The Funeral of Mr. Greeley.

- K*w Toes, December 4. Tn interior of the Church of the DiTine Paternity, where Mr. Greeley’s obse- 1 quit* were helQ, presented a sombre and beautiful appearance. Outside of the church were throngs waiting in respectful silence. Police stood in front of the church as a guard. The church was opened at about half-past ten, although ladies had previously been admitted and filled the galleries. During the hour which elapsed before the arrival of the procession, a strain of music was discoursed by the choir. Among the first celebrities to arrive Were Governor Hoffman and President Chant Roscoe Conkling soon after entered, and immediately following him were Henry Wilson, Minister Washburne, and Secretary Belknap, who sat at the right of the pnlpit. There were also General Schurz. Lyman Trumbull, and Vice-Pres-ident Colfax, who took a seat near the President The crowds outside'extended as far as the eye could reach, on either aide on Fifth avenue, awaiting the arrival of the procession. At eleven o’clock the procession started from Mr. Sinclair’s house, on Forty-fifth street. Many affecting scenes took place there during the morning. Mr, Greeley’s daughters were inconsolable in their grief. The corpse was borne by ten men; next came the chief mourners, then the Tribune Association, and next the Herald Club. Following the corpse, the mourners, and the Tribune and Herald Associations, came in succession the military and civil officers, according to the programme. The church had been appropriately decorated. Over the door in front hung a flag draped up with black. In the vestibule was a portrait of Greeley with crape around the frame. The screen behind the pnlpit was covered with black cloth, hanging in graceful folds and relieved by festoons, while from the top of it depended graceful strings of smilax. The puipit itself and rail in front were gracefully draped. Drapery ran around the front of the galleries, and from bracket to bracket along the side walls. Lengths of serge drooped from the. center of the ceiling to the spring of each arch, twined about columns, ana hung from the pinnacles of the organ. The clock, stopped at ten minutes before 7, the iiour of Greeley’s death, was surrounded with black, and above it, in a green wreath, was a white cross of flowers. The pew Mr. Greeley used to occupy, about midway of the north aisle, next the wall, wafe draped with crape. The figure in flowers of a lyre with broken strings, hung at the head. The seat was thickly strewn with white-flowers, camellias being placed in the spot which Greeley hip self used to occupy. This pew will be feft empty for thirty days. The most remarkable decorations of the church, however, were the : flowers. There was a beautiful appropriateness and personal significance in many of the devices which surrounded his bier. At the back of the pulpit, under the words: “ It is done,’’ w ith which his great life closed, was a wreath of ripened wheat, a fit emblem of the rich harvest the keen sickle of Death had so lately reaped. Relow this wad a shield of white flowers, with the arms of the State of New York in purple blossoms, the gift of the Common Council. Still below the last, an ax and a pen were arranged in the form of a cross. A magnificent arch of white flowers, presented by the ladies of Dr. Chapin's congregation, spannedthe pulpit over "the speaker’s, head. On its white ground was wrought iu crimson blossoms the legend “1 Know that My Redeemer Liveth.” Indeed, these words and the “It is done,” were repeated again and again in decorations, iu all sorts of devices. _ At the right of the pulpit stood another gift from the Common Council, a large stand, of which the whole top was composed of the choicest flowers, rosebuds and camellias, and tuberoses, surmounted by a crown wrought from the same lovely blossoms. ,A similar stand and mown was the gift of Mayor Hall, and another came from the Lincoln Club. The Lotos, the Union League, and the Jerald clubs were represented by appropriate offerings. From the German Greeley and Brown Club came an immense quill, wrought in the choicest flowers. One of the most remarkable of • the tributes was a plow composed of camellias and white roses, with a groundwork of violets and other modest blossoms. This beautiful design was the gift of the TW&wms-employes, Among the most conspicuous offerings was a magnificent floral tablet, three and a half feet wide, standing about six feet from the floor, and presenting the appearance of a picture, supported by columns, of which the frame consisted of violets and tea rosebuds. The ground of the tablet was formed of choicest white flowers, inscribed at the top with the words, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” Off the reverse were the leiters “11. G.,” and the motto,. “In memoriam.” The inscriptions were in red flowers. This tablet was presented by the “Tribune Association.” About the coffin itself were arranged gifts of the choicest kind from personal friends. The air was full of the sweet breath flowers. They Were thick under the foot which trod so reverently as they bore him avfoy. They tilled every available Bpace with their beauty. ■ Among the significant emblems displayed at the funeral was a simple wreath of dry leaves, with violets intertwined, sent by IVhitelaw Reid to the Misses Greeley, with a brief expression of sympathy. The Misses Greeley with their own hands bound the wreath about the coffin of their father, as from one who to the last had his confidence and love. Thurlow Weed was a pall-bearer, at his own request. Dudley S. Gregory, also a pall-bearer, was the man who loaned Mr. Greeley the thousand dollars with which he started the Tribune. At twenty minutes past eleven o’clock the procession entered the church. The solemnity of the scene was most impressive. The stillness was such tlr.it it seemed as though the people in the’ church scarcely breathed. Prominent among those who slowly wound their way up the central aisle were Thurlow Weed, William M. Evarts, Mayor Hal), with the present Postmaster-General Creswell, General Dix, ex-Govemor Morgan, General Sheridan, Governor Randolph, of New Jersey, and a. Committee from the Union League Club. Rev. Dr. Chapin opened the ceremonies by reading an appropriate selection from the Scriptures. Miss ClarA Louise Kellogg next sang, very touchingly, “I Know that My Redeemer Liveth, ’’ after which Henry Ward Beecher delivered the fuaeral oration, speaking substantially as follows: When men have filled the household of God with their presence, it is not surprising that we miss them, when they leave us forever, and yet they are coustantlv, like in the present case, going from us, and others are being called upon by meaas of heavenly impulse to take their places in the great cause of God’s truth. The occasion, my friends, is S solemn and sublime one, and we forget the strife and contest of the world, that strife that separated -us politically in the affairs of the nation; and I Join in this meeting to weep over the remains of him who is now iu our presence, soon to be taken from us, but whose memory shall live forever in the annals of his country. Who is this man whom we are here to-day to commemorate? For thirty years he has filled the land .with the greatest controversy. He was a man of war, snd yet he died without civic honors, a private citizen. And yet we honor him, one and all. The President of the United States and his'officers are here, and bow in silence to the will of God in taking from us our great brother. A little time ago, and we were In the midst of' a fierce battle, with thegre«t dead the leader of one tide, and yet he

