He, however, protests | that no disrespect was intended, but that it was not etiquette in this country to drink a toast standing except to the memory of deceased persons and to ladies. Others, quite as well versed in etiquette as Mr. Lawson, claim that the health of the President ought to be drunk standing. Mr. Lawsoa will not put his foot in it again. { iM. ToDN 2.
