Garibaldi:


Rome, June 2-Garibaldi died at
Caprera at $50 o'clock this evening, of
bronchitis.
[The name of Guiseppi Garibaldi is
household word in both hemispheres,
and it's bearer was man whose rest
less spirit could not find adequate oc:-
cupation in defending the cause of tho
oppressed in his own country, but who,
sympathizing with all those who strug-
gled for liberty, boldly threw himself
into their ranks and fought with fnri-
GUS courage and unfailing devotion.
Condemned to death at the age Of "a
fer engaging in an attempt to overthrow
the government of Sa,dina, he was
next heard of taking charge of choi-
era hospital at Marseilles frem which
the nurses had fled in dismay then in
the service of the Bey of Tunis; then
in 1886 struggling in behalf Of tile
Republic of Rio Grande in South Amer
ica then assailing, at the head of an
Italian legion, the Dictator Rosas of
tBuenos Ayres, and then in, l848, among
the defenders of Rome, whose defeat
by the French sent him once more into
exile, after encount8ring and enduring
with heroic fortitnde the most terrible
hardships.
His residence in America-where lie
then settled on Staten Island; N. Y,
and engaged in the aneongenial busi-
ness of manufacturing soap aud can
dles-was irksome to a man of his ac-
tive temperament, and we find him
returning shortly after to Caprera,
where he engaged in the peaceful pur-
suit of farming.
In the war of 1859. between France
and Italy against Austria, Garibaldi
distinguished hinself as a leader of the
Chassenrs of the Alps, an independent
flying column Of some 1900 Italians.
His daring enterprise, which resulted
in the captuls of Palermo and his sub
sequent entfs into Naples with Victor
Enamel in Triumph, was the realiza-
ten of his most ardent wish--the
I union of the Italian States under one
government.
He was engaged in nuniberless other
adventures with varying success, but
always refused to accept effiee, and
finally died peacefully at his island
home after the most romantic and Won
derful career N. @. Times Demo

Propagation of Plants by Gut
tingS in Water.

The art of propagating plants by
cuttings, embraces vast number OF
very interesting facts. The method
to which we now solicit the atten-
tiou of our amateur readers, is rather
despised by the professional gardener
as being beneath his skill and atten~
ton nevertheless, it will show that
the instruction which it conveys, is
in itself amply sufficient to rescue it
from contempt, or rather, to raise 1t
high in the estimation of the lover OF
flowers.
The three ensuing months, (Jnne,
July, and August), comprise the pc.
rod wherein cuttings succeed most
freely !; and for the reason, that they
are then inclined to start into growth
and to obey the increasing stimulus
of humidity and prolonged solar
light, thereby forming calus and
quickly developing roots. During
this period also the necessary trans>
planting to their final situation in the
garden may be effected to their least
possible disadvantage; thereby se>
curing that absense OF failure in es~
tablishlng young rooted plants char.
acteristic of other months in this cli~
mate.
A cutting is prepared by passing a
knife either through, or close to, a
Joint or leaf; selecting a growing
shoot firm, rather than soft in texture
for the operation. Almost invariably
it is found that if young shoot be

overcast and rainy days. Plants
wilted nearly to death, i they do re-
cover are seldom goodfor anything
With proper tact amd opportunity,
plants need never show a dropping
leaf. If plants are ready however,
set out into their proper places cab
bages, tomatoes and such like.
This is now the month to plant
strawberries. They may be success
fully grown in any soil adapted to
garden and field crops, ground should
be well prepared and enriched.
Plants received from a distance
unless great care be exercised by the
party supplying them are almost uses
less for any chance of crop this
coming winter. To be perfectly sure
layers should be near at hand if not
on the premises, and we can only re-
ly on outsiders who send pot grown
plants. The roots once dry slowly
recuperate and great deal of the
success of strawberry growing lies in
getting quick start and their maxi
ing use of the tall months to grow
and get as large as possible. To
cultivate the strawberry for family
use; we recommend planting in beds
four feet wide with an alley two feet
wide between. These beds will ac-
commodate three rows OF plants
which may stand fifteen inches apart
each way and the outside row nine
inches from the alley. These beds
can be kept clean and the fruit can
be gathered without setting the feet
upon them. The cultureln hills is not
SO well adapted for Florida, neither
is the "mattedp system. Wilson's
Albany and Neunan's prolific have
never been surpassed by any other
kind in Florida.

where groves are grassy may be ms

The Men Reward.

| The following additional So s,serinticns,
i have been made toward the 6oza 49,
then haul 1t 25 miles by wagon. So
1ar as have learned the law has
given great satisfaction i'll its practl-
cal application.
For one, l favor a no feuce" law,
but l deem it hardly likely that we
can obtain such favor from those
who "possess" the country, though in
many OF the St. johns river counties
those who favor mo fence law"
number tour-fitths of the population.
Some places, have no doubt, Mines
teen twentieths favor the measure.
Aud now word as to pigs: ia
vor a law declaring them outlaws and
allowing any one to shoot them and
that be shall only be liable Tor one.half
their value. In a Fence District such
as propose las sort OF compromise
measure between two conflicting inS
teresls) a section should be incorpor-
ated into the law aliowitg 6 this dis.
position OF hogs, tor no one could
drive them any distance, for they
would skulkin the tall grass and among
palmettoes and it would seem about
impossible to drive. them out OF such
an enclosure. The present law is de~
moralizing. The need OF the people for
redress is so great that leading and
respectable papers do not hesitate to
use such language as the following:
while awaiting the action OF our law
givers, we should be tempted to use
bulldogs, shot guns and a few other
mild remedies, in extreme cases" etc.
l know Of one neighborhood where
only two parties Keep hogs apparent
ly from choice, while several others
do so, "because A. and B. do, our
whole neighbornood has to fence
against their hogs and as have to
make a hog>proot fence l might as
we'll have a few hogs running around;"
and one of these men,who only has one
little miserable, scrawny specimen
of the Florida razor>back, told me he
stood ready at any time to contribute
his share towards the buying out of
the present stock and then give any
one the privilege of hunting them
down and thus clearing the locality OF
them.
First OF all let us have "no.tence"
law i'll those counties which choose
by a two-thirds vote to adopt it, and
let us have general law which will
allow Fence District to be created
wherever the people desire them.
