THE CHURCH.

The Church Of the Divine Paternity Dr. Cbapn's
in which the funeral ceremonies held, contains
only 800 people. and seemed on that account per
haps i'll suited for an occasion like this. But if il
had held 1900 it would not have been large enough
for the multitude who wanted TO be present. 1t is
the church which Mr. Greeley attended. 1t is the
church from which a month ago the remains of his
wife were carried to the grave. The tick
cts OF admission were distributed by a
committee Of the pew-holders; and though
more seem to have been issued than the size of the
church would have justified, there was good order
within the building and no moro crowding than was
TO be expected at such ceremony. UDderth direc-

HORACE GREELEY.
THE CLOSING CEREMONIES.

Yesterday the last act in the prolonged obse-
quies of Horace Greeley was performed in the
presence, one might say, of the whole
people of the United States. In
New-York and Brooklyn business came
to stand. The merchant forsook bis
ledger; the lawyer abandoned his books; the
laborer dropped his hod; tho poor girl laid
aside her needle; and all stood reverenty by
the way side while the good gray head which
"all men knew" was borne soTowfully to Its
final rest.
The whole country sympathized with u.s.
From one end of the land TO the otner flags
dropped at half-mast, and mourning drapery
hung before the closed doors. There have
been richer pageants than this; but there has
been no such magnificent, such touching dem
onstration of popular feeling.

THE FUNERAL.

Before ten o'clock the friends and associates OF
departed chief began to gather in great numbers at
the residence of Mr.. Samuel Sinclair, in West Forty
fth-st where the remains had rested since their re-
moval from the City Hail. The coffin was still
open. 1t was placed in the front parlor, and all
about il was the greatestprofuson of and beau
tiful flowers offerings from the bereaved children,
from friends and admirers, from the different de-
partments of THE TRIBUNE, and from various clubs
and societies. 1t is not too much to cay
that tho house could hardly contain the multitude
Of flowers that were brought TO it. As the invited
guests arrived, they passed through the room,
looked for a moment the dead mans face, and
went out by another door. A large force OF police
kept order in the street, and full platoon stood
drawn up in line ready TO move at the head OF the
procession. The employees Of TIE TRIBUNE formed
in double line on the sidewalk. II was q few min
utes after eleven when the pal-bearers, twenty in
number, issued from the house, and the

y. Adams Lees Antecedents.


From the Nashville Banner, March S..
ARGENT letter from a gentleman who
resides in Washington, Pa, lets in some
further light upon the antecedents OF S.
Adams Lee, the irrepressible "Confed-
crate" swindler:
rs. Adams Lee was a son of Richard
Henry Lee, Esq, who was nephew OF
Richard Henry Lee, one of the slgners
of the Declaration Of Independence.
About the year 1885 Mr.. Lee, the father
Of Samuel, was elected to a professorshlp
in Washington (Pennsylvania) College
and moved to this place from Eastern
Virginia at that time. The situation
he held about twenty years, and was
greatly beloved by all that knew him,
and especially by the students OF the
college. He was fine scholar and
Christian gentleman.
After his retirement from the col.
lege, he turned his attention to theology,
and was elected pastor in the Protestant
Episcopal Church of this place, which
position be held until his death in 1860.
Samuel was a small boy when they
came to this place, and as he grew up
bis propensity for stealing manifested
itself. lie was detected in number OF
cases, but these were generally compro-
missed through respect for his parents
When he was about seventeen years OF
age be commenced to enlarge his opera
tons by robbing the law Office OF Hon.
F. NJ. T. McKennan Of about 500, for
which offense he was tried, convicted
and sentenced to the Western Peniten-
tiary, at Allegheny, Pennsylvania. The
night previous to being taken to the
penitentiary he made an attempt TO
escape from jail. and partially succeeded,
by cutting through the wall.
After getting into the yard.he pro-
cured plank that reached nearly 10
the top Of the wall on which 10 ascend,
and while in the act OF climbing the
plank the jailor happened to 60 into the
yard. and seeing Samuel at the top, un-
kindly knocked the plank from under
him, letting him down very suddenly.
Here is where lie received the injury
that finally cost him leg instead OF
having it shot oil while On board the
Merrimac. The injury sustained at this
time continued to grow worse, and after
a wear or two his health seemed to be
failing, on account of which pardon was
procured for him. He returned to this
place and lived with his parents for
several years in exile, and finally disap-
peared from here, since which we have
not heard OF him until W. saw this
notice in the Herald
He is man Of good education and
address, and well calculated to deceive,
where his true character is unknown.

