platz. They will be one hundred and twenty
five feet long-one to be used by the Amer!-
can visitors and the other three by The Ger
mans. And this is only the beginning.
The Blind Tom Concerts.
When the writer last heard this dusky prodi-
gy his mainstay was brilliant musical de-
scriplion of the battle of Manassas. Doubt
less he has now changed his tune, and does
not dwell with especial weight upon the mar
tial glori.s OF Dixie. But he is unquestionably
q greater marvel than the Siamese Twins or
the Cardiff Giant, and, unless memory is
treacherous, We can safely promise to them
who attend his concerts very pleasant eve
ming. Blind Tom will give four concerts In
Charleston, at the Hibernian Hall, beginning
Wednesday next
