The Colonel feels it a duty to condemn this act. which, if it did not ai'ise from madness, would prove cowardice. A man, and especially a man who has the honoui" to belong to the French army, should know better how to support with resignation the ills of life and to spare his blocd for the service of his country. The Colonel, therefore, orders that no soldier is to attend Private "Richer's funeral.'"
