Garibaldi and Hungary.

TIE world has expressed much astonish-
ment at the retirement OF Garibaldi to bis
| Island home in Caprera. That the hero
whom all friends of humanity adore should
so suddenly leave the busy scenes of life and
the excitemepts of armies and campaigns,
was indeed wonderful. Then he seemed to
ask or expect no adequate reward for his
great services to his King and country ex-
cept the consciousness of being the nations
and the worlds benefactor and deserving
their lasting gratitude.
1t is impossible to believe that Garibaldi
has really settled himself for any great
length of time upon the little rocky island
where it is said that be is the only inbabi-
tapt, except the friends who share his volun-
tary exile, and his cows aRd sheep. Doubt
less he retired for lest, and TO have an oppor-
tunity of undsturbed study to mature some
future plans of world surprising conquest
He cannot have retired entirely from the
stage of active events, for his country is not
yet so free as be has promised it shall be, and
the world cannot believe that Garibaldi
would voluntarily leave his work unfinished.
Besides, his wide sympathies doubtless ex-
tend to other countries than Italy, and he is
very likely meditating plans for assisting the
emancipation of other races.
There are reasons to think that the next
scene of Garibaldi's operations will be Hun,
gary, perhaps, however, after Rome is added
TO the Kingdom of Victor Emanuel. The
freedom of Hungary and the cooperation of
it's people would be the greatest assistance to
the Italians in recovering Venitia. Hun
earian legion has been, or at least was to be,
formed in Italy, and five thousand Hungari-

All circumstances increase the probabili-
ties that Garibaldi will ere long appear in
Hungary, and the two people most oppressed
by Austria will join hands to resist the tyr
amy. The results of such com bnatlon on
the affairs of Europe will be great.
SrARyATIoN IN SYRIA, The Boston Trav-
eler publishes an appeal for the starving OF
SYRIA. 1t ys:-sThe prospect is simply
appalling. Already the lists of daily reeipi-
ents of charity have risen to 27 600, and yet
they grow, despite the utmost efforts to re-
duee them Merely to supply food to these
81 900, on the lowest scale that will sustain
life for the six months TO come, until har"
vest begins will cost EGO 900. But food is
not all that must be provided. Many thou
sands will be required to furnish shelter,
clothes, bedding, medicines, physlcians, hos
pitfalls, and all the machinery necessary Tor
these operations, even when conducted on
the most economical scale possible. The
Committee see with serious solicitnde, that
the existing operations Of all kinds require
an outlay of Gl500 week. Should they be
continued at this rate for the ensuing SIX
months, the large sum of 939 000 will be
needed. But we dare not conceal our appre-
hension that, during the seventies of winter,
the rate of expenditure ought to be, and must
be, considerably higher.