now lie* lifeless before as. It U because the man was something more than a professional good and noble that be ‘ had few compeers. It is tor these reasons that we assemble here to monrn the loss of Horace Greelev. For thirty years be Dullt for himself no outward monument, no estate; but here to-day,-between the oceans, there is not a man who has not felt the effects of the labors of Horace Greeley. What matters It that, in the conflict over political economy, he should be upon'one side and you on another? I say it Is enough that he has given his lifeblood’for the good and to the purposes of nobler manhood. To-day we are ail speaking kindly and sorrowfully for him. Think of those conflicts In which you forgot humanity, out of which you have come, and summon yonr charity now, you that have been battling on the other side. After a long and tempestuous voyage, he has, reached shore, and angels will welcome him to their outstretched arqjs. Let us hope that, when we die, angel! will open the gates.for us to the glory of the Lord. After the address of Mr. Beecher, which continued -but a few moments, “Sleep the Last Sleep” was rendered in a beautiful manner bv a quartette from St. Francis Xavier’s Church. The Rev. E. H. Chapin then spoke as follows: One month ago, many who are now present met in this place to express our sympathy with one Who sat with pallid face and quivering lips, a heart-stricken mourner over his wife. To day, as in the freshness of his quiet sorrow himself, he is to lie by her side. The shadow of death through which he was then passing has enveloped him. Such is Providence, that checks all human operations, and makes life a continual surprise. I cannot attempt here to now unfold ihe life or estimate the worth of Horace Greeley. Such an attempt would on one hand be premature, and on the other unnecessary. Premature because the traitß and lessons of a great life can but be reviewed when the grief and excitement have ceased. This work ought to be done, and I trust will be done, in the utterance of Sonic public memorial service, which will demand and receive a much wider hearing than I can give it. To speak of Horace Greeley’s worth is unnecessary; it has already been done. There have been hut few instances in our [history where expressions of regret and regard have been so spontaneous, so universal, and so similar. These eulogies that pour in so thick and fast from every part of the land are not made up of artincial rhetoric. Tney are genuine. The tears are as freely shed to-day,by country firesides and in distant cities, as beneath the shadowing drapery of this house, from which he is soon to go out forever. They represent no invisible sympathy, but repre-sent-thepeopie’s thought, and are twined abgut the people’s heart, bearing witness to a career of honest purpose. And why tliis reverential regard for the memory of Mr. Greeley ? It is not for his mere intellectual ability, large and undeniable as it was. It was not because In- was an high official, for Horace Greeley held no official Station. The will of the people expressed through the Electoral College today decides that he should hold no sUch station. To-day the will of God elects him to a place from w-hich all human ones look small and dim. Why is it, then? It is the magnetism of simple goodness. Mr. Greeley’s heart was as large as his brain. His love for humanity was inherent. lie touched all sides of humanity, so to speak. The hundreds of poor toil-worn men, who pressed through the crowd to take a last look at that worn countenance, were moved by no mere curiosity. They came there not to gaze upon the face of the great journalist Or politician, but because he had always been the poor man’s f riend, the sympathetic companion of the workingmen, who had struggled through their experiences and never forgot their claims. All his puhlic acts were directed by the same impulses, and it enlistedhim in the service of very many causes. Not only did it inspire his life-long war with oppression, vice, and wickedness of every kind, but it made him unspeakably generous. Perhaps he errt!d on the side of mercy