The Last Sad Hours of Mr. firrclcy's

Eventful Life.

Horneo Greeley is ilcmll He imscil arery restless night Thursday. He raved ly

all night, threw his arras wildly about,and rolled and tosse d from one side of the bedto the other. At 8 A. M. yeiterdajr he remainedtotally unconscious. Ills extremities graduallybecame cold, and he was motionless In his bed.I)r. Choate, Miss Ida Greeley, Mr. and Mr. JohnII. Stuart, and Aunty Lamson were In constantattendance, hut Mr. Greeley did not recognizethem. During the afternoon ho appeared to bepraying Once he tald aloud, In a Mrnnc voice,

I know that my Hedeemer llveth." An hourlater he repeated several times, "I died beforeI was born," and at precisely 1 o'clock hakltrmed those about him by so) Inz, In his natu-ral tone of voice: "Jt Utfcuit." These wore hislist words. He then ogsln relapsed Into a stateof total unconsciousness. Ills replratlons be-

came weaker, his extremities colder, and his'

lace bora the unmistakable Imprint of death.fte was pulseless at the wrist, and thus re-

mained until S P.M.CONSCIOl'SNLfS AT LAST.

Mr. Ilcglnald& Hart and Whltelaw Held call-e- d

during the evening and were admitted to Mr.Greeley's room and bodilde. Mr. Held took thedying man's hand and avkod Mr. Greeley, " Dorou know me!"

The great editor nodded bit head In theaffirmative, touched his breast with the handthat was disengaged, nnd again relapsed Into astate of Insensibility. Dr. Choate raid that Itwas the last flicker of the expiring flame, andthe friends quietly awaited the final scene.

Gradually and slowly the Icy hand of denthwas enveloping tho prostrate Journalist. Illsbreathing, though lets labored, was growingweaker, bis pulse was Imperceptible, and

on bis brow. Then doath slowlyspproached and bore his spirit away. At pre-

cisely ten minutes before seven o'clock lastnight Horace Greeley died without a struggle.

TDK DEATH HED.

At the tltno Miss Ida Greeley was his onlyrelative present. She was kneeling near thehead of the bed, and praying for her father'ssoul, wheu she notlied that he had ceacdbreathing. Dr. Choate was at once called. Hopronounced him dead. Then ensued n scene ofgrief and sorrow a the almost heart-broke- n

daughter, who had ht both mother and fatherwithin thirty days, was removed to anotherapartment. Aunty Lamon. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart,and Mlas Uroderlck alo witnessed the deathscene.

The room In which Mr. Greeley died n ntarge one on the northwest corner of the Ilitfloor of Dr. Choate'a houe. It was a bright one,neatly carpeted, but devoid of chairs, pictures,ornaments, wash basin, or any small articles offurniture. All these had been removed whenMr. Greeley first manifested evidence of vio-lence. Itofore they were removed, however, hean one occasion broke his watch to plcea andtit another time threw a kerosene lamp on thefloor. The burning oil limited the carpet, andlisJ It not been that an alarm was ImmediatelyClren the house might have been destroyed byOre.

The disease first developed Itself violently twoWeeks axo at a meeting of the trusteesof the Tribune, held at the residence of Mr.Samuel Sinclair. The next day Dr. Krackowlzerwas called In by Mr. Alvln J. Johnson. Thentame the consultation and the unanimous ver-dict of the doctors that acute mania had set In.

Tho seal placed upon Dr. Choato'a Hps In rela-tion to the actual condition and treatment ofhis patient, and the development of the disease,It'prlves history of an Important chapter In thelife of Horace Greeley. Nervous excitement,lliappolnted hopes, and loss of sleep doubtlesstraduced tho fatal disorder, while n terribleiieutal strain proving too groat for the exhaustedphysical system, hastened the result.

The funeral will probably take place on Tues-la- y

from Dr. Chapln'a Church. The tluif,and full particulars will appear In

near Providence, he passed tbrouirh IlbodeIfhitid to his native State.

Tlin TlltP TO HIS NATtVK STATt.At Manchester, N. 11., Auk. 7, Mr. Greeley was

honored with a frreat popular reception. In re-

sponse to cries for a speech, ho spoke hrlcrilr o(his eatly data and his family history. The

day he spoke at Concord on the future ofNew Hampshire, nnd the noxt threo dajs hespent In Ilradford, among tho mountains, andmade tho ascent of Mount Kcarsarge, iie.it ly4,000 feet above the surrounding country.

On Aug. 12, Mr. Greeley delivered speeches InTllton, Laconla, l'lj mouth, Lisbon, Littleton,Whltefleld, and Lancaster. Tho following dayhe spoke at Gorham and on Mount Washington.The next day, Aug. It, bo went to Portland,Maine, where ho was received by the whole peo-ple, and In the City Hall delivered a powerfulrolltlcal speech, the first made by him duringthe campaign.

ma TOt-- Of MAINETin severe criticisms made bv the opposition

press on this speech visibly affected his spirits.His vivacity and fund of humor seemed to leavehim, and from that time lie became subject tofits of moodiness. That ntght ho was serenaded,and he responded In a manner Indicating thateven If his friends should be dissatisfied withhim, and If his life was to end then, he wouldconsider that he had not lived In vain.

From Portland ho went to Augusta, Thespeech lie delivered there read like an editorialarticle. He raid his business was that of ajournalist : by that he had earned what he hadspent and the little he had kept. Its tone par-took of despondency.

Then retracing his steps he stopped at Ports-mouth, and spoke of the recollections of hisearly childhood and the part his forefathers hadborne In the War for Independence. At llyeDeach he spoke agalu, nnd there for tho firsttime since leaving Portland he became face-tious.

On tho 18th of Atigut he spoke at HamptonIleacb, and then began his journey homeward,passing through Uoston and the larger tonus ofMassachusetts. He was enthusiastically re-

ceived all alone the route. At Worcester hosadly remarked ton friend that he hoped thopeople would be as zealous and numerous onelection day. His rest was broken and very Ir-

regular during the entire journey.BTAmlMl toil THE WaT.

