forts OF these gentlemen. Our citizens all re-
member the late performances of the sGermani-
ans In this city, and the exquisite solo perform
ances OF MIR. Schultze the voln-a PLAYER of
rare merit at that time. He has since acquired
graceful abandon of style that makes his listeners
forget that his performances is the result of long
years OF studlous practice. Mrs. Long is a most
accomplished singer. and has left an immense
impression CT her talents here. Her singing last

make another musical visit to Washington at their
earliest convenience.

book, and he administered the oath with becoIn-
ing gravity; after which, the appraisers departed
about the work, and the officer taking a seat
thought To read a chapter in the testament for a
novelty, when to his amaZement he discovered
that the book was copy of Shakespeare. He kept

Hughes has invited Father O'Toolc to take a
congregation in New York city, where his ser
vices are perhaps more urgently needed by the
Church than anywhere else in the country; and
IL is believed that the Rev. Father will accept
