sWamps. He was confined TO his
room and bed for come time, lido
not know how long, but 1t wss for
some days. The Italians and Amsri-
cans wanted TO give him a pubic re-
ception. Do you think he would
take it? All, no. He (Garibaldil
sald: There are many, political ex-
lies in Italy who have not money
enough to bring them to this country.
Spend, then. the money you would
spend for the reception that I do
not need, and-help them to come
where they will have liberty. That
is better reception than any other
to me-. But, then, you know, he
was Gsribaldi.'

were quite number OF italian pstri-
OTIS who had been forced to leave
their own country ana who had settled
down on the island. Well, Garibaldi
went there and made up bis mind be
would live among them. So he and
Muecci aud SAlvi had a house to-
getber. But be saw bslore long that
the Italians did nothing all dsy but

asked him for money; and he wrote
to NJ. Carperalto. wealthy Italian
