Negro Turning White.

The Lexington (Ky) Correspondence OF
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
A curiosity rarely witnessed In this
country was seen at the office OF tho
pension examiner IN this city to-day.
II was q negro man turning white. The
mans name IL Sam Smith. He is sixty
seven years old. and came here to-day
from Georgetown 10 stand an examina-
ton for a pension. he having served In
the Union army More than three
fourths Of the mans entire body IL

Of the ordinary white man. The dark
skin remaining on the body is only In
small spots. Smith says that his skin
began turning white in 1867, and the
dark skin has been disappearing from
the body ever since. The physicians
who examined him to-day think that
should the old man live few years
longer ne will be entirely white, save
perhaps his face. A peculiar feature Is
that the face has not been turning white
along with the rest OF the body. the white
only showing at a few places beneath
the hair on the forehead. and not on the
