Those which we're most flexible aud true,in
this instance, lost something in the extent
of space. or by position. In the concert
room, a certain power Of voice is i%ndispcn-
sible to give clearness and fullness Of
tone, so that q sentiment may be convey
cd, as the most dulcet accent of the con-
vocational voice goes for nothing in the
orator. In proportion as such power Of
musical elocution was reached, was prob
ably the success OF the young ladies as
singers. Either of them may certainly
reach q power to command the hearing
pf q larger room than that we occupied,
and assure the effort of effect. The
critic Of song with us is universal. and
though in nothing has art gone further in
development Of the faculty of nature, re-
tanning the use of nature merely, not in
dancing, or speaking, than in giving
finish and effect to the singers express
sion, each has q standard high enough
to deserve effort and to reward it.
The composition of the young Profess
sor, which was thrown in, and disclosed it.
self as one of the gems of the series, was
certificate enough of the talent which he
has devoted to the art, which our good
fortune and his liberal acquisitions ena-
BILE him to cultivate here. Transferred
from an older condition of society, yet one
simpler and kindlier in many respects
than our own, where the want of music.
like those in useful learning or practical
art, is richly supplied, he brings us the
training they adopt, the talent they employ,
and evidently is sure Of success in pro-
portion as he is welcomed by a spirit in
sympathy with his own. Even national
differences of genius will occur, but the
elements of musical art, the principles Of
musical training, if we have these Alright,
may set the very ladders and steady them
by use, by which native genius may as.
pire the most successfully.

Congressional.

The Committee of Conference had sew |
eral meetings without coming to any def.
mite results until Tuesday, when Mr.. Har-
ris submitted a proposition which was a.
greed to, aud was to this effect that Con-
gross shall donate to Kansas to be appro-
priated to internal improvements, certain
specified lands and other e~mo!uments,
amounting to ten or fifteen millions Of dol.
lars. If they accept this they are to be
admitted under the Lecompton Constitu.
ton. If they reject it they are to re-
main a territory till they have $4,000 in.
habitants. This is to DO submitted to the
people of Kansas. This election is to be
in the control of the Executive, being
conducted by three Federal Office hol.
dcrs, and two leading Republican heads of
the Kansas Legislature. This proposition
has been submitted to the House, and with
/: the Anti-Leconptonites meet, of course,
with great indignation, nor is it favored
by all the Southern Democrats.
1t is unnecessary to make comments Oh
this. Basencss is written upon every part
of it, as it has been remarked, it is a
"bribe and a threat" and fitted only to
excite the contempt of every honest man.
The bribe might les'en somewhat the vote
against the Constitution. but the effect of
the scheme can be nothing more than to
save the administration from q clear de-
feat. The fate of this ordinance is as yet
quite uncertain. On its presentation to
the House q motion was carried postponing
the question, and an amendment, which
&c, the time the second Monday in May,
wa. subsequently reconsidered.
This course Of the administration locks
very little like a desire for a final settle
ment of the trouble, as there is hardly q
possibility Of its acceptance on a popular
vote, though the bait is extremely allur-
ing and dextrously thrown. and 1t rejected
it contemplatcs nothing less than q perpet-
nal Kansas imbroglio for years to come.

Soiree Musicale.

The Seminary Soiree exhibits the sys.
tenn Of instrumental training pursued
there, very favorably. No doubt can be
felt of the singular capacity of the Teach
or, in this direction, or Of his fidelity and
t~horoughness in imparting to his pupils
the principles of his system. We have
timists in these from the beginning. care.
full and steady, till by degrees tho habit of
time becomes a mental characteristic.
So in harmony. The pupil is accustomed
to no music but such as developed itself to
the perceptions Of true science this only
is heard the natural aptitude is trained
in no other, and by degrees the sensibility
becomes the more exquisite to this, in
proportion US its purity is greater, and
only that which represents a feeling and
wins a sympathy. is expressed as with
familiar objects of sight. the machine is
beautiful in proportion to its simplicity,
and an animal only as its points present
the combination of power or Aeetness,
which the skilled observer understands.
The well trained pupil acquires the mas.
ter's ear, and having learned to dlscrim.
mate is prepared to combine /: she knows
the art Of "~untwisting all the chains
that tie the hidden soul of harmony
and in her practice she learns no other.
In these two particulars, the execution of
Mr. Bolts pupils indicates real progress.
The facility they gain will depend of
course, on natural adaptation, in the me.
chanical and intellectual sense, and en-
assiduity in learning. 1t will usually be
advanced in proportion as it is rightly ap.
piled, for no progress is 80 SOW as that in
the wrong direction.
In this view of the soiree. n philosoph.
ical pleasure is Obtained to one who has
seen the errors of misapplication, and
feels that in the work he witnesses, so
delicate or immature as it may be, that
it is sure. Various steps of such pro
gress are before him /; by the masters
system, each one is tending to. one or au-
other may be approaching or arriving at,
the masters power, bearing her own taste
and talent along, with which to use it.
This praise we can give to the Soiree
as the exhibition of a school class, il
needs no higher. In respect to musical
pleasure in this department, the audience
with ourselves seemed to be satisfied
and participated, especially in the eight
hand p~ieccs,a reasonable share of the con
noiseur's delight.
In vocal display, the sweetness and pu
rity Of young voices have a test sufficient
ly severe, perhaps in the ordinary rang'
of parloar singing, 10 charm the partial
ity or please the courtesy OF friends