Meanwhile Mrs. Greeley's health became moreImpaired and Mr. Greeley's spirits more droop-ing. The leadens of the Liberal Itcpubtlcan andDemocratic parties advised him to make n tourthrough the Western States. At first he stren-uously rcfued, but when tinted he reluctantlyconsented. On the morning of September 18 hestarted on his Western trip. As he bade adieuto one of his most Intlmato friends, grasping hishand, he said, "If I thought I could be elected,I would never mako this trip, but I want toleave a good record behind me."

That day ho delivered speeches at New limns-wic- k

and.Trcnton, N. J.; Ilrlitol, Downltigtown,Coatcsvlllc, Parksbun:, Peunliigtouvllle, Lancas-ter. Mountjuy, Mlddletown, Horrlsburg, New-port, MlfUIn, Lewlstown, Huntingdon, Tyrone,and Altoonu, Pu. The following day ho ad-dressed large audiences at the State fair at In-diana, Pa., at Orecusburg, and delltercd a mem-orab- lo

speech at Pittsburgh. This speech wasfull of force and oven bitterness. Cincinnati,lAHilMllle, Indlannpolls, and Cleveland neronext Usltcd.

ATTLMIT8 TO 1NJIM1K Mri. Onr.rtXT.At Iuilnlllo und Cleveland attempts were

made to analnatt hlin, but fortunately theyproved abortive. At Louisllle u brick wasthrown into his carrlogo by n negro. It missedIts uiaik, and struck Itandolph of NewJersey, who sat beside hltu. At Cleveland astone was thrown Ibnuigli a car window. Themissile struck a man wearing n whlto coat. Af-terward an attempt wmt mado to throw tho trainoff tho track, but this, too, was unsuccessful,and Mr.Greeley lived throuvhthoso scenes with-out an expression of fear or oven regret thatsuch things should hate happened. He seemedto avoid the subject purposely. Hut they had atelling effect on his health, and produced sleeplessness. Then returning through the Iron andcoal regions of Politic) h auls, he reached NewYork Sopt, , and that night was serenaded atthe Lincoln Club. During this absence Mr.Greeley never slept oyer four hours at a time.ThrnuKh the day lie would often doze In the carand catch Miatcucsof but when awakenedcither by a sudden stoppage of tho train to meeta delcgutlon or to make a speech, his haggardand careworn expression of countenance wasalways more expn-ssir- of fatigue than uny re-

marks he wan ever heard to make.F1CKMM or MRS. nilEKI.tT.

Meanwhile Mrs. Greeley's health had beenfulling rapidly and alio had been removed fromCliappao.ua tu thb city. Mr. Alvln J. Johnsonof 3S1 West Fifty-sevent- h street had placed asuits of apartments at her disposal, These theInvalid occupied with her eldt-n- t daughter, MissIda, while Mr. Greeley had rooms In the samebonne.

It was there, while paslng sleepless nlghta atthe bedside of his dlng wife, that HoraceGreeley first began to show signs of urealmental depression. On one occasion, while theopMntoii press was criticising hi great Pitts-burgh speech, he said : " If they mako tho Issuethat I'm the rebel candidate, I'm bound to bedefeated."

This consideration seemed to welch on hismind, and oftn when he supposed he wojalone, he would put his hands to bU bend and cryout i "Ohl" as though suffering liitmise pain.Ho was advised to continue his woodchopplngSaturday mattnt'-er- , and though severely chafedby the accounts of them published In the iVficYvrUTimct, he still pursued his open air exor-rit- e.

On one occasion at Chappaqua he wanaccompanied by Mr. Johnson and his son. Mr.Johnson, Jr., chopped down the dead limb of ahemlock tree which narrowly missed his father'shead. " Wnat do ou mean'r" cried out Mr.Johnson, Sr. " Do you want to kill mo, Willie i"

" 1 Winn somebody would kill me," respondedMr. Greeley In a voice of extreme sadness.

Till. OCTOIltll KU.C1IO.MI.Mr.Greeley always said he did not expect to

carry either the State of Vermont or Maine; yetthe result of the State elections there, Sept. tand 10, respectively, made him more despondentthancNcr, Georgia uuvo the Dvmocrata n rous.Ins majority on theikl of October, and his spiritsrose luoportlonatvly ; but whou six days laterOhio und Penuolvanla gavo large uiajoiltles fortho Administration candidates, and while thoresult In Indiana was still In doubt, he becameutterly despondent, and for tho first time hisniu-- t Intimate friends began to perceive that de-feat In No ember might prove fatal to him. Hotalked one moment of olfcrlnk' the portfolio ofSecretary of State toMr. Charles Francis Adams,and In the next breath he would lament n largefalling off In the subscription lists of the Trihunt.Such outbursts of incoherent expressions,

by patoxysms of rage, now became morefrequent and spontaneous. They came Involun-tarily, as it were, and nlwa)s excited anxiousapprehensions among tils friends ; but they wereattributed to the fact that he was too much de-

prived of sleep while watching beside his wife.Tim DEATn or mis. (iiirr.LEr.

At length, on the morning of Oct, 80, Mrs.Greeley died. When the widowed husband wasInformed of his wife's death, he wrung hishands, cried like a child, and said: "Obi whydidn't you let me sit up with her? Why did yousend ins to bed? My poor wife I my poorwife!"

Two days afterward Mrs. Greeley was burled.Her remain were followed to the crave by alarge concourse of people, all of whom noticedUx. QfMlsy'i crUt. Be relumed utsr the

funeral to Mr. Johnson's, and Instead of Inter-esting himself about his daughters and the fu-

ture gave nay wholly to dejection. It was thenhe showed the first positive evidences of mentalderange ment.

