/ War at home between Austria and
the Liberals hurried him to the
scene in 1848, then at the age of
forty-one years. He has ever since
been a prominent figure in Italian
affairs. Regarded as red-shirted
revolutionist he was at times hunted
like wild beast, and scenes of the
most dramatic and intensely affect
| ing incident occurred in his career.
Defeat followed defeat, but every
defeat was but the forerunner OF a
new uprising, and his energy and in
domitable will have not been sur
passed by any of those military men
accounted great in history. In the
days of his adversely his Brazilian
wife chung to him with affectionate
ardor and died of exhaustion in his
arms while he was being pursued by
Austrian troops. 1t was not until
1860 that victory began to crown his
efforts and in 1864 there was respect
manifested for him abroad, and he
was banquetted by the Lord Mayor
of London. Again, in the field
against the Austrians in 1866, and
still again, taking up arms in 1870
for the French republic, he was at
length seated in the Italian Parlia-
ment in 1875, and after much hesita-
ton accepted a pension of 10000 lire
annually for his public services. His
attention then turned to the i'm
provement of the country, particu-
larly reclaiming the waste lands
near Rome. His plans being declar-
ed impracticable he retired to private
life, and died in peace at the age of
seventy-five years. His life presents
a remarkable instance of fidelity to
principle, answering patriotism,
constant energy, true heroism long
unrequited, but finally leading to
honor, fame, and undying place in
the affections of liberty loving civil
ization.

Monday by the former. The Secre-
tary read the communication sub
mitted to him by the solicitor, and
he is of the opinion that it would be
more profitable for the government
to lease the property to reliable par
ties, although he thinks the period
of ninety-nine years too long for the
lease to run, as in the meantime an
offer might be made to purchase it
at a decided advantage to the gov
eminent. The matter will be more
fully looked into before final deci-
sion is reached.

JUNE 5, 1882. :
TO Hon. John Blair Hoge, Wash :
ington. ID. c.:
Dedr Sir:-Reports are in circula-
tion here and throughout the district
that you are not and will not be a
candidate for denomination for the
House of Representatives. We pre-
sumo these reports originated from
an article which appeared in the
Spirit Of Jefferson, published at
CharlestoWn, Jefferson county, some
weeks since, in which it was init
mated that for reasons known to
yourself, you would not be candi-
date.
The custom in this congressional
district, and in this State, has been
to give Representative two terms.
We know of no reason why an excep-
ton to this rule should be made at
this time, and with special reference
to you,ds your entire course as a Rep
resentative in Congress has met the
favorable consideration of your con-
stituents. Approving your course
thus far, and believing that second
term is not only due you, but that it
would afford you an opportunity of
doing a great deal for the interests
of your district which could not pos
sibly be accomplished in one term,
we desire to know if there are any
reasons why your friends should not
present your name before the next
Democratic Congressional conven-
tions and ask for your denomination.
Awaiting an early reply we remain
Most Respectfully Yours, ETC..

A GLANCE over the general con-

tention of conservative-minded men.
A seething cauldron of discomfort
and disquietude underlies society
nearly everywhere, and it's ebulli-
tions break forth in many places.
. The discord in Ireland, Russia and
Egypt is reflected in occasional out
breaks in Spain. In Germany inn
pOrtant governmental measures have
been defeated. In the United States,
Notwithstanding the evidences of
prosperity on every hand, and the
means of rapid advancement in ma
terial wealth and influence, there
are many indications that storm is
brewing of no small proportions in
this land of ours. There never was
time when it was better to go slow,
deliberately and purposefully, in
every act Of life than at present.
There is no occasion for alarm but
there is occasion for prudence.
Storms are inevitable occasionally
and they affect those least who are
best prepared for them.
