HENRY W. GRADY,
At 3:40 o'clock Monday morning, at
his home in Atlanta, Ga., the spirit
of Henry Woodfin Grady took its
flight from earth. A nobler man, one
controlled by more generous impulses,
with heart more golden, never lived!
But a few days since it seems that the
young boy first caught the attention of
the people. He grew in their esteem.
He was true to their interests. He wits
faithful to his friends. He had an ear for
tides of woe. He had a heart for the
poor.
Such a man as Ilcnry Grady is seldom
given to the world. In the hour of his
triumph he the is stricken of down. his Returning
ft victor to bosom people, lie
sinks in death, while in his ears ring the
plaudits of an admiring, loving and de¬
voted people.
The sceues at the home during the last
hours were mort pathetic. It was shortly
after eleven o’clock that Dr. Everett flii-
nounced that that Mr. Grady Was sinking rap¬
idly and the end was near. Then it
Was that all the numbers of the family
and relatives gathered about the sickbed’
hoping against hope, yet praying that the
cup might be taken from them. Friends
who house had, at the doctor's suggestion, left
the a few hours before', were hastily
summoned. Among those who came
were: Captain E. 1*. Howell, Mr. W. A.
Hemphill, Mr. 8. M. Inman, Mayor
Glenn, Judge Newman, Major Kiser,
Mr. Captain ,T. R. Wvlie, Mr. W. B. Lowe,
W. L. Peel, Mr. T. I). Meador, Mr.
Donald Bain and others. It was Mrs.
Grady's wish that those who loved him be
permitted remained; to take a last look Upon his face
while life and one after another,
those \vho had loved him with a love
that was exceeded only by that of the
nearest and dearest, stepped into the sick
room which was so soon to be the cham¬
ber of death. Gradually his condition
grew worse until death came.
Late Sunday evening, when it became
known that the end was only a question
of a few hours at the most, the expres¬
sions of sorrow became universal among
the groups gathered in public places as
well as among those who had gone to the
special meetings for prayer of the various
churches. About the hotel corridors sor¬
row man’s was condition expressed by all known. to whom Men the who sick
was
had but heard his fame, and who were
utter strangers to his wonderful personal¬
ity, mingled their regrets and admiration
with the anxious words and love of those
whose neighbor he had been, and whose
band he had often grasped in friendship.
Sorrow and solicitude reigned in all the
city. As Mr. Grady grew worse inquiries
after his condition grew more frequent.
In a church vestibule a minister was seen
to stand at the entrance, stopping each
that came to ask of them the most recent
news from the sick chamber. Neighbor
inquired bed-time of neighbor, aud from early
morn till Sunday night anxious
tongues spoke anxious words of inquiry
for him whose life their hearts were praying
Thtre exchange was a constant inquiry at the tel¬
ephone all through the long,
lonely watches of the night. As the
replies grew more anxious, voices faltered
in calling the numbers, and compelled when at last
the night operators were to
give the sad intelligence that there was
no hope, sounds of weeping could be
heard over the wires.
This time one year ago he was busied
ju getting up a grand dinner for the little
ragged and tattered five hundred news¬
boys who sold Constitutions on the streets.
During the night the little fellows stood
on the street corners in the bleak night
wind, and with Grady?" chattering teeth asked:

