Won the inUentor of sheep, Mr.. Blackwell? p "
II was so. We had ourselves remarked the
bright, gay, intelligent look of these children,
with great satisfaction and it is our belief, that
this school is, next to the preaching of the Cos
mel the most efficient agency now in being in
his civ. for the elevation of colored females,
rendering them the objects of respect and con-
edence. 1t is impossible that these girls should
not be more useful to themselves and to socie-
,y. for all the sacrifices made by the patrons of
the school, and for the devoted labors of Miss
Miner and her beautiful assistant. Indeed, we
REGARD these ladies as missionaries, and as
worthy of all homage and support as if they
were aboring on the coast of Africa, or at the
Cape of Good Hope, instead of the open spaces
bordering upon our great city. Nor do we deem
this saving enough; for we doubt not that it is
work of more sacrifice, of greater selfdenial,
requiring stronger faith, to labor for the erea
lion of a superior class of colored females in
the CITY of Washington, than it is to be teach
