years with us, during which time, he has been more
successful and has had more iavors conferred upon
him, than before extended to any perfor-
mer He will sail to-day, at II o'clock, in the spen-
did packet ship Baltimore, for Havre, in France; and
from thence he will proceed to Paris, the capital TO
commence, in the European metropolis, his career,
which is destined, no doubt, to be successful as
his career in .he United States.
On looking back at his career in the United States.
we are struck with the immense fiuor of excite
ment and popularity, that accompanied him wherever
he went, and particularly for its being sustained Tor
two years. He gave his first concert ia the United
States the Park Theatre in this city, on the 2sd of
November 1913, and the building was crowded to
excess. He gave six in all at the Park and 1t
was then deemed advisable, by his friends and ad-
mrers, for him to have his series of concerts at
the Tabernacle, building capable Of holding some
three or four thousand persons He did so and for
several nights that building was likewise crowd
ed with his admirers. On one occasion, he
performed TO seven thousand persons, for the
American Institute, in the of Nibo's gar
den. From New York, Ole Bull travelled all over
the United States Canada, and the principal islands
In the West Indies; and in every place h. visited the
same excitement and popularity, the same phrenzy
OF public feeling, was manifested towards him. In
fact, his whole course altogether unprecedent-
ed He travelled over one hundred thousand miles
IN this country, giving concerts in every place of
consequence, and invariably with the greatest sue
cess. From his first landing until his late farewell
concert in this city, he gave about 200 concerts,
some Of which netted him the sum OF $500, while
others amounted to $4,000, those in the city OF
New York; but averaging the who lie 200 concerts at
800 each he received for his performances in this
country, in two years, the immense sum of 900.
Besides exhibiting his endow ments as musician,
he has shown himself philanthropst, in giving
concerts for the benefit of benevolent institutions
throughout the country, which yielded them sum
exceeding $4,000, and he has paid to musicians
and other performers who acted as accompaniment,
over $4,000.
In musical composition, too, he has not been idle,
and has shown himself possessed of talent Of high
order Having visited all the natural curiosites of
this countryside Mammoth Gave of ofKcntucky, the
Falls of Niagara and travelled the lonely prairie
his contempiatve mind gave vent to its overflow
ing conceptions OF their grandeur in composing the
p" Solitude Of the Prairie" " Niagara" Psalm Of
Davd,' and The Memory of Washington"
which he afterwards performed on his favorite in
s,rument, with orchestral accompanlments,
to the delight OF thousands. While in the
West Indies he likewise composed his " Re.
cuerdos de la Habana" and the "Agraco Cubano,"
which were received with the same demonstrations
Of admiration which characterized his other com.
positions. He also composed many fantasi as with
ont accompaniments.
To no performer that ever visited our shores,
were SO many compliments paid. Pieces of poetry
add IN IN IN
vases s,medals jewelry &c, were presented to himby
various corporations Indeed, his whole remarkable
career was perfectly unique, and unexamped in
brilliancy and splendor. Coming from the most
northern part of Europe, the birth place of Wodin
or Odin, the land Of northern minsresy, the people
associated with him and looked upon him, in fact,
the incarnation OF that northern divinity Neither
was the spebroken to the conclusion, but kept
up uninterruptedly to his taking his farewell at the
Tabernacle short time since, on which occasion
the capacity of that building was tested to the ut
most; and at the conclusion, when ne stepped for
ward TO bid the American people farewell, he so
briefly and patheticaly referred to his here,
his success and his sorrow at leaving, that there
were many ladies' seen in tears-indeed, one young
lady was much affected thn she was carried out
of the house by her father. The following. publish

feeling toward hm:-
Farewell to Ole Bull.
C.
There fountain in my heart
Whose deeps had not been stirred
thirst for music in my soul
My ear had never heard
feeling Of the incomplete
To all bright things allied
sense of something beautiful,
Untitled, unsatis6ed.
But, walked beneath thy master hand,
A foretaste of that deep full life
That shall know in Heaven
In that resistlc.s spell, for once
The Vulture of Unrest,
That whets its besk upon my heart,
Lies, charmed, within my breast
Pale Memory and flushed Hope forget,
Ambition sinks to sleep:
And Ger my spirit falls bliss
SO perfect that weep
Oh Stranger though thy Farewell notes
Now on the breeze may sigh,
Yet treasured in our thrilling hearts
Their echo shall not die.
Thouat brought us, from thy Northern home
Old Norway's forest tones;
Wild melodies from ancient lands
OF palaces and thrones.
Take back the "Prairie's Solitude"
The voice ofthat dry sea,
Whose bilowy breast is dyed with flowers,
Made audible by thee.
Take back with thee what ne'er before
To Musics voice was given
The anthem that +" Niagara" chauuts
Increasingly to Heaven.
The spirit OF People, walked
By Freedoms battle cry
The Memory Of their Washington
Their song Of Victory
Take back with thee loftier Fame
A prouder niche in Art
Fresh laures from our virgin soil,
And-take a Nations heart
Farewell Ole Bull, and may the same spirit Of
truth, simplicity and genius which has hitherto at
tended your journey through the new world, ac
company you revisitng the scenes of the old
continent.
