Garibaldis Marriage.

Garibaldi's marriage took place on
Monday, January 26, at Maddalena. in
the office of the syndic of the munich
pality. All the members of Garibaldi's
family - General Menotti Garibaldi,
Madame Italia Bedeschini. Garibaldi,
Stefano Canzio, Madame Teresita Carl
baldiC anzio, Manlio ct Clelia Carl
baldi-were present at the ceremony.
Five old friends were the only other
witnesses. Garibaldi appeared radiant.
He was seated in his rolling chair,
wrapped in a white poncho, and wore a
large red silk handkerchief around his
neck. The bride, Dona Francesca, was
dressed in white. There was no relig
ious ceremony. After the civil contract
was signed, the party sat down to din
ner, and toasts were drunk to the health
of the newly. married couple, and to
the realization of Garibaldi's hopes Of
Italian unity. Many congratulatory
kilograms were received at Caprera
during the day, and Garibaldi sent the
following despatch to Mancini, who
was his attorney in the proceedings for
annulling his marriage with Signora
Raimondi:-"My illustrious friend: l
owe you more than life-I owe to you
the power of accomplishing sacred
duty. Say to your beloved family that
/ belong to them as a brother, and
that feel all the gratitude of which
my soul is capable.

$4,000 For Il Drink of Water.

In one of the holly contested fights
in Virginia, during the war. federal
officer tell in front of the confederate
breastworks. While lying there
wounded, and crying for water, con-
federate soldier (James Moore, of
Burke county, North Carolina,j de-
clared his intention of supplying him
with u drink. The bullets were flying
thick from both sides, and Moore's
friends tried to dissuade him from such
u hazardous enterprise. Despite re-
monstance and danger, however, Moore
leaped the breastworks, canteen in
hand, reached his wounded enemy and
gave him drink. The federal, under
u sense of gratitude for the timely SER
vice, took out his gold watch and Of
fered it to his benefactor, but it was
refused. The officer then asked the
name of the man who had braved such
danger to succor him. The name was
given, and Moore returned to his posi-
ton behind the embankmeut. They
saw nothing more of each other.
Moore was subsequently wounded and
lost limb in one of the engagements
in Virginia, and returned to his home
in Burke county. A few days ago he
received a communication from the
federal soldier to whom he had given
the "cup of cold water" on the occa
sion alluded to, announcing that he
had settled on him the sum of $40 900,
to be paid in four annual installments
of $4,000 each. Investigation has es-
tablished the fact that there is no mis-
take or deception in the matter.-Home

The Ruffianism of Old Dublin,

Tradition tells how Fighting Fitz.
gerald, an exquisite and duellist OF the
last century, dealt with the "bucks," y
plague then infesting the streets OF
Dublin, and, indeed, the streets OF
every town in Ireland. These "bucks"
were half-bred young fellows of some
means and high animal spirits, whose
sole occupation consisted in making
town-life intolerable to quiet people.
Parliament was more than once COM
PEELED to frame penal enactments with
the view of restraining their peculiar
ruffianism; but as there was no proper
~ constituted police force to enforce
them these statutes were of small ef-
feet.
Among the tricks of the Dublin bucks
was this: One of them would take his
stand in the middle of crossing on q
dirty day, and, drawing his sword,
thrust everybody who wanted to pass
into the mud. It Yves a common thing
to see half dozen or more of these un.
pleasant sentries lining leading thor
oughfare all ready to afford each other
support. Nor we're they content with
merely obstructing the passage. They
knocked off hats, ripped up garments
and pricked the limbs of the wearers
with the points of their weapons, and
broke ribald jests on them the while
to the vast amusement of the ragamuf
fins who used to collect in the vicinity.
If anybody turned on one of these bull
lies the rest would rush up and form a
circle round him; then selzing him by
the collar and the arms they would
prick him about the legs until they
considered him punished sufficiently.
Fitzgerald proposed to some of his
brother exquisites and tire-eaters that
they should clear the streets of the me-
trOpolis of these pests. 1t was just
the sort of proposal to suit such daring
spirits, and an association was imme-
diately formed to carry it out. Like
their leader, they were consnmmate
swordsmen, and handles of the first wa
ter-the Dandy being in all essentials
the antipodes of the Buck-a dis,inc-
ton which people who write about the
Ireland of the past are very apt to for
get.
The association set to work most
heartily, and in this way: Whenever
fine afternoon followed showery
morning they would sally forth in
knots of four or five, each being fol-
lowed by lusty valet carrying an oak
sapling. On reaching the haunts of the
bucks the servants kept the rabble off
while the exquisites did the work they
mad undertaken. For couple of
months few days passed without three
or four ARRAYS between the bucks and
the dandies, in which the former in
variably came off secondbest. Ere
long the mainstay of the bucks, the
mob, turned against them too. This
meant that defeat was sure to be fol-
lowed by hooting and pelting with mud
and stones. Then the pleasant pastime
of blocking the thoroughfares in broad
daylight was abandoned.-Ws Core

The Dentistry OF the Pacific.

