TfiURLOw WEED.

1t would take volume TO properly re-
count the important events in the veteran
Journalists life, which ended yesterday at
his home in New York City. THURLow
WEED has been power in American poll
tics for over fifty years, and was in many
respects one of the most remarkable men
of the age. He was born at Cairo, n. y,
on the 18th OF November, 1877, just eighty
five years ago. His early life was CON
tinued struggle against poverty, and is
another of the myriad illust rations fur
nished in our history of what pluck and
brain can do in overcoming the obstacles and
trying difficulties that beset the pathway of
the ambitious but poor young man. lie
became at an early age a iourneyman
printer and after having worked on
various papers in that capacity at
the age OF twenty two became pro-
prietor and editor of paper lie
was married the year previous. His fort
tunes varied until 1880, when the Albany
Evening Journal was established. From
that time until 1862 Mr.. WEED was the pro-
prietor of the Journal and welded power
second to no man in the nation. His pen
was bitter, but none the less powerful, and
conventions and nominations were based
upon his preferences. He made john
Quincy ADAMS president, was later on, a
supporter of HENRY CLAY, and when
the anti-slavery agitation arose, was
one of the chief spirits OF The
republican party. Mr.. WEED was al
ways the warm friend and supporter
of SEWARD, for whom he worked manlully
at the Chicago convention in 1860; but LIN
COLIN carried the day. WEED afterwards
became one of .LINCoLN's confidential adj
visers, and was one of the most active
spirits In the north against the rebellion
Since the war he has been living in retire
ment in the metropolis, and now, aftei
honors have crowned his many years
passes away, from general debility and old
age. In personal appearance Mr.. WEEr
was distinguished looking man, standing
upwards OF six feet and finely formed
His large head was well covered with white
hair; steady, grayish-bluc eyes, a nose that
would have recommended him to Ma
poLEoN as a marshal, and closely com
pressed lips. As n writer hi:
style was of the pthy, pungen,
condensed order and his editorials were
brief, witty, caustic, bitter but powerful
lie was elected on two or three occasions tc
the New York legislature, but was never
particularly distinguished as speaker
His whole force was in Lis pen, and the AL
bany Journal, under his management, was
one of the most powerful political influences
in the country. However distasteful the
differences of the past may have made
TuURLow WEED to his personal and politi
cal foes, the grand triumphs of his life
coming from the lowest to the highest
walks OF society by dint of his own inherent
force, and thus indicating his greatness o
character, cannot at this particular tim,
but cause all to join in an unieigned OK
preston Of admiration for the ability ant
achievements of man whom nature has
made great indeed.

uEwBERr SPENCER ON AMERICAN
life

Mn SPENCER is justly celebrated phi-
modern thinkers. Hehas made society," its
growth and peculiar features special
study and it may therefore be supposed that
he speaks as one who knows when he de
livers himself on social matters, For few
months past he has been in the United
States on what he terms resting spell, ;
but it seems, nevertheless, that he has been
improving his time studying the Ame,i-
can character and American institutions.
He expresses himself as in the main OK.

States, but he seems to have judged us too
closely by European standards, to have
made too many comparisons to do lis full

while back, and in the course OF response
made by him to toast he took occasion to
say that the one fault he had to find with

and seeming uncomfortable antipathy to

"Old Shipnates y

The celebrated play of Robert G. Morris,
entitled "Old Shipmates," was produced at
Craddock's opera-hou.e, in this city, last
evening for the first time to large audi
ence. "Old Shipmates" had been looked
forward to with much interest by the pleas
ure-loying public and it can be truly said
that no disappointment was occasioned by
the performance last evening. Mr.. Frank
Mordaunt's reputation as an actor and
John NJ. Burke's reputation as a manager,
were sufficient to guarantee success. The
