north Of Italy under the sway CT Victor En-
manuel. and to Garibal6i's intense disgust,
the transfer of Savoy and Nice to France.
On May 5. 1860, Garibsldi and fifteen hundred
men made his celebrated descent upon Sicily,
In the principal cities OF which he established
provisional governments and prepared the
way for the attachment of the Island to Victor
! Emmanuers kingdom. In September. 1860,
he wrested Naples from the tyrant Bomba
| and Italy became one with the exception of
Rome and Venice when the kingdom of the
two Sicilies was merged into that previously
ruled by Victor Emmanuel. Garibaldi had
meanwhile gone to Caprera, his rocky home,
where he now sleeps his last rest. In April,
1861, he was elected a member Of the Italian
Chamber of Deputies, and, in 1862, appointed
General in. Chief of the National Guard. In
the same year he landed with twenty-five
hundred men and began a march on Rome,
which resulted in his defeat and cap.
ture at the battle near Aspromonte.
In October he was released and re-.
turned to Caprera. Two years after
he resigned his seat in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Garibaldi assisted Prussia and Italy
against Austria in the war of 1866. In 1867
he organized another army to invade Rome
and in November of that year was defeated
by Papal and French troops at Montana. He
retired to Caprera after the short imprison-
ment which succeeded this attempt. When,
after the collapse Of the empire at Sedan,
France was struggling against fearful odds to
yepel the invading Germans, the aged hero
and hts son Ricciotti bravely aided the
weaker cause. In February. 1871, be was

in Paris, but did not take his seat. He was
elected a member of the italian Parliament
in 1875. and has since been active in the pro-
motion of schemes for the deviation of the
Tiber and the improvement of the Campagna.

than ten years after the unification Of Italy
had been contaminated by the capture Of
Rome, one result of the downfall Of Napo-
leon Ill, whose troops had upheld the Papal
Government.
