SchiIler's Song OF the Bell.
ART DEPARTMENT


Our citizens have been fully informed with
regard to the musical department of the COM
ing musical and art entertainment.
1t is fitting that they should now learn some
thing of the Tableaux, &c. These are to follow
the musical rendering and serve to illustrate
the poem.
On the rising of the curtain, a foundry scene
will be presented. the male chorus singers being
foundry-men in leathern aprons, &C.. engaged
in moulding the Bell and other work. Their
sisters cousins and aunts," will appear as pea
SAINT girls in their various and brilliant cos
tunes, and with the workmen Will sing tne
ANVIL Chorus" from Trovatore.
During the subsequent parts, the workmen
and their relatives retain their characters and
costumes as above and render all the chorus
parts.
The poem divides itself naturally into the
practical and ideal. The former being panto-
mime by the workmen, &C., the latter being
illustrated generally by fixed tableau, as fol-
lows
Frst-The Christening Scene
A procession in the costume of the
middle ages proceeds slowly across the stage
and enters the door of the church. This will
exhibit O very striking scene with many at
fractions.
Second-Ihe Wedding Scene.
In this there will be many very brill
liant contrasts of light and shadow. As usual
on such occasions, the beauty of the bride and
manly bearing of the groom will be comment
ed on in deservedly complimentary terms.
IHird-Ihe Home Scene.
This will present a cottage in which a
young mother sits at a spinning wheel, show
ing her daughter the mysteries of the art.
Meanwhile the children are seen playing
around ct their games in various attitudes.
The Fire Scene
will be the crisis of the tableaux. and the an
tomime during the Fire Chorus will be
very effective. The chorus itselfis the climax
of the musical part. This concludes Part first.
In the second part, there will be a Harvest
Scene of great beauty, in which the peasant
girls and men are seen in the wheat field in
various graceful attitudes. A little patrician
youth and Gipsy girl will add interest to this
scene
A Funeral scene shows the end of all life, and
4 Var Scene gives illustration to the result OF
| the unbridled passions of men.
A maiden is represented as protecting her
soldier lover from the fierce attack of citizen
mob.
He is finally rescued by asquadron ofsoldiers
in medieval dress.
The closing tableau will be the
Raising of the Bell
when all the fair performers will start the bell
upon its upward movement.
Altogether, our citizens may look for set Of
| tableaux far exceeding what these brief notes
| would indicate. Were the names of those who
| have this matter in charge mentioned, it would
be full assurance of success.

The reader having greeted his old friends
"Reata," John West, and the "Staf Officer"
and devoted a few minutes to the contempla-

the standard of morality set up by the Radi-

Coneer. at Pleasant view Church.

The concert given at Pleasant View church,
on last Friday and Saturday nights, was quite
a success. Considering the disadvantages with
which the participants had to CONTEND we can
not speak in too high terms of their entertain
ment Thei concert was under the manage
ment of Prof. ]. w. Splitter, whom, if we Judge
him by his voice and success in this entertain
ment, we must pronounce a first-rate musician.
Miss Belle Clark, of Mt Scion, Kindly rendered
valuable assistance. Mr.. James Clark, also of
Mt Scion, presided at the organ. with the ease
and dignity Of master musician. Mr.. Frank
Bear of Staunton. assisted on Friday night,
and those who heard mis- excellent tenor voice,
regretted very much his inability to be present
on Saturday night. For want of time and
space. we must be excused for emitting quite a
number of deserving pieces. Of o number of
choruses, "Strike the Cymbals "See the Noun
tain Slopes Surrounding IF were voice."
"It is Good Thing to give Thanks" Correcting
Glee," and Passing Away" were especially
well rendered. "Rain-drop Chorus" by Misses
Van Lear and Kibler, and Messrs. Hahn and
Sheets, were very entertaining. Master Rich
ard Splitter, a child of five summers, sang the
soprano of o piece with wonderful correctness,
and q distinctness of the imitation of older
singers. Miss Clark sang several, which were
received with all the applause which the sa-
credness of the surroundings permitted the
audience to bestow. The solo, "Pass under the
Rod" was sung by Miss Laura Hamrick, with
an effect which could not help calling forth
sympathy for the writer.
The stage was very neatly arranged, and any
deficiency which might have existei in its ar,
rangement. was well concealed behind the at
fractions Of the fair ones who occupied it.
