In a little parlor down-stairs of Mencci’s house in Staten
Island were three large altar-candles in the Italian colors of
red, white and green which, Mencci told us (says a correspondent
of the _Century_) he and Garibaldi had amused themselves

Rome when the Italian army should enter the Eternal City and
make it the capital of United Italy.” When Rome was recovered,
three other candles in the Italian colors were actually sent to
Garibaldi there. (Text.)
