The StaatsJtuger and Boroen Ze,tung, of Ber-
lin in their accounts of a concert given at the
White, Garden some time since, speak in
terms of the highest praise of Sam NJ. Fa-
bian, young Sacramentan, who appeared as
q soloiss on that occasion. The former paper
says of the young artist: 1.-The interest of
the evening concentrated in the rising young
California pianist, Monroe Fabian, who rea-
dered the Z. mol concert Of V. Weber and the
staccato.etuds of Rubenstein, and on encore
he gave minettO by Liszberg and polo
naise, As dur, by Chopin. Mr.. Fabian has
made such rapid progress as a musician and

artists of Europe The concert which
brought forth these comments was that of
the Philharmonic Orchestra, the leading one
of Berlin, with which tbs great Rubsnstein
