best, and her "Carnival of A'enice,"
received a lively encore. Miss I^ouisa
Tourney, who is a successful teacher, gave
good selections, in a spirited manner, but
severe hoarseness interfered with lier usually
fine execution. Mr. S. S. Bamberger sang
"tiood Niglit, Farewell" and other baritone
songs witli superior expression and received
deservedapplau.se. Mr.E.I'icjue's guitar solos
were exqui.sitely played, and tlie nudiencc
were reluctant to have him cease after
repeated encores. The hall was well filled
on this occasion.

Christmas Pr.vise Service. — On Christ-
mas Eve, December 24th, a Christmas Praise
Service will be held at the First Congrega-
tional Church, Rev. Dr. A. L. Stone, Pastor.
Those quarterly services possess great interest
for the public, and are largely attended.

Musical Soiree.— On the 23rd ult., at the
residence of Capt. and Mrs. W. E. Bushnell,
317 Mason Street, a very pleasant party and
musical soiree was given by Miss Jessie E.
Brown, on her eighteenth birthday. A large
company of invited guests were present,
principally people of musical tastes. The
following musical programme was exceed-
ingly well executed, and thoroughly appre-
ciated: Piano Duet, "Trovatore,'' Miss Lena
Hoftman and Mr. C. S. Hoflman ; Baritone
Solo, "A Warrior Bold," Mr. S. S. Bennett ;

ding, the parties being Mr. Samuel X. Tuttle
nd Miss Jessie E. Brown, the Rev. Horatio
.Stcbbins officiating. An elegant champagne
supper and dancing followed the music, and
the guests were warm in their expressions
of satisfaction and delight at their cordial
reception and eiiterlaininent.

Powell St. M. E. Church Concert.—
Prof. G. W. Jackson gave a concert on the
27th ult., at this church, the performers
being his pupils; for the benefit mainly of
the Sunday-School connected with the
church. The principal .soprsmo soloist was
Miss Aggie Childs, whose rendering of " La
Zingara" gave univer.sal satisfaction and
was warmly enct>red. Misses Bibbins and
Jackson, Mrs. Ruthntul)' and McKinnon,
and Messrs. James Young, Kane, Scawright,
Andrus, Sillcnce and Breinner sang various
duets and quartettes which were well re-
ceived. Mr. G. W. .lackson sang a fine
cavatina, and the entire class, comprising
many vocalists less advanced, appeared in
three choruses. The pianists of the occasion
were Messrs. Julius t)cttl and II. S. .sted-
man. The concert was fully attended and a
largo amount realized for the worthy object.
Miss Ellen D. Coursen's Concert. —
As wo go to press we have only space to
mention Miss Coursen's concert at Piatt's
Hall, on the M\ in.st., which was attended
by a large and friendly audieneo.

C'ANTATA OF THE FLOWER QUEEN. — At

Dietz Opera House in Oakland on the 20th
Oct., Geo. F. Root's Cantata of the " Flower
Queen," was given under the direction of
Jlrs. Emma Titcomb. The arrangements
were elaborate, and the personifications
exceedingly successful. The vocal solos
and choruses of the young ladies were ren-
dered with spirit and in good taste, and the
costumes were appropriate. The large
audience was greatly pleased with the en-
tertainment, which was excellently con-
ducted.

Ajiotaos, Social Pakty. — The second
party of the Amotags took place at Lunt's
Hall on the 28th ult. , and was well attended.
The participants mainly comprised the
members and friends of the Apollo Glee
Society, an excellent musical organization of
which Prof. Washington Elliot is conductor,
and we have rarely attended a party marked
by so much friendly sentiment and social
spirit. The music was good, and the dancing
most enjoyable, particularly as the toilets
of both ladies and gentlemen were not ex-
treme, but thoroughly sensible. We hope
the Amolags may be induced to give [these
parties more frequently.

Mr. J. H. Dohrmann's Benefit. — At the
Grand Opera House, on the 3rd ult., a benefit
was tendered to the leader of the orchestra,
Mr. J. H. Dohrmann. The fine scenic play
"Snowtlake" was produced, with a good
cast. The overture to William Tell was
superbly played by a double orchestra of
fifty pieces, and solos were given by mem-
bers of the band. The song " Lovely
Spring," by Prof. G. Nathanson, and a duet
from II PoUuto by Signor and Mme. Bianchi
were among the other attractions of the
entertainment, which was largely attended,
and universally enjoyed.

