Without further remark Mr. Greeley
went TO bis work. apd 4H the day was
kuee-doep in editorials and exchanges
Meanahile noisy mob VAS in poss-
esslon Of Printing House Square, aud
whoever left or entered the building
was greeted with yells and curses, and
threats of even rougher treatment z
Still throng o. friends kept pouring
in and out al the day, and these visit
ors so impeded Mr. Greeley work that
il was eight o'clock At night before be
had finished bis last leader Asit grew
towards dark one friend after another
went to him. urging him to leave for
home, aud representing the great dan
ger Of remaining after sunset To ali,
his answer was, Il am not quite through,
/ will 20 in a few moments. "
At last General Busted came in from
the street, reporting that the crowd,
now greatly augmented, were clamor-
ing wildly for "onld Grayey.." at is
absolute madness" he added, 'for you
to stay longer" but the answer stll
was, II am not quite through; Twill 90
in a few moments
Eight o'clock at last came, and then
Col Adams and another gentleman
sent out for close carriage to be hro't
10 The side door, and then going to Mr..
Greeley, accosted him somewhat as fol-
lows
Mr. Greeley, carriage viii be here
instantly. We want you to leave the
office"
Il am not quite ready; I viii go in a
few moments, was again the quiet an
swer
ave insist Oh your going no,c A
hundred mud fifty u us are riskiug ON
! lives to defend your building, and you
have no right to add to our danger
At this the philosopher slowly rose
and with his peculiar smile, said "Bui
: Why order carringe2 could have
gone just as wen in street ear
"You couldn't have got to car.
! Look down there, and see the kind Of 4
crowd that surrounds the building"
lie looked down and saw what might
: have made a man Of even iron nerve
turn a little pallil. The internal re-
gions had been mrooied, and the dev
lis we're there, shouting aud hooting
aud bowling, and groaning on til,
pavement Such another crew neyei
got together on this or any other plan
ct; and as he looked they shouted :
Come out, 20 onld haythen; come out
and we'll taich ye a naygurs as gooC
as a Irishman"
well, they are hard looking set,
he said, tnrning quietly around anC
drawing On his coat, preparatory t.
leaving; where could those fellow
have come from n
He was smuggled into the carriage
the door was closed, and in half al
hour be was miles away, in safety.
As al! know, the riot lasted two day
longer Daring every hour of thos
two days the Tribune Office and its ed
itors we're in almost hourly danger
but Mr. Greeley came and went as usu
al, and as usual attended to the dutie
Of bis position, as if only quiet wer
reigning in the blood-deluged city; an
all this while some Of .he great dailie
were posting him rs poltroon; an
a even venerable archbishop had th
{ bad taste to publicly brand him as MOI
y ally and physically coward
Y Whatever may be the facts touchin
D Dir Greeley's moral or ply ical coul
y age, he showed upon this occasion a
~ intellectual courage that stood him j
8 good stead, aud constituted him j
q very deed hero. Paekard's M1hthii
