ton Of few remarks from Mr.. Gilmer, and Mr..

speech, denied that he had ever been drunk-be-
cause drink could not make him drunk. On an
average, he had drank twelve glasses Of brandy and
water day, and sometimes nineteen glasses Of
whiskey punch at hight, but though he saw three
ffihs Of his companions drunk sround him, he was
proof against its intoxicating qualities He said he
had joined teetosal society for the sake Of exam
pie. The celebrated John Hawkins. of Baltimore,
terminated the nights proceedings and taken alto
gether. il was the presiest affair Of the sort that
could be imagined. sa IS s,sa .g -A.
