Since the revolution, tapestry alone is manufactured here, on two sorts of looms, distinguished by the denominations of haute and basso lisse, which are fully explained in an interesting Notice, published by the intelligent director, GUILLAUMOT, who, it seems, has introduced into each of these branches several recent improvements.
Her singing in Italian opera was everywhere a source of the most enthusiastic ovation, and, as she rose like a star of the first magnitude in the world of song, so the young De Bériot was fast earning his laurels as one of the greatest violinists of the day. In 1830 an indissoluble friendship united these two kindred spirits, and in 1832 De Bériot, Lablache, the great basso, and Mme.
Fenellan would not call him The Inchcape Bell! She murmured this to herself. Mr. Barmby was absent for two weeks. 'Can anything have offended him? Victor inquired, in some consternation, appreciating the man's worth, and the grand basso he was; together with the need for him at the Lakelands Concert in August. Nataly wrote Mr. Barmby a direct invitation. She had no reply.
Yet the air is not foul and many a broad street by the Basso Porto in Naples smells far worse. The keen high atmosphere of the Calabrian mountains is a mighty purifier of nastiness, and perhaps the pig is not to be despised after all, as sanitary engineer, scavenger and street sweeper.

In the morning a storm, driving out of the east, enveloped the coast in a frigid, lashing rain. The wind mounted steadily through the middle of the day with an increasing pitch accompanied by the basso of the racing seas.
C. Third voice, or Mental Basso, low grumble of importunate self-repeating idea. A. White lace, three skirts, looped with flowers, wreath of apple-blossoms, gold bracelets, diamond pin and ear-rings, the most delicious berthe you ever saw, white satin slippers B. Deuse take her! What a fool she is! Hear her chatter! Came over in the "Mayflower" on the first old fool's face.
As you walk round the church, you can not fail to be struck with the great variety of ancient and to an Englishman, whimsical looking mural monuments, in basso and alto relievos.
