The CLIMAX will have a weekly re-

from musical journals of the past week
"CeciIian Chamiuade, who is we'll
known by her fine songs and graceful
piano pieces, will make tour of this
country in early spring. She is sister
in-law of Moszkowsky, Madame Mosz-
kowsky, being her sister,. Patti, it
is said, contemplate positively last"
tour in the country next season. What
ever may be the state of her voice. she
is certainly the best known and best
advertised singer of the aye. Her
recent marriage has brought her before
the public and there will no doubt be a
lively curiosity to see and hear this
operate Cleopatra whose infinite variety
age does not seem to wither or custom
state .....' Music, in the opinion of
many, ranks second only to faith and
religion; and apart from its power, its
effect and its many advantages, we
may justly regard it as belonging TO
heaven rather than to earth, awakening
and stimulating, as it does, in our
hearts desire to praise the Almighty
with psalms and thanksgivings." o.
