During the dinner Cobb’s orobestra played

THE SPEECHES.
After dessert had been served President
Meldrim requested absolute silence, and said
that during the responses no glasses would
be filled. The band struck up “St. Patrick’s
Day" amid loud applause.
After the musio Mr. Meldrim congratu
lated the society upon its Slst birthday,
and introduced Mr. Walter G.
Charlton, who responded to the
toast “St. Patrick’s day.” Mr. Charlton
■aid that the history of a people is written
in the lives of the men they honor aud that
the world from ancient Greece and Rome
hail been peopled with mightier races and
higher aims. He spoke of St. Patrick and
his uoble mission and said that his life had
fallen upon Ireldnd like the rain upon the
grateful earth.
He spoke of Emmet, Moore and
other noble Irish patriots who
had devoted their energies and lives to
their country, the causes which were just, ho
said, were never lost. Some patriot will
hold our natures to the light and gome Glad
stone voice our wrongs.
Mr. Charlton made a beautiful speech,
full of sentiment appropriate to the occa
sion, and was greeted with deafening aD
plaure and calls for “Charlton.”
After music by the orchestra the presi
dent announced that there were none who
would add more to the pleasure of the oc
casion than the young man who would re
spond to the toast “Our invited guests.”
OUR INVITED GUESTS.
Mr. Davis Freeman, In responding, said
that in elevating to his present position Mr.
Meldrim, the president of the society,
the members had net been unmindful of the
rule that he must be an Irishman or the
grandson of an Irishman. It would be hard
lo believe, said he, were we not sure of the
fact that it were otherwise, that the Hon. P.
YViltberger Meldrim had not just come over
from the “ould” country.
' While March 17,” said he. “is not theo
retically the beginulng of spring, yet, when
we see the sons of Ireland coma forth in
green, they remind us that the spring of
nature is near at hand. They remind us
that there exists in the hearts
of Irishmen that perenutal spring
of devotion to the fatherland. The exer
cise of hospitality is recoguized by our in
vited guests, and we would iavite them to
share with us even our last crust of bread.
Our portion, however, is not the division of
n crust, but plouty to eat and plenty to
drink, and good fellowship galore.
I venture to say there is no
one of your invited guests who does not feel
to-nigut that he is a Hibernian.
“1 believe that Hibernians and Irishmen
are now syn >riymous terms, at least

cnt course until there shall be no Irishman
who need its assistance.
. Ireland’s devotion to woman.
* The Irish,” said President Meldrim,
‘have been probably a devoted and
patriotic race. In one thing Ireland bas
never changed, and that is in her unfailing
honor to womanhood.” He then introduced
Mr. Thomas 8. Morgau, Jr., wdo responded
the toast “Woman.” “I feel," said Mr.
Morgan, “a peculiar advantage over
every speaker to-night. How softly
melodious fails the word woman upon the
“i. What sacred memories and pureomo
ttons it awakens and excites. Woman is the
beauty of God’s Word, man is the strength
°f his utterance. She fashions the founda
tion of character, she exhorts to obedlenoe
to God’s laws.
“Though the may have lost
her beauty. she "is radiantly,
divinely beautiful in the eyes of her chil
dren. She lends to refinement, surrounds
us with charming influence. When man
meets with misfortune he turns to meet tne
verdict of the one he loves. Thunderous
plaudits delight him not half so much as the
smiles ofjhis wife. When tbs world turns
against him, when bis horizon is overcast
and no star of promise is seen, when life
seems a disappointment and gloom, there is
one who stands by him.
“Beneath her laughing surface there is a
force of enthusiasm for a high purpose and
achievements. We should worship and bow
down before her. Her ohain is a golden
chain, and its links are love and gratitude.
With love should we of the south regard
her, for in vain will historians search to
find a more devoted being to the
cause we espoused. No work was too great
for her, no danger too threaten
ing for her to brave, but with bravery and
fortitude she said: “Duty is duty.” Her
mission was to hasten the brave, to quicken
doubting, to comfort the dying, to console
the bereaved and in her arms she took the
deprest of life’s gifts—the southern flag.”
OUR SISTER SOCIETIES.
After “To Ladies Eyes" by the band, Mr.
Meldrim introduced Judge MacDonell, who
responded to the toast, “Our sister
societies." Mr. Meldrim spoke of
the spirit of unity that the
different societies desire to cultivate one to
ward another.
Judge MaoDonell said that for no Inde
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, for no
Brotherhood of Looomotive Engineers or
Central railroad reorganization committee
did he rise to respond. “All have their merits
and uses,” he said, “and their praises are
sung on other occasions. I rise to respond to
your sister societies. We can congratulate
the Hibernian Society to-nignt on us appel
lation and on. its distinguished president,
who is ever and everywhere the beau ideal
of graceful, dashing and thoroughbred
courtesy.
“How warm and endearing is the name
of sister. It is one of the sweetest
appellations in the vooabulary of the heart.
Il suggests home and reminds us that blood
is thicker than water. We are from the
same common origin.”
The speaker then traced out in bumorouß
faney the deaoent of man through the va
rious ages. “Our old families,” said he,
“shed tears over the same old missing link,
and now together we realize what a noble
piece of work is man. We have made the
same struggle for right, fought against
same tyrants, and at last we meet
again at Georgia’s shrine illustrat
ing the truth of the dootrlne
of the survival of the fittest. All hail to
the Hibernian Society, the crowning prod
uct of creation, and may it widen even
toward the full brotherhood of man. The
responsibilities of life are measured by
wbat we may boon me. Let us therefore
treasure all that is beautiful in sentiment
and beautiful in notion.”
ST. Patrick’s country.
President Meldrim then introduced the
Rev. Father McMahon, who responded to
the toast “Ireland.”
Father McMahon alluded to reminlscenocs
connected with the old country and he
claimed that they all knew the history of
their oountrv better than all other peoples
combined. There is no one that does not
hear to-day the tales of woe of their coun
try. We claim, said he, no origla from
Rome, but we come from Phoenecian.
“Our origin dates back beyond the time
of Greece and Cadmus. We have and
olaim a grand and noble origin iti letters,
laws and poetry. We are Phoenecian in
origin and beginning.”
He concluded with the appropriate senti
ment chat an Irishman was us faithful to
the country of bis adoption as well as to his
native land.
THE PRESS.
Mr. L. P. Knight of the Atlanta Consti
tution, who responded to the toast, “The
press,” said:
“I thank you for the hospitality which
allows a stranger from the mountains to
warm at the fires of your camp. Though
separated by 100 leagues from my home be
side the Chattahoochee, 1 scarcely feel that
I have wandered far, and since I
have received your welcome and tasted
of your goodly cheer beside
your sweet Savannah, I feel that I was bora
among you, aud that, like the highland
chieftaiu, I stand upon my native heath.”
He then spoke of Savannah as the home
of Georgia’s aristocracy, the nursery of her
splendid knighthood, whose record both in
peace and war, had shamed the lance of
border ohivalry, and had written the sequel
of King Anhur’s court. He paid a glowing
tribute to Ireland, which was followed by
a tribiAe to the press.
The toast, "Savannah,” was responded to
by Judge W. D. Harden in beautiful and
appropriate words, and “Georgia" re
ceived a glowing tribute from Judge 8. R.
Atkinson of the Brunswick circuit.
The banquet of the Hibernian Society
adjourned at a late hour, after -pending
one of the most pleasant evening: in all its
history, to dream of the glories aud pleas
ures of St. Patrick’s day.

