prepared for the evening, and the friends of the
cantstrics in vain represented that she was tired
better to let her enjoy little rest At last, 1t be-
iug remarked, that ID was Sunday, and that it was
not well to pr0fane the day of the Lord, the enthu
sastic crowd agreedto give the sersnade on the fol-
lowing day.
We need not say that all the journalists stand
sentnels around the Irish singer, 10 notice all her
movements. Her actions are registered: "she ap.
peared at the Office" Z" she had such toilet
" she has spplauded such actors at such passages"
"she has hidden under such q bonnet and veil her
beautiful eyes," "her intelligent and expressive
face" and her ebony hair" After the opera, the
Swan returned to her hotel to be present when the
cuted, was as unanimously attended, and as well
accompanied as any Of those given to Jenny Lind.
1t was given by the same Philharmonic Society
which had so n.any times cheered in Broadway the
name of Jenny Lind. That society I'D learned
Irish melodies, just as year ago they had studied
Swedish airs. And in the middle of the crowd, es-
cortiDg the musicians, and applauding with enthu-
siasm and between every piece shouting tremendous
hurrahs, it was easy to recognise, torch 10 hand,
thirty or forty Of the same tiremen who burnt so
much rosin in honor of the Nightingale. 1t is
true, indeed, these iremen who had constituted
themselves the body guards Of Jenny Lind-who
had adopted her colors-who were always ready,
night and day, to accompany her and illuminate
the city on her passage, present without shame
or Iemorse, waving their unfaithful torches under
the windows of the Swan.
On the day following began the receptions; numer
Gus persons solicited the honor of beng presented
and proclaimed after their visit that it was the
most delightful day of their life In spite of the in
cessant tide of visiters, Miss Hayes found time to
20 to the office of the NEw YORK HERALD, which
Jenny Lind had also visited. But Miss Hayes was
not only pleased 30 the office, the paror and the
library Of the editorial rooms, she visited also the
counting rooms and the printing office she exam
ined the presses, and asked explanations about
their mechanism she wanted to pass under aud upon
the platform OF the circular press, in order to see
it working. She desired TO also the presses
which print the OF the HERALD and the press
for the theatrical posting bills, and she retired ied
with Admiration. On the other hand, the fortunate
editor of the HERALD proclaims that Miss Hayes
has spirit full of wit, gance and good taste full Of
grace, candor and sin picity, ard that she displays
in every thing, wonderful pesceptive faculties he
believed also it was bat just to consecrate IN her
honor three four columns; and the Nighting ale,
so much welcomed of old, Obtained not single line.
The Nightingale has danced in a masked ball, and
neither her costume, nor her hair-dress, nor the
number of her dances, nor the names of her cava-
liers, have been made known. The Mig htingale is
long life to the Swan But let the
Swan take care her turn may come: the list of the
singing birds is not ex aausted; Barnum is yet full
of life and his purse full of dollars and paper
nounces that Nine. Sontag will visit the United
States next year,
