DEATH OF HORACE GREELEY.
Many of our readers will be severely
shocked, as we were, to hear of the sudden
and unexpected death of this the greatest of
American Journalists and Philosophers—
one who has been so prominently before the
country, for a quarter of a century—on
last Friday evening, at the residence of a
friend, a few miles from New York city.
The report had gone forth that his nervous
system had been very much prostrated,
but very few, if any. anticipated so sad and
sadden a termination of one of the finest
intellects of this age. In him we have
truly lost one of the brightest minds that
the country has ever produced; one of the
most indefatigable workers knowu to this
generation, and one of the greatest journ
alists of the 19th century.
The Tribune of Saturday morning con
tains the followigg in regard to his last few
days and hours :
"So far as any of his associates knew, Mr.
Greeley was in almost as good health as usual
when, on the day after the election, he wrote
the card announcing his resumption of the
editorial charge of the Tribune. His sleep
lessness was known to have become greatly
worse, but for years ho had suffered more or
less from the same difficulty. It is now clear
that sufficient allowance had not been made
for the intense strain upon him throughout the
Summer, and especially during the last month
of his wife's illness. It soon became evident
that his strength was unequal to the hard task
to which he set himself. He wrote only three
or four careful articles, no one of them half a
column in length. The most notable, perhaps
was that entitled "Conclusions," wherein Le
summed up his views of the canvass. In all
ho furnished less than three anda half columns
after his return, contributing to only four is
sues of the paper. Two or three times he
handed his assistant short articles saying,
"There is an idea worth using, but I haven't
felt able to work it out properly. Yon had
better pat it in shape."
"At last, on Tuesday, the 12th inst., he
abandoned the effort to visit the office regular
ly, and sent for Dr. Krackowizer, the family
physician of Mr. A. J. Johnson, the family with
whom he was a guest, and in whose house his
wife had died. livery Snort was made to in
duce sleep, but he grew steadily worse, until
it became evident that his case was critical.
Dr. Geo. C. S. Choate and others were then
called in consultation, and finally it was de
cided to take him to Dr. Choate's residence,
two or three miles distant from Mr. Greeley's
own country home at Chappaqua. Here he
received the unintermitting attention of Dr.
Choate ; and here Dr. Brown-Sequard, Dr.
Brown and others were also called in consul
tation. The Insomnia had developed into in
flaination of the brain, and under this the van
erated patient rapidly sank. At times he was
delirious at other times as clear-headed as
ever. He lost flesh and strength with start
ling rapidily ; and in a few days the possibili
ty of his speedy death forced itself into unwill
ing recognition. It was not, however, until
Thursday last that his associates and family
brought themselves to admit it, and even then
they still clung to their faith in the vigor of
his constitution.
"On Wednesday night he failed very rapidly.
Thursday afternoon and evening he seemed
somewhat easier. During.Thnrsday night he
slept very uneasily, muttering occasionally
and frequently raising his right hand. Toward
morning he was more quiet, and between 8
and 9 o'clock fell into a nearly unconcious
co-dition, which continued, with intervals,
through the day. His extremities were cold
all day, and there was no pulse at the wrist.
The action of the heart was very intermittent,
and was constantly diminishing in force. He
bad not asked for water or been willing to
drink it, since his stay at Dr. Choate', bst
during Friday he asked for it frequently. On
the whole he suffered little, and seemed to
have no more than the ordinary restlessness
which accompanies the last stage of disease.
He male occasional exclamations, but many
of them, in consequence of his extreme weak
ness and apparent inability to finish what he
began, were unintelligible. About noon,
however, he said quite distinctly and with
some force, "I know that my Redeemer liveth."
During the day he recognized various people,
his daughter many times,
the members of his
honshold at Chappaqua, Mr. John R. Stuart,
and Mr. Reid. Up to within half an hour of
the end he occasionally manifested in various
ways his conciousness of what was going on
around him, and even answered in monosylla
bles, and intelligently, questions addressed to
him. About half-past three he said, very dis
tinctly, "It is done;" and, beyond Yes or No
in answer to questions, this was his last,ut
terance.
"His younger daughter, bliss Gabrielle, was
with him through Thursday evening. Through
out Friday the elder daughter, Miss Ida, w.s
in constant attendance, as she had been dur
ing the whole of his illness, and of Mrs. Gree
ley's before him. Other members of his
Chappaqua household were present, with Mr.
and Mrs. Stuart and a few other friends.