Till! NOVKMIIKH rXtTTIONsermlnoly did not lnleret him. His defeat didnot seem to surprise him. He deceived hifriend by receiving tho news with perfect

It was noticed about this lime, however, thatho woulJ tell Ills private business to every onewith whom he was brought lu contact, and toeach one ho told n different story of his defeat,his troubles, and tho Intblellty of his supposedfriends. He would nt times denounce tho Dem-

ocratic party, whom ho arc used of sellingout to tho Administration. Then ho would vio-

lently criticise the course pursued by the oppo-

sition newspapers, nud especially the misman-agement of the Tribune, and his fatal mistake Inallowing his name to bo used as a candidate forthe Presidency.

Mr. Altln J. Johnson was his most Intimatefriend. One evonlng, while holding his hand,Mr. Greeloy tald to him i "A. J., do you know Imade a terrible mistake about Mr. Dana. Hewas right about that 'On to Richmond.' Yes, Iam satisfied now that he was right about It."Oftsn after that, wheu ho was unable to sleep,and while his disease was yet In Its Inclplency,Mr, Greeley would tako Mr. Johnson to hisroom, and, with hands clasped, ho would Impartto him tho most Intimate secrete of his heart.

THE LAST BLOW.It was during this rlod that he wrote his

card resuming tho editorship of tho TVi'iimr,published on Nov. 7. Ho was Inoxpresslblyshocked while reading tho Trtfuwe oa tho fol-

lowing morning to find an editorial articleheaded "Crumbs of Comfort" occupying asconspicuous a position as that cf his card.This article, It will be remembered, spokeof the Tribunt as having been used as " n sortof Federal emplojinent agency,' and said thatfor the last twclvo years "every d n

who had cheated at the caucus and foughtat the polls looked to the editor of the Tribuneto secure his appointment as gauger, or as armychaplain, or as Minister to France," and thenrlosed with an Insult to the friends who hadstood by Mr. Greeley during tho campaign. Itwas written under the supervision of Mr. Whlto-la- w

Held, who had acted as editor of tbc Tribuneduring tho political canvass, and was Inserted lutho colcinn of tho Tribune without Mr. Greeley'sknowledge. Mr.Grccleyhastoned tothe Tribuneoffice. Ho there wroto n card denying hisresponsibility for the abusive article, and re-

gretting Its publication. Tills denial he sent tohis old friend, Mr. Thomas N. ltooker, foremanof tho Tribune prlntlnc office, ordering It tu bopieced at the head of tho Tribune's columns ontho following morning. The denial did not ap-

pear. It was suppressed lato at night by Mr.Whltelaw Held. On tho following day the Dem-ocratic newspapers limned up In Just Indignationat the "Crumbs of Comfort" article. Theynaturally assumed that Mr. Oreeley was Itsauthor, and accused him of the. blackest In-

gratitude. Their rebuke nnd taunts deeplyuffeeted the veteran editor. Itecognlzlng the Im-

portance of an Immediate denial of any knowl-edge of the article, he sent Mr. Held nnbthcr dis-claimer, ordering Its Insertion lu the next day'slsue. Tnls denial was also suppressed, and upto this very hour Democratic Journals lu theWest and South are bitterly denouncing Mr.Greeley under the supposition that he Is theauthor of tho nrtlclo In question.

Mr. Greeley never iu;aln visited the Tiibmifeditorial rooms. To a friend whom he metthreo days later he In n hopeless tone ofvolco, "I don't go to tho Tribune office anymorn. I have no business there: but I want athousand dollars. I must have a thousand dol-lars. If you get It for me" nftcr a long pause,as If he had suddenly forgotten what he wantalking about " I am ruined I" When his mindwas recalled to the thousand dollars, Mr. Gree-ley told hi friend that he might leave thomoney with the cashier of the Tribune, and Itmight reach him, but he didn't go to tho 2 ibiincoffice itny more.

"COKCLVMON!"."On Sept. 8, one day after tho prlntlngof his fa-

mous card, an editorial article appeared In theTribune headed "Conclusions." It was simplya summing up of tho result of the elections InMr. Greeley's old style, beginning the paragraphswith numeral. This nt bis lut professionaleffort. About this time he revised fivo articleswhleb bo had carefully prepared for an Ency-clopedia. They are entitled "Abolition,""Agriculture," "Anti-Masonry- ," ''Caucus," and"Confederacy, Southern," the latter being hishistory of the "American Conlllct," condensedInto thirty pages of manuscript,

WHAT Nil. GItEXJ.KT TOLD COL. AM.EN,Col. Kthan Allen, Chairman of the late Nation-

al Liberal Itepubllcon Executive Committee, In-

forms a Sun reporter that he had a lunj conver-sation with Mr. Greeley at the Tribune oflleosoon after the election. The Colonel does notremember the exact date, but It whs proba-bly on the 8th of November. Col, Allen sasthat during the election excitement I n Octoberhe saw Mr. Oreeley only at Intervals, as ho wasconstantly eiiuauel In watching by his dyingwife's bedside. When he entered Mr. Greeley'sprivate office, at the time referred to, he was sur-prised at tho warmth of tho greeting which hereceived. Mr. Greeley stretched out both hands,and putting Col, Allen's extended palm botweenthem, said " I am plad to aeo you, and thank youfor your heroic efforts In my behalf."

The old man's eyes became moist at the sametime, and the tears trickled slowly down hisface. Tho sight of so much emotion by Mr.Gretley was something new to Col. Allen, whoreplied: "Mr. Greeley, tho people will look onyou a another Henry Cluy. You aro too greatto be President'"

"Oh, It Isn't that," was Mr. Greeley's answer;"I don't care for politics, and wouldn't go ofttbo cars to Washington to get a commission asPresident. What I do feel," continued Mr.Oreeley, "Is the loss of my wife, who has beenmy companion for nearly forty years. I havewatched by her bedside night and day, and nowlam completely worn out and prostrated fromanxiety and want of sleep, but am obliged tocome back to the Trihunt, where my servicesare needed."

After conversing further with Mr. Oreeley,who promised to dine, with his visitor at hishome. Col, Allen took his leave and has nut seenhim since.

