let, rests naturally upon the hip; on
the left arm hangs a military cloak,
while the leftihand holds tile bilt OF
a sword whose point touches pile
OF hewn stones, its empty scabbard
hanging from belt around tho
waist. The form, the attitude, tho
face and the expression of the coun.
tenance combine to make one of the
most impressive of statues. This

BLIND ToM.--Washington Hall was
moderately filled last evening, to hear
the performance of the famous musical
prodigy, Blind Tom.
As he had been here before, and most
of the citizens had heard him, the at
tendance last night was probably gagged
by that fact, otherwise his wonderful
musical talent would doubtless have
drawn a larger house.
The programme was largely governed
by Toms caprices, but most of the selec-
tions were excellent and worthy, some of
them for real beauty and merit as musi-
cal productions, and some on account of
the display of the wonderful initiative
faculties of the performer. Noticeable
among them was his imitation of music
box, which was perfect; also his imitation
Of a church organ. His playing was done
entirely on the piano, one of Stein ways
grands.
He sang several pieces in voice full
Of power and richness, and elected hearty
applause. And, by the way, Toms
habit Of applauding himself at the con-
clusion of each piece was as amusing AS
any of TIE rest OF the performance.
He made some three or four speeches
that were So evidently parrot-likc ycci-
tations, that they were supremacy ridicu-
lous,

YESTERDAY, at the Baltimore and Ohio

then took his two children and walked
out on the bridge to view the sights, and
while there the train started. He made
frantic effort to get on he train but
policeman Roeder soon put a stop to that.
He looked after the departing tram while
great drops Of sweat stood on his brow
and despair was pictured on every fea-

Niblo was nowhere. The train was stop

he was happy.
WE saw "A fellow going down West

he seemed to be trying to see how near
he could come to walking along the pave

He made it all right for about three or