Nothing that science or affection eould sug
gest was wanting to ease the last hours. The
wintry night had fairly set in, when the inev
itable hour came. Without, sleighs were
running to and fro, bearing to Chappaqua, the
nearest telegraph station, the latest bulletins
which the thousand of anxious hearts in the
great city, near-by, kept demanding. With
in, the daughter and a few others stood near
the dying man; in the adjoining room sat one
or two more friends and the physician. At
ten minutes before 7 o'clock the watchers
drew back in reverent stillness from the bed
side. The great Editor was gone,—"in peace
after so many struggles ; in honor after so
much obloquy.',
HON. JOHN SCOTT
We see the name of this gentleman
mentioned in connection with ascot in the
Cabinet of President Grant. If the Pres
ident intends to make a change among his
official counsellors, and to recognize the
claims of the Banner Republican State of
the Union, he codd find no more patriotic
and capable gentleman than the Hon. John
Scott. But should the President place
some other gentleman in that position, the
people of Pennsylvania will consult their
best interests in keeping Mr. Scott in the
present position which he has filled with
such credit to himself and honor to the
State.
We were among the first to advocate this
gentleman's election to the United States
Senate, a few years ago, and we have
always admired his course in that body.
But, we differed from him in his action in
regard to local political affairs. Wo have
since become convinced that Mr. Scott was
right, and that trickery and fraud should
be exposed and crushed whether it exists
in our own party or in any other. Mr.
Scott took an active part in the late con
test, and contributed greatly to the grand
success. He deserves the approbation
and respect of the whole party, and the
people of his native State will support him
either in the Cabinet or in the Senate.—

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 27, '72.
MEETING OF CONGRESS.
The last session of the 42d Congress
will assemble on M mday. Quite a num
ber of Senators and members (stile House
of Representatives have already arrived in
the city, and some of the committees arc
busy preparing work for the session. The.
House Appropriation Committee are pre
pared to report the estimates for 1873-4.
The total estimates for the Government.
including intere4 on the public debt., will
not vary much front those of the current
year, and will amount in the aggregate to
about $300,000,000. There is a reduction
in nearly all the estimates grouped under
the legislative, executive and judicial de
partments of the Government; but this
decrease will not appear in the sum total
in consequence of the increased number of
Representatives in the 43d Congress.
There will also be an increase for the same
reason in the military and naval .academy
appr;priations, the number of cadets, in
dependent-of those appointed at large, cor
responding with the number of Represen
tatives.
The revenues, it is estimated, will be
fifty to one hundred millions in excess of
the appropriations. This will be applied
to the reduction of the public debt.
THE PRESIDENT'S lIIESAGE.
A rough draft of the President's mes
sage to Congress was examined by .the
Cabinet at its regular semi-weekly meeting '
yesterday. The message congratulates the
country upon the bloodless victories
achieved under the Treaty of Washington.
It refers to Cuba and the struggles of the
insurgents, but it proposes no change of
policy or action ou the pait of the United
States Government in reference to that
unhappy country. Dr. Howard's case, and
the existence of the Spanish claims com
mission are passed over with brief com
ment. Reference is made to Mexico, and
the report of the commission appointed to
investigate the outrages on the Texas
border is recommended to the attention
and action of Congress. The Vienna Ex
position and the Centennial Exhibition at
Philadelphia are referred to in terms of
commendation. The gratifying condition
of the national finances, and the public
credit at home and abroad; the efficiency
of the foreign policy ; the general prosper
ity of the nation during tha past year, and
the return of the Government operations
practically to the basis of that prior to the
war, are among the leading features of the
message. The message will not be printed
nor ifs full contents be publicly known
until it goes to Congress.
THE ANNUAL REPORTS.
The annual reports of the heads of de
partments are all in the Government print
ing office,, and will be ready for delivery
on the assembling of Congress. I was
shown the proof-sheets of some of them
today and was promised copies on Friday
—tw,a days hence—when such portions of
them as may be readable in your locality
will be culled and forwarded in subsequent.
dispatches. The following brief mention
of facts presented in some of them must
suffice fur to-day :
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
In the forthcoming annual report of the
Secretary of the Navy important sugges
tions will be made in ref,rence to reducing
the expenses of the navy and increasing
its efficiency. The report will recommend
that no money be expended hereafter in
the rebuilding and repair of old vessels, as
larger sums are absorbed in that way than
would be necessary to construct new ves
sels of approved models. None but first
class vessels should be kept on band. Old
vessels and useless materials, which have
accumulated to the value of millions of
dollars should be disposed of at auction
before they become worthless. Only ten
of the fifty iron dads on hand are now of
any value, and it is suggested that the
others be disposed of at auction or private
sale.