The Sun reporter asked the Colonel whetherhe thought there was any foundation for thoIdle rumors to the effect that Mr. Greeley hadspent the most of.iils money on the election,and that Its loss had affectod him. Col. Allenacouted the Idea, and mentioned an Instance ofthe little value Mr. Greeley placed on money.Ho said Mr. Greeley called on him soon after hisnomination, and tendered him ono thousand dol-lars as a portion of his share of the political ex-penses. Col. Allen told him there were otherswho could better afford to contribute, and de-clined to take It, Mr. Greeley Informed himthat he Intended giving (3,000, and persisted onCol, Allen's accepting the money, saying that Ifho did not accept It he would give It to noiiieone else. Col. Allen said that Mr. Greeley didnot manifest any concern whatever, In regard tothe money,MIS BTltAKOI INTIKYIEW WITH I1UTUS I.

On Wednesday, Nor. 13, the Hoti.Tlufus F.Andrews was requested to meet Mr. Greeley atthe house of a mutual friend lu this city lu rela-tion to a matter of business which psraonsliyconcerned Mr. Greeley,

"I went to the house," says Mr. Andrews,"and was ushered Into Mr. Oreeley's presence.When I first saw him I was greatly surprised at

personal appearance. Indeed, I shouldIbis have known him, ao changed and

"

In his presence. I addressed him cheerfullyand cordially, as in formor times. He sat In at

moody state, and at first made no response. Iwas shocked at receiving no answer, and painedut tho Indlfforenoe and hesitation which hemanifested. I saw at once that something waswrong. Mr, Greeley rose from his soat as somemembers of tho household came into the room.Ho ushcrod me Into nn ndjnlntng apartment,and there sat down. The first oxprosslon ho ut-

tered wa, ' Itufiis, 1 am hopelessly gonol 'I said, "What Is tho matter, Mr, Oreelej "Ho again said, "I am liopo',osly none I"I said, "I am sorny, Mr. arceloy, to see you In

this stato of mind. I know yon havo sufferedIntensely In tho loss of your wife, but I hopeyour defeat has not had a tendency to depressyou. The American people esteem you as muchas ever. Tho result of the Presidential olecttondoes not arise from any want of appreciation ofyour abilities, or of the eminent services whichyou have rendered the country and Its people."

Mr. Greeloy, after a moment's hesitation, re-

peated the expression, " I am hopelessly gone 1"

lie added, "I am ruined I"Ho then alluded In a brief expression to the

personal business about which he had desiredto see me. I comprehended what ho desired,and told hliu thai I would endeavor to see thatIlls wishes were compiled with. I then addod,"Mr. Greeley, you must not allow yourself to bedepressed by the various misfortunes whichhave come upon you. It Is said that troublesnever come singly, and I am euro you have re-

cently had more than your share."Mr. Greeley then arose from his seat and left

roe, with the expression: "llufus, I am hope-lessly ruined I"

Others who saw him at the same time weregreatly shocked at his emaciated and dejectedappearance. I lmmodlatoly called upon sotno ofhis Intimate friends, and told them of his con-

dition, and requested them to cheer him up. Ifelt convinced at the time, and so stated thathis case was hnpoless, for he seemed so pros-

trated that 1 did not believe It posslblo for himto rally. I havo not sluco seen Mr. Greeley."

WnAITEB IK CILOOK.On Friday, Nov. 15, a prominent Iffberat

of Connecticut who had been quiteactive In the campaign, belli In the city calledat tho Tribune office and made Inqutrlos re-

specting Mr. Grooley. Ho learned thathis health seemed very much broken,though there was a disinclination onthe part of his business associates so raymuch about It. Mr. Greeloy was that day at hishome In Chappaqua but expected to return atnight, and the gentleman was urged to call onIII in In the evening at the residence oObe friendwith whom he was staying, t'pon It bclnc repre-sented that In Mr. Greeley's state ofmind a little cheerful conversation withu friend might enliven him and help bringhim out of his melancholy, the gentleman con-

sented and did call on him. Mr. Oreeley methim with some cordiality, but nfter a word ortwo closed his eyes and related Into silence,which ho scarcely broko more than two or threotimes during the half hour that the visitorromalucd, and then only to ask as to the vote oftwo or threo towns In Connecticut In which heseemed specially Interested. To tho visitor's re-

marks expressive of admiration of Mr. Greeley'sspeeches during the campaign, and hiswunderful felicity of address and adaptationto his audiences, and lu general the grandeurof his bearing during the trying ordeal ofhis candidacy he offered no response, but satwith rloind eyes and unchanged countenance.Tu the Inquiry whether under the circumstancesIt would be better fur the Liberal ltepubllcanCommittees to take steps at once towardthe maintenance and consolidation of theirorganization, or to remain quiet and wait theturn of events, ho said very promptly, "Iletterkeep quiet ;" but beyond this there was no-thing to Indicate that he felt any InterestIn current events. There was just thesuggestion of n smile a. he thanked his visitorfor calling, when the latter arose to leave. Thatwas the only relief from this attitude of settledmelancholy and dejection during llie Interview;and the gentleman left the house under thesorrowful Impression that the days of HoraceGreeley's activity and usefuluess, It not of hislife, were drawing to a close.

HIS MIND 8EEMKD OO.NX.

Nor. 16 Mr. Greeley said to Mr. Johnson, as thelatter waa leaving his bouse, "Meet mo at theTribunr office at 2 o'cluck this afternoon. I havea private communication to make to you."

At tho appointed hour Mr. Johnson was there,but Mr. Greeley declined saying anything

"Meet me at Sam Sinclair's at 0 o'clockI want to see you."

