AMUSEMENTS.

THE CHERNIAVSKYS. On? musical population are on the qui vivo of excitement over the visit of tlie great Russian artists, Loo, dan and Mischel Chorniavsky whose portraits appear above. Their talent is of most remarkable order, in irio work and alone. Their manipulation of idle violin, piano and ’cello is most brilliant. The great welcome extended to them when last they visited our laud is being intensified now. Their work, too, remarkable as it always was, is vastly improved, in this respect the old adage “practice makes perfect” is exemplified, for since they left ns their time has been fully occupied in giving concerts. The Cherniavskys are as popular iu their lives as in their public careers, m Capetown they wore lavishly entertained by Sir Meiring Bock, one of the foremost South African musicians, and Lady Beck, with whom they stayed at their beautiful Tulbagh home. By Mrs Alexander Van der Byl, a lady who had the honor of entertaining at a house party King George of England, when he visited the Cape as the Prince of Wales, also the Duke of Cambridge; and' Airs Henry Cloete, of Alphen, Wynberg, one of the leading South African hostesses, in Europe, too, they are received in the various courts and made, much of by jocioty, in general. They possess in addition to their talent most charming dispositions and fascinating manners, ml are brilliant conversationalists, taking, as they do, the keenest interest i i all the topics of tlie day.
