t lost its character as a summer resort; and, five years later, the New Yorker, in an article setting forth the growth of the city, said, Her streets, lacking more direct appliances, have been sun-dried and rain-washed till they are passably, if hardly, respectable. This was the city on one of whose wharves an Albany boat landed Horace Greeley one summer morning. His equipment for a struggle for a living among entire strangers he has thus described: I was twenty years old the preceding February; tall, slender, pale, and plain; with ten dollars in my pocket, summer clothing worth perhaps as much more, nearly all on my back, and a decent knowledge of so much of the art of printing as a boy will usually learn in the office of a country newspaper.
