From the East, perhaps?
Ah; just so, just so.

Eastern born myself--Virginia.
Sellers is my name--Beriah Sellers.
"Ah! by the way--New York, did you say?
That reminds me; just met some gentlemen from your State, a week or two ago--very prominent gentlemen -- in public life they are; you must know them, without doubt.

Let me see -- let me see.

Curious those names have escaped me.

I know they were from your State, because I remember afterward my old friend Governor Shackleby said to me--fine man, is the Governor--one of the finest men our country has produced--said he, 'Colonel, how did you like those New York gentlemen ?--not many such men in the world,--Colonel Sellers,' said the Governor--yes, it was New York he said--I remember it distinctly.
I can't recall those names, somehow.
