LY is not remarkable, though it is a curi

Bass viol, aud running his little hands up
aud down the finger board. and always
getting out Irue, harmonious sounds. But
the great peculiariiy Of this boy, is, the
wonderful facility with which he will
make and play accnmpaniments 10 all
classes of music. He has no knowledge
of music as science. He has never
been taught it. But he appears to have
an instinct of Harmony. aud knowl
edge of wha, tones accord and harmonise
with other tones. that has surprised and
astnnished all musicians who have ex
perimeDted with him No matter what
the new piece Of music is, he at once a.
hapls n, d plays an accompaniment to it.
Therein is his great popularity. 1t in
