HENRY W. OitADY.
At :> '.JO o’clock Monday morning, at
his home in Atlanta, Ga., the spirit
of Henry Woodfin Grady took its
fiiglit 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,
lie was true to their interests. He was
faithful to his friends. He had an ear for
(tiles of woe. lie lmd a heart for the
poor. Such Henry Grady is seldom
a man as
given to the world. Iu the hour of his
triumph lie is stricken down. Keturning
a victor to the bosom of liis people, lie
sinks in death, while in his ears ring the
plaudits of an admiring, loving and de
voted people. the home during the last
The scenes at
hours were most pathetic, it was shortly
alter .eleven o'clock that Dr. Everett an
nounced that Mr. Grady was sinking rap
idly and that the end was near. Then it
wait that all the menbers of the family
and relatives gathered about the sick bed,
hoping against hope, yet praying that the
cup might be taken from them. Friends
who had, at the doctor’s suggestion, hastily left
the house a few hours before, were
summoned. Among those who came
were: Captain E. P. Howell, Air. AY. A.
Hemphill, Air. S. Af. Inman, Alayor
Glenn, Judge Ti. Newman, Arajor Kiser,
Captain J. AVylie, AH. AV r . B. Lowe,
Air. AY. L. Peel, Mr. T. I). Meador, Hr.
Donald Bain and others. It was Mrs.
Grady's wish that those who loved him be
permitted to take a last look upon his face
while life remained; andoneafteranother,
those who had loved him with a love
that was exceeded only by tl.ot of the
nearest anil 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 the a question
of a few hours at the most, expres
sions of sorrow became universal among
the groups gathered those in ho public had places to'the as
well as among w gone
special meetings for prayer of the various
churches. About the hotel corridors sor
row was expressed by all to whom the sick
man's condition was known. .Men who
hail hut 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
hand tic Intel often grasped in friendship.
Sorrow -mi solicitude,reigned in all the
city. As Air. Grady grew worse inquiries
after his condition grew more frequent.
In a church vestibule a minister was seen
to stand at tin: entrance, stopping each
that came to ask of them Hie most recent
news from the sick chamber. Neighbor
inquired of neighbor, anil from early
morn till bed-time Sunday night anxious
tongues spoke anxious words or inquiry
for him whose life their hearts were praying
There was a constant inquiry at the tel
ephone exchange all through the long,
lonely watches of the night. As the
replies grew more anxious, voices faltered
in calling the numbers, and when at last
the nigiit operators were compelled to
srive the sad intelligence Unit there was
no hope, sounds of weeping could he
heard over the wires.
This time one year ago he was busied
in gMting up a grand dinner for the little
raggci i and tattered five hundred neivs
boys wlio sold (NrnstHulioms on the streets.
During the night the little fellows stood
on the street Comers in the bleak night
wind, and with chattering teeth asked:
“Hows Mr. Grady!'’ deepest
Among those who felt tne in
terest in liis condition were the printers
in the composing rooms of the Coastdu

