The DE KATow-WEHLI CoNcERT.-Max
Strakosh announces in another part of this
paper that he has made arrangements by
which the renowned Violoncellist, Mile De
Katow, and the distinguished Piano-forte
virtuoso and composer, Mr.. Jas. M. Wehli,
will give grand Concert at Naughton
Hall on Saturday evening next, assisted by
Mad. Henrietta Behrens, the young and
popular American prima donna-S. Beh-
rens, musical director and conductor. /
We condense from a cotemporary, The
Buffalo Courier of the 1st inst, a brief no.
rtice of the characteristics of each of these
celebrated performers, who gave Concert
in that city the Saturday evening previous:
Mile De Katow has a pleasant face, ca
pable OF varied expression, and one may
easily read in it an intense, dreamy sympa-
thy with the utterances of her instrument,
the violoncello. Although we had coupled
the idea of awkwardncss with her identi-
fication with the violoncello, we found that
she had womanly knack of handling her
instrument with exceeding grace, and we
were compelled to acknowledge that her
right to win sweet music from it, was as le-
gitimate as that of Mr.. Mollenhauer, or
any body else. He must needs be a stoic,,
and without nerves. who can listen to the
witching tones of De Katow's violOncello
without experiencing a delight that will
not admit of analysis.
Mr.. James NJ. Wehli, the distinguished
pianist and composer, is an artist in the
most comprehensive sense of that term. He
has an intelligent face, which is only seen
by his audience in state of the most per-
feet repOse. He conceals his art better than
any artist we ever saw, and his most mag
niticent combinations are never suggestive
of difficulty, effort, or, least of all, eXhaus-
ton. In this respect he has reached the
very perfection of art. But what shall we
say of his performances? With the breadth
and majestic sweep of Thalberg, he COM
bines the sentiment and brilliancy of Gott-
schalk, and to these must be added peculiar
qualities not readily defined, which strong
ly individualize his genius. His execution
is nothing short of marvellous, and his LETT
hand performances alone would make him
famous.
Mime Behrens is a charming ballad sing
ch eli a1 i'm, y,Ia
ing the audience she was called upon to en-
tertain Saturday evening, is satisfactory
proof of the genuineness of her claims to fa-
vorable recognition. ,.lt. de.A'
The musical director, Mr.. Behrens, met
his obligations handsomely, as he always
does, and altogether the concert was such a
one as may not soon be vouchsafed again.
OPERA HoUsE.-There was quite large
audience at the Opera House last night,
showing that the new company is rapidly
gaining in public favor. The "Wizard
Skiff" was finely presented; its grand scenes
and startling incidents being handsomely
portrayed. Frequent applause greeted Miss
Williams and Others assisting in the play,
especially as they appeared in some Of the
striking tableaux. The farce was received
with repeated and loud bursts of genuine
merriment.
Tonight the military drama of the
''French Spy," which was so successfully
performed the other evening, will be re-
peated. Miss Williams is equally at home
in her several transformations in this excit-
ing play. In the afterpiece, Mr.. Vincent
will appear as Paddy Miles, a character in
which he creates fund of merriment. The
bill is good one, and the house should be
filled.
BIOLOGICAL LEcTUREs.-Owing to the
pressure of business, we were unable last
evening to be present at Naughton Hall at
the novel lecture and curious experiments
of Professor Williams. But from what we
have heard and know of the Professor,
those who had the good fortune to be pres
ent, must have been highly entertained
We scarcely know Of anything that COM
hines so much rational amuspmpnt with an
