BOSTON STAR CONCERT.


The only concert given in this town
that ever equaled the entertainment of
Wednesday evening last, was that of
Camilla Urso. Which was superior is a
question which most enlightened critic
would hesitate TO decide. Ordinarily, to
praise an entire program amounts to
mere flattery, but it is beyond the scope
of our critical powers to find a single
flaw at which to throw our arrows. We
only know that we were handsomely
entertained, nobly edited, charmingly
Toasted and almost carried away with IFS
excellence. Many unavoidable circum-
stances caused a small audience, but it
was surely Il select and truly apprecia-
tive one. The former fact is our only
regret, and we sincerely thank the Delta
Phi Society for its effort. Chas +. Den
nee, the pianist, proved himself to be an
artistic of the highest capabilities. His
technique was easy, brilliant and expires
sive. For 80 young a man his abilities
are almost a marvel. The Tarantelle of
List was well received, but not more 50
than his rendition Of his own excellent
composition, while his accompaniment
were perfection. Walter Emerson made
his cornet sing out it sweet notes in
"Emersonian" and the "carnivnl de Ven
ice" as only Emerson can. To entertain
such an artistic with such reputation as
that enjoyed by an artistic, Nella F.
Brown was the rarcst of treats, and her
Rotations bore fruits of her reputation
abundantly. The love scene between
Katharine of France, and Harry of Eng
land, as portrayed in the V act, II scene
Of Shakepeares Henry V, was undoubt-
eddy the best piece of dialogue we have
ever listened to. 1t was the very essence
of perfection. Money Musk, her next
effort, was of such character that only
those who heard it can form a conception
Of it. Her half singing recitation with
piano accompaniment is as original as it
is captivating. On continued encore she |
told "Bootblack" story that we chal-
lenge any one to reproduce. The climax
of all her efforts was her "Bivouac of
Battle" In it she was assisted by the |
entire company, piano, cornet, and Me
dora Henson's charming voice combining
to make it the sublimest of conceptions. |
"IIome Sweet Home" never received
greater honor than when Nella +. |
Brown added it to her repertoire
Medora Henson, the well known and |
charming prima donna, came fully up to
the standard of her colleagues with Goun-
DDS Romeo and Juliet" and the "Fior Di |
of Arditi. Her clear, sweet
and cultivated voice made the Oratory
ring with rich and beautiful melody. Mrs
Emerson is especial powerful and re-
markable in her clear and distinct rendi-
ton Of the higher notes. The beautiful
"Serenade" of Schubert rs sung by her
with cornet obligato by her husband, was
the sweetest of musical efforts. In fact we
can truthfully assert that cN erything was
superb, and Almost an ideal, conceivable
only by the highest order ofapprecative
intellect. If Ozias w. Pond, the genial and
manager of this combina-
lion, should ever consent to visit our lit
tie town again, we can assure him that
only the filtes of darkness can keep away
the largest audience that Newark can
afford.

Messrs. Editors.-The undersigned
thinks the following expression due to
the Rev. Mr.. MacEpRey, and to the con-
gregation that heard him last Lords day
evening. He did the congregation the
honor of presenting very carefully pre-
pared analysis of very much confused
subject, and one which he delivered in a
very clear and kind manner. The ,ques-
ton: "What is Christian Baptism ~ has
long been the perplexity of the religious
world. 1t is a comfort to have concisely
presented the many and conflicting no.
tons about it in order to forming intelli-
gent opinion. A HEARER.

and at the appointed hour were present.
We were surprised and glad indeed TO
state that the band plays better this year

10 me ~ ~. STATE
M. Hijior and GeHiemen:
feel it my duty as an Irishman and
true llibenlan, recognizing the Board of
Erin, to call the attention of all lriSlmen
in this State to IA certain class of men
who became seceSSionists about three
years ago and who figure at the head of
IA bogus organization going under an AS
stunned name to inculcate the minds of
Irishmcn favoring the principles and sen
timents of the real and true A. O. II,
The following are the men who became
| Seccdcrs about three years ago: Crowley,
Hines, Dunn and Sheridan, who printed
pamphlets in the city of N. Y, claiming
| the Board of Erin became "A drain ON the
| Order in this country, and founded this
new order after manufacturing false
! merchandise unaware of any of its mem
| bcls. It's absurd to think men would set
| their belief on false ideas until they were
made aware of the true principles of the
| A. o. ii. The first and original lliberni-
ans was founded in Ireland centuries
ago and their first recognized head was
B. of f., and which will remain so as
long as there is IA drop of Irish blood in
an lrislman's veins. This other organi-
zaton was founded by the above named
persons less than three years ago under
base and mscrupulous IDEAS when they
would not be allowed to use either the
society or its money in the field of an
American Campaign, Therefore, say,
lrishnen, beware and study well this
letter befor you get entrapped into the
meShes Of such selfish and designing
usurpers who claim the name which is
entitled only to the original order which
was handed down from generation to
generation and stands undaunted before
the world, the pillar and rock of unity,
friendship and true Christian Charity.
Yours respectfully,

IN CLANKlNG CHAINS.
A POsthnmOms Sketch by Madame
George Sand.
TRANSLATED By LEW VANDERpoOLE.

by Permission of the New York STAR
lcoNrINuEpl
For the first time he cursed himself be-
cause of his poverty.
In sunny Italy, in the glad days of his
boyhood, they had said he had genius.
Perhaps they were right; he believed they
We're, for he was artist enough to Judge
his own work justly and to appreciate It's
merits as well as deplore its faults. But
he had no tact. Other artists. who were
in every other sense inferior to him,
could manage to sell the veriest daubs for
hundred times the price he could get
for finished study which was the work
of weeks of hunger, pain and patient
toll.
So he had always been poor.
Age had come upon him, and he was
in no way prepared for it, Forsakng
Italy, he had wandered into France, do
ing often, for a single coarse meal, pieces
of art more wonderful than those which
had made many another famous through
out the world. 1t was years since he had
been able to purchase colors, and he was
so very poor that it was often impossible
even to get paper and pencils.
Never before had hls poverty made
him bitter
Now if he but had the money his
wasted work should have brought him,
he could save this innocent one from the
snares and pitfalls which were ever at
the feet of such as she.
She was only a peasants daughter
only a thoughtless child, before his pic
hnI IA,
dormant womanhood; but to him she
was the supremest marvel since creations
dawn. He loved her Us a father loves his
daughter when his course of life is nearly
run, and she is all that earth holds for
him.
He glanced at her with deep sigh of
regret at his inability to help her. She
was looking at the sketch. which she
still held in her hands
at is a very beautiful picture" she
murmured again, as if unconscious that
she had said the same words before, and
he repeated his former answer.
"lou are a very beautiful woman"
That moment there was a crash in the
vines, and the soldier stepped forward.
"1ou have told the truth, old man. d"
he said, 'she is certainly beautiful
enough. but have no doubt she prefers
hearing it from youngerlip than yours. -
'What do you want" demanded An
tonic.
''What is that to YOU:
Nothing, perhaps; and, perhaps, ey-
erything. you a:e IN honest man ami
worthy of your uniform, you will go
away at once and leave this maid with
me"
"No honest man would leave SO lovely
woman alone in the woods with such a
ragged vagabond rs YOU"
The old man frowned and drew him
self up proudly.
Let me tell you, sir, soldier, it takes
more than rags to make the vagabond,
Just as it takes more than bright buttons
and war colors to make the man
The soldier laughed.
