Of being asleep and lying down on his beat, and

Prof Cooke has had great ''run" In Memphis.
There, In one Of the strongholds Of spirtualistg,
he has duplicated and exposed every one OF their

The COIlignon Concert,

The attendance at the Church Of the Immacu-
late Conception last evening, on the occasion Of
the sacred concert given by Prof. Collignon, was
not so large as we might have wished for the
deserving leader Of the choir Of that church. still
the number Q, people present was sufficient to
make the affair brilliant one. The selections
we're Of the highest order and the execution in
many cases excellent.
The programme is too lengthy to be treated
of in detail Yet we can indulge in the pleas
ure Of speaking in eulogistic terms Of the sing
ing of Mrs. Henriette Comes, Mr.. J. Meteye and
Mr.. Adrisn Cassard, and mention particularly the
Ave verum from stradells, and the Alma Virgo
of Hummel, sung by Mrs. Comes, accompanied
by talented violinist, MIR. Rech; 'Je Crois en-
Dieu," by Mr.. Meteye, an "Air de Basse," OF
Rossini, by MIR. Cassard. The other ladies and
gentlemen who participated in the concert were
Miss A. Pokorny Mrs. Dunn, Miss Marie Collig-
non, Mr.. Solomon, and Mr.. Norma.
There were, BESIDES number Of ladies and
gentlemen who sang in the choruses, and who
executed admirably Kyrie Eleson Of the COM
position Of the beneficiary.
Mr.. Kitzinger, the accomplished organist Of st.
Aphonsus, assisted Mr.. Collignon as accompan-
ist. We should not forget to say that we were
very favorably impressed with the execution by
Prof. Collignon OF Meyerbeers /" Marche aux
and an introduction for the organ,
by the professor himself.
