THE GREAT MOVE
The Professor at the Breakfast Table. THE other morning we had served up with breakfast the full text of Professor Mackenzie's speech delivered at the Highland '. Society's Ceillidh the night before. This speech made breakfast very cheerful. "Tlia giaiomh agus aboir iomchuidh luachnior," cries the Professor, "agus taitneach againn ri dheanamh ami e chomunn so." Yes, indeed! We are greatly indebted to Professor Mackenzie, for brightening the morning in this way. We consider his language choice. That form of speech is delectable and of great value. What did Mr. Fisher, say when he read 'that Mr. Fletcher would positively stand again for Wellington Central this November? Mr. Fisher said. "Da Dahh's tmy name, and I don't care a dochas Avhor againn gun. sealbhaich what hp*>« uens. As to Fletcher—well, e aig wi chuinneachaidh agus!" That's what he said, and we feel with. Professor Mackenzie and the Lord of Rainbows that this lucidity of speech rjrevents entanglements.
