GOTTsoHALK ON THE UNIoN.-During
the late provincial tour of this celebrated
pianist in the Canadas, he gave an exhi-
bition Of his patriotism to our neighbors.
At his concert in Montreal the house
being crammcd to overlooking, loud calls
were made for Dixie" as soon as the
pianist took his seat. Such reception
for moment naturally confused the plan
list, but collecting his ideas at once, he
faced his audience and sat in silence
for a few moments, with folded arms.
When the tumult ceased, he turned to his
piano, and as one of his companions says,
played Hail Columbia" tho "Star
Spangled Banner" and " Yankee Doodle"
as they never were before played on that
instrument The audience were compile
tely shamed, and acknowledging the re-
Duke, were liberal in their applause du-
ring the rest of the evening. 1t may not
he generally known that Gottschalk is a
native of New Orleans, and for this exhi-
bition of his patriotism he should have
full credit After the concert, he re-
marked to friend that he would have
seen the audience in Tophct before he
would have complied with their demand.
