Rev. Dr. Onapin then spoke as follows:—One month ago many of us now present met in this place to express our sympathy with one who sat with pallid face and quivering beart-stricken mourner for his wife. To-day, as in the freshness of his great sorrow he him: wished, he is to lie by her side.’ The shadow of death which he was then passing through has now enfolded him ut- terly, Sach is the Providence that checks all human purposes and makes life A OONTINUAL SURPRISE. And now, as I stand here to discharge no mere poe Mnctions, but to do that which I feel no more imperative upon me as a pastor than as &@ personal friend, I stili must, by leave, limit my- gel! quite closely to the phases of the hour, I can- not attempt here and now to untold the life or es- timate the work of Horace Greeley. Such an at- tempt would, on the one hand, be premature, and on the other hand unnecessary—premature be- cause the traits and lessons of a great lite can best be summed up and fixed in history in calmer mo- ments, when the FIRST VIBRATIONS OF GRIRP and excitement have ceased. This work ought to be done, and I trust will be done, in the utverances at some public memorial services, which will de- mand and receive a much wider hearing than I can claim. On the other hand, this work of apprecia- tion is unnecessary, because it has already been done. There have been but few instances in our history when the salient points of a man’s char- acter have been so instinctively comprehended, but few instances when the expressions of regret and regard have been so spontancous, so wide- spread and so similar, The record of Mr. Greeloy's lite, like his person, was knowa everywhere. These EULOGIES that pour in go thick and (ust from every quarter of the Jand are not made up of artificial rhetorie, These teara, as freely shed to-day by country firesides and itn distant States as under the sombre drapery of these walls, are not cenventional tears. These ure no official symbols of sorrow that hang around us, They represent the people's thought and are twined around the people’s heart. A career of honest Purpose and beneficent tendencies vindicates itself against all transient misconceptions, Where are to-day our party Vel and political distinctions ? They fade to ashes. Where in the reverent still- ness of this hour are differences of creed? They meitaway in the broad light of Christian recog- nition that testifles to a true man’s life and re- joiwes over & good man’s grave. All this, then, I say, indicates AN INSTINCTIVE APPRECIATION sive by any elaborate analysis. And now, ray friends, a8 one lesson of this place and thts hour, {ask you belore the face of the dead to consider (or & moment or two what it, was to which tls affectionate remembrance avtaches and which draws this spontaneous regard. It was bot mere intellectual ability, large and undeniable as it was in the present instance. it was not oficial station, Mr. Greeley held no official sta- tion, The will of the people, expressed through the Electoral College to-day, decreed that he should hold no such station, To-day the will of God elects him to a place from which all human honors look sinall andempty. No, my friends; the attraction in tnis iustance is the MAGNETISM OF MORAL GOODNESS, Ineed not say that Mr. Greeley’s heart was as large as tus brain; that love ior humanity was an iuwrought element of his nature. This was 80 com- plete, so perfect in tim that it touched all sides of bumanity, so to speak, and it was manifested in a kindness the record of which is in many a brother heart,.and im a hand ever ready to help, and in one of the kindest faces ever worn by man, the expres- sion of which was as a meeting of gentle lights without aname. The hundreds of poor, toil-worn take a last look at that wan countenance were ‘They came there not to gaze at the face of the great journalist or famous politician. They were drawn by the con- Victiou that Le was the POOR MAN'S FRIEND, the sympathetic champion of working men, who had struggled through their experiences and lad never forgotten their claims, Mr. Greeley's public ambition was directed by the same impulse. It Was the maiuspriug of hi3 untiring etorts, his al- most unprecedented work, for so many years. It enlisted hum in the service of every humane cause. Notonly did it inspire hia unfaiiing war with op- preasion and vice and meanness of every Kind, but it made him exceptionally generous aad toleraut. Some may tbink that he erred on the side of mercy | against justice. Perhaps so, but if one must err at ali that ts a good side toerron. A sweet disposi- Lion may hold even error in harmless solution, and bullet it be remembered also that even MERCY is sometimes @ synonym of justice. Another danger that attended upon such a character was credulity—too much readiness to believe the most and the best. But this human nature of ours, disciplive it as we will, will still be fallible, and 1s other. The doctrine of a large trust in man, how- ever qualified by painful experience, is necessary as the taspiration of all noble effort und for all con- | vent of mind, for the working machinery of life and | for every tibre of the social organism. Do you tell us that there is no substance in human virtue, that all honesty is impracticable and all love a | selfish mask; that in this world there are m0 loyal | friendships, no unpurchased benefits, no faithful hearts, no incorruptible souls? Is ail this SENTIMENTAL ILLUSION ? Then, I say, let us be cheated by this tilusion always, shutting out the meaner truth and deceiv- ing ourselves to the grave. Whatever may have been the mistakes of nim who lies dead belore us, {here was no mistake in the main current that inspired his labors and characterized his life. And here, l repeat, is ®& lesson for us all. In trying to do the work of life we may be discouraged by stances of conspicuous greatness, especially gi ness that expresses intellectual power and achieves splendid successes. It may seem to us that be- cause we cannot do great things we can do noth- ing that is of worth, and tiat{t matters little what | we do. But goodness ts richer than greatness. It lifts ng nearer to God than any intellectual eleva- tion, and, moreover, it is accessible for the humbiest ite. Ido not say that EVERY DUTY OF RELIGION is expressed in love for man, though we have war- rant for believing that ail the law is fulfilled in this one clause, “To lave thy neighbor as thyself.’’ The love of God kindies and nourishes the life of man, but how tn this world is the love of God to be mani- Jested? [tis to be manifested in the love of man according to our abilities within our sphere—broad or narrow. And 1 bless God that the great neces- sary work of the world is so taithfully carried on by humble men in narrow stations, by ‘aithful wo- men in narrow circles, true to the impulse of the fects. How wide, how was the circle of inceresta which be touched! w close to men’s homes and bosoms the convictions which he wrote! How minds has he instructed with wisdom, how Pe og jolenome C1 vy and acknowledged him as ogee Sy and their guide!

