observance of funeral rites in honor Of
Gen. Giuseppe Garibaldi, will be remem.
bered in Eureka for the imposing memo.

citizens, heartily Joined in with by our
local and civic societies and the fire com
panies. The interest taken in the process.
sion and exercises at the Opera House was
second only to that manifested in the
memorial services recently held by the
Grand Army of the Republic in honor Of
their deceased comrades of the Union
Army. The streets wherever the process.
sion moved were crowded by lookers-on,
whose sympathies were moved by the
eloquent funeral display, 80 familiar are
the American people with the patriotic OK.
PLOTS of the Italian leader, and 80 appre-
ciative are they Of his heroic efforts in
behalf of human liberty.
The day was cloudy and cold for the
season, and slight showers of rain fell
just enough to lay the dust. The process
sion formed at 2 O'Clock and paraded along
Main street in the order of the published
notice.
While the line of march was being
formed, and during the parade, the side.
walks and balconies on both sides Of the
street were filed with spectators of both
and of all ages. As the procession
was about to move south. tho horse upon
which Major Hoadley, one of Gen. Sabin's
aids, rod became FESTIVE, and rearing
back, fell upon the riders leg. Fortunate
ly he sustained no injury, and remounting
took his place again. While the crowd
were awaiting the return of the cortege
north, a vacquero passed down the street
a bucking mule, and created a sensa-
tion which was anything but in %consonance
with the occasion. But such is life. In
the midst Of mourning folly intrudes; and
folly is often silenced by grief.
About 8 o'clock, the funeral parade
being ended, the procession entered the
Opera House, where, in the presence of a
tremendous audience, the following ap-
propriate Introductory address, in Eng
lish, was made by L. Molinelli, President
of the Day:
PRESIDENT ~MoLINELLI'S REMARKS.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and
Countrymen: Another friend Of
human liberty has fallen, and we assem-
BILE here to-day for the purpose of paying
proper respect to the memory OF a depart
hero. Although in a strange land, we

in doing homage to the honored dead.
The friends of liberty, in all civilized
lands, join in the funeral services COM
memorative of the life aud noble deeds OF
the gallant chieftain who, by his patriot
ism and valor, made it possible for Italy
to shake off the shackles of foreign powers
and once more take its place in the family
of nations as an independent Government.
The sons OF Italy, wherever situated,
feel o pride in the character and actions Of
their country's great commoner, who

although they may have laid aside their
allegiance to the land of their birth, and
sons and daughters of this grand
still their hearts best love goes
out to the grand old man who, since 1884,
been the hope of every Italian who
possessed a true feeling of love for the OPP
in that SO long unfortunate and
country.
But, alas! he is no more. At a ripe old
age he succumbed to the inevitable and
yields his soul to him who gave it.
We, therefore, join with our fellow-men
in giving this public evidence of our graft
tude and love for the noble dead, the pa
.triotic, liberal-minded Garibaldi; and in
the language Of Victor Hugo let me con-

loss to Italy and France, but a loss to
whole human race"

We seek the wise, the strong the brave,
And sad Of heart return, to stand
In silence by the new.made grave"
After Mr.. Molinelli's address q prayer
was offered up by the Rev. c. B. Craw-
ford.
Next in order came the principal Grafton

his countrymen in Italian, and afterwards

MR.. MoNAco's GRAFTON.
ITALIANS: The friend of the people, the
dol of the italian soldier, the defender and
liberator of the oppressed, the great pa
;riot-Guiseppe Garibaldi-is no more.
Weary and overcome by an agitated and
adventurous career, he breathed his last
IN the Cd inst, at his hermitage Of Ca
Calm and serene he expired with
The smile of the just and the brave, while
his lips uttered for the last time the name
Of his dear Italy, which he left in weeping
and in mourning for him.
Giuseppe Garibaldi was one of those ex-
traordinary geniuses that are born only I'M
der the fair sky of Italy. His life was but
a sequel of hardships, privations and sacri-
fees and for the benefit of suffering hu-
In 1s4s, the epoch of general European
upheaving, Garibaldi, just then
returned from South America, where he
gave proof of great bravery and high mill
tary tactics. at once espoused the cause of
the people struggling for liberty, distin-
himself in the conflict with the
A%ustrians, the eternal enemies of Italy,
and against the French, who throttled the
young Roman Republic. In 1850 he took
active part in the glorious and brilliant
campaign of Lombardy.
In 1860 he achieved the browning success
of his life. With his 200 valiant volun-
teers, from Marsha to V~olturno, he
marched triumphantly on and wrested the
from the Bourbon tyrant. The

offered him the crown Of the king
dom, which the noble and unambitious
General declined, accepting instead the III
tie Of Dictator; afterwards, with the mag
nanimity of a Scipio, he presented to Vic
tor Emanuel the Kingdom of the two Sici-
lies, thus adding another bright gem to
the crown of Italy, and declining all
honors and riches offered him. Like a
modern ~Cincinnatus, he exchanged the
sword for the pillow, and retired to Caprera,
where, with his family, he lived his simple
and frugal life, and enjoyed the sweetness
of private life and rest from strife until
1862. OF sad memory, when at Aspro-
while brandishing his sword for
country, he was wounded and taken
prisoner by that King whom he had SO no
bly, served and enriched Of a crown but
two years before.
In 1867 he made a second attempt to
rescue the Eternal City from its priestly
