He went to Europe in 1866, with the design of fitting himself for the work of giving instruction in Modern Languages; and afterwards went again for the same purpose. After his return from Europe he was appointed Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Knoxville, Tennessee. He entered upon his duties as Tutor in German in this College last October; and those who knew him well believed that the College had been wise in choosing and fortunate in securing him; and he himself began...

It may be well to state that the bunch of grapes following this piece was put there by the printer for ornament, with no reference to what preceded. "The Water Lily" and "Spring's Return" were sung fairly. The crescendo and diminuendo passages were well given, but in piano the 2d bass was too loud several times. The "Chorus of Pilgrims," from Tannhauser, was given with grand effect. Considering the difficulties which lie in the middle of this piece, consisting of accidentals, naturals, and other...
