"Sorry to hear that Sellers is knocked out again." "Sellers?" echoed Waythorn, starting at his partner's name. Varick looked surprised. "You didn't know he was laid up with the gout?" "No. I've been away I only got back last night." Waythorn felt himself reddening in anticipation of the other's smile. "Ah yes; to be sure. And Sellers's attack came on two days ago. I'm afraid he's pretty bad.
No utterance of the Whig ever attracted such attention. I tell you, man, that, your poem aside, your advent in politics with this thing to your credit makes you a figure of state importance; with the ode gad, sir, your canvass is of national concern." "It sounds like a dream of Colonel Mulberry Sellers's," laughed Graves, but he warmed to the editor's mood. "You're sure I can have the nomination?
It was soon apparent that this was indeed the dinner: it was all on the table: it consisted of abundance of clear, fresh water, and a basin of raw turnips nothing more. Washington stole a glance at Mrs. Sellers's face, and would have given the world, the next moment, if he could have spared her that. The poor woman's face was crimson, and the tears stood in her eyes.
Sellers complied with the request, when a slate, which had been held by the Medium under the opposite leaf, was passed across, and, after touching Mr. Sellers's hand, fell to the floor. After several repetitions, the slate was passed into Mr. Slade wears slippers, into and out of which he can readily slip his feet.
Sellers's was not sumptuous, in the beginning, but it improved on acquaintance.
True enough; but holding on too long had utterly ruined both of them; and the saddest part of it was, that they never had had so much money to lose before, for Sellers's sale of their mule crop that year in New Orleans had been a great financial success. If he had kept out of sugar and gone back home content to stick to mules it would have been a happy wisdom.
Naturally, the younger pilots amused themselves by imitating Sellers, and when Sam Clemens wrote abroad burlesque of the old man's contributions, relating a perfectly impossible trip, supposed to have been made in 1763 with a Chinese captain and a Choctaw crew, it was regarded as a masterpiece of wit. It appeared in the "True Delta" in May, 1859, and broke Captain Sellers's literary heart.
The stateroom cabin had come in with Captain Isaiah Sellers's Prairie in 1836, the first boat with such luxuries ever seen in St. Louis, according to Sellers. The Yorktown had 40 private cabins. It is interesting to compare the Yorktown with The Queen of the West, the giant British steamer built for the Falmouth-Calcutta trade in 1839.

Leidy pushed a thin knife-blade between the slates at the unprotected corner, marked by the arrow on the sketch. Then Mr. Sellers pushed in a thick knife-blade a little to one side of Dr. Leidy's. Leidy's exactly at the corner, and Mr. Sellers's at the point marked, and neither of them was worked about between the slates.
