fsmiiarly and siiectionately called by
tbousspds of printers and writers, was for
over thirty years prominent in journalism.
He was an associate OF Horace Gresleys
whom the New York Tribune was rapidly
growing into fame. He came from New
Hampshire when mere boy, with strong
desire to become a journalist, and having
great powers of application and thor
ouphly conscientious devotion to detail he
made a broad and enduring mark in the
nrofessio3, His close devotion TO work

and charity led to an expenditure OF

charity and pocket with any tale OF dis