REPORT FROM.TIIE BUREAU OF CONETRUC-
TION.
The report of the Chief of the Bureau
of Construction, accompanying the report
of the Secretary of the Navy, Will recom
mend that compound engines be placed in
all the navy steamers. Tho insufficiency
of the present naval force is shown by the
fact that on the occasion of the recent diffi
culties at Havana there were but five
available vessels to send to the Cuban
waters, while the Spanish government had
twenty-three in the Gulf and vicinity. A
bill is now pending before the House ap
propriating three million dollars for build
ing ten sloops of war. In view of the
facts concerning the insufficiency of the
navy, efforts will be made in Congress to
cause its thorough reorganization.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT REPORTS
The reports and sub-reports of the War
Department bureaus again exhibit a mark
ed improvement iu the dispatch of unfin
ished and current business under the vari
ous administrative reforms introduced ty
the present Secretary of War, especially
in the accounting and property divisions.
REPORT OP THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
The annual report of Postmaster Gen
eral Cresswell will show a large increase
in the business and cash receipts of the
Department during the past year. The
development of the Festal service, at home
and international, during the last ten years.
has been enormous. For example, the
cash receipts of the office have crown up
$8,012,549.56 in 1862 to $20,000,000,
omitting fractions, during the past year.
It may be urged. by the reader that some
of the southern posaffices made no returns
during the war; but the annual revenues
were always under ten million dollars until
1863, when they reached $11.163,789.59.
Now that amount is nearly doubled,
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE IN
TERIOR
Secretary Delano 's report is nearly,. com
pleted. It is lengthy, and largely devoted
to summarizing the work of the Land, Pen
sion, Patent, Indian and Educational Bu
reaus, all under the Interior Department.
Fho Indian policy will be shown to have
so far promised ultimate success, while all
the other branches have been largely de-
vel ped during the past fi,o.d year.
TILE PATENT OFFICE IIEPOP.T.
Like most of the annual reports for the
fiscal year, that of the Patent office indi
cates a large increase of business. The
most astounding fact, however, is that du
ring the last decade the annual issue of
patents and the general business of the
office has been more thanivadrup'ed. For
example, ten years ago the annual issue of
patents was between three and four thous
and During the last fiscal year the num
ber of patents issued amounted to 13,620.
Since the Patent Laws have been modified,
so as to place foreigners on an equality
with American cititizens. in obtaining pat
cuts and transacting business with the of
fice, the number of fbreign applicants for
patents has increased. But the main cause
of the enormous increase of business is at
tributed to the rapid expansion of the
manufacturing interests of the country and
the general demand for new and improved
machinery. The office is self-sustaining
by the patent fees, which are quite low ;
and from the surplus of past years the
Commissioner has turned over nearly a
million of dollars into the United States
Treasury.
THE ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM.
The annual report shows that the visit
ors to the Medical Museum, during the
past year, have numbered 17,000, many
having come from a distance to obtain in
formation not attainable elsewhere. The
Museum was established during the war,
and contains a 'vast number of . suggestive
specimens of limbs and parts of the human
body. The collections continue to grow
in variety and value, and the institution
assumes the outline of a notable national
establishment.
HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
• The annual report of the Surgeon Gen
eral shows an improved state of the death
and sick rate; and for the qrst time since
the introduction of colored regiments into
the regular army, under the act of 1866,
the sanitary returns of those regiments
show a less ratio of death and mortality
than among the white troops.
THE PENSION OFFICE REPORT.
The annual report of Gen. J. 11. Baker,
Commissioner of Pensions, will be ready
on Saturday. It shows that at the close
of the fiscal year there were on file 37,176
unadjudicated claims of invalids; 23,762
claims of widows and dependant relatives,
and 11,580 claims of soldiers and widows
of the war of 1812, making a total of 82,-
518 claims. The restoration of invalids to
health, the re-marriage of soldiers' widows,
the arrival of pensioned orphans of &Teas
ed soldiers at 16 years of age when their
names are dropped from the Pension rolls.
and the death record, has taken nearly
10,000 names from the Pension rolls du
ring the last fiscal year, against 8,251 for
the previous year. The number will in
crease yearly, and more rapidly as we re
cede from the years of the war The ex
penditures of the current year, in pensions,
will be about $33,000,000. For the next
year the estimate of the Commissioner is
$30,480,000.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.
