1 I " HARCHIlTCr TSS0UG2 GE033IA. An After-Dinner Tcast That General Sherman Interrupted. K-J "'' Tthpnich. Washington. J- C, October 2th. When the national convention of Jaw-i vers met in the West some years ago. Mr. Dii Pignon was sent to represent Ceorgia, his native State. Peing one of the rising young men of hi.-j region, lie was also invited to respond to the toast : ' The Young Manhood of the South," at the large banquet to he giv en. The voung Jawyf-r prepared hi.- re ply with care, feeling he had done his het, which was all the Bar could ex expect of him. His toast was. the tenth in line, and the toast master had pro nounced in distinct tones the title of the toast, and added that Mr. Fleming Dm Jiignon, of Georgia, would reply. The lawyer rose slowly to his feet, glancing as he did so down the long double line of expectant, polite, up turned faces smiling at him, encourag ing him to proceed. His "piece" was all clearly in mind ; lie remembered every planned gesture, every turn and "point" lie proposed to make. 'Gentlemen of the Bar," he began, j "General .Sherman," delightedly broke in the toastmaster, and "Sherman !" "Snerman !" was echoed all down the tal.de, which saw dozens of men stand to their feet to greet the great soldier lawyer as he entered the room. General Sherman had promised to attend this convention, but had been detained by other engagements until this late hour, and his advent was hail ed with a burst of welcome as lie ad vanced down to his vacant chair. Ev ery one was shaking hands with him, creating quite a hubbub. When it finally subsided, the toastmas ter turned again to the young Geor gian, and said : "Will Mr. Du Bignon now proceed with the toast, 'The Young Manhood or the South?" HE WAS DAZED. The Georgian sat for an instant daz ed, tie was young, and the excite ment breaking into his scech had "lloored" him. What was he going to do? What was he going to say? Every line of his prepared toast had left him, every bit of his plan of thought had deserted him. To stand there a confirmed dul laid ; to be unable to respond to the toast that involved nil his patriotism, when that speech was intended to show the Northerners just what the South erners could do and ha! It was hu miliating; it was agonizing. All this, however, did not occupy the spare of time it takes to tell it. It flashed through his brain like light ning. and even during the latter part of these thoughts he was rising me chanically to his feet. He stood still for a second and saw General Sherman's face looking at him with interest. The silence was appall ing ! "P-jor fellow, he doesn't know what to say." In a quiet tone, in which, however, he felt a quher, he commenced : "Gentlemen, I am confounded ! The advent of so noted a warrior as General Sherman lias made me forget every word of my speech" the men all look ed anxious and interested "but I think you can scarcely wonder at my confusion. Georgians are so used to the fact of General Sherman following them, that it is enough to simply par alyze any one of them to be asked to follow the General." There was a pause for an instant over the voung fellow's audacity, and then the room rang with appreciative applause of his excellent wit. Men leaned oyer their plates and im mcdiatclv fixed themselves into atti tudes ot interest ; they at once perceiv that, at least, an original young chaj was going to speak. Mr. Iu Bignon Jelt the jer.sona magnetism he had excited reflect on himself, and continued with more as su ranee. lie said that he would tell a storv about the 3-011 ng manhood of the South the very 3'oung manhood, including his first impressions of General Sherman HIS GOOD STOKY. The time was the civil war, the place Millcdgeville, Ga. 'T was only little shaver." he started, "staying at v ?1011)e, taking care of my mother and i younger brother. All the men had gone to war. The cry started early in the morning, 'Sherman is coming !' It : ncreased from a whisper to a trighten ed shout.

So, umping out of the wii.d w, I ran to the soldier and, doubling up my fist, cried : 'Dog-gone you. old Yankee, if 011 take that pony I'll report you to leneral Sherman.' " He stopped for an instant, and then ontinued, courteously : "General, he did take my pom-, and this is my first opportunity to report to you. Mr. J)u Bignon, of Georgia, won the daw Men cheered him as he took his seat for his cleverness, and General Sherman,, jumping up, said: "Will some one present me to the young reb el?"
