GARiBALDI. Mis Carcer as an Adventurer, Soldicr and Pairiot. Guiseppe (Joseph) Garibaldi was born at Nice, then part of the kingdom of Sardinia, on the 22d of July, 1807. His father had been a ship- Owner, but reverses had compelied him to earn & livelihood as a sailor, and to this fact may be attributed the roaming disposition afterward manifested by his second son, Guiseppe. At the ‘age of 12 years young Garibaidi ran away from echool and embarked in a boat, with a few com- Ppanions of his own age, with the intention of Visiting Genoa and the Levant; but bis father ‘went in pursuit of the fugitives, overtook them when only off Monaco, and brought them back to Nice. At 16 years of age Guiseppe Garibaldi shipped as a salior ina vessel bound for Odesra, ubsequent ited, in a similar capacity, oa, Constantinople, Gibral- Z, 4 Black sea port.

He was con prisoner to Spezzia, where his wound was tended to by the most skilful of Italian cians, and also by an English surgeon sent out for the purpose." His services in the cause of Italian independence being taken into considera- tion, Garibaldi was pardoned and allowed to re- | tarn to Caprera. In the spring of 1964 he visited England, where he received tremendous ova- tions, and was entertained af the expense lord mayor and city of London. But he greatly disappointed his hosts by suddenly announcing his intention to return to Caprera, whither he was at once conducted by the e and Duchess of Sutherland in their yacht. In the Italo-Austrian war of 1866, Garibaldi again came to the fore. He engaged with the enemy in tie Tyrol, and on the 2d of July suf- fered’a defeat which necessitated his retiring | apon the Soro. His reverses were retrieved, and he was about to again advance, when the | war was declared at an end. But the events of the following year—i867—again brought the “Hermit of Caprera,” ever spoiling for the fray, once more to the fore, yet In @ manner that proved disastrous to him. The Pope, for whom he was formerly so anxious to fight, had fallen under his displeasure, aud Garibaldi was anx- jous to punish On the “Roman question” | the Italian government was singularly reticent, although the settlement of It in favor of Victor Emmanuel was all that wasn to com- piete the unitication of Italy. Garibaldi agi- | tated a solution of this kind, and, without con- sulting the Italian government, openly organ- ized an invasion of the papal states. But the government was determined to suppress this. GARIBALDI WAS ARRESTED by order of Minister Ratazzi, imprisoned at Ales- sandria, but afterward released to Caprera, in | the neighborhood of which a man-of-war was stationed in order to prevent his escape. This vigilance, however, was of no avail. Garibaldi j escaped on the 14th of October, proceeded to Florence. harangued the populace and started on the 22d to join the insurgent bands—which had been created by his agitation—on the Ro- man frontier. Four days later he, at the head of four battalions, defeated the pontifical troops at Monte Rotundo; but, on the 4th of the follow- ing mocth, ‘the Garibaldians again met the papal troops, then reinforced by a portion of the French expeditionary corps, at whose hands hey this time received a iy and crushing defeat. At Figtina. Garipaldi was once more made a prisoner, while on his way to Caprera. He was taken to the fortress of Varignano, near Spezzia. Mazzini and the revolutionary party, known as “Young italy,” clamored for his re- lease, which he himself demanded on the ground of his being—so he alleged—an American citi- zen. It was, however, rather on account of his splendid services to Italy. than to any other exuse, to which he was indebted for free- dom. hen the news of the capitulation of Napo- leon at Sedan reached Garibaldi, he hastened to France and placed his sword at the disposal of the French government. This action created no small surprise, from the fact that he had so often declared that he could not tolerate that country, which had thwarted him