Mr. Johuson went there at the time and foundMr. Oreeley asleep. Mr. Sinclair und Mr. GeorgeIllpley were In another room. Mr. Greeloy sleptfor some time, but whon at length ho awoke hismind seemed gone. Mr. Sinclair begged him toremain there to go to bed. He quietly assent-ed, and then, turning to Mr. Johnson, said, "A.J., take me home with you, wout your"

Mr. Illpley also begged Mr. Johnson to do so,but although It was then early In the evening, Itwas midnight before they reached Fifty-seven-

street.Some days before that Dr. Rdward Ilajard, the

late Mrs. Greeley's medical attendant, noticedthat Mr. Greeley had a restless and feverish ap-pearance. He Is ahomecopathlst.but kindly pre-scribed for his old friend, as he correctly Imag-ined that he needed an anodyne. On returninghome on the night above mentioned, Mr. John-son mixed one of the powders and gave It toMr. Oreeley. The latter, In taking It, split half ofit over his shirt front, and when reminded ofwhat he had done, said, " Ob, never mind It; It'sJust as good outside us in."

IIKCI.AIIK 1118 OA8R BFUIOI'fl.The following morning Mr. Oreeley was more

restless and haggard In appearance than ever,and Mr. Johnson sent for his family physician,Dr. E. Krackowlzer, chief surgeon of the Ger-man Hospital. Dr.Krackowlzer recognized thecase as a serious one and at once resorted to themost energetic treatment. At first It seemedas though the malady would yieldto tho treatment, and at times tho patient be-came gentle lu dljosltlo:i, porfectly rational,and In apparent good health,

rilONOl'NCID INHAXt.The medical treatment Mr. Oroeley was re-

ceiving proved Ineffectual. Medicine became ofno avail, und reason gave way. On Nov. to Dr.Drown, Superintendent of the IlloomlngdaleAsvlum, and Dr. George C. S. Choate, proprietorof a private asylum lu Wostchester county, werecalled to meet Dr. Krackowlzer In consultation.A careful examination of the patient was mado,and they unanimously pronounced him Buffer-ing from acute inniilu entirely Insane,

Tho shock was a severe blow to tho fow friendsof tho veteran Journalist who wore entrustedwith the secret, but after due deliberation theybecame sufficiently reconciled tothe fact to con-sent to Mr. (Ireelej-'- removal to Dr. Choate'aresidence, near Pieasaiitvlllu, Westchester coun-ty. The house Is pleasantly altuated, it mile anda half from the town, on u hill half a mile froma road or the nearest house. It Is comfortablyfurnished, has handsome grounds surroundingIt, and though known to tho neighbors as u pri-vate lunatic as) lum, It has the appearance of thocountry seat of some wealthy gentleman, ThereMr.Greeley was conveyed last Thursday week.

DON'T BEND ME A WAT.When he was brought down stairs. In Mr.

Johnson's house, lu front of which Mr. John It.Stuart was waiting with a close carriage, Mr,Johnson handed hlin his traditional white hatand coat.

"Don't send me tvfay, A. J.," he cried, as thetears flowed down, his deathly-pal- e cheeks."Don't let me got T)on'tl Don't I"

The scene wu toil affootlng for those whowitnessed It, and all abed tears. Mr, Johnson4xmi4 till tut utf coat, too much afflicts! to

say a word. He never expected to tee his oldfriend again.

ON Tim WAT TO AN ASYLUM.It was deemed best that Mr. Greeley should

remain over night at the residence of Mr. JohnIt. Stuart, In Tarrytown. Mr. Stuart waa an oldfriend, and It may be rememberod that It was athis house that ono of the first receptions ten-dered to Mr. Greeley after his nomination waagiven. He was restless all night, and a strictwatch was kept upon his movements. Hoseemed to know that ho was. on the way to anasylum. At first he told Mr. Stuart that hewould not leave his house.. It was only afterMr. and Mrs. Stuart promised to call and scohim everyday that lie consented to go. Beforeleaving Mr.tituart'a residence, he walked throughtho grounds. Suddenly stopping, and gazing

small shrubs, he said, "We mustput tho elder In tho ground, for It will freezehard before Tuesday."

Mr. Stuart became alarmed, and then endeav-ored to place lit ra In a closo carriage for

to Dr. Choate'a resldenco, at Mount Pleas-ant. Mr. Greeley cried bitterly, and for a longtltno refused to go. Ho repeatedly said to Mr.Stuart, "Don't let them take me away. I wantto atay here with you."

It was only when urged by Aunty Samsonand Mrs. Stuart that he consented to go withMr. Stuart In the oarrlage.

disease developod Itself In all Its Intensity. Thehorrors of acute mania were hourly witnessed,and he was violent In bla actions. The mostskilful treatment at the hands of experiencedphysicians proved of no avail, and the patientgradually sank Into a state of unconsciousness.Tho Inflammation of the brain made thestomach eympatblzo with It to such an ex-

tent that Mr.Greeley refused and wa really un-

able to take food In any form.There wero threo Tribune stockholders at his

bedside on Wednesday night. They were BamuelSinclair, the publisher; Patrick O'ltourke, chiefengineer of the Tribune press rooms; andThomas N. Hooker, foreman of the composingrooms. John F.Cleveland, Mr.Greeley' brother-in-la-

and Oliver Johnson, a Tribune odltor,were also present, as well as the dying man's pri-

vate secretary. Mr. O'ltourke left on Wednesdayevening, but the others remained over Thanks-giving Day, Qabriellc, the youngest daughterof Mr. Greeley, whom he was fond of calling" Pussy," was In attendance on her father, buther grief was so groat and uncontrollable thather uncle brought her with him to his homeIn this city on Thursday night.

Mr. Greeley gradually became worse, andfailed to recognize tbo few Intlmato friendsand relatives who visited hlin.

Tin death of Hon vex (ikkklkv lift pro-duced a profound Impression upon all clajues ofbla fellow' countrymen. No man who had beeneo little In publlo office was so widely known,none with whose life and character the massosof oupcltlzens were eo familiar, none whoseIcnon would be recognized by so large a

of the American people.Hoiiacc Giikelev was born In Amherst, N,

II., on Feb. 8, 1811. Ills ancestors wero from theNorth of Ireland. In 1010, twenty years afterthe Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Hock, threebrothers of the name of GnitELicr migrated toAmerica. One of these soon settled near whatIs since known as Londonderry, then an almostunbroken wilderness on the Merrimack river. Inthe colony of New Hampshire. From this oneof the three brothers, Zacciiei'S by name, webelieve, Horace wu descended, Zaccheusseems to have been a favorite name in thefamily, fork was borne by Hokacr Giikki.ky'kfather, grandfather, as wellas by some of bis remoter progenitors.

