~ Of GsribaIdi's ~ooing is this: He
was Que day sitting in the catin Of

looking toward the shore, when sudden-
ly he saw, at farmhouse situsted on .
n,igbboripg hill, three or four girls bust,
ly engaged 10 household duties. They
were all remarkable for beauty, but one
in particular attracted his attention for
her uncommon grace and loveIiDess. He
was still watching them when he recs,v.

Iy on landing, he directed bis st-ps 20

The impulse which prompted him to
go to the house was to address the giIl
he so much admired. o. seeing her he
Immediately besought her to become his
wife. The girl, it seems conceived an
affection as warm and sudden Us be had
felt for her; and after the lapse Of a few
short days they we're man and wife. The
surname of this lovely Brazilian girl Of
Santa Catharins, who became under such
peculiarly romantic circumstances the
wife Of GaribsIdi, has never been reveal
ed. In all the biographies Of our hero
she is alone mentioned by her Christian
name Of Anita. She seems to have

Her courage was remarkable. A short
time after their marriage she went thro'
an engagement at sea. with her husband,
refusing to 20 ashore, and during the
fight she would stay nowhere but Oh
deck, where she welded csrbine and
cheered the men. In the heat Of battle
she was standing on deck, fourisbing a
sabre, and inspiring the men to deeds of
vslor, when she was knocked down by
the wind Of cannon ball that had killed
two men standing close by her side Gar.
ibaldi was springing forward towards her,
thinking that he would find her corpse,
when she rose to her feet, covered with
the blood Of the men who had fallen close
to her, but quite unhurt. He begged
her to 90 bel"w aud remain there until
the action was over. II will 60 below"
was her reply. "but only to drive out the
sneaking towards who ore skulkine

three men leave the deck and hurry rapidly
down the hatchway And going below.
she Immediately reappesred, driving be-
fore her the three men, overcome with
shame that they should have been sur
passed in courage by woman She ac
companied her husband in all his under

the quadruped to execute a jig upon his

period in discovering some method by
which he could saw out ship timber IN =

dog to dance; Knowlton in the same time
discovered N mechanical com bination that
enabled him to do 10 two hours tho work

process, an entire day. That saw is now

GEN. CUsTAR's BRUTAL1TY.-Iast
week we published portions Of three let
ters from Texas, which exposed brutal
practices resorted to by Gen. Custar in
the treatment Of his command, the army
in Texas. This week, another letter is
handed US, written by resident Of
Lyons, from which We copy few lines:
"O1r health is better than our grub
We get half rations Of wormy bread, and
sugar and coffee according; fresh beef
without salt or pepper. On this cam
paign wo marched from 2 till 10 a. m,
and from 4 till 8 p. m. We have been
treated worse than dogs. Gen, Custar
went in the advance. He and his wife
and staff would be shooting all day long /;
if they saw quail, they would stop the
whole command in the sun, SO they could
get 4 chance to shoot it. They made
out to keep us in the sun oil day. The
sun was hot enough to broi! coffee in the
shade"
These complaints of i'll treatment come
from soldiers from the different States,
and not doubt exists that there is all
too much foundation for them. There
can be no necessity now for forced mar
ches, nor for poor fare any length Of
time nor can there be any palliation for
the great brutality practiced upon soldiers
in that department.-Lyons Mirror. 81
From oil that We can learn Gen. Custar
is acting most inhumanly towards the
men under him. We have it from good
authority that the half starved men while
on the march saw bushels Of peaches fed
to the hogs while they were not allowed
to take 0, even buy one. We do hops

after the war commenced Mr.. Barnum con.

accordingly done. A few weeks later, the

sHOOTISa.-ou Friday night last, about

1t is asserted by some that the guard
mistook young Day for one of the escaped

D8-AN UNPLEAsANT M1sTAKE.-OnF FRI
day night, as Mr.. Hartman, who keeps a
clothing store on Water street, was com.
ing out of Washington Hall, he was ao-
costed by an officer of the Provost Guard
and apprehended as deserter. He was
conveyed to the Atheneum and there iden-
titled as man named Livi, deserter
from the army. Mr.. Hartman had always
supposed that he knew himself and his
name and local habitation-at least quite
as we'll as other people. He was of course
very much amazed and alarmed to find
that he was somebody else, and asked
time to consider. He finally succeeded in
convincing the officer that he was not "that
man, but another mar, )" and he was there
fore released.
