over the mingled lhrong Streaming IN the

The Blind.

There was most gratifying exhibition of the
blind pupils from the Asylums Of Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, under the care of that excellent
good man, Dr. Howe, in the hall Of the HOUSE, .ss
evening. Want of time prevents us giving the de-
tails we had intended Suffice it, that the young
ladies sang divinely-they read from the Bible. and
other books, with remarkable distnctnesss and
sweetness Of enunciation-they gave US lessons in
geography; upon their peculiar maps-the young lads
and men entertained US with lessons in algebra,
grammar, instrumental music, &c. Laura Bridg-
man, the deaf and dumb and blind girl of Boston, of
whom Charles Dickens speaks 80 highly, was pre-
sent. A young lady read beautiful original poem
OF her own, on the occasion Of the visit Of these
poor, but well educated and intelligent blind young
people to Washington. Many beautiful articles Of
their workmanship such as fancy baskets reticules,
NC. To-day they visited the Presidents House. we
understand afterwards number OF them attended
the debates In the capitol; and this evening ihey
gave exhibition to the public at Carusi's saloon
We hope that the result OF these exhibitions will be
more extended diffusion TO the blind Of the great
benefits which these poor children have received.