His work was wide and various; how wide and various this tacle here, to-day beara wit- ness, His associations represented here compriae all differences of purpose, of opinion and of pur- suit.

Wouid that in life an death it might be a lesson itlustrated by us ali—the lesson of the power and the suficiency of Chris- tian faith. Far be it from me to 6 ‘PAKE ‘ADV ANTAG! of this occasion, which has assembled so many of different creeds and forms.of worship, to urge the point of Mr. Greelcy’a sympathy with ¢! juter- Pretations of Christiauity which usually’ find ex- pression here. Only suffer me to say that he found at Joab whatever errors nay be mixed with his own views, strength to live and strength to die by them. But there is a grander fact than this—that upon the casential truth of Christianity, the truth which all believers trust in, Horace Grecicy leaned 18 WEARY HEAD and weary heart and died. Now, my friends, not because it is my oMce, not because it a rofessional right tut I should speak, do say that the more [ see, the longer I live, the more I believe with every fibre of my heart that in the Obristian faith aloue are trac peace and triumph in our life and our death, ‘The mere intellect may tind satisfaction in specu- tion concerning God, or whether there be any God at all, or in scientific excursions through the universe in the seemingly remote prospect of our own dissolution we may raise FRIOUS INQUIRIES about a future lite—whether this still cold form that now lies before us {8 in itself the compact sub- stance and finality of our being, or whether from this motionless form there has not vanished some- thing that thought and Knew and spoke and loved, and evidently is not here, In the as- sumptions of our modern wisdom, know- ing so many things, and as we think comprehensive and impartial in our judgment, we may criticise the claims of the ancient Bible and the historical Christ, But when the iorces of na- ture press upon the life-strings of our own being and we want to know something ol the power that bears us by and carries us along; when the lamp of our conscious being WLICKERS IN THE ADVANCING darkness aud the question rises straight before us, “Ia this the end of all, or is there something more?” when our wrongdoings haunt us and our evil habits accuse us and our sinful lives rebuke us, and We {eel our moral weakness and know that we cai not elevate ourselves above ourselves, then, In. deed, does it come to us as a joy and aa a victory— the truth that broke upon Horace Greeley, “I know that my Redeemer liveta.""

