Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Carlyle's laugh and other surprises, chapter 23 (search)
. The journey we have lately taken was for the express purpose of seeing all the universities or schools of any considerable name in the country. This in a couple of months we easily accomplished, and of course saw professors, directors, and schoolmasters — men of great learning and men of little learning, and men of no learning at all — in shoals. This is from Cogswell again, and is certainly a clarion appeal as to the need of thoroughness in teaching and learning:-- Gottingen, July 13, 1817. I hope that you and every other person interested in the College are reconciled to Mr. Everett's plan of remaining longer in Europe than was at first intended, as I am sure you would be do you know the use he makes of his time, and the benefit you are all to derive from his learning. Before I came to Gottingen I used to wonder why it was that he wished to remain here so long; I now wonder he can consent to leave so soon. The truth is, you all mistake the cause of your impatience: y

ept in regard to my correspondence. Mr. Gallatin returned from Geneva two days ago, and, after calling upon me himself when I was out, civilly sent his secretary to desire me to come to him, and give him some account of this extraordinary insult to my citizenship. I shall go this morning, but that will be the end of the whole affair; for, even if he should take the matter more seriously in hand than he will think prudent or I should desire, he would obtain no apology or explanation. July 13, 1817. My affair with the police has come to so singular a conclusion that, after all I have said about it, I cannot choose but finish its history. Yesterday morning Mr. Gallatin came to see me rather earlier than it is common to make visits, and, on entering my room, seemed not a little embarrassed.

1858, while Russia was involved in her desperate war with the allied powers, made such a sensation throughout the world. Her name as Empress was Alexandra Feodorowna, though before her marriage she was called the Princess Frederika Louisa Charlotta Wilhelmina. She was a daughter of King Frederick William III. of Prussia, and a sister of the present King and the Prince Regent of that kingdom. She was born July 13th, 1798, and was married to Nicholas (then only crown Prince of Russia,) July 13th, 1817. The Emperor Alexander II. is her son, and she leaves also five other children; the Grand Dukes Constantine, Nicholas and Michael; the Grand Duchess Dowager of Louchtenberg; the Grand Duchess Olga, married to Prince Charles of Wartemberg.--The deceased Empress was a woman of noble character and much beloved, not only by her family, but by the people of Russia. For some years she has suffered from a malady of the most distressing nature, so that her death is not a matter of surprise.
