PocAHoNTAs' DESCENDANTS.
The Famous Boiling FamiIy-Deaf and
Blind Exhibit.

Among the many interesting exhib-
its in Social Economy hall at the
jamestown exposition is the group of
historical pictures from the Virginia
school for the deaf and blind at Staun-
ton, Va. The group includes the like
nesSes of the members of the famous
Boiling family and represents the first
attempt in America at educating the
deaf. There are pictures of John and
Thomas Boiling. Jr., sixth in direct
line of descent from Pocahontas, the
daughter of Powhatan. Both were
deaf and were sent by their father,
Major Thomas Boiling. in 1TII5. to the
Braidwood school at Edinburgh, Scot
land. OF the latter the Richmond En-
quirer of Feb. Is, 1886, jim an obituary
notice, says of Thomas Boiling, Jr.:
placed at an early age under the tu-
ition of the celebrated Braidwood of
Edinburgh, his naturally fine under
standing was rapidly developed. He
read with pleasure, composed and
wrote in a peculiar yet clear and
graphic style. Polished and graceful!

and wonder of strangers and the de-
light of an extensive connection and
friends"
His hearing brother, Colonel William
Boiling, in letter dated Dec. 10
1S41, thus alludes to his brothers
speech: Thomas requirements were
most extraordinary. His articulation
was SO perfect that his family, his
friends and the servants understood
him in conversation or in reading
aloud as well as they could any per
son, and he possessed the faculty OF
modulating his voice from low whis
per to loud call"
Another picture is that of Colone
William, who had twochildren who wers
deaf, and he employed a Mr.. Braid
| wood, grandson of the founder of tn,
Edenburg school, to come to Americs
| to instruct the two children at Boil
ing hall, Goochland county, Va. Thii

The subject is one of particular in
terest here, not only because of the
fact that it directly concerns Rock Is
land as a river city, but because the
river improvement is directed from
this city. The question is one with
which Rock Island people are more or
less familiar, it having been frequently
discussed here. and was one of the i'm
