ARRIVAL OF a DISTINGUISHED ITALIAN Tile
5 F. Alta says: Col. Cipriani, one of the
most distinguished of the Italian patriots du-
ring the late war, and an intimate friend of
Garibaldi, arrived among the passengers by
the Sonora. 1t was announced in the Euro
pean news some three months ago, that Clip
riani would leave for America at the close of
the Italian war. lie was at one time Gov
ernor of Rome, and has filed a wide space in
the string events Whereabouts during the last
four years. His country can never forget
the great services he has rendered her Early
in 1919, Ciprani, seeing little TO hope for in
the cause of liberty for down tIodden Italy,
left his native land in company with Carl
baldi, and was with him in New y York for
some months In 1850 he came to Califor-
MIA, where he led farmers life until the
Crmean war gave some prospect Of an event
tul regeneration of Italy 10y means Of the in
creasing power of France He then fastened
to Europe, and has been an active participa-
tor in the wars since that time. He returns
here to settle permanently on the Pacific
coast, having always had an abiding affection
for California. 1t is even rumored that Gar
ibaldi has some idea of retiring from the
theatre of his splendid achievements and set
tling in California; but it is probably with
out foundation"
A SCENE AT A Baltimore ELEoTIoN-The
following incident is said to have occurred at
one of the polls in the city of Baltimore, at
the Presidential election Of 1856. A very ola
man approached the polls, holding his ballots
ready to be deposited The crowd made way
with one accord, but one active otiicous com
mtteeman, who did not know the new
conner nor appreciate the general movement,
interposed with his challenge and the follow
ing colloquy took place:
