exhibition Of his wonderful skill, both as pianist

from eminent musicians in this country and in
Europe, certifying to his marvellous musical gifts
and powers. The following is brief extract from
an article in the London News Of July 23d, 1866;
ga musical wonder has just arrived from Amer
lea, in the person of a blind negro, whose power
of playing the piano by ear is as remarkable as
his appearance is odd and amusing. He not only
performs solos with fun command Of all the dex-
terity which distinguishes pianoforte soloists, but
is able to play from memory, after once hearing 1t,
any piece of music, no matter how elaborate, per-
formed before him for the first time by an accom-
pished player. He can play two distinct tunes at
one tune-one with each hand-and sing another
tune simultaneously, and can perform other clever
musical feats which would puzzle the best trained
musicians, His manners ars eccentric, and he ap-
pauds himself even more loudly and delightedly
than the audience applaud him.

Georgia and is now 27 wears of age.
