With this prologue let me give You Of my

crowd who all eagerly strove to him At most the
stopping stations between New Haven and Springfield
n crowd rushed around the ears, Of whom doubt
enthuasts but others were led by curiosity and
by the hope OF fun. At Merden. some of the vii
layers would have the lion ont to hear him Accord

sented him with an address which he said he would

At Hartford there n dense crowd who shouted at
the their voice and pressed around the hinder
to him. One Irishman in order to obtain good view
got the top OF the right Kossuth's head
which attracted the attention of the crowd and

and shook hands with pat You see y said Kossuth

democracy will yet arise and shake of despotism like the
dust from their garments'

family, who gave check of $50 each material
aid rather, believe. purchased bonds to that
amount, for Kossuth does not like to be called
sturdy beggar" some of the Western papers called
him and only wants loan upon the valuable security
Of Hungary soon becoming republic. This reminds
of OF the practices of strollng ballad singers
in Eropea cities who when vending soditious songs,
