(Special Corresnondonee.l Atlanta, May 10. Tho rocont visit of Hon. Henry V, Qrndy to tlio Now York centennial proved tlmt thostnr of his nortliorn opu!iirlty had not lost any of IU lustor. Tho nownpnncrs, without ox coptlon, nlso nroo that his speech boforo tho Southern noddy Ritstnlns his rcputn lion for brilliant oratory, rlvnlcd, ns yot, by no other noiithcrnur. Tho term brilliant nn nppllcd to Orady la expressive It (Its tho man oxactly. In overy thing ho undertaken there la 11 snap, a glowing nudnclty which other public men may possess, but which Is too fro quently unaccompanied by successful achievement, Mr. Orady'sodlco Is on tho third floor of Tho Constitution building. Ho Is very acccsMblu and wholly without tho usual trappings of n great man. Ono Is Invari ably struck with tho barcnoss, nlmost carelessness, of tho npartment. It ad joins that of Mr. Harris ("Undo Ho mus"), who, It need scarcely bo remarked, Is llttlo more of an rosthcto than his chlof. In tho center Is a long deal tablo, gonorally used to rcollno upon, as thcro aro no chairs to bo scon, rostcu upon tho somewhnt sovcro looking walls nro n couplo of colored chromos, remarkable If nothing elso, for their oxtrcmo Inap nropriatencfls. Ono of them represents, In all tho colors nt tho lithographer's command, n British naval veteran gating soulfully nt his beloved Union Jack, sealed over n patriotic scroll nnd legend. Tho other is a Parisian architectural de sign. Thcro nro no books or oven papers visible, Doforo ono of tho windows stands n person of medium height nnd somowhnt robust build. Ho has straight, shiny black hair, piercing black eyes of tho samoohado and a swarthy skin. Tho visitor has plenty of tlmo to study his surroundings, as tho gentleman at tho window takes no notlco of his entrnnco whatovcr. After a lapso of somo ten or fifteen minutes ho slowly turns around and commences to pacoup and down tho floor with hfa hands thrust Into his pockets. Suddenly ho stops and turns on tho strangor a cold inquiring staro, and tho quory, "What can I do for you?" at tho saiuo tlmo pointing him to a scat on tho tablo. Ho pulls out n spittoon for your benefit, and In a fow moments you nro chatting amiably with tho editor of Tho Atlanta Constitution, a man who wields moro power and In fluence, both as an editor nnd as a citi zen, than nny ten other men in Georgia combined. Grady's literary mothod Is unlquoi in fact, I think it would bo beyond most men. Ho goes to tho window, stares nt a brick houso or a cotton compress for an hour or two, puts his main Ideas in shape, adjusts each sentenco, nnd oven syllable, in its proper order, mentally, and then rnttles tho wholo thing off to his stenographer, rarely committing a slnglo error. Whilo under tho influence of an idea which ho U putting through tho literary process ho is utterly oblivious to his surroundings. Sometimes tho fit strikes him undor peculiar circumstances, but tho peoplo of Atlanta aro rather proud of this weakness than othcrwlso, and delight In respecting it. Mr. Grady b secretary, Mr. Halllday, accompanies )iim ovcrywhero. That now famous editorial which completely changed tho nttitudo of Tho Constitution upon tho tariff question was dictated upon tho steps of a Whitehall street car which ho had unconsciously signaled. It is jokingly related that tho car was full nt tho tlmo nnd that ono of tho pas sengers who dared to murmur at tho utoppngo was threatened with bodily in jury if ho opened his mouth. It is told of Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, apro pos of his recent visit to Atlanta, that a crowd had gathered on ono of tho prin cipal thoroughfares, and trnfllo was tem porarily blockaded. Tho sad eyed sen ator asked his colored driver what tho matter was, "I 'spects It's MIstah Grady, saht Ho got ono o' his thlukiu' spells ng'lnt" ho said as ho turned tho horses' heads into an adjoining street. This is only a sam plo of tho stories told at Grady's expense. Tho success of the Piedmont exposi tion, tho Georgia Chautauqua nnd nuuier ous other enterprise Is popularly cred ited to his personal efforts. His latest achievement well illustrates both Grady's character and influence. For somo m:nths past a movement has been directed nt Now York to obtain sub scriptions by public benefit and other wiso for tho erection of an asylum for tho Confederate veterans residing In tho etato of Toxas. Many noted men lent their name, including that old Union war horse, Gen. Sherman; but tho fund lag ged slowly, oven pitifully, along; Mnj. Stewart, tho agent of tho enterprise, sent appeal after appeal, but still only a few hundred dollars lay In tho treasury. Grady watched It from nfar and chafed under what ho thought was n deep hu miliation. Finally ho could stand h no longer, and lato ono night dashed elf nn edito rial, "tho llncst ho over wroto," said Mr. Wallaco P. Reed, tho southern story writer, as ho told mo tho Incident. Its forcoand pathos wero wonderful. "Como home, Maj. Moo Stowart." he saia; "como home, nnd let ourBcarred old vet erans relapse into the honorable obscu rity from which they should norcr havo been dragged" It was then proposed that Georgians build u home for their handful of gray warriors, Tost thinning out, to livo but a few years moro except in tho hearts of tho people The ink was scarcely dry when tho money began to pile up In tho ofllce of the newspaper. In a tortnlght, among tho very humblest classes, nearly S10,000 had been raised. The home will be located near Atlanta, and the work U already in progress. a II. Wilson. Tha Mhh Wlin Hot Ha Coutil llcnt (ha Conductor In Notr l'rctlilent of n Itonil. Blx or eight of us were sitting around tho ttovo In tho old Mansion house In HiilTnlo ono night a doeado of years ago, nnd tho tnlk finally tiirmil iqioii railroads and h6w con ductors had boon licntou by dradhends. Ono man told ft story, to lw followed by another, ami a Now Yorker Anally obscrvodi "Yos, but this was In tho twist, boforo there was nny I on I system or much shnrimraa. No ono can lat a conductor In these days." "That's very truo," added a second. "You havo got (o cither como down or got olT." Thorn was a qilartcr of an hour of such tnlk, nnd then a man who had moved Into tho clitJo ami remained silent finally said I "Well, 1 duuno. 1 nm sharp enough to rldo from hero to tlatavla without paying fare." "dot a pass, maybor' "No, I haven't." "Do you imviu to say that you can rldo without ticket or tnouoyl" "I havo dono It." "Is tho conductor n rolatlvo of yoursP "No, sir." "You didn't put up any porsoual proportyr "Not a thing." "Well, If It can bo dono I'd Ilko to hco It. Tiioru nro thruoof us going down, and I'll put up (S3 that you can't rldo for nothing." "You won't put tho conductor on to mop "No." "Well, I'm going that way myself, nnd I bollovo I'll cover that hot. Tho understand ing U that I show neither om, ticket nor cash, nor sccuro tho conductor." "That's tho sizo of It. Put your money in tho hands of this guntloman, Judgo Davis, who lives at UatAvlo." Tbo money was put up, and next mondng wo all wont down to tho train togethor. Tho man who was to beat tho road told us to go into tho smoker and ho would presontly Join us. Wo got seats nnd tho train pulled out, and wo wcro wondering if our man hadn't Iwou hauled oil beforo tho start, when tho door opened and lioeutorod with thosalutatlom "TickoU, If you ploasol" "Say, If you keep on you'll bogonoral man ager somo day I" sneered tho loser when ho saw that ho had been ropod. Ho did bettor than that. A yoar ago ho was tnado president or a nustung western road, and Is now drawing a princely salary.
