her son, the soldier, supports on his arm

the trumpet sounds, the battalion is
drawn up beside the railway train. The
old woman clasps her son in her arms
with shudder which runs through her
frame. He tears himself away, and the
wretched mother drops, sobbing, in cor
nef. The bystanders are obliged to turn
their heads aside.
Now comes company of artillery
Hats are in the air, and hearty shouts

letting the heads of his rosary deliber

gives his benediction. There is no more
laughing, but a respectful bowling of

The First Meeting of Kossuth and
Garibaldi.

The New York Times has the follow
ing interesting communication
Every one has abserved and pondered
upon condolences. Kossuth and Garibal-
di, now so unexpectedly brought into CO.
operation upon the battle fields Of Europe
by the strange network of circumstances,
met for the first time at the International
dinner given by George N. Sanders in
London, 1854, to Mr.. Buchanan and the
European Republican leaders. How far
from seeming possibility then was their
present conjunction in the fierce eartH-
quake which is again rocking Europe,
and in which Napoleon III. is so mystic
riously an agent. The career of those
great men then seemed buried /; now it is
alive again. The memorable past links
itself to the present, and draws on q fu-
ture. In the tangling complications of
the hour, who shall prophesy its charac-
teri In the course of the splendid con-
yersation which flashed between the great
spirits gathered together on that unique
occasion, Kossuths eloquence became
the theme Of eulogy. Rising with mod.
est grace, Kossuth replied, ever elegant
and appropriate in the social hour as he is
grand and persuasive on public occasions.
At the close Of his response be exclaimed
with electric earnestness, " Gentlemen,
would you know what I think the most
speech Of modern times I" He
repeated in impressive tones the words
" Soldiers for the love you bear your
country offer you war, hunger, thirst,
cold and death. Who accepts the terms,

let him follow me-" There is the author,
waving his hand towards him whose In
trepid impetuosity now again rings
through the world. Garibaldi, taken by
surprise, was for few instants quite over
come withemotions, but he mastered him
self, and made beautiful and soldierly
reply.
Reused by this touching incident, tho
devoted Orsini followed in speech Of
characteristic passion and depth. More
resembling the ancient Athenian than his
Romantic ancestors, his emphatic but
chaste delivery recalled the great princi-
pie Of Dsmosthenic oratory-action. A
model of youthful manhood. with bril-
liant dark eye and fascinating smile,
Orsini, although he had already suffered
in loathsome dungeons, showed no trace
Of it in his face or person. He was R0-
meo, to captivate more fastidlous tuliets
than Shakespeare's heroine.
Two days after he left England--again
to dare Austria, again to be imprisoned.
again to escape-and that for the last
time. To his daring, and SO nearly sue
cessful attempt a year ago, upon Louis
Napoleons life, is greatly due the pres.
ent imperial movement in Italy. It was
then that the Emperor understood that
the betrayed Carbonari held against him
power that might at any time evade all
his police and defy his soldiery.
Sir Joshua Walmsey, NJ. r., President
of the Reform Association, represented at
the dinner, the English Liberal Party,
which now also touches its hour of tn.
umph, and sees the principles elevated to
the British Cabinet, in the persons Of the
classic Miner Gibson and the American
spirited and able Richard Golden, to
whose efforts our agricultural and com.
mercial interests owe so much--the suc-
cessful champion of cheap bread and free
ships.
Mr.. Buchanan, then the representative
OF this Government abroad, is now at the
head of it at home. In the noon of this
administration, now, before the close Of
it, he may be called upon to recognize as
heads of their own nations some Of the
brave men whom he then met as exAes.