In answer to an applicant for a position
yesterday, the President stated that no
office h Were would be removed except fur
inefficiency or malfeasance in office, and
that vacancies would be filled by the next

WASHINGTON, D. C.,
Thanksgiving Evening,
November 28, 1872.
THANSGIVING DAY.
We were favored at the National Capi
tal with a real "Indian Summer" day for
our Thanksgiving. The evening is equally
pleasant, and Pennsylvania Avenue pre
sents a magnificent display of fine horses
and carriages, while the side-walks on this
other avenues and streets are lined
with ladies and gentlemen promenading in
their holiday attire.
THE FEATURES OF THE DAY.
In compliance with usage and the re_
quest of our Chief Magistrate religious
services were held in many of the churches
in the forenoon. Appropriate sermons
were preached, generally to small audien
ces. from the following and similar texts :
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the
Lord, and the people whom be bath chosen
for his own inheritance." "Let the heav
ens be glad and let the earth rejoice, and
let men say among the nation, The Lord
reigneth " "It is a good thing to give
thanks unto the Lord." "0 give thanks
unto the Lord, for He is good and His
mercies endureth forever." The chime of
bells on one of the central churches played
a number of national andother appropriate
airs after the close of church services.
THE NEWSBOYS' DINNER.
Over three hundred and fifty newsboys
were treated to a more than sumptuous
dinner at 4 o'clock in "Linden Hall"—the
large lecture hall in the Young Mens'
Christian Association building. The din
ner was prepared under the auspices of the
Young Mena' Christian Association, aided
ed by the bountiful donations of the citi
zens. Six long tables were prepared and
beautifully and bountifully spread, the bill
of fare embracing 20 roast turkeys, roast
beef and pork, boiled ham, vegetables;
mince, apple and pumpkin pies, cake of
all kinds and a score of other equally good
things. The boys, having first procured
tickets on an endorsement from the news
paper offices that they were "in the news
paper business," assembled in the main
body of the hall, where they remained qui
etly seated, clean, neat and in their best
attire, until two short and appropriate
addresses were made, when, at the an
nouncement being made, they marched in
single file and took their places around the
tables on the stag:, which was enlarged
for the occasion. After singing the stanza
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow,"
and imploring the Divine blessing, the lit
tle fellows seised their knives and went in
for a good "square meal," There were
about equal numbers of colored and white,
but no distinction on account of color or
nativity was made or any necessity for a
difference felt, eartainly not'by the boys
themselves. A baud of music, provided
by newspaper propriet(Ts, played during
the dinner hour. Mier dinner the boys
"scattered," to return at half-past seven to
an intellectual and an amusing entertain
ment prepared earcially for their benefit.
Ladies and gentlemen filled the ball on
both occasions. A smill four-page news
paper was prepared, fill.d with appropriate
Scripture quotations and moral ingruction
and advice to the boys was printed and a
copy pr two presented to .each lad, with
instructions to have it preserved as a me
ment) of the occasion. The little men en
joyed their entertainment and conducted
themselves throughout in the most orderly
manner.
CONGRESS-IMPROVEMENT IN THE CAP-
ITOL.
Painters. cabinet-makeri, upho'sterers
and plumbers have been busily engaged
for some time renovating and revarnishing
the furniture and de,ks, painting and re
touching the walls and corners, and impro
ving the heating and ventilating apparatus
at the Capitol. All is now ready for 'oc
cupation.
WORK FOR CONGRESS,
There is no business, so far as is known
to the Congressmen who have arrived in
the city. which will cause pntracted de
bate in either House. The election is now
over, and there will be no more investiga
ting committees called for ; and the gener
al impression is that all important business
can be finished by the 4th of March next.
THE FRENCH SPOLIATION CLAIMS.
.. An effort will be made by Congress to
bring these long standing claims to a final
settlement this winter. The claimants are
here organizing a rigorous lobby to bear
upon Congress; but aside from this there
is a pretty general impression that the
claims should be paid, or if not that the
matter be finally disposed of 03 a fair and
42 quitable basis.
THE JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.
An important change is prop, sed in the
working of the U. S. Soprano Court.
Congress will be called upon to create an
intermediate court, possessing the ordinary
powers of the Supreme Court, and before
which all cases shall be first argued. The
auxiliary court will perform the circuit
duties, and will be governed in all decis
ions by a construction of the laws in ac
cordance with that of the Supreme Court:
THE INTER-OCEAN SHIP CANAL.
