AS his life was admired, his deatl
will be regretted by countless host
of friends in both hemispheres, and o
all creeds and races of men; and his
enemies will be disarmed in striking
the balance between his merits and his
faiings. In that. broad field of Jour.
nalism which embraces liberty to the
slave, relief to the sick and uufortu-
nate, comfort to the poor, knowledge
to the ignorant, and the general
elevation of the human family. we
recognize in the loss of Mr. Greeley
the loss of powerful public benefac-
tor. To sum up his merits in a word
he has, in the battle of life, fought a
good iight-he leaves an honored
name behind him, and the high re ward
OF an encouraging example as an
American journalist and a self-made
man.
The ". \. Post says:
Probably no man could have died at
this moment in this country, perhaps
in the world, whose death would have
produced more profound sensation.
Few men have appeared in our history
whose lives and characters could be
regarded as more characteristic OF the
peculiar influence of our social and
political civilization than his life and
character. or obscure parentagc,
humble in circumstances, without other
education than that limited and ele
mentary kind which is gained by severe
effort in the midst If exhausting daily
labors, he was yet able to lift himself
to the front rank Of highly intellec-
tual profession, TO become the adviser
and counsellor of the most distinguish
ell statesmen of his day to be recog-
nlzed AS leader of popular opinion,
and to receive, finally, from q larger
class OF his trllow-citiZens. the highest
honor that they could bestow upon
hun. Il nomination to the Chief Mapis.
tracy of the country. Without family.
money, friends or any Of the usual
supports by which men are helped into
eminencc, Mr.. Greeley won his place
Of influence and distinction by the
sheer force Of his intellectual ability
and the determination of his character.
By good natural abilities, by industry.
by sympathy with what is noblest and
best III human nature, and bv earnest
purpose, the ignorant, friendess, un-
known printers boy of few wears
since became the powerful and famous
journalist, whose words went to the
ends Of the earth, affecting the des-
tlnics Of all mankind.
The great misfortune Of his life was
IT'S greatest distinction,-his nomina
ton At Cincinnati,-a distinction most
unfortunate for him, not merely that il
was the proNimate cause Of his death.
but that it unqncstionably served to
render him less popular, or to show
that he was less popular than he was
supposed to be Who can tell how
much this also may have served TO

LIFE AND CHARACTER.

The World Of Saturday makes the
following remarkable statement in re-
lation to the last days of alr. Greeley:
Horace Greeley breathel his last at
ten minutes before o'clock last even
ing. lie died very quietly and without
pain, surrounded by few friends ana
his eldest daughter. The sad event.
IN the case of 50 public man. re-
moves the constraint which delicate
consideration has hitherto imposed.
and the time has now come when the
whole truth Of his illness cannot with
justice be longer withheld. 1t is pro-
bable that Mr.. Greeley's mind had been
seriously affected before even the Pres
idential election took place. The Sc
we're tax upon his mental and physical
system produced by the great labor
which he performed Immediately before
the October elections, the disastrous
result Immediately after, the chagrin
which he felt at the consequences to
the Tribune and to himself from his
candidature. the illness and death of
Mrs. Greeley, proved constantly upon
his mind. SO that before the final de-
cision of the Presidential contest even
his vigor of mind had been irreparably
impaired. After that time, and before
his fatal illness. it is understood that
he was examined by DIR. Brown, of the
Bloomingdaie ASYLUM, and other med
ical experts, and that the opinion Civ
en- was that even had it been possible
for him to have survived the sickness
which has resulted in his death he
would nave remained victim of mel
| ancholia, one of the most incurable
forms of dementla.'
In its leading editorial the World
says:

The Obituary DeDartment.
BY MAX ADELER.

j. Alfred Brimmer, editor and pro-
prietor OF The Morning Glory, having
observed the disposition OF persons
who have been bereayed of their rela-
tives to give expression to their feel
ings in a poetical form, reflected that
1t might perhaps be good thing to
Introduce TO his paper department
of obituary poetry. He considered
whether, if when an individual inserted
fifteen cents worth of death-notice,
the establishment should contribute
gratuitously V halfa-doliar's worth Of
mortality stanzas, his paper would not
at once become the most popular
vehicle for the conveyance of that
peculiar form of melancholy intelli-
gence to the public. And Mr. Brim-
mer rightly estimated that, as most
newspaper readers seem TO take a
deeper interest in such sepulchral news
than in information of any other kind,
the journal containing the largest sup
ply would have the greatest number of
subscribers So Mr.. Brimmer de-
termined that he would, as an expert.
ment at any rate, engage an obituary
poet for a short time, with the purpose
to give MIN permanent employment if
the plan seemed 10 take with the pub
lie. Accordingly he sent for Mr.. Rem
ington OFT, a constructor of verses,
who had frequently contributed to the
columns of The Morning Glory poems
of what would have been considered
by a tastidious student OF English
literature an appalling and reyolution-
airy character. Mr. Brimmer soon
effected an arrangement with the bard,
by which it was agreed that Mr.. OF,
should take a position in the Office fol
short time. and whenever a death.
notice arrived he should Immediately
endeavor to grind out some verses ex-
pressive of the situation.
You understand, Mr.. OFT, explained
Brimmer, that when the death of al
individual is announced, | want you, a.
it were. to cheer the afflicted family
with the resources of your noble art
wish you to throw yourself, you ma,
say into their situation, and to Civ
them a verse or two about the corps
which will seem to be the expression
of the emotion Of the hearts OF tn
living"

a judicious intermixture of club and
dog-bites.'
And this sighed the poet outside
the door, is the man who told me to
divert McFadden's mind from conte m
platiOn of the horrors of the tomb. Ii
was this monster who counselled me to
make the sunshine of McFa;iden's
smiles burst through the tempest OF
McFadden's tears! If that red-headed
monster couldn't smile over that allu-
sion to whiskcy and rum; if those re-
marks about the rheumatism in her
legs could not divert his mind from
the horrors of the tomb-was it mn
fault: McFaddcn grovels He knows
no more about poetry then speckled
mule knows about the Shorter Cata-
chism.
The poet determined to leave before
any further criticisms were made upon
MS performances. He jumped down
from his chair and crcpt softly toward
the back staircase. Arriving at the
landing, he suddenly encountered
Brlmmer, who was moving in the same
direction. The editor had hardly time
enough to utter a"profanc ejaculation
and to lift his hand to strike the poet,
when an old lady in poke bonnet and
silver spectaclcs suddenly emerged
from the stairway and pinned the edi-
tor TO the wall with the ferule of her
umbrella. After grinding her teeth at
him for 4 moment she floorcd him with
her weapon, and seating herself upon
his PROSTATE form, she extracted n
copy of The Morning Glory from her
bag, and, pointing TO certain stanza
IN the obituary column asked OFT TO
al it aloud. He did so. 1t ran in
this fashion:
Little Alexan ier'- dead;
Jam him in D cofiil;
Don't have a. good a chance
For nin'raI often;
Rush hi' body right around
To tbs cemetery.
Drop hi n in the sepu chre

nant conqueror punched the fallen
Brmmcr ribs with her umbrella, and
exclaimed:

poet groped his way down stairs, six
steps at time, and emerged from the
front door with remarkable suddennes,.