Bishop Scott Grammar School. — One of
the best preparatory schools of the Pacific
Coast is located in Portland, O., under the
care of Rev. G. Burton, and is for boj-s only.
Dr. Burton has the rare faculty for teaching
and influencing young lads without arbi-
trary measures, and his reputation is so fav-
orable that many parents in California place
their children under his charge. All the
departments of the institution are ably con-
ducted, and while the school is under the
supervision of the Episcopal Church, no
sectarianism is inculcated. The school was
incorporated last month as a College and en-
ters upon a new career of usefulness.

LivERMORE College. — This flourishing
school for both sexes, located only thirty-
five miles from San Francisco; possesses
many advantages over most boarding-
schools. Under the able management of
Prof. Smith, it is rapidly increasing in
numbers. Special attention is paid to music,
dancing and painting, and the system of
education is thorough and complete in all
departments. F, R. G.

For the Musical Review.
CRITICISM ON CHURCH MUSIC.

By W. K. Wheeler.

A wide difference of opinion exists and
always has prevailed in protestant churches
as to the character and quantity of music,
both vocal and instrumental, required to
sustain religious worship.

From the time of David and his ^^ chief
muaicianx," to whom many of the Psalms
were addressed, down to the present time,
the devotional element in the human heart
has found relief and joy, in songs of praise
and thanksgiving in the "sanctuary" and
around the family altar.

We have no right to believe that King
David always required one tune, chant or
melody, to be sung, even if it was as good
or better than " Old Hundred," nor can we
suppose he compelled his choristers to
always select a peculiar set of tunes so sim-
ple that all could invariably join in vocal
praise. In those days I presume there were
many worshippers who praised God with
their whole heart and soul, in listening to
the wonderful harmonies produced by a
select number of musicians trained by art
to sliow to man the glory of God through
his works, and I am inclined to believe that
singing had much to do in causing those
large assemblies at, and around Jerusalem
on festal and sacrificial days. How long
would our churches be sustained, if no songs
of praise were heard therein? How long
would the people of this cultured age attend
church regularly if the preacher must be
selected, whose leai'uing and ability was at
par with those of his congregation, who un-
fortunately, perhaps, could never read nor
write? How long would an intelligent con-
gregation be content with a contracted
variety of old or modern simple tunes,
adapted to please a small minority, including
perhaps the minister? Do we select our
ministers on account of their musical talent,
or for their piety and divine culture? Is it
not our pleasure to take words from their
mouths as bread from heaven? If they
have devoted their lives to the study of
divinity — and, as is often the case, have good
voices to speak — yet are hardly able vocally
or intellectually, to appreciate a song of
praise, even though it be "Old Hundred,"
ought they to dictate, or bo expected to
assume any responsibility of the singing,
though they may not enjoy it? and for all this
no one is to blame — but themselves, if any
blame exists.

As wealth rapidly accumulates on this
coast, so do the arts flourish. The musical
taste of the people is making astonisliing
strides. We are a musical people, and pa-
tronize it with unbounded liberality ; every
year the style of music in our churches
assumes a higher and more classical stan-
dard, to match the taste and desire of our
congregations, and a high and worthy emu-
lation, through studious culture, exists with

a large portion of our sons and daughters, to
become artists vocally and instruraeutally.
Hence it would seem wise, that those who
have charge of the musical engagements of
our churches should know something of the
science of music. Trace it where you will,
you may set it down as an axiom, that those
who make trouble in a church on account of
the attempt of the choir to introduce classical
and artistic music (not beyond their ability
to execute, of course) are unable to appreciate
anything but the simple A-B-C's of the art.
This complaining class want the minister on
their side of course, and many a load of
wood in country villages, has been presen-
ted, and many a sumptuous thanksgiving
dinner furnished the honest old minister, to
draw him over to their side. Too often has
it been that the great majority of the society,
rather than have a heartburning fight, yield
and let this troublesome minority rule ;
resulting in indiflorenco of spirit for the true
interests of the church, in a material sense,
or in case this troublesome minority are not
able to gain their point, they will have gone
so far as to soil their own record, and leave
in disgust. Once outside, they never return,
and then for the first time find out their
fatal mistake. They had by their zeal sup-
posed that each one had for years, singlj',
carried zionward, one corner of the church,
and when standing from under the tremen-
dous load, with sore backs, they discover
that they had not moved the church at all —
that it still rests on its original foundations,
exactly where God ordained it. Through
such a trial as this, they begin to gain a faint
ray of light to their enormous self-conceit,
and just there learn humility of heart.

