Garibaldi at Rome.

Few men after career of such vicisstudes have
such triumph in their old age as Garibaldi has
had at Rome. Elected to the national Parlia
ment, his arrival at the imperial city has been a
matter of considerable anxiety to the Italian gov
eminent and to his own friends. No preparations
were made to receive him, either by the city OF
Rome or by the government, except to concentrate
troops; but the common people knew their guest,
and assembled in immense numbers at the railway
station. The crush was overwhelming, and the
people were wild at the sight of the thin and Grip
pied old man, still wearing the red shirt and blue
cap. Garibaldi begged them to preserve order.
eff they loved him, and they did as well as they
could. They followed him to his hotel, and new
crowds demanded his appearance at the balcony
again and again. There was little disorder. how
ever except that incident to press of people.
The next day be took his seat in the Assembly.
The galleries of the legislative ball, holding two
thousand people, were crowded with the elite of
Rome, and ladies were admitted to the floor
When the General limped through the door the
liberals sent up deafening cheers, in spite OF the
efforts of the presiding officer. 1t had been sedu
oHsly reported by the priests that Garibaldi would
not take the oath of allegiance, so that there was
intense excitement as he took his seat. AS soon
as the man who was speaking at the moment had
finished the Speaker addressed Garbaldi he rose,
and, partly supported by his fellow members, lifted
swear" Both the conservative and liberal sides
of the house then applauded vociferously. The
simplicity and spontaneity of the demonstration
added greatly to its significance.
Within week Garibaldi had an interview with
Victor Emanuel, and he turned the conversation,
not on the victories and provinces he had won for
that ungrateful monarch, but on his own plan for
recaiming the barren campagna around Rome
Garibad is all absorbed in this project, and for the
time taboos politics and religion. His idea is to
organise company with capital of 500, 100000,
on which the government shall guarantee per
cent, and, by turning the course of the Tber, he
hopes to produce climatic changes and rrigate the
plain more perfectly, and to recover from the riv-
er's bed the treasure lost and concealed there in
supposed to be the golden candlestick which Titus
carried off from Jerusalem. Garibaldi's anxiety is
to meet engineers and capitalists, not politicians.
He is much pleased with his reception, light
hearted in manner, and still very active.

The Observer says: We were glad to meet in New
York, this week, President Bliss, of the Syrian
College ct Beirut, and to learn that his work of
collecting funds was measurably successful Dur
ing the past eleven years $3.50 600 have been raised
The College was opened in 1866, and thirty-six
have graduated from the literary department. and
thirty from the medical, the latter being recog
nzed physicians by the Turkish Government.
Students come from Tyre, Sidon, Jerusalem and
Egypt, far up the Nile, some Mohammedans and
some nominal Christians bitterly opposed to the
truth Two were so bigoted that they sat with
their fingers in their ears at college prayers Both
were converted and became heralds of the truth.
Some of these students were prepared for college
by the Bishop of Jerusalem, and some by the Jes.
uits The latter lost these students by not furnish
ing SO ample a curriculum of study as does the
Syrian College. The College building measures
1855 by 10. There is also medical building and
an observatory. The transit of Venus was sue
cessfully observed and reported. TO

Drs DeKoven and Jaggar,-From the votes
thus tar given by the Standing Committees of the
diOceses, it seems probable that Dr. Jaggar low
church, will be confirmed as Bishop Of the Epis-
copal Church for Southern Ohio. There is, how
ever, decided opposition expressed by some who
vote to confirm DR.. DeKoven. AS to the latter, it
is probable his confirmation will be defeated on ac-
count of his Remaining views. Enough, however,
vote for him to reveal a strange state of opinion
in church which processes to be Protestant.
