HORACE GREELEY’S STATUE.

New York’s Handsome Tribute to the Great Editor. New York honored one of her most illustrious sons last week when a statue of Horace Greeley was unveiled at Thirty third street and Broadway. The exercises were of an impressive character and elo uent tributes were paid to the memory of the great editor. Amos J. Cummings was the orator of the day and District Attorney Fellows, acting for Mayor Gilroy, accepted the statue in behalf of the city. The statue is of bronze, seven feet

high, and represents Mr. Greeley sitting in a contemplative attitude, with a newspaper in one hand and spectacles in the other. The pedestal is of Quincy granite. On one side is the inscription: “Erected under the auspices of Horace Greeley Post, G. A. R., No. 577, New York Typographical Union, No. 6, and Brooklyn Typographical Union, No. 98.”