The tenacity with which an old-school
self-taught singer will hold to his seat and
position in the choir, year after j'ear, while
a dozen well trained voices have grown up,
and love to help lift the music out of its low,
worn-out, dragging style, is another difficult
matter to manage. No singer or organist
can conduct a choir more than three or four
years without finding the task becoming
more and more severe and unsatisfactory.
A change produces a good effect ; his role of
tunes and styles, however good, has reached
its limits; every post and pillar have vibrated
to his music, like as the round of chapters
and selections of texts and hymns of the
preacher have become plainly familiar to
the audience in a role of years. The days of
life-leases of pulpits and seats at the organ
and head of the choir, are passed. The
advantages of every faniilj' now to read and
store up for themselves the philosophy of
the age in religion, morals and science, is so
great, that the work of a minister, to feed
his congregation and church with effective
and satisfactory food, becomes too laborious
to bear for a generation or more — so too, the
rapid improvement in the art of vocal culture,
and great increase of musical composers and
intelligent critics together with the large
additions' constantly being made of music,
solely adapted to religious culture, from the
sunday-scbool through the chui-ch to the
prayer meeting — is continually elevating the
character of the music and musical tasto of
all religious assemblies in our land.

The introduction of singing in our public
schools is a sure guarantee for the future
growth of the love now so strong, for vocal
culture and artistic excellence in music.

WhoEeceMtlieHiiMAwaM?

The following Article from the New
York "Times," of October 27, 1876, will
serve to settle the vexed question as to
which Piano Manufacturer received the
highest award at the Centennial Exhibi-
tion.

THE PIANO WAR.

<iEOR iE F. BlilSTOW, ESCJ., JUDGE OF 1 HE

JURY ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AT

THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION,

EXPLAINS THE SITUATION.

New VoitK, Oct. 25, 1876.
To the Editor of the New York Times:

Being desirous to learn the inside his-
tory of the piano awards, which are
causing so much stir in the papers, and
to try to unravel the mystery surrounding
them, I was induced to seek Mr. George
F. Bristow, the juror from New York on
musical instruments of Group, No. 25,
and get, if possible, a clear understanding
of the matter, and as it is of considerable
interest to your readers, I send you the
result of my visit to Mr. Bristow, whom
I found at his residence in Morrisania,
where the following conversation took
place.

^Vhile Mr. Bri.stow was exceedingly
reluctant to speak of his associates, he
did not hesitate to give his views of the
difference of the awards in the following
manner:

You have no doubt seen the statements
of rival manufacturers of piano awards in
the daily press?

Bristow — Yes, sir, and being one of
the jurors, have, of course, taken consi-
derable interest in the discussion.
Who wore your colleagues ?
Gon. Oliver, of Salem, Mass.; .fulius
Schiediuayer, of Stuttgart, Germany .ind
Mr. Kupka, of Vienna.

Can you tell me who, of all the rival
makers, did really carry off the higiiest
hjiior? I see several claim it.

In order to understand it, I will have
to say that this was not a competitive
exliibition, and tiie judges had oidy to
ncoinitu'iiil giving awards; th(i medals
tlii.'mselvos wuro given by the connnision.
Then you did not give the awards?

No, sir. Our duty was to examine
the musical instruments, and give our
reason why we recommended an award,
and the report accompanying the, medal
is really the only thing valuable in con-
nection with it.
Why so?

Because, while we could not compare
one maker's piano with that of another
in our report, yet by giving the special
qualities of each maker, it really amounts
to the same thing at last.

That seems just where the difificultj- is.
No one seems to know how to make that
clear, and it is for that reason I called
upon you.

^Vell, I will say, then, that when we
had examined the pianos of about forty
different makers, it was at once apjiarent
that the two makers, AVeber and Stein-
way, outranked all others to such an ex-
tent, that a resolution was offered in our
committee, that these two makers stand
so far in advance of the rest of the piano
makers who exhibited, that we felt it our
duty to especially recommend theirpianos
as superior to all others. But, under the
rule of the Commissioners, that was not
allowable; hence, we could not specially
distinguish these two makers, Weber and
Steinway, as they justly deserved, except
in the lirport.

