GREELEY AS A. TYPO.
The White-Headed LRnky Boy who
set Type for mr.. EedleId.

To the Editor of the Stunt
, SR-From 1881 to 1884 I was carrying
on the business of stereotyping at 216 VIII
liam street, and most of the time was en-
ploying a great many compositors, not few;
OF whom have since earned large share OF
fame in the world. From the days of
Franklin even to those of Gresley the COM
posing rouni has graduated its full quota OF
the men who have distinguished themselves
in the history of the country. why
shouldn't the institution be incorporated,
have faculty, and the authority to confer
degrees? Why shouldn't it make LL.D's
as well as Old Harvard.
1t was in 1882 or '33, think, that being
at one tire much in need of more compos-
itors, asked those if. the Office to let the
fact be known at their resp sctive bsarding
houses. Among others who applied for
work in response to this Cal, was queer
looking chap brought in by one OF the
hands in th5 ottfces BE was Of rather
more than medium height; lis haar was
almost white, his face quite so and en-
tirely beardless, and he walked with
shutting and uncertain gait. He wore
very old white hat ard fI1stian pansaioons
which did not come down to his boc.sj and
these completed personality which had
never before met with in compositor, aud
tnrnine to Seymour, who brought him in, i
inquired if that fellow was compositor.
He replied, sHe's queer looking fellowj
but they say he'si good workman.
Being too much in want of help to be very
particular about the appearance of COM
position, gave him case and copy, and
you may Judge of my surprise when tell
you that his weekly bills exceeded by from
30 to so per cent. those of the other COM
pesitors by his side who we're ca the same
work. And what was equally remarkable;
no matt er how he picked up the type with
his fingers, the stream of talk that rolled off
his tongue was never interrupted. He
talked necessarily. When he made out his
first bill; learned that his name was
Horace Greeley.
In those days he was compositer, and
was good one. He set type rapidly and
made good proof. When be was young
man he did his work we'll and now that he
is an old one, and there is big stake"
ahead to give out, propose that we give it
to him. j. s. REDFIELD.

EAST TENNESSEE UNIVERSITY.

Correspondence of the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 2, 1S72.-We
came hither fortnight ago, and have visit
ed various localities in Eastern Tennessee.
The commencement exercises of East Ten
nessee University came off soon after our
arrival, but we were unfortunate iii being
unable to be present. The Institution is
now one of the very best, and certainly one
of the least expensive, in the United States.
Early in the present century large en6ow-
ments were provided for founding and
maintaining three State Universities of the
best grade-oRe at Knoxville, another at
Nashville, and third at jackson. Extern
sive buildings were erected in each OF these
localities, and flourishing institutions have
been in progress ever since. Soon after the
close of the "war between the States" the
State of Tennessee realized the proceeds Of
the lands donated by the Federal Govern
ment for the support of an Agricultural,
Mechanical and Military College, and this
institution has been coDjoined with East
Tennessee University at this place. Al
ready the institution is in such flourishiDg
condition that additions are in active pro-
gress, during the present vacation, to the
extensive buildings. The exercises win be
renewed very early in September. We
learn that most of the States south of Ten
nessee have been represented in this Uni
yersity, Georgia, however, having but two
students-Messrs. r. G. Mcdonald and w.
B. Harper, of Milledgeville.
The location of the University is Ie-
markedly fine, in the suburbs of the city,
commanding an extensive view of the river
and mountain. 1t has been put on canvas
in all of its exquisite beauty by Mr.. Fisher,
of Knoxville, the fine landscape painter who
is now engaged in making the great histori-
cal painting of Gen. L. E. Lee at his ia
theirs tomb on his last visit thither on
Cumberland Island, Georgia, in 1870.
The military feature of East Tennessee
University is prominent one and is under
the supervision of a graduate of West
Point Military Academy. The handsome
uniform Of the students of Confederate
grGy, and is very similar to that of the
military inst itute of Virginia. The most
charming features of this institution
EAST Tenn es3ee University is its
inerpenSiUeneSS. Tuition costs per
annum less tEan S35; and good
boarding can be had for less than So
per month. Two hundred and fifty dollars
will be ample to cover the entire expenses
of an economical student for whole year,
including clothing and every thing. About
five years are required for thorough master
ing of the whole course, and VIC under
stand large number of young men are
pursuing that line of study, The Presi-
dent of the University is Rev. Thos. w
Humes, an Episcopal clergyman of great
worth and learning.

GRANTS IMpEKIAL STABLES.

The new stables built for the use of the
President at Washington, are described by
Dom Piatt as imperial. The structure is
handsome, of pressed brick, and resembles
the residence of some village merchant or
banker" The building has front Of
eighty feet, is two stories high, and has
Mansard roof, all being "fnished with
admirable TASTE" Says the Washington
Capital: some enters under broad, i'm
posing porch, with the carriage store-rooms
upon one side and the harness rooms upon
the other, From this the visitor, or horse,
passes over a solid concrete pavement
through handsome oak doors to ball. To
the left are six handsome box stalls beauti-
fully finished in oak, and surmOunted by
wire screens of the most admirable finish.
These stalls are at least fifteen feet square.
To the left of the hall are ordinary stalls.
Above this are hay-mows and a suit Of
well-fnished rooms for the head hostler
and family. Below are more stalls for
horses, bedrooms and other conveniences
for such an extensive establishment"
These imperial Stables were built at the
expense of the people who pay taxes.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

In speaking of the recent food, which
was so disastrous in several sections of Vir-
ginia, the Lynchburg papers record the fol-
lowing sad event: 80
A mother and several little children were
making their escape from narrow neck OF
land which lies between the river James
and the canal, when they were amazed to
find that the bridge was already gone and
that their only hope was to cling on to the
abutment of the bridge until the angry
waves should subside. But as they stood
there clinging to the abutment, the waters
continued to rise higher and higher, while
in the deep darkness they could hear the
crashing of trees amid the thunders Of
bridge timbers that were wildly dashing all
around them. They had been in this con-
dition for some time when the little girl felt
that her strength was gone, and with a wild
Shrek of terror she exclaimed. "KiSs me,
mother, for / can't hold on any longer ~
And with the warm pressure of that moth
er's lips upon her cheek, she was swept
away and was seen no more.

GRANTS INDIAN POLICY.

The Philadelphia platform refers with
pride to the Indian policy of the Grant ad-
ministration. Here is Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dams opinion upon the same point:
If "a Ypite man in this country commits a
murdeR re hang him. If he steals horses
We Put hiyn in the penitentiary. If an In-
dian commits these crimes we give him bet
ter fare and more blankets. | think | may
with reason say that under this policy the
civilization of the wild red man will progress
slowly.
Sheridan is one of Grants pets and his
estimony should therefore weigh a good
deal as against the praise Of Grants office
holders and their proxies in the Philadelphia
Convention. Sheridan's opinion is con-
tirmed by citizen Of Arizona, who writes
as follows:
81 have made list OF the lives lost and
the value Of property destroyed by the great
Inyo ear hquake this spring, in California,
and assure you soiemnly that in three
counties only of Arizona we could better
stand such earthquakes every year than to
have the Apaches go on as they have done
for the last three or four years. IfEnglish-
men, Mexi ans, or Frenchmen killed of
our people as these Indians do, you would
have demanded war, and got it long ago.
Why is the Apache licensed and tolerated
assassIn?'
Here we have very strong and EN-
platte condemnation Of Grants Indian
policy,

never before been witnessed. Grants pop
alaTity is not to be compared to Greeley's.
The old farmer has Rn individuality of

nation. The more he is caricatured the
more the people cling to him."
