and Patriot.
Giuseppe Goseph) Garibaldi was born at Nice,
then part OF the kingdom of Sardinia on the
22d of July, 1907. His father had been ship
owner. but reyerses had compelled him to earn
livelihood as a sailor, and to this fact may be
attributed the roaming disposition afterward
manifested by his second son, Giuseppe At the
age Of IL years young Garibadi ran away from
school and embarked in boat. with few COM
panioBs of his own age, with the intention of
visiting Genoa and the Leyant but his father
went In pursuit of the fugitiyes, overlook them

disciple OF Mazzin then in exile there as to dis
cover himself branded i'm the newspapers as a
fugitive rebel under sentence of death for
conspiracy against Charles Albert King of Sar-
DINA.

at that GariDaidi should nave forsaken the sea-
ports OF the L!ttoral- He crossed to Tunis and
offered his services to the hey; but, these being
declined. he embarked on board vessel bound

blessed by the birth OF his son, Menotti. of whom
the Italian nation has also had cause to be
proud.

was to grant an amnesty to ell political Offend

kings OF Sardinia aud Naples, GarihaIdi. who
was then there, offered his services and those of