Suppose these two makers had not
been in competition?

Why, it would have been the play of
Hamlet, with Hamlet left out, because
from the first moment the whole interest
centred on those two makers. The whole
number of instruments was fine — very
fine. It was such a collection of instru-
ments as, I dare say, had never before
stood side by side in one room; but when
we came to these two makers' productions,
they were ironderfiil, and the examination
altogether was, I may say, of the most
severe kind.

Well the awards, as far as these makers
are concerned, seem muddled; you see
Weber claims a higher award than Stein-
way, and vice versa.

Well, when you examine the awards
carefully, you will see the distinction is
wisely made, and full of discrimination.
Here you have Stcinway's award:

' For greatest concert capacity in grand
pianos, as also liighest degree of excel-
lence in all their styles of pianos, viz:
Largest volume, purity, and duration of
tone, and extraordinary carrying capacity,

with precision and durability of mechan-
ism, also novel distribution of the
strings.'

Here you have Weber's award:
' For sympathetic, pure and rich tone,
COMBINED with greatest power, as shown
in the three styles. Grand, Square, and
Upright Pianos, which show intelligence
and solidity in their construction, a pliant
and easy touch, which at the same time
answers promptly to its requirements,
together with excellence of work-
manship.'

Now, Mr. Weber, in his card made
public, hits the nail exactly on the head,
by showing the difference. The Stein-
way is commended as the exponent of
force, while the Weber instrument is
commended for its human quality (f
symj>iithy, of sensibility, of a soul in the
instrument, co?nbincd with greatest
power.

Then you would call, and think that
the Weber Piano was the best?

Weber's pianos were imquestionably
the BEST vixisos on. exhibition. Weber's
Grand Piano was the fnost iconderf'ul
piaito I ever touched or heard.

Did the other judges think so, also? I
think Mr. Schiedmayer favored Stein-
way very strongly, but if you will wait a
minute I will get my book and give you
the figures.

What do you mean by figures?
You see, all the pianos were brought
into "Judges' Hall" for examination, and
we there agreed to mark in figures our
opinion, and write out the report in full
subse(|uently. Each piano was judged
as to 7 one, (Quality, Equality and Touch,
the highest figure in each being 6, the
lowest 1. Each judge made his figures
on those points, and these figures were
really the fundamental basis of all the
axKirds, the corner-stone on which they
all rest. All makers who reached in
each point figure 3 and upward, received
an award, and all below received nothing.
Thus you see, the highest pitssible figure,
adding up the numbers of each judge on
each of the points, would be 24, or if all
the judges agreed, the highest possible
number for any instrument to reach would
be 'JO, while those reaching 48 and u|)-
ward would receive a medal, just the
same.

Have you the figures of tlie other
judges besides your tiwn?

For my own satisfaction, l»-fore the

Shei\man &• Wyde's Musical Review.

judges separated, I asked them to give
me the figures of several makers, es^je-
cialbj on the grand pianos, and they
either gave me their book to copy, or
read them out to me.

Have you Weber's and Stoinway's
figures?

Yes, sir.

Can you give them to me?

I really think I had better not do so.

Why not?

Because I do not wish to be mixed up
with the controversies of these two
makers.

Well, you have already stated that
Weber's Pianos were the best, and these
figures certainly would be the surest test.
It is not possible to express in words the
superiority of one piano over another as
positively and reliably as in figures.

Here then are the original figures;
you can copy them for yourself.

Then Weber reached 95 and Steinwaj'

Such is the fact.

According to these figures, Weber's
pianos were certainly the best on exhibi-
tion!

That is beyond a question. Weber's
pianos are widoubtedhj the best in Amer-
ica, probably in the world!

Can there be any doubt as to these
figures?

None whatever. I am readj- to testify
to them under oath.

Have you the figures of other makers?

Yes; but as the other makers do not
reach near those figures, I hardly think
they would relish them made public, and
I certainly do not wish to hurt the feelings
of any one. My aim was simply to show
you that there really is no muddle.

While I really felt much obliged for
Mr. Bristow's kind attention and elucida-
tion, which I here acknowledge, and
think I fully understand the matter, I
hope it will be equally clear to the readers
of the Times.

THEODORE HOOK'S PUNS.

