tv-seventh and tbirty-third, command
ed respectively by Colonies }. w. AL
len, James f. Preston, WIN. Harper,
Lieutenant Colonel Jno. b. Echols and

take advantage. Scarcely day
passes but she mounts upon the keys
and renders selections, which, while
not classic, are at least original. She
executes several different tunes and
occasionally will touch the black keys
