. George Fox, the Walkerton
Musica Prodigy, in Toronto.
From the Globe.
The name of George Fox, the infan-
tile pianist, has already become toler-
ably fanailiar to newspaper readers, but
few, even of those who had previously
perused the a.ccounta given of his per-
formanees, could listen to his playing at
Nordheimer's on Monday afternoon
without p. feeling of astonishment.
"Blind Tom " has always, and justly,
been regarded. as a phenomenal mu-
sician; and in view of his great lack of
intellectuality, producing a mental con-
dition bordering on idiocy, his com-
mand over the key -board is certainly
marvellous. But in' his case there is
nothing to' attract the spectator except
the astoiaishing fact of such a perform-
ance front such a boy. On the contrary,
George Fox is, though a trifle under-
sized. for his age, an exceptionally
handsome and intellectual little fellow,
as keen at driving a bargain and as fond
of rornping and play as any other boy of
his years. His face, an unusually ex-
pressive one, is a perfect study while be
is performing. Anything that is of an
ordinary character is so easy to him
that he &DOn becomes listless in the ren-
dering of his improvised, accompani-
ments;. but let a skilful pianist or vio-
linist commence to play tlassical music
with frequent changes of key, and he is
atonce alive to his task, whichlhe per-
forms with an accuracy that compara-
tively few, pianists ever attain to. His
manner and facial expression show how
closely he follows every turn, of the
melody—so closely that he seldom fails
to change his key correctly at the pro-
per time, and to close with the most; ab -
Solute certainty along with the person
he is accompanying.
A. few musicians and amateurs were
informed that this little fellow would
be at Messrs. Nordheimer's music
rooms, when an opportunity would,pre-
sent itsellof hearing him, and judgin
- of his capabilities.. Accordingly at „
o'clock quite a number had assembled,
including several ladies, who, endeavor-
ed to show their liking for him by fond-
ling and petting him, to which, how-
ever, he expressed a decided aversion;
as being too frivolous and trivial. Mas-
ter George was placed at a Chickering
grand, and 'expressed a complaint that
his legs were not lona enough to reach
the pedals, which had to be worked for
him by his father..
His first effort was an improvisation
of what might be termed a reverie, com-
mencing in A minor; which showed'an
astonishing correctness of harmony,
with the details well filled in. This
improvisation was full of good musical
ideas, but they crowded on him BO fast
that his phrases were always shortened
—driven, as it were, by a new concep-
tion which must out, and which, pecu-
liarly enough, must appear in a new
key. Thus, while he played. any one
strain full of delicate sweetness, he
would, with a bold, abrupt modulation,
bring forth a new idea in another key.
These modulations, while abrupt, were
always harmonically correct. This is
the more astonishing as he has not had
any tuition. His idea of melody, and
of the relation of notes to each other in
concords and discords, and the resolu-
tions of the latter, must be innate, as it
cannot possibly be acquired. This is
the more evident as he was placed at
quite a distance from the piano, and. out
of sight of the keyboard, and was able
to name any note or combination of
notes, whether in concord. or discord, as
soon as struels, a great deal quicker
than a practised pianist could name
them while standing over the piano and
seeing the keys that were struck. He
recognizes each note by sound, as we
would recognize an acquaintance by his
appearance. A gentleman then played
several airs extempore on the violin,
and the lad accompanied him on the
piano, always in correct harmony, fol-
lowing the changes ot key and strain
immediately, and not hesitating, to ex-
press'. in a semi -contemptuous way: that
it was too easy for him. A lady then
sat down at another piano and played
various airs, to which he improvised
variations brilliant and rich.. A pecu-
liarity of his variations is that he may
improvise them in entirely different
styles on different days. "Yesterday
they were rolling, fluent arpeggi, and at
times a brilliant series of staccato double
octaves. While his performance was
in many instances crude and wanting
in polish, it was always original. In-
deed, he does not remember his impro-
visations, and cannot be made to play
any style to order. His execution is
not clear nor strepg, as his hands are
- small and his strength of hand light.
Should he in future years be placed un-
der a good master of technique, his in-
tuitive perception of harmony will de-
velop in him quickly a composer of no
mean order, and one who will in all
probability attach himself to a severe
classical school.
This wonderful boy musician, who
seems to be little short of a second
Mozart, is a son of Mr. Fox, a jeweller
of Walkerton, in the County of Bruce.
The exact age of the -child is seven and
a half, and he has been playing and im-
provising on the piano for about four
„ years. Before he was three years of
age he was able to beat the time for or-
dinary music on a tiny drum, and a
few mouths later he showed, without
- any preliminary training whatsoeVer,
the capacity to accompany melodies on
the piano. He has during these four
years practised but' little, and has never
had a lesson in music. He deprecates,
without a particle of pretence, his own
performancessand is always reluctant
to display his powers. This reluctance
does not appear to be due to diffidence,
for he has in the presence of spectaters
an air of nonchalance which the most
- veteran and skilful artist might well
envy. It seems to be due rather to a
lofty ideal of art, the presence of
which, in the mind of the child, is
the most singular feature of his char-
acter.
Conveniences on. the Farm.
We ask every farmer, the first half
day of rainy or idle time, to sit
down and seriously inquire . of himself
if there are not . many conveniences
needed about house, barn, cribs and
stables which he- could easily and
cheaply construct. Confine this inves-
tigation not entirely to conveniences for
himself, but extend it to all depart-
ments—for the wife, daughters, SODS
and hired help. Do you wade through
mud to the barn in the rains and thaws
of the spring? Ifow easily this could
be obviated by gravel or plank walks.
