Montgomery County Sentinel

A foreign letter in the Boston Traveller says Garibaldi is a short, nervous looking man, a decided blonde; but his little grey eye has the sparkle of polished steel. His hair is cut short as possible. He wears his beard, but there is nothing striking about it—you see hundreds just like it on the boulevards; it is beginning to be sprinkled with grey. I don't know whether he is cruel or not, he looks gentle and one would give him absolution without asking for confession. He is even so civilized as to wear a pincenez, as his eye-sight is failing. He does not look as if he was more than forty years old, but he is fifty-three.

He is dressed in the uniform of a Sardinian General—that is, in a blue coat trimmed with silver. Garibaldi has a son who is a soldier with him, and fights like a lion by his father's side. This young man is two-and-twenty years old.
