TIE arrival in Europe of Mr.. J. J. 0'Keny the

visit to Cespedes and subsequent Imprisonment in
Cuba excited so much interest in the United
States, recalls to our mind the history Of a some-

in Dublin in the year 1S43 and was educated for
the legal profession, the chief road to preferment
and position in Ireland. Dry law studies were
not however, much to his taste, so he abandoned
the university and, after some wandering on the
Continent returned TO London, where for some
years he divided his time between literary and
art studies. Dissatisfied with his progress
in art he entered the French army, and
took part in the campaigns against the Kabyles
the summer of 1866 he was surprised and made
prisoner by the troops OF Canaes, notorious
Mexican guerilla, but was fortunate enough to
nnd friend in one OF the Mexican officers, who
saved him from being shot and facilitated his
escape during the night. After some very narrow
capture OF Matamoros and the defeat OF the
Austrian and Imperial Mexican troops by the
united republican bands under Escobedo had cut
OF all chance OF reJolning the French army, he
proceeded to New York. At that time political
excitement ran very high in Ireland, and, an ap-

connection with the press he soon attracted the
attention OF the British government by an out
spoken opposition to the arbitrary measures
adopted by the Ministry 10 crush public opinion.

rest, but, though he remained constantly in the
United Kingdom, he had the good fortune to es-
cape falling into the hands OF the authorities. The
defeats sustained by the French army, and the
danger OF the Republic, induced Mr.. O'key to re-
join the army during the Franco-Prussian war. and
some time before the fall OF Paris he was commits

raise an Irish brigade. He was actually engaged
In the embarkation OF the men when the lall OF
