At the Hampton (Va-) normal school, the
negroes in the school preponderate the IndL
ans, but the two races harmonic well; and
the Indians, while preserving tribe distinc-
tions and names. merge tribal hostilities into
race harmony. One OF the most strongly
markell differences between them Is their
choice Of studies. The negroes take enthusi-
astically % books, politics, teaching and
preaching, the favorite trades being carpsn
tering and dressmaking; the Indians spring
at the iron-working and farming, AMI cars
but little for books as books. They are
eager, however, TO learn to speak English,
for each one has come charged by his chiefs
to become middlemel between the white
and red. so fair play can be had, and the
new generations find a foothold against he
white tide that floods at morning and at
evening, knowing no ebb.
Another broad distinction between the
races lies in the Indians lack Of taste for
music and perception of rhythm. This was
singularly marked on the parade ground,
where the negroes absorbed the music like
air, and marched not TO, but with the tap of
the drum, while the Indians kept time only
by a close attention to their neighbors' heels
and the swaying touch Of their elbows. And
again, in the gymnasium, where the diplo-
mas were given, the negroes, under an eb-
ony leader with a voice like melodious thun-
der, sang as II inspired. How they enjoyed

seemed to animate them. and they swayed
and bent to every impulse; but in strange
and mournful contrast the silent Indians sat

In the way OF spring nmusements we have
had the great Redfern here this week, and II
there are any people 50 ignorant as 10 ask
who Redfern may be, 1t must be known that
he IS gown and habit maker" to the princess
OF Wales and all British swelldom. His ar
rival was heralded in long advertisements in
the papers and he sent out cards bearing the
great coat of arms OF England and the three
frnthers of the prince OF Wales. He as
sumed as many airs as Worth himself. and it
was amusing TO see a parlor full of ladies
waiting for an usher TO inform them in turn
that Mr.. Redfern wouli receive them
Within the sanctum were two young Eng
lishmen. who spoke with the most decided
accent, and the real Redfern himself wore a
badly fitting coat, and had a way Of pene-
trnting tho motives Of the idle sight-seers
and bowling them out that was refreshing.
All dresses, jackets, wraps and so-called
@Redfern ideas" were Of the heaviest clothes,
and when one woman asked ii he expected
her to wear broadcloth and blanket flannel
all the year round in this climate, the British
tailor significantly said that he could take
her MEASURE for u gown or lighter
weight material There was a book OF
ske ches in water colors showing models for
gowns but none OF them were works Of

trousseau exhibited any novel or striking
features. To those who seemed to have
heard Of him before Redfern was rather
gracious, but when some untutored soul
tried TO cross-question him and find out who
BIO made dresses for, or seemed to question
his certain promise Of making a gown"
without wr inkles, he crushed them with his
magniicence all at once.
His assertion that he made gowns for
every one, for all the world. =" was rather too
were not disposed to consider him such an
autocrat OF fashions as he set himself up for.
As tie rush increased and the cards kept
coming, poor Redfern took to planting him
self in the doorway and challenging each ar
rival with the significant question, ado you
want to order or be measured for a gown
Altogether it was quite as good as a comedy,
and the exhibition OF "Redfern IDEAS has
been quite the laughing topic of the week
IL was rather novel for some of these society
women to be actually snubbed by a British
tailor, after waiting his pleasure In a public
plrlor. and they did not at all relish the
way in which no doubled on tho London

LIKE Lear Wilde, he was quick enough to
see that the Americans can e imp1sel upon
