«nce its condition. It stands alone in the
uorUI perliaps without parallel in tiro
nates of musical history. It is so esson-
|”llv J«i generis that no comparison may
he attempted even for simple illustration.
Let us listen for a moment to this bril
liant display of execution. Seales oc
tsres sequences of thirds and sixths, leaps,
tours lie force, arpeggio chords of distant
extension, tremolos, trills and oilier orna
ments of grace carry the hearer along in a
•bower of musical eorruseations; the ear
i>bedazzloil, if wc may boullowed the. fig
ure by the fascinating sounds which crowd
upon li. Hut look who it is who thus en
trances his hearers. It ,s this poor blind boy
-ugly and black—without grace of figuro
or feature. Surely this savage, this goril
la cannot sway our hearts by the power
of'expression. Sny not so, stay a moment.
Listen t*> the plaintive melody made so
lumiliftr lo us in Trovatore., by that in
comparable contralto, Alad. D'Angri.
Hear its sud accents as wailed forth by the
left hnn«l, while the right throws around
itabellimenti light in texture as Mechlin
luce, llis feeling is indeed in execs*, and
there is sometimes a wish that it might bo
moderated, that is, brought down to tho
weak digestion of modern civilized appe
tites and tastes. Some say Tom is an idiot.
Can this bo so? His powers of imitation
and memory are miraculous. But ho im
provises music, arid even plays some of
his own compositions. A storm-piece of
his, which wo have heard, gives the best
musical description of a storm, with its
thunder and lightning, its howling wind
and driven rain, that perhaps has ever
been composed, and wo aro not unmind
ful of Steiball’s Orarjc for tho piano,
Neukomm’s Storms on the Lair, tor tho
orjjan, Rossini's storms in // Rurbicrc and
Ifm. Tell, and Jlaydr.’s rain chorus in tho
Seasons, or Handel’s celebrated Hailstorm
Chorus. Can this be the work of an idiot ?
Is there not hero tho inventive faculty?
Can the creative power exist except in tho
menssana f Those aro puzzling questions
to ho answerod. Wo do not attempt it.
Tom’s perception of pitch, whether in
musical inatrumonts, bells steam-whistles,
or wherever it may bo recognized by hu
man ears, is beyond tolief except by ac
tual presonco at tho experiments made
with him. lie never fails. Tho most
complicated and dillicult chords are in
stantly analyzed by him, and the notes
composing them nnmed unhesitatingly.
By what process of mind this is done it
is impossible lo decide. Mozart had this
power to a certain degree, but doubtless
far less than Tom. Tom can play with
his right hand a melody in one key, say
B flat—another with his left in another
key, say A Hat—and at tho sumo timesing
a third melody in the key of (J major. It
is known of but one other who approach
es this, and that is Gustav 8atlor,who can,
after long practice, play two parts—one in
Gand the other in F. This is considered
among musicians as an insuporablo diffi
culty. But Tom has such command over
the key-board that ho.can play with both
hands with his back turned towards tho
piano. Let any executant try this.
Tom was aided greatly in his effects of
imitation by tho varied powers o f ' the
splendid Steinway grand piano. Tho wido
difference between tho heavy bass rolling
out it9 roaring thunder from the soft trick*
lings of tho upper octaves that ho used in
his imitation of tho musical box whs ob
served on all sides to be surprising. For
perfect effects in music there must bo a
sympathy between tho porformor and his
instrument
, Apart from Tom’s musical genius, yet
inclose affinity with trio qualities making
up the ensemble of his talents is tho curi
ous imitative ability displayed in his de
scription of a locomotive and railroad
train; this is his own, and disoovors the
twcomica to enter largely into his nature.
It i9 difficult to write about this lusus
natunr and not incur the risk of being ac
cused of hyperbola. Tom i9 a musical
inonster, a gigantic genius, doing at voli-
Uon what ordinary men and women spend
a lifetime of labor and study in attempt-

niy of race is denied in the person of
this poor blind slavo boy.

Potatoes.
The following interesting and instruc
tive description of potatoes and their cul
ture, wo clip from tbo Journal of Com
merce's correspondoi ce of a Commercial
Traveler. Notwithstanding tho adapta
bility of soil and climate, our Southern
farmers have not given that attention lo
tho cultivation of Irish potatoes which
they should have done. They can ho
raised to perfection here,and are certainly
a remunerative crop. The writer below
speaks of raising two hundred and thirty
bushels per acre on “poor land.’’ We
aro now pay-ing from $1 oO to $’2 per
bushel. At the former figure an aero of
ground would yield &31f> in potatoes.
Can lAiids be made lo yield more in any
thing oho? We invito attention to the
facts recited in tho following extract:
Returning from my Southern tour I
paid a visit to an intelligent family and
fntniliar^Yiend engaged in agriculture.