against justice, but if a man must err at all that is a good side to err on. Whatever may have been the mistakes of him who lies dead before ns, there was no mistake in the main current of the principles which characterized his life, and therein is a lesson for us also. How faithfully he did his work and led liis life, it is superfluous jfor me to say. It w-as an eminently practical one. What various interests of art, of labor, of education, of temperance, of domestic policy, of freedom, go mourning for him to-day Wielding the mighty power of the mightiest engine of the times, placed in tire editorial chair that he was, it is up light thing to say that however strongly some may think that severely he used his pen as an instrument of his thoughts aud principles, he never debased it as a stimulus Of ifnpurity, or made it the vehicle of a single social wrong. While Horace Greeley 'had made many antagonists, he had few, if any, enemies. And s’hiuy I not, without violating any of the proprieties of this occasion, express my satisfaction that, while political differences lay scaled within these enclosed lids, the highest representative of the nation to-day hare bows his head in honor of the thinker, the worker, the patriot, and man. (Attempted applause, which was suppressed,) The address was followed by earliest prayer, and another hymn, “Angels Ever Bright and Fair.” The Rev. Mr. Chapin then pronounced the benediction, and the choir sung a most beautiful and towelling chant, “O, what is life?” after which the procession moved down Fifth avenue, the -police having previously cleared the roadway .from curb to curb. _No music was in the line. The procession, as it slowly moved down the avenue, presented a magnificently imposing appearance. V, . The door-steps of all the houses along the .avenue, without exception, were thickly crowded. The windows and balconies were full, aEd the hotels, clubhouses, and public buildings of all kinds presented a sea of human faces. The gathering was greater than the multitude which welcomed the Grand Duke Alexis, or watched the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. From Dr. Chapin’s Church to 51 ad iso n Square, a distance of just a mile, the avenue was nearly blockaded. On. the outer edge of the sidewalk the crowd was huddled two and three deep, and on the walk within there was barely room to pass. In Madison Square and on the space before the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the concourse was still greater. All along Broadway, from Fourteenth street, through which the procession moved, to Hamilton Ferry, there was g dense mass of people; About .Rowling Green, the. Battery, and the ferry-house, the crowd stood patiently waiting. On the Brooklyn side, the same, scenes were repeated. Along Union street to Fourth avehue, and down the avenue to. the cemeteiiy, stretched the wonderful double lines of watchers. At Greenwood there was a still more surprising sight. Here an enormous concourse had gathered, standing about the entrance gates, and fringing the winding roads, and coneentrating abottt theopon grave, so that ; the mourners, when they arri ved, had the greatest difficulty in following .the hearae.l ,About one hundred and twenty : carriages followed the remains to Greenwood. The body was deposited in Mr. Greeley’s lot. There were no ceremonies .of any kind further than laying the body in its last'resting place. BEsnjEsdts expected acquisitions from Alsace and Loraroe. Virginia is now anticipating and making preparations for a heavy English emigration when the season opens. It is stated that large numbers of the most respectable English families of ] the middle class are making arrangements < to colonize in |he eastern portion of the j State, near tide water, provided thev ! can be secured the purchase of lanffs ini large tracts. The Legislature is to be in- \ yoked to send all the necessary information possible with regard to the resources 1 of the State to encourage this emigrating sentiment. —The galvanic battery is recommended ! by some English journals as a mode of punishing criminals’. 1 - '

