Halliday what he thought OF the little lady who
sang so pretnly by the side OF that tall young man,
(Mr Draylon) He said "She was like a litlle
white cloud IN the sunse.--altogether beautiful
And how ABOUT that tall young man !! His voice
was like the fall of big river in deep place
strong-very strong"
these painted warriors and "Native" civilians, Civ
ing vent to their emotions, laughed and cracked
their Jokes with Infinite enjoyment. Old Wah bon

but as much tor the merit of the singers of the

You are TO have this oratorio in New York be-

reception OF 1t among the Gothamites.
