Blind Toms Memory.

The correspondent at Staunton, Va,
OF the Richmond Despatch tells this
story OF Blind Tom'smemory: "Twenty-
one years ago-in 186O-Prof. E. l..
lde, a music teacher at the Wesleyan
female seminary here, attended one of
Toms concerts at Frederick, Nd, and,
to test the genius of the boy, played a
German waltz then but little known.
and made some little changes of his own
in playing it. Tom played it off at once
correctly: The other night Professor
lac asked Tom what was tie name of the
han in which he played in Frederick in
1850. Tom without hesitation gave the
name Of the ball. He was then asked
who played for him and he said Profess
sor lde. He was then asked to repeat
the piece zee that nat; had been played for him
there, and sitting down at the piano he
accurately gave it as he bad heard il
from Professor Ide twenty-one Years
ago, note Tor note, including the change
made by the professor at the time"
