The wires of the great metropolis have been employed t he last week in publishing to the world the death of Horace _(lrcehs\ thej^reutcst of Ameriean journalists. That ! heart must, indeed, be as hard as adamant i *' ^L "'n * ^ : that has not received, with emotions of nn^Ttfigfxfd' jorTow," tji'e tidings of the death of I ?t!o ..t nl.ti, ni.ui vulif, li.Oi fill' t.liirtu years exerted an inlliicnee iclfc to tlic most sot mote corners of our broad realm. The circumstances of the death of Air. (Irceloy his 'haying -been brought so prominently before the political world, as the leader of a great party in the,campaign jnst ended, and his having, departed from the pains, responsibility and glory of bis eventful life, at a ppriod so nearly succeeding that of his defeat at the ballet-box?all unite to increase the almost universality of the grief experienced by the event of his death.. Hut a few short months ago, James fjordon Dennett left forever a country, impoverished by his death, and now, (.Ircelcy too. has gone, leaving a place which can nevet h? filled again. It is hard, indeed, to rcalix. Iiv fact that the politician whose name stood so prominently in thousno otnn/lowl linn ! /?? f%p UIIUD Ui JUUlilUl^j ao tuv nuiiiuutu wviuvt v? the great Liberal l^arty, and whose jmniscs and virtues were sung by so many, is' now insensible, alike to the plaudits of an aduii j ring country, and to the calumnies heaped upon him by unprincipled and unfeeling foes* I Horace Greeley, the son of Zaccheus (JrecJ ley, was born at Amherst, N. 11., February j 3, 1811. rii his earliest years he evinced a great propensity for study, and soon read all the bookfc attainable in his neighborhood. At an early period of his life he entered the the printing office of the Northern Spectator, published at Kast Poultney, Yt., as a print [ or, where he remained l'roin 1S2<> to 1830. I For a short tiuie after this, lie traveled as a j journeyman printer, ami then went to New j York, where, in co-partnership with another, | he published the first penny paper in the I world. Shortly subsequently, he gave his j time and labor to the editing and publishing j of the New York<*>\ which failed in a few I years. _ About the year 1810 31 r. Greeley's great career as an editor commenced. About this time he contributed to the Lor/ L'uLih. | a weekly journal, established to promote the j election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidenj c.y, then having a very wide circulation. In ! the earliest years of his manhood. Mr. Groe| ley's knowledge of political statistics and of I party movements and their leaders, made i him an oracle, on 'such subjects. In 1811 he issued the New Vork lhrii;/ Trif/nur, with which' he lias always been identified. The first issue appeaVod April 10. KGl, and in flu; following aultuiin lie published ibo )R#7.-Ay Tribune. Mr. Greeley -:?flirme<l tli.i1 lie was more proud of the appellation of the founder of the Trihunr than of any other name could be given him. and to it he owes lii.s reputation. It now numbers thousands and thousands of subscribers, and the marked ability of Mr. Greeley's editorials, with its dignified, chaste literature, has made it a mighty power in the land. The leading paper in America, it is also the greatest journal of the day. When the administration of the affairs of State was placed ine hands of the Republican Party, the Tribune was its organ, and. through its columns Mr. Greeley combined and consolidated the elements first known under the name of the Republican Party. Mr. Greeley was married, in 1S3G. to Miss Cheney, of Warren ton, N. ('. lie was very happy in his social relations, as remarkable concord and unity existed between husband and wife, and'the death of the latter but a few weeks since, brought down the ( gray hairs of the old man in sorrow to the . grave. ]n 1848 Mr. Greeley was elected to till a vacant term in Congress, and while then he raised his voice against the abases of the . mileage system,"and devoted his powers oi mind and body to the laborer and bondsmen 31 r. Greeley's religious creed was that o . the Unitarian Restoration ists, who bclicvi ! that the soul, when separated from the body I :iffiilrm nf once its full hnnnincss. and tha ! those who have lived lives of wickedness imis undergo discipline before au entrance i J given lo the abode bf the good, j' Mr llrceloy's character was one of n n j markablu purity, and free from anything u l" j a vicious or corrupting" nature. IIis tempo ! wat, quick and irascible, and his bitterness i i i * ( ^ opposition to anything hostile to his idot and views was marked as a trait of his ciia: acter, as his great eccentricity, for the sak j of which, those who knew him. overlooket j Sonic things apparently very faulty, whic he did. and some expressions full of apparei j narrow-mindedness and bigotry. All wet aware that behind those