or the negro race in Virginia and for such Indians
as may be sent to it by the National Government. It has 600
members, and these have sent some very fine harness, woolen work
and carpentry work.
A curious display from the Gregory Institute, Wilmington, N. C.,
teaches quite a lesson in domestic economy. The girls have sent
specimens of "stocking darning" and of that still more
economical and homely employment known as "re-footing old
stockings." A patchwork quilt made by the boys, forms a part of
this display. Looking over the exhibits made under the American
Missionary Association, the writer is pleasantly impressed with
the excellent care with which the colored and Indian pupils all
over the country are being instructed in trades. As cooks,
carpenters, blacksmiths, farmers, brick-makers they are being
practically instructed, as well as being given good collegiate
educations.
The display of drawings from the Le Moyne Institute, of Memphis,
is exceedingly beautiful and attracts universal admiration, as
being most artistic and complete.
