From the Louisville pemoc


We received, Saturday morning an
invit alton from our enterprising young
friend, Charlie Ward, to met the world
renowned blind pianist, Tom, at the
music store of d. p. Faulds. We were
somewhat surprised to see so many
present. The large piano wareroom
was well fille1 with the beauty and
fashion of our city. When we first saw
Tom, he was twisting himself in every
imaginable attitude, hopping around
on one foot, and his heed bent down
nearly to the floor, resembling in nearly
every gesture the movements of the
monkey much more than a human
being. His manager sounded a call
upon the piano in the far end of the
room and Tom rushed to him evidently
greatly excited. He was then intro
duced to the ladies' and gentlemen. and
after few explanatory remarks from
the manager, he gave, In imitation of
Stephen A Douglas, a speech spoken
by that gentleman some four or five
years ago, in Lynchburg, Va. The i'm
itation was truly astonishing; the
voice, articulation, and. the measure,
brought wildly to memory the lamented
statesman, whose noble voice is hushed
in death After the speech, Tom gave
us several songs with piano accompani-
ment. He sinps remarkably. well, with
great expression he feels and appreci-
ates the incest chords of HARMONY
When playing or listening to music, he
seems to be under something like
mesmeric influence, and sometimes is
so excited and agitated as to tremble
from head to foot, as if suffering entense
pain. He is certainly one of the great
est and most wonderful phenomena of
this century. Prof. w. Mygnus SIENNA
ker, of Lexington, KY, played polka
of his own composition, which has not
yet been published The pics is very
difficult indeed, and after he had fin
ished, Tom played it without missing a
note. He then turned his back to the
piano, which reversed the position Of
his hands, and played Yankee Doodle.

zen of the United States. But hecould
not rest contented. he thought of her
whose Kindness had lightened his prison
hours, and sped by the wings of love, he
came northwara to find her, and yester-
day morning he reached the city, sought
and found sher, and for the first time in
their lives the sweet privilege of speech
with each other was accorded them
How they improved the occasion is not
mine to say. Were / a prophet, know
ing the parties as do, would not be
afraid to predict fair and happy future
for the youthful lovers. A conversa-
ton with the yorngm reveals the fact
that, though somewhat chagrined by
defeat, he yet is content with the result,
and goes for the Unionas, It Isl He re-
CARDS slavery as dead and buried, and In
all respects gives promise that our bit
ter war has not been without good fruits.
He is now in fair way of being recon-
structed. tfa~ IT. E IT,
