Tho officers of tho Twcnty-flfth aro Justly proud of tholr men, nnd become ontluiRlnstlc whon questioned nbout tho fighting finalities of tho black soldier. This Is particu larly truo of tho gallant Colonel, who has been In command of this regiment for over id years. If any ono doubts tho valor of tho Negro soldier let hlin talk with Colonel McKlbben, nnd hear from his own lips tho many deeds of Lravory and heroism displayed by theso black defenders of tho Stars and Stripes. No mnn In civil or military Ufa has had a bettor opportunity to Htudy tho Negro character, not only nn a uoldlor but as a man ns well, than lias Colonol McKlbhon. Ho Is thoro foro competent to Rpcnk in an authorl tatlvo manner, and when ho declares thnn no finer .men or hotter soldiers can bo found In tho American army, lie pays tho Negro soldier n high com pliment, nnd In which tho race general ly feels a keen senso of prldo. Colonel McKlbben lins not voiced anything now relative to the lighting qualities of tho black man, but has moroly roltorntod that which every student of military science throughout tho civilised world has long slnco dis covered. Dut tho testimony of thli renowned and gallant soldier, whoso whole military llfo hns beon spent -with tho black regiment of tho United States army gives renewed hopo to tho Negroes, nnd deserves mnro thnn a patting comment at our hands. When tho ntmosphoro of this coun try shall hnvo becomo purified, and tho fumes nrlslng from that stagnnnt pool of projudlco and raco hatred shall hnvo .been wnftcd to other climes, or to tho fchoros of novormoro, then justice will 1)0 dono, and black men will bo prnlsnd for tholr dcods of valor on tho battle flold, as well nH honored for thelr'steil Ing worth as men nnd citizens. l'KKSIDKNT OK THK AFKO AMHUIGAN COUNCIL.

There Is senrcely n throne in Europe whose occupant Is not directly or Indi rectly related to the four little children who race In nnd out of tho big white stucco pnlaco In Solla, Bulgaria, or, ac companied by tho royal guards In scar let liveries and mounted on coal black horses, ride clattering up and down the wide, puved streets of the Bulgarian capital. The boys Boris, Prince of Tlrnova and heir to the throne, nnd his younger brother, Klrll, Prince of Preslav are beginning to ride horsebnek themselves; but tho little maids, dainty Prlnces Eudoxla and tiny Princess Nadezhdn, who was born only on tho day preced ing her mother's denth, occupy the roy al coach with their German nurse. While It Is snld tho Bulgarian peasnnt folks do not like Prince Ferdinnnd, whom they still count an aristocratic alien and responsible for the deficit In their treasury, they aro dovoted to thi.Kit children, born among them nnd Inheriting the sweet fnce nnd gentle, kindly wnys that endeared their moth er to them. She was always lovingly called "the Yellow Rose of Parma," nnd nt her death the entire nation mourned. Ah the children take their dally ride through the paradoxical city, whero old Turkish houses, with roofs tiled or cov ered with flattened out Russian kero sene cans, nre In sharp contrast to the flue new parliament house, tho nntlonal theater, whose name Is "T-nrs nnd Laughter," und other new state build ings, they bow right nnd left to all the peasant children, who return the salu tation with broad grins of delight und clumsy curtseys. Tho native Bulgarian children nro neither pretty nor graceful, but they nrn irond. solid, colllfortublc-lookltlg lit tle mortals. Thler high cheekbones mid rather obllquo eyes bespeak their 1' In nlsh orluln. nnd their propensity to quarrel with each other when flying their brown naner kites or playing ball tells of the wild Illyrlau blood of some of their ancestors. Even their language Is harsh and unmusical. Tljo femlnlno name Grace, In tho Bulgarian tongue, turns to Bluggerdot.. Tho ncnsnht girls are always baro- headed, their black hair pleated In tight plgtnlls, while tho boys have their hair cut square In the neck nnd wear clumsy blnck caps of nstrakan or sheepskin. Their stockings nre of home spun wool, knitted In guy stripes nnd never fastened up 'tight und trim. Most of them wear tho leathern sandals tied about their ankles, although some have adopted a heavy sort of brogan. All the clothing for the children Is woven by their mothers on tho native looms, nnd does not easily wear out. The boy have coarse trousers coming nearly to their ankles, and shapeless JacketH of tho name material; while the girls luno homespun dresses of blue, und aprons that look like strips of gay rag carpet. Tho contrast between these children of the people nnd tho little princesses In their pretty European dresses is, most noticeable to outsiders, but tho children themselves never seem to think of It. The prlicen, Boris and Klrll, nre now wearing the regular uni form of Bulgarian otllcers. New York Tribune. . A Perquisite of tho Hex. It wns at tho Wild West show.

When the broncho had ceased pawing the ground about the prostrate man and had hiked off Into the gloom they picked Solders up lusenslhlo and carried hlin uway. It was a blood-curdling scene. It scared the best girl so that sho grubbed the young man by tho hand and burled her hend on his shoulders, while ho supported her with his arm. When It was nil' over sho recovered her composure nnd blushlugly resumed her dignity. There was a tenso silence. At last It was broken by tho Hibernian gentleman, who, nudging tho young man. remarked In n stage whisper: "Say, lad, pray hlven thbt uuuthcr wnn nv thlm guys gits folred," "Have a cigar," whispered tho young iiiitu, with an understanding look In his eyes.

