THE BRoADpUs CoNcERr.-T The complimentary
concert given last evening ut Grunewald Hall TO
Mrs. T. i. Broaddus, by numher of ladies' and
gentlemen belonging to our most select society,
was d. served acknowledgment OF meri torious
dilletante and cha1 ning lady. The attractions
we're commensurate with the testimonial in every
respect, and provided for the large and bril-
liant attendance two bours of delightful entertain
ment. The programme which had been gotten
up with commendable care, comprised perform
ances on the piano, the violin and the violoucello
and singing by amateurs OF the best order, among
whom figured Messrs. Eckert, Kaiser, Muller
and Meteye, and Misses Little. Lena E., Alice A.
and Corinne Boulgpy, Mrs. N and Mrs. Broad
dus herself.
We could scarcely be expected TO do Justice to
al the ladies and gentlemen who 30 ably assisted
hrs. Broaddus in making the concer9 brilliant
one. but ws could not, at tho same time, without
being Obvious Of our duty, fail to compliment
the talented beneficiary upon tho correct manner
in which she snDg Shnberps Serenade, with cello
accompaniment by Dir. Muller, and the difficult
grand air Of "Arioaant," which WAS sung
by this lady with impressive effect. II
was certainly OF her best efforts, and brought
into play the full power and ne1lbility OF her
plsud the charming uocatises of Miss Alice A. in
Tho s'Air duaRossignoP OF Masse with flute
obligato by MIR. Nj The timidi.y of this young
lady only added TO the hghtness Of her trillng
voice, as supe aud s"eetl, 'modulated as that OF
the nightingale, whose song she sang.
We venture into go exaggeration when
we say that the exquisite purity
of Miss AS voice compensatess.fully FOR that
force and power VIII CHI is iDudlciously exacted
Among the charming participants in this regal
fete we have mentioned the name OF Mics Co.
rhine Bouligny. 1t is but day or two ago that
We had the peasant task to refer to her talent at
length. Last evening cur distinguished Creole
had selected tho roInanZs of paul and Viz
gina" to delight and charm her audience.
| aud being TT called sang LA Valse des
Fleurs," mers di.ty relating the loves
OF faliug leaves, which was sung with bril-
liancy Of expression and delicacy Of touch that
mama of Paul and Virginia is beyond question
the triumph OF this young lady and affords the
critic opportunity to judge of all the qualities
OF her vote and ability as q musician; IN fact,
Ia o. perfect test OF her vocal facnlties.
In singing "Nous msrchoins tous les deux, "
Miss Bouiizny seems inspired by something
| Notwithstanding which is felt and may
| not be expressed. 1t leads the listener to sus-
pec5 that the young artistic is inlbued with sea-
timens Of self hness which prompts her to wrap
herself entirely within herself and siog into her
soul, forgetful and csrelesg, indeed, whether
there is anybody listening to her love song. Is
that noe how the birds sing?
But we are probably dwelling too long on this
subiec; ana must return to thu beneficiary who
| has good reasons to be proud OF the plaudlts OF
her auditors and IT the floral offerings which
were 30 pr flsely lavished upon hsr, snd on the
ladies who 80 clevery assisted IL making the re-
union topic OF pleasing conversation for me
time to come.
