BALTIMORE, Saturday Evening Dec. 7.
This morning the doors Of the Front-st Theater
were thrown open for the sale Of tickets for Jenny
Lind's first Concert here, which comes off on Mon
day evening. The weather was far from being
favorable, having rained necessarily throughout
the day. Notwithstanding, the sale was well at.

bly, spirited. The prices paid were all premiums or
the minimum of So. The auctioneer, Mr.. Gibson,)
true to announcement, took his position at 10
o'clock. He first pointed out, in true business
spirit the muItifarous advantages connected With
the purchase OF the first seat Mr.. Barnum APP
peared and pledged himself that the sale would be
perfectly free and unnfuenced by any indirect
interference, as far as he was concerned also,
that the purchaser Of the first seat would be re-
CURED TO " fork over on being declared the win
ner" The audience manifested their entire ap-
probation at this announcement and warmly ap-
plauded Mir. Barnum. Sale proceeds-first ticket
set up-silence reigns triumphant. First bid,
$50, then $40, $50, So, and finally $780, at which
figure it was knocked down to Mr.. J. H. White
hurst, who successfully transferred himself by said
process from being an humble member OF society
to the ranks Of the distinguished few. His pro-
motion vac daily acknowledged and approved by
the audience, whose plaudits and calls for the vic
tor ofthe day were certainly calculated to realize
the most aanguine expectations as to the effect

Romance of the Russian Pron,,er.

One OF the most prominent heroes Unpopular COS.
sip along the Prussan frontier Of Russia is, at this
moment, smuggler, Krotinus by name, Of whom
romantic stories are told that might make another
chapter in Robin Hood As boy, he was IA

men, among whom he named Lieutenapts n,i,sd
Themselves under his lead. and SO demeaned
themselves that they became general favoytes
with the peasantry. But the Court Of St. Peters.
burg recognized no such irregular heroism, and
set price of coo silver roubles upon the head
of Krotinus. The peasants, however, took no
pains to earn the sum, and hes,remained still at
large.
A story tells that in the course of the last Sum.

interior OF Russia No one heard of him, no one
saw him. but in the beginning Of September.

about for assistance and succeeded in capturing
Krotinus and bis friend without battle. Bat the
appearance OF the young smuggler, his flashing
eye his short stature his long beard and face pale
with sickness, suggested the suspicion that there
was something unusual behind all this, and at the
same time peasant coming up, recognized him

rescued near Georgenburg by band OF eighteen

To JENNY LIND, AcHENDACH, OELENscHLA'
GER, HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, IHoIiWALD-
SEN and FREpRIKA BREMER, we have to add the
name of another illustration Of Northern genius in
another kind that of NIELs w. GADE, Danish
composer-the first Northerner, to our know
edge, who has aimed at the dignity of the highest
art in music with intrinsic promise of permanent
success. He first announced himself in few
slight bat characteristic compositions published in
scandinavian collections. But his FIRST great i'm
preston upon Germany and thence upon Europe
was produced by the overture to OSSian perform
ed at Leipsie, in the winter of 1872 The public
was struck by its Northern strain, and perceived
something new under the sun. SO long &C,
customcd to the glow Of B eothoyeu, SAYS Ger
man critic to whom we are mainly indebted
FOX our further knowledge of Gade, the sudden
plunge among the icebergs was refreshing. Then
came the symphony in A minor, for which Men
delssobn was most warmly interested and
which caused the same enthusiasm, making
Schumann look well to his laurels. The impression
was confirmed and deepened by the personal ap
pearance of the composer at Leipsic, soon after,
IN the year 1874, He was young, modest, OF geniaI
and athletic manners and the outline OF his face
recalled the beautiful profile OF Mozart, although
the immoveable mien and the fixed eye lessened
this resemblance and suggested the North, he
became at once Mendelssohns fayorite and that
Of the Leipsic public. He continues to be the lat
Ter, it seems, although now not without severe
criticism.
His next symphony was less tavoraby re,
eeived The German influence had begun to
neutralze his national inspiration. He recovered
it somewhat, however, in an overture, "Ijs tie
Highland" which is a pendant Of the Ossian,
and is intended to be single sketch in that work
Naturally enamored of Ossian, Gade wrote next,
"C0arala dramatic song for solo, chorus and
orchestra. He followed with other works, but
all like the second symphony-too decidedly Ger
man. Chambe. music ne has also written, and a
Danish Comic Opera produced at Copenhagen in
the Summer of l849, but as yet quite unknown in
Germany. This list, we believe, comprises all
the efforts Of the composer up to the present time
1t appears from review of the impression of
these works, that so long as Gade devotes himself
simply and instnctively to the exercise of bis art
he writes with skill and success But wheD he