Job was a great sufferer. Aflictioa aiter affliction fell upon tum in whirlwind blast and hghtning stroke, He inourned, but waited. He looked through the tumuituous troubles that came upon him and envied the peace of the grave, Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are af rest. But still, through all and be- yond all, he recognized this truatn—that there was a helper, a vindicator, A REDEEMER; and that was his strength and his victo' our friend aud our brother had hia tour of desolation and of darkness, Aiiliction after ailiction fell upon him, and he longed for reat, no doubt. He, indeed, breathed the spirit of the simple verse, Lite is the torrid day Burned by the wind and sun, And death the calm, coot ¢ When the weary day is don But he looked above anti beyond this. These were but transient shadows, and I thank God trom my heart and my soul, not only fur mysel(, but for all, that from the lips of this dying man, when all earthly good was crumbling LIKE SCAFFOLDING, when all this world’s light was fading, he was so strong and triumphant in this sentence, “1 know that my Redeemer liveth." My friends, that was the victory of Horace Greeley’s life as well as the triumph of his deato. It is the consolation of the hour. I dare not trust myself to speak to these smitten hearts, | dare not trust words to convey, as it were, one atom of my sympathy, but there 13 your consolation, “Il know that my Redeemer liveth.”” And now, as we take the body of our brother and bear it to his final rest irom these walis that have known him so often and shall know him no more; now, a8 we bend over him with these tears that cannot be restrained, God grant that this may be our consolation also. Farewell, dear friend! Farewell, honored associate! Farewell, aoble champion! each may say, speaking for some great | interest or conviction of his life. Farewell! We kuow that our Redeemer liveth; and God grant we may know it in that final hour when, like him, there is nothing for us but to turn to God! Dr. Chapin then at once delivered a short prayer, in which he specially implored that the family of the departed might find consolation in their great bereavement. i “Augels Ever Bright and Fair’ was then sung by Miss T. Werneke, soprano of St. Francis Xavier's ng hour, church, and the bymn “0 What is Lile ?” was most, | beautifully chanted by Miss Sterling, of the Plymouth church — choir, Then Dr. Chapin delivered a benediction, and the cofin, followed by the great concourse of admirers and friends of the recently animated clay which it contained, was transterred to the nearse outside and began ITS FINAL JOURNEY to its last resting place. The crowd had not de- creased on Fifth avenue. It had apparently in- creased, but it was kept well in hand by the excel- lent police arrangements, Superintendent Kelso himseifunder the personal supervision of Mayor Hall, attending to the arrangements for the conduct of the procession. The long line of pallbearers | fled dewn the steps vehind the richly decorated t- | Casket and took their places in the carriages pre- pared for them, proceeding down Fifth avenue on each side of the hearse, and thus moving, 28 it were,- three carriages abreast. The two desolate daughters followed arm in arm, and rode with Mr. Cleveland and his daughter. The other immediate friends of the family and the brother of the deceased were given the next carriage. President Grant was placed in AN OPEN BAROUCHE, the only open carriage in the procession. On his lett sat Vice President Colfax and in the front seat were Senator Wilson and Alderman Van Schaick, ‘The carriage was escorted by a guard of police.

THE OBSEQUIES IN BROOKLYN. It was generally expected that the funeral cor- tége would reach Brooklyn about two o'clock. Hence it was that thousands of people partook of @ hasty dinner and hurried to points along the line seé apart for the funeral procession to move over, so that from that hour the throng grew greater upon the streets leading to Greenwood. The cars of the Court street, Third and Filth avenue lines were crowded with people going to the cewetery eager to witness the cere- mony at the grave and to obtain eligible sttes for opservation. PARTIAL SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS. There was very little business of any description transacted im ettner the fed- eral or municipal offices of Brooklyn yes- terday, and thousands of citizens took a half holiday for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to the memory of the well beloved jour- nalist and philanthropist. The fags of the public buatldings, a3 well asthe colors on many private houses, factories and alithe shipping, were float- ing at half-mast, Shortly before two o'clock Inspector of Police John 8, Folk and Capt Daniel Ferry, with fifty men of the Third sub-p) ct4, took up their hy quarters at the Hamtiton avenue ferry, I there atielitly awaited the arrival of the luneral pro- cession, SEVRRAL THOUSAND SPECTATORS, men, women and children, representing every de- grec in iile, assembled in the vicinity of tie ierry and peered anxiously toward the slip as boat alter boa arrived and the cortege failed to appear. Among those who patiently waited to receive the honored remains upon this side of the river were conspicuous the leaders of the liberal republican movement in Kings county, Messrs, Archibald M. Bliss and Chas. 4. Godard, ‘The /ormer gentleman was prevented from joining in the obsequies in New York by rea- son of the destruction of @ vast amount of his property by fire on the preceding night, wien the Bushwick avenue stabies, horses and cars were consumed. Ag the aiternoon grew apace tne ther- mometer went down and the watchers grew red and blue with THE CHILI. ATMOSPHERE which was waited from the river. At fifteen minutes past three o'clock an orderly arrived, bearing intelligence from Superintendent Kelso that the head of the procession was passing Fulton street, The police were then marched out of the ferry house and were drawn up in line, facing in- ward. Precisely at half-past three the ferry boat New York reached the slip and the carriages and hearse moved off, As the corte ed out of the gates the police saluted. The hells of all the city churches were volled and the crowd raised hats in pve haa to the mortal remains of the humani- rian, THE ADVANCE OF THE PROCESSION paused on Unton streec and there awaited the ar- rival of the remainder of the carriages. Arrange- meats had veen made by the committee with the Union Ferry Company for the transportation of 600 vehicles. ‘The company had seven boats run- ning, beg four extra, in order to facilitate the movements of the funeral and obviate ali _unneces- sary delay. They also, as a token of tespect, re- fused to accept ferriage for the vehicles or mourn- ers in the line. In halfan hour, by four o'clock, the last carriage was on the necropolis side of the river, and the mournful procession moved on at aslow pace. The rotte lay through Union street, over tie Nicolson pavement, on to Fourth. av- enue and along thence to Greenwood. Upon every corner was gathered throngs of shivering people, the larger portion of the spectators being females, who warmed in their praises of the virtues of the “good old man’ whose peculiarly sad taking of appeals so strongiy to those among whom his name has been ‘a household word” for the past genera- tion almost. AT GREENWOOD © ERY fuily four thousand people, chiefly of the gentler sex, renin im intelligent and re- spectable families of the community, withstood the penetrating cold of the afternoon and con- trolled their impatience to seek the warmth and comfort of home in their desire to lend py the eloquence of _ their presence cheer and comfort to the hearts of the bereaved orphan girls who had lost a father whom they had so long respected tor his sterling worth. ‘The picture presented upon passing through the grand archway leading to the cemetery was a striking one covered — with leaves, Seine housani the grassy knoli, now @ soft carpet of Autumn the entrance, stood, walked and sat Persons, watching eagerly the approaches for the Ppl! of the head of the Eh gerers For hours tl Among this gsse ey Waited thus. were conspicuous several mothers, who carried in taeir arms or held by the hand young children, ly regardless of the dangers which they ran frot posing the young ones to the damp, cold phere of a December evening, in such a place.