President Grant and the Late Mr Greeley.

[From the New York Evening Post. ) The following “open letter,” addressed to President Grant by one -who was among his most determined antagonists during the late canvass, confirms what the Evening Post has already said about the kindly feelings which have succeeded the mournful occasion to which it re : lates: “To the FresiduntTsf the United States: ‘ ‘9tR: 1 trust that I shall not be charged with presumption in addressing you on the subject of this letter. I want to thank you, not for any favor bestowed on my friends, nr shown to me. Thanks for such things are- as common ab the benefits they conftr. I desire to thank yoti for something greater and betterthan these; for something much beyond the ordinary practice of high official life. I desire to thank you for the respect shown by yon to Mr. Greeley on his death bed, and for the great respect yoti paid his character and memory by your aUenditfk m, on his funeral.. It was a great compliment for-thehcad of a great nation to decline attendance on an official festivity, while a private citizen was dying, a citizen who hat) no .claims on the sympathy of the official,'either of blood or close friendship. It was a iffugh greater compliment when that Executive i laid aside the pressing duties of his great i office, and, making a night journey ol hun- 1 dreds of miles, at an inclement season, took , the place of a private person, gmong the ; thousands gathered together to pay the, last J, tribute of respect that the living can pay tot the dcaff. For your remembrance of Mr. Gree,ley,dying; for your attendance at his funeral, for the tearful attention you paid to the sad ceremonies of that occasion, Mr. President,

I thank yon with all earnestness. I am very sure that'in doing sol but echo the sentiments Of hundreds of thousands of vour fellow citizens, whose views of public affaire led them and myself to support, in the late canvass, the mkn to whom yon have shown such high respect. By these acts Jou have removed prejudices, changed opponents into friends, and shown the world that great official life need not deaden the better instincts of onr common humanity. By these acts.you have taught the nations that Ameri - cans neVer forget what is due to the character of their great citizens, and that the passions of an exciting political contest never destroy the respect that American partisan opponents have for the good lives of good men, “I thank you, Mr. President, and pray that a long and happy life may await you. And when it shall please the Great Ruler to send the Angel of Death to call you hence, may your passage to the tomb be made smooth by the affection of kind friends, and thetgrave close over you with the heartfelt prayers.of your countrymen for your eternal rest.- -* V ‘Very respectinllv vour mend. ~v ■ ,N.D,V~.,“Sinclair Tousey. “New York, Dec. 8.1872.” ' 11 Our Imprudence the Cause of Consumption.—How many of us can date the cause of our last-sickness to either a crowded room, and then coming out in a cold air, or wearing damp clothes, causing a cough which settles upon the lungs, producing seated pains in the chest.

The New York Weekly Tribune Agriculturally Considered.

