Ex-COngressman Sweat

Ex-Congressman Sweat was referred to
as one of the old men and was asked to
speak to the younger men. Earnestly and
eloquently Mr.. Sweat said that while he
was really unprepared he hoped that the
time would never come when he would be
so old and SO disabled that he could not
speak a word for Bowdoin. He said that
he was really too old himself to take part
in any such gathering as this. But 1
remember" said he, last year in the old
museum of GiZeh / a mummy of
Rameses II, and l looked with admiration
and veneration at the features of this old
gentleman, for 1t really seemed as though
he recognized me and was trying to ask
after some of mis- cor temporaries, Gen.
Howard. the venerable chief justice and
the car of America. 1t is fifty-sx years
stree / graduated from old Bowdon. This
is a long time. But 1 must say that if
old Bowdoin had no mere to show for her
hundred years of work than this little
group of men around this table she yet
might well feel repaid for the time, the
NOR ey and the effort she has expended She
has sent out the peers of any men in
every rank of life. She has given us

Hawthorne, the mysterious and astute and

This was the close of the formal speak

est. Martins" the old song that has been
sung at every commencement at Bowdoin,
was sung by these graduates last evening"
led off by Rev. Frank Sewall, who always
acts as choirmaster at the Bowdoin dinners.
In a few pleasant words the POSTMASTER
introduced President Hyde, with the re-
mark that none of the college professors at
BowdOin are over forty years of age. When
Mr.. Hyde, he said, took charge of the col
lege found affairs in very bad condi-
lion, but since he has been at the head
the progress has been steady and is shown
by the appearance of the campus and In
every other way. He was the youngest man
who had ever received the degree OF ID. ID.
from Harvard.
DIR. hyde began his address to the alumni
by speaking OF the embarrassment that he
felt at attempting oratory in Washington,
the center of eloquence. He supposed, how
rate man would do, and he told story on
DR.. Eliot of Harvard that illustrated his
position. 1t is said OF DR.. Eliot that at the
time Phillips Brooks was selected as Bishop
of Massachusetts, he met Dean Lawrence
one day and said that II was too bad that a
good preacher had been taken from the pull
pit to make a bishop, when a second-rate
man would have done well. Two years
later, when he had evidently forgotten his
first remark, DIR. Eliot again met Dean
Lawrence, who mad just been chosen TO
succeed the late Bishop Brooks. Il want

is very excellent choice. When Bishop

a church in this city Gen. Sewall and Gen.
Howard, but Senator Frye had wandered
off into the Presbyterian fold, that he
could not hold himself responsible for all
that the Senator from Maine had done. If
he had had the car under him he. might
have been overthrown himself. rT
Senator Frye was called for again to an
swer and told a number of good stories and
went on to speak of the brilliant prospects
for the future of the old college.

barrier, is g serpent killer of no mean
ability and is endowed by nature with legs
yellow scales absolutely impervious to
any ophidian TOOTH Although it does not
prey exclusively on snakes, but also kills
and devours frogs, nevis and lizards, the
barrier is of very great service in its ma
tive country, which contains many species
of deadly snakes, which it searches for on
the wing, hawking at no great distance
from the ground over the places they fire.
