TRUSTED BY WHITE MEN.
A Negro's Long Record of Fidelity rs
Collector for n Memphis
Bank.

The northerner who is forever harp
ing upon the manner in which the ne
gro is kept down in the south might
open his eyes in wonder at the many
eases in which the negroes have been
faithful in their services for many years
to their employers, says the Memphis
Scimitar, and, as a reward, hold posi-
tons of trust and are esteemed as hon
est as any man by the white people who
know them. They are not put on
social equality with white people, but
their station in life, is far above that
which the northerner sets as the rank
of the negro in the south.
A fair illustration of this is to be
had in the case of Prince A. Danuel,
who for &c years has been in the EN-
ploy of the First national bank of Mem
phis. Danuel secured a position with
the bank in 1871 as porter, and, after
proving his efficiency and integrity,
was given the work of collecting 10 do.
Never in all the time OF his service has
he failed to account for every cent of
money intrusted to him. His collec-
blO1S are always uduG dCCuTditly, I'D
fact, he has yet to make his first mis-
take in a money transaction.
In executing his duties at the bank
vast sums of money are handled by him,
and the money is as safe in his hands
as is the meat in the care of Il butchers
dog.
So we'll is Danuel thought of by his
employers that not long ago the bank
gave him trip to the north, his rail
read fare and all travelling expenses to
Chicago, Washington and other large
cities being betrayed by the bank. The
president of the bank gave him a let
ter of introduction to all of the banks
in the cities he went to. This letter
made him welcome visitor wherever
he went. lie was looked upon as a kind
Of wonder, the idea of a negro holding
a, position OF trust in the south being
before that considered out of the ques
ton.

UNMIXABLE BABIES.
Their Names Written Adhesive
Plaster and Stuck on
Their Backs.

There viii be no Pinafore business OF
mixing the babies up" in the obstet-
rical ward of the Johns Hopkins hos
pital, says the Baltimore Sun, if the
physicians and attendants in charge
can prevent it. Usually there are from
one to two dozen newborn babies in
the ward and to the inexperienced eye
they all look much alike. Even those
accustomed to handle them sometimes
have to look closely for distinguishing
features or marks on the mites Of hui
mainly. When the nurses are being
changed frequently in the course of
their duties, the difficulties are in
creased of readily telling one baby
from another. The doctors have hit
upon a happy solution of the difficulty.
Each baby is tagged and ii is tagged
in a unique way. On small square of
adhesive plaster is written the baby's
name. This plaster tag is then stuck
tightly on the Daby's back just between
the shoulder blades. The tag is water
proof, so il is not affected by the baths
given the baby. 1t holds en- tightly I'M
til the time comes for the baby and its
mother to leave the hospital, when the
tag may be readily pulled off without
causing The baby any pain.
Some persons have thought that the
tagging was necessary TO distinguish
white from eolored babies, but the
physicians say that this is not the case.
While all born babies are red they
say the babies of white parents are a
pinkish color, while the slightest mix
tur Of negro blood will give an u mis-
taxable reddish tipge to the baby's
skin, in addition to The other charac-
teristics of the ruce.

that they can he in no way .distin-
guished from the men. Something
must be done TO reduce the terrible
mortality of officers experienced in the
first two fights in Natal Ia reality the
high percentage Of officers killed is due
TO the fact that they must OF necessity
expose themselves more than the men
under their command. and with the
enormous amount Of lead poured into
an advancing force by the modern mag
azine rife the officers, who are stand
ing up to direct their men, run n ire
mcndous risk Of being hit. In small
skirmishes, however, IL is possible that
the good rife shots on either side can
pick their men carefully. so that the
absence Of distinctive mark may
prove to be Of value TO officers. In any
case, there can be no harm in making
the experiment of arming them with
rifles, though in the long run their
losses are not likely to decrease to any
extent.
It is one Of the myths of war that
the enemy pick off officers, just as it is
n common legend that the enemy,

any other infdel, is in the habit of aim
