GENERAL GARIBALDI.
lat*r*alna KrmlniKrnrn *f lb* Italian
Patriot.
A prominent Italian resident of New
York who knew Oaribaldi well, having
sailed all over tho world with him, has
been giving some interesting reminis
sences of the dead patriot. Speaking
of the time when Garibaldi resided on
Staten Island, opposite New York, Mr.
Morosini, the gentleman referred to,
said:
"I afterward met Garibaldi on Staten
Island. He was then the guest of An
tonio Meucci, at Clifton, and of course
was living at his ease. Such a life
didn't satisfy Garibaldi, and one day ho
said: ' Come, let's do something.' The
only thing we could think of that
would pay was oandlo-making. We
bought a lot of molds and rigged up a
place in Mr, Meucoi's cellar for tbo
business. We also put in a boiler, and
then wo stmt to New York for a barrel
of tallow. The business flour
ished to such a degree that we
were finally obliged to hire a
man to help us. His name was Patrick
Fitzpatrick. Instead of one barrel we
bought three barrels at a time. I re
member very well how Garibaldi and
I, accompanied by Pat, used to go
down to the Yanderbilt landing and
wait for the boat to bring our barrels
of tallow. When the boat arrived we
lifted the barrels on to a car and rolled
them home. Candles at that time were
in great demand. Our customers
called them 'dips.'"
" How long did Garibaldi and your
self keep up this business ?"
"About a year. After that Garibaldi
was engaged as captain of the Peruvian
ship Carmen. He took mo along with
him, as I was a favorite with him. I
had received what is called a liberal
education, and Garibaldi had not. But
he was by nature a student, and his
knowledge surpassed by far that of the
majority of those who have had all
the advantages of a regular educa
tion. We made two vcyagea to China
in the Carmen. Although I was only
an able seaman before the mast, during
my off-watches Garibaldi used to invite
me into his cabin to play dominoes. I
was brought up, as I have told you, in
the Austrian naval academy, and 1
don't think I over saw a finer sailor than
Garibaldi was. He understood both
the science and the art of navigation.'*
"Was he as kind to the rest of the
crew as he was to you T
"He was kind to everybody, yet he
never flattered any one. In fact he sel
dom opened his mouth on any subject.
But bis looks and his acts spoke louder
than words. 1 don't believe there was
ever a man who served under him but
would have given up hia life for him.
"Garibaldi looked more like an
Englishman than an Italian. He was
short, broad-shouldered and mus
cular. He had a reddish beard
and a florid complexion. But
the most remarkable thing about
his personal appearance was the
leonine expression of hia faoe. His
nose ran straight down from his fore
head, there being no indenture between
the forehead and the bridge of the
nose such as is found in the great ma
jority of persons. When angry, the
resemblance of hia face to that of a
lion's vu still more marked.
Other people were always discnw
ing Oaribaldi'e battles in his presenoe,
but he seldom, if ever, had a word to
say. I remember one time when he got
ont of patience at the prattle of a group
of soldiers that we here sometimes call
the 'Home Guard.' Firing np, he ex
claimed: "Gentlemen, it is not bywords
that yon willever liberate your oountry;
it is this I' and he strnok ont a blow
from the shonlder that won Id almost
hare knocked down an ox."
" Was Garibaldi ever master of any
other vessel than the Oarmen f
" Oaribaldi was a sailor at the age of
aight years. At fifteen ha was captain
of a small vessel. While in this oountry
he was appointed captain of the ahip
Oommon wealth, in whioh I sailed with
him to Eogland and subsequently to
South America. I never can forget the
time when we went np to North Shields,
at the month of the Tyne, to take on
coal before sailing for Bonth America.
We were all barefooted, Garibaldi as
well as the rest of us. Bat the men
who brought the coal on board wore
shoes with soles nearly an inch thick
and fnll of hob nails. That was
the only time that I ever saw him show
any sign of fear. Each time that one
of those coal-carriers passed him Gari
baldi's bare toes wonld curl np and he
wcmld call out to me, saying, 'Nannf—
that was his nickname for Oiovanni—
' look ont for your toes.' Speaking of
his baring no fear recalls to my mind
many times when we seemed to be in
danger of going to the bottom oi the
sea. When a\erybody else was giving
np in despair I have seen Oaribaldi
going about as cool and collected as if
ho was at homo in his drawing-room."