The Government has determined to
continue the surveys this winter for a ship
canal between tho Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. Two expeditions are going out,
embracing ably and experienced officers,
many of whom were in the former expedi
tions. One party will complete the survey
of the Nicaragua route. The other survey
will be under the command of Commodore
Selfridge, who is confident of being able
to demonstrate the superior advantages of
his Atrato river route on the southern ex
tremity of the Isthmus of Darien. It is
'claimed to be the shortest of all the routes,
and has a magnificent harbor at either end.
POST OFFICE MONEY ORDERS AND STAMPS.
Nearly ninety-three and a half millinn
dollars were paid on money orders during
the past year. Over nineteen and a half
million dollars worth of stamps and postal
envelopes were sold. Total receipts nearly
$22,060.000, against let , s than 810,000,-
000 in 1861.
THE SIGNAL SERVICE,
Tho Signal eervice Bureau is organizing
a flying c reps of observers, fully equipped,
to dispat•:h from point to point, as the
emergencies of the weather require, to aid
and extend the observations of storms re
posted from the permanent stations.
NO MORE NATIONAL BANKS.
No more National Banks can be organ-
ized at present, the limit of the circulation
being fully reached by banks now in ope-
ration or organizing
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
There is still a division of sentiment
among Republicans as to the policy that
ought to be pursued in making appoint
ments and promotions. A very considera
ble number of Congressmen and others
here believe in the theory that "to the
victors belong the spoils," and that ap
pointments should be made on a political
basis. Others, and among them the Pres
ident. believe that office and advancement
should be obtained only en the principle
laid down in the new civil service rules, of
qualifications, ascertained by competency.
animation, and satisfactory evidence of
good mo al character. The question will
be brought before Congress, but the advo
cates of the new system will prevail. Im
provements may, however, be made in the
working and details of the system.
SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
Almost before any considerable number
of our winter visitors have arrived the gay
season of social parties, receptions, and
State association re unions, &c., have been
inaugurated. Tho wife of Secretary Fish
gave her first afternoon reception yester
day. Others are announced. The indica
tions are that the season will be an unusu
ally gay one A number of our pr )minent
belles were led to the altar last week and
within the last three days, and aro now
with their happy husbands on their wed.
ding tours.
An announcement just made carries
some interest with it among fattionable
circles that "the wives of Cabinet Minis
ters wi I not in future, as has been the
custom, return calls this winter, but will
give their receptions as usual." Heretofore
it was customary to return calls upon al
who attended their receptions and regis
tered their names or left cards. The cus
tom became intolerable, and hence the
change. Register books will be kept, in
wh:ch callers will record their names and
addresses. From this list selections will
be made fur the invitations.
A very good authority in society mat
ters says : "There will be more remarka
ble people in Washington this winter than
ever before." And many not very re
markable people, too, no doubt, we might
have added. It is intimated that many
prominent gentlemen from England and
the Continent of Europe, accompanied by
ladies, will spend a portion of the winter
at Washington. Some have already ar
rived, and others have signified their in
tention of coming. At the same time
quite a number of capitalists from other
Anagioan cities, are building or purcha
sing houses hero, in which to spend the
wiuteri while otlwrs ere taking up their
peirumu ntly.

Letter from London
LONDON, ENGLAND, Nov. 9, 1872,
. Dear Editor:—Since my. last, mailed at
Queen-town. Ireland, we have landed safe
ly at Liverpool, and spilt nearly a week in
England. The la,t day of our voyage was
toll a a very pleasant one. From Qw.,ens
t iwn to Liverpool we we-e io sight of land
nearly all the time. The green shores of
Ireland on the left and the coast of Wales
on the right.
Sailing up the Mercy Sunday night tlke
light houses warning us of dangerous rocks,
threw their cheerful light out toward us
over the waves. 'the good steamer "Wy
oming," whioh had brought us so safely
over the restless Atlantic, glided quietly
into the harbor and was made fast to the
pier while we were sleeping. Early Mon
day morninc , ' we went on shore. The cus
tom house officers gave us very little trou
ble. -We simply threw our trunks open,
and they glanced at the contents, marked
the lids and pissed them clung. If a trav
eller hesitates and refuses to open his
trunk at once, he nriy be sure the officers
will make him open it. and examine it
closely; but if he open it at once, he has
nothing to feat, i. e. if he has no contra
band articles along.
