THE WASHINGTON sCH1LLERBUND.
A Musical and Literary soirse.


The Congregational church was filled last
night, with a select audience, at the musical and
literary entertainment given by the Washington
Schillerbund. The concert opened with an orig
nal organ solo by Mr.. Walter, given by request,
and the applause which greeted 1t demonstrated
both the skill OF the organist and the cultivated
music The Sangerbund followed in one of
their best choruses, with organ accompaniment.
Their singing is too familiar to Washington
audiences TO need comment. Rev. DIR. Rankin's
"Auld Scotch Mither," which is full of pathOs
and true home delineations, was reclted as only
an author can repeat his own conceptions. The
triOs by Messrs. Paris, Potter, E0erback and
Miss Foster, on violin, flute, ViolincellO and pr
ano, were artistic achievements rarely heard at
amateur concerts.
The duet, by Messrs. RnooP and Holer, was but
repetition Of the merit Of those talented artists.
Messrs. Young and Miller rendered their bass
solos 10 the unquestionable appreciation and sat
isfactiOn Of the audience. 1t is seldom that q
voice full and rich and possessing such cultiva-
tion as that of MIR. Miller's is heard. The sing
ing was, without an exception, Of the very highest
order. The recitations were not @ whit inferior
to the musical performances. When all were 50
faultless It is difficult t. describe them sepa-
rately; what is said Of one can almost be said OF
all. Misses Durant and Storey but confirmed
their established regulations for talent, and
Messrs. Patch and Hay spoke for themselves.
Won Boyle did "just as he always does, !" and the
dc-that his last comicaIlty was q little more
cOmical than any other.
The whole entertainment only proves what has
been SO often affirmed, that such amateur per.
toTm8Dces are more apPreeiAtive than prOfes-
sioDal entertainments.
