Sims Reeves. the English Tenor.
The London correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune wTites:-
''The best living tenor in Europe is, I be-
leve, Mr.. Sims Reeves. | have heard all the
best of the Italian, French, and German sing
ers, and know not one whose voice is so melO-
dious, though there are some who are more
effective as opera performers. Mr.. Reeves is
a man Of about forty-fve. He is so dark in
complexion, and his hair is so crisp and curly,
that they would hardly have allowed him to
land at Charleston in the old days. He is
whimsical and eccentric. He refuses an encore
point blank, and have known him to stop
short in an Oratorio and sit down, because two
or three people came into the hall while he
was singing. He rendered one modern piece
so tepderly that many were moved to tears
(nOt TO the improvement of their charm5.) l.
is a story OF child-angel, who is overtaken
by the tempest and compelled to ask mOrtals
for shelter, her only way back being on ray
of light She beats her wings at each window
pane and offers their hearts desire to whom
soever will take her in. But no one heeds her
till she comes to the humble door, where she
was heard by weary woman.
"Pale, worn, and thin,
With the brand upon her
OF want and SIM
This woman .-,
And did her best
To dry her pnOns
And make her rest
With tender pity
Upon her breast
'And then came the reward-thc hearts
desire,
"'When the Eastern morning
Grew bright and red,
Up the first sunbeam
The angel 1ed,
Having kissed the woman
And left her-dead.
GAS l noticed the powerful hold that Reeves
obtained over his audience by the feeling
with which he sung these words, and the sym
pathy the sentiment received, l could not but
think how different the ideal is from the real,
and how little in keeping with that hushed
breath and those moistened eyes would be the
treatment in actual life of the weary woman,
"'Pae, worn and thin,
With the brand upon her
or want andbsin.'
"But you will see that, though we are so
awfully classical at these concerts, we let a
slip of new music in sometimes, and, in q
guardian way, also admit our humanity"

censure against the blacks being uttered.
The papers TEEN with denunciations of the
men who melted the negroes to violence;
and well they may; for more outrageous
conduct could not have been committed.
The negroes are spoken of simply as dupes
OF their radical leaders, and no blame is
attached TO them, but they are treated
with the utmost leniency, and all proper
effort is being made to convince them that
their old masters instead of wishing to
oppress them are their best friends.
AS the ignorant tools of bad men the
negroes are warned that such conduct can
only result in their own injury. They are
enioined to cut themselves loose from the
radical associations, that have been thrown
around them take counsel of their true
friends, and work with them for the mater

These riots have deepened the animosi-
'ty existing among the southern people
against the radical interlopers who have
done SO much to their injury. They prove
more forcibly than ever that they are bold,
bad men; who win stop at nothing to Sc
cure their ends men ofiniamous character
who play upon the prejudices and fear of
the ignorant negroes for the purpose of ar-
raying them against the permanent resi-.

they result in driving the entire class from
