noon, Miss Winifred Hunter. the talented

There are many significant smiles exchanged
over the mention Of Joseffy's non-appearance
here last week. The cause of his indisposition
has leaked out, and the disappointment in not
hearing him is blended with sympathy for the
great misfortune of this talented artist.
It is the intention of Mr.. w. Fl. Clarke. during
the summer months. to give organ recitals in
the larger towns of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky
and Ohio. He will be assisted by Mr.. w. L.
Barnes, the we'll known baritone. The combined
talent Of these well-known musicians will furnish
material for a superb programme.
One of the many instances of the ecentricity
of genius was displayed by Joseffy during his
visit to this city, a few weeks ago. When his re-
cital took place at Baldwin's music parlors some
adE1irer of his talent sent him a choice bouquet
of the rarest exotics. After the programme was
finished Joseffy tore the flowers angrily apart,
and, throwing them on to the floor, crushed
them under his heel, exclaiming passionately:
Why did they send me these2 am no woman
to be c~omplimented by such things"

MRS. C~ULBERTsoNs EXHIBIT.
Mrs. Mary Culbertson's art reception has at
tracted a throng of people who are enthusiastic.
over her work and that displayed by hsr pupils.
The entire collection is so good it is hard to Sc
lect any one painting from the whole. Among
Mrs. Culbertson's pieces the Scene on the Mer-
rimac" has probably been most admired.
Mrs. Jno. G. New has four pictures exhibited,
one, a Scene near Newburyport. Mass, "
has been particularly admired. Mrs. Mat
tie Tuttle's City of Venice" is especially
worthy of mention. Mrs. j. III. Taylor's
large marine scene, "Of the Coast of
Denmark" has attracted universal notice.
Hut for Poor Whites by Mrs. J. P. Smith,
contains a homely pathos, which speaks to the
heart of the trials OF pioneer life. Miss Lima
McKee's English Scene" has been particularly
admired. Mrs. j. H. Taylor presented some
interesting snow scenes on spades. During the
exhibit Mrs. Culbertson has secured thirteen
new pupils, which is conclusive proof of the
effect of her work upon the public. A promi-
nent banker of the State is DESTROYS of purchas-
ing her ''Scene on the Merrimac." Yesterday she
was the recipient of a box OF Marechal Neil roses
from Mrs. Fannie Hendricks and six young lady
admirers.
