Garibaldi as a Candle-Ma on Staten
Island.


When Garibaldi, the italian liberator,
lived on Staten Island, and earned his
living making parafine candles, he lived
in small two-story gable-roofed cot
tage, at Clifton, which some wealthy
members of the italian colony now pro-
pose to buy for a hospital for aged Ital-
ians. Garibaldi lived here with Antonio
Muecci, who still resides in the old
house. Garibaldi worked for him, but
his labor was not very steady, as he
gave much time to visiting his country
men in New York, and in discussing his
projects with them. He came here in
1851, and in 1853 he took charge of a
vessel bound for San Francisco and
China. Upon his return he took YES
sci from this port for England, and re-
turning to this country, in 1856, he re-
NAMED but few weeks. and then went
to Italy, to begin the exploits which

The pillow of bis bed in his room, which
has been preserved since the time he oc-
cupied it, has been draped in black in
memory of the iberator. and the old
italian, a grey-haired and whiskered
man, preserves in the room the presents
which Garibaldi gave him. These in

the handle of which represents Mazep-
pa on Wild horse, while the sheath is

and red shirt trimmed with green,
worn by Garibaldi, with silver badge
emblematic of the cause for which he
labored, are among the other relics,
with his picture, taken after he was
wounded at Caprera, and an oil paint
ing. Since the patriots death the
house has been more visited than ever
before. -NeaU York letter.

Churla Slowly.

little maid in the morning sun
Stood merriiy singing and churning;
oh, how wish this butter was done,
Then off to the field I'd be turning!"
So she hurried the dasher up and down
Till the farmer called with half-made froHn,
tsChurn SLOWLY
"Don't ply the dasher so fast, my dear,
It's not 20 good for the butter,
And will make your arms ache; too, fear,
And put you al in flutter;
For this is a rule, whenever we turn,
Don't be III haste whenever you churn.
Churn SLOWLY
If you'd see your butter come nice and sweet
Don't churn with nervous jerking,
But ply the dasher slowly and neat,
You'll hardly know that you le working;
And when the butter has come you'll say:
Yes, this is surely the very best way
Churn slowly!n
Now, little folks. do yot think that you
A lesson can find in butter?
Don't be in haste whatever you do.
Or get yourself in hutter;
And while you stand at life's great churn,
Let the farmers words to You return:

George w. Curtis on the American
Scholar. si-

Every wear at the college commence
ment the American scholar is exhoTted
to do his duty. But every newspaper
proves that he is doing it. For he Is the
most practical politician who shows his
fellow citizens, as the wise old sailor told
his shipmates, that "God has somehow
so fixed the world that a man can afford
to do about right" Take from the
country at this moment the educated
power, which is condemned as romantic
and sentimental, and you would take
from the army its General, from the
ship its compass, from national action
its moral handspring. 1t is not the dema-
gogue and the shouting rabble, it IS the
people needing the word of the thinker,
and the lesson of experience, which Sc
cures the welfare of the American re-
public and enlarges human liberty. If
American scholarship does hot carry the
election of to-day, it determines the
policy of tomorrow. Calm, patient,
confident, heroic, in our busy and ma
terial life it perpetually vindicates the
truth that the things which are unseen
are eternal. So in the cloudless mid
summer sky serenely shines the moon,
while the tumultuous ocean rolls and
murmms beneath the type of illimitabie
and unbridled power. But resistlessiy
marshaled by celestial laws, ali the wild
waters, heaving from pole to pole, rise
and recede, obedient to that mild queen
of heaven.
The senior diplomat in the United
States service by consecutive years of
duty is the Hon. George P. Marsh, Min

March 20, 1861, and has held the Office
ever since. He has never, it is said,
even applied for temporary leave Of
absence.

Thoreau was, probably, the widest

adding to the shyness of the hermit and
woodsman the wildness of the poet, and
to the wildness of the poet the greater
ferity and elusiveness of the mystic. An
extreme product of civilization and Of
modern culture, he was yet as untouched
by the worldly and commercial spirit of
his age and country as any red man that
ever haunted the shores of his native
stream. He put the whole of nature be-
tween himself and his fellows A man
of the strongest local attachments-nOt
the least nomadic, seldom wandering be-
You'd his native township, yet his spirit
was as restless and as impatient of re-

lived. He cultivated an extreme wild
ness, not only in his pursuits and tastes,
but in his hopes and imaginingh. He

his life was an attempt to pluck the
Swiss edelweiss from the all but inaces-
sible cliffs. The higher and the wilder,
the more the fascination for him. In

wildness he coveted and would have re-

the commonplace, arrow heads as dis

knives.
. Thoreau was French on one side and
Puritan on the other. It was the wild,
untamable French core in him-a dash
of the gray wolf that stalks through his
ancestral folklore, as in Audubon and
the Canadian goyagellrs-that made him
turn with such zest and such genius to
aboriginal nature and it was the Puri-

Poisoned Thread.


A dressmaker admitted into the
Leeds dispensary, In England, was
found to have a distinct blue line on
her gums, with simultaneous symp.
toms, such as furred tongue, infia-
nation of the lips, and general de.
bility; all signs pointing to the prob.
ability of poisoning by lead. The
doctor in attendance on her for some
time failed TO discover the source,
and was beginning to think the blue
line had been caused in some other
way, when he accidentally learned
from a merchant that silken thread,
being sold by weight, and not by
length, Is sometimes adulterated
with sugar of lead. He then quest
ioned her, and she informed him
that it had been common practice
with her, when at work, to hold silk
as well as other kinds Of thread, in
her mouth, and that she had done
this more readily with silk, inasmuch
as it often had sweet taste. This
characteristic is sure indication Of
the presence of lead, and all thread
possessing it should either be reject
ed or used with caution. 1t will be
found that the silk thread of the best
makers is tastless, whereas some in.
ferior threads are sweet.
