Editors of the Register:
see BY the exchanges, that every
paper in the land, from the most noted
to the humblest, have extended notices
ofthe tunersiof Horace Greeley. Moth.
ing that I'csn cay will add to the COM
pleteness OF the account. A deep AMI
lasting impression was made upon the
minds oithousauds Of people, which no
other kindred spectacle ever made. The
people-the common people. however
much they differed from Horace Gree.
ley, in religion and politics, still re.
spected him Tor his downright earnest
ness, his sincerity and his honesty.
the spectacle at the church was grand
and sublime. The mournful decora-
tons we're in exceedingly good taste
The profusion Of flosers, which were
eagerly sought by thousands as me
menloes, added a CLEAN Of cheerfulnes-
to the scene which would otherwise
have been so severe in it's solemnity.
THE PROCESSION.
But to see that long proce sion wend
ing i's silent wsv through the thronged
streets Of this great city; see the rich
and the poor gazing with tea full eyes;
the head uncovered, is a sight which
will never be forgotten by those who
were 30 fortunate as to witness it, At
Greenwood, the scene was one Of pecu
Ii IT interest, as the remains OF the great
man were placed BY the side OF his wife,
20 whom he had been 30 long and de.
votedly attached.
D MEsrIo RELATIONS.
Mr. Greelev's most intimate friends
say that he was not an attentive hus-
b md, but a sincerely aff1ctionste one"
and among the noblest OF HIS words
were those in the defense OF the sacred
ness OF the marriage relation. Az a
father he was deeply solicitous for the
welfare of his children.
THE PROPOSED FUND FOR HIS DAUGH-
TIERS.
When the New York Herald first
proposed to raise fund TO, the dau h.
ters Of Mr.. Greeley, / said once, if | Am
not mistaken, no child Of Horace Gree
ley's will accept such large
sum OF money as a do
nation. felt that what Greeley
preached to others he practiced in his
family. and | knew his children would
be reliant enough to get along without
receiving ANYTHING more than kirdnese
aud love and a chance to help them
selves.
