lows Hall next Monday evening The cabinet and
general effect Of his stage appointments are not
only elegant but gorgeous in the extreme, and the
tout ensemble far superior TO anything of the sort
ever presented in our city. The Wizard himself
is in appearance and bearing gentlemanlike and
pleasing, and he performs his various extraordi-
nary feats with degree of ease truly artistic.
To enumerate the vast amount of amusement
and establishment which he creates among the au-
dience would be almost impossible. We can only
say to readers, you must 80 and Judge for your

CHILD FoUND.--Mr. Samuel G. Espey called on us
this morning. and wished to notice the fact that
some boys brought small boy, about FIVE or six
years old, to his house yesterday afternoon. He
was very cold, and would have probably frozen to
death, had he not been taken care Of. VI.
The boy gives his name as keenan, or McKeenan,
and has an impeachment in his speech. He gives no
further account of himself not knowing where he
lived. He says, however, he has father, and no
mother. Mr.. Espey says the father can obtain the
boy by calling at the Island Drug Store, corner of
Fourand-ahalf and d streets, on the Island, where
he viii be kept for few days, and If no claim is
made for him, he win then be sent to. the aims

THE CONCERT OF PHILHARMosIc SocIErY LAST
EvENHG.-In compliance with the advertisements,
the public turned out well last evening at Carusis
Saloon, to listen to the concert given by this So
ciety in aid Of the poor. The profits amounted to
about $500, which goes into the hands of the La
dies Union Benevolent Society. tej%
The first part was rather noisy style of music,
and did not strike upon the feelings, and was not
SO rapturously encored some portions Of the
second part The echo song by Mrs. Franklin was
repeated, and the beautiful song by Handel, can
gels bright and fair" sung by Miss Reed, was
rendered very finely and cncorcd. The Irish song
took more from its novelty, than its rendering or
its merits The terzetto from the opera Of Beliss-
rio was also repeated at the vocferous demand Of
the audience
Part third, however, was the most classic and
beautiful portion Of the whole concert Rombergs
cantata, The Power Of Song" which comprises
more beautiful and expressive music than any can
tata Of equal length in the whole realm Of music,
was executed with fidelity and vigor which re-
fleets the very highest credit on the society. II
shows an enthusiasm on the part Of the individual
members, and an ability on the part of the leader
and management which calls for the highest praise,
and we sincerely trust that the society viii give
another concert soon, and afford the people of
Washington another opportunity to listen TO this
beautiful composition.
The Tramp Chorus" which must be heard to
be duly Approximations description would entire
ly fail to give any rational idea of it-closed this
concert, which we venture to say was the most
popular one we have had for years
TaE BENEFIT or DvxRrIsrse.--Sinc this paper
has been issued we have had six advertisements
for lost property; one of which is still TO be found
in columns. In FIVE of these cases each article
has been recovered, 10 wit horse, pair ofspec-
tacles, satin vest, and two gold watches
Does this need any COMMENT Must not folks
be blind who can see no benefit to be derived
from advertising, when such facts as these are
presented before them 3