Encouraging Home Industry.
MID L b r Y;

Encouraging Home Industry.
Tao policy of giving encouragement to
industrial pursuits in our country has been
discussed, until every reading, thinking
man is familiar with the arguments, and
every sensible man convinced Of their
soundness. We are all pleased when we
observe that trade IS recovering,-that the
manufacturing aud other Industrial in
terests Of the country are looking up,"l
for we are sure that we all, however hum
Bile our position, shall in some measure
enjoy the general prosperity. But while
contemplating this great desideratum, we
look upon the CAUSES upon which it de-
pends as too remote and vast for individ-
ual influence, and look to wise legislation
to give a true tendency 10 affairs that con-
Germ the country at large.
The principle, however, is capable of
minor applications, and can be brought
within a compass. in which every individ-
ual may, and should, feel responsible to
himself and to the community in which
he lives for its proper use. There is an
instructive disposition in most minds 10
dcpreciate whatever pertains to home and
its vicinity,-to magnify the excellences
of things at a distance and things far
fetched. The encouragement, or indul-
gence of this is wrong in principle and
~cminently pernicious in practice. 1t is
giving counties to rival pursuits abroad
to the disadvantage and discouragemant
of those at home, which it is the duty and
fer the interest Of all TO encourage and in
every proper way to sustain. When some
would. be.uncomonly shrewd man tells US
how he has made money by purchasing i
bill Of goods, or obtaining some piece OF
mechanism at a distance, with which he
could DC supplied at a reason bile rate in
his own town, we are satisfied he has done
o very foolish thing,-has INDUCED a
practice, which, to the extent it may be
carried, is dc tructivc to those interests
which it is his du'y and for his interest to
cherish. 1t is easy to see how temporal
ry advantages may be gained by such
traffic, as most tradesmen and mechanics
will discriminate in such cases.
The subject is capable of easy and va,
ried application, and may be pro6tably
brought even to ones own hearthstone. 1t
naturally grows out of the maxim DO as
you would be done by" Therefore en-.
courage, by your patronage and good WILL
your own artizans, tradesmen, bank, co.,
lece, schools and professional men when
you must and always favor the best.
And remember when SO doing, that ycu
are not only adding to the su stance and
reputation Of your own locality and tn,
individuals in it, but that you are in
c~reasing your OWL couvcniences and ac'
quiring q right to expect reciprocity
and which is by no means the least I'M
portant promoting f%raternal geniality il
your own ne.ghborhood. ..

SHADE TREEs.-If persona who bring
Shade Trees here to sell would be very
particular to bring none except such as
have u large amount Of roots, and taken
up carefully, they would meet with a more
ready sale, and at batter prices. Now is
the time for transplanting and those who
buy trees should remember that a poor
tree is not worth the expense. Should it
live, which is doubtful, it will have q slow
growth, an unhealthy appearance, and be
a continual memorial of an economy
which costs more than it saves.
Within a few years our village has
been greatly beautified in the number and
variety Of trees planted but there is yet
room for many more. For making our
homes still more pleasant, our walks still
more attractive, our streets still more
beautiful, who will not try to at least set
out one shade tree?
We have recently been using An
drews Patent Safeguarding Safety Gas
Lamp. The great superiority of this lamp
to the common fluid burners, now uni
versally in use, is its perfect safety. 1t
is said, and we believe it, that it is impos.
sible for this lamp to explode. This quail
ity is best appreciated by those unfortun-
at ones on the inuumerablc list of SUI.
ferers by such casualties. 1t requires no
trimming-one wick will last an indefinite
length of time. The light is made by the
se!f.generation .ofgas from common burning
fluid, and is in every sense a gas light, the
most plea .ant that can DO made. 1t is
claimed that there is by it a saving of
twenty-five per cent, but of this we are not
yet ublo to speak. This burner can be
readily adjusted to any fluid lamp and we
advise all who use fluid, and especially
those who have careless servants, and child.
TT, to adopt it. They are for sale by a.
