A Magnificent Tribute I Ole 801 l had mode every arrangement for Ms de parture to Norway. America bad received Mm well, and he bad enchanted America with the (trains of bl» vloiln. Wherever he had been, the musical talent of the country bad •orreaderod their bigbeat encotnluma, and the great inusiciaa looked back upon Ma snecesses with a feeling of regret that he mat leave the land tn which ho had achieved them. A grand complimentary concert had been planned tor him, and the Everett Boom* in New York were thronged with the friend* who bad come to pay homage to hl* genius and bld him farewell. Musicians whose fame bad flooded the land and crooeed the water clustered around him. Men who had become the high priests of mnslc filled the rooms. It was a grand tribute to the old man’s succeas tn life, and one which he never forgot, even when the storm* of congratulation tell around him In Ma native land. _ The concert opened with Rossini’s overture to •’ Semlramlde," arranged for piano and violin. Mia, Annie A. Watson, niece of Mr. J. Jay Wataon. bad been aelectcd to accompany Ole Bull, and th* vaat audience aat In amazement as the grana old opera flooded the rooms. It seemed aa If fresh Inspiration touched ibe airtuga of the violin that night, and In sweet accord arose the strains or the piano, enriching the effort* of the great artist, and expounding the music as never bad the chorda of piano expounded It before. Writing to a friend about the concert, Mr. Wataon said: ** Before the overture was finished I bad decided that a great revolution had been effected in planomaklug—the beautiful Uhe and wonderful equality throughout Ita whole com xass captivated me at once, and afthungh the • Everett Rooms' are exceedingly deficient la their construction. In point cf musical acoustics. several prominent musical artists present assured me that the most delicate passage* executed upon the Instrument were perfectly distinct in every part of the hall. Since the date of this concert the Mathuahek piano haa been my favorite. Ole Bull remarked, a short time since, while examining the equalized seal", * that It would remedy the great evil that had bean the cause of so many failures in constructing pianos by the continual drawing of many thousand pounds’ weight upon one part of the Instrument; this continual strain from a given part causes the piano* made upon ordinary principles to become comparatively worthless In a few years, while the new and scientific Improvement of the equalizing scale render* it actually an Impossibility for the pianos to become strained or warped In any way.* ‘Comparisons are always odious,' but I do not hesitate to say that the Mathushek pianos are undoubtedly the most reliable Instruments made. Experience has taught me that persons purchasing pianos should a«k themselves the question, before selecting one, * Where can we purchase instruments that will sound well after ten years' use ?' Pianos may have a charm when we first hear them, bnt in a few months they will begin to show their weak points, and. In a couple of years at the farthest, become more like the tinkling of a cracked cow-bell than a musics! Instrument. I firmly believe that the Mathuahek pianos will last a life-time, and the day Is not far dlatant wben this Instrument will take the lead of every other now in use." The Incressed sale of these pianos and the constant demand have compelled Messrs. Peltok A Pom* boy, the Chicago Agents, to move into larger and more commodious warerooms, at No. 150 State street, where all classes of Instruments of tbe celebrated Mathuahek make are on exhibition.
