The friends of Garibsldi sill be shocked 10

they will be equally surprised to Aear that if he
dies he viii be not less the victim of bad sur

prisoner, it viii be remembered. be Was shot in
the foot-the wound being upon the instep r
was exceedingly painful from the start, and the
sufferer was at cnce removed with great care to
VarignsnO, where he was supplied With four
medical attendants. The excitement and sym
pathy Of friends in England led to tbs visit of
DR. Partridge, OF London, to the sufferer. He
found the four surgeons ia attendance equally
divided in opinion as to Whethsr the ball re-
msined in the wounded limb. DR.. Partridge de-
cided that it did not. (For this visit and the
opinion given in the case Dr. Partridge charged
and was paid $3500) New evidence, however,
has reversed the decision and the news now is
that Ganbaldi must loose his limb, s. the only
question being as to the moment and mode of
amputation." DR.. Nelaton one Of the most emf
nent of French surgeons, has offered bis services
as operator, and Garibaldi has accepted them.

The vigorous efforts pat forth by England to
obtain cotton from her own colonies have pro-
duced an extraordinary degree Of activity in In
dia. A Calcutta letter to the London Times
Gays:
AZ present it is striking 20 observe the way in
which cotton Is poEring into CAlcutta. The let
ties on the Hooshly and the turucks on the line
sre covered with gTs4t bags, snsersEed, and, in
soms casea, almost UaseWn. No Gaze hss been
shown in packing it and little is given by the
railway officials in the transit Tbs Tosd and the
river are often covered with it; natives as they
pass, and the birds Of she air, help themselves to
it; ard sll because there are no screws in the
interior. Yet, largely have pricss risen in the
interior that it can afford to pay the high rates
demanded necessarily by the railway for cotton
so packed. Little above thirty hundred weight
of 'u-screwed cotton can be slowed away in oSe
wagon, and each wagon costs from thirty ts
thirty-fve rupees, and at that sum hardly pays.
This rupee a hundred weight to transport cotton
from Agra and AlIahabad TO Calcutta, is due
solely to the want of screws.
The river presents a similar scene. Great
boats, which are as safe as they are uuwiedy
and unshapely are borne down by tho current
or to Calcutta This is the result of prices hav-
ing at last risen above the level OF 1859, when
they reached their highest point during the past
twenty years. Fortunately, too, the rise took
place about sowing time, and the fact that native
capitalists are eager for cotton gives the people,
so often deluded by the fskelness Of Manches-
ter, confidence in the psrmaaancs Of She rates
So long ago as the close of July fifty four shiings
per pound of eighty-tSo pounds wss the rate
at Mrzapore and Ghsseepore, and this is higher
than has ever been known But the cotton
seems ts be most filthy and he's never been so
such adulterAted as within the last ten years
Formerly each kind Of cotton had its own pecu-
lisr falling, but now all are bad alike Compta
which had only seed, is now weighed in add-
ton with stones and dirt, while Broach a8d
Dhollera, which were only dirty, are now as
full of seed also as ComPta Worse than this,
mixing has been added to the baser kind of
adulteTation, and bad cotton has been packed
with all the we'll known and distinctive marks
of what is good,

wxsrEAN couRrsHIR.

An amusing, incident, says the Vir-
egua, (WiscOnsin,) sExpositor,' oc-
Cured In this locality this week
A young gentleman OF the village,
who 10 considerably troubled with
calico proclivities, concluded TO pass
the entire evening with one OF the
fair sex In the country. On arriving
he found the family all seated at the
supper table and the old gentleman
Of the house, after having finished
his supper, very politely invited our
young gallant TO sup.
Now TO withhold the name of the
individual In question must cause no
e'scruples" as to the truthfulness OF
the story. He picked mp an old
fashioned FIRE shovel and slipped a
finger In the "ring" or curl of the
handle and his finger having be-
come SO swollen that he could not
extricate IL, he OF course was com :
PEELED to decline the kind offer.
After discovering his predicament,
and not desiring to leave his finger
with his sweet heart or TO carry away
the shovel, our fast young man mus
tered courage enough to draw forth
his finger from the wise, leaving
quite quantity of "hide" IN the
aforementioned curl OF the shovel.
Now our young gallant, although,
as before stated, he had excused him.
self from participating In the even.
ing festival, was as the sequal will
show, somewhat desirous OF little
refreshment, for, after all had retired
except himself and the object of his
visit, he excused himself from her
presence for few moments, and re-
turned to the kitchen, fonnd pot OF
amush and milk" and availing him
self of the chance, picked up the pot
there being no spoon within his
reach-and commenced throwing
himself outside OF the luxury as fast
as possible, when the old gentleman,
hearing the racket mOngst the
kitchen utensils, made straight tor
that apartment, expecting to find Old
Growler enjoying himself to his
hearts satisfaction. Our friend hav-
ing a delicacy about being caught
with big iron pot at his mouth,
tried to make his disappearance
from the apartment "double quick"
time but the pot bail, unfortunate
ly for our sprightly man, fell over
his head, the "mush and milk" ooz-
ing all over his head and shoulders,
mnch to the chagrin Of the poor
fellow:
After being released by a kind and
intended father-in-law, our young
friend returned home with soiled hat
and coat, determined never again to
visit the scene of so much trouble In
one night.