Theodore Hook was delighting a few
friend.^ one summer's evening at Fiilham
by an extempore eomie song,' when, in the
middle of it, the servant entered with
"Please, .sir, here'.s Mr. Winter, the tax
gatherer ; he says he called for taxes. Hook
woidd not be interrupted, but Avent on at
the piano-forte as if nothing had happened,
with the following stanza:

Two silly brothers, twins, Avere very mueh
about town in Hook's time, and they took
every pains by dressing alike, to deceive

their friends as to their identity. A com-
panion was expatiating upon the modern
Dromois, at which Hook grew impatient.
"Well," said his friend, "you will admit
that they resemble each other wonderfully ;
they are as like as two peas." " They are,"
retorted Hook, " and quite as green."
.Sometimes Theodore Hook was strangely
puzzled by hard names in liis improvisa-
tions, as in the case of a Mr. Rosenagen, a
3-oung Dane; but he mastered the diflicnlty
as follows :

'* Tct more of my mnae is rcquirrd,
AliiB I I fear aho Ib done ■
lint no. like a liildler thal'B tired,
I'll Robcu ngen and go on."

When Theodore Hook was on his way
home from the Mauritius, to be tried for his
treasury irregularities, the ship stopped a

day or two at .St. Helena, where hs encount-
ered Ijord Charles Somerset on his way to as-
sume the governorship of the Cape. Lord
Charles, who had met him in London occa-
sionally, and knew nothing of his arrest, said,
" I hope you are not going home for your
hcallh, Mr. Hook." "Why," said Theo-
dore, " I am sorry to say they think there's
something wrong in the chest." In Theo-
dore H»ok's garden a friend viewing Put-
ncj- Uridge, observed that he had been in-
formed that it was a very good investment;
ai^d, turning to his host, inquired if such
was the case, and if the bridge 'really an-
swered. "I don't know," said Hook, "but
you have only to cross it, and you are sure
tn bo ' tolled.' " — l.iisnre Hour.

It comprises grades of Instruction, as taught at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, and is the

only Book used at that Institution.

It 1b published in three parts, and furnishes a thorough progressive system of instruction for the Piano-forte, beginning with the first principles of the art and ex-
tending through a course of several years. Particular care has been taken to make the lessuns as interesting and attractive to the pupil as in ci usisteot with thorough,
nets, and for this purpose RONDOS, ARIAS, NATIONAL AND OPERATIC MELODIES and a variety of interesting little compositionB have been
introduced under the name of Recreations, each illustratiug and enforcing some principle, explained in the preceding exercise or etude, and at the same time gmdually
but surely educating and refining the taste of the pupil.

Part first contains forty lessons, being intended to cover two terms of instruction. The first twenty lessons are devoted exclusively to the Legato Touch. The re-
mnining lesBone treat of the Wrist Action, the Staccato ToQch, Slurs, Scales, Transposition and the Tremolo.

Part second contains forty lessons treating of Arpeggios in the various keys, Major scales in the remote sharp and flat keys, broken octaves, free and connected
sixths, Appogiaturas. Chromatic scale. Minor scales, the triplet, three notes against two, the turn, use of pedals, the cantablle or singing style, A:c., &c., all of which are
Illustrated by attractive compositions from the works of Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Czerny, Weber, Auber. BurgmuUer, Henselt and other celebrated classic com-
posers, under the head of studies and recreations.

Part Third Includes the grand practice of the Scales in Octaves. Sixths and Tenths, in all the keys, major and minor ; Grand Arpeggios of the Common Chord. Dom-
inant and Diminished Sevenths, Scales in Double Thirds and Sixths; the study of Octaves and Skips. Single and Double Trills, &c., &c., with pieces illustrutive of the

same from various composerfl, including selections from the Sonatas of Haydn, Mozart and Beetho -".-.---.. .

Schools and Seminaries throughout the country, who acknowledge it to be

We add a few of the many letters we have received from distinguished professors, in favor of the New Eno-lan
Conservatory Piano-forte Method:

Boston, November 4, 1871.

Messrs. G.D. Ruesen k. Co.: Having carefully ex-
amined the New England Conservatory Piano-forte Me-
thod, 1 take great pleasure in recommending it to
teachers and pupils, as b<jng superior to any Piano-
forte Method published in this country.

It seems to combine all the requisites of a complete
and thorough Piano-forte School ; most uf the studits
and recreations are carefully selected from the great
masters and arranged in a progressive manner, with
ability and judgment ; and I consider it a work of
great merit.

