BRAHAM, THE VocALIsT.-A foreign correspond
ent of the New York Spirit of the Times gives an
interesting account of an interview at Boulogne
with Braham the veteran vocalist, who will be re-
membered by the musical public of this country
He says:
Snow shall try and give you as exact an nc
count as possible Of what was said and done, and
as good description as can of his appearance
for he is certainly living wonder. There was
present a. Mr. Westmacot, brother he told me to
the sculptor, and uncle to an old acquaintance OF
ours, doctor of the same name, who formerly
lived in New York; Miss Bolton, the sister of the
late Mrs Braham, my friend Mrs. R., her daugh-
ter and Mr.. Pipes. was not u. little surprised to
see Mr.. Braham walking about the room without
any support-no stick-and when | was intro
duced he gave me quite good shake of the hand,
saying, in most jovial manner, take chair,
sir: happy to see you've are Just taking tea,
will you Join us-I want to chat little about New
York N
she was dressed in black, and with the excep-
ton of being little thinner than when in New
York, he has not changed one particle in the last
fourteen years, when last saw him standing on the
steps Of the Astor whisting for his dog! And he is
actually letting grow little moustache, which has
an indescribably ludicrous appearance on person
of eighty!
"Having with me the programme of one OF my
concerts given in California ! showed il to him.
He took it, and though the print is very small Inc
read crery icord OF it-seenilngly TO WISH TO show
us that he could-without spcctaccs! lie then
turned to me and said, Come, sir, will you sing
me song!'
s.sWtR pleasure, if it will afford you tho least
amusement, said |. E
Accordingly my pipes were set a,going-and
when fnshed-what do you think Why he, the
veteran singer going towards the piano, said to
me- sr rl#
SHOW, sir, you have done me the favor to sing
me a song, | will give you one of mne!
ssHe sang the death of Nelson gloriously! /
never heard him give it with greater power and
effect 1t was treat, assure you, and was so
unexpected But ] think his reply to me, upon
my asking him quite seriously, of course, If ne in
tended again visiting America, the greatest thing
on record--sWhy, sir, l can hardly say but l
mayp gn -, ;,
s'He spoke of many in New York-and ofthe old
Tabernacle, where he made his debui-said ne was
glad the Americans seemed to like Alboni so; and
made this remark, as near as can remember,
in reference to her matchless voice: Il never
heard so fine voicc-it is like gum tree, sir-it
oozcs out likc and in her pathetic passages would
draw tears from stones!

Mr Wehster's Will

81 make this win upon the faith of what has been said
to me by my friends of means which will be found to
ry out my reasonable wishes.'
This remarkable passage occurs in a document
which has Just been published in the Wing journals
under the title of Mr.. Webster's WILL
1t will be remembered that an effort was made
some time ago. to raise money for the purpose of pay
ing off certain membranes on Mr. Wehsers estate.
and thereby enable to descend to his heirs as he de-
ylsed That effort failed, State Street buttoned
up its pockets sighed and shook its head in response
to this final appeal. The rich Wings had buried Mr.
Webster grandly; and had made provision for mon
ument TO commemorate him, in connection with their
own vain-gorous osentation but the idea of carry
ing out ms Will, who, during his life, was the pur-
chased instrument of their will not to be enter
tanned for moment. And so Mr.. Webster's will re-
mains mere testamentary abstraction unless we may
consider it Indictment filed for posterity against
his friends Worcester SPY.
