a fbffd Orator. Bov Phenomenon.
Master J. Harry Sharon, the in
fant prodigy, or "child orator. as he
Is called in Washington and Balti-
more, where he has come to be very
well known, is now in this city, and
Monday evening he surprised the large
audience, at Gilmore's Garden, by
suddenly mounting the music stand
and beginning to declaim the famous
speech which the Irish patriot, Robert
Emmet, made from the Green street
dock in Dublin. Mr.. Levy had just
finished bis cornet solo, and, as usual,
most of the audience were within good
hearing distance, but when a child be
gan thus on sudden delivery Of a
great speech from the spot Just vaca-
ted by the musicians, every person in
the Hippodrome gathered as near as
possible, and for about forty-eight
minutes Master Harry held his audi
ence. Even the bar-tenders and wait
ers deserted their places and went out
and mingled with the audience, for no
business could be done ns leng as he
continued to speak. The surprise had
been arranged by Mr.. Shook, who is a
friend of the gentleman who has Mas
ter Harry in charge. The child IS a
native Of Washington City. Some
time ago he suddenly developed the
capacity to commit any speech or wri-
ting to memory at single hearing.
His mother was reading aloud, when
her child stopped her suddenly and
asked permission to recite what she
had been reading. lie started off and
repeatsd correS.l;i- ttaAs-fieces PIECES she had
read, at the same time making ges'
lures and modulating bis voice where
it was required, insomuch that his
mother found her boy delivering an
Grafton to an audience of one, and
marveled greatly. She was fri hten-
ed, and ran TO inform some Of her
neighbors of what had happened. Ev-
er since that time the phenomenon has
retained the same, and two or three
public exhibitions have been given in
Washington. Master Harry is now
only seven years old. He has never
received any education-not even
learning to read. He manifests no
desire to get book-learning, apparent
ly satisfied with what he seems to get by
inspiration. His brother who is only
three and halt years old, has, it is
said, developed a talent for music
which is still more wonderful than the
phenomenal rhetorical powers of the
elder brother. 1t is said that Master
Harry wants TO take the stump for
Governor Tilden. In appearance he
is a bright, fne-looking lad, of full
height, though rather slight and deli
cate in build, and with an especially
fine head and pair of eyes.-[N. Y.

the premium on gold down to if not below 10 per

psr cent. loan into which the greenbacks may be
converted when equalized with gold, and reduced