"Garibaldi barely escaped being as
sassinated by two Frenchmen while we
were in Bonth America," continual Mr.
MoroelnL "We were at Oallao, ihPoru.
fl iribaldi was dining in a public house
(> ie of his companions asked him how
it vu that he vu enabled to defend
Rome against the invaaion of the French
army. In the oonrae of hia answer he
was interrnpted bj a Frenchman, who ex
claimed, 'That'a a lie,' and 'You're a liar.'
Garibaldi preserved hia temper. He
ascertained that the man who had in
sulted him kept a variety store in the
neighborhood. The next day he called
at the Btoro, accnsod the proprietor of
being a coward, and challenged him to
a fair fight. Both the proprietor and
bis partner seised weapons. Garibaldi
instinotivoly made a motion as if to
draw a revolver at which both
of the Frenohmon fled. There
were hundreds of Italians sailors
in the port, and the news tha
Garibaldi had boen threatened spread
among them like wildfire. In half an
hour the store of the two Frenohmen
had boen gutted and its contents scat
tered to the four winds. The two
Frenchmen would have boCn killed if
they had not concealed themselves. At
that time it was a dangerous thing to
stir up an Italian on tho subject of the
revolution."
Ilahj Monkeys.
Monkeys when first born are almost
as helpless as hnman infants. Bleeping
and looking abont and being nursed
occupy their first fortnight. The mother
is attentive, and at the first sound runs
away with her baby in her arms. At
tbo end of th first fortnight the little
one begins to get about by itself, but
always under its mother's watchful care.
She freqnently attempts to teach it to
do for itself; but never forgets her so
licitude for its safety, and at tho earliest
intimation of danger seizes it in her
arms and seeks a place of refnge.
When about six weeks old the baby
begins to need more substantial nutri
ment than milk, and is taught to pro
vide for himself. Its powers are
speedily developed, and in a few
weeks its agility is most surprising.
The mother's fondcess for her off
spring continues; sho devotes all her
care to its comfort and education, and
should it meet with an untimely end,
her grief is so intense as frequent ly to
cause her own death.
"The care whioh the females bestow
upon their offspring," says Dnvancel,
"is so tender and even refined that one
would almost be tempted to attribute
the sentiment to a ratimal rather than
an instinotive process. It is a curious
and interesting spectacle, whioh a little
prooaution has sometimes enabled me
to witness, to see these females carry
their young to the river, wash their
faces in spite of their childish outcries,
and altogether bestow upon their clean
liness a time and attention that in many
cases the ohildreu of our own species
might well envy."
M. d'Oibouville states that the
parents exercise their parental authority
over their children in a sort of judicial
and striotly impartial form. "The
young ones were seen to sport with one
soother in the presenoe of their mother,
who sat ready to give judgment and
punish misdemeanors. When any
one was found guilty of foul play or
malicious oonduot toward another of
the family, the parent interfered by
seizing the young oriminal by the tail,
whioh she held fast with one of her
paws till she boxed his ears with the
other."
All's Well That Ends Well.
" All's well that onds well" wonld be
a very appropriate title for a little ro
mance of real life whioh has ended
happily in Paris. The son of a rioh
gentleman residing in the Faubourg St.
Germain had fallen desperately in love
with a pretty, amiable, but dowerlesa
girL The course of true love ran
smoothly enongh so long as the young
man's father was not aware of what was
going forward ; bnt when his oonsent
to the marriage was ssked he flatly re
fused to give it A last meeting took
place, vows of eternal constancy were
interchanged, and the lovers separated.
The young lady, doeply affected by the
parting, took the rash determination
te drown herself and her sorrow in
the Seine, and about twilight one
day she oarried out her intention. A
gentleman walking along the quays
at the time saw her struggling in the
water, and without a moment's hesita
tion plunge lin to the rescue. The
would-be suicide was saved, but the
most curious part of ths story is that
the gentleman who saved her chanoed
to be the father of the man she loved.