MIL GKADYS LIFE.
Hon. Henry Woodfin Grady was born
in Athens. Ga.. in 1851. During his boy¬
hood he enjoyed the best educational ad¬
vantages. but the four years of the civil
war seriously interrupted his studies, visiting and
much of his time was spent in
the various points where his father. Col.
Grady, was stationed with his regiment.
When peace came it found the lad father¬
less, Colonel Grady having fallen in battle
while leading his men in a dtsperate
charge. Young Grady found that he had
no time to lose in equipping himself for
kis career. After graduating at the State
university inia, he went to the university
of Yir* where he took a
post graduate course. He was, during
nis term at each of these institutions, the
youngest student in attendance, He
studied lect diligently what suited his intel¬
best, and paid little attention to
branches in which he felt no interest.
History, belles-letters, Anglo Saxon at¬
tracted him, and his standing was very
high in all of these. His pen transferred
rapidity, ringing and his ready, magnet]^ and
him style of speaking soon won for
the name of the “silver-tongued
orator.’’ In the literary societies of the
two universities he carried off the highest
honors as a sjicaker.
While still a student he wrote a letter
to the Atlanta Constitution. It was
printed, ami the editor was so mtieh struck
with the sparkle and dash of the com¬
hear munication from that he signified his desire to
the writer again. When the
first press excursion after the war was
tendered a ride over the State road, the
editor telegraphed his boyish correspond¬
ent, who had then returned to his home
in Athens, that he wished to have him
represent the Constitution on that trip, and
write up the country and its resources
along the line of the road. Mr. Grady
accepted dreds the commission, and of the hun¬
of letters written on the occasion,
his, over the signature of “King Hans,”
were the most popular alid most widely
copied. It is quite likely that this pleas¬
ant of experience caused this precocious boy
seventeen to turn his thoughts seriously
to journalism. At all events, he was, a
year or two later, the editor and one of
the owners of the Home Daily Commercial ,
a sprightly, newsy and enterprising jour¬
nal. Home, however, was at that time to
small to support a daily run on such a
scale, and in 1872 Mr. Grady purchased
an interest in the Atlanta llerald. Here
he found a field wide enough for him at
that stage of his experience.
The Herald was one of the most bril¬
liant newspapers ever printed in the
South. The young editor from Home,
w ho had established himself in Atlanta to
compete with the older journalists who
vere with conducting the Constitution , started
out audacious pluck, and proved
himself to be so fertile in resources and
expedients that his esteemed contempo¬
rary recognized rival the fact that it had a
strong day to fight. The Herald's Sun¬
editions and trade issues were the
marvels of that day. After the sharpest
competition with the Constitution in ever
known between any two papers the
South it disappeared from the field. By
this tihie its editor’s abilities had made
him many friends abroad as well as at
home, and James Gordon Bennett at
once made him the Southern correspond¬
ent of the New York Herald. On this
great journal Mr. Grady did some of the
best work of his life. In 1880 he purchased
a fourth interest in the Constitution ,
taking the position of managing editor,
which he held at the time of his death.
Of his work in this position, Colonel
Avery, in his History of Georgia, says:
‘•Mr. Grady’s flashing and inimitable
sketches, editorials aha articles gives an
unremitting sparkle to the paper, His
sider contemporaries on the journal will con¬
it no derogation to their high claims
to say that Mr. Grady is the genius of
this *
powerful paper. There is a vivid¬
ness, an audacity and a velvety splendor
about his articles that are peculiar to him¬
self, that no other man has approximated.”
Mr. Grady's interest in state politics
was such as to attract toward him the at¬
tention of the republic. Ilis editorials
in the- Constitution were quoted in every
section; demands upon him for speeches
came from Texas to Maine, and every
word he wrote, and every word he spoke,
but added to his roundihg faint. His
speech at the New England dinner, two
years ago, was a revelation. It aroused
such an interest, and a friendly interest,
too, in the north regarding the south,that
its delivery has become epochal. Spoken
with all proper boldness, and with sincer¬
ity welling up from the heart, it disarmed
criticism and invited friendship. Fol¬
lowing this came Mr. Grady’s great Texas
speech, one year ago, in which he spoke
of the white and colored people of the
south. While claiming Anglo Saxon su¬
periority as final and definite, he spoke
also for the humane and Christian treat¬
ment of the colored people. During the
same year he addressed the visiting
legislators of South Carolina aud
Georgia at the Augusta exposition.
The last great days speech which he
delivered—but a few ago in Boston—
was the crowning event of his life. Such
an occasion, such an audience, such an
orator, seldom meet. The w’ords spoken
there have not died away before the sad
intelligence follows that the gifted
is stricken unto death.
THE ILLNESS.
When he left Atlanta to go to Boston
he was threatened with pneumonia—he
went, in fact, under the protest of his
physician. “To stay now,” he replied to
liis physician's objection on the eve of
starting, “is out of the question.”
After the Thursday night speech in
Boston he contracted a new cold from ex¬
posure. The visit to Plymouth Rock was
unfortunate in this respect. Mr. Grady
stood for some time in the raw atmos¬
phere with his head with uncovered. Friday
night he was seized a chill, and for
the first time seems to have realized that
his health was in a critical condition.
In New York he was treated by Dr.
Goldthwaite. Before the party started
homeward, Mr. Grady was assured that
all danger of pneumonia was past, and
that it would be entirely safe to return
home at once.
AN IMPORTANT RULING.
A GEORGIA JUDGE DECLARES SUN-TIME
THE STANDARD OF THE COURTS.
The supreme court at Atlanta, Ga., on
Monday, decided two important questions
which arose in a case brought up from
Cobb county, Ga. The jury on the case
were night charged shortly before 12 Saturday
by railroad time, and though they
had an hour to deliberate by sun time, the
Judge in verdict told them that unless they brought
a before midnight, by railroad
time, they would be placed in the hands
ot ihe sheriff until the following Monday,
and would be obliged to furnish refresh¬
ments at their own expense. The supreme
court judge reversed the decision of the
lower court, and decided that railroad
time is not recognized by law as a stand¬
ard guide to the courts, and in the ad¬
ministration of the law or to the public,
in the performance of duties under the
law, sun time must be considered only.
He also decided that the verdict of a jury
can be received on Sunday when a case is
concluded and the jury charged before
midnight, and hold that it is compatible
with law, morals and common sense to
receive the verdict whenever it is reached.

to many otherwise colorless, sombre,

pattern with apple blossoms, or a picture
of autumn may be hung with a scarf of
blue and white Chinese crape in a pattern
of bamboo or rice branches, with wild
flowers and birds, or such material as
may be found in Chinese stores. A white
crape printed with a graceful flight of

such drapery will be valuable and where

APPLE BUTTER.
This old-fashioned and wholesome pre¬
serve, or sauce, is still made on some
farms and its preparation is a part of the
regular farm work in autumn. The first
step in its preparation is to evaporate 01
boil down a quantity of sweet cider;
hence it is often called “cider apple
sauce.” If there is a large cauldron or
set kettle, as there is on many farms,
that may be used; otherwise, one 01
mere largo kettles are provided with
proper support, so that a fire may be
made under them. There will be much
stirring to be done, and long wooden
stirrers should be provided. A barrel ol
cider is boiled down to eight gallons.
While the cider is being boiled the ap¬
ples are prepared. Formerly this was
done by “paring-bees,” at which the
neighbors assisted. Now, there are nu¬
merous apple-parers, some of which not
only pare, but core and quarter the ap¬
ples, and do the work very expeditious¬
ly. The apples should be sweet ones; of
a kind that will cook tender. From
two-and-a-half to three bushels are re¬
quired for each barrel of cider. The
cider being first evaporared, the apples
are added, and the whole boiled togeth¬
er until it becomes jelly-like. At this
time there is danger of scorching, and it
must be stirred continually. Some
makers, when the sauce is done, add to
it cinnamon and allspice, but the major¬
ity prefer it without the spices. While
still hot, the sauce is transferred to kegs
or other wooden vessels, or jars of stone¬
ware are used. When well made, the
sauce keeps a long-time.— American Agri¬
culturist.
