A few weeks ago, the heroic Cara
baldi was called by an expression OF
the people, from his retirement on
the island of Cabrara, to take his
place as member of the Italian
Parliament. Rome had witnessed
many proud procession, but nothing
can be conceived more grand and
effecting, than the heartfelt reception
of this unsuccessful hero. The superb
palaces, where rolled the ivory chariots
of Cesar and Marius, had long mould
cred into dust. The iaureled fasces,
the shouting legions, and the pictured
cities, wee indeed wanting to this
proc ession. The grandeur had passed
away from Rome, but she still retained
a kind and patriotic people and to
the man who had devoted his life to
her religious freedom, fought for Re-
publicanism, and led her soldiers on
to many hopeless battles, she now con-
ferred the proud reward of nations
honor.
Garabaldi, was one who, loved pat
riotism for it's own sake with many
opportunities to become rich, he
always remained poor, and with every
chance to exalt himself, he felt content
to remain below the level of the great.
Starting in many good enterprises, he
has himself accomplished nothing,
but to lay plans that other men have
followed out his life has thus far,
been both a success and failure, and
he has the satisfaction of gaining
nothing for himself, except the warm
est gratitude in the hearts of the
Italian people.

PROTESTANT KUTCHERY

Mexico has long been wide scene
of disorders. Civil wars have strewn
the plains with slaughter, and men
jealous of dissenters from the pre-
dominant reii geon, have defled with
murder, the affairs of the church
and although civilization has to some
extent, done its best in softening
this barbarity, q tragedy occurred
last month, that goes beyond any
thing of recent date, and shows a
brutality not less than that which
characterized the reign of Monte
yuma.
AS Catholicism gradually waned.
the people watched with growing
Jealousy, the silent progress of the
Protestant Church, that during the
last few years has made such pro-
gress, that churches have been
established iii Mexico, Vera Cruz,
and all the principal cities. In Aca-
pulco, no progress had been made
until about four years ago, when a
British missionary introduced the
Bible in the Spanish language. A
shoemaker named Franco, purchased
one of these, and being lead, through
it, to doubt the truth OF the Catholic
religion, handed 1t to few of his
friends, who with him, found suif-
cient reason for giving up their old
creed, and seeking the Protestant
faith. Accessions were made to
their number from time to time.
until they grew strong enough to
organize Protestant church. In
this they received encouragement.
insomuch, that building was pur-
chased, which served rs q church.
and minister named Hutchinson
was sent as their leader. There
were many converts, and many new
additions to the infant church. Ser
vices were held for several weeks.

book, becoming too laborous for the
overworked age, has given way to

The result Of this widespread
craving for brief and striking liter
allure, must be weakening Of
thought, an impoverishing OF Ideas,
destruction of true literature, by
calling forth that which is to meet

LITERATURE AND GREAT MEN.


The chief cause of the decline of
literary activity, as well as the want
Of responsible men to fiji our import
ant positions, is to be found in the
want of more thorough education and
widespread knowledge among the
masses. Those who reach an eminent
position must rise up from the few
and as we ditfuse knowledge more
widely, we multiply the sources whence
may come the talent and genius which
our country needs. The origin of the
great men, and literature of every
nation, can be traced back to the com
mon people. That Of France and
England arose with the ballads of the
middle ages. Much of that of Scot
land arose directly from the common
people, and high above the rest we
find Burns the poet of the masses. No
country has produced greater pro
portion of distinguished men than
Scotland, and surely none stands above
her in general education.
History proves to us that literature,
education, and great men, arise and fall
together. In no age of the world did
the education reach greater height
than in England in the 10th century.
The science and useful arts, which con
stitute the courses of the present, were
then unknown, More time was given
to the development of the mental fac
ulties, and the result was that out
burst of intellectual activity in the
10th century, to which history fur
nishes no equal. The literature and
education of Germany arose together.
till the present century finds her
towering above all other countries in
both.
Not only does the education of the
masses reflect upon the literature. and
actions OF great men. by developing
the talent of the country, but also 10y
the demands which an intellectual
public make upon the leading men of
the time; corrupt actions are her
aided with applause by a corrupt pub
lie; and while our periodicals continue
to applaud such, corrupt men will al
ways seek such fame. That great men
are moulded by the demands of the
people is proven 10y the way they rise
aud fall together. The greatest men
from the age of Homer to the present
have appeared in clusters, not because
men of corresponding style and talent
arose together by chance, but because
their great actions were called forth
by the demands OF the people
In the same manner the people and
not the writers rule our literature.

A bill is how pending in the Leg

not compel those having money, to
lend it at that rate, but would cause
them to loan their money in other

MADISON FEB. ODD, 1875

Special coyrespondencetothe Tribune.
After another week OF steady
labor, the Legislature have conclud-
ed that they can not properly attend
to the legislation they have Oh hand,
and adjourn on the 18th accord
ingly, the time for adjournment has
been extended to the 18th Of March.
The Judiciary committee have about
100 bills to act upon, and at present
are employing nearly their whole
time III taking testimony in refer
ence to the Impeachment of Judge
Small. This fact alone, rendered
an adjournment on the 25th, i'm
practicable. Should they adjourn
on the 4th of March, the session
will have been an unusually short
one. There is more danger to be
anticipated from hasty and inprov-
ident legislation, than from pro-
tracted session.
There has been some filibustering
over the location Of an Asylum for
the Blind. Some favoring re-
building on the old site near James
vile, others holding, that it would
be economy to remove the Blind to
the Soldiers Orphans Home at
Madison, where the State already
owns buildings and grounds ready
for their reception. The subject
was referred TO the committee on
Charitable and Penal institutions, a
majority of whom reported In favor
of rebuilding on the old site but
| Mr.. Lees of that committee, pre-
sented very and able and convinc-
ing minority report in favor Of con
verting the Soldiers Orphans Home,
in blind Asylum after some
! discussion, the matter was referred
again to the committee on State
affairs.
The people of different portions
Of the State, seem to have been
aroused on the subject of tax
ing Church property, and each
morning, batch Of remonstrances
against such measure, is received.
The following appropriation bills
have been passed during the last
week: ITO the Soldiers Orphans
/ Home, $4,000; to Insane Hospital,
$1,000 for machinery ; Northern
Hospital for Insane, $4,000 for
current expenses to the Blind
/ Institute, $4,000 for current eX-
peuses to the Industrial School for
Boys, $4,000 for current expenses;
10 Hospital for Insane at Madison,
sos ,OO0 for current expenses. and
4 $4,000 for boilers; to Superiuteud-
ent of Public Property, s. 800 for
the purchase of stationary for State
officers and legislature to the Upi-
versity, $4,000 for building an
additional edifce for Scientific pur-
poses; to St. Ameliouns Orphan
Asylum, of Milwaukee, $1,000; to
the Home Of the Friendless in Mil
waukee. $500; to the Milwaukee
Orphan Association, $1,000; to st.