Calling at his place of bu.-inoss in Phila
delphia, tho first thing that presented it-
s,elf to my sight was a number ol barrels
of potatoes, while large quantities were
strewn on tho floor. Both as regards „ ,
size and beauty (if 1 may be allowed this ! ly mustered into the service of the United
term) 1 have never anything lo S ates and in consequence thereof under
oqufil. Before obtaining any information ; the act of Congress ubovo alluded to wore
from Mr. H., he took mo lo a platform | free, and had tho right to travel wherever
scale on winch were fifty potatoes, the j tbo}* pleased without a written pass. To
Another Kentucky Diclslon.
Not long sin' o the Appplluto Court of
Kentucky decided that the legal tender
act of Congrcf-s was ancons'.iiu ional. It
appear* from the following that anothor
court decides another law of Congress un
constitutional,
Wx* learn from tho Kentucky Sentinel
that Judge Apporsnn, ntthe August term
of the Montgomery Circuit Court, in the
suit of Henry 1\ Held against the Ken
tucky Stage Company, decided the “Act
of Congress approved March 8, 1865,"
freeing tho wives and children of negro
or colored soldiers, to bo unconstitutional.
The suit was brought by Mr. Held
agai.i't the stage company for damages al
leged to have been sustained by him bo-
caus(vsaid ( stage company, ns ho alleged,
had permitted six of his negroes to ride as
passengers on their coach on the Lexing
ton road without written authority from
him, and by suid act of said company said
slaves had escaped from him.*
The Stage Company, wi'h other matters
of defense, relied upon and plead that said
negroes, were, at tho time they so traveled
on said stage, tho wifo and children of
nry Skinner, a colored soldier, regular
eight of which reached sixty
and tilled an entire bushel! These are
callod the Monitor. Tney wero raised on
very poor soil, without animal manure,
and produced 265 bushels lo the acre.
Another kind which Mr. II. showed me
is called tho Goodrich, far superior to the
Monitor. These come off tho ground so
early as to allow making another crop—
ruta baga, a Swedish turnip. On poor
land 230 bushola have boon raiso i, and on
rich land over 400 bushels per acre. An
other kind which Mr. 11. exhibited to mo
i* called the Cuzoo. On the same land
262 bushels were raised. A gentleman at
Calawissa, as Mr. 11. informed me, on
rich land, obtained 440 bushels.
Now for the treatment. The potatoes
wero all planted whole, of lurgo size-
three feet equal distance, covered six
inches, and cultivated entirely flat—no
hilling being permitted at all. Too crop
was dug by hand with digging forks. Mr.
H. regards the plow us tho most wasteful
implement lor harvesting potatoes. As
regards expense, it cost him $12 per acre
to dig, gather and store the crops named.
No rot ever occurs under this system, and
no failure of tho crop. As high as thirty
bushels per acre of seed wero used of s »mo
large kinds. In storing one pint of froshlT
slacked lime in powder is mixed with each
bushel of potatoes. Any tendency to de
cay from cut or bruised tubers is entirely
arrested. Mr. 11. plows and subsoils
deeply*in the fall,-nnu if the land is poor
manures on tho surfaco and harrows in.
In tho spring subsoils, harrows, rolls and
marks out for corn. At tho intersection
of tho furrows Mr. II.* opens six inches
deep with tho hoe, drops a whole potnton,
upon which ho applies a handful (fifty
bushels por acre) of mineral compost of
wood ashes, plaster, shell lime, hone dust,
(or supor phosphate), arid a little salt.
Covers and rolls. Thiee times hoes in
each direction, and three times hand
hoes. By this method Mr. II, claims—
1st, That there is no failure of the crop.
2cl. No rot of sound varieties.
3d. Tho largest yield the soil is capablo
of.
4th. Tho largest proportion of largo
marketable potuloe.
5th. No degeneracy of varieties,* but
constant improvement.
O h. No necessity for rotation of crops,
as tho potatoo can bo grown indefinitely,
on the same soil, with constantly increas
ing results.
7th. Tho groatest economy of eulturo
and harvesting.
Twonty-ono varieties wero grown by
Air. II. this year, of which the early
Goodrich and the Harrison (not a seeding
of his) ho esteemed far superior to any
other ho has ever raised, and next to tho
Cuzco. Air. H. plants the largest and
finest ho can got, and never allows a cut
one to bo put in tho ground. It is note
worthy that his small potatoes average
one-lenth loss than this crop.
Mr. H. raised on 47*100 of an aero 400
baskets of tomatoes (three equal to two
bushels) which is oqual to 1010 baskets or
690 bushels por acre. They were raised
on tho same soil, manured with one
shovolful of barn compost iri the hill at
tho time of planting. Mr. I!, was once a
land surveyor and civil engineer, and - his
measures can be taken as authentic.