eccentricities tliei lay a rich, broad mine of worth, which nfle find vent ta the astonishment of those n< j knowing him intimately. His many friom ! sbips were based exclusively upon truo worfli! in ess which liisgrc.it discernment of character could readily descry. Tu private relations lie was, with pprfeet satisfaction to all, trustI ed implicitly, and in public affairs his in| flitoncc and offices could safely bo rolied upon in any and every emergency, [lis espousal of sentiments and doetrincs'so much opposed to the South, prior to (iic great struggle, with his characlcvietie decision and siuccri! ty, lnadeliim a Foe to every Southerner, and I though he stood, so. high .and prominent j amuiig la? opponents at a later period, -he was at (irmly convinced of the justice and rectitude of the doctrine of ihose, vim hold that the disaffected Slates, of the l njon should be granted'fill I permission to settle difficulties by secession. \ The war being ended,-the doclrines-of the i abolitionists being triumphant, and all of Mr. Greeley's pet schemes having prospered, he laid aside .-ill prejudice arid hatred,.and through" the' c'oluuiHs of his great- journal, j in the face of'the most malignant opposition, j his voice-was-heard in behalf of the restbraj tion of peace between the Ndrth and thg South. Fie evinced 'the sincerity of his sentiments in the most pointed and conspicuous manner, b} enrolling.his name upon the bond for the release of President ])u: vis. the representative of the lmantccd Lost Cause; and Horace Greeley was, without doubt, the father of the Liberal Party. Writing to a friend in .June last, lie says "I have all'my life been dojjig what pfeople call vastly fooli.-li and impolitic tilings, and i I do not dispute their judgment. I only said that what I did seemed tc me to be the right j thing. If I should die before the election, J or be beaten therein, ptensc testily tor me. j that I do not regret having braved public opinion when L thought it wrong, and knew it to be merciless." The labor and excitement, and resulting j disappointment of the late campaign eontri1 bated doubtlessly, towards bringing to an I end bis lite,-butdomestic troubles, deranged | his mind and wasted his body, and lie be! came a victim of melancholia, a most incu! rable form of dementia. About 8 o'clock on' fho morning of Friday, the 20th. at the residence of Dr. tlco. I Clioate, near Pleasantville. Now York, Ilor' ace Greeley, tiie great, journalist of life| long celebrity, heaved the last sigh of hi:| man existence, and terminated a life offamc | which, before him, no journalist has 'ever j won. "Wednesday, Nov. 4lh, was the day api pointed for the public consignment of his | mortal remains to their final resting place. J The Church of tie- Divine Paternity of .V. Y. j was elaborately draped in mourning, and thither thousands, among them the 1'rosidct.t1 a land his Cabinet, assembled to pay the last ! i tribute of respect in the great New Yorker. | llepreseiifafivos from various large cities in ! j the vicinity were present. .Miss Louisa i Kellogg, the great American vocalist, sang an appropriate piece of music entitled " I i know that my llodcomcr livctli," and the j stillness and hushed reverence wore sucli. . dial il sc?'Tihm1 as il' the assembled thousands j .scarcely breathed. I ITenry Ward Moodier and the pastor. I?ev* j Mr. f'liapin, each in turn, made addresses. ' The procession formed immediately after the close of the services,about 1. IA M.. but owing to the crowd, it did not move until 2. The enemy as well as the friend, the merchant. physician, lawyer and legislator, al came to pronounce the long, sad word? adieu, and drop a tear over the grave of I Lorace (Jrecley. As long as journalism is a power in the ' land, his name will stand high upon the i records of the American illustrious. .In Mr. n-ttn it i< iirp.oininoiit 1 v noticeable " I" ~ y "" that energy. )>atioiiec and integrity have had ,'i rich reward, and the youth of our laud 1 should make it their aim to cultivate those lofty trails, that when death removes them ! from their labors here, they may till an admiring realm with deep-felt sorrow. ' Pr.izE-FiGim.Nu in tiiv, Fast?a 1'kf! K.M.O AM) A TlGKIl Co.MKAT.?A c.r.ris: poudent of the London Standard writing E* from ITong Kong, on October 12, describing one of the entertainments supplied by the Maharajah of Singapore to the Oram! Duke Alexis, in honor ul the visit of the lal2 ter to the island. He says: "After luncheon , the party proceeded to witness a light hcl tween a buffalo and a tiger. Those who had t never seen a combat of this kind would have been inclined to bet (rerly on the latter; but s the natives said the chances we're in favor ol the buffalo, and indeed, that the tiger was j- never known to win. The arena in which ,|- the animals vere to light was of an oval form, some fifty feet lone: by ah ?ut- twenty wide, in an enclosure of bamboo poles, liitceu feet ^ high, linniy driven into the ground and is strongly faslewed together. Similar pubs, p. laid across i'ie t?form the ruo!'