An Obscure Passage IN GariD"iuPs hhe'
Translated for Eoery Saturday from L'Elpoqae.
During Garibaldi's short and brilliant
campaign i'm Northern Lombafdy, in
1859. he marched on Como, todrive out
General Urban and the Austrians under
his command. But when Garibaldi
drew near the town he was extremely
embarrassed to decide upon his next move
for he knew. neither theenemy's strength
nor positions. While he was in the
midst of this perplexity, most beauti-
full young girl, and brilliant horsewoman,
entered his camp. She came to speak TO
him. She had audaeiously made her
way, on horseback, through General Ur-
bans lines and vanguard, TO bring him
the desirable information. This dazzling
apparition was none other than husep-
pima Raimondi, daughter Of the, Marquis
Raimondi, one of the wealthiest and no
blest, landowners of ,Lombardy. y. I!
,Garibaldi could not avert the deep I'M
preston made on him by this heroic &C
tion and by the bewitehing beauty OF the
heroine. Although he Is very far from
being lady's man, and while ms lie,
fun of perils, fatigues, and combats, has
shielded him from the power OF woman's
fascinating Establishments, he Is nowise
insensible TO their seduetiohs and nndis-
puted charms. No well7endowed man
could be insensibleJ to these prevailing
enchantments and / never met man %

KNIFE AND PITCHFoRK.-The German
journals relate the following anecdote
"Saxhausen is one of the suburbs of
Frankfort, and is partly occupied by
gardeners, who are considered, rightly
or wrongly, to be clownish lot. When
the Prussian troops entered the city,
every house was obliged to billet one or
two soldiers. The inhabitants of Sax
hansen acquitted themselves of this
duty with very bad grace, and one of
them showed such manifest signs of i'll
will towards his guest that the latter,
when he sat down to dinner, placed his
sword on the table by his side, with a
very significant gesture. The country
man said nothing, but left the room and
returned in a moment with an enormous
pitchfork, which he laid down beside
the sword. The soldier flushed up with
anger, but the other quietly observed,
4 thoHght that for so big knife big
fork was required. If you like we can
each make use of our own Implements
This was all the satisfaction the son of
Mars could obtain, so he thought fit to
put his sword away in corner of the
kitchen, while the other withdrew the
pitchfork."

RAILROAD MATTERS IN TUE Oh Re-
GIoN,-The Oil City Register thus refers
to railroad matters in the oil regions
The struggle for the monopoly of the
carrying trade of the oil region, is fast
approaching elimination. Matters
are becoming narrowed down to such
an extent that the contest between the
powerful corporations of the New York
Central, Pennsylvania Central, and the
Atlantic and Great Western railroads,
cannot long be delayed. In no event
will the best interests of the petroleum
business fail to be benefited by cheaper
rates Of transportation, which will save
the money TO the producer, that now
flows into the Golfers Of these monster
monopolies, Quite recently, events are
transpiring in railroad circles, calculated
to bring about results highly beneficial
to the best interests of the petroleum
business generally, as we'll as our own
city.
The defeat of Commodore Vanderbilt
in the struggle for the presidency Of the
New York Central railroad throws the
practical management Of the affairs into
the hands OF the new vice president,
Mr.. Fargo. The Albany and Buffalo
combinations were too strong for the
Commodore-the express company wins.
The Cross cut road will soon be com
pleted to Cory, giving the New York
Central its first fair sweep at the oil
product.
The interest of the Pennsylvania Cen
trail in the Oil Creek railroad-one-th third
has been purchased by the New York
Central, giving it the control of that
property. On-producers may, therefore,
during the next season, look for com
petition between these two great and
antagonistic monopolies, that will be
certain to lower freights, and which
will be sure to put money in their
pockets.

PROFANITY.
OF all bad habits that can attach them
selves to man, swearing-merely from a
business point Of view-appears to me TO
be the most foolish and inexcusable. II is
a habit from which there is no possible
good, but always probable evil. The
tippler, in his mirth, finds AN apology ;
the thief steals for gain the gambler
plays TO win the murderer, in common
with all other criminals, finds some excuse
to mitigate his guilt, but who ever heard
a man even attempt a justification or ex-
euse for profanity, Unlike kindred bad
habits, 1t Is wicked and useless without an
apology it Injuries you without recon-
pense, even in the eyes Of your own pro
fame associates, while all moral and re-
spectacle people condemn and despise you.

PUNcTUALITY IN BUSINESS AND ENGAGE
MENTS.
A great element of success 10 a business
man, especially to a professional man, is
punotuaity. The physician who habitu-
ally vexes your patience by being tariy,
is soon discharged for one more pncmal.
The anxious client who finds his lawyer
often absent from business, IN his impa-
tience seeks counsel elsewhere. While
want OF DunCtualty in business is luinri
GUS to your purse; in engagements, it
ruins reputation, You place no confidence
in the man who is not punctual, and after
several disappoinments, you-suiting your
actions to his-come yourself to be tardy.
You have no right to break an engage.
ment for by so doing you infringe upon
the time. patience, and often convenience
of others, who are parties to the engage
ment. 1t costs no more to be on time
than behind, while you save much. Then
be punctual.
