...London Philharmonic Society produced the ninth of Liszt's symphonic poems, entitled "Hungaria," for the first time in England on the 23d ult. The music describes a band of horsemen advancing across the "Pushta," or Hungarian prairie. They encounter the enemy and after a free fight a funeral march to the slain is introduced, followed by a joyous cry of victory in which a Hungarian national melody, already used by Herr Brahms, is employed...

The American system produces Hellenists like the Yale professors of Greek, who, going down to the Peiraens one day to make a bargain with a native waterman for a sail-boat to take him across the harbor, astonished the man by asking him for a 'transport-boat,' - something that would carry half a dozen regiments of horse.

Burleigh; an "Ideal Head," by Fowler, and a weird, strangely effective, but well executed study called "Astarte," by F. W. Freer, and many others of equal merit. Passing across the common, one comes to Doll & Richards'. Here, on entering, one sees a beautiful exhibition of Chelsea faience. Going up stairs one finds a fair collection of paintings, a pleasant relief from the black and white exhibit just left. Among the most noticeable, are a saloon picture, by Chester Loomis...
