General Garibaldi.

A pleasure seeker in Rome gives this description of Garibaldi, on whom he called at his modest villa In 8 mo- ment we were ushered into the presence of General Geribaldi. He sits at the end of long dining table before him pile of dispatches, papers and cards that the morning has brought him. He rises as we enter-rises with so much pain that we wish he had kept his seat rises and leans on his crutch to receive us. We see before us man of just about the middle height-a man of whom 1t is said : |" He has the head of lion and the heart of an angel" Indeed, you would would not wish to see finer head. A strong, manly, determined face, with grizzled beard and hair. On his head he wears a smoking cap of black and rod embroidery, and most striking of all in costume is the traditional red shirt, with it's flowing collar and black, loose knot at the throat. This is the man of the charmed life. This man, who puts forth to greet us hand sadly drawn up with rheumatism, is the man who when he heads an army rides where the fight is thickest and comes away with life. This is the man to whom the children of Italy are taught to look as the savior of the country. In cheery voice General Garibaldi bids us sit Q moment, while he disposes of some business before him, and then turning to us he begins the conversation.

Jenny Lind at Niagara.

Capt. Thomson, of Niagara Falls, has been telling Eli Perkins about Jenny Lind's first visit to the falls, in which the great artists fervent piety is mani. tested. The captain made Jenny's ac- quaintance when he commanded a Mis- sissippi steamer, and on the singers vis- iting Niagara and learning the captain resided there, asked him to chaperone her about the points of interest, and, as he says: T took her to see 'em. And, oh, what a soul she had When she saw the rapids above the falls, the timid woman trembled, put her hand to her brow, and said: T thank God for this r As we passed on to Goat island, " continued the captain, "the people fol- lowed in crowds, and Jenny said: What are they all looking at, captain ? Looking at you, Miss Lind,' said I. You are one of Gods wonders, too. It's shame, she said, for all these crowds to be looking at poor me, when the great Creator is all around them [ When we got across the island and stood on the point where Terrapin tower used to overlook the Horseshoe fall and the boiling caldron beneath, Jenny was transfxed with amazement. 1 had her dt LII HI AAAAt, Ouu AC1b 1t glide away from me. All at once she dropped on her knees. She prayed the Lord, if there was an unbeliever in the world, to let. his eyes look on the Gre ator's work before her-'let him come and see the power and majesty of the Almighty's workl' tell you," said the captain, wiping his bronzed forehead with @ blue bandanna, "this Swede girl had the biggest soul in her of any woman I've ever pointed out the Horse shoe fall to-blast my eyes if she hasn't. To show it," continued the captain, didn't she go and marry that Gold smith just because his father educated her, and she wanted to show her grati- tudes And didn't I get letter after she'd been married to the Jew a year, saying: I respect him, and I think l love him., which always means that a woman don't love man, but feels it her duty not to say so2'

SeIf.SaCrincing,

This is true story. The happy cir cumstance occurred one Sunday even ing, He escorted her to and from church, and upon arriving at her home their discussion of the sermon and the extreme heat suggested an invitation, readily accepted by Charles, that they step into the house and partake of 8 cooling glass of lemonade. She led him to the dining-room, and there found naughty brother Ben about to squeeze the last lemon in the house for his own individual benefit Calling him aside she induced Ben, by means of sundry threats and promises, to dissect the lemon and make Charles and herself a glass. A self-sacrifcing thought struck her " No, Ben," said she, " put the juice of the whole lemon into Charlie B glass and bring me glass of water. He won't notice it-there is no light in the parlor P
 Ben was making one good strong quietly slipped out and remarked: say, Ben put the juice of the entire lemon in your sisters glass and bring mo some ice water-there is no light in the parlor and she won't notice it ''
 Ben's forte is in obeying orders.
 With merry twinkle in his eye he drank the lemonade, then carried them each glass of water, which they drank with much apparent relish, asking each other, between sips, eff it was sweet enough ?" And naughty brother Ben, with the taste of that lemonade in his mouth, stood out in the hall and laughed till his sides ached, to hear them assure each other that it was "just right so palatable and so refreshing l"

Flies.

A census of the dies has not yet been taken, owing to the expense to the gov ernment and to the disgracefnl deficiency of our system of arithmetic. It Is thought, however, that there are in New York city alone upward of 5000, ,000,- 00O, ,OO0, GOO, GOO, ,0OO,00O, ,OO0 full grown flies, exclusive of ancient chieftains, pappooses and squaws. This is an un- derestimate, but few billions more or less make no practical difference. It Is enough that there are too many. The vitality of fly is wonderful. Benjamin Franklin says that if you put a fly in Q bottle of wine, cork him up and keep him for hundred years, and then open the bottle he will come ont insensibly drunk; but that, put in the sun, he will revive and make 8 direct line for your ear.
 We have not yet tried this experiment, but know that Franklin must be right. The fly is the most faithful of all crea. lures. Dogs desert their masters and horses try to run away, but the fly d. ways returns to us. Leaving your nos- trils or the left corner of your eye, fly will appear to forget your existence; but his fidelity is greatly abused. He will oOhI dIOluo bu0 IOOul, Ou bu0 WILL dow pane, fight with his rivals and coquet with his female acquaintances; but when you expect it least the same fly will suddenly return to the same spot. This is especially the case in the early morning, when you wish to sleep. Then is the favorite time of the fly to show his agility and to compel the slumberer to rival the auickness of his movement. Hyenas and tigers can be tanned, parrots can be educated to watch over infants and cats to suckle mice but the fly is faithful to the instincts of his race. One of the best of the drama lists of Queen Eizabeth's era, wishing to give an idea of perfectly wild na- ture, could only say that it was as "un- tamable as fies." What could be more expressive? Educated feas are com mon, but an educated fly is an un- known creature. They do not need education, for they know too much al- ready. They have eyes and intellect enough to make trysting place of the point of your nose, bridal chamber of your ear and battle-ground of your whole head. Flies are particularly fond of heads which are hairless, but we have yet to learn of bald headed man who did not regard fly with rage.- NeaO York Herald.

