The Funeral of Horace Greeley

We give the telegraphic synopsis of the chief
incidents connected with the imposing burial
of Horace Greeley, which took place in New
York on Wednesday, 4th inst. The President
and Vice President of the United States, and
numbers of distinguished persons from all
parts Of the country, together with representa-
tives from every department of industry, were
in attendance and participating in the mourn
full event. Thousands upon thousands of citi-
zens attested their reverence and sorrow at the
bier of an eminent and remarkable man, whose
moral worth and superior character alone at
tracted such universal manifestation of sincere
and unaffected regret. The thronging multi
tudes we are told, lined both sides of the streets
and filled all the door-steps, balconies and win
dows, leaving not yard of unoccupied room
throughout the distance of four miles to the
Brooklyn landing, and from thence to Green
wood Cemetery the cortegc was almost as i'm
posing. Such tribute to an American citizen
is without parallel, since there was no distinc-
ton as to whence came this spontaneous and
disinterested evidence Of genuine sorrow, but
all parties, creeds and sects joining to do honor
to the memory of Mr.. Greeley. The presence
Of Gen. Grant betokened 8 generous spirit,
willing to cast its tribute to the eminent citizen
and patriot who was so lately a political antag-
onist and competitor, Let us hope that these
occurrences will eDgender q, more tolerant
judgment in American politics. and prove the
seeds from whence shall spring greater leniency
and iorbearance, with the absence Of malignity
and personal animosities, in the future days.
Thus, from the pageant of sorrow and respect
in honor of the dead journalist, might arise a
wholesome influence for the display of justice
and magnanimity, which would be an eloquent
eulogy upon the services rendered by the dead
during the last months of his active.iife, when
he strove so earnestly for the reconciliation OF
all portions Of his native country.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

Seven years ago We adopted the plan of send
ing our Farmer Cooking Stoves through the
country with wagons, by our travelling sales
men, in order to supply want long felt in the
South, and that each family might have an op-
portunity of seeing if not purchasing one of
these indispensable household articles. The
abundant success of our enterprise throughout
the States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Georgia, and the universal favor with which
our Stoves are received everywhere, convinces
us that in order to supply the continued grow
ing demand, we must largely increase our for
ces at the Foundry; hence we have increased
our daily manufacture of this one pattern TO
thirty, and will still further increase it to fifty
if our trade continues to demand it. Our sales
men, who Will visit you, are authorized to give
same terms as though you made the purchase
direct from ourselves at the Foundry. We
have but one price, which is cast on the Stove,
and from that We never deviate.
This Stove has no complicated arrangements,
such as hampers and inside fue plates, as in
other Stoves, which confuse the mind, and the
neglect of which interfereS with the perfect
working of the Stove, but is SO simple that any
one may use it successfully. 1t IS made from
the best qualities Of new iron, only so mixed
as to secure tough, strong plate, which is very
heavy, the cracking of which by fire never oc-
curs Below we publish few of the many re-
commends we are receiving daily from some Of
the best citizens of the State:

MEssRs. CULVER BROTHERS: We cheerfully
grant YOU permission to use our names as you
see proper in commendation of your FARMER
| COOKING STOVE, for we regard it as being alto
gether the best Cooking Stove in use. It is all
that is desirable in Stove, for it is simple in
construction, has no dampers or flues to burn
out and bakes quick and beautifully. We be-
speak for you liberal patronage from our
neighbors and friends, believing as we do that
none who purchase one of these Stoves will
ever regret it, but will consider it rare prize
in these days when good cooks are so ha-d to
get.

Honest Old Horace loves Democrats,

don't recriprocate. lie is sadly in need Of
their votes in fact, must have them, and
yet they hold aloof. Perhaps one reason of
their coyness in this queer courtship is to
be found in the following pen-picture Of
them which this great and good" man
drew before he needed their votes
THE STAKEHOLDER is dead; but over his grave
the Democratic party whines and raves in the
hope that some miracle may yet work his resur-
FICTION. Loving the dead master so long, it hates
the liberated slaves. Look for the purpose which
controls its action and it will be found only in its
mad. unreasoning, inhuman hatred of the negro,
Take this away and the party falls to pieces.

PROTE CTlON, HOW 1T WORKS IN
FRANCE.

The wonderful recuperation shown by
France under the present regime, is mat
ter of very general comment the civilized
world over. The Empire had been drifting
into free trade as one Of NaDoleon's pet
schemes OF national advancement, but the
result, up to the time of the late war,
showed anything but favorable balance
sheet in the commercial transactions ofthe
French people. But under the protective
policy of the Theirs government, an evil
d,nce of new life and vigor is being given
to the foreign trade of France. During the
last years of the Empire, under the infu-
ence of free-trade treaties, this trade had
been turned very much to her disadvantage,
but it is now in a rapid course of restora-
ton to healthy condition. During six
months of 1872 the value on imports was
1878, 800, 900 francs, and the exports were
valued at l ,727 10000 francs, showing a
balance on the right side Of 5000, 900
francs. AS compared with the same period
in 1870 the imports have increased four
millions, while the exports have shown q
gain of 1876, 900, 900 francs. The free
trade papers have their own way of ac
counting for this change, but to the un,
tntored mind it would seem that, while the
prospects of change in the economical
policy of the government had but Sigh
effect or none at all upon the purchase.
made by France, something besides uncer
tainty of the future must be called int
account for the extraordinary increase O.
ten per cent. in the export of manufacturer
goods in spite of the loss of Alsace. If W,
did not fear being charged with stupidity
by the free-traders, we should timidly ven
ture the theory that the prospect of free
dom from foreign competition had stimula
ted the French manufacturers to al
increased production which they had NJ
difficulty in disposing of to customers from
abroad. Even the Journal deS D6bats
which is exceedingly melancholy over th'
retrograde policy ofM. Theirs, sees this vir>
tue in the returns that they show France
to be recovering the money which she was
obliged to pay to Germany, but strangely
enough it sees no virtue whatever in the
policy which has reversed the recent order
Of things and restored the current of money
to its former direction.