The denouement of the affair oan be
easily guessed. The stern parent's in
flexible resolution to refuse his oonsent
to the union gave way under the emo
tion he felt at the drowning accident.
He oouveyed the poor girl home, sent
for his sos, told the delighted young
people that they were free to take each
other for better or worse, end that the
wedding might take plaoeas soon at the
young lady had recovered from the ef
fects of hor immersion in the river.

MEA-GULLN AND CBICEETH.

The Salt Lake (Utah) Jlrrald says :
There is no biped for which the old
farmer of this country has more gen
uine afTootion than the ntterly valueless
—in a marketable senso—sea-gull.
This rather pretty bird was quite abun
dant in this valley the present year—in
fact, it is Htated that only onco before
wore there so many. In tho fields a
few miles below the city, a week or two
ago, thousands of them oould be seen.
They followed the plowman along the
farrow and were almost as tame as
chickens. .Wliorover there was a newly
plowed field, there you could see the
gull, and as fast as a furrow was turned
up the birds would fly behind the
plowman and oommenco devouring the
insects which were thus exposed to
sight. They seemod perfeo tly fearless.
And thoy have good reason to be fear
less here, for the farmer looks upon
them as his friend, and they seem to
understand fully that he holds them in
that light. They fly all about him,
within three or four feet, and while
perhaps unwilling to submit to being
canght,tbcy will allow any other famil
iarity that can be practiced, for they
themselves will take a great many
good-natured liberties. They will not
touch grain, or anything that the
farmer desires should remain un
touched ; they only eat tho worms and
insects which are injurious to the soil
and to crops. Years ago a law was
passed, making it an offense to kill one
of these birds. The law is prjbably
yet on the statute books, hut it is liter
ally a dead letter, beoause there has
been no occasion to call tho law into
lifo. A farmer -in fact, any person
acquainted with the habits of the sea
gull—would almost think of wantonly
killing ono of his own chickens as of
intentionally harming ono of these
queer birds. As beforo stated, a law
was passed by tho legislature, making
it an offense to kill a sea-gull; it was
passed for this reason :
In the second year after the pioneers
had arrived here—in 1848—the large
black crickets common to these moun
tainous regions mado their appearance
in thia and some other valleys mclondt
—figuratively speaking. Tbej did not
fly, bat came hopping down the moun
tain-sideo in myriads. Bo vast were
their numbers the mountains were
black, and seemed literally alive with
the great big, black, ugly things, each
one about the sire of a large man's
thumb. It was at the time when the
crops were promising; everything looked
green; the fntnre outlook seemed
bright, and the heart of the sunbnrnt
and toil-worn pioneer grew lighter m
the prospects of a plentiful harvest
and greater comforts grew mom and
more tangible with each day's growth
of the heavy grain. Bat blacker than
the olonds of coal-black crickets which
came bopping down tho moun
tain slopes in oonntlees numbers,
leaving barrenness and desolation in
their wake, wero the clonds of despair
which filled the heart of the weary
husbandman as this new and nnlooked
for curse oame slowly bnt sorely toward
the pride, the joy and the promise of
the early settler—his field of waving
corn and grain. The foe wss ntterly
nnoonquerable so far as hnman efforts
were concerned; there was nothing the
heart-cick farmer oonld do bnt stand
idly by and see the labor of the season
destroyed. Children gased with wonder
and terror; women looked with eyee
fall of tears, and strong men watched
with hearts of despair. It was an awfnl
boar. Batlol a wonder I The sky is
filled with large birds; they fly toward
the scene of the dieaater, and they light
in the fields where the crickets hold
supreme sway. Then oomee a change.
At onoc the fl cks of birds begin to eat
the crickets. From morn till night they
continue, never oeaaiug. When filled
until they oan hold no more they vomit
up the black mass and again oontlnue
to eat the crickets. This is kept np day
after day, nntil not one of the devouring
host is seen; the crops are saved, and the
birds fly awsy. This bird srss the one
whieh oonld recently be ssen in the
fields, and whioh waa then more abund
ant than at any time since the event
above mentioned. It waa not surprising
that the pioneers should return thanks
to Qod for his succor, and that forever
after the sea-gull should be looked upon
as a dear friend, to be protected and
enoon raged.

