Garibaldi himself said that Anita,
whose heart beat as much as his for the
cause Of the people, took part In fights
as an "amuseme ent, and ''as simple
variation to the general monotony OF
camp life"


AT the battle fought at place called
Coritibani she could not content herself
with being, as her husband desired,
mere spectator of the combat. She went
to the Daggage-wagons with the view OF
seeing that the soldiers were properly
supplied with cartridges. The constant
tire that was kept up by the Garibiudlans
against the enemy made her suspect that
their ammunition would fail them If they
were constantly supplied with it. Accord
ingly she went to the principal scene of
the engagement. She had not been there
long when she saw twenty or thirty OF
the Brazilian horse coming down upon
the baggage train at gallop,


As she was both an excellent rider and
well mounted, she might have taken to
light and saved herself; but she was too
hero1cal spirit to do so. She remained
on the spot, encouraging the soldiers to
lire upon the Imperialistsas as soon as they
came within range. A volley empied
several saddles but the emmy were sue
cessful in their charge, and Anita, being
surrounded, was called upon to surren-
der


Instead of doing so she clapped spurs
to her horse, and dashed through the
enemy's lines with the intention of join
ing her husband and was galloping OFT
when she was struck by a pistol shot
through her hat, which carried away
some of her hair without injuring her
skull.


And perhaps she would have effected
her escape had the horse not been shot
through the head, causing it to fall dead
upon the ground, and throw her heavily
upon the turf She was then forced to
surrender, and was taken to the Colonel
! Of the enemy.


Heroically brave in danger, she be-
came, if possible, still more sublime i'll
! calamity In presence Of the command
er of the Imperialist forces she would not
allow him to speak with contu&ely and
disdain of the soldiers of Rio Grande.

We do not wish or intend to harm any one who may be doing an honora- ble, legitimate business, but when the public are deceived by false statements and iuduced to purchase articles at enormous prices under mistaken i'm pressions, we think that they (the pub | lic) should know the facts in the case. We know of a case of a poor young man about 20 years of age, who has always been near-sighted and conse- quently required concaye glasses, but on application to these learned occu- lists he received instead a pair of con vex glasses in steel frames at $2,5O, which were suitable for an old man of6O years. We presume they erans'aed hss eye arth one o their glasses before they gave him the specs, then told him they were all right and that he must take them, that he could not judge for him. self whether he could see we'll or not.

 This is only one among many instan. ces we might mention. We could, if we choose, procure the names of large number of very respectable people who would bear testimony that the state ments we make are true in every par ticular, and that the humbug is even greater than we assert it to be.

 Furthermore, we have procured a quantity of the

 Celebrated Perfected Lenses. about which so much has been said, sold by parties in town at $2.50 pair, which we

THERE is one thing which has almost grown into a
habit with the Southern press anG from which we can
not claim complete, though we cdp claim comparative
exemption, and that is in the nature of counting chick
ems before they hedof predicting all sorts
important and wholly favourable results as certain to
spring from any new movements which they may feel
themselves authorized even to hint ar.


The Consequence of all this is first that an idea is
given to the enemy, if he does not aeady possess it,
that something is afoot and the second is that undue
expectation kened among our own people lead
ing to disappointmens ard discOuragements ard dis
salts factions if they fail to be realized which they very
we'll may, for know that while our commanders and
armies may do all that can do to dec we and
to win success, it is not in the power OF to CON-
mand it. We ought always to hope for the best, but
not confidently to promise if.


