cannon Wa6 II the Possession Of tho uou4iEa
men, thoroughly :sspiked."
The utter wantot display and even Of mark
ed attention in the recepuon Of Mr. Uougfas
mu4t have resulted frGm the fact that .he
'epiked" cannon would not shoot. There were
less than half dozen men End Two carriages in

Of man who liko Garibaldi, has

Italy on the ruins Of Despotlsm ana The

important class in this country who have

to say that slasey is wrong; that preachers

the disabled soldiers who served in that
campaign, has been closed The entire
movement was under the charge of com

the Empress at the head. The amount col
lected reaches the handsome sum of 5 $780,
