with the design of embarking at Cesena
lice for Venice, which was still held by
the though besieged by
land and sea by a powerful, Austrian
force- The boats-hi which'they hail es
sayed Ibis perilous journey were small
and ovprcidwded, and the weather un
propitious. Resides, the swift cruisers
of Austria swept the sea, rendering cap
ture or destruction almost a certainty.
About two o’clock on a gl. omy, misty’
night, Ia»o in July. 1849. General Gari
baldi, his wife, and four or five of his as
sociates in the struggle for Italian liber
ty, went on hoaid one of these frail crafts,
and steered in the direction of beleaguer
ed Venice. The wife of Garibaldi was
suffering from a protracted disease, and
though she had to he carried most of the
way in her husband’s arms, she pleaded
so earnestly not to be left behind that
they couni not, refuse her, and such ac
coininodations were prepared for her as
the»r limited resources would allow.
. The wind was lair, and undercover of
the darkness the h- at-glided silently to
wards its destination. Bid when the
sun rose and the'mists cleared away, ii
revealed to their.anxious gaze two Aus
trian frigates in dangerous proximity.
The wind, too, had changed, mid they
were making hut little progress. . It was
hoped, however, that such a speck upon
the ocean would not attract attention;
ani us the sun rose higher and higher,
without apparent discovery, they begun
to regard their position us quite secured.'
But this illusion was soon broken. The
sound'Of a gun came booming over the
water,and its rumbling report hud scarce
ly, died away when the hostile vessels
changed their course, and the patriots
knew that they were pursued. It was
vow a rt ce for life. The wind, os before
staled, hud changed, am) was now*favora
ble to'theli* return, and they flew rapidly
toward the shore. Their pursuers, how
ever, gained steadily upon them; and.
when the r bout touched shore.the can
non shot were falling thickly among
them, ns the frigates discharged their
bioadsides at the escaping fugitives.
The poor suffering woman, who hod
grown 'rapidly worse under the danger
and escitenWnt, was tenderly lifted from
the rude bed which had been made for
her on the bottom of the boat* carried be
yond reach of the plunging shot, lan
guished a few hours, and then breathed
her last in the arms of iter husband.
A grave was hurriedly made in that
wilderness solitude? and as the dark
shadows of night. were creeping along
the shore, how scoured by the Austrian
soldiery, the loved form was laid to rest,
and Garibaldi had only time to drop a
few tears upon the-humble grave, ami
then went forth, a weary, hunted fugi-
tive.
.The history of this beautiful, gentle
and heroic woman, so full of adventure,
danger and toil, tier romantic life in South
America and tragic death-on the frontier
of betrayed and bleeding Paly, forms a
most interesting chapter in the history
of that long oppressed but now free peo
ple. Garibaldi was an enemy of oppres
sion from his earliest boyhood. When a
youth he made bis first visit to Rome,
and was soon drawn into the ihemher
ship of some of the secret republican so
cieties which were just then springing
Into existence. The spies of the govern
ment were not long in discovering these
revolutionary organizations, and its iron
hand came down upon them with sucli
force that they were crushed and scatter
ed ; and as young Garibaldi fled for life
through the gates of Rome, he read his
own sentence of death posted on the
city. But Providence hud a great work
for the young fugitive to perform in the
coming years, and the executioner pur
sued him in vain.
Thus deprived of the ability of aiding
his own countrymen in their aspirations
for freedom, he wandered for tome years
an exile, when the struggle between the
republicans of South America and the
governments of Brazil and Buenos Ayres
afforded him the first [opportunity of
drawing his sword in the cause of liber
ty, It was wjilleln this hard, dlscourag-'
Ing and perilous service that he first met
■the woman whose louely burlak wAimve
pre% lously described. Defeat and disas
ter had overtaken the . Utile fleet which
he commanded. Every one of his inti
mate personal friends bad perished by
shipwreck or in battle, and Ills great
heart wusheavy wiilrsorrow and despair.
To use his ow n words:
♦I was left in a stale of complete isola
tion, and felt alone In the world. Not
one of the friends of my heart remained.
And this change had been made In so
sudden and terrible a manner that it was
impossible to overcome the impressions
it had made upon my feelings. I felt
the want of some one to love mo, ami u
desire that such a one might bo very
soon supplied, as my present slate of
mind seemed insupportable.’
In tills frame of mind, Garibaldi arrlv-'
ed, with his shuttered vessel, at the Utile
town of Marluhosi In the province of

A KISS AT THE DOOR.
llJtollaajpiattgL
BY LAWRENCE LESLIE.
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY. JULY 7, 1870.
Lagua. One day, while sorrowfully pac
ing the deck, thinking of lost, friends and
blasted hopes, his attention was attract
ed by the sweet voice of a womart who
was singing oiio of the patriotic airs of
• the country. He: turned his eyes in the
direction from which the inspiring
strains came, and beheld a beautiful wo
man, of light, graceful figure, and upon
whose dark curls the suns of less .than
twenty summers had shone. For the
first time in his life Garibaldi was touch
ed with the ‘tender passion.’ By a pow
er or fascination which he seemed una
ble to resist, ho was drawn toward the
fair singer, Lowering a boat, ho was
rowed to the shore, and soon stood before
the lady a house, but dared not enter.—
After hours of search, he found an ac
quaintance who was known to the fami
ly; and through him he soon obtained
an invitation to take coffee at the house
of the young lady’s ourenta. A more in
timate acquaintance only increased the
regard her appearance first Inspired. In
a letter written to a gentleman in New
York, some years ago. he said : ‘I found
Hint tli© hidden treasure I had discover
ed was a gem of rare and inestimable
worth. But I have since reproached my
self for removing her from her peaceful
native retirement to scenes of danger,
toil, and suffering. X felt it deeply,
on that bitter day when, at the mouth of
the Po, within reach of the Austrian
shot, while still . hoping to restore her to
life, f took her pulse and was horrified to
find her a corpse. Then I sang the
hymn of despair, and prayed for forgive
ness; for the sin of .taking her from her
peaceful home stood more forcibly' before
me.’ ■ 1 •
Puoh was the first meeting of Anna
and the fuluie hero of Italy. They were
soon married ; ami from that time to her
tragic death, in 184 u, a period often years,
she followed her husband in ail of hie
campaigifa—slmrlnglhe tolsof the march,
(he dangers of the battle, the perils of
the camnohen pitched amid death-breed
ing marshes, fording rivers, crossing al
most impenelrah.e forests, or fighting by
Ida side, ever brave, hopeful and cheer
ful, aiding in. his arduous labors ami
comforting him in the hours of adversity
mid defeat. An excellent rider, she was
present In nearly every engagement, ral
lying and. encouraging the dispirited,
troops, carrying orders to a distant, part
of the field, or ministering to the wduud
ed nr dying men.
On the occasion of a battle near Carl
tihnni, she resisted every entreaty ol her
'husband to seek a place’ of safety, and
took upon herself the duty of serving out
the ammunition to the eoldlers. During
the heat of the combat, seeing a portion
of the line wavering and threatening to
break, she rode rapidly toward the col
umn, hoping to inspire the men with
fresh courage. Before reaching them,
however, they broke and. tied, and a de
tachment of the enemy's pursuing caval
]y closed around-her. Insensible to tear,
she refused to surrender, and spurring
her.horse forward, attempting to ride
through 4heir ranks. A voi|ey was tired
at her. and one hall went through her
hat, cutting off a look of her hair. Still
she pushed on, and had nearly passed
through their line, when another shot
killed her faithful horse; am! furtherex
ertion being impossible* she Was obliged
to surrender. The defeat of the republi
cans was most disastrous, and hardly a
man escaped. As darkness came on the
massacre ceased; ami Anna, believimr
that her ; huslmml had not survived the
slaughter, sought and obtained permis
sion to seek for his remains amid the
piles of dead and wounded that covered
the Held. Assisted by two of her coun
trymen who had been taken prisoners,
she pissed the night among, the dead,
looking for whut .aho bo <irca<io<l fluiJ,'
yet peering into the ghus ly faces f**r
-some mark of resemblance to him whom
slie sought. Stub she looked in, vuiu, and
at las* abandoned the search.
The next day the victors gave them
selves tip to the enjoyments of their trlr
nrhph; and, profiting by their inteinper
mice and lack of vigilance, Anna passed
out. of Uieir camp and disappeared in the
adjacent woods. It was sixty miles to
the nearest friendly camp, over a broken,
almost impassable wilderness, infested
with robbers and swarming with the
}-coutH of the eneiny. On foot, destitute
