PAUL JULIEN, M'DLLE DURAND, and Mr..
c. WEIsE, who are to give a Concert at the
City Hall, next Wednesday evening, are thus
spoken of by the editor of the Binghamton
Republican;
Brigham Hall was not altogether so full
last evening as it was on Monday evening
nevertheless the audience was large, respect
able, and capable of approaching and enjoying
the richness, sweetness, and excellence of the
musical feast, to which they were treated. 1t
was, indeed, as we anticipated, a more glori-
GUS Concert in every respect, than the former
one. Those who attended there and could
not feel contented and satisfied, not to say
charmed and delighted, will hardly be able to
realize their share of the grandeur and beauty
of Elysium.

the same time the facts which he sets forth
Mr.. c. Weise was delightful in his Am
AEON Polka very good in his Souvenir de
Riei,' (du Rigo) and glorious in his Vari-
alton de Concert What force and sweet
ness did he not employ: We do not know
whether we should admire him most as an
artist or composer.
M'dlle Durand was, if possible more charm
ing than the first evening. Her toilet was
very tasteful, her beautiful face so enchanting

pure, so pathetically, and so intensely What
fervor did she not employ in that fairy Cava-

taste, the echo dying in the distance with in
describable beauty and effect. This was a

And then her rendering of Comm thro' the
Rye was so enchanting; and her appearance
and gestures so graceful and expressive
Her What Airy Sounds, by Sir Henry
Bishop, we will not attempt to describe; we
could not do her justice.-She is great vocal
list.
Finally, what shall we say of Paul Julien,
the greatest Violin genius of this century Is

or fairy Ellis that we at one time hear such
a heavenly harmony of the sweetest sounds,
and again those beautiful rumbling sounds,
such if the imprisoned spirits prayed for their
deliverance. He plays with such ease and
grace the bow and fingers dance over the
melodious strings with magical precision; the

Julien is monarch of the Violin. Nothing
could surpass the beauty Of The Witches
Dance The Death of Madame Sontag,
true lamentation Of a mourning son, on the
grave of beloved mother, of deep bereaved
scholar on the tomb of his adored master, was
exquisitely rendered. Humans Prayer of
Massaniello, was wonderfully executed.
The Concert was brilliant one. Each of
the Artists were encored several times, and
they favored the audience with many beauti-
full pieces not on the programme.
Bouquets were showered in abundance upon
them. After the first part of the programme
was performed, the ladies were favored with
either a piece Of music or portrait-the
choice being left with each donee to select
which she pleased. Many indeed the great
majority, like the music well, but the portrait
better. We hope to see this excellent trio of
artists in Binghamton once again.
