place the poss.ssor upon a high peoes'al III
the temple of fame. Oh MIS-. Moulton the
New York World says:
Mrs. Moultons method is quite as admirable
as her voice. For eXactness OF execution We
must accord her unusual praise. For chaste
brilliancy and voluble eass In the use OF al
:he ornaments OF her art she must take rank
with the most gifted cdntdtrice OF our time.
Her shake is as clear and rapid as blrds
trill. and she commands every graaal!on Oh
force with easy mastery, while her planlsslmo
notes are shaded 10 The most dellcate tlhI Oh
sound without losing their briliiancy. 10 all
the praces of expression Mrs. Moulton IS an
adept. Just intouation. great taste, natural
grace of delivery, a wonderful volub'lity ana
pl;ancy of voice. and an eXuoerance OF
emotion, give 10 her singing charm whleh
more than com Densates the absence 0! dec!a-
matory power or vocal strength.
This is hearty praise. and The successful tour
which Mrs. Mouton has made through the
Northwest and South proves 1t to be well de-
served. There is no doubt that Mrs.
Moulton is an extraordinary singer, and no
lover of music should miss the present oppor-
tuuily Of hearing her in all the ripeness OF her
talent.
Sicnor P. Ferranti is we'll known in Europe
as fine artist He is said TO have splendid
baritone voice, and was o great favorite with
both Rossini and Lablache. Mr.. Wehli is an
emi:.vnt pianist, and Mr.. Brookhouse Bowler,
as Charleston knows, is sweet singer OF
ballad music.
The concert promises to be an admirable
one in every respect, anC it is not surprising
that the music.!oving public should be on the
tip-,oe of expectation.

by frequent applause, and The troupe termi-
mated their engagement here in highly sue
cessful and l,ttenng manner.
The Circus.
The large pavilion on the Citadel Green was
again crowded last evening. Among the au.
dience were large number of ladies and
children, and Dan ard his company gave

reputation and merited the enthusiastic ap-
plause it obtained. The programme Is changed
