GARIBALDI.

The Red-shIrted Hero In the Field Asain-Hls
Arrival I'm France sketch of His Past
Career.
Giuseppe Garibaldi has at last arrived in
France, to fight the battles of the so-called re-
public against the German invaders. In this
new venture of his, he may accomplish much or
little-time alone can tell. But now that he
once more emerges from the obscurity of
Caprera, his adventurous career is invested
with passing interest.
He was born in Nice July A. 1906 He was
brought up to his fathers profession of mariner.
When a boy he rescued poor woman from
drowning at the risk of his own life, and per-
formed similar actions on several subsequent
occasions. He was first destined for the priest
hood, and for many years he was under the in
structions of Roman Catholic tutor named
Giovanni. The over-severity of this training
probably dsgusted him with the profession, for
we find that he refused in tie strongest terms
to enter it, and to avoid doing so even attempted
to run away. The study of the law was then
proposed, but with no better success and ult.
mately he was allowed to follow his own choice
of the sea.
His second voyage was to Rome, where the
condition of that city led him to adopt the
revolutionary views which caused him to be
exiled from Italy in February 1884. lie then
went to Marseies and made voyages to various
ports for living. At one time he was left sick
at Constantinople, and there became teacher
in order to gain means to return. On his re-
turn to Marseilles he embarked for Tunis and
from thence for Rio Janeiro, where he entered
into business partnership with Rosetti, but
only to find that neither were suited for
mercantile life. On the solicitation of
Zambeccari he espoused the cause of the
republic of Uruguay, then fighting for inde-
md In, ifo haho L.
naval engagements. In one he received a gun
shot wound in the neck that proved nearly
fatal. While in a precarious condition he
landed on neutral soil and found himself pri-
soner. On attempting to escape he was recap
tured and was tortured in order to obtain the
names of those who had favored his flight He
afterwards managed to reach Montevdeo. and
from thence returned to Uruguay, where, with
land expedition, he greatly distinguished
himself. He took the side of this country
until the close of the war, when he
married Anita, South American woman of
great energy and devotion. By her he had two
sons Menotti and Rcciotti by name, both
of whom have figured conspicuously in his
revolutionary enterprises. He taught mathe-
MATES for a time In Montevideo after his mar
riage, but when Rosas, the Dictator of Buenos
Ayres, declared war against the Uruguayan Re-
head of an Italian legion of 800 men fought the
battle of salto SAINT Antonio.
When Plus IX was elevated to the Papacy In
1S47, Garibaldi left South America with por-
tion Of the Italian legion. Charles Albert, the
King of Sardinia, declined his services, where
upon he rendered them to the provisional gov
ernment of Rome. He was received with great
enthusiasm, and was in the thick of the igh
during the French campaign against the revolu-
tionary government, which resulted in the cap
ture OF Rome on June 30, 1849. Garibaldi fled
from the city, pursued by French and Austrians
and for some time contrived to keep
together a small force. In August
he endeavored to make his way into Venice
then blockaded, but his fleet of ishing-boats, u
which were about 300 of his adherents, was dis.
persed, many of them being captured. Carl.
baldi managed to reach the shore with his wife
and few companions. His wife, worn ou
with fatigue and refusing to leave his side, died
two days afterwards, leaving him oppressed
with grief. He made his way across Italy tC
the Mediterranean coast, but was captured in
Sardinia, and sent to Genoa in short time.
In the summer of 1850 he arrived in New
York, declined public reception, and settled
down on Staten Island as a manufacturer o
soap and candles. He afterwards made seVe
raj voyages in the Pacific, and in 1854 accepted
an invitation TO return to Nice, but subse
quently settled on the island of Caprera, wher,
he engaged in farming with much success.
Al the outbreak of the war of 1859, he orga
nized a body of volunteers called Alpine Chas
seurs, consisting of 1900 men, and with these
he engaged, in company with the sardiniar
generals, at Varese, Camerlata, Como, Brescla
Magenta. Montebello, So.ferino, ETC., and gained
decisive Victories over the Austrians. Havins
raised small army for the liberation of South
ern Italy from the domination of the Bourbon
King of Naples, he landed at Marsala in Sicily
in May. 1880. He speedily took Palermo an,
Messini, and crossing TO the mainland il
August, occupied the city of Naples about tn,
eighth of September. His army, reinforced b.
many Liberals Of Southern Italy, defeated thu
troops Of King Francis in October, 1860, anS
expelled him from the country, which was sooI
after annexed 10 the kingdom of italy. Carl
Aaldi afterwards retired 80 his home in the
island OF Caprera.
