Thackeray. to the personal knowl-
edge of Curtis and myself, did many
strange things while he was in the
country, but the most astonishing of
all his acts was the manner in which
he left America and hts best friends
here. 1t was particularly embarrass-

every outward aspect of cold and pur-

After making a successful lecture
trip through the south, II / remember
correctly, Thackeray returned to New

that happy spirit, sent us word that

AS l finished speaking. almost
