GREELEY AS A PosEUR.
Great Editor Was Prone to Harmless
Affectation.

There was great deal Of innocence
In Horace Greeley as well as not lit
tie affectation. He was rarely seen
without one trousers leg carelessly
caught in the upper part of his boot,
and a necktie with bow under his
ear. Once in the public room Of a
hotel friend of Greeley's kindly
pulled down the disarranged trousers
leg and Strengthened the necktie.
Greeley thanked him and soon after
left the room. When in the course OF
half an hour he appeared in the street
the trousers leg and the necktie had
been carefully disarranged, and the
man looked as negligent of things
earthly as he always looked. 1t was
part { his pose as man of genius
to wear his trousers leg and his neck
tie as If he had put them on In a
hurry while absorbed in meditation. 1t
was a harmless eccentricity.

Sea Trees.

Forms of life in the sea are far

there are probably far bigger fish in
the sea than ever come out Of 1t;

feet in height are quite common Ia

kind of brown seaweed, the upper

quarter of an inch in thickness.
Countless bladders, like miniature
balloons. and about as big as g