81. W. B." of New London, Conn,
evidently retired sea captain. writes
to tue Sailors Magazine as follows:
:" In my early days while serving as
an officer on board whalsship, and
cruising near Japan, we struck very
large whale. On receiving the harpoon
he sounded to q depth of fifty fathoms,
soon returning to the surface and show
ing at first but the point of his jaw,
which We noticed bore q remarkable ap-
pearance. Then coming squarely up
with his back downward, he made fu-
rious charge upon us, so narrowly miss
ing the boat as to leave portions OF his
black skin upon the gnnwale as he went
dashing madly on. He soon went into
his furry. which brought us to our
oars again for safety. Rapidly describ-
ing a wide circle u few times in his
fearful death struggle, he closed the
drama by rolling fin out. Securing
our prize alongside of the ship, cutting
in commenced, and the great ugly jaw
was placed in position for the dentist
by being dashed to ringbolts upon deck.
II was found to be badly fractured near
it's point, which was covered with q
prowlh Of sea clans, such as are seen
upon logs floating about the sea. The
injury had evidently been the result of
an encounter with Ole of his own
stripe. l did not always fare as well +,
losing on two occasions the head of my
boat, once by u stroke Of the Jaw, and
again 10y sharp cut of the hukes. 1t
had been remarked that phictcr is Il
fighter. Two whale ships have, within
nv own experience, been attacked and
wrecked by him. Fifty years since,
the Esser, Captain Pollard, of Nam
Atucket, was thus destroyed i'll the South
Pacific, the ships company taking to
the boats. SO the ship Amn alexander,
Captain Duboise, of New Bedford,
twenty years since, also in the South
Pacific, attacked large whale, with
three boats, two of which he soon de-
moished, the crews escapin gto the ship
in the third. An attempt to capture
him from the ship resulted in the yes.
sells destruction, the whale rushing at
her head on, crushing in her side, so
that she soon filled. ~ few days later
a whale was captured by another ship,
with the harpoons and lines OF the ann
.itS INtUGT Slllt ihSb W Ito WuS
found TO he severely injured, Offering
no resistance when taken. An exami-
nation showed very defective condi-
ton of the teeth, which doubtless ac-
counts for his belligerent action. But
fcS weeks since the ship Commodore
Nrris, of New Bedford, was reported
oil the Azores, as having fastened to u
large whale which turned upon the
second mate, smashing his boat into
match wood, and 30 severely fracturing
his leg rs to render amputation neces-
sary. These are the only instances
within my own knowledge and expert
ence Of whales on being struck turning
SO savagely on the boats. and their in
cliua1on to fight was doubtless the re-
suit Of the defective condition of their
teeth, and consequently toothache.'

jelly and roll it mp, being careful to
place the outer edge of the roll against
something so 1T will not unroll.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and

Led Into Crime.

During the last month or two the
daily papers have reported number of
crimes committed by boys and girls,
and these not the acts of petty larceny
to which an ignorant child would be
tempted by want, bat burglary and
murder.
One lad shot another in New Eng
land town, not from any malice or re-
venge, but simply, as it seemed, be-
cause he fancied it a heroic thing to do.
A girl of fourteen, in the Dutch town
of Lancaster. Penn, deliberately poi
soned her step-mother and sister.
A noticeable fact about these juvenile
crimes is that they are frequently COM
mitted by children belonging to edu-
Gated families, not by the very poor.
There seems to be no adequate motive
for them, but kind of bravado; the
wish to do dramatic thing which will
bring them into notice.
We believe that one cause of this in
crease of crime among lads who are
scarcely more than children, is the pub
LEGATION in respectable papers the mi
mute details of trials for murder, for
gerry, etc.
1ucso newspapers Are OtuerWlSo mOr-
al in tone, and are placed in the hands
of their children by parents who would
protect them with horror from the in
fuences of low theaters or flash novels.
Yet no variety show or fiction, however
unclean, could be more debasing or
sure in its effects, than the newspaper
accounts of trials for capital crimes,
set forth as they are in the most dra-
matte and attractive shape.
The minds of pure boys and innocent
girls are thus familiarized with shame
less vices, which, if they had lived q
generation earlier, would not have
been 80 much as named in their hear
ing. Parents should exercise careful
scrutiny over the newspaper which
forms the daily mental food of their
children.
Remember, boys and girls, when you
are tempted to read the report Of that
"Great Murder Trial." that you are
staining your own souls with a blot
which, like the blood on Lady Mac.
beth's hand, will never come out.

This is strongly in opposition to the

has never ceased to mourn for Prince
Albert. and gusging her own feelings
by those of Eugene, who has alec lost

Let Them Read.

kooMe Olu-luSulOueu peOple tuluh III u
IA to allow children to read. They
should always be "busily employed ="
they think. But in our opinion, a
child should be allowed to read for the
pleasure of it, like its elders; it would
no more do to prescribe its literary
amusements on carefully-arrange
educational system of our own than to
direct its games and romps, and to
convert them into a judicious course Of
gymnastics. But, just as we may,
without losing any of the healthy free
dom OF its pleasure, encourage games
which will help, not hinder, its bodily
growth, so we may encourage it when
it reads for amusement in books which
will expand it's imagination and SYM
pathies, and widen its mental range.
We need not even encourage, it is
enough not to discourage, not to entice
it from better literature by surround
ing it with story books which only
children can read. Give it the run of
your own library, and let it alone.
The selection must be small indeed if
1t does not find better children's book
there than those specially written as
such. Such works as the Waverley
novels, for instance, children will read
again and again, till they all but know
them by heart; and grown people, tax
ing them up for the sake of the memories
OF their youth, discover that they are
new to their maturer apprehension.
but it is not only the grown-up story
books which make good children's
books; the child allowed the run of the
library finds for itself plenty of others.
often its choice is surprise and puz-
zie to its elders, who find it calling one
book amusing and another too difficult
and too dull for it when they would
nave reversed tho description. A

cover with cold until the sweetbresds are
firm. If liked, rich lard as for frying
before you put in the second water;
stir in q very little water the second
time. When they are tender add for
each sweetbresd q heaping teaspoonful
of butter, q little chopped parsley, pep
per, salt and little cream. Let them

TO boil eggs properly, place them in
dish having a close cover; pour over
boiling water; cover and set away from
the fire for ten to fiftesn minutes.
Eggs cooked in this way are more deli
cate and digestible than when allowed
to boil in the old way. The heat of
the water cooks them slowly to a jelly
like consistency, leaving the yolk hard
