When members of another well-known criminal tribe were arrested on the eve of one of their operations, they were set at liberty by a judicial decision. The proof, it appears, ought to have conformed to the precedent set by certain trials of Fenians in England.
It is sometimes thus with the men who show the most daring front in battle, and at the call of duty expose themselves to dangers the most appalling; while such as are more cautious often fall in their first encounter with the enemy. The British forces at Fort Erie, from the very nature of things, had the Fenians at great advantage on the return of the latter from Ridgeway.
At this time the police noticed outside the court house two men hanging about whom they suspected to be Fenians, and a policeman made a rush at one of them to arrest him, in which he succeeded, but not until the man had drawn a dagger and attempted to stab him, the blow being warded off. The other made his escape."
But however this may be, it is as well to bear witness to some of the elements of my own experience; and I can answer for it, at least, that there are some people in the South who will not be pleased at being swept into the rubbish heap of history as rebels and ruffians; and who will not, I regret to say, by any means enjoy even being classed with Fenians and Sinn Feiners.
The remaining two were soldiers: one an American infidel, who cursed Catholics and Fenians alike for getting him into trouble.
My great terror was yesterday's Matinee, but it went off splendidly. I hear from London that the general question in society is, what will be blown up next year by the Fenians. With love to Mrs. Fields, believe me, Ever Affectionately yours, And hers, CHARLES DICKENS Following this letter to Mr. Fields was the note dated 1869 and the recipes for the brewing of pleasant beverages.
"Scarcely that," returned the Kid, "and what's more, from the course the Fenians are taking, they must soon be into it against three or four times their number, and serve them right; but what luck have you had during the night?" he continued, turning to Jack, "although I suspect there was not much chance in the direction in which you spent it."
"It means, I think," said the young soldier, with some reluctance, "son of a female dog: Do you compare your psalms, To the tales of the bare-arm'd Fenians" "Are you sure you are translating that last epithet correctly, Hector?" "Quite sure, sir," answered Hector, doggedly. "Because I should have thought the nudity might have been quoted as existing in a different part of the body."
It was a long while before the Fenians knew who that could be walking by the side of Fionn, but when they did they laughed and mocked till Grania bowed her head for shame. 'This time, O Fionn, you will guard her well, said Ossian. For seven years the sons of Diarmid exercised themselves in all the skill of a warrior, and then they came back to Grania's house.
We don't believe in the Parish Church; but a good deal of people do, and why shouldn't they have their way in a small fight as well as the rest of folk? All, except Mormons and Fenians, who honestly believe in anything, are entitled to respect.