cf supplies .undefended, and without a
guide, the dauntless woman set out on
her perilous flight. Chance threw a
splendid horse In h«r way ; and mount
tug jt. she daubed away along the moun
tain pathway. A ten ible storm hud now
come on ; the night was pitchy dark,
and it was only by the aid of the frequent
flushes of lightning that she was enabled
to pick her way among‘the rocks and
ravines .and avoid instant deulh. On
reauliiiiK the Cauras River, she 4 found It
a roaring, maddened torrent, swollen by
the heavy to nearly a third of a
.mile in 'width.. Destitute ot a sad
dle, she dared not trust herself upon
her horse in the strong current, and
adopted the unromantio but'eater expedi
ent of clinging tirmly to his toil until
the dangerous pussuge'was effected, To
increase her misfortunes, she lost her
way,.and wandered about in the atorm
for three days before finding any of her
friends, and during the whole time alto
scarcely closed eyes in sleep, ami
subsisted entirely upon roots ami the
few indifferent fruits which she could
gather on the way.
Not long after this.her first child was
horn—Menottl Garibaldi, who subse
quently distinguished himself in the war
between Italy and Austria, and more re
cently did some gallant fighting in the
short hut disastrous campaign against
the Eternal (lity. When her babe was
but a few weeks old, she set r but'wlth her
husband and the republican army on a
long, weary, and disastrous retreat
through the forests and across the moun
tains of Brazil, carrying her babe in her
arms. On the march they were over
taken by a severe storm. Bhe, became
separated from her companions; and it
was only through the most indomitable
perseverance and heroism that she was
•enabled to save the life of herself and
child. It was during the dreary hours
she passed in that wilderness, divesiing
herself of almost every partible of cloth
ing to keep her babe from perishing,
that the seeds of that disease were plant
ed which a few years after claimed her
os Its victim.
In 1848, when the rallant followers of
Mozzlni were gathering around the stan
dard of Italian nationality, Garibaldi
hastened back to Ills native land to join
his fortunes with those of his struggling
countrymen The stirrlngeventsof 1849
followed ; and when the patriot leader
was shut up in Rome by the army of
France, bis faithful wife passed In dis
guise through General Oodlnot’s lines
am!joined hlm.renderlngefliolentaervh’o
in encouraging the weak and wavering
and nursing the wounded and sick. She
devoted herself to these unfoitunato men
with such earnest and untiring zeal, that
her health, already enfeebled, entirely
gave way; and when the final catastro
phe came, and the remnant of the patri
ot army passed out of the city in one di
rection, nsf the victorious French entered
it from.another, she was unable to walk,
and had to he.oarrledvln the arms of her
■ friends.. In,vain her'husband Insisted
that alio sho'rihl not Attempt bo perilous
and fatiguing a journey. But she beg
ged so earnestly to follow them, saying
that! f she must die she could not bear
the thought of. breathing her Inst under
the flag of the destroyers of Italian liber
ty, that Garibaldi yielded, and she set
out with them on that famous retreat.—
Her sufferings were acute; hut she bore
them bravely, gradually sinking, howev
er, until the fatal moment' when her
brave spirit was released from its sutler
lugs and passed to a happier land, Hhe
retained her consciousness almost to the
lust moment, sent loving messages to her
children ami other friends, ami .died,
calmly and peacefully, lu the arum of. her
husband.
Ten years ago, her remains were still
resting in the humble grave which first
received them, unmarked by any stone
or inscription : nOr up to that time hud
Garibaldi revisited the hallowed spot.—
For ten years the chainsof enslaved Italy
clanked above her grave; but then,
thunks to the arm upon which she had
leaned so trustingly in life, the day of
righteous vengeance came, and the. Aus
trians were scourged from the land they
hud so long oppressed and deluged with
blond-tind tears. Whether, since these
happier days have come for Italy, any
memorial has. been raised to perpetuate
the noble woman’s memory, we know
not. Nor does it matter. The solldeat
granite could not add to the immortality
of her fame, uor could sculptured mar

