He asked me if I had ever read a speech at the opening of ;iu observatory at Albany, by Edward Everett, who he believed lived in my part of the Union. He was not a little im...pressed when I told him that I had not only read the address, but knew Mr. Everett himself. He said that he happened to find it in the cabin of a ship, and had read it again and again.