.
gray and grizzled veterans who have been
with the paper since its firat issue. One
man who set up the first thing he ever
wrote for the pafrf-r. a letter from the
A'irginia Military In titute, away back in
;x;s. ami who has watched Ids career
with surpassing admiration and interest,
exclaimed when the last sad moment
earne: "AV”e have lost our best friend; ”
And in saying thi®, he but echoed the
sentiments of the army ol employes who
loved this man so well, not alone for his
brilliant attainments and dazzling suc
cesses, but for his generous heart and the
kindly interest lie ever showed in their
behalf and welfare.
Mil. C.RADY’8 I.IFK.
Hon. llenrv Wood (in Grady was born
in Athens, Ga., in 1851. During liis boy
hood he enjoyed the best educational ad
vantages, but the four years of the civil
war seriously interrupted liis studies, and
much of his time was spent in visiting
the various points where liis father, Col.
Gradv, was stationed with his regiment.
When peace came it found the lad father
less, Colonel Grady having fallen in battle
while leading liis men in a desperate
charge. Young Grady found that lie had
no time to lose in equipping himself for
his career. After graduating at .lie Stale
university he went to the university
of Virginia, where he took a
post graduate course, lie was, during
liis term ut eac-h of these institutions, the
youngest student in attendance. He
studied diligently what suited liis intel
lect best, and paid little attention to
branches in which lie felt no interest.
History, belles-letters, Anglo Sitxon at
tracted him, and liis standing was very
high in ali of these. His pen transrerred
his thoughts to the paper in graphic and
glow ing phases with almost lightning-like and
rapidity, and his ready, magnetic
ringing style of speaking soon won lot
him the name of the “silver-tongued
orator.” In the literary societies of the
two universities he carried oil the highest
honors ns a speaker. he wrote letter
While still a student a
to tlie Atlanta Constitution, It was
printed, and the editor was so much struck
with the sparkle and dash of the com
munication that ho signified his desire to
hear from the writer again. the When tire
first press excursion after war wut
tendered a ride over the State road, the
editor telegraphed liis boyish cor respond
ent, who had then returned to his home
in Athens, that lie wished to have him
represent the Constitution on that trip, and
write up the country and its resources
along the line of the road. 3ir. Grady
accepted the commission, and of the hun
dreds of letters written on the occasion,
liis, over the signature of “King Hans,”
were the most popular and most widely
copied. It is quite likely that this pleas
ant experience caused tiiis precocious boy
of seventeen to turn liis thouglitsseriously
to journalism. At all events, he was, a
year or two later, the editor and one of
the owners of the Home La ill/ Uomtnerrial,
a sprightly, newsy and enterprising time jour
nal. Jiome, however, was at. that to
small to support a daily run on such a
scale, and in 1872 Air. Grady pure It used
an interest in the Atlanta ILrUfl. Here
he found a field wide enough* Tor 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 Rome,
who had established himself in Atlanta to
compete with the older journalists started who
were conducting the Cinistitution ,
out with audacious pluck, and proved
himself to be so fertile in resources and
expedients that his esteemed contcmpo
rary recognized the. fact that it had a
strong rival to fight. The Ihraid's Sun
day editions and trade issues were tin*
marvels of that day. After the sharpest
eorpetition with the Constitution ever
known between any two papers in the
South it disappeared from the field. By
this time 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- this
ent of the New York Herald. On
great journal .Mr. Grady did some of the
best work of his life. In 1880 he purchased
a fourth interest in tho Constitution ,
taking the position of managing editor,
which he held at the time of his death.
Of lips work in this position. Colonel
Avery, in his History of Georgia, says:
“Mf. Grady's flashing and inimitable
sketches, editorials anil articles gives an
unremitting sparkle to the paper. His
eontemporaries on tho journal will con
sider it no derogation to their high claims
to say that Mr. Grady is the genirs of
this powerful paper. There is a vivid
ness, an audacity and a velvety splendor
about his articles that are peeuliarlohim
self, that, noothei man lias approximated politic* '
Mr. Grady's interest in state
was such as to attract toward him the at
tention of the republic. His rriitoriais
in the Constitution were ouertod 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 rounding fame. Hi-*
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

In New York lie was treated by Dr.

homeward, Mr. Gruely was assured that
ail danger of pneumonia was past, and
that it would be entirely safe to return
home at mice.
Shortly after 10 o’clock loving hands
bore the bier into the large parlor of the
beautiful home, and there many friends
looked upon the loved features which
death had left unchanged. A few min
utes before noon, Mr. Orion Frazee, the
sculptor, was permitted last to time take a mask ol
the features. The Mr. Frazer
had looked into that face wits
when Mr. Grady had arranged tc
send him to New Orleans to take a death
mask of Jefferson Davis. The mask ot
Mr. Grady is perfect, and will doubtless
be used in the erection of a monument tc
his memory. All the afternoon there was
a constant stream of callers friends w Ik
begged of the privilege loved. of looking Among into the
face the man they tin
callers who asked, and were granted this
privilege, were many prominent colored citizens
and, too, a number of men; and
there were many affecting scenes about
the bier that bore the body from which
the soul had departed.
T7]ion the announcement of Mr. Grady's
death, leleg rums of condolence and
pressions of sympathy and sorrow began
pouring in from all parts of tile country.
Those from the North, w here the brotherly great
man was sowing the seeds of
love, show the high estimation in which
he was held in that section -in fact, such
a high tribute was never before paid to
any Southern man. Among the thous
ands received was one from Ex-President
Cleveland, Sam'l .1. Randall, David 15.

son and a host of
prominent Throughout Northern the Southern men. Stales tin
wires were overburdened with messages
of sympathy. Every city in the broad
southland sent some titling expression ot
sorrow and grief at the death of the no
ble son of Georgia, whom they had
learned to love as man was never loved by
people before. At his own home in At
lanta, strong men shed tears of sorrow
and regret at the sad intelligence. The
whole city was shocked from center to
circumference, and a pall of sorrow over
hung everything. Mr. Grady’s

Tn deference to Mr. Grady's expressed
wish, the funeral ceremonies were verv
simple and unostentatious,
At 10 o’clock Wednesday morning the
remains were removed from the residence,
ol , Peachtree street, to the First MetIto
dislehureh. It had been arranged by the
committee ip charge, that Mr. Grady’s
body should Tie in state in the church,
that the people who loved him so well
might be permitted to take a last farewell
look upon tiie dear face. Men, women
and children- white and black—all dns
ses and conditions, were waiting for a last
look at the still, white face of the one
friend on earth t hey had in common,

more of other devices, together with a
great number of beautiful boquets, fe

wonderful beauty,
For nearly three hours the steady march
was maintained, and when the door
were shut a crowd was waiting at
the steps, and others came up in
tens and twelves, only to be turned
