The assistant baker has been
trying to impress the fact upon
the boys that he is one of the sons
of Ireland. His actions clearly
demonstrate that he belongs to
some other nationality. Every
morning, when he arrives at his
place of work, he can be seen tax
ing rubbers out of the back door,
examining old shoes, bones, pig
iron, etc. There is only one con-
clusion to arrive at as to his nat
ionality and we will let our readers
form their own opinions.

The officers of the Red Cross Society of
America in this city are perfecting the
plans for the reorganization of the body
upon a national basis and much has been
accomplished toward that end within the
past few weeks Circular letters describ-
ing the plan of reorganization and the
objects of such action have been sent to
ten days and many replies, which have
been without exception favorable TO the
plan, have been received.
The churches of different denominations
are the mediums through which ii is aimed
to perfect the national body, and the let
tiers have been sent to the principal
churches in the different States through
which the State and district branches will
be formed. Owing to the brief time since
the sending of the circulars replies from
all sections have not yet been received,
not be undertaken until the general sem
timent toward the plan has been learned.
Miss Clara Barton is at present visiting
friends in Connecticut, and she will prob
ably remain there until her presence is
desired in this city to assist in perfecting
the reorganization. Ii is Miss Barton's
intention to return to Cuba after the new
national society is well established, and
