| II is useless lOr u.s. attempt a utScflp-
ti0n of the appearance of the tables, or the
many beautiful and elegant ornaments they
contained, not TO say anything of the
choice yiands, Injuries and delicacies with
which they were so bountifnlly filled. The
bill Of fare, which is printed below, will
afford some idea of the feast prepared on
this occasion by mine host, Kean, through
his chief of staff, Venable, the well known
caterer to the wants Of the inner man.
Before entering, however, TO review of
the programme under discussion, let us
take a glance at table in the center of the
room, which in medical point of view was
| decidedly attractive. Ii contained num-
Der of miniature skeletons, surrounded
| with number Of well known medicines,
contributed from the drug house OF Demo-
vile & Co., such as Cod Liver Oil, Castor
| Oil, Compound Cathartic Pills, Quinine
! Pills, Cooks Pills, case of surgical instru-
menis, mortar and other contributions in
| that line.
But to the principal tables again. There
are two hundred and twenty plates, and
the rattle of knives and forks is satisfactory
evidence that the physicians Of Tennessee
have diagnosis before them easily under
stood, and upon which the doctors present
in their consultation, did agree. But we
will here give programme of the good
things entered into with genuine surgical
skill:

sembled at this board not only the mem-
bers Of the society, but also the Governor
of the State, representatives Of the United !
States Army and of the leading interests
Of the State. He gave the following toast:
Tennessee Medical SOciety-The foster
mother of medical science, the bond of pro-
fessional fellowship. She wears the honors
Of fifty years thick about heI.
Music-"Her bright smile haun,s me
STILL
DR.. Jno. W. Richardson, President
Tennessee Medical Society, responded,
the citizens of Nash
vile for the splendid banquet at
which the Society had been entertained.
He felt that the Society was at length
placed in position in which il would be
credit TO the State and 10 the profession
generally. They would do all they could
to make It a perfect success. Once more
he returned thanks for the toast.
The next toast was as follows: "The
Government Of the United States, the libe-
raj patron Of science"
DR. Weed, Surgeon Of the Post, explain
ed that Col. Van NooSt, Post Command
ant, who intended TO have responded TO
The toast, was unavoidably absent.
The next toast was: Tennessee, centra
in her geographical position, genial in her
climate, liberal and enlightened in her gov
with room for all.
Gov. John q. Brown responded as fol-
owS: al have never felt half so proud as to-
hight in representing the grand and glorious
Nd State Of Tennessee. She is a grand and
,lOrOus Stale. She is our mother and we
II Of us, native and adopted Sons, love and
lOnOr her history and her traditions, for |
hey are-tO disparage no other State -glO- !
ions. Tennessee las contributed more |
han any other State of the Union of her |
.ge 10 the grandeur and greatness of the
lliiOna government. Thrice has the |
latiOn entered her borders and invited !
ler sons to assume the Chief Magistrscy of
he Government. Thrice, and Oilener have I
lrr heroic and chiyalTic sons led her armies
IpUu hundred baltle-tirlds. To the galaxy {
# Senators Tennessee has added redoubled
lstre, while in the popular branch of the |
ati0nal Congress, she has contributed {
ralors and statesmen inferior Ia 10 other I
tate in the Union. Then why may we '
Ot be proud Of Tennessee? We are proud I
f her geographical position, of her grand 1
owering mountains, her fruitful vsllies and {
Majestic streams, Of her brave and gallant {
Ons and fair and beautiful women. !
Applause And may not Tennessee
oaSt, ! ask again, of her geographical pO- /
itiOn, central as it is. Bounded upon the {
asst by the ''MOther Of States and states e
men," and the mother of Tennessee; on il
he south 10y the rolling prairieS of Alabama &
nd Mississippi and the genial State Of 9
ieorgia on the west by the great 'Father b

r. genial, inviting the Northern man and 0
he Southern man; him from the East alike
18th him from the West, TO come into {.
Iime-well, what shall say of her cline?
lie most | can say Of it, and the least | Il
an say. is that it is of all others the most u
limical to the medical profession. (Laugh- g
