PrPER's OPERA HoUsE.-Blind Tom
again amused and delighted a large
audience at Piper's Open House last
evening with his excentricities Of man
nsr and matches playing. The audi
encs was divided in opinion as to
whether he Is artless or artful. Be
that as Il may, Tom Is a wonderful fel.
low, a child Of nature under the spe-
cial protection Of Euterpe and all the
rest Of the musical divinities. The
entertainment being somewhat similar
to that OF the previous evening, we
will not enter into . detailed descrip-
ton of the same. During the evening
Tom recited an extract from one OF
Stephen A. Douglas speeches, Initial
ing the great stump orator with singu-
lar fidelity. In order 70 test Toms
memory and capacity for Imitation,
Miss Emma Tausig was called upon
the stage and played an operate Sc
lection remarkably we'll for 50 young .
performer. As soon AS she had con-
Guided Tom took his seat at the plano
and repeated the piece note for note.
His principal gems during the even-
ing consisted OF an imitation Of q mu-
sic box, beautifully done; an imita-
ton of hand organ grinding, which he
| picked up In the streets Of London and
reproduced upon the plano after a few
trials, "Home, Sweet Home" and the
- Battle of Manassas the latter a
really wonderful production. He be-
gan by representing the Southerners
leaving their homes for Manassas,
the tife and drum being heard family
In the distance playing the tune Of
"Phe Girl I Left Behind Me-" The
music could be heard more and more
distinctly as the rebel troops neared
Manassas. Next could be heard the
| Union forces leaving Washington for
the battle field. the bands playing
"Dixis." A low. sweet air, indicated
the preparations which were being
made on the v Of the battle. The
stirring notes Of General B~eauregard's
war bugle could be heard giving or
ders for an advance; next came the
answering notes from the commander
of the Federal forces, followed by the
booming Of cannon and rattle OF mus
kerry. The arrival by rail OF rebel re-
Inducements from the Shenandoah
Valley, was faithfully nsted, even to
the whistle and chi-chi-chi of the loco
motive. Immediately upon the dis
embarkation Of the relnforcements the
battle was renewed with yigor, the
laundering Of artillery and the rapid
| discharges of musketry marking the
progress Of the deadly atfray. The
climax Of the piece was the retreat"
Tom will appear again at the opera
House this evening and those VINO 20
to hear HIM will get their moneys
worth unquestionably.
