ADJUSTMENTS.
The Patti. Mario Concerts.

There are glorious days and nights
coming for those who have cultivated
tastes. We only wish that NJ. StTakOsch
and Patti would linger with us just lit
tie longer. Not Strakosch and Patti
alone, however, for we mean when we
speak of these the alIuring Cary, Mario,
Carreno, Sauret and SchOlara, thequick-
ening and vivifying rays that play about
the greater Orbs. We can solace our
selves, however, after their departure,
by nursing the sweet effects of the music
glory which will overwhelm us. Mario
probably sings for us the last time in his
life. 1t is his last tour, it is said, and we
think he viii cover himself with glory.
Just painful falter here and there indi-
Gates the waning of his great power, but
his sweet and mellow tones wreathe
his brow with myrtle, and the audiences
hang upon his voice with breathless in
terest and pleasure. Patti is imperial as
she ever was. She is the eXquisitely
finished, sophisticated warbler of the
concert stage, and does she not dress
beautifully? Who can resist her ringing,
bell-like notes which seem to spring up
ward from rose wreaths, half hid in
snowy drifts of underskirt and lace, like
birds from feasting on oriental pGTteTreS.
Cary is beautiful in hersweet simplicity.
She has never been spoiled by praises, not
she! She sings gloriOusly, because it
is natural for her to do so, and stands
before her audience and utters harmony
like young girl talking to the trees
and flowers. Carreno goes at her piano
like a schoolgirl in a passion, with a
pettish, vehement, sirrocO-like move
ment, which both startles and pleases by
its very novelty. She loves the instru-
ment, but she turns many a youngsters
head when she moves off the stage, and
looks over her shoulder coyly at the au-
dience. She plays distinctly, accurate
", and attractively, and is both charm
ing and beautiful. Sauret is young and
enthusiastic, and at times wields his
bow with passionate fervor, and sur
passes even Ole Bull in some respects.
Scholara is efficient in the way of vocal
tricks, and undoubtedly owns a good
voice in its peculiar method, but after
Mario we would wish to hear no man
sing. Scholara's laughter is perfect and
contagious; it is wonderful and incom-
parable. Bright, brilliant, and beauti-
ful will be the memories to link them
selves with the Patti Cary con-
certs, at the New Memphis Theater.
Sacred Concert.
The sacred concert which is in course
of preparation for next Tuesday, Decem-
Der 10th, at the Memphis Club Hall,
promises to be the great event, so far,
this winter, in the musical affairs of
Memphis. It is designed for the benefit
of the German Protestant Church on
Third street, between Court and Jeffer-
son streets. The first and best amateur
talent in the city are preparing for the
great event now. The programme is
already made out, and from perusal of
it, we have good ground to express the
conviction that the concert will be rich
musical treat. The music people will be
there in great force to lend their assist
ance, and the elite of Memphis will be
there to render the evening thoroughly
enjoyable. It is already time to be get
ting tickets for the great night. The
programme will bepublished tomorrow
morning.
Barney Hughes,
the inimitable local humorist and phi
losopher will pronounce an admirable
lecture tomorrow night at the New
Memphis Theater.
DeBRr's Grand OperahOuse.
The occupants of the stage in this
well-managed establishment, for the
past week, have not lessened the de-
light we feel, in common with all taste
ful people, in learning that Charlotte
through the current week,
occupies the boards at DeBar's Grand