Spring Care OfCattIe.

As spring approaches cattle require
increased attention Those full fed
through the winter are apt to have
humors in the blood, while those in
scanty flesh will weaken with the first
spring days. Mich cows, also. at this
season call Tor unusual care. A judi
cious choice in the character Of the food
will carry many an animal through to
a thyi ty growth in June that with care
less management would be harvest
for the crows in April. Whatever store
OF carrots may remain in the cellar
should 90, at the rate of half peck
daily. into the manger OF each work
horse, which should also be led three
times week four or five quarts OF raw
potatoes, not only tor their succulent
and tonic properties, but also as spe'
citic preventive OF the bot-worm. For
store cattle the stock of turnips should
be carefully gagged 10 asst until the
spring grass, and soaked oats be made
to supplement the slight nutrition o.
the straw with which slender amount
of hay is too frequently eked out. And
for COWS relied upon for dairy use next
summer a daily feed OF quart, gradu-
ally increased to four, Of rye flour made
into a mash with warm water will be
found decidedly good thing in its wa!T.

Care or Horses Legs.

TIE North British Agrieulturist says :
Few men who haudle horses give pro-
per attention to the feet aud legs.
Especially is this the case on farms.
Much time is spent OF a morning in
rubbing, brushing aud smoothing the
hair on the sides and hips, but at no
time are the feet examined and properly
cared Tor. Now, be it known, that the
feet Of horse require more care than
the body. They need ten times as
much, for in one respect they are almost
the entire horse. All the grooming
that can be done won't avail anything
If the horse is forced to stand where bis
feet will be filthy. In this case the feet
will become disordered, and then the
legs will get badly out OF fix; and with
bad feet and bad legs there is not much
else of the horse that is fit for anything.
Stable prisons are generally terribly
severe on the feet and legs OF horses;
and unless these buildings can afford q
dry room, where a horse can walk
around, lie down, or roll over, they are
not half so healthy and comfortable to
the horse as the pasture, and should be
avoided BY all good hostlers in the
country.

The Boston Journal says that new
safe has been invented which makes
things very unpleasant for burglars
The walls are filled with gunpowder
in such a manner that the blows OF a
sledge or the cutting OF a chisel, in the
attempt to rob the safe, will ignite the
powder, blow off the outer crust,
annihilate the burglar, aud leave the
contents OF the safe uniujured.

FRUIT TREES.

|. When fruit trees occupy the
ground, nothing else should-except
very short grass.
=. Fruittulness and growth Of the
tree cannot be expected the same year.
g. There is no plum that the curcu,
liza will not take, though any kind may
sometimes escape for one year in one
place.
t. Peach borers will not do much
damage when stiff clay is heaped up
round the tree foot high.
). Pear blight still puzzles the great
est men. The best remedy known is to
plant two .or every one that dies.
8. If you don't know how to prune,
don't hire man from the other side OF
the sea, who knows less than YOU do.
I. Don't cut off a hig lower limb un-
less you are a renter and don't care
what becomes OF the tree when Your
time is out
s. A tree with tie limbs coming out
near the ground is worth two trees trim
med up five feet, and is worth four trees
trimmed up ten feet, and so on until
they are not worth anything.
. Trim down, not up.
10. Shorten in, not lengthen ont.
II. 1t you had an arm cut Oft, You
wouli feel it at your heart-a tree will
not feel, but rot to the heart

horticulture and agriculture, and that

for there are no such TO be hired Such
a man can make more than You can
afford to give him; and if he has sense

THE PENITENTIARY.

1t is due to Governor Palmer to say that
he has entirely broken up the old system
of party favoritism by which the people
were made to pay from fifty thousand to
one hundred thousand dollars a year to
support the Joliet Penitentiary; turned
out Warden Washburne, who was wholly
deficient in knowledge of discipline and
management; leased the labor of the CON
victs at an average Of 65 cents day and
thus made the establishment bring into
the State Treasury $50, 700 more than the
expense of running it. The courage, in
dependence, and good judgement Of Gov.
Palmer deserve to be held in grateful re-
membrance by the whole people.

The Presidential candidates of the two

Republican antecedents, and that one Of
them will be prominent Western man
some such man as Morton, or Washburne,
or Logan and the other a prominent
Eastern man-sOme such man as Adams,
or Boutwell,, or Blaine. The contest will
be between two or more Republicans The
Western man will go for rotation, and free
trade, and governmental liberalism gener-
ally, while the Eestern man will represent
political Whiggery.
The prophet says that the Western
candidate of the new Republican party will
be the successor Of General Grant in the
