A Speech by "Mark Twain."

THE proprietors of the AHine recently
gave a reception at the st. James Hotel,
New York, at which were present a
large number of distinguished journal
lists, Vice-President Colfax presided.
Mark Twain spoke substantially as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen, / would rather address a
stag dinner party than any other assem-
blage in the world-[laughter] for the
reason that when you make point, those
who have been listening always applaud,
and those who have been talking to each
other and did not hear it, applaud louder
than anybody else laughter and if |
only had a speech prepared for this occa-
sion, would take genuine delight in de-
livering it. Laughter But | got the
notification to be present at this dinner
this evening, at half past eleven O'Clock
this morning, or pay what l owed to the
AIdine establishment-[lau [laughterl-and l
had to leave half an hour after that in or
der to make this trip, so / had no Oppor-
tunity of preparing a speech, and am
not one of those geniuses who can make
a speech imprOmptu. / have made a
great many happy iHlprOmptu speeches,
but / had time to prepare them.
Laughter1 Now, it is singular,
and l suppose that, but for a
circumstance which happened when was
fourteen years of age, might have rushed
blindly, into real impromptu speeches, and
injured myself good deal. Laughter.
This circumstance, which happened when
was fourteen years of age, has always
protected me against anything of that
kind, and it has led me to think a good
deal-now, don't think a good deal,
generally-[l laughter of what may
Drobahly be the moving springs of
human action. / put that in
merely because it is a good expression.
laughter Now the thing that made
the deepest impression on my mind, and
has lasted until this moment, was mat
ter in itself essentially trivial 1t occurred
when l was a boy, and it has protected
me up to this time against making a
speech when ! hadn't speech prepared.
1t was remark made by friend. He
said: 81 could have catched them cats if
had had on good ready" Laughter. I
Now, at first glance that don't appear to
convey an idea, but it does, and the meat
of it is this: don't do anything hurriedly,
don't do thing unless you are prepared
to do it; therefore, until this moment,
never have made n speech unless l had
that speech all set down and ready. This
incident Is of no consequence to you at
all, and l never made speech in my life
unless / tried TO inculcate n moral laugh
erl:unless tried TO convey instruction,
and if can make you better than you
are laughter lit is not for me to say
there is room for it, though l suppose