In his at- tempts ‘on Rome, and inst which he had fought so bitterly throughout his first Italian campaign. The command of the army of the Vosges was intrusted to him, and great expec- tations were formed of the success of the troops under hie charge. But Garibaldi did little or nothing in the field, while his conduct to the clergy and the inmates of the conventual es- tablishments he chanced to fall in with excited Uttle better than a feeling of disgust, in the minds of ull respectable persons, against a man who had hitherto shown himself to be as gen- erous as brave. In recognition rather of what he represented he wished to do for France than what he actually did, Garibaldi was at the close of the campaign elected a deputy of the na- jonal assembly for Paris and several of the departments: but the general, seeing the feel- against him, refused the honor, and re- ned his commission in the army, giving no other reason for the step than that he “loved the republic, but hated the clergy.” In 1874 it was announced that Garibaldi, who | Was then engrossed with his farm at Caprera, vas in indigent circumstances. Assistance from all parts of Europe and the United States was at once fortheoming, some of which he dectinet and some of which he accepted, among the lat- ter being a national gift voted by the French chambers. At the commencement of 1875 Gari- baldi was elected a member of the Italian par- |liament, and consequently emerged from his island Some and took his seat amid INDESCRIBAPLE ENTHUSIASM. Less than a year later the itaiiaa government unanimously voted him 100,000 lira—$20,000— | which was handed to him by Sig. Depretis in the y | Rame of the king and of the nation. The principal acts of Garibaldi’s parliamentary career have been his scheme for purifying and refertilizing the Sardinian yalleys, which he first | conceived duriny his enforced confinement from | the wound received at Aspromonte, and for car- 'S- | rying out which he had frequently endeavored to obtain funds from parliament and private in- dividuals alike. He proposed to apply the same method of drainage to the Pontine marshes, also, and to shorten the passaze up the Tiber by means of canals. which he considered would be also a safeguard against the inundations to which the country bordering the river is so Hable. Garibaldi’s character 2s soldier car easily be Judged. Europe has rarely seen so brave a eee ewes ponalred to see a free and united Italy, in place of ty kingdoms at va- | riance with one peee harassed by their more powerful neighbors; and he lived to see the desire of his heart. Upon the ease with which he showed himself capable of turning a foe into an ally, and vice versa, various construc- tions may be placed; but those who knew him best attributed this solely to his desire for Italy’s welfare; and this was possibly the real motive. Perhaps he was of Victor Hugo’s opinion, that ing his services to the Sardinian generals at the outbreak of the Austro-ltalien war of . he “the best way ot becoming a patriot for an Italian, to love France, a fora po A tls was permitted to « a corps of volunteers huown as the ~ and was din anuel to op- yof Lake Mag- This step met with considerable opposi- vereome which the King had to order fi nd military authorities to assist Gari. baidi to their utmost, under heavy penalties im case of retusal, in procuring necessaries for his nd even te ald him in recruit- i ibeldi engaged at Brescia, Magenta, Monte- mo and otier places, generally ess whieh enabled him to lend m lermo with shouts of mz ive Italy and Victor Emmanuel.” and, efter four days’ pg and skirmishing, he—to use his own words—dis- self of 2,000 enemies without ed his camp outside that city ening of the 26th of May. *To-mor- row I willenter Paiermo or die,” were his words to his troops, aud. after a 15 hours’ battle 2 the following day, Palermo was his, the Neapolitan flag on the citadel gaye place to the Italian standard, and the garrison was filled 's red-shirted volunteers.

