PARoDI's CONCERT 1t was once a matter
as
certain artist of whom he was DESTROYS of
writing was so uniformly excellent in the per-
fOrmance of every part that there was liter
ally nothing left but an opportunity for such
praise as had already been lavished to super
fluffy. Such is, indeed, the case with Parodi.
She needs 40 praise-the extreme attractive
Iess of her concerts, the excellent selection Of
pieces, which can be seen in another column.
Her incredibly extensive musical repertoire,
her talented assistants, and her own miracu.
| lous vocal and dramatic powers, are known to
the world. 1t is needless to state that her
concert on Tuesday evening, will be as crowded
as it can be, since we have been informed that
| the demand for places is enthusiastic, and
| that we shall witness an array of beauty and
fashion almost without precedent. But why
| is this to be the only concert? Must 1t be So
Can we not be gratifed in hearing our great
| national song, " The Star Spangled Banner"
in which she is unsurpassed?

large number of ladies and gentlemen have
visited the model hall and gallery of the
National Institute, located in the u s. Patent
office buildings. They were mostly strangers
in Washington, and desired to see all that was
beautiful and curious. Such visiters are paid
well by visit to those splendid halls. There
is enough there to attract the student and in.
ventor, and the time Of such men is never
misspent there.