The father of Homer. Giikkukv was a farmerin a small way, part of tho time as a proprietor,but more generally as a tenant. He seems notto have had the faculty of getting on In thoworld, nrn.fll "t Infrequently from town totown, first In New Hampshire nnd then m Vw.";

mont, and was always poor. HoitACK, there-fore, was cradled In poverty, and his early youthwas spent In working pretty hard on variousscrubby, stony, barren farms. He doubtlessled a rather cheerless life In thoso da)s.Hut his family being of the stern Presby-terian school of Old Ulster, the morals ofyoung Hoiiace were kept free of stains, whllohis marvellous Juvenile desire for knowledgowas gratified so far as tho stinted facilities foreducation In that secluded region and his ownslender health would permit. Those of us whohave known him lu lit prime, and have seen howsturdy he was, how zealously he could wield thoaxe, how many long miles of travol he couldtako on foot, what a load of mental toll hecould carry without faltering, and what n heartyeater ho was, would ueror have believed, hadnot his own hand recorded It, that foryears he wu a feeble, alckly child, oftenunder medical treatment, and unable towatch, through a closed window, the falling ofrain, without Incurring an Instant ami violentattack of illncs. This prevented, to a consider-able extent, his taking full advantage nt eventhe slender educational privileges which hispoor neighborhood afforded. Ills dolloate con-stitution kept htm tho closer to his mother'sknee, and It was there that ho learned his firstlessons. In the maturity of his power and thefulness of his fame, tho celebrated son hasborno affectionate testimony to the tendercare, the assiduous watchfulness, tho noblequalities or the head and heart of thehumble mother. Iletter educated than themajority of the daughters of obscuro farmers luher day, with a mind overflowing with theScotch and Irish songs, stories, and traditions ofher ancestors, an omnivorous and retentivercadorof nil the books which canio within herreach, few persons were better qualified thanshe to Interest, stimulate, and Instruct the. livelymind of young Hohack In Its earliest stages ofdevelopment. At her feet or on her lap whllosho was running tho Utile spinning whevl ofthose primitive times, he learned his alphabetand Ills first lessons In reading, Interspersed and

'Vnllvened with snatches of ballads, scraps ofhistory, and glimpses of biblical biography,When Hoiialt. win scarcely three years old hehad his first regular schooling, the more versa-til- e,

and doubtless more vuluable Instructions ofhis mother, however, not being Intermitted.Indeed, her home teachings placed him far luadvance of tho youngsters of (its age tu tho logschool house, and ulwajskept him there.

According to the good old custom of thosedays tho scholars used to hare "spellingmatches " of an evening, presided over by thomaster. Younger than any of his competitors,"Tow-heade- d IIOL," u the elder boys calledhim, always took part In these spelling feats.Had as his chlrography of riper years turned nutto be, In hU childhood Qrumt was prodigyu a speller. Kven when only four yar of age

neighborhood for miles around turning out toSee little Horace spell bis way to the head ofclasses made up of dots big enough to hold theplough, hoe com, and felt trees. Those whohavo heard Mr. Oiieelet disturb congregationsby snoring In church will bo Interested In know-ing that when ho was four and flvo yoars old howould fall so sound asleep during thoso longwinter-evenin- g spoiling matches that he wouldhave to be shaken up when his turn came, nndere his eyes were fairly opon would catch tho

word, spell It correctly, and leap tothe top of a long class at a alnglo bound.

Owing to the poverty of his father, Oiieelet'sschooldays wero sadly broken In upon, for hewas kept to farm work not only through thespring, summer, and autumn, but sometimesfar Into the winter. Norertheloss he masteredWEnsTF.n'8 spelling book, Pikb'B arithmetic,and dtppod Into Muiiuay'b grammar andMorse's geography. Hut, more than all these, he,like his mother, early became an omnivorousreader, and would wander miles away to borrowbooks, which he devoured in the evening by tholight of pitch pine knots, he lying to enjoy theluxury on tho rudo hearth stone, where he nowand then feU asleep, and more than once severlysinged his flaxen looks.

When Hoiiaci was Just entering his tenthrear his father, starved out In New Hampshire,removed to Westhaven, Vt., In January, 1821,

where he had rented a small house for til perannum. His object was to cut timber and doother odd Jobs as a hired man, waiting mean-while, llko Wii.kinb MlOAWDEu, for somethingto turn up. Here HorACI had a harder, roughermore cheerless lot than he had endured In hisnative State; and, to uso ills own bitter words,made the acquaintance of genutne.poverty.

In New Hampshire the family had been farm-ers of the poorer class ; In Vermont they droppedtothe rank of day laborers. When they set footIn the Green Mountain Stato the whole wordlygear, Including the poorest bit of furniture andthe lut shred of clothing which father, mother,two sous.'and two daughters could call their own,wu worth less than 300 to them, and nothing toanybody else. For flvo years young GnEfXEYworked at farming and felling timber with aconstancy and a severity which made his earliertasks In New Hampshire seem like holidays.Oftlmcs scantily fed, always shabbily clad, hetrudged along In his wean round of toll, con-triving to go to school a little, reading all thebooks he could borrow, and taking a special In-

terest In the few newspapers that fell In his way.Nflwspapersl he loved them, and many a sum-

mer's day, after working hard from sunrlso tosundown, he would lie bcsldohls blazing pineknots till after midnight reading vivid sketchesof tho battle of tho giants In Washington overtho admission of Missouri to the Union, ofClinton's memorablo contest with the Duck-tai- ls

of New York, of the struggles of Jackson,Adams, CitAvvronD, and Clay for tho success-orslit- p

to MONltOE, of Wehsteu's oratoricaltriumph on the floor of Congress In support ofGrecian Independence, of the success of AdamsIn the Presidential race of lHi.of his appoint-ment of Clay, Gheeley's life-lon- g beau Idealof an American state-ma- to be Secretaryof State, and of the latter' masterly expositionof the doctrine of protection of homo manu-factures, and his brilliant defence of the SouthAmerican republics. The study of these themesand of these men in tho columns of the news-papers for five years determined young Giieeleyto cultivate a pursuit whose products had firedhts Imagination and given htm so much genuinepleasure. He resolved to becomo a newspaperman himself; and In the spring of 1SW he enteredthe printing office of tho A'orthtrn Sixttator, asmall weekly paper published at East Poultney,Vermont, where he wu to servo as an apprenticetill he arrived at the age of twenty, receiving forcompensation his board and $40 per annum.