Are the members of your far/lily exposed
to the same inconvenience in going tO
the well, the smoke -house, the chicken
house, or even to the front gate? And
yet some people think you are a good
husband and father. How are the steps
to go into your cellar? Are they in good
order, and are the steps of the proper
height for your over -burdened wife to
descend or ascend easily? Is the,wood-
house distant and inconvenient, or have
you no such convenience, leaving your
family to dig the wood from the snow
in winter, or use it dripping wet with
water in summer?'For feeding and
watering the stock, is it as con.venient.
and labor saving,as it should be?'The
main cribs should be a distance from
the 'barn and stables, but for conven-
ience for feeding there should be a
place near the horses for a load or two
of corn and oats for feeding. There
should be easy and safe ladders for as-
cending mows or stable lofts. Men and
boys are seriously injured for life by
pulling themselves up by their arms sev-
eral times per day. There should be a
corner for bedding for horses, and a
trap-door for dropping it down behind
the horses. If this is not the case, the
difficulty of obtaining' it in bad weath-
er deprives the horses of this comfort
when they need it most. Every farm
should have a wheelbarrOsi; which any
handy man can make himself. A hand
truck is convenient for hailing heavy
articles, such as bags of grain, moving
stoves in the fall and spring, and hun-
dreds of other purposes. A light but
strong -skid for loading and unloading
salt barrels, Etc., can be made on a
wet or leisure day, should be in a con-
venient place, and handy when de-
manded. A rack, should be made in
the most public room of the barn for
hanging up forks, shovels, spades, idle
halters, (44c. And thus if the farmer
will repair to his baba and spend other-
wise idle time in planning conveniences
he will find that he has no such time to
hang heavily on his bands. And these
conveniences will make life pleasanter,
the family happier, 'and home 'the best
spire to stay.
Raising First -Class Stock—Bet-
'ter Farming and Trnproved
Dairy Products—The True
National Policy for Canada.
1The very low prices realized lately by
farmers for their butter has led many
of those residing in ,this Province, as
well as in Eastern Ontario, to reduce
very materially the number of mulch
cows which they intend keeping
through the approaching winter. Many
of the habitans- dwelling north of this
city, as well as some of the, farmers in
the Ottawa district, have let half their
niikh cows go dry early this fall, and
are selling them to drovers at exceed-
ingly low rates, because it does not pay
to feed cows when they get so little for
their butter. One effect of this reduc-
tion -in the number of live stock kept
on the farm will be that fodder will be
plentiful and cheap in some places
where, owing to the severe drought in
summer, it -would otherwise have been
scarce and high-priced. This fact
ought to induce such farmers as have
suitable'cattle to put them up in stables
and -fatten them for the British market
next spring, instead of selling them at
the low prices which butchers are now
paying. .Unfortunately few farmers re-
siding in the districts where cattle are
being decimated this fall have been in
the habit of raising cattle suitable for
sending across the Atlantic. The ani-
mals they have are too small, except
the old oxen and slab -sided bulls,which
cost to& much to fatten, and which',
though under ordinary circumstances
marketable here, are utterly unsuited
to the British markets. It is very like-
ly that the effect of the British Con-
tagious Diseases' Act, which comes into
operation on the 1st of May next, will
give to Canadian cattle a great advan-
tage over all imported cattle in the
British markets, since Canada is the
only country which has adopted suffi-
ciently stringent regulations for pre-
venting the introduction of contagious
diseases from other countries where
they prevail to a greater or less degree.
Consequently, next summer, when the
cattle brought from the continent, and
also from the United States ports, will
require to be slaughtered at the port of
disembarkation in Britain, the owners
of Canadian cattle can take them to
any town or city in Britain where they
can realize the highest prices. It is a
great pity that the only part of Canada
which is likely to derive much benefit
frOm this favorable condition of the
British markets, for some years to come;
is what is known 4v the Western penin
sills, of Ontario • for only there, to any
extent, are cattle raised suitable for ex-
portation. It is to be hoped that the
farmers who are now selling off their
old stock of cows will replace them
as soon as possible with animals of su-
perior breed, and should the unremun-
erative prices received for common
country -made butter lead to the gen-
eral establishing'pf creameries, as well
as to more carefulness in the manufac-
ture of butter in farmers' homes, the
whole Dominion will have no cause to
regret the occurrence of such hard
times as the present, which obstinately
refuse ,to improve, although the Na-
tional Policy doctors have been called
in. Perhaps, on the whole, it was best
for Canada that the National Policyists
acceded to power at the present junc-
ture. So lona as a large number of
the people believed that Government
could permanently enrich a whole
country, either by the creation of fiat
money, or by taxing one portion of the
people to enrich another portion, no
great efforts were likely to be made at
improving the present condition of
things; but when the great mass of the
people realize that the so-called Na-
tional Policy was concocted for the pur-
pose of benefitting manufacturers and
place -hunters, at the expense of the rest,
of the population, they may learn that
wealth is only to be increased by great-
er exertion in getting or by (Treater
economy in spending, and that the few
who succeed in getting rich otherwise
than by the sweat of their brow are the
not always honorable exceptions to a
general law of nature. They will then
set earnestly to work at improving their
modes of carrying's:el their business. It
(is generally conceded that the four
bounties of Huntington, Chateag,uay,
Stanstead and Compton produce more
first-class much cows than all the other
portions of the Province of Quebec.
That even the farmers of these four
counties do not raise half as many good
cows as they might do is quite evident,
for were it otherwise the price- of good
mulch cows would not continue to ad-
vance in this market, while inferior
bossies and and beef critters in general
are almost unsalable, except at such
low prices as are sometimes received