We make these remarks in connection with the cam
paign now progressing in upper Georgia Everything
that most sanguine friends hope for from that cam
paign may be realized but then again, they may not

CHARACTER OF THE EMIGRASTs COMING.
The Cork ilrelandl Examiner Of late date
says that emigrants are still leaving that port
in large numbers for the United States. There
are among them some old people and young
children, but the bulk are stalwart men, full
OF health and vigor, young women gaudily
dressed, but their bad taste cannot conceal
the beauty, the activity, the bounding health
for which the Irish peasant eirl has been 90
remarkable. Among them all there ia scarce.
ly one to be seen poorly attired. The goods
OF each party show that small farmers house
hold has been broken up. Their conduct i
remarkably steady. Though hundreds have
sometimes to wait week at Queenstown for


the steamer, there is very little drunkenness
among them, and seldom spree, though they
are noisy enough sometimes. The Examiner

WHY THE DYING NEVER WEEP.-The rea-
son the dying never weep is because the man
ufactures of life have stopped forever; every
gland OF the system has ceased its functions.
In almost all diseases the liver is the first man
ufactory that stops work; one by one the 9TH
ers follow, and all the fountains of life are at
length dried up; there is no secretions any
where. So, the eye In death weeps not; not
that all affection is dead to the heart, but be-
cause there is not a tear drop in it, any more
than there is moisture on the lip.

CARylNe.-To be known as q dexterous
anatomist-one competent to dissect the
fowls Of the air, carve the joints Of beasts IN
the field, and slice the fishes OF the sea, with
neatness and dispatch--is to be liable to per-
form heavy amount of hard labor without
any adequate compensation. Beware, there
fore, If you are a good carver of bruiting
the fact. Let not your pride Of hand get the
better of your discretion. All men eat-few
carve. The carvers, therefore, are in some
sort the servants Of those who carve not.
The latter are superior race" who feed
and wax fat on warm meats and sauces,
while the former are condemned to forage
on cold scraps and congealed grayies. The
head of the table is doubtless the place OF
honor, but we hold with the philosopher
Falstaff, that honor may cost more than it
comes to, and ,Yith shrewd Franklin, that
it is possible to pay too dear for the whistle.
When the King OF Siam has a bone to pick
with one of OF his courtiers, he sends him a
sacred white elephant, and the expense Of
keeping, grooming and decorating the noble
animal ruins the obliged party. So when
the lady of the house pays you the compli-
ment Of placing before you for dissection all
her turkeys, roast pigs and sirloins, her pro-
fessed admiration Of your anatomical skill is
simply cloak for deliberate act Of oppres-
sion. To any good carver, whose lot has
been cast among the tenants Of boarding
house, we would say, conceal your gift.
Whisper not to your neighbor on the right
hand, or on the left, that you are brilliant
operator with the festive steel. Do not even
criticise the blunders Of those ferocious per-
sons who tear the delicacies Of the season
to pieces by main force, and distribute them
in shapeless goblets to the guests. II you
do, the Madam will be sure to take the hint,
and insist, with many fine words, which, as
Sancho Panza truly remarks, "butter no
parsnips" on your taking the chair. Feed
in discreet silence on yiands unskillfully par
celled out, rather than get into penal seryi-
tude as an expert. The complaisant gentle
man who consents to sit at the head Of
clearinghouse table, is worse off for culin-
ary comforts than the peripatetic pauper who
solicits cold vituals in the forenoon and
warns them up ouer his cinder fire in the
evening. The beggar has warm meal for
nothing-the slave Of the knife and fork
pays round price for daily ration Of leay-
ings, and throws in his labor gratuitously.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION. - In looking
over the draught of the proposed amend


ments to the school law, we find two or three
sections which look as though the authors OF
the bill were in earnest to prevent future re-


bellion by thorough rebellion. The first, in


response to the petitions which are daily
pouring into the Legislature from all parts
Of the State, provides for the levy Of direct
State school tax Of five cents on the 800 ;
the next is, that each county shall annually
raise a school fund equal to 81 for each
minor between four and eighteen years Of
age within the limits Of such county; the
next is, that each district shall, if its share
of State and county money is not sufficient
for the purpose, raise enough in addition
thereto to make the whole sufficient to keep
school open FIVE months in each year; and
that each public school shall be kept open al
least fiye months in the year. Another clause
provides that each parent, guardian, master
or other person, having the care, custody, OF
control Of any child between eight and four
teen years of age, shall be guilty Of, andPun.

