GarlDaldl's Marriage.

The marriage Of Garibaldi, which has
just been annullcd In the Court of Appeals,
took place under romantic circumstances
which are more widely known In their
general burden than in their detail.
Everybody in Europe is aware how, on the
morrow of his wedding with Signora Raj
mondi, he took his departure for Caprcra,
and never again consented to see his wife.
How the unfortunate affair was brought
about only few friends remember. 1t
was at the opening of the campaign Of 1869.
Garbaldi was scouting the country between
Farose and Como, and was about to give
his troops the order to advance, when a
handsome young lady on horseback entered
the camp and requested the favor of an all
diencc. She was the eldest daughter of
the Marcbcsc Raimond by sister Of the
celebrated cantratrice, SignQra Ronconi;
and She brought to Garibaldi, on what
seemed to be undoubtcd authority, the
news of a concentration of Austrian troops,
under Gen. Urban, on the Coma route.
Garibaldi protitcd by the advice, went
through the Borgho Iico pass, and swept
the Austrans past the lake. The young
Iris on horseback, however, had made such
an impression on his stout heart, that,
directly after the peace of Vilafranco, he
proceeded to the Castcllo Fino, the scat of
the Raimondi family, where he was hailed
Us the liberator of Italy by his fair friend
among all others; seeing which on the same
evening, he asked her hand from her
father. 1t may be doubted if even h prin
cess would not have considered such pro-
posal from the hero just then highly flat
tering. When it isadded that the young
lady was All illcgitlmatc child, and the
Marchcse an enthusiastic patriot, it will be
readily understood with what pride and
joy the latter at once gave his consent.
Indeed, he never seemed to imagine thrt
his daughter might see the proffercd match
with other feelings than himself. He
fastened to announce it to the world, and
fixed al carly day for the marriage. Mean
while the girl was silent and abashcd, us
if overwhelmed with sense of the honor
that befcll her, and as the day of the cerc-
mony approached, she seemed TO be unwell
and took 10 her bed. Numerous friends
had been summoned. The illustr ous
bridcgroom's best man had come on pur-
pose from the end Of Italy, and the whole
country was in expectation Of the event.
AS the young lady, although she complain
ed of general weakness, had evidently no
serious almcut, the Marchcsc insisted that,
OIL the appointed day, she should he carried
to the chapel in IN arm chair. She tainted
on being brought to the altar, but the we'd
ding took place none the less, and thus she
became the Generals wife. 1t was on The
following morning that Garibald left the
castle, Oh the unhappy girls confession that
she had been false to him. She has since
lived in Switzerland i'll close re tircmcnt.

Tho Chinese Cuisine,

nesc feast. 1t Is one of the 'grcat classic
dishes" forming the pieces de resistance
of all official banquet, and is eaten either in
the form Of n joint, garnislled with crabs,
or served up in small pieces in cups placed
before each guest. The consumption of
rats, though it seems to he somewhat on
the decline, is the cause of very important
traffic in the principal towns of certain dis
called Hing -Loumg-Kai. Here these ami
nals may be seen in enormous multiludes

chickens and ducks and geese. They are

Besides the dishes peculiar to the Cclcstials

their mode of cooking and eating foods NJ =
known to our cuisine. Hams, forins!ancc

taste Of wood much appreciated by the
gourmcts. Broad beans are fcrmcntcd, and
after being mixed with salt, form very

Finally, the habit of eating "rottcn eggs"
which sounds 80 strange to European ears,
is explained by showing that the so-calcd
rotten eggs is only ducks egg preserved

Infant Labor.

The inspectors of factories in Prussia are
working hard to put down infant labor. AT
Berlin, thirty-three factories have, ceased
employing children, and in the others
there arc only nine under fourteen years Of
age. The same has been the case in nearly
I'll the provinces, notably In the district Of
Frankfort on-the- Oder, where In the $50
cloth factories, employing $4,000 hands,
there are now only 1900 minors. this being
diminution Of twenty-three percent
since 1876; while in the districts Of Cologne,
Coblentz and Treves, the total number Of
children employed has fallen from 1884 to
4237, and Of these all but sixty7one are.
over fourteen years Of age. Theinspectors
take great care, also, that proper sanitary
arrangements are made, and that the mas
ters do all they can to protect their work
men from accident. One curious fact
brought out by the inspector In Westphalla
is the wandering dispositio Of the work
men, He instances q lnanufact6ry, ems
ploying 1000 hands, In which from one to
two hundred Of them leave every month, 81

