b. G Schriber wes POSTMASTER, and in
| a few preliminary remarks enlarged upon
the felicity Of the evening The speaker
considered his cup full Of Joy at being
selected as POSTMASTER at so notable a
gathering Of influential men Happy was
an inadequate expression of his seati-
| ment, and while the assemblage was not
intended to be a mutual admiration So
ciety, yet applause was opportune. He
believed every one present possessed a
hearty desire to promote the commercial
and industrial interests of St Paul
When youth ne was characterized as
being a Mohawk Dutchman, but he in
| tended forthwith to change his imputed
nationality and join in the good fellow
! ship Of gay Bohemia. 1t had been
averred that to be g Bohemian was bet
ter than a king. It's membership includ-
ed students and orators rare.
In introducing ]. Adam Bede, the first
speaker Of the evening, Mr.. Schriber as
serted that Bede's experience was as
varied as his humor was constant
Mr.. Bede said that with Soldier Nc
Cardy on his right holding up the school
marms, and II. p Hall, whom he had
seen few moments before trying to get
three men drunk enough to subscribe for
the trade Journal, he was taken at
disadvantage. He was pleased with the
music and the great men present. When
Megsrs. Gregg and Hamlin went to Egypt
| next year he expected that the latter
would find something older than the Pic
neer Press. and the former new illustra-
lions for his Sunday school class. Mr.
Bede asserted that the original Bohem-
ians whose name was perpetuated were
men who contributed to literature and
sought to improve the English language
Indeed enough OF it had been created to
spread over the Philippine islands with
the permission of the g o e.
The spirit or American liberty, con-
tinued the speaker has touched every
part of the world. No man has the
vision to see through the veil of the
future If human hopes and holy SYM
bols foreteu, the star spangled banner
will be carried through the gates ajar
and repose as companion to the cross, to
live forever as time is measured by the
prince of the eternal world.
Our Hopes" was responded to by
Ross Clarke. Hope was a greater factor
In the world than fear" the speaker
asserted in opening, land entered into
and shaped the life of every human be-
ing. OF political hopes there was one
that should be realized.
'Our friend Mr.. Bede, wants to go to
congress-" he said, land we all wish
that his hope may be realized. We know
