Show An Orator'. Compliment.. Bostop Herald. General Devens had a rare faculty of saying pleasant things in a charming way. Instinctively a gentleman, he abounded in a habit of kindliness, and the ability to turn a graceful sentence upon almost any occasion. Some years ago a prominent Massachusetts Ollicial, who had hosts of frieuds, married mar-ried quite late in life, and a year or two later became the happy father of an heir to his possessions. Among the congratulations there was none more cordial or graceful than that of General Devens, who felicitated him upon "the fruits of his Indian summer." |