Prize Fight Between Kilbride and Riche ardson. [From Bell's Life in London, Nov. 16,} For some time past the sporting houses in Man- chester and Salford, which still cling to a dificalt love in the pursuit of the “manly art,” have beem noticed to be more than usually frequented, the cause being that a pugilistic encounter was on the tapis between these pugs, The articles for the encounter stated that Hugh Kilbride, of Bradford, Yorkshire, and George Richardson, alias Tate, of Manchester, engaged tonght at catch weight for £10 aside, over ten and under thirty miles from Manchester. The spot selected, after one “attempt,” Is familiarly known to the “oideat inhabitant” ag the ‘Mile Field,” and is situated on the Salford side of the River Irwell, contiguous to the Man- chester Race Course, about four miles from the city. At the appointed hour the priacipals put in an ap- pearance, and, the usual ropes and stakes having been dispensed with, the spectators, who num- bered about three hundred, tormed a ring. The morning was bitterly cold, but at the time the ght began a littie Warmth was infused into the atc by the almost perpendicular rays of a late fore- noon sun. When in the ring in proper costume Kilbride looked in the best trim, an unsatisiact shyness being observable about Richardson, w! *may be accounted for by the fact that he was almost “blooming alone.’ From beginning to end Kil- bride had the best of the dgat, his visitations bel principally confined to the left side of George’ cranium, the dexter fin of the hawker payi up- pleasant attention to Richardson’s left eye, Rich- ardson fought principaily at Kilbride’s body, om which part of his anatomy he sent home afew pile drivers, which made the Yorkshireman any- thing but comfortable about the internal works. Kilbride was early credited with the only event (first blood) and odds of 6 to 4 were laid on him, When the eighth round had terminated the “blues” were seen advancing and a speedy retreat was beaten by ail present, savve qui peut bet the individual care at the moment. The police ar- rived in sufficient time to arrest Richardson and several others and the fight was consequently at an en On Wednesday morning all five were arra! before sir John lie: ntell, at . the Borough Court, and on the evidence of Detectives Barrington and Seal, Kilbride and Richardson were bound over in two sureties of £10 each and them- selves in £20 each, and Milis, Skyte and Etchells (the latter denying that he was present) in two sureties of £5 each and themseives in £10 cach, THE CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION, Organization of the Commitice to Amend the Constitution. .

A Geographical Mystery Made Cleare French Travel Tracing the Great River Mekong. A geographical mystery of Asia has been cleared up, and an illusion of commerce dissipated, by the explorations of some French travellers. M. Louis de Carné started in the summer of 1866 from Saigon, tn French Coohin-China, to track the great river of Cambodia, the Mekong, to tte sources. The hope of the French Colonial Ofce was that this large stream, unknown like the Salk ween, the Meinam and the Tonquin, might oder am available water-road through Laos and Gunan te the back of China, and give to the Cochin-Cninw deita which isheld by France the commerce of # second Nile or Ganges. This hope has failed. The Mekong, which the Frenchmen traced at the cost ot terriite ta and great sacrifice of valuable life, is an “1 ble river,” broken at least thrice by rarious cate racta, and having @ current against which not could be naviyated. The discovery, parchased the cost of existeuce by the leader of the expedl- tion, M. de Carné, whose story is posthumousty lished, takes away hall thé vaiue of Cochin- ina. It is now Engtand’s turn to find out whether the po Btreams which have their embouchure @& jangkok and Moulmein offer any Wel ier casuce OF @ back Way to the Yamk-twe-Ik)