J. C. D. PARKER.

Boston. November 4th. 1H7I.
Messrs O. D. Russell is. Company, Gentlemen : I
have carefully examined the New England Conserva-
tory Piano-furte Method, and fully believe it to be a
most excellent text-book for the Piano-forte. Its ex-
plantions are lucid and concise, Its course of study
eminently progressive, while its technical studies are
BO combined with selections from the classic masters
as to develop both a tactile execution and a grucvful
and poetic style.

Yours very truly,

CARLZERRAHN.

Boston, November 4, 1H71.
Messrs: G. D. Russell k Company: I take pleasure

STEPHEN A. EMERY.

Boston. November 14. 1871.

Messrs. G. D. Russell k Company, Gents: Permit
me to express to you the satisfaction ond pleasure with
which I examined the New England Conservatory Pi-
ano method.

The compilers of this work are evidently musicians,
pisnists and teachers. It is characteristically ad-
dressed to the quick perceptive mind of the American.

The explanations, rules and remarks are terse, short
and to the point — are comprehensive and intelligible.
It is eminently a practical work ; one in which no
page can be conscientiously omitted, and one, too, in
which everj page can and should be learned by the
pupil. It is an interesting work fur both teacher and
pupil: and. above all. it is eminently calculated to in-
stil in the mind of the learner the true and essential
object of music — the cultivation and development of
artistic musical expression and feeling.

I cannot but believe that as soon as the American
teachers become acquainted with this Method they
Will prefer it to all the American Instructors hereto-
fore luiblished.

Permit me, gentlemen, also to compliment you upon
the beautiful edition In which you Issue the abuTe

nrd. believe me, very sincerely yours,
HERMANN STRACHAUER

Boston. November 3. 1871.

Messrs. G. D, Russell k Company, Gentlemen : A
thorough knowledge of the New England Conservatory
Method for the Piano-forte preparrs me to commend
it as a decidedly superior Piano-forte School.

It leads the p\ipll step by step from the beginning,
through the various technical dilhculties of the Instru-
ment, and at the same time presents a series of the
most charming compositions from the best composers
for the education of his taste.

Perhaps I cannot better testify my ajjpreciation of
its many merits than by the statement (hat I am con-
tinually using it in my piano classes with the very best
results.

I am kc. Yours truly.

The Salutation.

New Book of Sacred Music, by L. O. Emerson. Price $12
per Dozen. $1.38 per single copy.

" *Srt/i<tom'," says the collegian, in commencing his well
conned Latin oration. Prof. Emerson has for some years
united his labors with those of a distinguished Western com-
piler.* The result was undoubtedly good, but he now appears
alone, with a sense of greater freedom and ease, and the
present Salutatory ushers in a new and successful era.

The Salutation is a book of about 350 pages. Beginning,
as one usually does, at the end, and allowing the leaves to
slip through the fingers, we first notice a dozen pages packed
with the always indispensable congregational tunes. Next,
we pause a moment to hum over the few beautiful chants.
Next, in backward order, we come to a mass of new and
choice Anthems, Hymn Anthems, Motets, Sentences and the
like, a ver^- rich collection that will be eagerly sought after
by those needing new opening anthems or "Voluntaries."
Then we begin to encounter the last Psalm Tunes, whose
varied metres always render them favorites with new singers,
and then a multitude of Common, Short and Long metres,
many of which are destined to be the special favorites of
choirs. Still retrograding, we come to the easy new glees
and four-part songs intended for Singing Classes. These
are all attractive and fresh. The whole book commences
■with 50 pages of the "Rudiments," which are clear and suffi-
ciently comprehensive.

This is a meagre synopsis of a fine book, which is expected
to repeat the successes of the "Harp of Judah," "Choral
Tribute," and other works of the same author.

The Encore.

Especially prepared for Singing Classes. By L. O. Emerson.
Price 75 cents.
The Encore is intended as a successor to the "Song
Monarch," Emerson's " Singing School," and other books of
that character. It is intended to contain all the material, of
all needed variety, that is needed to instruct and entertain a
singing class.

Male Voice Glee Book,

I)Y W. O. PERKINS.

This will be a fresh, new compilation of pieces, in general
not long nor difficult ; of interesting character ; in fact, quite
witliin the reach of ordinary singers.

Any book sent by mail, post-free, for retail price.

The Whippoorwill !

School Song Book. By W. (). Perkins. Price, 50.

in this new and (sure to be) favorite songster.
