A DEVOTED NURSE.-The world has
still its heroines, if not its heroes. The
early Christian martyrs who calmly
yielded up their lives to wild beasts in
the arena rather than abandon their
faith were not more sublime in their
courage and self-saeriice than Minnie
Banner. the nurse who voluntarily
persisted with her patient in a hospital
at Cleveland Friday week. The prac
tical and selfish may consider her act
useless and foolish, but such supreme
devotion to duty as this stirs the uni
versal heart to sense of higher things
and stimulates humanity to nobler
ideals and efforts. The Cleveland nurse
deserves IA sacred place in the records
of self sacrifice as one of the noblest
and truest Of the heroines of history

For the SPECTATOR.

MELON.
o, The Georgia watermelon
Is nothing to compare
With the Old Virginia watermelon
That's eater everywhere.
o, in de early Spring-time
When de weather'S getting warm
And de barefoot boy is a-dropping
The black seeds in de hill o'corn
And when de corn begins to shoot
And de melon begins to run,
Den my mouth, it gets to watering
A-thlnking of de fun,
For desc Old Virginia watermelons
They have no better sense.
Than to run clear across de field
Where they are sure to climb de fence
And den de melon, he's so heavy,
And de vines so very slim,
Dat outen purest sympathy
I'm forced to take him in.

PATHETIC STORY OF THE DEAD
CARA pathetic story comes from
Russia about the last present received
by the Dowager Empress from the late
Gar Last summer the Gar and the
Empress visited a great shop in St.
Petersburg. The Empress admired a
beautiful bracelet, and told the Gar
she wished it. On their return he be-
came ill. and the Empress forgot the
bracelet. On her birthday. the 14th of
November, the Car had been wont to
place bouquet in the morning loom
of the Empress. Inside the flowers
was always folded some rich and rare
gift The Empress had avoided the
room, as too full of painful memories.
but on the morning of her sons we'd
ding day Nicholas requested her to go
there as a favor to him. The first
thing she saw was a bouquet in the
usual place, and inside the flowers was
case, fastened and sealed by the
Cars own hands. 1t contained the
bracelet. He had ordered it the same
day the Empress saw it, and on his
death bed had given instructions for
the birthday gift, bidding his son be
near to comfort her when she received
it,

CHINESE WIVES RULE.-The San
Francisco Call says: But in their own
home Chinese women appear to be
bosses. They are inst as good as their
husbands, and little better, too. The
women of the lower class do not work
in the fields. Conjugal disputes are
rare, for when they occur the wife
usually turns the husband out of doors.
The emancipation of women is carried
further in China than the most ad-
vanced woman's rights advocate hopes
for here. A man is bound to pay def
erence to his wife and to his mother;
it is true he may sell his daughters,
but that is only when they are young
and times are very hard. There never
was in China Smithfield market. at
which husband would sell his wife
with a rope round her neck, nor are
wife bearers common"

Home Building and Conveyance Com
pany against the city of Roanoke, set
ties very important question in re
gard to the rights OF corporation in
improving its thoroughfares and will
prove of much value to the city. The
suit was first brought in the Circuit

against the city on account of the en-
croa ;nment of the southern approach
TO the Randolph street bridge on the
lands of the company as well as other
injury to the property by the construc-
ton of the bridge. The Circuit Court
decided that the comOauy could not
recover damage on this account. and
this decision was affirmed by the Su
preMe Court OF Appeals Roanoke

Cruelty to Animals.

Mrs. Paret, wife of the Bishop of
Maryland, writes as follows to the edi-
tor of Our Dumb Aaaimals::
My dear Mr.. Angell:-Years ago
when young quite. saw. an act of
cruelty to a dumb animal, the remem-
brance of which has never left me. 1t
opened by eyes for the first time in nv
life to the fact that Gods dumb crea-
lures were very. very often subjected
to terrible cruelty, often through
thoughtlessness often. too, through the
hardness and weakedness of human
hearts. | was walking down road in
a country place when / noticed a cart
coming, yoke of oxen in front and a
man driving them. swearing at the poor
dumb brutes very dreadfully Then,
to my horror. he seized a pitch fork
and jammed it into the head of one of
the oxen For moment l almost faint
ed, then, with one bound of agony,
rushed up to the man. and bursting in
to tears l told him that he was not fit
to live, that God would surely punish
him for that dreadful act of cruelty /
could say no more. but | went to the
young girl to whom he was engaged to
be married and told her what saw.
EnouSn lor NE W say InaG sno never
married him. no doubt feeling, as did.
that such a cruel. wicked man would
never be kind to her or to any human
being; and that he had the mark of
Cain upon him." From that time for
ward / made up my mind that my
whole future life should be given, as
far as possible, to the protection of
Gods dumb animals, and to use all the
influence that possessed in the train
ing of the young in acts of gentlencss,
mercy and kindness to all those who
could not plead for themselves. Now,
thank God, have "Band of Mercy"
of one hundred and seventy souls. who
have pledged themselves to be merci-
full and kind to every living creature.
