presented Woman as the choicest
of all creation. With rare felicity,
he touched on the influence of
woman-and gave some examples
of how they had turned the course
of empires, and e1erted potent in
fuences on the destiny Of nations
We cannot refrain from referring to
the pleasing effect of his allusion to
the fact that Napoleon, when faithful
to Josephine was successful and hap
py, but after he had freed himself
from her influence went on to disas-
ter. His description of the inhence of
women in their homes-of the wife,
of the mother upon the husbands
and sons, was at once beautifully
conceived and brilliantly delivered.
His remarks we're tasteful and or.
nate, and his style of oratory pol
ished and charming, and st his
close he received warm applause
and congratulation.
Thus ended the banquet, the
memory of which will long be
cherished by the members of the
