Chairman and Gentlemen and Brethren =
1t used to be said, you remember, in the
olden times that sootlsayer never dared
to look in the face of another for fear he
would smile. suppose, when the breth
rem Of the bar gather themselves together,
there is considerable smiling going on,
very little when they gather them
selves together for the purpose of indulg-
ing in the praise of another. Now |
do not know whether we are going to
make th IL thing general this evening or
