incOrTigible thieves and garrOters.
Yet Dewey not only weathered the
storm, but actually presents to-day
a physique with firmness in every
limb and muscle. It is conceded by
all old acquaintance that O'DOnOvan
Rosa looks as healthful, and presents
the same quiet, Open-hearted, imper-
turbable COuntenance that he wore ia
years long past. His bronzed COM
plexion alone betrays the severe
ordeal through which he has passed,
while his hands are those of q Pittston
miner. His aversion 10 a public re-
ceptiOn at this time arises from his
unseifish disposition and his positive
reluctance to arrOgate to himself that
which he feels belongs equally to the
brave fellows now on their way to
this country. Indeed, he has very
little faith in public receptions, judg-
ing from the past, and if the cause Of
Ireland cannot be promoted thereby
he viii not consent to any such
demons tratiOn.
