A STRANGE HISTORY.
Death oran Irl.h Patriot.

The death, at Prague, of Laurence Duffy,
companion of Smith O'Brien, of Irish revolu-
tionary fame, has revealed a strange history.
Since 1850 Duffy has been teacher of the Eng
lish language in-that city, living in miserably
furnished house, and, as everybody thought,
poverty-stricken. In the commencement of
April he was taken to the hospital, and, feeling
that his end was approaching, he called
carriage, drove to notary and
had him come into the vehicle to take down his
testament. He there wiled two thousand florins
to the advocate as his executor, two thousand
Aorins to his physician, and twenty thousand
norns to bis sister in Ireland. He then drove
back to the hospital, where he died about an
hour later, sixty-three years old His rooms
we're found to be very dirty, with scarcely
any furniture. In an old sack, however
were found a number of letters of great
interest from Mazzini, Garibaldi, the chiefs
of the Irish movement, and many from
SGith O'Bren. From these letters it is
seen how hard pressed Smith OBrien was by
the constables towards the last; how when he
fled to the hills the peasants feared to give him
shelter; how he, not wishing to bring injury
upon them, determined to go down to the plain,
in company with Duffy. He was just about to
enter a railroad car when he was arrested.
Duffy endeavored to shield his friend but the
pistol of policeman pointed at him brought
him to silence. Smith O'Brien was taken by a
numerous escort to Dublin. Duffy, however,
escaped, fed to the continent, and lived over
twenty years of his life in Prague.