. 'l in whole structure had the appearance of a gi. gautie cage. Vpl.itform built outside,enable i lie more distincrushod visitors to have a good h view of tIn! interior IVoiu a safe distant it through tlie f-jiar-o between the polos, whih q the geiua'al pr.Mie crowded round llio cag? _ as eloos as Hair respect lor the ?-ki\vs of 12i< tiger would allow.. The butV.do was coiifiiioi n In one end of die cago by a canvas curtail il stretched actvss the arena; the'tiger wascn 1- closed at the ether extremity by p des place; aci'OSS iroiil one Willi to uic uuu:r. \? ueii the fijrht was lo begin the curtains were withdrawn,,the poles were removed, and the animals were for the first time seen by the spectators; The buffalo stood for some moments at his end.of the cage, looking with little apparent interest towards his Joe. The tiger was sitting 011 his haunches., seemingly unconscious of the presence of his formidable adversary, his attention being atf racked by the crowd outside After waiting for some time, the buffalo seemed to think lie might as well make a closer inspection, -and slowly arid deliberately walked to other end. The tiger was now clear!v aware of his presence. for he turned liis.hcail over his shoulder and watched/the approach of the buffalo with evident anjricty. " IIis eye glared but he did not move.a muscle. ' r . > ' The buffalo was almost near enough to (ouch hiui with bis muzzle. But at length, and before the buffalo made any sign of attacking Jiiui, he jumped up and galloped off as fast as his legs could carry him round the cage. The buffalo followed, and jammed him against the wall with his horns. The tiger, in return, gave the buffalo one scratch on the neck and another over the eye, just as a cat might do, and then foil apparently derfcl. But his breathing betrayed, hiui; he was only, shamming. No one seemed to. understand this better than the buffalo,, who..stood close by, "and kept his eye on him, but disdained to touch hiui while'he was down. For some time t,he two animals maintained their respective positions, till at length the public began to be impatient.. They stirred up the tiger with a pole, but that was of no use; then they tried crackers, and for some time they succeeded no better. It was not till a boundlc was thrown close to the tiger's nose that he got thoroughly roused. But he had evidently'no intention of fighting. He again ran round the,cage, was again pursued by his relentless cneiny, and was severely gored, and once more sank to the ground. This process.was repeated several times, j always with the same result?the tiger would not fight the buffalo, and the buffalo could not kill the tiger. At length the men on the roof lowered <v rope with a jioose in the end. in which they caught up the tiger by on.* of his hind legs, and while lie was hanging the buffalo completely finished him. But the Grand Duke sas spared the pain of witnessing the latter part of the spectacle, as lie left when the tiger counterfeited death for the second time. The natives were right.? the tiger fights unwillingly when lie cannot surprise his enemy. But the Rajah had taken unusual pains to uiake.the combat, as equal as possible, for the tiger was a very savagcone, while the buffalo, buttw.> day? before, had been quietly drawing a cart along the road."

W'c commend it to the perusal of those wise in the mysteries of physical science : . , Kiklsvillk, Madison Co.. Kv..) November 23.1872. ) To \.Iik for of th'' /ji'biown : This morning, while riding up Silver (.'reck, about halfn mile below the depot, f witnessed a very singular meteorological phenomenon. The sky above me was cloudless, anil the sun. about half an hour high, shone with ordinary brilliancy. I had 110jtiecd for half a mile bade the occasional | falling of globular masses which resembled in size appearance round snow; and there being no wind or cloud, 1 thought it singular ami began to seek an explanation of its origin. I could sco the globules, about twenty feet from the earth, descending at an angle of limit-. Hirtv-.fivri ilr>rrr<ifi> friitn tho east, and | noticed their frequent explosion at the dis| tance often or fifteen feet from the "round, the particles scattering in every direction like a drop of water that had fallen upon a heated surface. I looked upon my clothing and found myself all spotted over with a substance of a hluish-whitc color, still liquid, and of about the consistency of milk, which it well represented, except in color. It evaporated slowly and in a few places only ! left a solid residue. What was it ? Is it to ho explained upon the hypothesis that yecounts for red and green snow in eerlaiii.rcI ginns and latitudes?