not attend either public or private school

Dr.. RoBAcK's STOMACH BrrTERs.-Wc profess

In connection herewith we notice that the
Iowa City RepuJlicas makes fresh assault
upon the Company, and gives the above
figures as the reason Why the road should
not have altered its freight and passenger
tariffs Of former years. The editor does not,
probably, take into consideration the impor-
tant fact that large share Of the above
mentioned gains come from the increased
tariffs and not on increase of business, and
that this increase was actually demanded to
pay the Increased expenditures Of the road.
Had not there been . heavy increase in
earnings over those of 1868, the road must
have lost money. As it is it makes only a
reasonable profit OH the capital invested.
The Republican is very silly to maintain that
capital invested in Railroads should not be
remunerative. To make such claim, how
ever, is Independence" and that is what is
troubling the Republican at this time.

ArrExPr TO EscAP1.-We learn that an
immense tunnel leading from the rebel bar
racks to the outer world, caved in during
the late thaw, thus discovering . plot TO
free the entire encampment. The shallow
ness Of the soil over the rocky bottom Of
the Island compelled the rebs to dig near
the surface. So long as the ground was
frozen on top the upper portion Of the tun-
mel was firm, but during the late thaw the
thin, frozen crust between the underground
operations and daylight thawed out and
caved in, revealing chasm Of high proper
tions-large enough, it is said, to let four
rebs out abreast and in good order. The
authorities will have to be more cautious
over there, else we shall have to get out the
militia again.

SAVE YouR MoNEY.-Al classes of peo-
pie, and particularly those Of small incomes,
and such as depend upon their daily labor
for sustcnance, should ae this time, of all
others, be particularly careful to avoid all
risks, all cxtravagances, and lay by every
cent they can for future emergency. The
idea that everybody is doirg we'll and grow.
,g rich in these times Of inflated currency,
is fallacious, and should not be entertained.
Though the sailing is comparatively fair al
the present time, let it not be forgotten
that there is a heavy head Of steam on, and
breakers not far ahead. Let US not forge,
that commercial crash always follows 9
commercial imitation, and in such times q s
these the danger is particularly imminent.
We advise those of large means to beware
how far they use their credit, and those Of
small resources to save every cent they pos.
sibly can. Don't hoard up your hard earn


ings, but as fast as you accumulate few
dollars that you are not obliged to lay out
for the nccessaries Of life, deposit them in
the Savings Bank, where, while you labor
on to accumulate more, what you have earn
ed will also be increasing in bulk. There
are now over sixty thousand dollars in small
sums on deposit in the Davenport Savings
Bank, earning something every day for the
depositors. Let those who have not taken
the benefit of that institution do IS at once.
Save up your dimes and dollars against the
time when the collapse comes, for come it
must. Then your money will stand you in
good stead, and you will be rejoiced that you
took the advice here given.

CAMP MISUNDERSTANDING matters are
particularly dull at Camp Mcclellan just
now. The available drafted men and re-
cruits together number less than one hum
drcd. OF the fifty drafted men only twenty
eight are available-eleyen being held for
court martial for bountyjumping, etc, and
eleven are in the Hospital. The Hospital
contains about three hundred patients,
which makes it the most important part Of
the post at the present. The garrison prop
er consists Of about ninety men, who have
little or nothing to do but await raid from
the rebel prisoners as soon as they shall
have succeeded in tunnelling the Mississip-
pi, and reaching the Iowa side in force. 1t
is said that the tunnel is being rapidly con-
structed, and when completed will be work
that will reflect great credit upon the ma
ton, as an engineering feat that has no par
alel either in modern or ancient history.
The forces at Camp Mcclellan entertain q
proud consciousness Of being able to meet
and edectually put down this great submar-
inc raid.
