GRADY IS DEAD. THE NOBLE YOUNG GEORGIAN PASSES OVER THE RIVER. The Last Sad Scenes Which Close a Brilliant, Grand and Noble Career. * JUgi 25 pelliv 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 ttOil From the newest sub. up to the . 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 its deln er v has i jeeoinr ctjoehal, SiKiki-D with all proper boldness, and with simer itv welling urn! up from the heart, it disarmed criticism invited friendship.

The visit to Plymouth Hock was unfortunate in this respect.

In New York lie was treated by Dr. Goldthvaite. Before tiie party started 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. Hill, E. 15. Haskell, of the Boston Hern hi; Boswell P. Flower, Patrick A. Collins, .john ii. inman, x’lintbn T5. Fisk, F. u. Tlmriier, James E. Campbell, Governor of Ohio; Daniel S. Earnout, John A. Coekcriii, C. M. DePew, other well-known Edward Atkin- and 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 The press of the country, contemporaries, were unanimous in tlicit expressions of grief at the loss of si, brilliant and talented a brother journalist. Henry Woodtln Grady was loyd every where. THU Ft NFltAL CKIU-tMOXtlCS. 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, When the doors were thrown open, at II, the crowd filed into the church, Looking over the shoulders of those in front, the first view was of the floral dec orations about tin- chance). These were strikingly beautiful. The pulpit was I milked in tube rose.-, palms, japonieas, hyacinths, roses, violets, immortelle-*, ‘•mi lux, ferns and ivy. This rarest art id ic taste was shown in the individual pieces, and in the general arrangement. Crowns, crosses, crescents, columns, and a score or more of other devices, together with a great number of beautiful boquets, fe toons, and the like, made up a picture of 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 away disappointed. nine It thousand is estimated that between seven and people, passed through the church to view the remains. A grander tribute, or a truer, than that, of tears and sorrow was never paid a mortal man. ani * i i -t Kt-- i u-miy At T 2:J0 ‘ '** , ,, ... , , .. . hundred , and f, ty strong one , , nin ,, ,, Y.triek an honored guest, in the lead, Hv twos they mr.-hed the , ed.tontd ... . . m,d , n J?° "7 staffs I, rat: then lie business oih ™’ th ' : filing d-t,art.n-nts the com room rn ™ ai,, ‘ employex of the ^ b “ order, r.-'K-etively, Jt was he ^ Umc ,ll,s UT '' ^ nil v ‘ - £ged tm *fT veterans f ** d Th, ie -tick NT and i ni.rito T *7' U \T "P l"*' " f IhosebnJbant article* of hi* whic n mane the (ormUtn 'L'" ‘ 4 ' f ‘" ‘r'lti' l ' " T Atnen,a - 1 h,r,: ^ 1,ttklwTS “ ■ i punts, and there were young ladies, who find honorable employment within tiie walls of the great building, on whose foundation stones are the prints of his own facile fingers.
