The Forest of Tontainebleau.

Fontainebleau has no conspicuous
charm. There are few noble trees.
The one of any excellence has a re-
freshment bar to celebrate it and fin
ger posts for miles around guide
you to the giant Jupiter. Jupiter is
indeed splendid relic, straight
column towering above the puny
moderns, 12 PAGES round the swell
ing roots, 6 yards in girth at the
height of a tall man. Between Bar
bizon and the road to Paris there is
tolerable glade of elms, but from
one end of the forest to the other
there is nothing comparable with
the oaks of suburban Epping or with
the beeches and oaks Of the New
Forest. There are no thickets, no
tangles of underground; the dill
gence of the administration keeps
the forest as clean as kitchen gar
den; the thriving young trees in
sedate regularity are as orderly as
regiment on parade; one imagines
each numbered and docketed in a
prodigious inventory. This bureau
cratic husbandry brings with it q
lamentable absence Of wild life.
There are no arenas purple with
bluebells, no banks of primroses OF
lush glades dappled with cowsips,
and animals are still rarer. In the
remotest parts of the New forest
the underwood creeps and rustles
with living things, the ground is
black with hurrying insects, the air
trembles with flashing wings, call
notes Of birds and beasts assail the
ears and every step from the beaten
track drives some creature from its
lair. Here the widest groves, which
the naturalist would expect to find
thronged with multitudinous life,
have the silence of an empty room.
Some malign enchantment has de-
populated the forest.-Saturday Re-
view.

CoLoRED TROOPS.
Those In the War Were Much Like Their
White Brethren.

Those In the War Were Much Like Their
White Brethren.
The qualities of the negro soldiers
were simply human, says writer
in the Washington Post. They were
capable of fatigue or ardor, of cow
ardice or courage, of grumbling or
cheerfulness, very much as white
soldiers would have been in their
place. If it is necessary to scruti-
nize more minutely, it is possible to
say that they we're moro enthusias-
tic under excitement and more east
ly depressed; more affectionate if
judiciously treated and more sullen
and dogged if discouraged; more
gregarious and less prone to indi-
vidual initiative-and so on with
many other minor differences. Yet
even these generalizations would be
met by so many scattered excep-
tions as to be of subordinate value.
Every regimental or even brigade
commander comes to know after
awhile who are the men in his COM
mand who covet danger, who are
the men who simply face it when
it is inevitable and who are the men
who need watching lest they actual
ly, finch. And all this is equally
true whether they be white or
black. 1.-TWO o'clock in the morning
courage, in Napoleon's phrase, is
thing that belongs to the minority
in every race, and it is probably no
more abundant, and yet no rarer,
among black soldiers than among
white.
Two peculiar traits of the black
troops grew out of their former
state of servitude. When serving
on their own soil, or even on soil
and under conditions resembling
their own, they had the great ad-
vantage of local knowledge. They
were not only ready to serve as
guides, but they were virtually their
own guides. They were serviceable
as Indian scouts are serviceable;
they could find their way in the
dark, guess at the position of an en-
emy, follow a trail, extract knowl-
edge from others of their own race,
and all this in a way no white man
could rival Enterprises from which
the bravest white man might shrink
unaided could sometimes be safely
transacted by black soldiers, or in
their company.
Again, they had to sustain them
the vast stakes Of personal freedom
and that Of their families. Say
what one pleases. they all desired
their freedom-I never encountered
an exception-and it gave them
peculiar stimulus apart from that Of
the white soldier. The latter had at
stake his flag, his nation, his COM
rades, his life; the black soldier, if
he had been slave, had all these
things risked upon the issue and
one thing more-his personal free
dom, with that of his household.
The negro regiments themselves
recognized this and had a feeling
that they were playing for higher
prizes than their white associates.
Let the Confederacy succeed. and
they would be remanded into slav-
cry, while the white soldiers would
simply lay down their arms and go
home. No one who did not serve
with them and have their confidence
could know the great strength Of
this feeling in their hearts.

II IS true that the course which Senior

The seventy-three discharges granted
recently embrace almost the complete

visit to the Fourth Virginia, in compli-
ance with the Governors request to Sc
cure from each captain the names of
those who were wanting discharges and
had good reasons therefor
Colonel Taylor said to-day: when the
Governor was here each man who really
deserved discharge was given an oppor-
tunity to secure it by presenting an APP
plication TO his captain, and / approved
all applications thus presented, nearly
all of which have been granted. Now, l
consider that unless 1t is a case of emer-
gency, there is no good reason for any
more discharges from this regiment.
- great many discharges were granted
from Washington to members of our
regiment without any good reason, and
the number in our regiment has been thus
depleted more than it otherwise would
have been"