aud a constitutional remedy. There is
nothing "just as good” when you can ob

The Report of the Southwestern Com
mittee Now Ready.
It is learned that the late date, April 12,
set for the meeting of the Southwestern
stockholders at Macon had to be put at that
time as there is a clause in their by-laws re
quiring thirty days notice to be given when
suob meetings are called.
Steps have been taken, however, wbioh
will allay any disappointment any of the
stockholders may have had in regard to the
date of tne m-eting, and such steps as may
indicate to them what oourse to pursue in
regard to the reorganization plan Of the
Central system. It is probable that the le
port of the committee will be pub
lished withiu a few days, which will enable
stockholders to determine how to proceed,
as it is highly probable that the report of
the committee sent on to New York to ex
amine into the reorganization plan will meet
with the approval of the Macon meeting.
In referring to this matter Receiver Comer
said yesterday:
“I have a telegram from Capt. Raoul,
chairman of the committee that was ap
pointed at the stockholders' meeting of the
Southwestern Railroad Company in Feb
ruary, stating that the committee had
agreed upon a report, that it had been
signed by him and Mr. Gresham, and bad
been sent to Mr. Miller for bis signature, he
having previously agreed to the report, and
that be,Col.Raoul, and Mr.Gresbam thought
the report should be put in the hands of the
president. Dr. Baxter, for immediate publi
cation for the information of tbs stock
holders.
“I infer from this, and also from a tele
gram from Dr. Baxter, that the report will
be published soon.”
If this report is published, as it seams it
will be, it will pr bably have the same ef
fect as if the meeting of the Southwestern
stockholders had been held and the matter
settled, for a competent committee was
chosen to do the work, and it is lo be sup
posed that such a report as they draw up
will be adopted with very few modifica
tions.
As has been before stated in the Morning
News, there is every reason to believe that
tbs report of the committee is
entirely favorable to the re
organization plan. Such was the
statement of a gentleman from New
Yoric a few days ago, who had been in con
ference with the committee, and there la no
reason to believe from all that can bo
learned that the results of tha committee’s
report are in any way derogatory to the
plan.
Pending the investigation by this com
mittee the receipts of Southwestern stock
and securities at the Southern Bank have
been somewhat small. If the report is a
favorable oue, the securities will probnbly
come in promptly and be ready to go into
the reorganization when the time arrives
without waiting formal action by the
meeting at Macon.

