GREELEY'S PUGNACITY.
How the Great Editor Reproved a Crowd

How the Great Editor Reproved q Crowd
of &otham Skuli1ers. en
Horace Greeley, as is well known,
was very pronounced non-resistant,
yet he was one of the most pugnacious
men in the world. A curious instance
of this incongruous temperament and
its result came under the writer obser-
walton on one occasion, occasioning
him some surprise. It was the general
opinion that the old fellow was coward
at heart and made use of his non-ra-
sistant professions as screen to pro-
tect himself from personal injury at
the hands Of an opponent. 1t was
Sunday morning in New York at the
very commencement OF the war, just
after the great Bull Run scare, and the
Government authorities at Washington
were frantically calling for troops. The
Metropolitan Hotel of New York, then
the great uptown exchange, was filed
by a motley crowd, drinking, smoking
and discussing the situation of be-
leagured Washington. Among the
cvowd, were several army officers in
full uniform, smoking their cigars and
criticising Lincoln as command
chief in sneering way, when a COM
motion occurred in the doorway, and
Greeley, with his old felt hat on the
back of his head, rushed through the
crowd ana ZIP to the group of officers
and addressed them somewhat after
this style: "Why are you loating about
here, you miserable towards? Why
are you not reporting yourselves at
Washington This is a resort for.
skulkers. Aren't you ashamed of your
selves?" The biggest fellow of the
group was terribly angry, and lifting
his heavy sword he thundered out,
"Repeat those words, old man, and I'll
split your skulln' Greeley threw off
the old felt hat exclaiming: ''Strike as
soon as you please; [ repeat what I
have already said Every one epresent
expected that the old man would be-
cut down; instead, the fellow turned
on his heel, saying, Come away, boys,
[ won't strike the old lunatic. y Gree
ley gave them one contemptuous look,
and took his departure. Budget.
