Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Garibaldi, Giuseppe 1807-1882 (search)
Garibaldi, Giuseppe 1807-1882 Patriot; born at Nice, Italy, July 4, 1807; because of his political opinions was driven into exile in 1834, and went to South America, where he was employed in the service first of the republic of Rio Grande do Sul, and subsequently in that of Uruguay, in 1836-48. Returning to Italy, he entered the service of the Roman republic in 1849, and supreme command was given to him and to General Roselli. The grand defence of Rome against French intervention in 1849 was due principally to his tact and bravery. After this cause became hopeless, in 1850, he came to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen, and where for about three years he followed the occupation of a soap-boiler on Staten Island. In 1854 he returned to Italy, and purchased the northern part of Caprera, where he remained until 1859, when he organized and commanded an independent corps, known as the Hunters Giuseppe Garibaldi. of the Alps, in the Sardinian service during

sion, Mr. Blaine and Mr. Fish, Grant's Secretary of State—were seen driving together in an open carriage, in the streets of Washington, and Fish was too loyal to his chief to afford this indication of friendship to any man with whom the President under whom he served was at enmity. I had personal knowledge of the early relations of the two great men, who were destined afterwards to be so bitterly opposed. In the first years of Grant's Presidency I was offered the position of Minister to Uruguay and Paraguay, but learning that a change was to be made at the Consulate-General in London, I asked the President for the latter appointment instead. He replied that he was pledged to nominate a friend of Mr. Blaine for the London Consulate, but added that I might consult the Speaker, and if he was willing, I should be sent to London. Accordingly, I went to Mr. Blaine, who was quite ready to oblige General Grant through me. His friend was sent to South America, and I was appointed Consul-

lic business prevents my being present to present the bride and congratulate you in person as I had expected to do. U. S. Grant. Letter no. Thirteen. Before leaving America I declined the mission to Belgium for personal reasons, which are referred to in the omitted portion of this letter. General Grant, however, knew that I had originally desired a diplomatic appointment, and he had always promised me one. The promise had indeed been kept, for in 1870 he offered me the mission to Uruguay and Paraguay, when I preferred to be Consul-General at London; but now he proposed Belgium, and pressed the place on me, even after I had declined it. My appointment was made out and sent to me in London, together with the letter of credentials to the King, without any further notice than this letter, which indeed only reached me in England. But my chief and friend persisted in his kindness. Long Branch, N. J., July 5th 1875. Dear General,—Your letter written a few days before y

What shoddy is. In the popular conception, shoddy typifies that which is undesirable. The word is a synonym of inferiority, subterfuge and deceit. The public is accustomed to condemn where it does not understand, and it seems desirable that some light should be shed to clear up this misconception in the use of shoddy. The word shoddy is derived from shod, meaning a parting or separation. Before cloth can be woven the wool must firs

French interests in South America. --The Paris Sickle, of the 9th of May, says: M. Laferriere, delegate of the Frenchmen who for fifteen years have been demanding indemnities from the Government of Uruguay, has sent us a report on the matter, which states that, though by the intervention of the Cabinets of Paris and London indemnities were promised both to the French and English sufferers, the Government of Montevideo has on different pretexts not paid them.
