captain, and q few friends discussing freely
the incidents Of the times, Oh which cunning

n. manner which becomes . great man, and
puts plain man like mysef af ease. He did
honor to the good men who had sent me On
this mission, when he placed me ut every meal
next himself, and pointed ont my bed as one
Of the two in bis own room. accept this
honor most proudly, and gratefully IN
the country OF which Garibaldi could not
speak too often, for The moral aid, even more
than the material assistance, which 1t had rc1-
dered to Italy and with gratitude to my coun-
trymen who had sent me with their assurance
Of their abiding interest In him aud his coun-
try in the coming crisis.
"Scelng that he was deeply engaged with
his immense monthly receipt of letters, I left
