BLIND ToM-A very large and fashionable
audience were in attendance at Deering Hall
on Saturday evening, including many of our
musical conno;sseurs. AT few minutes after
eight the gentleman who has charge of the
musical phenomenon appeared upon the stage
leading Blind Tom by the arm, and introduce
ed him with few remarks, stating that he
was entirely without instruction and almost
an idiot. That he was incapable of under
standing the simplest conversation, but that
his memory was so accurate that he could not
only remember any music that he had once
heard, but could repeat long discourse of
which he did not understand syllable
Blind Tom is about eighteen years of age,
stout and broad shouldered neatly dressed in
black jacket and trowsers. His head has the
abrupt slope from the forehead to the back of
the head, common to idiots, but in many in
stances during the performance he does not
show himself quite as much of a fool as he
looks. He does not appear blind, and many of
his movements on the stage are very quick for
blind person in strange place. His hands
keep up nervous twitching when not en-
ployed at the piano, and he occasionally throws
his head back on his neck in a manner to in
crease the impression of his imbecility So
much for Tom personally. The selections CIV
en- varied from the Moonlight Sonata of Beeth-
oven, of which two movements were played, to
the imitation of a train of cars, and the dec
lamation a speech of Stephen A. Douglas.
All the music was performed as we'll by HIM
so far as the mechanism is concerned, as it
would be done by any of our second-rate art
lists. He seems in execution more particularly
at home in tours de force, although his touch
in the imitation of music box was very deli
cate and accurate. The great test of all was
unfortunately unemployed on this occasion.
Any musician in the audience was invited to
take seat at the piano and play any compost
ton, original or otherwise, and Blind Tom
would repeat it. We are sorry to add no one
could be induced to make the attempt, and
Tom therefore gave FISHERS Hornpipe,'" with
the right hand, Yankee Doodle" with the left,
and sang Tramp, Tramp" all at the same time'
each piece of music being given with great
distinctness. -.-.... r..-.er
The concert was o very enjoyable one, and If
Tom is really an idiot and blind, his perform
ance is simply marvellous. If he is not, he
gives full as good concert for the money as
many so-called distinguished piauists who
have preceded him.

Vote for Gevernor.


We give this morning returns from AIT cities,
towns and plantations, of the vote for Gov
ernor on the 18th instant These returns are
largely compiled from those made by the re-
spective town clerks tn the Secretary of State.
1t viii be noticed that the vote thrown is an
enormous one-the largest by nearly seven
thousand ever given in this State. The heavi-
est vote ever before thrown in this State was
that of 1860. when it counted up to 124,OOO,
This year it will be near 131 900.
The aggregate vote of the Az towns gwen
this morning, excluding the few scattering
votes, is 12983O, of which Gov. Chamberlain
has IA 500, and Mr.. Pillsbury 55,O21; giving a
majority for Gov. Chamberlain of 1878, which
will be increased TO 10000 by the few remain
ing returns to come in. The majority for Gov.
Chamberlain, in our opinion, will not vary five
hundred either way from twenty thousand.
At the election in 1850, when the largest vote
was thrown that has been known in the State,
excepting that of this year. the Republican
majority was 1926. In that year nearly every
voter was ouf, and while the Republicans threw
10000 votes, there were 54,105 thrown against
them.
Compared with the vote of last year IN the
towns given the Republican gain is 7,772. This
is glory enough for the campaign thus far, but
we shall do better for Grant and Colfax by
thousands. -s4

hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for

of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair

consequently prevent badness. Free

Political Notes.

Inc Louisville Journal is delciously scorn-
Jul over The result of the Maine ell eetion. Tt
appears TO ONO, Indiana and Pennsylvania, as
they value their honor, not to be led by the
down-east State. 1t says: "Those proud COM
monwealths are not at the call or beck of
Maine"
The R Rich Dispatch, having noticed the
statement that "Hale, Clay, Dix, and other
Radicals now represe nting the country
abroad" favor the election of General Grant,
is moved to say, in is peculiarly kind manner,
that no one expected men whose continuance
in office depends upon bis election to come out
against him, and that "all such cattle" will be
called home if Seymour should be chosen.
The Democrats of the First Arkansas Dis
trict have nominated "carpet-bagger' for
Representative His-name is @. s. Cameron
and he is Chicago man, who has not even re-
sided in Arkansas during the time required by
law.
The Mobile Nationalist says that out of 5000
colored registered voters in that city, the DEM
ocrats have been able to induce only one hum
dred and ten to debase themselves by so much
as becoming member OF their Club
Republican papers in Delaware claim that
the Republicans are daily receiving large ac-
cessions from the disguised Democracy, and
that Wilmington will give 600 majority for
Grant in November.
The New York World, which has been la
boring for months to show that recons trnction
was failure. has just discovered that recon-
struction is a success. The action of the Geor-
gia Legislature in expelling its colored mem
bers has convinced it, and it now says, "the ex-
ample of Georgia demonstrates that every
thing desramhle can be accomplished through
the agency of the new State governments"
A thoughtful intelligent Southerner, resid-
in Mississippi, writes to friend in Cincinnati
as follows: 81 am, sir, q Southern man by
birth, education, and feelings, and wish only
the peace, quiet, and prosperity of my country,
and as such feel no hesitancy in saying that
that the election of Grant and Colfax can
alone give us these, while the election of Sey-
mour and b lair will bring greatar discord and
more unsettled state of affairs with us than
now exists With Grant and Colfax elected,
our people will cease to fellow the behests of
our wild politicians, and will realize that it is
wise to accept the situation, which thsy will
cheerfully do, and oar peace and prosperity
will certainly follow" "a
