Finigan, swollen with an indignation which he could no longer suppress, and stimulated by a glass or two of whiskey, took three or four of the neighbors over to a corner, where, whilst his eyes rested on Dennis with a most withering expression of scorn, he exclaimed "Here, hand me that manual, and get out o' my way, you illiterate nonentity and most unsufferable appendage to religion."
"Now, Finigan I beg your pardon O'Finigan," said Hycy, when they were seated in the little back tap-room of the public-house with refreshments before them, "I think I have reason to be seriously displeased with you." "Displeased with me!" exclaimed his companion; "and may I take the liberty to interrogate wherefore, Mr. Hycy?" "You misrepresented me to Bryan M'Mahon," said Hycy.
We afterwards had some able men on the paper. Among these was John McArdle, who left us, as I have said, to join the "Nation." He became later a well-known dramatic author, his chief works being burlesques and pantomimes. We also had James Lysaght Finigan, of whom I speak elsewhere.

"Arra, Art, do you remember the day you crossed the weir, below Tom Booth's," pursued Toal, "when the river was up, and the wather jist intherin' your mouth?" "That was the day Peggy Booth fainted, when she thought I was gone; begad, an' I was near it." "The very day."
The hint was immediately taken with respect to them and Vincent, all of whom had been engaged in coming under Hycy's auspices they were apprehended and imprisoned, the chief evidence against them being Teddy Phats, Peety Dhu, and Finigan, who for once became a stag, as he called it.
These words he uttered with great coolness; and Hycy, who was in many things a shrewd young fellow, deemed it better to wait until the liquor, which was fast disappearing, should begin to operate. At length, when about three-quarters of an hour had passed, he resolved to attack his vanity. "Well, well, Finigan, as regards this letter, I must say I feel a good deal disappointed." "Why so, Mr.
In consequence of an accidental conversation which Teddy Phats, and Finigan the tippling schoolmaster had, concerning Vincent, the stranger I spoke of, who, it appears, lives next to Finigan's school-house, Teddy discovered, through the pedagogue, who, by the way, is abroad at all hours, that the aforesaid Vincent was in the habit of going up every night to the most solitary part of the mountains, but for what purpose, except upon another distillation affair, he could not say."
On this occasion, however, Hanna perceived with equal surprise and pleasure that she kept her ground. "Sit ye, merry jinteels!" said Finigan, as he entered; "I hope I see you all in good health and spirits; I hope I do; although I am afraid if what fame an' by the way, Mrs.
"At any rate, Misther Finigan, give the boys a holiday to-morrow, and be down wid us airly." "There is not," replied Finigan, who was now pretty well advanced, "I believe widin the compass of written or spoken language and I might on that subject appeal to Mr.
He feared that no project, the knowledge of which was held in common with Finigan, could be long kept a secret; and for that reason he make up his mind to postpone the matter, and allow it to die away out of the schoolmaster's mind ere he bestowed any further attention upon it. In the meantime, the state of the country was gradually assuming a worse and more depressing character.