ries are crowded into decades, imagina-
ton itself must strengthen its wings to
keep up in the fight.
Before parting that night, all gathered
into one circle once more. Mazzini took
the guitar, and striking chords with the
hand of master, accompanied the thrill
ing burst of patriotic songs. in which
Herzen, the Russian Republican, Wor-
cell, the Pole, Pulsky, Ledru Rollin-all

origion. In the Massachusetts Historical
Society collection there is coin with Q

land and Virginia. A crown surrounds
the whole, encircled with the word {" Vir.
ginia, 1773." A similar coin has since
been dug up, and brief statement of the
facts which these coins authenticate may
not be devoid of interest
During the usurpation of Cromwell,
Virginia declared herself independent OF
his authority, when the usurper threaten
ed to send fleet to reduce the colony.
Fearing to withstand such force the COL

Flanders, inviting the royal outcast to be
their King. lie accepted the invitation,
and on the very eve of embarking for his
new throne in America, was recalled to
the crown of England. In gratitude for
Virginia loyalty he quartered her coat of
arms with those of England, Scotland and
Ireland, as an independent member of the
British empire. The coin established
these facts. Hence the origion of the
phrase "Old Dominion"
The colonists of that period numbered
10000, and the Protector declared them
to be notorious robbers and traitors, pro-
hibiting by the authority all intercourse
with them. A feet was sent over under
Sir George Ayscue, to put down any ira
ces of monarchial authority still linger-
ing among the Virginia loyalsts. They
were firm to Charles and the Parliament,
declaring that they were born under a
monarch, and would never degenerate
from the condition of their birth by be-
itg subject to any other government

summoned him again to defy the repub-
lican forces of England, and restore roy

pened in March, 1862. Cromwell, how
ever, continued bis Governors until 1860,
when the last of them, Matthews, died,
and the people elected Sir William Berk-
ley, as the old record says, "by an obli-
ging violence compelled him to accept
the government"
He refused, however, to act under the
usurpation of the Cromwells, unless the
colonists pledged their lives and fortunes
for the British King, then in exile
With unanimous voice they told him
that they were ready to hazard. all things
for the King" The Virginians seem to
have been true loyalists, for this took
place, as we have noticed, actually before
the Kings return to England. Berkley
proclaimed !" Charles II. King Of Eag-

before he uas in England. Upon his

The Late Earthquake in South America.
DR.. Mauritus Wagner, the distinguish.
ed naturalist, who was an eye witness Of
the earthquake at Quito. on the 22nd Of
March, thus speaks of It
No pen can describe the scene Of ter.
ror, confusion and desolation which fol-
lowed that awful convulsion Of nature
A great part of the city, including the
churches and public buildings, was over
thrown in ruins. The same earthquake
was more severelySfelt to the north of
Quito, in the province of Turbabur, and
particularly in the environs Of the two
extinct volcanoes of Turbabur and Gotta
cachi. Twotowns, ten villages and more
than two hundred haciendas were almost
entirely destroyed. In April last. tray
elled over the theatre of the lamentable
devastation. The strongest shock was
suffered by the villages Of Cotaca chi,
San Pablo, and Perucho, which are now
but heaps Of broken and shapeless re-
mains. In the last named place, the
curate, with great part Of the inhabi-
tants. was buried alive under the ruins Of
the church. The earthquake spread al.
most from Popayan to Guayquail, an ex-
tension unprecedented in South America.

The "Gorilla."


The London Morning Post'describes a
peculiar geological novelty which has
been received at the British Museum,
and by the trustees of that institution,
loaned to The Crystal Palace for exibi-
ton. 1t is Specimen of the Gorilla,

the human species than any yet discov-

in the interior of Africa was struck by
seeing the natives worshipping what
seemed to be human skull, set on pole.
With some trouble the traveller gained
possession of the idol, and sent it to Lon
don to be examined by Professor Owen.
He read his views on he subject in an
interesting paper to the Geological Soci-
ETY., deciding that the animal to whom
the skull belonged, was not member of
any known family Of Chimpanzees or
monkeys, and that it was altogether un-
represented by any specimen of natural
history known to the scientific world. -
His drawings of the restored animal were
ridicnled by many as fancifu, but at last
they are confirmed, and the accuracy Of
scientific observation proved. An ami
