Tho New York Herald speaks of his la.e
performances in tho following terms:-
The engagement of this singular colored
Child ofgenius is drawing TO a close. 1t
will probably not be- prolonged beyond
this week. Whoever has failed to attend
the marvellous performances of Blind Tom
therefore ouSht not 10 neglect the pr sent
| opportunity. OF mere music the public
have an abundant supply; but when it
emanatcs from a condition Of idiocy, when
you might us well expect one of the orang
ontangs from Barnums cage to step on the
stage and reproduce the most exquisite
creations of manners as to see the thing
really done by this poor, dcmented negro
when you see his sishtless eyes wandering
in vacancy, and his tongue larping his
lips as if he were turning some sweet NOR
sci, while a flow of melody is pouring from
beneath his fingers, it is impossible not t.
wonder at the mysterious dispensation of
Providence that has bestowed upon this
nonentity-thi' being so little higher than
n brute-one of the choicest of its gifts and
the ability to illustrate that gift with all
the art that attends the choicest culture. 1t
Iy twenty years has startled the musical
and critical world by his performances on
the piano, but how he does it is problem
that is not likely to be solved this side of
eternity. Last evening he was in fine
humor and played at his best, 81 ing not |
only repetitions of such works as the |
4" Rhapsodia Hongroise," "Trovatore," |
Pleyers Hymn, with variations, and Ma
tional melodies of different countries, but |
novel and startling effects of
his own. Two or three of his original |
songs were full ofexquisite beauty, and his
descriptive of the Battle of
Manassas lost none of it freshness or quaint
ners from the fact that it has been heard
scores of times before. AS q musical
without other intelligence
than that which is conveyed from a single
organ in his brain to his ten fingers, Blind
Tom is undoubtedly the most remarkable
in Christendom.
Remember that Blind Tom will
perform at the Odd Fellows Hall
next Monday evening.
