A very amusing dialogue" Monsieur and his
English Master"-was spoken with sucn spirit
and naturalness by Misses Gilmore ana brown
as to elicit loud and repeated laughter from
the audience. A little beauty of some four
|summers-Miss Marcella Farrelly-recited my
Mother" with q simplicity and grace that was
quite charming. "The Little Philosopher" OF
Misses NJ. Capella and Carraher was worthy

cry. The recitation by Miss Rose EMolony OF
that ever-wsloome People will Talk was
received with unmistakable pleasure. The
Misses Blanchard and Capella were undoubt-
eddy superior to all others in their piano per-
formances The latter has brilliancy and IA
cility of touch tho former, soul and energy.
The music of Miss CapelIa pleases the mind
] by it's fantastic warblipgs; that of Miss Blan-
$chard affects the heart in it's every mood, being
$now simple, then plainttve, sometimes grand

of sentiment But if We prefer the music OF
hiss Blanchard to that of Miss Capella, we
e annot say the same of her elocution; for Miss
,sCapella proved herself beyond all doubt TO be
the best elocutionist in the whole institution
Her rendition of "I.es Adeux de JeannedArc"

ent piece, as We had previously heard it de-
elaimed several times, and we have no hesita-
ton in declaring each several previous effort
was greatly inferior to her recitation. Her
rathos was most touching; her bursts OF paeri-
tottc feeling, most subftme and her battle cries
most exciting. Her countenance was lit up
with o love of Fatherland, and her gestures
spoke no Less than her voice. To take it all
- n all, one may say she SHIELD the mirror up to
nature" and succeeded in "suiting the action
