(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.

Blx or eight of us were sitting around tho

"That's very truo," added a second. "You

Thorn was a qilartcr of an hour of such

"Well, 1 duuno. 1 nm sharp enough to

"No, I haven't."
"Do you imviu to say that you can rldo

"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

"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
