In his old age Garabaldi is falling into

poverty, and the island home is becoming
desolate. The proud and venerable patriot
is finding friends in his necessities and
might never have come to such straits if
his troubles had been previously known.
Money has been sent him by some of bis
admirers in America, and his wants are
now attracting attention in his native land.
A meeting of the editors of Italian news
papers was recently held at Rome in his
behalf, and the result will doubtless be to
gather a fund for his support during the
few remaining years that in the course of
nature are allotted to him.
