One of the most interesting scenes occurred
at the Front street Theatre this morninr ever
witnessed in Baltimore. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mayor Jerome addressed a note to Jenny Liid, stalinjr the excitement existing mong the children of the public schools, and asking her if she would not afford them an opportunity to see and hear her. She immediately replied that the would be most happy to meet them nt 10 o'clock this morning at the Front street Theatre, and al thai hour not less than COO girls were assembled within its walls. A full orchestra was in attendance, and she sang them several of her best pieces, to their great delight. Her heart, however, was with the boys,
about 1)00 nT whom were waiting outside, and she hastily dismissed the girls to make room Tor them. As soon as the Thertre was cleared, they rushed in with happy hearts; and on the fair song
stress making her appearance, they greeted her
with enthusiastic cheers, for which she thanked
them most kindly. After order was restored, she sung "Home, Sweet Home,"; and after a piece from the orchestra, she came forward and a.i.iressed the children She said it afforded her
gratification to contribute to their pleasure, and
asked them what they would have her sing 5...... of ilieoi cried out one sone. and ei.m au-

Oh, the Spotted Frog! Oli, the Spotted Frog! The light and lire of Mill-Creek's mud Was the lovely Spotted Frog! By stagnant Miil-Creek' muddy marge, The Spotted Frog had birth: And grew as fair and fat a frog. As ever hopped on earth. She was the Frog-Chief's only child, Aud sought by many a frog; But yet on one alone she smiled From the old rotted log. Oh, the Spotted Frog! Oh, the Spotted Frog! The life and light of Mill Creek's mud Was the lovely Spotted Frog! From muddy Mill-Creek's stagnant marge Her bridal song arose; None dreaming, as they hoppad about, Of near encircling foes; But cruel boys in search or sport.
