Thursday evening, 2Sth ult. The
hall was comfortably filed with an
audience that showed its apprecia>
ton of the efforts of DR.. Sophar and
the progress of his pupils, by rounds
of applause. DIR. Sophar's school is
composed entirely of children IRON
8 to Is years old, and their deport

much credit upon their instructor.
1t has seldom been our pleasure to
witness an exhibition wherein chill
dren of such tender years'displayed
such evolutionary powers. and in

is rarely that children have so well

cite with so little embarrassment
before a public audience. This is
readily explained. however, by a re-

is regular hammer" While all the
children did admirably. Master

general style and character, lust what it
was in the days ofVenice's g.ory, but the
gondolier Of to-day is doubtless a less
pic uresque person. for he is of the ordi-

row with peculiar motion, standing up
in the ends of tie boat; these use but one
oar, which is quite long, The gondola
is always painted a dead black, without

ton of wood-carying and upholstering,
with a neat and cosy cab covering the
center, which is generally taken off in
fine weather. The gondOla. is the only
means Of conveyance between different
parts of the city, though all points may
be reached on foot by means of the mar
row little streets and bridges. 1t would
