Mr.. Hickman, general manager of the
Grand Trunk railroad, has left for home,

Central having fallen through. Wander.
bilt says, The trouble had grown out Of
the efforts OF the Grand frank to pro.
vide for the apporlionmeu Of live stock

by the ton. Among railroad men a car.
load was understood to consist Of ten
tons, butthe Grand Trunk has demanded

had been deFso-ed from the control of
the TrssSR~ Another had assumed
the management If the journal
founded by him. and if he remained
connected with il longer, it must lie
only a. mere subordinate. He
could not consent to that, and on
the 18th of November be left the
editorial rooms Of the Tribune for
ever, broken hearted man; and he
never returned.
Soon it began to be whispered
that Mr.. Greeley was sick, and then
that he was insane, and had been con-
veyed to an asylum. Finally, about
the 25th of that month, statement
to the latter effect was printed in
one OF the morning newspapers.
The next morning the following
paragraph, which had been sent to
the other papers from the Tribune
office, was printed in most of them:
"Tho reports of Mr.. Greeley's confine-
ment at BloOmingdale, or any other asy-
lum, or of fapplication for his admission to
any, are prepOsterous. He is still suffer-
ing from nervous collapse, the result of
loss of nearly all sleep almost continuous
~ for over a month, during his wife's i'll
ness. This finally affected the nerves of
the stomach, and it for days rejected food,
the system was still more weak
ened. Within day or two there has been
a marked change Tor the better. both in
sleeping and eatfifE, and his physicians
are hopeful; but he is still very sick
man, and, for the present, his friends can
best show their regard by letting him
alone.
The truth is that, at the time this
was printed, Mr.. Greeley had been
confined for nearly a week in DR..
Choate's private insane asylum,
where none were permitted to see him
but few very intimate friends and |
members of his family. Almost his |
last coherent words were: "The |
country is gone, the Tribune is gone,
and I am gone!'

One Aunt too Many.

l don't know anything about my
relations. have hosts of them in
all places have ever lived or visited;
1 am one of eighteen children, my
father was one of twenty-five, and
my mother had twelve sisters.
As I am closely occupied by bust
ness, and have very imperfectly-
developed social nature, it is not
very strange that I know only some
dozen or two of my nearest kith and
kin.
Indeed, I have two brothers whom
l have never seen, and three sisters
1 hardly know by sight! Perhaps
am more acquainted with my grand
mother, on my mothers side, than
with half of my other relatives, for
often visited the old lady, when I was
school-boy, and have met her oc-
casionally since, which is more than
can say of many of the others. So
much for my family.

upbraided me with being false to

such a state of indignation that I be-
gan to get a little yexed in turn.

The contrast between the proud.

and this cheerful, sunshining little

her. She charmed me more and
more, and I was made exceedingly
glad, when we parted, by receiving
an invitation to call upon her.
It is, perhaps. needless to state
that I did call, and had a very pleas
ant time. Then I called again.
As ill-luck would have it. Con-
stance Farley was an inyererate
walker. and spent a part of eyery day
in the open air. to which fact. doubt

roseate health and freshness. All
very we'll for her. to be sure. but un-

continually meeting her on Broad

to walk with her. And while thus

from her one morning, containing
my photograph, q bracelet I had given

A Chapter Of Unpublished History.

inst. contains an unpublished chap
ter in the life of this great man whose
name heads the article. The events
in his life which rapidly succeeded
Mr.. Greeley's nomination for Presi'
dent, have never been fully pre-
sented, and now for the first time
the missing link is supplied in the
chain of occurrences which led to
his death. 1t is conclusively shown
that the loss of the control of the
Tribune, and not his defeat in the
election, was the true cause of his
insanity and death. ~
The Sun says that Mr.. Greeley g
speeches during the Presidential
campaign were esteemed by compe-
tent judges the most extraordinary
productions of his life. Indeed,
persons who had previously placed
the highest estimate upon his tai
ents were surprised at the original
ity, the variety and the power Of
these addresses. And at the close
of the campaign his mind was Us
bright and clear as ever. Nothing
could be more perspicuous, nothing
could be more sensible, than The fol-
lowing card which he wrote and
signed on the sixth of November,
when he fondly imagined himself to
be resuming the editorial control Of
the Tribune:
1.-THE undersigned resumes the editor.
ship of the Tribune. which he relinuuished
on embarking in another line of business,
six months ago. HencefOrth ii shall be
his aim to make this a thoroughly inde-
political movements with judicial fairness
and candor, but counting the favor and
depreciating the wrath Of no one.
"If he can hencef0rth say anything that
will tend to heartily unite, tho whole
Universal Amnesty and Impartial Suff-
rage, he will gladly do so. For the pres
ent, however, he can best commend that
c0nsummation by silence and forbearance.
The victors in our late struggle can hardly
1ail to take the whole subject Of Southern
rights and wrongs into early and earnest
consideration, and to them for the present
he reulits it.
"Since he will never again be candi-

will be able, and will endeavor. TO give
