The Worried Philosopher Seeks
Repose at Chappaqua.
THE GOSSIP IN THE CITY.
The Arrival of More Congratulatory Tele-
grams What the Bulls and Bears
Think About Greeley-The Opin-
ion of a Prominent Importer.
WHAT John MORRISSEY WANTS TO BET.

The Sage OF Chappaqua remained at his editorial
rooms on Printing House square, on Friday night
until after eleven O'Clock, busy at letter writing
and receiving congratulatory dispatches. His
smooth, round head could be seen by curious OBJ
servers on the square bobbing up and down under
meath the shaded gaslight until the hour OF mid
night drew close to hand and the streets had be-
come almost deserted.
FEW POLITICAL FRIENDS
visited him. and it was reported that a number OF
prominent democratic lights had been closeted with
him in the course OF the evening, but there is no
conclusive confirmation of such report. 1t was
said that
SAMMY TILDEN
and the leading Davis reformers OF this city had
called to pledge him their support. How far these
matters are facts the reporter unable to ascer
tain 1t is known, however, that Mr. Greeley was
kept very busy all evening, and would admit the
visits OF only few friends.
REST FOR THE NIGHT.
When he had finished his labors he donned his
overcoat and hat and marched into French's Hotel
for the night. The lobby Of the hotel nearly de-
serted and the few countrymen there who had
been betrayed into sitting up to so late an hour
did not know that Presidential nominee, in his
historical white coat was In their presence. There
was consequently no demonstration. But the few
gallant form a. once, and never did Mr.. Greeley
receive such jealous attention or more hearty
''wELCOME AN INN''
than these colored boys showed him on the night OF
his nomination They tried to brush his coat two
or three tines and several Of them seized upon his
bundle of papers and carried 1t up to his room. A
couple carried candles to show him the way and
couple more contended for the honor Of unlocking
his room door, Finally the Philosopher was left
to himself, and doubtless slept swee tly.
HIS CHAPPAQUA FARM.
Yesterday morning, after hasty breakfast, he
departed by the Harlem Railroad for his farm at
Chappaqua. The farm comprises seventy-ive acres,
lying on the little stream called ChappaIua, thirty
two miles from City Hall, and bordering on the
little village OF Chappaqua. Here, in his two-story
cottage, fronting the dirt road, surrounded by his
loved forest trees, his hemlocks, evcrgreens and
oaks, his witch-hazel shrubs, his cabbage garden,
his dashing brooklet, his fresh spring and the two
stout hills 0vershadowing his farmhouse the sturdy
farmer secluded himself from the search and bother
OF the politicians He will return his editorial
duties at two p. NJ. to-day.
