Robinson, known among hla comrades -of Company as "Ned," and admired and loved by them all for hla sterling qualities and manly He la only a lad of 17. but as Is a soldier every inch. When a boy of but 14 he became Identified with the old Fourth Battalion as a bugler.

He comes from a -family of soldiers, and the love for troops and army life waa handed down to him by bis father, the late Major yv. M. Robinson, once city editor of Picayune. The young bugler faithfully performed the, duties of his position wsd called upon to perform, and when the Pourth Battalion became a battalion of the Second Louisiana Regiment he begged for permission to be allowed to aevonrpany command. The necessary formal sanction of his enlistment wss granted, and Bugler Robinson went before the examining of fleer.

He passed perfectly, having already shown signs of the physical development which has been horned on by tne free'; open air life and regularity required of soldiers In camp. The sous of the semi-tropics have corned him brown, and the exercise hardened the muscles' of the youth, aa a result he is, at 17 years of age, a typical American soldier. When the. Second Regiment went Into camp at the Fair grounds the young bugler the honor of receiving a visit from Captain Steven Conner, of the Twenty-third Infantry, afterwards mentioned in General Arthus'a report for con-sptcuoos bravery at Manila. -Major Good-ale, also of the Twenty-third, served with Major Robinson- dnring the war- of the '60s.

and praised the youth for hi sol--dierly bearing. At Mobile, when the regiment was assigned to General Copplngers corps. Bugler Robtnsonwas made bugler of the provost guard, and made his quarters at the corps headquarters. When the regiment left Mobile, during the month of June, and "traveled down -to Miami; he accompanied them, and was among the very few who escaped-' from that never-to-be-forgotten camping ground without, paying tribute to its. reputation as a health resort with a serious Illness.

When the regiment reached Jacksonville the chief bugler left- on furlough, and young Robinson was left in command of the corps, numbering in all some twenty-four men. These men he was held accountable for. and they managed to give the young soldier considerable trouble, but he enforced discipline, and was praised for. his ability. The youth la such a typical soldier that officers have often noticed his presence and upon' his perfect appearance.

One evening not long ago he was seated upon the wide, comfort-able gallery, of the Windsor Hotel, in Jacksonville Major General" Fitahugb Lee and his family-were strolling along and young Robison rose' and came- to attention. The general stopped and asked the boy his name and regiment, and a number of other questions as to his home life, etc He was deeply Impressed and Introduced the lad to Mrs. Lee and the Misses Lee. Business required the general's presence, and he left the boy with Mrs. Lee, but extended him an Invitation to call again, and, with a father-like word or two, so- characteristic of the man, he turned away.
