were driven TO the X. A. Patterson to-

erected by Dr. Patterson and Mr. Is. h
Gwathmey, who led them into oneiOf the
large rooms. where the negro hands were
working. The northerners viewed the
sllllful operations of the cOlored people
with the greatest interest, anu were more
than delighted when several OF the EN-

thusiastic encOres to their songs. whicn