Naples Bow belonged to Victor Emmanuel, who had so long and ardently coveted If, and, when the of the house of Savoy was ‘met by the Garibaldians on their way to Gaeta, he was saluted for the first time ap “King of Italy.” When peace was estab Garibaldi looked—perhaps not unnagurally—for some kind of recognition from the country he had served so well. But none came—the advisers of Vietor Emmanuel, = of Garibaldi’s feats of e arg king to withhold honors from hidden from the outer world till July 26, 1862. In the meanwhile he had kept himeelf weil ausseurs, 17,000 strong, | to love Italy.” In politics he was a democrat. republican—so much of each as to keep in constant fear and trembling the king of the country he was so instrumental in unifying. In | later years he became an enemy of that church, | Whose power he returned to Europe from Rio Grande to support. It may almost be said that | he was an enemy of churches in general. But | the characteristics of the life of the dis- tinguished soldier are said to have been of the | highest and purest; and the causes of the fainily dissensions in'which he was of late years involved, and which brought his name so invid- lously before the tribunals of Rome, are stated by the best authorities to have been attributable rather to the faults of others than to those of Guiseppe Garibaldi. During the past few months he had been in poor health, due more, however, to the feeble- | ess of old age than fo any marked or distin- ; Zuishable malady. On the 28th of January last | the cable transmitted the news that his condi- | tlon was so weak and feeble that his death was even then hourly expected. He rallied, how- ever, and was not considered to be in imme- diate danger of death, until suddenly attacked by the disease which brought his long and eventful career to a close. Made His Meuth Water.

Sun. “Have the flower-seed sellers reaped an out- ward and visible result of the inward and spirit- ual esthetic love for sunflowezs and lilies?” two “Sir!” both ejaculated. “Have the florists made money by selling sun- flower seeds and Illy bulbs since the coming of Oscar Wilde?” “We have sold about five times as many sun- flower seeds this year as we did last year,” an- swered one of the dealers. ‘For several years there has been a general movement to re-estab- lish in public favor such old flowers as used to grow wild—chrysanthemums, they are the com- mon daisies, you know. The demand for sun- flower seeds ‘came on us quite suddenly. The | they sales have been made mostly over the counter this spring to persons who live in the suburbs of New York, or in good-sized cities on principal railroads. Next year the demand will come in from as far west as the Mississippi river, and not until two years from now will the rage get to the Rocky mountains.” “Who buy them?” “Wealthy persons almost entirely, who own pretty little villas with lawns and gardens about them. When the sales first began to in- crease the purchasers would laugh and get a little red in the face and look guilty when ask- ing for them; but now, bless you, they are quite brazen about talking over the different species of the flower.” “Which of the species is most affected?” “The flower is a native of Peru, and six va- rieties are known—the Californian sunflower. five feet high, with blossoms extra large and double; the Globosus fistulosus six feet high, with flowers very large and globular in shape, and the petals of a bright rich saftron color; the Macrophyllus giganteus, six feet high, pyramidal im growth; the Oculatis viridis, five feet high: with a densely double flower with a green center; the Oscar Wilde, the botanical name of which ts janthus pyramidalis us nanus. I will translate that. Helianthus means sunflower, idaixs stands for pyramidal in growth, floriundus signities abounding in flowers, and nanus denotes dwarf. So you have the name, a dwarf sunflower, pyramidal in growth and sell 3 in flowers. It is a hy- brid, and a Newport florist discovered it in his garden last suinmer, where other varieties of the annual were growing. The flower is quite small, only three or four inches in diameter, anda single bloom has been and is now very fashionable at Newport for a corsage flower. That isthe moct fashionable sunflower. The name made it sell like hot cakes. It’sa pretty flower, too, for a sunflower. “The least fashionablesunflower is that which is the most usetul, one I have not named, the mammoth Russian variety, and it will be fash- jonable in farmers’ back gardens after fashion- able persons have given them the go-by. It is a profitable plant, for it yields 50 to 100 bushels of seed to an acre, and for poultry it makes the best feed known. In the laying season feed your hens three times a week on sunflower seeds and you will see the best of results in eges. In cold weather the oil in which the seeds abound keep up animal heat in fowls. For show birds at country fairs a short diet of sunflower seeds gives the feathers an extra glossy coat, and a clean, bright look to the combs and gills. Another thing. I’veno doubt that when grown extensively ina marshy dis- trict they go far to ward off malaria, as they grow rapidly and absorb moisture which other- wise would evaporate and poison the air.” “Js there any truth in the popular supposi- tion that the sunflower turns itself continually toward the sun?” popular demand for the flower is that it makes a show, is it?” “Entirely so; alady the other day bought a large quantity through her gardener and in- tends to plant them between her house and the street in one of the suburbs of New York, and the plants will form a hedge 300 feet long. “Ts the demand for calla lilies so noticeable as that for sunflowers?” “It is not so noticeable, but the demand is large. But a very beautiful new calla that has Just been brought from England is to be popu- lar. It iscalled the Richardia hastala on ac- count of its shape.

