Nothing Is more striking IN the wonderful career
NJ JrS1v LIND IN this country than the manner IA
which she sings our old familiar songs, entering our
REGULAR demesne by royal right and reigning there
a Queen. A. everywhere else. Her rendering OF
those Is Ike brighter ray o. light flashing. as ter

So With John Anderson my joe, and With Anld Ro5fr
Grap This latter heard yesterday morning
for the first time, IN company with the largest
morning audience at the best morning concert We
have yet enjoyed Its powerful truth needed no
other evidence than the dewy eyes ant the
far faces all around u.s. lost IN other drapery than
wells. For our own poor part, We depiored more
than ever the austere prejudice which forolds the
luxury Of tears. and consequent cambnc, to maScu-
line eyes. The ballad was altogether new thing
and according to the artists conception perfect
But-as the humbles. layman Of the lalty-we differ
with the conception. JENNY LIND made the song
drama. She has sung nothing with more direct dra-
matte intensity. Its rugged homely reality was sur
prising and startling The personality OF the teller
Of the tale was perfect But 20 chilling con-
junction even after this eXquSltely eloquent
plea against our conception we still cling to IT,

her mind the forms Of that early experience distinct
as ever but no longer actual Passion, properly
speaking, is purged from the remembrance The
heart is hopeless the mind melancholy and the song
is the ballad Of a broken heart. JENNY LIND dd not
sing it So but with the hurried intensity OF present
pasSion-aS If something might yet be done as If there
were crisis to be seized and step taken There
was strain OF hope. although bitterly soHowiul, IN
her rendering Of It. The sap Of life and the hue OF
health were not quite crushed from the flower. The
true sentiment of the song IS not that OF living
though last rose pucked and thrown away, but that
Of faded flower of feeling long since pressed IN the
herbarium OF the heart. We missed the luxury OF
melancholy which is the essential spirit of the song,
vet felt our heart swept and swayed by the genuine
tenderness Of JENNY LIND's treatment We are far
from saving that she was unjust to It's pathos but
she subdued It's pathoS to is passion.
She never sang the sacred songs better. We pre-
fer Handcls come unto me to kuOW that my Redeem
Ct hrefb, and II would be a very ingenious imagna-
ton that could fancy It purely and perfectly
rendered. BELLErTI wisely substituted W rarrlso
for the air from La Sranera, and sang the Post'gi'-
one with the most prompt and CHEEKY effect SAWS
Dsce1d, S0nno from Auber's Muette de Porucl,
was a very beautiful song beautifully sung. We
could wish that our admirable Tenor would be less
ongroSsed by the audience and the orchestra and We
cannot but observe here that SALyI who seems al
WAYS singuary unintereSted IN his songs except as
the occasion OF effects upon the audience, was last
autumn constantly quoted 10 Us as an Illustration OF
feeling IN singing, As contrasted with JENNY LIND
Now SALvI owes his reputation clearly to the natu-
ally sympathetic quality OF his voice, and his ex-
qusite cultivation not at all to any especially arts
tic feeling in the highest sense, which Is always the
greatest charm of the greatest artists. signal ST.
lent illustration of tins feeling is the waiting Of JEN
NYILIND upon the stage after she has sung something
BY a really great master until the accompaniment is
played out, as yesterday after all the sacred songs.
It's always particularly pleasant at these Concerts
to hear the ponderous tread of some gentleman with
musical boots without the fear OF the critics before
his eyes and instigated by muse, securing his re-
treat from the Hall during the delicious dying cadence
Of the Echo Song Which reminds of the orderly,
quiet and efficient manner in which all the ushers
rsPtuity with
which The vast audiences Of these concerts seat
ed, is matter of universal cOngrauatOn, the credit
of which Is due to the ushers. We have several
times had occasion to remark the good-humored firm
ness with which they perform the most unpleasant
duties. when they become necessary, such rs remOv
n parties from wrong good seats into right bad Ones
errors arising from improper understanding OF the
numbers and situations of the seats. The harmony
OF the concerts Is under no small obligation to the
ushers. On Monday evening, at Trpler Hail. Mr..
lie Grand Smith, al The special request Of JEsNY
LIND, takes benefit Mr. Smith is gentleman who
has discharged with singular zeal and ability the
onerous and various duties Of very aborious Office

honor.