LYNCH LAW IN COLORADO.

" I don't think the frontier ever wit
nessed a lynching so bold as that of
Betts and Browning," said Mr. Hiok
rnan, the receiver of the land offloe, at
Lake City, to a Denver Tribune repor
ter. "You will retnemlier the oaose.
Nhcriff Campbell attempted to arrest
the two men, you know, while they
were in the act of stealing some furni
ture from a house. lie was shot
and killed instantly—an assistant
who was with him identifying
the faces of the murderers by tho light
of a match which was struck when tho
demand for surrender was msde. The
murder wss committed on the 20th of
last month, tte day we were to have
celebrated the Odd Fellows' anniver
sary, The sheriff was the founder of
our lodge, and instead of a oelehration
we bad a funeral. A better fellow than
Campbell never lived. The mnrderers
wore the keepers of a dance hall. They
were arrested that moruing and pnt in
jail. Campbell's two brothers, who wore
mining at Pitkin, eighty tlve miles awuy,
were telegraphed to come to Lake City
to attend the funeral. That afternoon,
the 27th, a rumor was circulated in the
streets that thcrs would be a prayer"
moeting at the house of the deal
sheriff at 11 o'clock. I had not the
slightest suspicion of tho intention,
and was smong the 100 men or more
who oongregated near the premises.
I was not there long before 1 had
learned tho purpoeo of the advertise
ment, and was not slow in washing my
bands in the affair. The men had met
to lynch the mnrderers. The plan was
given ont boldly, and as bolJly exe
cuted, as the next day when i arose the
information I received before I had
reached tho breakfast table was that the
lifeless bodies of the two men were
hanging fmm the cross beam of tho
Gunnison river bridge, below tho city."
" Did you hear how the vigilant*
proceeded ?"
"From tho gossip whioh was circula.
ted after the excitement and precau
tion had died out, I believe that at least
100 men were in tho lynching party. I
will tell you the occurrence as I framed
it from mixed reports. From the
'prayer meeting* the vigilants went to
the jail. The guards, apparently, of
fered no resistance, and Betts and
Browning were taken out. The hands
were first bound to their sides. Borne
of the representative church members
of theoommnnity are said to have been
in the throng who demanded the eye
for an eye and the tooth for a
tooth. Ido not know how trae that
was. Well, while the men were being
bound, one of them asked if
there was not a friend in the crowd. A
young gambler who hal been a fre
quenter of the dance ball, and a friend
to the doomed men, ahonted that he
was a friend, and made a break toward
the prisoners. Homebody plaoed the
cold muue of a pistol against the aide
of his hrai and told him to akip the
town inatanter. I believe that the inci
dent was a true bill, because the oou
rageous yonth was not seen ft) the city
until a week later. Everything waa
done quietly, dispassionately. The two
mon were marched down the Qunnison
road after midnight Neither of them
weakened, even when the bridge was
reached and the cruel nooses were
plaoed about their necks. An effort was
made to save Browning, many insisting
that he did not fire the fatal shot and
should not be lynched for oomplidty in
the marder. Browning wonld have
been tamed loose bad it not been for
the fact that he said he wonld be
avenged upon the witness of the mur
der. When he made this threat he was
deemed a better man dead than alive,
aa everybody knew that, althongh a
quiet man, he was desperate. Just as
the hanging bee waa ended, and, I un
derstand it while the ropes were being
arranged for the pulling, the two Camp
bell brothers arrived at the aoene, hav
ing rode the eighty-five miles by buck
board and in the aaddle that day. The
murderers were asked if they had aught
to say, and both coolly replied that
they had not They were hanged to a
beam which crosses above from truss to
truss of the bridge. The bodies were
allowed !o dangle there until late in the
day. They ware planted, however, be
fore the remains of the sheriff were in
terred."
"Was there any indignation expressed
against the lynching f"
"Not the least. On the oontrarj, the
people all thought the set a good one,
and all that oould he hoard in the way
of oomment indicated a feeling of re
lief and satisfaction."
