"Music is a higher revelation than
aclonco nnd philosophy. " So wrotu
the master Bedthovon , nnd no one
realized that fact moro truly than
himself , nnd wo believe that those
present nt the informal reception
tendered Mins Ida L. Barlow , formerly
of Ohlcaao at the residence of Mr.
Levitt Burnharn on north Twenty-
second street , on Thursday evening ,
by the Presbyterian1 and Congrega
tional choirs , several members of the
Oniahn Glee club nnd u few friends
will endorse our quotation and jagrco
that the programme presouiod on that
occasion lorcibly exemplified the truth
therein stated. Delightful and ex-
quiflito vocal nnd inBtranumt.il selec
tions vrero rendered by Mrs. Henry
Futabronk , Mrs. Wilbur , Mrs. Shor-
rill nnd Mrs. Day , the Alisaoa Birlo w ,
Maul and Wilson , nnd Messrs. J. L.
Smith , \V. B.N ilkina , Cralle , Jack
son and Snow.
It was a unique nnd withal so excel
lent a parlor concert ns has not been
hoard here for Rome time. Of the
participants It is unnecessary to say
anything ; they nro vocalists and voff f '
formers of established roputatioujn
this vicinity , with the exception 'of
Miss Barlow , the guest of the even
ing , who succeeds Miss Minnie Maul
iti the Presbyterian choir. Miss Bur-
low , a pupil of Madame Kempton'r ,
is well known to a few of our citizens
by whom nbo has boon frequently
heard in Chicago , where she onjoya
an enviable reputation as n finished
mid popular songstress. Her singing
on Thursday evening convinced all
present tbut this reputation la well
merited. Wo can conscientiously en
dorse nil the good things that have
been said of her. With commnnding
TJres < inoe she possesses a , sweet voice of
good quality nnd compass , sinus with
excelloDt taste , evincing thorough cul
tivation. %
In bright crispuoaa , delic.ito blond
in voice , m emphasis nnd cltnrneis
the selections which aha sang ox
quiftitcly were models.
As an inatruutor in vocal music , she
cornea to us with the best of rc-coni-
mendution , and as an ncquisition to
Omaha society and its musical word ,
ft- " . - - - . corrft WA.ont'jp
f eeling assured , that sue will meet with
tucoees in onrcity. . Mrs. Levitt
Burnham though taken by storm by
tha .asaemby was equal to the emer
gency , and during the evening ushered
the participants into the dining room
wheru a repast consisting of delicacies
that would tempt an epicure wore
spread , and to which nil did justice in
rtifreftlilng the inner man.
Among the number present were
Judge BftVUftP , Mrs. Butler , Mr. and
MM. Lsvitt Burnham , Mrs. Bartou ,
Mr. Day , Will Morris , Mrs. Wilkinr ,
Kev. A.F. Sherriil , Mr. Woodbngc
und others. In conclusion wo thaut
Mr. Frank Smith , maotor of ceremonies

their truly delightful music , and Mr
nnd Mrs. Luvitt Burnham ( or thel

Kisalnpr on the Stage.
Stage kisses have from time out
mind given rise to rancb diecuusio
tad now and then to more sorio
. consequences. Still , they have ua

evil or advautago of theatrical lfp | ,

all st&ee kleses , is the most natui
fascinating , attractive , and pleasing
look upon. But this is an ago
progrew , and there is an intimat
th t oven aUgo kisses muni bo
formed. At last there appears a '
man and an attress who deckr.es t
they must luvva their limit ; that
it were , they most bo delivered
omtly , in order , and without un
Jiagering. The name of the refer
need not bo mentioned. It is c
nctusary to tell her story. She

V , kiss is the sort of salutation JTig-
nold , when parforming in thnt phy ,
uiod to give the lady who plnycd the
part of thn French prince. Hu
approached her from , behind , took her
lace with both hands under thr
chin , turned her mouth toward him
aud kissed it over her shoulder. In
the play of 'Passion's blftvo' , Sir.
Stevens , oa the occasion of the first
performance , kissed mo in this way.
Afterward I tried to so hold itiy head
that ho would kita my chin , but as I
could not always succeed in this. I
hare given up my engagement aud
left the cimptny. 1 am not n prude ,
but I do not think anyone but n hut-
bund , mi cngiged lover or n gnardlan
should ki the way Mr. Stevens
kilted me in the play. "
_ Thenu sentiments are admirable ,
with the potsiblo exception cf the
privilege givou to guardian ? , Ai to
the propriety of abolishing the
Uenry V. kiss from the "ataRO bus-
incus , " however , there can bo no sort
of doubt.
Lyric titars ,
Signer Brignoll ( and , by the way.
ho pronouncet it Brin yo-ly , with the
accent on the first nyllablc ) , ha * been
making a concert tour with Fnny
Louise Kellogtr , and the papnrs com
plain that ho puts in moat of his time
getting drunk. Thin tasy or may not
bo true , os it would bin pretty hard
thing for ono not well acquainted with
Brignoli to determine accurately when
he was drunk or when sober. Brig-
nnli has always boon notorious for
brutal ciccentricltioB , and yet , with nil
his foibles , ho has n warm , generous
heart , nnd his fidelity to those
whom ho likes is ono of his beat
traits. Btignoll must now bo ever
sixty years of age ; our , fathers and
mothorn fell in love with his silvery
voice long ago when they were young.
The spectacle of the old man the
hero of mny a lyric triumph now
traveling about thu country with an
inferior company , in the hope ot earn
ing enough money to lido himself
over from this to next season , is a sad
one. Brignoll will not admit , how
ever , that ho has lost any of his vocal
power nnd ho cannot realise that the
oublic go to hoar him in the same
spirit of curiosity that wo cce
.in old soldier shoulder his
crutch and show how fluids
are won. lie is a great admirer of
Emma Abboti'a Arltno. "Emma can