JLhe. Weekly. Tribune, now more than thirty years old, lias kept up with the progress of the age in improvement and in enterprise. It devotes a large share of its columns to Agriculture, as the most essential and general of human pursuits. It employs the ablest and -most successful cultivators 1o set forth in brief, clear essays, their practical views of the Farmer’s work. It reports public discussions which elucidate that work; gathers from every source agricultural news, the reports of the latest experiments, the stories of tlie latest successes .and. failures; and wljatevei may tend, at once to better Agrito coinmend it as the first and most important of progressive Arts, based on natural science. Xhyru are hundreds of thousands engaged Iff” diverse pursuits who own or pent a ‘place,” and give some portion of their tiriie ta Hs culture and improvement. The Weekly - Tribune shows them how to make the most of their roods and tbeirhours, both by direction and example. No information equal in quality or quantity can be elsewhere obtained for the price of this journal. The Weekly Tribune appeals also to Teachers, Students, and persons of inquiring minds, by the character of its Literary contents, which include reviews of all the works proceeding from the master minds of the Old or of the New World, with liberal extracts from those of especial interest. Imaginative Literature also claims attention, lull in a subordinate degree. “Home Interests” are discussed weekly, by a lady specially qualified to instruct and interest her own sex, and the younger portion of the other. No column is more eagerly sought or perused with greater average profit than hers. The News of the Day, elucidated by brief comments, is so condensed that no reader can deem if diffuse, while given sufficiently m detail to satisfy the wants of the . average reader. Selections - tire regularly made from the extensive Correspondence of The Pally Tribune from every country, and its editorials' of more permanent value are liere- reproduced. In short, The Weekly Tribune commends itself to Millions by ministering to their intellectual wants more fully than they are met by any other journal, whie its regular reports of the Cattle, Country Produce, and other Markets, will of themselves save the farmer who regularly notes them far more than his journal’s price.

Why Endure What Is Curable.

“What can’t be cured muit be endured," Bays the proverb: but Indigestion can be.cureii, and therefore "ft li“the aereit atnplHlty So"eßdure"TC ‘ have, certainly a right to continue dyspeptics to the end of their days If they chqose, but as It Is not supposed that any rational being prefers physical torment to ease and health, the probability Is that If all sufferers from Indigestion were convinced that an absolute, Infallible remedy for their complaint existed, they would with one accord resort-to It, We most emphatically declare that such a remedy docs exist, and that It s name is Hostottefs Stomach T!lliers..,Tlie record of Its success extends ovef a period of more than twenty years, and It Is fearlessly alleged that during the whole of that time It has never failed to afford permanent relief In any disorder or derangement of the stomach that was not organic, malignant, and Incurable. The testimonials that go to establish, this Important fact can be counted by the thousand. Stomach complaints that had been aggravated by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and Intensified and rendered chronic by medicinal treatment or drastic purgation, have Ist hundreds of lastances been cured within three months by the systematic use of this celebrated stomachic and alterative. It should be remembered that weakness of the digestive organs Involves many other ailments. Biliousness,i headache, nervous debility, spasms, palpitation of the heart, rush of blood to the head, 1 nausea, vertigo, and sleep lessness are among Its concomitants and results; and for all these the great vegetable tonic Is a specific. It acts first upon the stomach, anththrough the stomach upon the secretory and Aervpiis-sStstems and the bowels, Its general effect being always goulul and her. ne'fleeut. , .

A Glorious Decoru.—Twelve years ago a few modest lines in. a New York journal invited public attwntipu to a new Vegetable Restorative, and solicited a trial of its merits as a remedy for indigestion, biliousness, fever and ague, debility, nervous disorders, rheumatism, and all complaints requiring invigorating and regulating treatment. In this quiet, unpretentious way, Plantation Hitters was introduced to the world; It was a success from the beginning. All that was claimed for it as a tonic, a corrective and antidote to malarious fever, was found to be strictly true. Within the annual salesof this article amounted to over One Million of Hotmore and the demand had to .jive million*. The annual consumption of the hitters has now reached the almost incredible aggregate of six millions of bottles, and for everv biittle sold a copy of the Illustrated Medical Annual, published by the proprietors, at a cost of $150,000, is given away, Crist At)OBO ? s Excelsior Hair Dye Is the Ittost sure and complete preparation of its kind in the world; its effects are magical,.