li the plaintiff demurred, and Judge
Apporsnn rendered the following judg
ment on said demurer:
“The demurer to the 3d paragraph of
defendants’ answer must bo and is bush
tained, because although it avers generally
that the slaves alleged to bo taken were
free persons of color, it limits and fetters
this general averment by tbo statement
that they wore clothed with freedom bv
the act of Congress of March 3,1865, which
attempts to liberate tho supposed wives
an-1 children of all colored soldiers then
enlisted thereafter. Women and children
are not held to owo military service to the
Government, and freedom could not there*
fore bo conferred on them for any merito
rious or sufficient consideration moving
from them, it is admitted by tho defen
dants, sub silentio, that these persons
claimed by plaintiff, wore onco his slavos,
and whether slavery be considered a con
dition or a mere relation, Congress could
not change it in regard to these "dry" pa
triots any more than it could break tho
bonds of apprenticeship of a white sol
dier’s wife or child. It could not absolve
tho soldier himself from such bond—but
could hold it in abayance only until tho
first and highost service claimed and held
by tbo Government was rendered. Thu
act is therefore deemed to bo unconslitu-
liorml and void.”
We are informed that tho defendant,
excepted to this judgment by their attor
neys, and intend to take tho case to tho
higher courts—first to tho Appellate Court
cl Kentucky, and if not successful there,
lo theSupreme Court of tho United States.

Tho vote of Connecticut has given For
ney, of tho Philadelphia Press, clearer
ideas of tho duty of the National Union
party. Hear him, as he gives counsel in
a loiter written on tho 3 1, to the Press:
“It is a new evidence that President
Johnson’s example and counsel on this,
and indeed or* the entiro question of re
construction, cannot ho too ardently sus
tained by tbo National Union party. Not
for themselves alone, but also for tho true
and Bisting interests of the colored man,
have tho sagacious men of that organiza
tion in Indiana, Ohio, New York and
Pennsylvania placed themselves at his
side, and prepared the way for groat tri
umphs at the polls. Wn cannot forco this
great innovation upon tho South by con
gressional interference; and when wo at
tempt it by Stale action, and fail, as in tho
case of Connecticut, wo only strengthen
the aroused cnmiiies of tho late slave-
master, and help to deprive tho freedmon
of advantages of immediate necessity. It
i- in vain to deny 'hut a deep-seated pre
judice exists against conferring oven upon
the intelligent colored race tho right of
suffrage, and, whilo I believe it to be tbo
mission of tho great National Union
party to labor to remove that prejudice, it
must not W forgotten that tbero are other
duties of more direct and pressing impor-,
tance, even to tho freedmon themselves,
which cannot bo postponed or endangered
by tho effort to dissipate a feeling which
has existed for centuries. The convention
which nominated Abraham Lincoln and
Andrew Johnson, retusod to make a na
tional test of the question, and nothing
TukSmittkn Hock.—Kov. G. C. Ilur-
lot, an American Missionary in Asia, who
has been making investigations in the re*
gions passed over by the Israelites in their
exodus from Egypt, describes tho discov
ery of a*cloft ruck in tho vicinity of Mt.
Horob:
Tho direction of the spring was straight
across the valley . from tho camping
ground. After leaving the tents, in about
two minutes I ascended the ground where
we made tho circuit, then passed down a
slight declivity, alter which the ground
gradually rose until 1 reached the spring,
in about ten minutes, by a rugged path,
over large boulders of Sinate granite.—
Here 1 was surprised to find a liuo spring
of pure water issuing from a rent in the
rock; the ront was in an oblique direction,
tho highest part of it on tho loft, and
sloping down toward the right. The low
est part ot the flssuro was high as a man’s
head from tho ground. Tho surrounding
rock is tho solid rod granite of Sinai,
smooth on its face and unbroken by fis-
suro or seam. Tho fissure is about six loot
long, about four inches wido, live inches
deep a 1 , tho bottom and Iwolvo at the top,
and runs down into tho rock parallel with
the perpendicular side of tho mountain;
tlio water seems to issue about two feet
above the bottom of tho ront, flowingovor
tho lowest part of it in a stream about tho
thickness of a man’s finger. Tho reser
voir i* about twelvo foot long by live foot
in width, and lour feet deep, and was
nearly full when I reached tho piano.—
When full, the water is lotofl* to irrigate
twenty odd fruit trees. As l was tho first
(so far as I am aware) to observe this sin
gular “rent” in tho “Hock of lloreb,’’
und am unable to find any allusion to it
in the books of Burckhardt, Hobinson,
Stanley, or other travelers, 1 have thought
it my duty to inform tho public of tho
fact, in order that future travelers may
not fail to see it. Could we suppose that
Mosos had a rod about six toet long, and
that, raising tho lower end ns high as his
friends head, he struck it obliquely against tho
