I As her Rtndies progressed, it became apparent thnt she possessed verv j remai'kal>le musical talent, and, by the advice of her friends, she was eniered iu the llovflA, Aoa^eiQj 9f Music, where she became remarkably ^jLilllol as o | ; |. pianist. The parents of Madam Anna Bishop at first destiAea her for this ^ instrument, and, eventually, contlded her to the care of M. Moschelcs, the great I . Gertnan mu ician, who was the instructor also of Mendelsshon and Liszt. In the meantime her voice deve'oped into a sweet and pure soprano of extraordinary capacity, and it-was decidtwl fof htr tqt beccMna a singer. The { wisdom of such a decision has been proved by the wonderful success that hu» crowned h«r f ffurts as » vocalist. i ■■ ''ill ' " ^ ' ' Mudarn^ VisUop's progress in vocal »rt was so rapid aiid pronounced that,^ ^ ; wh 'n q lite yMng, she was prepared to make her dtbul iil'Lohdoti at a concert, ^ ^ nt which also appeared Grisi, Garcia, Persian!, Bubini, Tamburiui and Lab- | lache ; Thulberg and Dohler presided at the pianoforte, and Bochsa at the harp. ,. Notwithstanding this stupendous array of talent, never exceeded, if equalled, i iu the annuls of concert-giving, the youihful cantatrice created a furore, and made oite of the most brilliant dehu& on record. t MadKm'^BifliOp Wflts Engaged to appaail at th4 KtwA mnsioal festivals of Gloucester, Wot'cester, York, and Hereford. Not satisfied with her great successes in Greit Biitaiu, Madame Bishop started upon a grand tour of Europe, aud Bang before nearly all of the Crowned Hoads of that continent, receiving puperb gifts from Royalty, being received socially in their p daces, and pro- ducing an euthusia'«m among all classes. At Upsala, after her concert, three hunlred studentii cssm|tilfy| and.^ dt is also an extraordinary linguist, speaking fluently eight or nine languages. In Russia, Denmark, and e sewhere, she sang the national ballads in their native languages, producing aa immense sensation. At Moscow, in Russia, she sang the part of Alke iu "Robert le Diablol" in t/te Russian langwige, a feat of stupendous difficulty.

During Madame Bishop's European tour, she appeared in opera and con- certs for several years, her popularity never waning, but absolutf ly increasing. As the radiauoe of her charms became steadily aiigmentini^, her auditorti joined in the most extra vagipikt tpl^«^ of ^etight'aad appreciation. ! ^ With a love for traveling that almost amounts to a passion, Madam B'shop decided to make a concert tour of tbe^ entire globe, and it, our space permitted, we might ^o into detail and mention tlie enthusiastic reception this great vocalist r«c«iv<«d in China, Japan, ^Australia, Nam.

It is entirely probable that Ma me Bishop has been heard by mobk pbopls than any artiste that history reco i. In some respects, she is the obkatkst ARTIST now on the concert stage . rsonally, she has thousands of warm friends, of all climes and kindreds, and wt ever she appears in concerts, the magnetism of her name, which for a number i years has been the synonim of all that is TBCE and BRAL in vocal art. attras the learning, culture, and fashion of th# place who assemble en masse to t honor to such consummate ability.
