GEN. Washington and the negro

| Many persons in Boston and Vicinity
can remember colored man of the name
o. Primus Hall. He had good deal of
natural intelligence, has amassed a COM
| Portable property by his industry, and was
always active In his efforts to promote ed
ucation among the colored people of that
city.
During the war of the Revolution he
was the servant of Col. Pickering, who
was an intimate and confidential friend of
Gen. Washington. This circumstance
brought Primus Hall into frequent rela-
tions with the Commander. in. Chief. He
had a great fund of anecdotes concerning
him, which he was fond of relating. One
of them conveys lesson which may not
be without some usefulness at the present
time. Z
Gen. Washington often held consulta.
tions concerning military matters with
Col. Pickering. His headquarters were
at considerable distance from. his friends
teat, and one evening, finding they were
likely to be occupied till late hour, he
proposed to remain all night with the Col
onel, providing there was-a spare blanket
and straw. Primus was appealed to, and,
being eager to oblige the Commander-in-
Chief, that worthy stretched the truth by
replying,
"Pleuty Of straw and blankets; plenty"
Two humble beds were prepared, side
by side, and when the long conference was
ended the two officers lay down to rest
Primus pretended to be busy until they
were asleep, and then he seated himself
on box, leaning his head on his hands,
10 faC L
comfortable position would allow. 5
In the night Washington awoke ard
saw his humble friend nodding on his
box. He called out, "Primus J" The
servant, starting to his feet and rubbing
his eyes, exclaimed,
= "What do you wish for, General 2"
t'You sold me you had plenty of straw
and blankets" replied Washington Gbus
| see you sitting up all night for the sake
of giving me your bed p b15
"Don't trouble yourself about me, Gen
eral," rejoined the negro. "No matter
about me-"
"But it Is matter" said Washington.
"This will never do, Primus. If either of
us must sit up, l will take my turn. But
there is 20 need of that The blanket is
with me.
Primus, who reverenced the Comman-
der-in-Chief as he did no other mortal,
protested against such an arrangement
but Washington threw open the blanket
and said, in decided tone,
"Come and lie down, l tell you! There
is room enough for both, and insist
upon it."
The tone was too Tesolute to admit of
further parley, and the General and his
colored friend slept comfortably under the
same blanket till morning.
