pretty.
THE Minstrel Boy by the orchestra,
followed Editor Stovalps speech.
The ladies" was responded to by Lieut.
J. r. Saussy In a speech overlooking with
wit, and yet full Of tenderness, when be
spoke Of the many sacrifices woman has
made for country and man.
The music, THE Girl | Left Behind
Me- was rendered after Lieut.. Saussy's
speech.
"Irelsnd" was the theme handled by r.
J. OConnor. Esq, and it was handled well.
His heart was in mis- subject aud his tongue
elo1uently depicted the historical events of
Irelands history from the time st. Patrick
rescued it from paganism until the present
day, when the possibility of freedom does
not seem very remote.
A MEDAL FROM THE PAST.
After the regular toasts had been re-
sponded TO volunteers were called for. Col
Reilly was the first, and he made the speech
Of his life. He became enthused as he
started back through the record of the
Greens, and the language flowed rythmi-
cally from his mouth as he talked of their
glories and the pride they have always taken
morning. BE quoted the following poetry
in his speech:
You may traverse the world from Northern
Maine
To the line of the north equator;
You may go from SehaTa's desert plain
10 Vesuvius, close to the crater;
You are certain TO find an Irishman there,
If you come with never a warning,
And he's sure to be humming the darling air
'Of ST. Patrick's Day in the Morning"
Pt,t l.;
And whether at sea or on dry land,
The tenderest spot in his heart Of hearts
Is reserved for the Emerald Island.
The soil of bis birth is his proudest boast,
And he'll give you whack for warning
II you fail to respond to his patriot toast
or st Patrick's Day IA the Morning"
Col. Reilly sprang a surprise on the com
pany by presenting TO il on behalf of Mr..
John Fallon the Foley gold medal, which
he won in 1850, to be contested for annu-
ally by the members OF the Greens. This
medal was made in Ireland at the instance
of Capt. Foley thirty-thr1e years ago. The
incident was greeted with great applause
and Capt. Flsunery received it with thanks
on behalf OF the company.
THE TOAST PAR EXCELLENCE.
Hon. Robert Hodges of Macon made one
of the prettiest speeches of the banquet.
His toast brought down the house. Picking
up one of the little outonnieres which was
given to each guest, Mr.. Hodges said; 81
find before me a bouquet composed of
ferns, dewdrops and heliotropes. / return
them to YOU; ferns. for the memory of the
past; dewdrops, with pride in your present,
and heliotropes. with hope for your future
drink to your past, present and future,
and lay the flowers at your feet.
