A BROKEN SPEECH
Mr Goschen may perhaps recollect tiio Jubilefe dinner of the Oxford Union in 1873. That waft in his Radical days, and he may perhaps say, with .Souther, that he is no more ashamed of having been a Radical than of having been young. On the occasion referred to, the late Sir John Mowbray, the most genial of men, proposed his health, and said : "My friend Mr Goschen has been long enough at the Admiralty ——" He was going to add words Of a complimentary nature, but some young Tories who had dined well were siitisiie<? with the sentence as it stood, and cheered it with all the power of their bines. Nobody rejoice* at Mr Gosehen's retirement from the Admiralty now.
