lRwIN's HALL. Last night. Ole Bull,
the great violinist, appeared for the first
time before the Columbia public in
many years.. The audience was a large
and brilliant one, and gave most en-
:husiessic reception to- all the efforts of
the celebrated Norwegian: AS an emil
nent musical critic has we'll said, to pro-
perly describe, in words, the playing: of
Ole Bull is an inpossibi'itJ. To fully
express tho emotions aad feelinge awak-
.e:es hyy that magic how: as it hovers
oyer the strings. drawing therefrom
sounds too sweet for heaven; is alike d
duty for which we feel our pom too weak
and feeble. to attempt. Miss Graziella
hldgway sung with considerable power
and spirit. She is young, lovely and
possessed OF "a stago prssence' which
many older, more experienced, i artists
might envy. signor Ferrenti is the
prince of bufo singers, and Mr., Pattison
magnificent pianist. -,
We were charmed beyond expression
with ole Bo,ra Lilly Dale" and the
touching, universally beloved ballad of
Home, Sweet Home:" We wish mauy
more years to this old fovorite, who.
with the frosts of time on his head, has
the freshness and tenderness of youth in
bis heart. He will give concert in
some city in one of the Gulf States for
the benefit of our Confederate monu-
ment fund, and will add no small sum to
1t, If the appreciation of lis performance
but equal it's excellence.
