Paris Cor. New York Evening POST
One of the m5st inspiring sights in
the world of a musician OF lover of.
music is the spectacle of N. Gounod
leading a large body of performers.
Twice recently has this sight been Wis
ible here. On the festival of the An
nunciatiOn, last month, GOunod's
"Messe Solennelle was produced at
Notre Dame, under the direction of
the composer, and with the aid Of a
large chorus and orchestra; and the
same work wal performed again, and
under more favorable auspices. at a
"Gounod Festival " which took place
at the T~rocadero Polace on the 10Th
inst. On this occasion the number
of performers was four hundred, and
both chorus and orchestra were
most admirable in execution and ex-
preston. NJ. Guilmant, the renowned
organist, of Sainte Trinite, presided
at the organ, and supplemented the
orchestral and vocal forces with won
derful effectiveness and the solo parts
were brilliantly executed by Nile
Bloch, Nine Brunet-Lafeu and
Messrs. Furst and Tuskin. But the
central figure and most interesting
feature of the performance was NJ.
Goupod himself, who. overhowing with
nervous energy ana beaming with
good nature, assumed personal charge
Of the whole concern, audience and
all, as it were, and conducted the
affair to a successful conclusion amid
the almost frantic applause Of the i'm
mense assembly. NJ. Gounod is GER
tainly a very remarkable man. His
personality is truly fascinating. Of
about medium height, with a chubby
genial face, shining bald head. full
beard, justturned gray, and a corporeal
girth just large enough TO suggest the
idea Of utter internal comfort without
also suggesting the idea Of undue
heshiness, his personal appearance
implies that he is thoroughly amiable.
and his manner confirms this impress.
sion. He is constantly bobbing about
among performers, chatting cozily with
this one aud that one, shaking hands
right and left with great earhestness.
and bestowing mods and pats Of ap-
probation upon deserving ones: and
he appears as sincerely and perfectly
pleased as a child when he is applaud.
cd. Quick in temper, too is NJ. Gou-
nod, and his wrath is openly showed
forth against late corners and whisper
ers in the orchestra OF the audience :
but the manner in which his choler
manifests itself is so comical that
it only adds to the general at.
tractiveness aud popularity Of the
man. With all his excentricities and
idgetings NJ. GOunod never loses his
dignity and there is something in the
glance Of those soft gray, genius laden
eyes that awakens awe as we'll as ad.

lecture on Goethe from his we'll

publish them. The Goethe has un-
doubtedly been lent to some friend

" -AA - ~~t
Mr.. EDITOR / notice circular
purporting to be from the Memphis
Appeal, the purport of which is
calculated to injure East Tennessee,
and is surely a Misrepresentation.
In substance it said: Every
place is crowded with Memphians,
fairing badly; no eggs, no vegeta-
bles, milk and butter scarce. They
will soon eat out East Tennessee,
and be glad to return. I know not
how anxious the refugees are to re-
turn, Of course, it is natural for
people to incline homeward, but SO
far as the supplies are concerned
they are competent to feed any
number that may come, and as to
the fare every one who has travelled
through East Tennessee knows that
it is hard to beat. Let the people
come to this healthfal country and
we will feed them bountifully and
have plenty left.
