Gargyle

( Arch.) See GARGOYLE. Garibaldi, GIUSEPPE, an Italian partisan-general and patriot, was B. at Nice, of poor parents, July 4, 1807. Being fond of the sea, he made several voyages in early youth, and in 1832, becoming implicated with Mazzini in a conspiracy against Charles Albert, king of Sardinia, he was compelled to quit his country. Two years afterwards, he became again involved in political troubles, and was condemned to death in his absence for an attempt to subvert the existing government. He escaped to France, and landing at Marseilles, there signalized himself by his devoted attention to the patients of a cholera hospital, whom the nurses had deserted. Thence he sailed in an Egyptian corvette, and offered his services to the Bey of Tunis; but the life in that service not being stirring enough for his active and intrepid spirit, he sailed for South America, in 1836, and fought for the republic of Rio Grande, then at war with Brazil. G. commanded a ve el of 30 tons, with 16 men, and having been taken prisoner at Gualaguay, upon trying to escape, experienced the most cruel treatment. After effecting his liberation, he again fought for Rio Grande, and, attended by his devoted wife Anita, pa ed through the extremes of peril and privation. G. next commanded an Italian legion of 800 men against Rosas, Dictator of Buenos Ayres, and fought the battle of Salto Sant' Antonio. In 1847, on hearing of the elevation of Pius IX. to the Pontificate, G. offered his services to Charles Albert, and upon the latter's declining them, he transferred, in 1848, the offer to the Provisional Government then sitting in Rome. There he was received with enthusiasm, and distinguished himself in the very thickest of the struggle when that city was stormed by the French troops. On the entry of the latter, G. fled, hotly pursued by French and Austrian cavalry. During the terrible time which followed, G. was hunted down like a wild beast; he lost his brave wife, who sunk down by his side overcome with the terrors and hardships she had endured. G. eventually succeeded in making his escape to the U. States, where French in the Franco-Pru ian war, and was given command of the Army of the Vosges. He published, in 1869, The Rule of the Monk , a novel, and in 1875 was elected to the Italian Parliament, and took an active part in introducing a plan for the irrigation of the Campagna. The latter years of his life, owing to failing health, were mostly pa ed in retirement at Caprera, devoting himself, like another Cincinnatus, to the cultivation of his farm. Here he died, June 2d, 1882. His last public appearance was at Palermo, Sicily, where he participated in the sixth centennial of the Sicilian Vespers. Gariep, ( ga - rēép ' ,) in S. Africa.
