steamers furnished by the connivance
of an American, he landed in Sicily.

THE RED SHIRTS
of his followers puzzled the Neapolitan
commander; he thought they must be
British soldiers Or marines. He went
on board a British man-of war to
inquire before he opened fire. The
rest is well known-his success in
Sicily, how he boldly crossed the
Strait, how the kingdom of Naples
fell before him, and how that and all
the duchies and municipalities Of Italy,
except Romagna, Lombardo- Venetia,
fell into the hands of Victor Emanuel,
who came forward at the eleventh
hour to receive the spoil Garibaldi's
sword had wo and who has kept

which is more likely to be enduring
than any political change in. Europe
within the last century. To obtain
that object, the republican Garibaldi

In France, GaribaldI will be received
with mistrust, jealousy and aversion
by the. higher officers, but the rank
and file have learned to regard him
with respect and admiration, his rep

who fought for or against him IN
Italy. By the masses he will be
hailed and followed enthusiastically
on trust, TO say nothing of his Won
derful and unconscious powers ofquiet
magnetism over those with whom he
comes in contact. Hence his advent

ground over Whicn he will be called
to operate is unfavorable both to his
genius and to the peculiar nature of
his forces: and if SUCCESS or change
