Personal Gossip Of Horace Greeley.

Mr.. McDermott of the Jersey City Herald
in his personal gossip of new York editors,
speaks Of Horace Greeley of the Tribune. Mr.
ID. says: Mr.. Greeley, early in life went to
work for Mr. West, setting type on the Poly
glot Testament, Mr.. West didn't like hi ap-
pearance, and told the foreman OF the office,
" for Heavens sake discharge that stupid fell
low. But Horace set good proof, and was
retained. lie was the butt OF the printers in
the Office. They called him the Ghost
The printer devil used to play tricks on him.
! But they all borrowed his money as soon as he
earned it. OF course be never was paid back
! What did such sleepy looking fellow want
with money anyhow, was the borrowers argu-
ment.
On the 10th of April, lS4l, appeared the
first number of the Tribune. Mr.. Gregory
loaned Greeley and McEilrath 1000 to start it.
1t printed 5 600 and sold 600. Mr. Greeley says
he had hard work to give the balance away.
He expended the first week 1892. The re-
ceiptS were $92. 1le created a sensation. and
he was at once dubbed :" the philosopher.
Beach of the SIM tried to inure him by fore
ing newsbOys to stop selling the Tribune.
Greeley exposed the trick in his paper, and
the people rushed to his assistance, and tiIleC
his columns full of advertisements. The frs
issue OF the Tribune, Greeley made up the pa
per and stayed in the office till morning.
1ue COlupOSllOIS were dlNdSS pld(iuS lIlCh

, There was a hole in the floor directly owe

d, his tobacco juice through the hole withOu
i touching the wood. The bet was accepted
e The stream of tobacco juice fell on Greeley

When the heating pipes took the place

our little boys will grow up slaves, and our

are good women, and they and their children
have no disease. Our dead you cannot bring
to life, but those that are living we gave to you,
and we look to you, who can write and talk

The writer adds:

Death of " Tad" Lincoln.

The death of Thomas Todd Lincoln, famili-
arly known in the United States during the
war as Tad" Lincoln, has been generally
commented upon by the press. During the
occupancy of the presidential chair by his
father, Tad kept the executive mansion
alive with his pranks and fantastic enterprises.
The New York Tribune says:
In his hoyish years he was idozed by both
his father and mother, petted and iuduiged by
his teachers and fawncd upon and caressed by
that nOisOme horde of office seekers which in
tested the ante-rOoms OF the White House
He had so much to do that he felt he could not
waste time in learning to spell. Early in the
morning you could hear his shrill pipe re-
sounding through the dreary corridors of the
executive residence. The day passed in a
rapid succession Of plots and commotions, and
when the President laid down his weary pen
toward midnight he generally found his infant
goblin asleep under the table or roasting his
curly head by the open fire place and the tai
chief would pick up the child and trudge oft tC
bed with the drowsy little burden on bis
shoulder, stopping under the doors and dodg
ing the chandeliers. The President took In

fun, and uncomfortable buisterOuSness. Ht

Jefferson was a native of his own State, pitch

We have sometimes complained that the
advanced women who clamor so earnestly for
social regeneration are unwilling or unable to
tell us precisely what they want We know
what one class of the female reformers want /;
for some of them at least are quite clear in their
own minds, and certainly frank enough in
speech; but when a ady like Mrs Davis cries
out for Free love, and then shrieks with horror
because the only possible definition of Free
Love is explained to her, or when two such
philanthrOpists as Mrs Henry b. Stanton and
Miss Susan b. Anthony take pains to demon
strate an ELUSIVE sympathy with a notorious
representative of the yiest variety of Free
Love principles, we are puzzled for an expla-
nation, and would beg the ladies (if there were
any use in begging) to come down out of the
clouds and talk plain English. Mrs. Laura
Fair, we believe, never spoke at conventions
but she practiced in the concrete, the same
liberty of love which the advanced women ad
vocate with so much eloquence in The abstract
Her life was a course of vulgar lust, crowned
by cruel and s:ckening murder Therefore
Mrs. Henry B. Stanton and Miss Susan B
Anthony feel it their duty TO visit her in iai
and offer her the hand of sympathy, and Mis-
Anthony attempts to defend her in a publ
lecture, until the Kisses of the audience oblig
her to change the subject. Pray, ladies, wha
do you want?
