Under the general title of Thoughts for the
Occasion" E. B. Treat & Co. publish two vol
umes OF somewhat different nature. One Of
them compiled by Franklin Noble, D. D., Ed
itor of The Treasury Magazine" is described in
its subtitle as reference manual Of historical
data and facts; helpful in suggesting themes
and in outlining addresses for the observance of
timely or special occasions" of the various fra
ternal and benevolent orders in the United
States The plan Of the book is to give brief
historical accounts of most OF the leading "or-
ders" such as the Masons, Knights Of Pythias,
Royal Arcanum and Odd Fellows, over sixty in
all followed in almost every case with extracts
from addresses press clippings, ETC., explanatory
of the functions and aims of the respective or
ganzations.
Enthusiastic members of these associations
who are anxious 10 advance themselves. or who
are called upon by official duties to address their
organizations, will doubtless find many sugges-
tions for speeches in these utterances and deliv-
erances And the objects of the various So
ceties are generally similar in character, the
thoughts of a legionary O. honor may easily be
adapted to At an occasionSn the proceedings of
<he followers of Tamina or of the Maltese
Knights
The other volume is designated its title
page Makers of the American Republic: "A
Series of Patriotic Lectures" The contents are
a collection of addresses on subjects connected
with early American history by David Gregg,
D. D., president Of Western Theological Semi
nary, Allegheny, Penn; the Hon. w. w. Goodrich
Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court, State
of New-York. and DR.. Sidney H. Carney, jr.
secretary of the New-York Historical Society.
In so far as the forensic efforts of others may
be Of assistance. and doubtless they often are,
TO oratorically inclined students. ministers and
statesmen. the publication of these speeches will
probably justify their appearance in their pres
ent form. They embody the results of consld-
erable research. and are, as the introduction
states, highly suggestive of history yet to be
written"

author in a thin. paper covered 16mo. gives an
formation of The Red Cross by Henri Dunant,

Still the little book is not without certain
excuse for appearing, if only to recall the be-
ginnings of the movement which has to-day at

travelling in Italy in 1859. and visited the battle
field Of Solferino Immediately after the conflict.
witnessing the awful sufferings of the wounded
soldiers who lay for days unattended on the
ground he organized with the assistance Of
several women, an amateur ambulance corps in
the town of Castiglione, succoring the injured
irrespective of nationality. He at once saw that
volunteers for such work. if properly drilled and
instructed in the handling of stretchers and
permanently organized and enjoying the privi-
leges Of absolute neutrality. would be of incal-
cuable value in future 1t was due solely
to his indefatigable efforts that his suggestion
was adopted by the civilized nations of the
world Like Miss Nightingale, to whose influ-
ence he pays. a generous tribute, NJ. Dunant
still lives to be cheered by the unhoped-for sue
cess of his early dreams.
