TARRYTowN, N. r., May "a, 1872
Mr.. Greeley left the city at five O'Clock yesterday
afternoon for Tarrytown, where a reception had
been arranged for him by Mr.. ]. r. Stewart. He
was accompanied by Mr. Woodman and Mr.. Samuel
Sinclair. He was the object of observation and ad-
mlration among the passengers, as usual. The
murmur ran around the car, 'There's Greeeyo
"There's the next President" As soon as his
new white hat and venerable white locks
appeared In the Car doorway q number
of gentlemen came about him and introduced them
selves, and the news spread rapidly through the
train and apparently at all the stations along the
line. At Yonkers individual outside was
heard to demand loudly the appearance
Of the Sage. Another, with an unmls-
taxable hccup, joined in the cry, and added,
"God bless him; l love him for his temperament
The Sage is too well used to these demon
STATIONS to let them disturb his equanimity,
but the rest OF the passengers highly amused.
At Tarrytown Mr. J. r. Stewart met the party on
the PLATFORM put them into his carriage and dro We

Der Of handsome residences In this charming vii
lage, including those OF William A. Aspinwall, Will

John 9. Fremont, Mr.. shcGelin ana other citizens
OF New York.
HORACE IN MS ELEMENT.
Mr.. John II. Stewards residence is high up on the
hill, about mile from the town. The grounds are
spacious and beautiful, the drives wind about
among delicious flower beds and placid lakes, while
the green grass, refreshed into blooming beauty
by the late welcome rains, lends an additional en-
chantment to the view. The arrangements for the
entertainment Of the guest Of the evening were
very simple. hemlock pole forty feet long, cut
for the purpose from the Chappaqua forests,
had been erected ct the edge OF the
croqnet grounds, and from its peak, In the stir
breeze or the Hudson, oated the bright starred nag
of America. The glorious moonlight obviated the
necessity OF the Chinese lanterns. with which the
host had proposed to tighten up the grounds and
piazza and hallway, where the philosopher under
went the American ordeal of O handshaklng re-
ception was additionally lighted up by the glare of
A GREAT nANDsHAKrNe ORDEAL.
On arriving at Mr.. Stewards the party took tea
and viewed the Hudson. AS early as seven O'Clock
the villagers and the prominent citizens began to
arrive. The great philosopher sat on the
a sna ocs hands w mD shs so @s
as they arrived. Among those who first
came to shake hands with him were:-Rcv.

A delegation OF workmen from the shoe factory
OF Silver Brothers came up In q body, and the
philosopher went out on the lawn and shook hands
and conversed with them; he talked protection
and said they ought to have at least fifty shoe and
cotton factories on the Hudson.

MR.. GREELEY ADDRESSES THE CROWD.
The crowd having become quite dense, at about
hafpas eight O'Clock Mr. Greeley came forward on
the piazza, and after repeated cheers the part OF
his hearers, spoke as folows:---
LADIES. GENTLEMEN AND FRIENDs-You know

expected eS,r to discuss public questions nor
am not debarred from advising you, as my
neighbors, on topics Of interest to ourselves.
We are not, many OF us, ! dare say, natives OF

say; indeed carpetbagged here. For fifteen years

paper myself and It circulated pretty wei, though
there were some people who had the bad taste not
to like 1t. or course my name got In.
WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT FARMING.
thought farm People began to wonder what
it looked like, how much it averaged and what
that was going to ruin with my system OF farm
Ing, and told me that cranberry vines only grew on
apple trees. Some said my turnips cost more than
ought to come to at first cost. These people were
not asked TO advise me; many gave their advice
without asking.