He refers to the well-known fact, that sometimes the surface of these districts 1s com- pletely dry during the summer, but the pro- duction of malaria in them goes on just the same, provided they are kept moist below the surface by special conditions of the subsoil, and the alr can reach the moist strata by pores or crevices in the surface.

Montreal Correspondence of the Toronto Globe. A gentleman from New York, whose daughter had just completed her education in Paris, came to Montreal lately and left his daughter in a fashionable boarding-house while he temporarily returned to New York. The daughter, after falling in love, had a courtship of seven days with a young dry goods Godel and then the pair were married. The parent was apprised of the marriage and telegraphed legal authority to have the marriage set aside. ‘This could not be done, and now an angry man is coming this way from New York. Staid Montreal people are surprised at the of the courtship. Likely Yankees will be sur- prised if the divorce is not mmilarly brief. (eee A Possible Rival to Cinchona, During the last two or three years a bark con- taining quinine and quinidine has been obtained from Columbia in enormous quantities. The botanical source of this bark, which is known in commerce under the name of Cuprea Cinchona, on account of its peculiar coppery tint, has hitherto beens mystery. M. Triana, the well- known quinologist, has recently succeeded -in tracing It out, and has stated in the British Phar- maceutical ut Journal for April 22, that it is derived in great measure from two species of the nearly | allied genus Remijia, nene of the members of which were previously known to contain qui- nine. Several species of Remijia have leaves resembling those of the true Cinchonas, and, of these M. ‘Triana has determined that R. Purdie- ana, Wedd., and R. lunculata, Karsten, cer- tainly yield Cuprea the former being the species which contains the alkaloid Cinchona- mine recently discovered by M. Arnaud.

The color of the hair depends partly on the presence of pig- ment granules, and partly on the existence of minute alr spaces, which cause it to ‘appear dark by transmittea light. In Albinos and gray-haired persons this coloring matter is smply absent.” “Is it the case that hair may, from extreme fright or other strong emotions turn white, as is said, in a single night?” “It is an undoubted fact. Just how the change takes place isa matter for conjecture, but it may perhaps be explained bysome chemi- cal action upon the olly coloring matter. This oily matter would be withdrawn from the hair under conditions of cold, debility, or insufti- cient food.” “Does gray hair then become dead?” “Not by any means. The loss of vitality does not necessarily follow the loss of color, for gray hair often grows vigorously. For that matter hair will grow after the y's death. One of the causes of premature baldness and grayness is tightly fitting and unyielding hats.” “Are any of the thousand and one prepara- tions for restoring the hair of any value?” “Tonics and stimulating applications are sometimes beneficial. When the hair is thin and falls out easily, shaving the scalp will often produce a thicker, firmer, and darker growth.” ——_____see__ Gentlemen’s Fashions, From the N.Y. Herald, June 4. But few changes have been made in the style of gentlemen’s garments since the openings in early spring. The newest design for a sack suit for summer wear is the “rolled” sult. The coat is made with collar rolled back and thrown open. The corners are slightly cut away and the gar- ment is of medium length and outlines the figure loosely. The vest is lower than usual, having but four buttons, and is cut Lobe ad around, being a trifle shorter than older de- signs. Trousers are cut pely, club men wear- ing them from sixteen to seventeen inches around knee and foot. In the sack suits the entire sult is usually of the same material throughout, fancy suitings in light tints being the preference of most young men. A vest or trousers in @ different color may be worn with the suit to give Ga. but is not considered in good taste with this style. Cutaway and frock suits are made of fancy cassimere. In solid colors the preference is for olive brown and bottle green. The most select color at present is iron gray. The corkscrew or thea goods Is the first choice for these suits when coat, vest and are of the same Material, or the may be of