Du ring the war with Spain Col. Bullanl ' commanded the Third Alirna iny volunteers, composed mlirely of negroes with thi exception of the reg imentil oftlcersV who w ere Southern white men. The ne gro volunteer is found to be a good natured, happy per son, who is not. worried by climatic discoqilorts. He is riot lazy, and works the bet ter for the judicious praise. As individuals negroes tiifle, but in' masses they are f ffl- cient. They era ve society," it is stated, "to sucn an ex tent that it becomes almost impossible to have sentinel duty 'properly discharged, The light heartedness and good humor makes the negro coinnlainer a rarity. The ne gro starts, too, with a prop er aprrei-iation of the respect due his commissioned officer; It seems to be inboru knowl edge, and as a generul thing he lit s up to bis disciplinary quality. He does not, how eyer, rradily len4 himself to the authority of thenon com missioned officer. A difficulty in punishing negro soldiers comes from their stubborn ness, and it is even necessary in order to make punishment effective, to have it carried out with the ridicule of Jcotn rades." On tht other hand the ne gro soldier, according to Co lonal Bullaid.is characteriz ed by certain common lack of honor." He thieves a good deal. ,,Ther is no spe cial rectitude in the observa tion ot financial obligations, and anv amount of falsifica tion is considered excusable in defeating au effort to col lect borrowed money; but th" negro is a good soldier, in the sense that lie is obedient, and a splendid fighter when he is under intrepid officers who are also disciplinarians. There is an irresistible pro pensity for carrying conceal ed weapons, and those iu au thority have found it almost impossible to break up this practice. Negroeh 'take sides' in any row of which they hap pen to be the obnerver; just as a certain frivolity is a pre dominant trait." There is no lack of courage, if the .leader is brave; the negro regular in Cuba showed . he would face an enemy. Upon , the whi.le the negro is considered to be better fitted for the subordi nation of the modern boldier than is his white brother. As Colonel Bullard sums it up: J By character more submis sive to discipline, by nature more good humored and hup py, from social position more subordirfate ;. to superiors, from poverty more used to plain food, fewer clothes nnd coin torts, the average, negro volunteer ciiines to the col ors with more of the first ur gently needetl qnalitiesof the soldier. and readier for sevice thun the white.'

Alx.ut sixteen years ago Dr. James a Bui toughs, of AMheville, was called profes sionally by auother physician to see a twelve year old boy and requested to amputate the leg. The boy had tubercu losis of the1 bone, rather a' pe culiar case, and he took the amputated limb to AshevUle for future examination and preserved the leg in alcohol. The family made ho objec tion, says the Asheyille Citi zen. In 1796, while the colored porter wasmovingsome med ical cases in Dr. Burroiigh's office, thecasecohtaining the leg was broken and the limb was then buried. In 1898, thirteen years after the am putation, Mr. "Miller called on the doctor and asked tb see his amputated leg. When told that under the circum stances his request could not be granted brought a suit a gainst Dr. Burroughs for five hundred dollars "for bis lace rated feelings to offset the mental anguish he sustained on account of the loss of the leg an dthe uncertainty as to the present whereabouts of said limb." The jury prompt ly decided that the ybung man, who had waited sixteen years to bring his suit, had not suffered 'laceration" of the kind that could be com pensated in this world. II the doctor bad kept the leg in alcohol, he would have been able to say to the plain t iff: " Here's your leg? I haye kept it good and sound nil these years tor you." But the accident compelled the burial of the leg, over which no monument was 'erected, and Mr. Miller felt mental an gulh because he foresaw thjit the lost leg when the angel Gabriel calls him forth on the Resurrection Day. That an guish, however, bas no-compensation this side of the grave, but St. Peter may be depended upon to make ev erything i ight for Mr. Miller if he is fortunate enough as to guin admission to the New Jerusalem. .
