Garisaldi's Second Marriage. H,
sahrioaidi second marriage, of which much
nas oeen gossIped in the journals at home and
abroad, Is thus ventilated in the Paris cores
Ponqence OF he New Orleans Picayune
.,,..i. usee say You have heard q great many
SHusio'.s to Gsribaldi's marriage, and have
oeSn rather pussled to form an opinion wheth-
% ne was or was not married, the whole matter
oeing shrouded in mystery. I think can tell
you the whole story, He was engaged to marry
Miss Josephine Raymond, a daughter (so
everybody said) Of the Marquis Ramondi, a
wealthy Milan landed proprietor. The Mar
quis raymond lives with Ronconi's wife's
sister, and Miss Josephine Raymond is the
eldest Of FIVE children iell daughters) that have
Issued from this union She is a tall brurette,
with brilliant eyes, regular, but prominent
features, and a rather fat face. She is 70
years old. Last summer when the italian cam
paign was at its height,the Marquis Raymond
and his family were residing at his summer
residence, Fino Castle, which is some fifteen or
eighteen miles from Milan and is situated en-
the western bank Of Lake Como. Garibaldi
and his band were at Verese. He had entered
Como few days before, and made the ac-
9uaintance Of the Marquis Of Raymond and
his family. The Austriars had marched for
ward, cut Oh all communicate between Como
and Verese, Intending 70 concentrate their
forces BY different roads on Verese in large
numbers % as to surround and crush Garibaldi
and his followers. The Prodestat (Mayor) of
Como was anxious to communicate this intelIi-
Eence to Garibaldi, and made proclamation
TO his fellow-citiZens calling upon one brave
italian to volunteer and risk his life fos Carl
baldi's safety. Nobody offered.
when Miss Josephine Raymond heard of
this she became indignant at the cowardice of
men, and offered herself as volunteer, saying

Su. OF one and twenty (who, by reason of her
sex, ran much greater risks than man would
oe exposed toy services deemed by men too
hazardous to be encountered. But Miss Jose
phine raymond insisted so strenuously that
the dispatches should be given her that the
Podestat yielded beside, whom else had he
TO send and the danger pressed. She got on
her horse and in an instant disappeared in the
mountains defiles. She knew every path that
lay between Como and Esresse, for from her
youth she had trod al, ,on foot or on horseback
She escaped the Austrians and at sunrise was
at Garibaldis camp. She delivered the dis
patch into his hands. She returned home as
safely as she had gone to her destination. Be-
ing forewarned, Garibaldi was forearmed; he
forced Borgho Vico defle, and drove back the
Aastrians beyond Lake Como. After the
peace was made at Villafranca, Garibaldi paid
the Marquis Raymond a visit at Fino Castle,
for the fair warrior of Como had made deep
impression on him. He asked her hand in
marriage of her father. The Marquis was de-
lighted at the proposition, and instantly gave
his consent, and the marriage was announced
everywhere in the neighborhood, and was
soon heard Of throughout Europe.
When the Marquis told Josephine that he
had given her hand to the Liberator of Italy,
she appeared stupefed rather than delighted
She could not refuse to wed Garibaldi, for
every italian regards him as something more
than q demi-god-beside, what pretext could
lar - tool fha air aofio
for the emotion natural to her sex at this su-
preme hour of woman's life, and they hastened
the preparations for the marriage. The
whole raymond family were soon collected at
Fine Castle. Garibaldi came with all his
friends, and a second marriage was soon neso-
tisted between Garibaldi's son and a -,mnSer
sister (ssid so be n beauty of Jo<ephine Raw
mondi. All at once, and me day before the
time appointed for the marriage Miss Jose
Phine fell sick 1t was hoped she would be
better the neZs day; on the contrary, she be-
eame "orss; wo-three-four-fved days came
ana went; Miss Josephine became worse. The
Physician said il was nothing serious, and at
East the father of the bride determined to make
her dress and have her carried to the altar
the marriage Was to be celebrated in the chapel
In the castle. Ii became necessary to take
some measure Of this sort, for all tha nswspa-
pers in Europe were making Inquiries on the
subject, and several persons from remote cities
bad Quilted their ordinary avocations to act as
GarieAdis groomsmen; (among them Mons.
Alexander Dumas) and they could not be OK
fected to wait there indefinitely dancing at
tendance upon a woman's vapors.
2"The marriage ceremony took place in Fino
Castle Chapel, but after the ceremony the bride
declared she felt worse than ever, and begged
her friends to excuse her from taking any share
in the festivities prepared in honor Of the occa-
sion, and took to bed. The wedding party was,
under these circumstances, gloomy. of course,
and soon broke up. leaving Garibaldi alone
with his new family. He could not enter his
nsptial chamber; his wife's illness forbade
that. He slept in an adjoining room. The
malls next morning brought him q letter-an
anonymous letter-sent, so il is stated, by one
Of his friends. It acquainted him that Miss
Josephine raymond, or rather Mrs. Josephine
Garibsldi (for such she was now) had long
honored her cousin, Count -, with her fa-
Eors. The most irresistible evidence was given,
and the names Of witnesses cited. Garibaldi
gave the letter to the Marquis Raymond, who
fastened to the brides room and gave her the
fatal paper. There was no denying the charge
made. distressing scene took place between
father and child. Garibaldi quietly quilted
the house aud went to his retreat on the Island
Of Caprera. Josephine quilted her fathers
house next day, and fed with her seducer to
Switzerland, where they now are. Who sent
the anonymous letter? II could not have been
q friend, for friend would have sent it before,
not after marriage. II is said that it was sent
by some italian devoted to Austria, or some
adherent Of Mazzini to fever Garibaldi With
military frenzy, and keep him from the quiet
OF home and wife. I" Sos r. esq