a light rancy check or stripe. The silk vestings of quiet colored ground with figures in bright tints are also worn to give variety to these suits. The mixed Barathea gray will be much worn again for full cutaway and frock suits this season. The fancy vests are made short, straight across the bottom, with rolled or shawl collar, and are cut high, with six buttons. They are of silk, ces adeno Se ee ae ths pia are lots, spots, stars, checks and in mixed iene that are not conspicuous at first glance, but whioh, when examined. closely, are seen to be stars, crescents, comets and birds’ heads in one pattern, and in another a full rigged schooner placed at intervals between Japanese wave lines. FULL DRESS AND OVERCOATS. For morning, weddings and occasions where full dress 1s not required, the single-breasted frock sult of steel or iron gray worsted is the most worn. * For full dress the present fancy is for fine rib diagonals. They are made with the edges fin- ished with braid placed in a narrow silk cord on pockets, collar and edge of the vest, and the edges of the coat arebound ina fine cord stitched close to the edge. Trousers have the stripe of leieve at the side or not, according to indiyidual B. Suits of dark colors are bound with flat braid, and the coats are faced with silk of the same tints. All garmentsare bound or double stitched. hee pendency In light fancy suitingsis for double stitching.

If you'll look, you may find the rubber coat inside of the other now.” Mr. Spoopendyke growled and snorted his way to the closet, like a foghorn, and founa things as his wife had predicted. “Smart, ain’t ye!” he grumbled, as he hauled out the waterproof. ‘Great powers of induc- tive reasoning! Some T'm going to fit you up with a stiff neck and a pot of beans and start a Concord School of Philosophy with ou.” And with this threat Mr. Spoopendyke threw the coat over his arm, and all the way to Coney Island entertained his friend Specklewottle with a description of his habits of order, ‘“‘which are 80 perfect, sir, that I could put my thumb on anything { wanted, sir—if my wife would only let things alone! ——___++.—_____ National Surprises. It Is scarcely worth while to go over the incl- dents which preceded the Crimean campaigns. The successive acts by which the various com- batants then slipped into war were each re- garded by the opposing power as high-handed deeds which without warning or excuse broke treaties or agreements. The chief combatants were separated by too wide an expanse of sea and land; England and France were too little ready for war, for any very important act of aggression, to anticipate formal war, but many. acts were done which provoked in the assailed power as vehement an explosion of wrath as any seizure of a border fortress would have done. In 1859, when Austria and France went to war, movements of troops on either hand were alleged on both sides as the occasion for war, and as the moment at which the Austrian troops crossed the Ticino or the French entered Italy were questions deter- mined entirely by the cabinets respectively of Vienna and tiie ee is clear that either would have considered If justified in seizing a bor- der fortress with as little warning as was a0- tually given before the troops moved. It was, of course, of the very essence of all the move- ments by which Garibaldi created the Italian kingdom, that they were a series of successful surprises during time. The Austro- Prussian war of 1864 against Denmark commenced by a ‘federal execution,” which avoided the necessity of declaring war, and though the two wers had no mo- tive for milit ise, the principle of without ing warning was fully sanc- tioned by their action. In 1866, while Prince Frederick Charles accused At without giving her of self seized Hesse Cassel Leipsig and crossed the borders of Hanover before war was declared. The sudden disclosures, in 1870, of the secret treaty by which the Emperor Napoleon,through his agent, M. Benedetti, had been proposing to himself of Belgium, had surely not yet Beenten tten by Englishmen. From 1866down to 1870 the Emperor Napoleon, while nominally in warm alliance with Eogiand, had. been pro- posing, by an arrangement with Prussia, to seize and possess himself of Belgium, in defiance of all treaties with us, and with the clear un- derstanding that the seizure of Belgium was an act of war against ¥ azine. ————— o> —_____ Models for Artists.
