DOES HORACE GREELEY SWEAR ?-That's
the question 10 be settled. There is cloud OF
WITNESSES of the "iDterviewing" order who set
down terrific Oaths to the credit of III. g. and
say their own delicacy and "a respect for the
feelings of their readers prevent them giving
more than mere suggestion OF his highly
wrought style OF "cussing" when excited. On
the other hand ii. G. himself swears he don't
swear half as badly as represented, whilst
John Russell Young, who swears by Greeley,
swears the Iribune philosopher doesn't swear
ut tdll-considcring.
We are able to state from the most reliable
authority that H. G.. does occasionally, verify
indulge in rather free use of language, but
his eXplrtivcs are confined to such words as
damn, or dalan it, Even this is only reserted
to on great occasions when something more
than usual seems to be called for To illustrate
upon the form of the Philosopher, is u little
run of water. To increase the volume as
well as its usefulness, the thought was enter
tanned of dammng it. During the absence of
Mr. Greeley, Mrs. G. undertook the work
without, however, adhering to suggestion
about the mode of doing it, The foundations
were not laid broad and deep, but upon the
surface. The waters gathered and forced the
obstruction, and when III. G.. returned the
first thing that attracted his attention was one
of the consequences of the rushing volume
in the looping down of one corner of barn.

removed to Manchester, n II. Her father
was n manufacturer of loom harnesses, and
though not wealthy, was in comfortable cir
cumstanccs-not II poor weaver, as has been
stated. Abby was the eldest of five children.
Her dramatic and literary tastes early devel-
opcd themselves, and her whole childhood
and girlhood were spent in reading and in
study. She graduated with marked honors
from the Manchester High School, and wrote
the prize poem on that occasion. She after
ward taught in n Connecticut Normal
School, where her fine attainmcnts were fully
appreciated
In her nineteenth year she married Daniel
Mcfarland, native of Ireland, nearly twenty
years her senior He represented himself ms n
llourishing lawyer of Madison, Wis, worth
$40 900 or $500 600, who could command anv
political Office in the State Being very young
and inexperienced, having passed her life
among books, she consented to become his
wiie-hardly knowing her heart. She was i'll
prepared therefore, for the first delusion
which met her in New York on their way
West, Immediately after their marriage, when
she discovered that Mcfarland had to borrow
money to carry them to his home, and six
months after to pawn her watch and Jewels.
Mrs. Richardson is n mediums sized blonde, n
triic more inclined to fullncss than are most
American women, and with her freshness and
warm complexion, gives the impression of
being English Like all women whose troub-
les become famous she has been declared ex-
ccedingly beautiful, especially by the weak
and mclo-dramalic person who is the author Of
all her woes. She has n very interesting and
attractive face, and may with strict propriety
be called handsome
