A GREAT AND GOOD MAN GONE.

The remains Of the dead Philosopher lay yester-
day in the house OF his friend, Samuel Sinclair 90
West F0rty-hfth street. They reclined In the black
cloth covered casket in the rear parlor with tan
temple Of white mowers at the head and the fowery
testimonials Of loving hands scattered over the
THE FACE OF rHs DEPARrED PATRIOT
looked as mobile and gentle as in
lie. The eyes were closed as calmly and lines
about the mouth were drawn as peacefully as in
sleep. The broad forehead was as smooth and
placid as in the most pleasant days Of his noble
career, and the general contour of his face as yet
unpinched by the chill hand Of death, retained the
look OF large benevolence and childish innocence
that had become its famous characteristic.
THE COFFIN
Is OF solid chestnut wood, covered with black
cloth. 1t is prolusely ornamented with silver
holdings, and has three silver handles on each
side and one on each end. s
THE NOTICE IN THE HERALD
that the body would be visible to those friends Of
the dead Philosopher WHO might desire to look
upon 1t during the day brought such multitudes Of
visitors to the house that the parlors could not
conveniently admit them, and it was found neces-
sary to turn away all but the immediate personal
friends OF the deceased. A policeman was secured
to keep back those who were not personally &C
1uainted with the family, In order that those who
were might have the sad consolation OF looking
upon his features in quiet. The policeman had
busy day OF it. Men came who said, 1--WE were not
personally acquainted with Mr. Greeley but we
had
LOVE AND AFFECTION FOR HIM
that entities us to look upon his body.n 81 cannot
help it," said the policeman, "only friends can be
admitted to-day" 1--WE were all his friends, re-
sponded the bystanders; but the policeman's duty
was plain, and the unknown callers left, contentng
themselves with the hope that they could view his
remains to-day.
A STEADY STREAM OF PERSONAL FRIENDS
passed into the hall and fingered for moment
about the great PATRIOTS CONN. Strong men
looked upon his face with tears streaming from
their eyes, and s0bbed like children, and stopped
hnd impressed upon his calm white forehead the
last kiss Of affection "like unto the love Of wO
man." Political friends who had battled by his
eide in his last great campaign, old heroes OF many
political struggles, who had felt and acknowledged
che powerful help OF his strong arm and pen in
earlier days. and men who had battled against
him, came alike to his side and mutely paid the
tribute OF love and respect to his memory States
men have died and had honors paid them, but few
have received such testimonials Of
AN UNsELFIsH AFFECTION,
q love entwining itself about the hearts OF men,
[R personal endearment that might have been
thing apart from the colder tributes OF respect and
honor. The liieess champion OF universal bro
|therhood has been successful far beyond Presi-
[dences and leaderships, for hearts have been
given him better than votes and holy enshrine-
ment grander than national honors
