NEW YORK, June 3, 1870
sacred Concert Par Excellence.
Mr.. Fisk announces that In consequence Of the
great success that attended the 9th Regiment
reception given last Friday evening, he will
next Sunday evening give at the Grand Opera
House sacred concert" 1t may not be
very easy to trace the logical sequence of the
two events. 1t may not be very easy to see
why so solemn and majestic an affair as a
''sacred concert should be the natural aud in
evitable result of a ball in which the opera
bog6e element was represented with the opera
bog6e disguise left off. But then Mr.. Fisk is
not TO be hampered by such small con-
eiderations as consistency and harmony with
himself. Having determined upon music for
the million, he at once decided that the sacred
concert was the thing with which to catch the
greenbacks of the public. Possibly some OBJ
scure recollection of the Sunday-school fGsco
in which he figured some months ago returned
TO him and pricked him on to this tardy act of
compensation. AT any rate it will be easily
understood by Philadelphians that Mr.. Fisk is
the only man in New York capable OF giving
social concerts with that religious abandon and
pious recklessness of expense with which such
concerts ought to be given. he has not yet
stood up to be prayed for at the Fulton street
uneCJlHSS DuG alJcr bllS ONenL LHdL may
not be an altogether impossible event. If there
is joy among the angels over one sinner that
repenteth, what would the beattudes of the noon
day institution of Fulton street amount to over
the conversion of this great Erie apostate? The
thing that Or. Fisk has stipulated for in the
programme is that not more than one piece out
of every two shall be from OnenbaCh. 1t is the
intention of this great moral reformer this
millionaire moralist of Gotham, to pit conscience
and can-ca off against each other and TO have
oratorio and 0perd-boU6e neutralze each other,
oh, how much good might he not accomplish if
he would only turn his attention to the mid
night meetings, and personally hand around the
tea
The st. Nicholas Hotel Robbery.
AS YOU already are aware, Joseph E. Isaacs,
diamond broker, was robbed at the st. Nicholas
Hotel by two experts who gave their names as
Carlo Dejalis and Joseph Cheval. Isaacs was
invited thither by Deialis, who assured him he
had number of valuable gems of which he
wished to dispose at low price. Isaacs yield
ing to the temptation, visited the room, was set
upon there by Details and his companion,
gagged, chloroformed, and robbed. Thas Isaacs.
The singular part of the story is that the
robbed man had, untouched upon his person,
after the robbery" was over, a diamond and
ruby ring, gold watch and chain, diamond
breastpin, and diamond cluster brooch. Little
doubt is entertained by the more suspicious
detectives but that Isaacs is a confederate of
the two rascals (who hail from Philadelphia,
and that events will prove his completely.
