the general arrangement Of the programme,
Although the primary object OF the concert ia to
exhibit the new organ, the nanagera have not
made that mistake so often made in organ con-
certs, OF giving the principal work to shs organ
ists. Per contrd, nearly two-thirds OF the pro-
gramms is vocal every number being IN attrac-
ton. It adds to the attractivenass that it will
probably be the only chance for 4 long time 70
hear Hiss Cary, as she speedily leaves for
Europe to fulfill her Russian contract and ~
che appears in some OF her choicest numbers,
her admirers will undoubtedly turn out in full
force. The programme will be as follows:

SMITHS AssYRIAN DISCOVERIES. Biblical

the publication of the translation Of some In:
scriptions deciphered by MIR. George Smith, Of
the British Museum, from Assyriau tablets in
tina, institution. The tablets in question were
found to bear Inscriptions giving the Cha!dean
account of the Noachean deluge. Such sngu-
lar aud unexpected confirmation of this part OF
the Biblical narrative at once attracted wide at
tention, and with the permission OF the authorl-
ties in charge of the British Museum, MIR. Geo.
Smith was at once commissioned by the Lou
don Daily Telegraph to 90 to the East to mako
further researches, 10 the hope that the re-
markable record might be completed: Mr..
Smith, during 1878 aud 1874, accordingly made
two journeys to Assyria and his explorations
on the site Of Nineveh we're rewarded with
notable success Missing parts OF the tab
let's bearing the record OF the deluge were
found, so that the account was reproduced as
the Chaldeans had it, almost intact, and, be-
sides this, numerous other extremely interest
ing inscriptions we're brought to light, and tor
the first time translated 10 bis remarkable vol
ume entitled "Assyran Discoveries, just pub

cuts exhibit the character of some OF the relics
which Mr.. Smith unearthed, and maps show
the route he travelled and the places he visit
cd, and the most important tablets are repro
duced by the infallible aid of photography. 10
scholars the volume is invaluable; to the stu.
dent it is of deep interest, and the general read.