Hoiiace GitCLLirr had now entered upon acareer where his heart went' with his brain andhis hand. The blazing pine knots In tho humblecabin at Westhaven lighted the barefoot boy ofNew Hampshire to the path which ultimatelyled to great achievements and enduring fame.While an apprentice at Poultney he wu notedfor Industry, fidelity to engagements, and gen-uine love of Journalistic literature. He sparedno time for sports or oven recreation. Heworked by day and read by night ; and thoughhe stood well with the rising youngsters in hisnarrow circle, bo never fished, nor hunted, norplayed a game of ball, nor attended a dance ora party during his stay of four and a half yearsat Poultney; but he went to the militia musters,joining eagerly In the Fourth of Jnly celebra-tions, and ere hts apprenticeship terminated,knew quite as much about politics, and a gooddeal more about election returns, than naverace member of Congress. The paper nnwhich GnEEiJtY worked wu the sturdy sup-porter of the administration of Adams, and thovigorous adrocato of his reelection when beatenby Jackson In 1838; and the youthful typesetter wu the champion of Adam., and tho fer-vent admirer of the more brilliant Clay, whom,through n long life, he recognized as the polarstar ot his own political career.

InlSIOOiiKtLKY left Poultney, and after to'Jotirnliig a year around Lake Erie, and workingIn various printing offices, turned his stepstoward tho city of Now York, where ho ar-

rived In the early morning of Aug. 17, 1S31, tall,slonder, pale, ungainly, his entire stock of thisworld's goods consisting of a shabby suiunfersuit, aver small bundle tied up In a pockethandkerchief, and a ten dollar bill, tho whole,ready cash' Included, being dear at CM.And now this raw country lad, withoutan acquaintance In tho great metropolis, com-menced n search for work at the nrtprcsvrratlvoof alt arts. Up and down tho stairs of printingoffice after printing office he went, In most In-

stances a slngto side glance at his shamblingfigure being enough to bring out in growlingtones, " We've no work for you I" However

In other respects, the countenance andvoice of the tall, thin lad ought to havo satisfiedthose to whom he applied for a chance at thecue or tho press that though he might be apoor printer ho wu neither a liar nor a rogue.And yet, so keen an observer of men ns tholatoDAVtu Hale, then of the Journal of r,

did not hesitate to tell poor Giieklkythat ho was u runaway apprentice, and lie prettythoroughly frightened him by threatening hisarrest on the spot. At length, after visitingmore printing offices than he had previouslysupposed the whole country contained, and Justas he was eating up his lut shilling at a cheaplodging house, he, following the direction ofsome young Irishmen whom he accidentally mot,found a small Job of work which, u he after-ward ascertained, was so difficult of execution,and was paid for at such low rates, that otherprinters had refused to du It; and so It felllulu the hands of the comparatively luvxpu-rleuce- d

Greets Mountain apprenticeHoiiaceGiikki.ky was twenty years and six

months old when he set foot on the dock atWhitehall, and first lifted type In John T,Wkht'h printing office, at (55 Chatham street, andthus began a career In this metropolis which,covering more than forty years, has few parallelslu American biography. After working as aJourneyman and Jobber on moderate wages fornearly eighteen months, ho, on the 1st of Janu-ary, IKCl, in conjunction with a couple of friends,started a ieiiuy paper called the .Voniliit; f.They purchased typo mi six mouths' credit ofMr. OEOiiai! IIiutk to the emoiint off 10 ; and this generous confldenco Inthe young adventurers led to the purchaseof some f.W,O00 to ftaJ.ono worth of typeof nitfi'KbyOittEi.EYln after years. The J'otlnever had much circulation, and after strug-gling fur six months broke down, when Giiee-ley returned to the business of Job printing, luconjunction with Mr. Jonas Winchesteii, agentlemen since well known to the craft In tillsand othercltles. Thus far Gkkei.ey had beenlittle more than a romisltnr and pressman,

.tuoui'ti yc doubt uot that tut Hntctator at

Poultnoy usod to contain now and thenapormgTaph.frora his boyish pen In favor of his idot"Harry of the West;" and It Is pretty certainthat ho contributed more or less to tho columnsof tho short-live- d Morning Poet,

Hitherto HonAcr. Giieklev, the printer, wuknown only to a small circle. Hut on tho 23d olMarch, 1831, he, In conjunction with his friend '

WlNCiinsTEit, started an enterprise which sooncarried his iinmo as an editor all through theStates lying cast of tho Alleghenles and north oltho Potomac. On that day, without n warntns.note, the If'.w Vorfctr, a weekly seml-lltero- n

Journal, km Issued, with Mr. Giieeley u editorand Mr. Winciiioteii as business man-

ager. In addition to tho current news, the AVtl B

Vol for took special pains to collect and pub yllsh trustworthy and carefully digested olcotlon returns a field which Mr. Gnr.tLH Icultivated In later yoars without a ieer. Every" j I

thing In tho editorial columns of the paper, with '

scarcely an exception, wu from his pen ; andthough It professed to eschew pi titles, and wuan Interesting literary Journal, it could not dls.guise Its leanings toward the Whig party, olwhich Heniiy Clay, Giikelct's mentor, watboth the founder and leader. The AVte 1'urkti '

obtained a large circulation for those days ; butunfortunately for Its conductors, the great ma.Jorlty of the subscribers were to delighted witfathe paper that they quite forgot to pay for Itand so GnEELiY and Wlnciiesteii by and bjwent to the wall, and would hare gone clcalover It, except for a profitable Job business whicharrested their fall. The jYeic Yorker finallystopped In 1811, after a seemingly flourishing ex,Istence of seven years, which had certainly wonfor Its editor a high reputation as a Journalist,but had left him minus because of tho delin-quencies of his subscribers a groat many thou-sands of dollars. The reputation which the cdt.tor acquired was duo not only to the judlclomcharacter of the original matter of the p.'per,but to Its happy selections from other Journals fand it Is Interesting to remember that Its cobumns were sometimes enlivened by poetry fromMr. Giu.si.r.v's own pen.