Tonsils Cauterized in Sleep.
Farts Correspondence London Letter.
For cl e past five months a girl of 18, of
g iod family, had been lying in a state cf
• omplete lethargy in a private hospital at
Vesinet, outside Paris. The sleeping maiden
1 bas been recently restored to consciousness
by Dr. Reffegeau, who had charge of her.
In a peculiar manner. She usually lay
asleep witn ner mouth wido open and her
throat exposed to view. The physician
noticed that one of the tonsils was enlarged,
•o he resolved to oautenze it with a red-hot
iron, an operation which would be beneficial
to tbe patient, even if it did not have the
effect of terminating her cataleptio condi
tion.
After the iron bad done its work, the
girl, who had been previously insensible to
the pricking of pins, manifested unmistak
able signs of pain aud uttered a feeble cry.
E'rom that moment she began to return
gradually to consciousness, and at last
awoke, saying to the nun who was taking
care of her, “Where am If” The patient
had no reoollection or notion of anything
that had taken place during the five months
in which she was asleep, and manifested
the greatest surprise when told about her
extraordinary long slumber. She is now
said to tie in a normal state of health, full
of spirits, and eager to make up for her
long silence.
The Burial of Giet W. Bigby
Williamston, S. C.. March 15.— Never
in the annals of time bas our town wit
nessed so sad, so heart-rending a sight as
the home bringing of tbe remains of our
loved and honored townsman. Gist W.
Bigby, who was killed at Mount Vernon,
Ga. On heanug the sad tidings, au 6cort
of honor was formed by tbe young men of
town, who met the body at Belt, n, some
eight unite below Williamston. The wires
flashed messagis far anil near to the absent
l ived ones, all of whom hurried home for
oue last look on the face of their preoious
dead. When tbe prolonged whistle of the
evening train announced its coming the cit
izens of the town wetiten masse to meet and
convey to the widowed mother her dead
boy. May God never again permit me to
gaze on suoh a sight. Tha young brother,
just 17 years, oame in front with throe noble
ministers, who had known them both from
babyhood. Then followed the long pro
cession bearing the precious casket. Gist
was the idolized darling of an almost blind
and widowed mother, acd seldom has there
ever been such a son, and when she saw the
casket, stretching out her frail hands,
sheoriedout: “la this all that is to come
back to mammal O, my boy, my boy—my
Gist.” “Gist, O, Gist,” came in agonizing
cries as mother, sisters, brother, aunts aud
oousius knelt dinging to the casket of their
idolized dead. But the handsome face was
still, the dark hair brushed back from tbe
marble brow, tbe mute lips powerless to toll
them of the cruel death from a oowardly
hand, or respond to tbe anguished mother's
cries, “Can you but speak, if but a word, to
mammal” All night long subdued lights
on the beautiful dead fee- as it lay In
its sable-draped parlor, and sad watchers
sat in siienos.
On tha following day the female col
lege and male academy suspended exerolses
and business houses closed, and all wended
their way to the churoh, where three minis
ters testified, each In their own eloquent
style, to the loveliness of life and character
of Gist W. Bigby. Then the organ sobbed
its low, sad requiem, the casket, covered
with floral offerings from almost every
home, was reverently borne to the cemetery,
followed by the largest concourse of
people ever seen In our town,
and laid in its final resting place
by kiudred dust, end the broken-hearted
family and the frail mother, who will never
rally from the shock, went back to the
home thus desolated by auother man’s
hand.
The sun has set—shadows gather—but
stars look down in the holy radiance on the
new made grave, and flowers sweet and
rare shed their fragrance thereon, and,
kneeling, we place on the hallowed spot the
immortelles of love, honor and regret
YVILLIAMSTON,
Old Jones in Town.
From flie Cedar Ravidt Gazette.
Say what ye will o’ city ways, they ain’t the
kind for me;
I found that out the time I went a-visitln’ ter
see
My son, who's doin’ bizness in a block about the
SIX !
O’ the Allegheny mountains—er 1 can’t believe
my eyes.
I thought I wouldn’t write him I was coinin',
hut Id make
The trip all unbenownst ter him, an’ walk right
in an’ take
Him unawares, because I knowed surprise ’and
make ttie joy
Lots greater to him when I stood right there
before the boy.
An' when I stepped Inside tbe door, expectin’
there to see
My own dear son. a little offico kid step pod up
ter ine,
An’ wtieti I said I’d see Steve Jones he said ter
me: “Old Pard,
You can’t see Mr. Jones until you've sent him
in your card."
Jehosaphat! but I was mad, an’ said ter him:
“My chil’.
I’d like tor take ye’ ’cross my knee an' tan yer
fer a while.
If Stephen June* is in this place you trot him
out,” said I;
“Tnis thing o’ Bondin’ in yer card don’t fit yer
Uncle Cy.”
At that gome other fellers all commenced a
actin’ queer,
An’ one lal 1 down bis pen and said: ‘My lords,
what have we here?"
In just erbout a minit I’d a thrashed the saucy
pup
Had not my son come in just then an’ cleared
the matter up.
