flowed down his deathiy pale cheeks.

scene was too affecting fOr those who
witnessed it, and all shed tears. Mr..
Johnson dropped the hat and coat. too
much affected to say word. He Eevex
expected to see his old friend again. 1t
was deemed best that Mr.. Greeley SHOULD
remain over night at the residence of
AR. John Il. Stuart, in Tsrrytovn. Mr..
Stuart WAS AN old friend, and it may be
remembered that it was ut his house that
one of the first receptions rendered t.
Mr.. Greeley after HIS nomination was
given. He, was restless all night, and a
strict watch was kept upon all of his
movements. He seemed to know that he
was on the way to an asylum At first
he told Mr. Stuart that he would not
leave the house. 1t was only after Mr..
and Mrs. Stuart promised to call and see
him every day, that he consented to SO.
Before leaving Mr.. Stuart's residence he
walked through the grounds. Suddenly
stopping and gazing intently vt two small
shrubs, he said: I'VE must put the cider
in the ground, for it will freeze hard be-

alarmed, and tn n eadeavored to place
him in close carriage for removal to

u long time refused to so. He repeatedly
| said to Mr. Stuart, Don't let them take

and Mrs. Stuart that he consented to 60

Choate's, the disease developed itself in
mania were hourly witnessed, and he was
treatment at the hands Of experienced
physicians proved of no avail, and the
patient gradually sank into a state of I'M
consciousness. The Inflammation of the
brain made the stomach sympathize with
it to such an extent that Mr.. Greeley re-
fused and Was unable to take food in any
form. He gradually became worse. aud
failed to recognize the few intimate
friends and relatives who visited him
His daughter Ida was with him night and
day So violent did he become that it
was found necessary to remove most Of
the furniture from the room. At one
time he tore the watch presented to him
by the employees Of the Tribune apart. and
again he threw . kerosenee lamp on the
floor, setting the room on fire, and mar
rowly escaping being burned to death.
As his strength left him, he became more
quiet, but did not show any signs Of
consciousness until about an hour before
his death.
Mr.. Greeley PASSED a very ne. tess night
Thursday. He rnved incot all
night, threw his arms wildly about and
rolled and tossed from one tide of the
bed to the other. At SA. II. he remained !
His extremities gradually |
became cold, and he was mo,ionless in |
his bed. Dr. Choate, Miss Id, Greeley,
Mr.. and Mns. John Il. Stuart, and |
"Aunty" Sampson were in constant at
tendance. but Mr.. Greeley did not recog-
nize them.
During the afternoon he appeared to
be praying. Once he said aloud in o
strong voice. Il know that my Redeemer !!
iyeth," An hour later he repeated sew
eral times, Il died before was born"
and at precisely O'Clock, he alarmed
those about him by saying. in his natural
tone Of voice. 1T IS done" These were
his last words.