A case of this sort of eager intimacy
occurred in a pretty inland town not a

the young lady and her parents. Walks

most immediately, the true character ol
the “ handsome, agreeable, and intelli*
gentynung impi” came to light.. He was
a roue, a gambler, and had u wife in a

bigamy, and sentenced to Auburn State

But I ul-o hate to see girls die broken

been averted by mere womanly, sensible

A WINTER VIGIL
In the winter of 186—, It fell to my Jot
. to investigate one of thp moat touching
stories of £ white man’s endurance and
an Indian’s vengeance I overcame’across
in the whole Northwest. As some of the
more curb us portions of the official note
hook'Ofan Indian agent, I transcribe the
memoranda relating to it,
Albert Black was un honest English
gentleman, whose adventures in search
of fortune led. him away from Regent
strCeLXp wander In western wilds, and 0
this is (he way he “ put through” a por
tion of the winter of that year. He was'
residing with a single companion in a
little log cabin at the Indian village of
Bella Coola, on the coast of British Col
umbia. There was no white man nearer
than'ono hundred miles, but the villages
of many Indian tribes were situated in
the immedm'e vicinity! The wintei was
only half through ; few natives came
trading about the post, and us time lay
heavily on their hands, Black and his
companion resolved to go hunting for a
few days. A canoe was accordingly fitted
out witli a stock of provisions and ammu
nition, and with an Indian as steersman
and pilot, they proceeded to cruise-about
among Hie islands, novvand then landing
and stalking deer, or shooting the ducks
and wild which assembled in count
flocks by.the mouths of the northwestern
rivers in winter. The season was mild,
but with a thin coating of sh'hv on the
ground, so that each nlghtthey encamped
in the open air, and slept well wrapped
up in their blankets around'the blazing
log fire. Few old explorers in these coun
tries ever think of currying a tent with
them, and our hunters wore not pos>es-ed
of one, even hud .they cared to avail them- *
selves of Its shelter. y<> they’ had‘been
cruising about in tills manner for several
days, when, as usual, they encamped one i
nlghton nn ifdand, with the canoedrawn (
up on the bench. Thelr provisions they 1
built up am.und them, to guard them from
the attacks of any prowling- Indians or
other mishaps. Their. Indian pilot had
Informed them be was just about out.of (
powder and bullets, at the same time *
.begging In bo supplied with some ex,hi- i
biting liis pouch, which contained but
two charges. The hunters were too tired i
•to open their packages,and notwithstand- i
ihg his solicitations, they put him off mi- I
til morning! . They then, as usual, loaded I
their rifles, the Indian doing so also; and i
all three.men lay .down to sleep, and all
slept save one.
How long they slept Black could not
flay.butall that he remembered was being
awoke by the report of u rille. A low
scream, and then a moan by hia side, told
him that ah was over with ins companion.
Ttit Indian’s place was vacant 1 ,; and be
fore Black could fully become cona ious
of his situation, he was fired at froth the
dark.'and a bullet struck his thigh. He
attempted to rise, hut was unable ; his
leg was fractured Instantly he grasped
his revolver, and lie had scarcely dime
so, before he was conscious of a figure
crouching towards him In the darkness.
He immediately fired, but the shot did
not (akeeffect, and his w.ould-be murder,
er retreated behind some rocks. He now
staunched the. blood (lowing fr-un Iris
wound,’ as well as circumstances would
permit, tying a handkerchief around It.
At) doubt was mnv at. an end, and it was
apparent that the Indian 'guide, tempted
by the property, had murdered hia com
panion, ami was only prevented by want
of ammunition from despatching him
too. All night long—it seemed a year—
he kept awake, too excited to sleep, al
though lie was faint from loss of blood.
Sometimes lie would relapse into au un
easy sleep, from which lie would be atari
led by the barking of his little dog, when
h* would grasp his revolver, only to ecu
a figure again skulking into the darkness.
Daylight at lust came, and he had now
time to contemplate his situation. .Help
less, badly wounded, far from white men,
or even from friendly Indians, he was
alone, with an enemy watching every
moment to destroy him, as he had done
bis companion, who<e glassy eyes stared
up at him. Provisions enough were lying
scattered around ; but none were accessi
ble as food, save tne bag of sugar, and on
is Ids chief chance of.subsistence lay
He knew enough of science toknow that 4
Mugendie’s dogs, when fed on sugar, soon
giew emaciated, but he also knew that it
supported life fora time. Before night,
snow fell, and covered the dead body out
of his sight. Sometimes he would relapse
into a Imlf waking sleep, when again the
ever faithful dog, who seemed almost
conscious how math rs stood, would warn
him of tlie approach of Ids enemy. It
was in vain that Black attempted to get
a ah« t at and had it not been for the
watch fu In ess of his dog-friend, the wretch
must soon have been able to despatch
with his ludle the guardian whose trusty
revolver intervened between him and the
coveted property. And so they kept their
dreary vigils, and the snow fell heavily;
-and though his leg pained him exceed
ingly, he-managed to keep warm in his
blanketlined burrow. The Indian would
sometimes disappear for hours, and even
for a day, apparently looking alter food.
The poor hunter would then imagine that
tie had got clear of his blood-thirsty ene
my, when again tlie barking of Flora
would warn her master. Ou one or two
occasions the Indian- managed to come
within a few feet of ins Intended victim
before hia presence was delected; and us
both murderer and hunter were equally
intent ou each other's destruction, their
escapes were sometimes narrow. Several
days elapsed in this manner, until as last
the Indian seemed to have grown tired,
and lelt the island, in the canoe; for they
were no longer alarmed. The sugar bag
was getting nearly ein ty, and the poor
flog was now so weak with hunger, that. :
even when it did not absent itself in the
search of food on the shore, it was scarce
ly able t» give an alarm. If Black Could
survive hunger and his wound, which
was now very painful, the Indian, he
knew, would soon return to accomplish
Iris purpose. With such thoughts,. Mb
prospects were gloomy enough, and so
he dozed away the hours, half frozen and
faint. It was the tenth night (he tiad
long lost count of time, hut found so af
terwards,) since, the murderous attack,
when he was awoke by a loud talking
on the beach. ,
The moon, sailing over the leaden and
snowy sky,enabled him to recognize the
figures of several Indians hauling a canoe
on to the beach. Ho grasped his revolver,
determined to sell his life dearly, for lie
was now fully persuaded that it must be
hia murderer returned with assistance-
It was strange, however, it struck him,
that they had landed In such an exposed
situation. “ Who arc you?” he inquired,
in-the Chinook jargon—Upgrading lan
guage of the coast. A low, surpi ised cry
came from them. They were apparently
unaware of the presence ot any one but
Chemse ves. Again he shouted more
cheerily, and they approached him, when
he was delighted to recognize the famil
iar faces of several Bella Coola Indians—
old acquaintances of his. He told them
hia story; and as they listened ho uncov

