this fever is a highly malignant Typhus modified
by climate, infectious in its character, but accom-
panied, in large majority of cases, by intense
jaundice, in this respect resembling Typhus Icte
rodes of systematic writers. 1t has come to only

proportion of twenty have proved fatal the remain

alike from every section of the city, and yet has
only occurred among the free blacks. Thus far it
has been much more grave among males than ie.
males, owing probably to Offences of habits and
occupations. The large majority of cases have
been fatal between the third and seventh day, and
in some instances they have dieu few minutes
after admission, and three days from the date of
seizure. This disease is by no means confined to
the worthless and abandoned, stated in several
of the daily papers, but has the contrary, fire.

industrious habits, whose means were adequate to

GOLD FIsH.-The gold fish, originally from
China, and hitherto chiefly known in ornamental
ponds and glass globes in this country, has become
quite naturalized in the Hudson river near New
burg. Fishermen have caught specimens from 8 to
10 inches long, both in the Hudson itself and in the
mouth of Metteawan creek, which empties itself

put into the creek about ten years ago, and they
have so multiplied as to fairly stock the creek and
river in the vicinity.
MAzZINI, THE ROMAN TRIUMvIR - Giuseppe
Uoseph) Mazzni is the son of all able medical pric-
litoner and professor in Genoa. He was born in
that town in The year 1909, and is, therefore,
in his fortieth year. He was educated for the law,
in the University of Genoa from his boyhoOd,
however, his constant and dominant idea has been
the distracted condition of his country, and to its
regeneration, more than twenty years in exile and
in prison, he has unswervingly devoted his genius.
Before he had finished his studies, he was arrested
on suspicion of being connected with Carbonarism;
and, though the judicial functionary before whom
he was brought declared that nothing proved
against him, he was carried off to fortress
distance from the town, and was only released in
order to be shipped of into exile. He then took up
his abode in Marseilles, where he became The fuun
der of La Gi0eine Italia, and conducted the jour
nal of that name devoted to the of the unity
and indie endence of Italy, and a republican form
of government. The rule of Louis Philippe did
not allow MazZini to remain long in France and,
though he succeeded in evadng the vigilance of
the police for about one year, during the whole of
which he never went out, except on Two occasions,
in disguise, and continued his Journal, which
easily distributed from Marseies into Italy. He
at length was obliged to fly, and in 1881 found
himself in Switzerland. There he organized the
expedition into Savoy, which failed through Ramo-
rino, TO whom the military command was given.
When the French revolution Of February, 1913,
broke out, MaZZini conceived that Paris was the
proper focus of action, and accordingly he went
there. He returned to England for short time,
and then, Lombardy having risen agains the Au-
s,rians he repaired to Milan, where he conducted

to entrust the defence of the city to him, the Au-
strians already at the gates, and nothing re-
manned to the inhabitants but flight. MaZZini took
refuge in the canton of Ticno, in Switzerland,
WHENCE shortly after the expedition into the Valde
1ntelir, he was again expelled.
Rome has now declared itself republic, and
MazziDi was at once elected Deputy to the Con-
stiIuent Assembly for the town of Leghorn, where
he landed and received with acclamatons
After spending some time at Florence, in attempt
ing to effect the fusion of Tuscany and Rome, he
at length repaired to Rome. From that moment he
became the leading spirit of The Roman Republic,
and is now one of the Triumvirate. Our last &C.
counts represent him animating the people to resist
the force of General Oudnot.
MaZZns ideas are conveyed in the motto OF the
Roman Republic, "Dio et Popuio," God and The
People.) He is well known to the English public,
through the notorety acquired by Sir James Ora
ham, in opening his letters nthe English Post
office, and communicating their contents to the
Austrian Government, which led To the death of
the noble hea rted brothers Bandera.

his forehead and eyes. All who fortunate
