The Board of Officers of U.e Red Cross Society Is now in session In Ne-v York, conferring concerning the proposed plans of relief, and Is in correspondence wltb this com mittee. Culls have come to Miss tiara Barton for Red Cross service, and it is known that Miss Bar'o Is deeply concerned pexoially and de sires that the Anieman ISa.ioual Red Cross shall be utilized If it is thought that through its instrument ality the sufleiiog can be most enect imlly reached and relieved. Miss Barton says that the Turkish Gov ernment daring the Armenian relief work In lt95 accorded aid and she be lieves that tlie Red Cross may be of equal uselulneis In the present emer gency Ml-s Hartoj may go in per son. She says, "I may feel It my duty to go." The rules of the Brit isn Red Cro.- do not admit of relief movement except In case of actual war, and then only under military direction.

Wliile this was going on the North was very anxious, for lliey heard nothing of Sherman from the thue he left Atlanta and did not know uhal had become nf him and his army. Sherman marched on, and reached Sa vannali just before (.'lirislmas.

The news reached the President on the 'Jlt.h. mid preat was the rejoicing all over the North, and the people spent a very happy Christmas. Sherman and his army rested for n month hi Savan nah.

It is strange but highly commenda ble that no matter how desperately the men fought against each other, as wmii as one was wounded or disabled ull enmity ceased at once. From a Richmond newtvpaixT account of the battle of HI Kethel, near Fortrem Monroe, the following narrative Ls taken, telling of a touching incident: "Among those mortally wounded was a northern man.

"Flirhtlnr Joe Honklr," How Genera) Hooker got the sobri quet of "Fighting Joe Hooker" is said by Sidney V. Lowell, of Brooklyn, to have originated sr follows: "1 was reading proof on the New York Courier and Knipilrer and had been at work from 7 o'clock in the evening until 3 In the following morn ing. MoClellan had come Into con tact with the Confederate forces and was pressing them back toward Rich mond. Our press dispatches from the front, written with carbon on manifold sheets of tissue paper, told me of des perate fighting all along McClellan'n line. Among Ids corps commanders was (Jeneral Hooker, whose command had been perhaps too gravely engaged. JtiRt as the last page form of the Cou rier and Enquirer was made rpady for the press another dispatch came in from the front giving further particu lars of the fighting in which Hooker's corps W"R desperately engaged, and across the top of the dispatch was written 'Fighting Joe Hooker.' 1 knew that this line meant that the matter should be added to what bad gone before, but the compositor who put it In type knew nothing about the preceding matter, consequently he set the phrase as a headline, 'Fighting Joe Hooker.' Concluding that It made a good headline, I let It go. I realized that If a few other proofreaders treat ed the phrase as I did, Hooker would live and die as 'Fighting Joe Hooker." Knougli additional proofreaders acted likewise to do the business." Boy KciiTlit in the War.