Ills able conduct of then Whig proclivities openened to Mr.

Oltr.ri.EY a fur wider reputation as a politicalJournalist than he could possibly havo achievedat the head of that paper. Inl8Ti tho Democracyof Now York wero overwhelmed by the BulTreasury Issue then (lending In Congress. TinOpiMisltlon, now known as Whigs, carried lhStato for the first time sluco thendvenioi Jack,son, nine years before, and thero was a fair pros,pect of electing a Whig Governor In 1KW. Soonafter tbo campaign of tho latter yeaiopened, Mr. Giieeley waa surprised at ivisit In his humhlo attto from two Albanjmagnates, Mr. Thuulo w Weed and Mr. LewisBenedict, generally recognized ns the heads oltho Whig Junto, as It was called, at tho Statscapital. Mr. Giieeley, up to that time, hadnover taken an open part In State politics, hadnever attended a State Convention, and wat per.sonally very little known outside of the city olNow York; and he had not till then ever spokento either of his distinguished visitors. TheolxJect and tbo ultimate result of the call wu thtpublication at Albany, during the campaignwhich subsequently made Mr.ScvrAiiD Governor"of the State, ot a weokly paper, called the Jtfcrooiifdn, of which Greeley wu the sole editor.The Price was cheap, tho circulation about 15,000 weokly, the matter In the editor's bestvsln,crisp and cutting In style, and abounding Infacts and figures. The JeJtrtonUn went all over,tho State for the eight or nine months preced- -'lng tho election of 1838, and, being read mostlyjby active Whigs, made Mr. GncKLEr popularwith tho working members of tho party, who attributed their triumph In no smalt nieuure tothe trenchant blows he gave the Democracythrough the Jtffnontan, , )

During this remarkable campaign Mr. Gnrti'ley's labors were marvellous, lie wrote overything for the Ntc Yorktr In this city, and every:thing for the Jtftrtontan at Albany, and personally superintended the " make-up- " of each Jour:nal, going up and down the Hudson twice and.frequently three times a week for this purposes.In the early spring by stage coach, and later by,steamer, the two railways of our era between,the metropolis and tht capital lying theu In thtwomb of the future.

The success of the Jegtrtontan prepared the)way for a larger enterprise ot the tame kind lathe famous Presidential contest of 1810 whenHAnntsoN overthrew Van Uuiien. Though.'Giieeley wu deeply grieved at the failure oltho Whig National Convention to nominate.Clay, he nevertheless went Into the canvas 1

with his accustomed vigor and enthusiasm?r.atlT iii tiiO campaign It was resolved to startweekly at Albany somewhat after the model olthe Jrirsonkin.and to make Houauk Ghiu.ley Its editor. In pursuance of this arrange.ment tho Loo CubOi wu Issued at Albany onthe 1st of May, and thence onward till Novem-ber. During this most exciting campaign Mr.Giieeeey, as ho had done two years before,edited the .Ycu Porta', and the Loy CuMn wmunder his exclusive control. The latter watmore dashing and less dignified, and hit Its op.pori?"ts rather harder than Its prototype of ISM,many of Its ;rtUies being written In the editor,'!most pointed and pU'neut manner. Its clrcula- -

"aHon for those days was unpr'CCdcnted. Uoght.nlng with 80,000, It rapidly ran up to Terr lieurlj'100,000 per week, und would havo far surpassed 1

even the latter number had Its publisher pos I

Besed facilities for doing the printing. The Lot ,Cabin went all over the Northern States and fat f 'Into tho Southern, affording a miinu.'il and text l.book for the Whig Journals of tho I'nlou.andcontributing oentlallv to tho ovcrwhelmluitVhlg victory of November. Unllko theJtJrr.sonf.in, Mr. Giieeley condoned to publish tinLooCulitn for nearly a year after tho election tIn proof of tho low rates of compensation foi 'editorial work a third of a century ago, we wll.'etato that HoitACE Giieeley received Just $1,001for conducting the Jrersonbiii eight or nlntmonths. He was publisher u well u editor o!tho Log CuMn, and Is supposed to have madt I

some money by it. ,

Still regarding Mr. Giikei.ey solely in an cdt. I

tor, we havo now reached a point when heestabllshed the Journal with which bl name Is alwaviassociated, and which has made Jilin known no.only to tho remotest corners of our countrybut lu many lauds over the seas. On tho 10th ol i

April, 1841, he Issued tho first number of tin iiYVtc York rrtbunt. It wu the day of tho funerapageant In this city oyer tho death of Preside!!'IlAtiltitON, for whose triumph Mr.Oiim.KY hatlabored to zealously, and In whose early grai i

to many Whig hopes were burled. Hon mi,GnEEi.EY was then Just past thirty, bad had i

good deal of Journalistic experience, and hh 1;

Nevertheless, to stsneven a diminutive dally Whig nowspaper, with,out capital, and with no promises of soport from Influential politicians, In a city Inclines'to be steadily Democratic, and at a momeii'when the Whig cause was covered with thlclclouds because of tbo sudden fall of Haiihisonrequired a good deal of courage; but HoiiaciGlll'.Kixv was equal to the situation; and huwImpartially he judged of his capacity to buildup a groat Journal In a groat metropolis, tlmiand the event have proven. We need not tracttho history of the Vrtbiinr.
