AN INFANT ORATOR. "A San Francisco
correspondent Of the \ lbauy Journal has dis
covered in that city new Young American
orator, named Ellie Brown, and only five years
old. Somewhat enthusiastically he commuo-
Gates the news which may be classed as sad by
MANY readers, thus: His declamations are
really astonishing. He has spoken many times
10 public, before large audiences, ,recitlng the
most difficult and lengthy pieces 10 manner
unsurpassed by mauy Of our distinguished
orators. He has full voice, anu he speaks
distinctly, and with the most accurate pronun
citation His elocuton is such as we would ex-
pect oBly from an experienced orator OF ma
ture years. His rendition of the Personal
Character of Abraham Lincoln 'Shcridan's 5
Ride Charge Of the Light Brigade, 'Shamus
O'Brien,' The Fireman, aud several other
pieces, astonishes every one who hears him,
and almost induces the beliefthat there is some
thing supernatural in his efforts. He Is very
bright; vivacious lad full Of mischief and play,
and his speaking does not seem to be at all la
borious. 1t is only necessary to read to him
piece two OF three tunes, to enable HIM 10 COM
nit it to memory, and what seems SO strange,
he does not forget any Of his Two hundred aud
fifty pieces. He is great tavorltc, and his
parents, Mr. and Mrs L. a Brown, have rea.
son to be proud of him. He is grandson of
Mr.. William Gage, of Schohare, aud his
molher-tormcrly Miss Augusta Gage--a few
years since resided in Albany. This remarka
BILE lad has not been trained; elocution and ora
tory were perfectly natural for him from the
first momen: that he was able to talk. lie Is IN
deed prodigy. Long lite to him is the wish
of his many friends
