Of the conreu. Jenny Lind was received
with more than usua, enihusiasm, q posi-

powers. The applause was not mechanical
nor was il the expression Of mere adnlfa-
ton; it wa heartfelt and spontaneous.
Our fr-t impressions Of Jenny Lind are
confirmed. We have wasted no enthusiasm

have known, the Artist Woman. Her true
voice Is the audible vibration Of her true

Mozart, in the wild melodies of the people,
and in those vocal echoes OF nature which
critics call the mere play and gymnastics Of
