sweetness OF that great soprano, which fathers
who heard her will in vain try to describe to
their children, although her fame for MANY
generations will be as great as it is at present
The reception which Madame Grisi received
last night was one perfectly unprecedented in
the history OF operate farewelis. When she
appeared on the stage in Norma the clappinp
and braves, and the waving Of hats and hand.