The "GcrIllnn,D

The german, which many persons regard
as wcarisomc dance, despite its abundant
waltzinS and variety, is greatly rclishrd by
number OF young persons, particularly
young women, to whom the. diversity an,
quantity, not to speak of the "favors, " are
n special attraction. 1t gets its name from
the country whence it was borrowed, and
was the ragc there for many seasons, but of
late had been neglected until this winter,
when it has sprung into new councnancc,
and is danced with more fcrv0r and zcst
than ever. The german has received SO
many celebrations and improvements in
this country that il Is quite another thAr
from what it was nj its first introduction
into American society. IL has always been
fashionable on this side the sea, because
they who give german need Il large draw
ing or ball room, provide Il luxurious supper
and expensive fayors, demanding, Of course,
n spacious house and liberal income.
Fashion means money and plenty OF it. If
there be money enough, other things like
good taste, dclicacy, titncss-rankcd as
secondary in exclusively modish circles
may be modified or omitted. They who
are cnamOrcd OF dancing ought to he attach
cd to the german, which usually lasts from
four to six hours. The whole evening, or
rather the whole night, is devoted to it.
1t begins late and ends curly-in the morn
ing. Not infrcqucnlly the dance is inter
ruptcd i'll order to partake Of an early
breakfast, physical exhaustion requiring
sustainment from food and wine. Carriages
containing martyrs to the german are seen
rolling home by tho light Of the dawn, and
so tired are they that they not seldom fail
asleep Oh the way, and with difficulty
drag themselves TO bed, where they spend
most of the day. The protractcd dance Is
certainly dissipation, for it dissipn,cs
youth, freshness, health, and great deal
Of money. Any young woman who will
dance the german hubitualiy for five Win
ters can be sure of looking prcmaturcy
old. One feature of the dance this season
is that it has drawn many persons of rlpc
maturity into it,. Usually in most cities,
society people cease to dance when they
get married, and even bachelors rclinquisl
terpsichorcan he, sure 8 a. thirty or there
abouts, Now, the german is led not rarely
by grandfaLhers, and mothers move in the
same figure with their married or marriage
able daughters. Perhaps the german is re-
newing our youth. 1t should do something
of the sort as compensation for the youth it
luys waste.

Near Litbonia, De Kalb county. Georgia,
couple of runaway lovers were married
standing Oh log in the swamp. They
engaged the services of Rev. Il. III. Clarke,
who reached the rendezvous about nine
o'clock at night. The lovers were hidden in
the swamp, and as the reverend gentleman
passed through whistlcd to him ard called
out: "Iiere we are!" In few moments
they were man and wife, and went on their
way rejoicing. MIR. Joseph Pcntz took a
rifle to his wedding at st. Marks Cap
Texas. The sexton tried to persuade him
to leave it at the door on entering the
church but he persisted in carrying il
across his shoulder rs he walked with his
bride up to the altar rail- His explanation
was that rival suitor had threatened to
shoot him on this occasion, and he meant
to be prepared for defence. At Port Town
send, Oregon, suitor took his liccnce, the
clergyman, and Winchester rifle to the
girls residence, where they were married
in the front yard, he keeping oil father and
uncle with his weapon.

Is more interesting than simply TO pcrsonify

out of sight. Many of the scenes In song

Ladies' Habits

The shorter and tighter ladies habit
skirts are the safer they are; also there
should be two straps of clastic---one for the
right foot and the other to 60 on the heel
of the left foot. BY these means, if the
habit be well cut, there is no possibility Of
the skirt getting caught on the leaping- g-head.
have had several falls and have always
come clear from the saddle. Another
safety is to havo the leaping-head quite
close up to the pommcl round which the
right log is put. Saddle-makers arc very
fond of putting 1t low down and making It
long and curved, which prevents ladies
being kicked or buckcd off, but which keeps
them fixed like vice, so that If their horse
comes down they cannot get away from
him. If the pommel is small, high up,
and, close to tho other, 1t ought to be quite
sufficient for good rider, and at the same
time, If the horse falls, 1t leaves you free
to get away from him, for 1t ls almost Inn
possible for a tlady1to throw herself out Of
the saddle when the horse falls and thus get
cleor of him as most men do. Tie number
Of hunting ladies has increased 80 much of
late years that every precaution ought to
de taken to avoid possible accidents.
