ABOUT GARIBALDI.- The Paris cores pendent of the Boston Saturday Gazette writes:-Amusing revelations have been made about Garibaldi's camp during the Franco German war. Garibaldi went to bed early he suffered severelywith rheumatism in feet and hands, and could not bear the fatigue of sitting up. His sons, Ricciotti and Menotti, were passionately fond of gambling, and would play all night long. Menotti would remain all night in cafe, playing billiards. When he could find mo- body to play with him, he would play alone. Riccotti, who was more sociable, would. in some other cafe, sit up nearly all night, playing cards with subordinate officers. This, indeed, was the habit of Bordone, and of nearly all the staff officers Moreover, there was scarcely one of them who had not h1s wife or mistress with him. These women received pay as officers. They followed the army on horseback, commanded, held reviews, and accompanied officers of high rank A battalion has been mentioned as having had woman for ad- jutant-major; she strutted about with ep- auettes, and received adjutant-major's pay. An officer named Delmore likewise had his mistress with him. She received the pay of a staff officer. General Pradier was sent to organize the defence ot Autun. He at once saw the absolute incapacity of Gar ibaldi. General Pradier asked for a topo- graphical engineers map, and was morti- fled to see tbat Garibaldi did not even know wha; typographical engineers map was A paper of pins, left by some woman, was on GAribaldis table. General Pardier, to the childish delight of Garibaldi, explained the position.

DUTCEss COUNTY AIRsHIP.-Prof. Chas. Fisher of Rhinebeck, is now busily engaged in constructing a mammoth balloon.-The Gazette says: The four sections of which the balloon is constructed were made in Poughkeepsie, but will be brought to Rhine beck early next month for completion. The Prof. furnishes us with the following par ticulars concerning this mammoth airship: Length of balloon, 70 feet; circumference 40; the length of the balloon from the centre of the dome to concentrating hoop, 88 feet; 10 the lower ring in which the er onaut rides is 12 feet more, making the total length of the balloon 100 feet. The material used in the construction is the best unbleached Sea Island cotton muslin-1I6O yards of which were required. It is not, as many suppose, gas balloon, but is to be inflated by means of hot air, and when lied will contain 76, GOO cubic feet of as- cending power, capable of carrying the 9ronaut upward at the rate of mile a minute. The weight of the balloon is 45O pounds and will be the largest of the kind in the world, and costs $5OG. The coming season will be Prof. Fishers fifth, as an erlal gymnast, and having made over 300 ascensions, should he meet with his usual success, he proposes tour through Europe South America. Next fall he contemplates tour through the Southern States, having engagements to make several ascensions in Florida, concluding with grand ascension at Enterprise, Florida, on January IA, 1875. As Prof. Fisher, this season, abandons the use of the trapeze and ascends clinging to ring only fifteen inches in diamater, it will be the greatest sensation of the age, and we trust he will meet with the success he deserves.

The Indian Uprising.

OMAHA, Feb. 9th.-Oficial letters from the commanding officer at Sidney barracks report that Pawnee Killer and Two Lances, accompanied by ninety-three lodges of Whistler's band of Sioux and two or three of Brule's band have left the reservation and arc moving to the hunting ground south ot the Platte, by way of Lewis canon. They claimed they had verbal per mission of the agent to do so. Two Lances reported two Other bands near Lewis can- on, one of 25 lodges of Arrapahoes and another of some 5 warriors after the Utss who had few days previous stolen large number of horses from them. There is no question but the Indians are highly incensed at their treatment. On the night of the l4th inst. party of about 200 Cheyennes under Little Arrow attempted to broak in to houses at Antelope Station but were driven off by the employees. These Indi : ans are reported on the war path against the Utes.
 John s. King, trapper, while cooking his supper in camp on Pumpkin creek on the night of the 9th inst, was attacked by band of thirty Sioux and shot in the knee and ankle. He killed one Indian and escaped with the loss of his horse and wag- on and $500 worth of furs This was a war party fLcly mounted. King dragged himself to a ranch twelve miles from where the fight occurred, and is now at Sidney.
 On the 7th inst. band of Indians ran off seven horses from the Reddington ranch. General Ord has sent party in pursuit. Evidence is daily accommodating that the Indians are being ill-treated on the reservations and contemplate an uprising in the spring, and. are even now swarming the prairies prepared for war

 Marrying Under Difficulties. Last Fri day afternoon, one of Canaan's most hon. ored citizens, a man, whose locks indi- cate years somewhat beyond the young or middle aged, purchased ticket at that l station for Albany, ostensibly for the pur- pose of attending on some transaction con- nected with his extensive business in that town. After securing his ticket he strolled about the depot, talking with this neighbor about the price of -, when the Spring business opens, and with that one about the relative value of chestnut, yellow pine. or the hard woods for burning -, and altogether he was one of the most innocent looking men in the world and even the most observing would fail to discern any, | thing in the various features of his coun- tenance, but business, absolute business and nothing but business.
 The time for the 1.45 train up was passed, and yet no train. A half hour longer past and yet no signs of cars. The interest of this waiting passenger in the price of -, and cordwood was noticed to flag. Instead of that perfectly bland smile, which pictured the absolute calm ness within, scowl was seen to creep up. on his forehead, as he paced the depot and gazed intently toward Falls Village An hour past time for the cars, and he seemed exceedingly nervous. which he was scarce ly able to conceal under his great coat ;- but we cannot pursue further the yicissi- tudes in his existence of that hour and half, while waiting for the cars, that were that much behind time.