Under the Wagon.

"Come, wife, says good old Farmer Gray, "Put on your things; 'tis market day. Let's be off to the nearest town There and back ere the sun goes down. Spot No, we'll leave old Spot behind" But Spot he parked and Spot he whined, And soon made up his doggish mind
 To steal away under the wagon. Away they went at a good round pace, And joy came into the farmers face. "Poor Spot" said he, "did want to como, But I'm very glad he's left at homo. He'll guard the barn aEd guard the cot, And keep the cattle out of the lot" "Pm not so sure of that" growlOd Spot,
 The little deg under the wagon. The farmer all his produce sold And got his pay in yellow gold, Then started home, just after dark Home, through the lonely forest. Hark ! A robber springs from behind tree; Your money or else your life !! said he. The moon was out, yet he didn't see
 The little dog under the wagon. Old Spot he parked, old Spot he whineA. And Spot he grabbed the thief behiAd And dragged him down in mud and dirt. He tore bis coat and tore his shirt He held him with & whisk and bound, And he couldn't rise from the miry ground; While his legs and arms the farmer bound
 And tumbled him into the wagon. Old Spot he saved the farmers life, The farmers money, the farmers wife; And now 8 hero, grand and gay, A silver collar he wears to- day; And everywhere his master goes, Among his friends, among his foes, He follows upon his horny toes,

forgiven many of the paltry dollars claimed, but this claim for flesh and blood would not be forgone jot nor tittle."
 You are telling me true i'
 It is no time to do otherwise now. When we quarreled told him he was no son of mine, and he swore he would not bear my name; he left, and left DO trace to track him by, though I tried hard at the time. Some ten years ago heard that he had taken his mothers name and was calling himself Lambert Morrison; whether the information was true or not I cannot say; but, true or false, that is the last have ever heard.".
 "Go you out into the world and seek my boy till you find him; seek as I sought you. in poverty, hunger, dirt, sorrow and madness, for weary, weary years. Bring him to me only and I'll forgive you every penny that you wronged me of." The father spoke, and, speaking, told the sole object of his life's secret. Money is nothing to man going down to the grave, but love and kin all.
 "Already the bread has returned" said the farmer, detaining Asahel Pen cost, who was turning to leave the house. "Your son." he continued, ad- dressing the invalid on the sofa, " is in New York, if Lambert Morrison and the handsome, bright boy Morris Pencost, I remember, be one and the same. Wife, get those letters. It was he who nursed our boy in his last illness and close his eyes, might have known it. They were playfellows, and he would not see his friend suffer uncared for. and he had too sorrowful remembrances to allow him to disclose his identity to us in Wayne"
 The farmer was right, and within ten days the missing son was clasped in his fathers arms and bore the third name of his life, the right Une, at last-Lam- bert Morrison Whitney.
 The fall of the proud squire was gen. erally hailed in Wayne, for he was one of those men whose temperament won few friends, and whose station repelled them. He received at his brothers hands enough to yield him modest in- come, and busted himself in the indis- tinguishable throng of the great city. Marcus Whitney lived on in Wayne. and gladly bestowed his benediction on the marriage of his son and Farmer Lin mars only remaining child Marian; that is, she was "child" to the farmer and dame, though turned of twenty-six-and peace and happiness have crowned the succeeding days of the warm hearted people so strangely thrown together.

Good Indian, Me.

The Indian chief Spotted Tail has his good points. He loved his daug inter and cherishes her memory. She was the first born and the best beloved. She fell in love with young officer at Fort Lara mic, and died of broken heart eight years ago. Her influence over her father was so overmastering, that he vowed on her deathbed that he would make peace with the whites, since it was her wish, and would never again take up arms against them. When the treaty was made he asked to have the coffin con- taining her remains brought into the council in order that her spirit might witness the fnltillment of the VOW. All these years the old chief has yearned to have her grave near his wigwam, and his wish has recently been gratifed. The body was removed from Fort Lara- mic to Spotted Tail agency, and placed in box upon four posts, in accordance with the Indian custom. The burial ser vice of the Episcopal church was read, sermon in the Dakota language was preached by the chaplain, and the box was lowered into grave in the ceme. tery near the agency.

An Indian Toilet.

No dandy of civilization is more fas- tidious in regard to his "make Up" than 8 young warrior, or buck" as he is called on the plains, whether in prepar- ing for the warpath. big feast, or an important council.
 The work of the toilet of an Indian warrior is always performed by the squaw, who takes great pride in adorn- ing the person of her owA particular "brave in the highest style of savage art. Generally the first stage of the proceeding is the painting of the fece This is an affair of the greatest impor- tance. In winter, black appears to be the favorite color; in summer, reds and yellows are regarded as the fashionable tints. Paint serves a double purpose in an Indian toilet; while it adorns the face, saves the disagreeable necessity of wash ing. As a rule, Indians have an in stinctive dislike to water, either as a beverage or for washing, and thus their faces are covered with alternate layers or crusts of dirt and paint. They say the paint preserves the skin, and keeps it from peeling off. The colors are kept in receptacles of horn, curiously carved and otherwise decorated, and they are always hung, ready for use. in every tent or lodge. The manner of decora- ton varies, of course, with individual taste. For the mere purpose of preserv- ing the skin, general wash of black in winter and vermiGon in summer will serve; but on extraordinary occasions the face is generally streaked with dashes of different colors, which is sup posed to have very fine effect.
