great woman as an incentive, yet we are not to be blamed, as the facts were sought and promised, but never reached us.
However, we give the following from the Colored American as to her study, travels and accomplishments:
RENOWNED IN EUROPE AND AMERICA.
Just sixteen years ago there appeared on the stage in San Francisco a young colored woman who had spent three years in musical study under the great artist, Signora G. Bianchi. So great was the success of her debut that it became an ovation. This young woman was no other than Madani Selika.
Beginning her career at this time, she has continued winning triumph after triumph over all the world, until now she holds the distinguished honor of being the most skilled and most renowned of her race among the music-loving public. The Boston Herald, after complimenting Madam Selika in high terms, sa3's: "Especially sweet are her upper tones."
Madam Selika has not only won triumphs in this country, but she traveled five years in Europe, winning laurels in Germany, France, Russia, Italy, Belgium, and England. A little over a year ago she made a triumphant tour over Norway and Sweden, receiving marked honors at Christiana. In London our distinguished race woman appeared on the stage of St. James Hall in a concert given under the patronage of the Spanish Minister. The others of the programme were the renowned Madam Carlotta Patti, Madam Norwich, Messrs. Percy Blandford, Joseph Lynde, and Signor Vigara.
Madam Selika is erecting a beautiful home in Cleveland, Ohio, and w411 soon retire from the stage to take a well-earned retirement. All who have not heard her should not lose another opportunity. Those who have listened to her charming voice will not fail to hear her on her last appearance.
