ANEcDoTE OF GARIBALDL-A correspondent
of the London News, writing from Messina,
tells the following anecdote:
While | am writing, | can see Garibaldi,
who arrived here this morning at o'clock,
walking up and down the deck of the CITY Of
Aberdeen, one Of the Siclian steamers living
in this harbor, following, through his glass,
the movements Of the enemy. There is an
amusing story, current here, which | give
you, without, however, vouching for its cor
rectness. You are, perhaps, aware that the
great fishery of the peScespada, or swordfish
affords occupation to the fishermen who live
in the villages and hamets scattered along
and about the coast from Messina to Faro
Point, as well as on the opposite one of
CalaUria. This fishery in performed in the
most ingenious manner A man ascends a
long pole which rises in the center of the
boat, and when he sees the swordfsh passing
through the current he makes the rowers
row in that direction, and the man at the
stern, who is armed with a long and sharp
pike, if fortunate enough, spikes the fish
Well, one day Garibaldi disappeared for two
hours, and it is stated that having disguised
himself as fisherman, he went 80 near to the
opposite shore that from the pole he was
able to rcconnoitre all the fortified points of
the Neapolitan coast. True or not, this
story forms the subject of al conversations
in the camp, and causes great deal of merri-
ment among the noble fellows encamped un-
der scorching sun en- the sandy beach

EMPIRE CITY.-This place, formerly Little
Grizzv situated between Monte Crsto and
Poker Flat, says the Sierra Democrat, promi-
ses to be one of the richest mining camps in
the county. The tunnel companies have
been kept back for want of good air, Two
companies combined to remedy this evil, and
aftera year of steady work shaft has been
got through, and the tunnels are provided
with that blessing which we never covet till
somehow we get under ground. This shaft
is 500 feet in depth, so feet of it having been
blasted out.

IL was rumored in Nashville, on Tuesday
last, that the Hon. William L. Yancey Of
Alabama had been killed in street fight,
few days before at Montgomery. The papers
of that city published the rumor, but they
have no confidence in the truth of the report,
nor has any one else. Mr.. Yanceys political
position is a peculiar one, and the energy
and activity with which he defends it has
brought him pretty nearly to the point of a
personal collision with half dozen different
persons. Still, i. is not likely that he would
go to the length of killing any one, or hAv-
ing any one kill him, for politics sake st

MATRIMONY,

Matrimony is a nut
For every mans digestion
When the shell is fairly cracked,
Pop goes the question.
Pretty girls will sigh and blush
Smper all they can, sir
I'LL, from out their pouting lips,
Pop goes the answer.
Cupid fans the holy flame
Raukest kind of arson
When 1t gains a certain height
Pop goes the parson.
Quite throughout the honeymoon
Made ofrosy colors-
Into sundry dry goods tills,
Pop! go the dollars.
When year has shown its all,
Round the corner, (may be,)
Out upon the happy world,
Pop, goes baby.
Mother gives it catnip tea,
Father gives it brandy,
And adown its gastric tube,
Pop, goes the candy.
Madam lets her husband scold,
She must be the whipper,
And, above the youngsters heels.
Pop! goes the slipper.
Bachelor, VINO lives next door,
Stands it for a season,
But, before the year is out,
Pop! goes his reason.
Maiden lady, up the stairs,
Stamps each moment faster,
Til, from the ceiling underneath,
Pop goes the plaster.
Dirty, ragged little boy,
Meath the window fingers;
Thumb applied to his nose,
Pop! go the fingers.
All around the neighborhood
Such antics are enacted
And, while mamma is scolding him,
"Pop" goes distracted.

TExAs.-Tho following is from the Almo

Antonio, Texas: A proposition is now on
foot in this region to raise a new electoral
ticket, to be composed of all parties opposed
to Breckenridge and Lincoln THIS ticket
will be voted for by the friends of Houston,
Bell and Douglas. If they carry the State,
they go instructed to vote for the strongest
of these three, to beat Breckinridge and for
Breckinridge dernier resort to beat Lin
coin. The proposition is fair one, and
should meet the hearty support of all lovers
of the Union and opponents of secionalism
1t promises to become the plan of action in
Texas; thereby fate will decide our preferen-
ees, and crush the fatal spirit of disunion that
is now running rife in the land.
The Express advocates this combination.

Fowl PRooEEDNG.-The following incident
which might appropriately be termed

from the view of the marksmen, with shot
gun, but in such position that he could
distinctly see them, as we'll as command q
raking fire at the chickens, when set up
Pistols were the only weapons allowed, at a
distance of thirty five PAGES. When Pat saw
his confederate aim. he blazed away, and of
course killed the bird, which his confederate
was by no means slow in rushing up and
claiming. This state OF affairs did not last
long, however, for Koch took the hint, and
exposed the trick before his pocket had sus-
tained much damage. The large crowd in
attendance relished the joke when it was
made apparent, and caused the welkin to
ring with their boisterous laughter-San

among the machinery. On examination, it
was found that the stud bolts connecting the
piston rod to the crank pin had given way
while the engine was in motion, and had
driven the piston through the bottom of the