On landing I at once went to the steam
er dB •es to procure passage to Bombay
via Suez Canal. but fund do steamerwould
sail from Liverpool for Bombay until the
last of the month. We then came on to
London, hoping to get passage on a steam
er advertised to sail NA% 14th, but this
being the season of year for going to India
we Ibund her cabins engaged. So we are
compelled to cross France and Italy by
rail and sail from Genoa. This, however,
gives us a chance to spend a week in Lon
don, two or three days in Paris and a week
in Italy, if we wish it, as the steamer does
not sail from Genoa until November 24th.
Besides this our voyage that route will be
only eighteen days instead of forty from
London ow Liverpool. •
Yesterday we visited a number of places
of interest. First we went to "The Albert
Memorial," one of the costliest, and cer
tainly one of the finest, monuments iu the
world, erected, as your readers will remem
ber, in honor of •the Prince consort," the
husband, and ever-wise and faithful coun
sellor of the Queen Victoria. I cannot
attempt a des-•ription of sash a triumph of
art in this brief letter. Next we went to
St. Paul's, the mecca of all Church of
England people. I cannot say it struck
me as grand, but a feeling of awe and re
verence c 'mos over one as he walks through
its dimly lighted aisles and secs the statues
of England's greatest heroes gazing down
upon him. Front St. Paul's we went to
"The Tower of London." A shilling ad
mitted us, and an old warden, dressed in
old-fashioned style with a marvelnus hat
—and strange to say said warden is a glib
tongued Irishman—escorted us . through
the entire building. First we went to see
"the. Crown Jewels." Among them.
briothtest of all, gleamed the far-famed
"Kohinoor" (mountain of light) diamond.
which once gleamed in the rich turban of
old Runjeet Singh "the Lion of the Pan
jab." The queen's crown, valued at a
million of pom.ds sterling, is placed above
all the others. Such a mass of precious
stones and gala I never saw before. Next
we were taken through the armory. and
through what used to be the prisons for
political offenders. We were shown the
block on which Lady Jane Gray and Annie
Bolyn were beheaded. Also the block on
which the last execution in that manner
took place. The old axe stands beside it,
and the mark made by it, in severing the
head, is still visible. We were in the room
where Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned
for fifteen years. The walls of' that part
of the Tower are fifteen• feet thick. The
Day of Judgment alone will reveal all the
deeds of darkness perpetrated within these
gloomy walls.
To-day (Saturday, Nov. 9th.) has been,
a great day b London. This is what is
called "Lord Mayor's Day." The Lord
Mayor of the city, preceded by police, mil
itary, bands, and carriages containing al
dermen and ether city officials passed thro'
certain streets in the grandest old•firshion
ed gilt covered carriage I have ever wit
nessed. We had secured, through kind
ness of some workmen, a stand on a plat
form on one of the principal streets on the
route and had a fine sight of the procession,
which was well worth seeing. Such crowds
of people I have never seen outside of In
dia.
This being over we pushed our way
through the crowd to the spot ever dear to
"the people called Methodist,"' City Road
Chapel," in which john Wesley preached
so long, and behind which his body sleeps
We went quietly through the plain, old
building, stepped into the lofty pulpit in
which the founder of Methodism used to
preach—then passed out into the grave
yard and paused a little while by the grave
of this man to which the Christian world
owes so much. Around him lie his old
preachers—Watson, Bunting, Benson, and
a host of noble men of God whose names
are as ointment poured forth. On our way
home from India, two years ago, I heard a
sermon in this old church. Our mission
ary party have concluded to go there to
prea , hing to morrow night. We next
wal ed across the street to -Bun 11 ill Fields"
grave-yard. and stood by the grave of John
Bunyan. Strange that these two Johns,
who have done more for the religious world
than any other two mon of old England,
should sleep so near each other. The au
thor of "The Pilgrim's Progress" and the
founder of Methodism will be remembered
gratefully by millions yet unborn.
Sight seeing is hard work, and I am too
tired to write more to-night.
Nov. 12E11.-1 forgot to say that on our
way from Liverpool to London, Nov. Gth,
I bought a newspaper, published in Lon
don the night before, assuring us of the
re-election of President Grant. Our party
were all of one mind on that subject, so we
just made the old English car ring again
with a fiurrah !
To-day we go to visit Westminster
Abbey, the louse of Parliament, &c.. &c.
Yesterday our party "did" the British
Museum, but as I had spent a day in it
two years ago, I went elsewhere. I shall
probably write you again from Italy before
we sail. Yours, truly,
