Buttle of Hull Hun In.lueed Miss tluru lliirton to Sturt Soviet}’. Miss Clara Barton, who has resigned the presidency of the American Bed Cross society, is in her seventy-fourth year and was a clerk in the pension bureau at Washington at the outbreak of the civil war. says the New York Herald. After the disastrous light at Bull Bun. in which the Sixth Massa chusetts—a regiment from her own state and in which she bad many friends—met with severe losses, Miss Barton hurried to the field of battle and aided in the care of the wounded. Realizing that an organization of some kind or other to nurse the wound ed soldiers was becoming daily more and more necessary, she organized a band of resolute women, whose names have gone down in history for their fortitude and courage during the four long years of the war. Inspired by her work for the wound ed soldiers and aided by the provisions if the Geneva conference in 1864, Miss Barton at the close of the war directed ill her efforts to the organization of he Bed Cross society and was elected ts first president in 1881. Since that time she has been actively engaged at the head of the members »f her society, which lias spread to the farthest corners of the globe, in the •are of the dead and wounded in war, famine and disasters of every descrip tion. In 1808 she added to her laurels and made the lot of the American soldier In Culm a more bearable one, and it is said that many of those who were wounded or taken sick during the Cuban campaign owed their lives to the careful nursing of Miss Clara Bar ton's Bed Cross baud of nurses, who iceompanied the army. STANLEY’S FINGER STORY. Afrien 11 IOx|ilorer*N Novel Fsperlenee Willi 11 IliMliiiKiiiMlieil Scientlnt. No better epitome of the late Sir Henry Morton Stanley’s career has been conceived than that given by him self in his “story of four lingers,” says the New York Tribune. On the Afri can explorer’s return from finding Liv ingstone, he said, lie had the honor of a public reception by the Royal Geo- graphi al society and the especial hon or of being presented “to an exceed ingly distinguished personage in the scientific world,” who regarded him with condescending favor and even went so far as to shake bands with him. “lie gave me,” said Stanley, “one linger!” After bis second and third adven tures, his explorations of the lakes and his opening of the Kongo to civ- Lizatiou, lie was again publicly re ceived, and this distinguished person age regarded him with even more fa vor than before. Again be shook hands with him. “He gave me two fingers!” Once more Stanley went to Africa to rescue the faithful Emin, and on his return he was a third time publicly re ceived. A third time the distinguished personage condescended to smile upon him, still more approvingly than be fore, and a third time to offer him bis band. “He gave me three fingers!” Yet once more Stanley appeared in public, with a fair companion. Miss Dorothy Tennant, who a few mo ments later was Lady Stanley. There, once more, the distinguished personage was present and so far condescended as to beam upon him with unreserved approval. “The throng was too great for me to get near him,” said Stanley, “but 1 have no doubt that bad I been able to do so be would once more nave offered me bis band, and on this occa sion lie would have given me all four fingers!” Society is sometimes dragged down to a low standard by one or two peo ple who propose, in every case, to fight everything and every idea of which they are not the instigators.
