THE LAST LEAF.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, the man
who discovered u fountain of per-
petual mental youth, Is no more. To
all who know the bright and witty
writings Of the genial doctor-poet, It
Is hard to realize that the "Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table, had reached the
extreme aye of 50 years before the
brightness of his ever-youpg fancy was
quenched forever. Holmes was un-
questionably the best known Of living
American writer's al the time of his
death. He represented an older
school and without doubt a more
wholesome aud cheerful one than the
morbid pessiuiism aud vexatious meu-
tai botanizing of the race of writer's
which have grown up like rank weeds
from dunghill In the last age. lie
will not be remembered among the
giants of the world of letters. lie has
produced no one book or poem which
will affect the life OF tho world he left.
He cannot claim q place on those far
heights where Hawthorne and Poe sit
solitary and unapproachable on the
American Parnassns. His place on the
sacred mount is lower, but brighter.
Sunshine and cheerfulness surround
him, and not the mists aud clouds Of the
far off summit. His versatility was
wonderful. A man capable Of writ
ing three works so utterly diverse yet
excellent as "The Autocrat," "Elsie
Venner" aud "The Chsmbered Nauti-
lus" has left legacy Of genius that
will make the world bis debtor for
many an age to come. He is known
perhaps best as quaint and genial
humorist. Certainly throughout bis
writings there is fountain of humor
constantly scattering sparkling spray
over every scene, gay or sombre, that
bis peucil paints. But the fountain
sprung from his heart and there was
depth and truth and solemnity be-
meath lite glitter. His Is the record Of
life well lived, leaving world the
happier for his being. The nautilus
shell which be cleft outgrown by LIES
unrestlng sea" still shines with the
prismstic colors which made it beauti-
ful while it was being builded by the
soul that has sought statelier man
sion.

Petersburg succeeded in winning the
game from Roanoke yesterday afternoon
after an exciting struggle.
The game was an interesting and close
one from the start to the end Of the last
inning and was distinguished by heavy
hitting and close, sharp fielding on both
sides.
Roanoke started the run getting in the
second Crockett, the first man up, put
the sphere over the right field fence for
a home run. Ellis and Maginnis were
retired. Fitzmorris hit for double and
then Leach lost sight Of tho plate, send
ing Daniel, Cavanaugh and Boyd to
first on balls, forcing in Fitzmorris.
McGettigan retired the side by going
out, Farrell to Stafford.
The home team added three more in
the third, when, with Crockett and
Ellis on bases, Fitzmorris sent the ball
over the left field fence. IN the fifth
hits by Crockett and Keefer's wild throw
Melted another run.
The Magicisns' last tally was made in
the sixth, Cavanaugh led of with q
single, stole second, went to third on
Boyd's sacrifice and scored on McGetti-
gan's Iona fly to Sanford.
Petersburg also broke the Ice in the
second, and scored three runs on two
bases on balls, singles by Sanford and
Honeycu and errors by Cavanaugh
and McGettigan
In the fourth Farrell dropped one over
the fsnce for home run, and in the
fifth Ellis wild throw, q wild pitch and
Myers single sent another white stock
ing across the plate.
The visitors won the game in the
sixth when they found FitZmorris for
five safe hits, one OF them being three
Dagger. This, coupled with Mellow
eter's wild throw and q passed ball, gave
them four runs and q lead, which Roa-
noke could not overcome.
The feature of the game was the stick
work of Crockett and Fitzmorris. The
former had a home run and two singles
and the latter homo run and double.
The teams are very evenly matched
and orc of tho hardest fought games of
the season may be expected this after.
noon. The management have induced
the Roanoke Machine Works Band to
attend, and they will doubtless assist
the largest crowd of the season in
"rooting" for the homo team.
Following is the score:

RICHMOND, Aug. IA Covington
special to the Dispatch says: But two
moro speeches are to be made in the
Goodman murder case before it is com
mitted to the twelve men who upon the
law laid down by the court and the
evidence OF many Witnesses are to say
whether the conductor committed a
crime in taking the life Of Colonel
Parsons, and II 80 what punishment
shall be melted out to him.
Mr.. Craig, for the prosecution, and
Messrs. Crumn and Anderson, for tho
defense, have had their say. Now it
remains for Mr.. Parrish to make the
final plea for the prisoner at the bar,
and for Mr.. Allen, as commemorative
attorney, to close the argument on be-
half OF tho State and its laws. Each of
these gentlemen will consume several
hours, SO the case can hardly be sub
mitted before late on Saturday after.
noon, and, IL there is much delay in
reaching verdict, it cannot be gotten
in before Monday.
Everybody connected with the trial
Is anxious, however, to get through
this week, and they are hoping for the
best in this direction. Tho argument,
which was vigorous and able, at.

1t Is too early to look for effects of the

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Shanghai COR
respondent of the Central Nows says
that, by special decree, the Japanese
imperial government has authorized q
loan of $50, 900, 600.
The government has promised Admi-
raj Freemantle, who commands the
British squadron in Asiatic waters, to
give forty-eight hours notice in case
the Japanese fleet bombards Wei-hai-
wei or Chez Foo.
The eight vessels that passed Chez
Foo westward bound on August ID were
the Chinese fleet, which was fleeing
from the Japanese cruisers. The fleet
went to Lui Kung Tao, northwest of
Chico Foo, whore it has been left un-
disturbed by the Japanese.