GREAT VARIETY IN THE. STYLES FOR THIS SEASON; " Review of Fnll Btyles that Aro Al ready on Exhibition Thin, Soft Cloths to lie Worn Late in tho Sea son Fashion Notes. New York correspondence: EVIEW of the fall styles already put forward discloses thnt pleats hnvo worked downward, for these advance gowns show pleat ed skirts In one form or another. The pleats limy be on the box order and go around the whole skirt, or may be side pleats nnd appear on the sides only. If the skirt Is plain, with a tlouuce, the lat ter usually Is pleat ed. In some exam ples the plents are carried up Into tho waist or coat, whichever tops the skirt, nnd this continuance of the skirt's lines to the upper portloh of the gown Is likely to be n marked characteristic of fall. In some cf these models the coat Is of the loose sack order Btich bb wns een early In the summer, nndagnln It Is of the well fitted-ln style. Pleats nre like ttrlpes, they ndd to the wearer's apparent height. It seeniv Impossible to overdo these tricks, for tail every woman should be to show current styles to advantage. Even vmull accessories of dress nro found to further this plan. Flat rallies with long ends thnt dangle down the front, pelerine col lars, capes that give sloping shnulJer effect, nil these suggest willowy figures "(.erpentlne" figures, ns they now nro called. Although Inst spring brought so many now tnllor gowns thnt It- seemed ns if styles must soon shift away from them, still the fnll disclosures hint of tailoring galore, nnd all of It ranking us high fash ionably as It did five mouths ago, ifaeket and skirt suits retalu their favor, but will differ from tin- spring output lu that most of them will show little trimming aIde from tucking and pleating. Nearly all jackets come below the wnUt line, or have postilion or basque finish. Bo leros are a trifle shorter In front than formerly, sud many have the basque ef fect, S.k'lfU are finished with straps of silk or cUtb, bands of passemcuterle, lu colors, black, white and eastern bleuds. Lace is little seen and then only the ery deep ecru tints of heavy quality. Appli cations of lace and heavy embroidery are used a little. Wool embroidery in vai rlous colors Is being employed, and is a vtry satisfactory trimming. Four samples of, early fall tailoring, are pictured here.' In the Initial Is a mauve cheviot, with collar and yoke of cream EARLY SAMPLES OF FALL TAILORING. STYLES DISCLOSED IN LATE-SUMMER DRESSES. lace, sleeve epaulettes snfl pleated ruffles of maUvo silk, and belt 'of mauve1 velvet. This jacket Is worth copying, or Jt will bear modification In some details and stilt stnud as a very stylish garment. At the left in the group of tnllormades Is a golden brown broadcloth finished with stitched straps of silk In the same shade, with revers, vest nnd cuffs of white silk figured In brown, these edged by brown velvet, and with brown silk cord and tiny gilt buttons for fastening. Beside this Is n pearl gray cashmere trimmed with white silk passementerie embroid ered In silver. Last conies an old blue canvas cloth, the skirt pleated nil around, the cont nppllqued with cream lace. Above the blnck velvet belt showed white silk cord ornaments and pleating. While this lace garniture Is. unquestionably handsome, It Is felt hat such embellish ment was overdone last spring, so much less ,of It Is expected. Oversklrts are shown on some of the new models, and In many gowns skirt and belt are cut In one. Oversklrts arc In points and trim med with silk bands or passementerie. Braid Is also used far trimming. In fact, ninny fall costumes will have braid trim ming In some form. Even medallions nro now made of very fine braid. One fashion disclosed In late summer dresses Is both pretty and sensible. It Includes In the costume a cape that really adds some warmth, or a coat of such un usual proportions as to suggest that It does so. There's n hint of economy In this, for thus the life of the gown is ex tended, but much of this Is nullified from the fact thnt neither cape nor coat Is in terchangeable. Thus do new fashions ever overcome the saving schomer. Two of these go wml, which are numerous ton- sideling that they are a late-In-the-scason development, show In the next Illustra tion. White nun's veiling was the fabric of the first, ruffles nnd lace trimmings of cape and skirt matching. Apple green pcau de sole was the fabric of the coat, whose fronts were white velvet .strap pod with black velvet. Besides being a bit longer than recent three-quarter Louis coats, these new ones nre much fuller, the waist part bloiistng all nround. Laco col lars arc usual with them, nnd the sleeves nre very baggy at the wrists. The al most plain, tight-fitting Louis coat is rarely seen. The skirt portion Is either plented, finished with applications of some kind or else trimmed with lace, brnld and velvet ribbon. Even If Lot pleated this skirt hangs full. Sun-pleated skirts to Lout coats are stunulng, the body showing like treatment. Cap? of the sort pictured are of silk or very, fine transparent cloths, sometimes being prac tically all lace or embroidery. They nre lined with white or some bright colored silk, the two-toued silks being especially pretty for lining. Capes coming nway below the waist, of all-over black or cream lace over white or delicate tinted satins, are seen, too. Elaborate dressing sacques are made up lu all the transparent materials. They aro very loose all arouud, low at the throat and trimmed with sailor collars or fichu scarfing. Lace Insertion, bands and medallions trim many, to. All have el bow sleeves with long lace ruffles, or with lace-trimmed ruffles of the material, flHARLKS A. .LUCAS, Attorney Mia Coin li selor-at-Law. Boom V29 Chamber of Com ) merco.
