ITALIA.
The Anniversary Of italian Liberty to be
Celebrated Ia Memphis.

As we have previously intimated in va
rious local paragraphs, the Italians of our
city are going to make q grand gala day
| of the I4th instant, which is the eleventh
anniversary of the independence of Italy
achieved by the heroic Victor Emanuel,
aided by that wonderful statesman and
imam of destiny" Louis Napoleon. 1t Is
mete that this should be a day of proud
memories and of rejoicing TO ey-
cry son of that sunny land where
are emblems of deeds that were done in
their Cline"
and that the achievement of al Re gaUan-
tuonO" should be celebrated by every
true Italian. On this day, eleven years
ago, the wal cry "a fOUOre IL Italia"
first uttered by Garibaldi, was taken up
all over the historic land" and the
Strdniere and Tedeseo were sent bowling
to the borders.
Italy, the beautiful and proud, the land
where the goods still reign" the land of
song and story, Of moon lighted terraces,
tinkling guitars, of bubbling nightingales
and cooling doves, the land of the olive
and grape and pomegranate, so many
hundred years the battle ground of EuS
rope and the domain of petty tyrants,
was free again.
Q THE ARRANGEMENTS
for the day have been made by the SocietG
al UHioHe e ErdaetLdRzG UdLiGHd, " hose
officers and committees rave been at
work day and night for some time past.
At a late meeting, as we have already an
nounced, our friend, Mr.. James Brizzo-
lara, was selected as Grand Marshal, and
Mr.. A. B. VaccAro as Assistant Marshal,
to conduct the ceremonies. Mr.. BriZzo-
lara was also chosen orator of the dey-a
fitting tribute to the talents of one of the
most prominent young members of our
Memphis bar. We feel assured that he
will acquit himself with credit, and we
look for a very brilliant effort from him.
