Seven Blind Wonders.
rom the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
For several days past there has been a
remarkable family of negroes in Atlanta.
Their name is Williamson, and they came
from Wilson county, North Carolina.
There are three brothers and four sisters,
all Of whom have been totally blind from
their birth They are the children of
black parents who were slaves and ordinary
field hands Unto them were born four
teen children seven of whom had sight,
while seven were blind The blind children
were not only harder and healthier, but
their mental endowments are superior to
those of their brothers and sisters who
could see. They went to Raleigh to the
State Blind Asylum, and were there well
educated, Every one of them developed a
remarkable talent for music, and on leaving
the asylum organized themselves into a
concert company, and began to travel
through the South. The oldest brother
married smart negro woman, who acts as
guide and business manager of the party
They have been all over the South giving
entertainments, which have paid them hand.
somely They sing and play on variOu;
instruments with remarkable skill, Al Of
them have good voices, which have been
well trained. The most remarkable per
formances are the exhibitions of theil
powers of mimicry. They initiate a bras:
band so perfectly that person outside the
hall in which they are humming woult
almost invariably be deceived Their imi
tation of the organ is equally perfect
Each of the singers makes peculiar noise
and carries his or her own part of the per
formance, and the combined result is deeI
music, very like to the pealing of granC
organ. These are two of their many tricks
They are constantly adding to their roper
toire and perfecting themselves more anC
more in their curious arts They have ed
ucated the sense of touch to very re
markable degree By feeling of personi
face and head they can give an accurate
description of his or her appearance; anf
one of the sisters claims that she can tel
the color of the hair by touching it. Tht
seven will stand with joined hands, anC
any object can be placed in the hands o.
the older brother at the end Of the line
While he holds it, he claims that the
magnetic current which passes through
the entire line will enable any one of his
brothers and sisters to tell what he has
in his hand At any rate, some remarkable
guesses of this kind are made.

To the credit of Byrd Bryton it must be
written that he paid his wager like man,
and without grumbling. He had vague
suspicion that he had been outwitted,
though no conception how.
Years afterwards, when he had outgrown
boyish days, and the glass Of wine kindly
given him had produced good fruit, he
asked his wife how he came to lose.
