This song was sung by the "University Double Quartet" at the Harvard-Oxford debate Monday night, and Mr. King, under a misapprehension that this group is a part of the Glee Club, has written us.

Consuelo Escobar, who (with the San Carlo Company) has demonstrated a small, but pretty and very flexible soprano voice, is a native of Mexico, where she has sung with success.
