GENERAL GARIBALDI, the famous Ital-
ian patriot ann champion of popular lib
erty, died at his home on the Island of
Caprera last Friday, after having suffer
ed much during the past few years from
serious bronchial affiiction. He was a
glorious, brave old man-heroic in the
highest sense, that ola sincere and cour-
ageous devotion to the cause of patriot
lam and the freedom and elevation of
mankind. The list Of the worlds no.
bIest men contains not brighter name
than that of Giuseppe Garibaldi. He
was rs years old, and the friends of liber-
ty and mankind everywhere will mourn
his death and honor his memory.

NEARLY all the iron mills in Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio have been closed
by their owners, owing to the general
strike of the workingmen for an advance
in wages. There is prospect that there
will be general closing up for the sum-
mer Of the iron works in all parts of the
country, unless the workmen should re
consider their resolution to insist upon a
compliance with their demands, which,
in view of the present depressed state OF
the iron trade, can hardly be justified.

LIVING in Europe aud America.

Our Consul at Cork, in a commu-
nication to the State Department,
discusses the question of the relative
cost of living in Europe and Ameri-
ca from a point of view often over
looked by people who talk about
the dearness of things on this side of
the Atlantic. He insists that if the
American laborer will live in the
same poor way as the Irish Iaborer,
eating meat but once a week, if at
all, and going without many arti-
cles which are considered indispen-
sable here, he can live as cheaply as
he could in Ireland. Mn Brooks
goes further and asserts that it is
capable of demonstration that cheap
clothing is cheaper in the United
States than in Great Britain. A
suit such as is geneally worn by Ia
boring people, costing SO in Cork,
could, he says, be bought in Wash
ington-not an exceptionally cheap
place for purchases-for $3.50. Mr..
Brooks communication is Il piece of
additional evidence to establish 4
fact known to most careful observers
of prices and ways of liviny in Eu-
rope, namely. that it costs more to
live here because nobody is wiling
to live in the mean, scrimpled, half
starved way in which poor people
are forced to live there. With us
there are few mechanics or day la
borers who do not eat meat at
least once a day, sleep ON good
bed nights, and have respectable
suit Of clothes to wear on Sundays

To Cook a Leg of Mutton.

The following two modes of cook
ing leg of mutton may be accepta-
bic to economical housekeepers
1. Boiled shank.-Cut the leg OF
mutton cleanly cross the meat and
bone from the shank down. with as
much meat as will suffice for the
meal. Rub it, and -four it all over,
but especially the cut meat surface.
Plunge it at once into saucepan or
pot of boiling water to cover it, to-
gether with some salt, a few grains
of pepper and a bunch of parsley.
Draw away from the fire, and allow
the water to cool almost completely;
then put once more on the fire and
cook slowly, according to weight, till
quite done to taste. Serve with
parsley, onions, caper, sorrel or any
sauce preferred. Garnish with meat
or potato rissoles. The -four and
plunging into boiling water will pre-
vent the juice from escaping, and
the meat will cut just as finely as
from whole boiled leg of mutton.
2. Mutton steak.-trom the rest
of the leg of mutton cut cleanly and
evenly slice from the full round of
from two to three inches thick. Salt,
peper and flour both sides at once,
and insert a piece of shalot onion
into the bone eye. Broil the meat
slowly on a becfs:eak griddle or pan,
covering the upper surface with
chopped beef marrow, butter or NUT
ton kidney fat. Prepare a brown
gravy with fried shalots, brown
stock, few peppercorns, two cloves.
some lemon rinds or juice, or a
spoonful of vinegar. Strain, add a
few split olives or pounded ancho-
vies, and serve with pats of mashed
potatoes, turnips, parsnips or any
suitable vegetable.

Eagle and Goose.

