Garibaldi mt Home.

Garibaldi is the great friend OF the ora
ingmen; and is president of a cooperative
labor society which they have formed here.
They regard him with something like dol
airy, and the great ecret Of his il t1uen g u
that he makes himself one OF them, anu ia
never ashamed to own that he himself was
once workingman. He is now a. Ca orers,
but remember well a visit made him las,
year, at the villa put at his disposition out
side the Porta Pia. The establishment
seemed to have the free-anG easy
style belonging to democratic general.
and though the house was open, 1t was
some time before We could zee any one to
whom to communicate our desire to see the
General. We were ust taken into ii q din
ing-rOom, which, though pretty, pleasant
looking place, with freecoed walls, locked
rather untidy, the floor being covered with
large pieces OF paper and bits of ht rbage
left from dinner. We were finally III hered
into the presence of the General, wncm We
found seated on sofa, light gray poncha
thrown over him and gold embroidered
smoking cap on his head. He received Us
very cOurteously, though without rising,
the crutches beside him indicating too well
the rheumatism which prevented him doing
SO, while his hands were very much
drawn up from this same disease. He
spoke English quite we'll, and On our
asking HIM if he did not at one time live
at Staten islanu' NO replied, I'm, yes,
made candles there" Everything seemed
to be on the most democratic footing, and
while we were there peddler with his box
was called from the road and brought into
the room to allow the ten year old little girl
of the General to select q thimble and other
implements of needlework from his store.
One OF his children, magnificent little boy
OF two years, dressed in gray frock, wit,
over it large crimson silk apron, rushed
into the room, his hands full of beautiful
little yellow roses, which he deposited in
our laps, after cutting various capers round
the room, apparently to exhaust his super
nuous vitality; on the suggestion OF his
father he rushed out again to renew his
supply of roses.-ItaliaM Correspondence of
The Cincinnati Gazette.

Cure for Small POx.

A correspondent of the Stockton (Cal. J
Herald speaks as follows concerning the
small pox and its remedy:
81 herewith append receipt which has
been used to my know. edge in hundreds of
cases. 1t will prevent or cure the small pox
though the pittings are filling. When Jen-
ner discovered COW pox in England, the
world Of science hurled ana valanche of fame
upon his head; but when the most scientific
school of medicine-that of Paris-pub-
lished this recipe as panacea for small pox
it passed unheeded; it IS as untailing as
tate. and conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by we'll person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever Here it Is as |
have used it to cure the small pox, wheu
learned physicians said the patient must die:
'Sulphate of zinc one grain, foxglove (digi-
talls) one grain, half teaspoonful of sugar,
mix with two tablespoontuls of water.
When thoroughly mixed add four ounces of
water. Take spoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours For
child smaller doses, according to age. If
counties would compel physicians to use
this. there would be no need Of pest houses
II you value advice and experience, use
this for that terrible disease"
We learn on reliable authority that the
above cure has been successfully used a,
Fond du Lac recently in the worst cases OF
small pox, and we feel it duty incum bent
upon us to place the remedy before our
readers.

Fire.

The residence of Herbert S. Cox, on the
'old Wessert place." in the western limits
of the Sd ward, was burned to the ground
Wednesday morning of this week. A por-
ton of the household effects were saved,
but the building was totally destroyed
Mr.. Cox got up about daylight and built
fire as usual. In q few minutes upon op-
ening the stairway door, he discovered the
roof all in flames, and thu destr uction of
the building followed in very short time.
1t is the general superstition that the roof
caught from fire that must have been
smouldering in the chimney all night, as
sufficient Time had not elapsed to have had
it catch from tn 3 fire be had just made in
the stove. There was an insurance OF
$1,000 on the property, $500 on the huose

St. Bernard,s Fair.

The ladies of St. Bernard Catholic
church open their Fair this "wednesday
evening at Turner Hall and the sale will
continue during the week. The ladies have
provided splendid array of fancy articles,
as we'll as a supply Of useful goods and
wares to which they call the special atten-
ton of their friends. The utmost courtesy
will be shown by he ladies to ali visitors
to the Fair, and each evening OF the enter
tainment may be considered period of
fine enjoyment to all. The object of the
Fair is most audable one, icing to liqui :
date in part the debt on the new St. Bern
ard church. 10 this end we hope the fair
will be a success, and with the purpose they
have in view the ladies may reasonably
expect to have full audience with pethor-
ic pockets every evening.

Another Old Land.Mark Cone

The old st. Bernard Catholic Church has
been leveled to tie ground, and the place
which knew it knows it no more. The old
building, standing as it did after its re-.
moval close to the new ST. Bernard Church
edihce, added to the hazard of the new
building in case of fire, and it was thought
best to remove it, not only for this reason
but FOR the additional one of improving the
appearance Of the surroundings. We learn
that the original structure of st. Bernar d 8
was erected in l845, good solid frame
building 30x40. To this several wings and
an addition were added in after years.

Father Healy was the first permanent priest
in charge of st. Demands church. Then

Gas Matters,

The communica ton in our last paper
signed "Justlce" in relation to gas bills
and the price of gas is not fair statement,
and we would say in justice to all concerned
that the bills of the Gas Company against
the city are published, we believe as other
bills presented to the Board of Street Com
missIoners. They are all published when
allowed. The price charged for gas BY the
Company to private consumers is less than
it ever has been prior TO the reduction made
last June, and the price charged tie city is
as low as in any city in the interior of the
State, and lower than most of the cities
charge. 1t is no: possible for gas COM
pany to furnish gas at as low a rate in a
small town where the consumption is not
large as in town like Chicago where the
consumers are reckoned by thousands. We
have no interest in gas matters further than
to see our gas works sustained when this
can be done without detriment or Injustice
to the consumers and tax payers. As a
public improvement and great convenience
to business men and householders we are in
favor of maintaining our gas works, but
have no desire to see this done at an I'm.
reasonable expense to any one. We GER
| tanly have no inclination to have things
done in the dark relative 10 the allowing
of gas bills by the Board of Street Commits
sioners, and we think on moments refec-
ton our correspondent Justice will see his
mistake in charging that the gas bills and
accounts are not presented and allowed by
the Board as all other bills and accounts
are. To our mind it would be disgrace to
the city if our gas works should have to
close for want of maintenance, but at the
same time we are in favor of compelling the
Gas Company to furnish gas at the lowest
living rates.
