A Brave Nurse.

'tSister Mary Theresel When scarce
ly 20 years old you were wounded ON
the battle field OF Balaklava while de-
voting yourself to the care Of the
wounded. At Magenta you were
again wounded in the front line OF
battle. After that you nursed our
warriors in Syria, in China and in
Mexico. At the battle Of Reichshofen
you were carried from the field amid
heap of slain cuirassiers. Later on
bombshell fell in the midst of the ambu-
lance committed to your care. You
Immediately seized it and carried it
some eighty yards awaysrom the ambu-
lance, where it fell to the ground and
by its explosion wounded you serious
ly. After you had recovered you fol-
lowed your vocation here to Tonkin. +"
In such remarkable words did the
governor Of Tonkin, surrounded by
his staff, in front of all the troops adj
dress the Superioress of the Sisters of
Mercy. He then babe her kneel down,
and touching her shoulder thrice
with his sword, added: I'm the name

farmers are planting cotton.
Corn looks well, considering the
wet season, wheat looks q little yell
low, oats is fine, corn half thigh
high.
Some of the Tennessee boys came
out few days ago and are well
pleased with Texas. Wages are
high, from SIS to SO per month,

shows them their own sins.
