CHARITY" NURSERY.
While New York's private charities are
absolutely magnificent in their extent
and management, the public ones are as
miserable as thieving politieions can
make them This is the way a charity
nursery is managed, as shown by an in
vestigating committee: Five hundred
little children We're in a building in which
not only had the panes of glass disap-
peared, but tine sash was also gone, and
in one story of the building over two
hundred panes of glass were broken out
The cold wind filled every room, but
could not drive away the smell coming
from the bath rooms and closets. The
little children in the wards were general
ly huddled together at the lee side of one
of the beds, for the purpose of keeping
themselves warm. Their hands were
red and swollen, and their faces blue and
pinched with cold. The taxpayers have
payed ten times enough to have made
the building comfortable, but the money
was stolen, and the children are dying
four n day.

Fire Ensine TESTED.

Precisely at 10 O'Clock yesterday, the
thIrd-class steam fire engine, built by c.
Ahrens * Co, OF Cincinnati, for the city of
Chattanooga, was tested on the Public
Square, and the trial was witnessed by a
large number of citizens and strangers,
among whom was Col. Reese, Mayor Of
Columbia.
The engine is third class, weighs about
five thousand pounds, and is arranged to be
taken to fires by hand. In three minutes
she raised sixty pounds Of steam from cold
water, and in three minutes and thirty
seconds threw good five stream through
fifty feet Of hose. She threw two hundred
feet through J nozzel. Two lines Of h Sc
were then attached when she threw p inch
streams perpendicular to a great height.
During all the time a stiff breeze was blow
ing, preventing the stream from reaching a
greater height. Capt. StOckel, Chief Of
our Fire department, was present, and re-
marked that it was the best work he had
ever seen done by al engine 90 small, aud
under such circumstances.

A Verr Unfortunate nIIstake.

Some few days since a man walked into
the dwelling house of Louis Holmes, No.
- North Spruce street, ard quietly made
his way up stairs. Mr.. Holmes has a num-
Der Of gentlemen boarding with him, so the
fellow attracted no attention. as he went
along in a very uncOncerned way. One Of
the ladies living at the house saw he was a
stranger and accosted him as he came down
the steps to make his exit. Without be-
coming the least embarrassed he told her
he vas looking for the home Of a friend
and had made mistake in coming into the
house. With this he bid her good morning
and left. Il was afterwsrd discovered that
the trunk Of joseph Wamble, one of the
bOarders, had been broken open and Sl5
in money, half q dozen handkeTchiefs, set
Of studs and sleeye-buttoDs and sundry
other articles taken.

NashviIIe's Claims as a Market

In the Columbia Journal Of yesterday
we find The following clear, concise and
just statement Of Nashville's claims as the
distributing point for Middle Tennessee:
''The same motive which induces Us to
advise our citizens to extend patronage to
their own counties, induces us 10 advise
that we should sustain the merchants and
business men Of Nashville. Ii is the CAPT
tai Of the State, is nearer 10 us than any
other market, always accessible; and its
business men, in addition to being our
friends and neighbOrs, are safe and relIa-
ole, and will furnish goods, freight being
added, as cheaply as we can purchase from
more distant sellers. The growth and
prosperity OF Nashville is the growth and
prosperity, not only OF Middle Tennessee,
but Of the State, and we hape TO see our
capital city not only what it bids fair to be
now. the Athens of the South, but great
trade and commercial emporium"

OBITUARY..
I'm Memory OF the Late samuel Powers

When the tidings Of the death OF SAMUEL
Powers we're known, sorrow and grief prevailed
among his many friends and acquantances OF
Nashville Iii hard to realize the fact that one
50 kind and generous should be forever sepa-
rated from US. To say that he was charitable
would be to assert mere trulsm; his very heart
was replete with kindness and benevOlence. It
made no difference Of what religious persuasiOns
many might have been, he always ''fed the hun
grv and clothed the naked i remember the day
when many bleeding and WORKOUT Confederate
soldiers received assistance from him. That ven
erable-lOOking continuance, full Of animation,
viii never more be seen, for he now stands where
al Is a blessed Immortality. SAMUEL POWERS
was the great refulgont sun, shining with al its
luster, power and splendOr, among his country
men. MAY that proud edihce in life which he
has erected be ever sustained by his sons. May
the Omnip0tent Beng above be stah and
Shield to the bereaved family in this their hour
OF trouble. OsE WHO KEW HIM.

What the sssIsters of the Cross are
Doing.

Doing.
The noble, selEsacriticing nature of a
true woman is well known, and MANY elO-
uuent tributes have been written on the
subject. Few will ever forget the noble
work in Nashville Of the Sisters Of Charity
during the cholera epidemic, an6 the
martyrs' graves in Memphis, eloquent testi
monials to those who gave up their lives
during the yellow fever scOUrge. There
is something grand and sublime in the
Quiet way they work, ASKING no praise or
reward, but moving around quietly, and
performing their work in an humble and
transformations way, striving TO please only
their Father in Heaven.
In our city we have an organized society
called the Sisters of the Cross. This So
cietv is composed of some Of the leading
ladies Of the city-ladies of wealth and pO-
sition, who meet to see what can be done
for the poor and the distressed. Their
mission is to look in the novels, in the jails,
ont in the suburbs; no cot so humble, no gar
ret so high, no cellar so low that some Sister
Of the Cross may not climb up to or crawl
into, to give light to some poor soul in
darkness.
In this Society church distinctions are
ignored. as all meet TO work without regard
to sect. To hear the report of the Bible
Woman at one Of these meetings is to listen
to accounts of suffering and mis-
erv that make the heart bleed. Sun
dav-schools are organized, missions
are established, depOts for secondhand
clothing are formed, food is sent to some,
sewing and employment found for others,
homes are provided aud orphans and home
less children looked after; and all this
among the poor that never go to church,
and would never know anything Of religion
were IL not for these noble workers who
clean in the harvest field where the reapeTs
have passed by. Even down in the Jail
they hold religious services, and at the hos
pital they can be found at work. Wherever,
in fact, there is sickness or suffering, or
chance to comfort the afflicted, they 60 or
are sent.

Festival at st. Johns Chapel Last
Night

The ladies' Of st. Johns Ch-pel, West
Carroll street, gave an ice cream festival at
the chapel last night for the benefit Of the
church. It was a very pleasant entertain
ment and q success in a financial way.
Some Of the prettiest girls in that end Of
the city acted as walters at the tables, and
many Of the young men did not leave till
thew had spent their last nickel.
a charming young lady presided as Re
beccah at the Well, and was kept busy during
the entire evening attending to her patrons.
The "pOstofIice' afforded a fund of amuse-
ment and proved to be a paying institution.
Some excellent music was rendered by a
number Of Young ladies. James a. Mcclure
& Bro. kindly furnished a splendid piano
without charge. The hapel was tastefully
decorated with flowers and evsrgreens, and
presented a most pleasing appearance. The
festival will be repeated tonight, and the
attendance will no doubt be as large as the
laudabIe work Of the ladies merits.
