MUSIC - Concerts (Cont'd) 1073 . H June 3; adv:2/3 - To the Public: A band of impostors have been advertising, and appeared June 2, in Buffalo, N. Y., under the name of "the Campanologian Brothers or Band of Bell Ringers" for the purpose of deceiving the public and causing them to believe these impostors are the original Bell Ringers, who have received the applause of thousands in almost every city in the land.
I consider it my duty to state that "The Original Campanologian Band of Bell Ringers" are now in Cleveland, and will give their first Concert at Apollo Hall tomorrow evening, Wednesday, June 4th.

1074 . H June 3; adv:2/4 . Extraordinary Musical Novelty. - The Citizens of Cleveland are respectfully informed that the celebrated Swiss Bell Ringers will give a Grand Concert at the Apollo Hall, Wednesday Eve., June 4th.
This is the original Campanologian Band assisted by Mons. Messemer, Cornetist.
(2)
1075 - H June 5; ed: 2/1 - The masses went to Apollo hall last evening doubting the possibility of the entertainment by the Swiss Bell Ringers being anything but a humbug which editors had brought into notice by a flourish of the quill, and at their entrance their impressions were not lessened by the uncouth array of auction bells, porter's bells, kall bells, dinner bells, table bells, and boudoir bells, "all in a row" on the table.
"The first piece, 'the Bell Waltzes, ' dispelled all misgivings, and called out an irresistible enthusiasm which found vent in loud and rap- turous applause that showed the delight of all. We have never seen an audience more delighted with an evening's amusement, nor a novelty so entirely successful in the performances of its promises. It was per- fect harmony in all its parts, without a discordant tone to jar the finest ear." (6)

1078 - H June 9:3/1 - The week opens with two rare musical treats. This evening the Swiss Bell Ringers give another concert at Apollo Hall, an entertainment truly pleasing and unique; and tomorrow evening the world- famed Ole Bull discourses on the "sweet - sounding viol," - our Cincin- nati friend gives an inkling how Mr. Duffield, a very popular Western Vocalist, will sing some of his best songs. (verbatim) (1)

that no other people ever attempted to do ....
"We have a decided genius for everything, but if there is one thing in which we are pre-eminent, it is music, - and if any one doubts it, let him attend a Concert of Music at the Apollo Hall, and see how the whole mass is agitated by the performance of any popular melody."
We felt assured that the "Swiss Bell Ringers" would make a decided hit, and that their performances justified our expectations. There was however, something wanting to give a finish to the performance. Unique as the novelty was, it was not quite pe fect. It was the musi- cal heels' that were needed to give the finishing touch and add sub- limity and grandeur to melody and harmony. Thanks to the small corps of street minstrels who were present last night for the inimitable perfec- tion they had attained by long practice with their heels on dry goods boxes. Their "musical heels" kept such perfect time upon the floor that although they were scattered through the room, all were in perfect unison showing a long and systematic course of drilling, scarcely ex- celled by the "Bell Ringers," who doubtless found in their music a most valuable auxiliary.
"Would it not be advisable for the 'musical heels' to wait upon Ole Bull today and offer their services to him for this evening? They gave so novel satisfaction last evening, that we feel assured if be had been present he would promptly have requested an interview with them for pro- curing an engagement this evening. Quere - Did the great bard understand human nature when he wrote 'Music bath charms to sooth the savage breast. '" (12)
1080 - H June 11:3/1 - A very large audience last evening attended Ole Bull's concert at the Apollo ball, many induced by a desire to see the "Wizard of the North," who has such a marvelous reputation as a violinist, and others to gratify their musical taste and extend its cultivation by listening to what musical critics pronounce the near attainment of per- fection. The whole audience seemed unanimous in the conclusion that Ole Bull is a great fiddler, leaving it with each other separately to decide whether less scientific pieces would not have given greater pleasure in- dividually. The songs by Duffield gave universal satisfaction, alike from the rich fulness of his voice, the style in which they were sung, and the judicious selection he had made. He is a Buckeye, at least by adoption if not by birth, and we hope to hear of him hereafter as a ballad singer not surpassed by any competitor. (8)
1081 - H June 12; ed; 3/1 - The New York EXPRESS says: The Campanolo- gians proper and the Campanologian imitators are nearing each other from opposite quarters rapidly; and at Cleveland, O., Corbyn, who travels with the "simon pures," publishes a card in which he puts the public "out west" on their guard against the others. What a ringing of bells, if not of something else, there will be when the two parties meet.
The anticipated meeting did not take place, the imitators shying off and playing the Simon Pures a Yankee trick instead of a rival chime .... Yankees are hard to out-ring or out-wit." (4)

Their audiences have increased every night, and, no mean compliment, the same persons have attended nearly every Concert. Those who do not go to-night, that have not yet attended, will loose a treat they will ultimately be sorry for. Mr. Sloman's "Blue Beard" is worth the price of admission. (verbatim) (2)

NEGROES 1120 - H Apr. 19:3/2 - In a letter to the editor, H. M. T. says: I was much pleased with the sentiments expressed by your Pittsburgh correspon- dent. 1 have most ardently hoped that our legislature would remove those stains of injustice which have dishonored our statute book for so long a period. Whatever palliation may be offered in behalf of those who originally framed the so-called "Black laws," it would seem that the in- vestigations that have been made, and the successful result of well tried experiments to elevate the Negro race, could leave no excuse for those called upon to legislate at the present day.
It is no longer necessary to search the records of antiquity, to advert to such characters as Scipio, Hannibal, Euclid, and many others, to prove that men of dark complexions are endowed with the same essential proper- ties as the fairest race.
"I am unwilling to believe that any sincere lover of liberty will in- tentionally do aught that will for a moment darken a human mind, or sub- ject a fellow being to unjust servitude. Yet, I fear we do not always regard consequences so fully as we might. A free colored population, intelligent and virtuous, capable of discharging the high responsibilities of life would furnish the most unanswerable argument in favor of the ex- tension of our civil rights to the less favored of their race."
