The Observation-Disclosures Mozart
,aUsicqic. given at the Academy last
nieht. was largely attended by brilliant
and fashionable audience. Two OF the
members OF the New York Concert Com
pany. engaged for the occasion, were
sick and unable 10 fill their engagement,
and at the last moment the Music Com
mittee were compelled to engage other
talent TO till their places. These vacan-
cies were well filled by Miss Marie Car
ter. a good pianist, and MIR. iardella'
Richmond's clarinet-player.
Mrs. Nr. S. J.. Leo, the accomplished
contrato Of New York, sung two num-
bers upon the Programme" Ah Quel
Giorro. from "Semirnmide,' and "Ihe
New Kingdom. by Tours. Her voice Is
exceedingly rich, sympathetic, and pow
criul and she handled 1t with much skill
and effect she was encOrcd, and grace
fully responded. Mrs Leo has many
friends here. who remember her beaut-
iul singing at the White sulphur Springs
mst summer. After singing her first
piece she WAS presented with a beautiful
floral tribute.
Miss Jessamine Hallenbeck, Of New
York, the soprano. sung her three mum
bers with great satisfaction to the audi
ence. and received several recalls, singing
q charming and bright encore. Miss
Hallenbeck has been heard here before,
but will always be welcome. Her man
ners are delightful and her stage pres
cnce striking.
The piano solo of Miss Marie Carter
was well rendered. She has evidently
been thoroughly instructed, and plays
not only with great accuracy, but with
considerable expression. She conferred
great favor upon the association by
coming 10 their assistance last evening
and taking the place Of one OF the absent
artists.
Professor IarjeilA played his two clari-
net solos with the sail. and dash OF that
iayoute musician, and the Amateur Or
chesta did well their part of the work.
Professor Jacob Keinhardt acted rs
accompanist for the first time since his
reelection to that position, and it Is
needless to say did bis part in faultless
manner His appearance upon the stage
was greeted With applause.

ions OF Several sena-
tofa

from his frequent visits here on business
before the Supreme Court. lie was not
an applicant and has not been in Wash
ingion since the death of Chief-Justice
Waite
Representative Springer said the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Fuller as Chief Justice
was the very best one that the President
could have made. Mr.. Fuller IS pre-
eminent in his profession, is of unim-
peachable integrity, and his private
character is exemplary in every respect.
He is about fifty-four years Of age, is in
good health, and gives promise Of long
and brilliant career on the bench. He is
exceedingly courteous in bis manner, but
firm and unvielding in his convictions
on right he is not q partisan, but Is a
Democrat in the enlarged and better
sense-a Democrat from principle. lis

TO the people Of Illinois and the North
east without regard to party, and to the
entire country as eoon as bis character
and great abilities are known.
Senator Cullom says ~ have known
MIR. Fuller for twenty-five years or more.
he is a scholar aud possessed OF more
than ordinary literary attainments. J
regard him as On excellent lawyer and
am sure he will make an excellent Chief
Justice. lie is about tifty-two years Of
age"
Senator Farwell is not in the city. 1t

well have assured the President that
they will vote for the confirmation of
MIR Fuller.

nos-a warm friend and who urged the
appointment Of Melville v. Fuller rs
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court,
saws that Mr. Fuller is one OF the abiest
lawyers and most accomplished gentle
men in the United States. Hiamanners
are very agreeable He ia popular with
all who know him. His private and
public life arc free from any stain what
ever. lie is ahout ffty-four years old.
and has been a lifelong Democrat. He
was a member Of the Illinois Legisa-
ture twenty-five years ago, and was a
member Of the Constitutional Conven-
ton Of 1870. He distinguished himself
in both those positions Mr. TOwnshend
thinks that the President has made as
good a selection for Chief Justice as the
country affords, and that Mr.. Fuller will
not disappoint the expectations of any
Of his friends in the high position he
has been placed. He feels very con
fident that Mr.. Fuller's appointment
Will he confirmed.
Judge Cooley, chairman Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, said the
appointment was a most excellent one

latiOns.