Into a cry of horror. Food was prepared,
and every attention paid to him. The
dead body was bulled, and Black convey

carefully nursed, until news reached the
nearest white man’s abode. Thesolitory

he nroceeded Co soothe his affronted dig
nity by pronouncing a variegated anath
ema upon the . yuller dog, which hud
characteristically sneaked unobserved on
board, in the confusion of putting to sea,
and capsized the captain at the llrsl post'"
He cursed that dog in body, limit, back,,
hide, hair, tail and wag, ami all bis gen
erations, relations and kindred, by con
sanguinity of affinity, and his heirs and.
assigns. He cursed him with endless
hunger, with perpetual fear, with peren
nial laziness, with hopeiess mange, with
incessant ileus, and with his tail between
iis legs. He closed his stock of maledic
.iona by sparkling display of pyrotech
lics. from the demoralizing effect of
which the yuller dog has never recovered.
With this curse sticking.to, him like a
revenue stamp, the yuller dog can’t help
being ‘ cursed.’ He don’t try to help it.
He follows Nouh’a programme with
sneaking fidelity. He is an IshmuuHto
among dogs. He recedes the moat op
pressive courtesies in the form of brick
bats,'hoots and-hot water, which makes
his life an animated target excursion.
He. boards around like a district school

The.savages, who admire baked dog, and
who can even attack tripe and explore
the mysteries of hash without dismay,
acknowledge the' yuller dog to' bo too
much for their gastric intrepidity.
He always manages to belong to a
ragged, tobacco chewing, whisky drink
ing •muster, whose business is swapping
d-'gs and evading the dog lax. The
yalier dog is acquainted with himself and
he enjoys the intimacy With edifying
contempt. He slinks along through'life
on a diagonal dog trot, as if in doubt as
to which end of him in entitled to the
pieeedence. He is always pervaded by a
hang dog sense of guilt; and when retri
butive tinware is fastened to ids tail he
‘lliea from the wrath to come” with a
horrified celerity which ought to be very
suggestive to two-legged sinners of a
similar ordeal in store tor him.

A Friend of ours, who took a trip to
California, said that lie was not afiald of
the Indians because he belonged to the
Benevolent Order of Red Men, and knew
all the passwords and winks, and the
figurative language and tilings, and no
savage was going to touch him, initiated
and fixed up in regalia as lie was. He
hadn't gone more than a hundred mi es
from Omaha before a band of Indians
came at him and scooped him up. He
took the chief aside and whispered the
password in his ear and gave him the
grip twenty-six times cm both harms, and
made some observations about, ‘fifth

The chief 'replied in a fraternal manner
by tomahawking hup and Jabbing his
hulcher-Uni I'e into his vitals. Our friend
lemarked that these ceremonies were
not observed in his lodge; but Hie chief
wanted to show him all the peculiarities