A gentleman from Stone County,
Ark, tells of a remarkable incident
which he witnessed while crossing
White River on the ferry Just above
the mouth of Sycamore Creek.
When nearly half way across the
stream an enormous eagle swooped
down on a flock of geese which
were swimming in the river some
eighty rods below the boat. The
fowls upon observing the eagle ap-
preaching instinctively dived un-
der the water just as the bird struck
the waves. Baffled N the first as
sault, tue eagle flew slowly upward,
and when the geese came to the sur
face darted downward again. and
burying its talons in one of them,
attempted to bear it away, The
goose struggled violently, while its
companions swan around it utter
ing SRI i'll cries and the persons on
the ferry boat watched the strange
scene l. it'll keen interest. Once the
eagle lifted its prey clear out of the
water and seemed on the point OF
conveying it to the mountain cliff
that rose grandly in the air on the
other side of the stream. but the
struggles of the goose forced the cap
tor downward. When water was
again reached the goose made a
supreme effort and plunged below
the surface, dragging the eagle after
it, and causing the latter to loosen
its hold and rise upward with
fierce scream. The eagle nest at
tackled another goose, but with the
same result, being compelled to re-
linquish its hold, when its intended
victim plunged beneath the waves.
This strange contest lasted fully thir-
ty minutes, at the end of which
time eagle gave up the fgh., and ris-
ing, scared away tothe mountains
westward, while the flock of geese
swan further down the stream. None
Of the flock were killed, but the water
in the vicinity was dyed with blood,
and the surface of the stream was
covered with feathers for consider
able distance.-Cor. 81. Louis Repub-
lican.

Fun as a Moral Ferce.

Fun is as distinct moral force az
prayer. A good, hearty, healthy
laugh will clear the cobwebs out o1
the brain, renew the blood tone the
nerves and drive all thought of COM
mitting flagrant wrong from the
mind. 1t banishes worrying cares,
and knits humanity in common kim
dred. Every missionary enterprise
ought to provide amusement.
Preaching services, prayer meeting,
sunday schools, philanthropic or
ganizations, and even charity well
bestowed get no closer to the hearts
OF the humble than do those who
induce them to stell an hour away
from exacting toll to recuperate their
energies and renew their moral vigor
by rational enjoyment. This done,
the werx Of getting in communion
with them is complete. Laugh with
those who laugh, and weep with
those who weep, and see if by con-
tributing to their mirth you cannot
cause them to forget sorrow and TO
stop thinking of the battle Of life
long enough to realize that men and
women were made to be invigorated
by fun, morally, mentally and phys
icaliy.-Albany Erpress.

As a landmark of . time ineffacsa "a
bly, engraved upon the older cla IS,
we came across relic in the sha pc
Of an old negro who's life histo ry
might well be woven into a tale as
thrilling with romance and adven
ture As was ever born In the fersl le
brain of Dumas. Old Cyrus is u
remarkable specimen of that genus
homo, bowed with th's weight of an
hundred and ten yea B, with eye
sight dimmed and mi nd beclouded,
he still bears traces oaf that muscle
and manhood SO not iceable in the
first Africans brought to this coun-
TRY. Cy is perhaps the last living
African-born freedma n is this Sec
ton, and up to two years since, at
the remarkable lage Of los, retained
his mental faculties to an astonishing
degree.
Nearly century ago, at the age of
sixteen, he was brought over by a
slaye.trader with large number of
others, all of whom have long since
been gathered to their fathers, while
this old man had lived on and on,
past his day and generation, a linger-
ing land mark Of an epoch of onr peo-
pied now historic. A talk with the old
fellow is highly entertaining and
amusing. OF course due allowance
must be made for his somewhat
tropical imagination. Old Cy claims
that his capture by the traders was
a case of the basest perfidy and kid
mapping on record. He belonged to
the Fulays, a powerful interior
tribe of the Liberi. IN country, and
was not less a per sonage than the
son ofKing Bona Fulah. The facts
of his seizure as tol i by himself, are
briefly these: He was sent by his
father with a number of captives
from a hostile tribe, with his agents,
to sell them to the traders.
The sale having been duly effected |
to the satisfaction of all parties,
Prince Bona Fulah (now old Cy) |
with his retinue were invited to a
fete on shipboard- 1t was the Old
game. when the Prince and his
attendants awoke from the effects Of |
the New England rum, they found
them selves leagu rs from their loved |
land, and what vas worse, treated
with no more consideration than
the very slaves they had sold. For
seventy-eight long years old Cy bore
the yoke of slavery to be freed in
his second childhood. The old
mans lines. how ever, have fallen in
places, and iii tae helplessness of
old age, he is well cared for, and
nothing is lacking to ease his way to
the grave. Any bright day he might
be seen summing himself in front of
his comfortable cabin.
