Wheu the toastmaster introduced the
guest of the Lengne, says tho roport,
tlio Oregon's hora was nct very brave.
Ho onlv spoke a few Eeutcnces of faio
well aud they were in a brokon, lioarso

wliilo uurestrained tears stood in his
eyes :
"No lnau conld stand heTe without

vice lioro. 1 conuot. expross my tcoi-
