The las t time I saw Horace Greeley * iras at XUchmond, Va., in May, 1867 . So had gone there to sig n the bail bond >f Jefferso n Davis, who waa brought oefor e the United States Court from hi s prison at Fortress Monroe on a wri t of habeas corpus . Mr. Davis had shanged very much sinc e he hod lef t Washington to go \away down South ji Dixie.\ Ho looked thin and hag - gard ; his hair, quite long and combed behind his ears , was much mixed with gray , while hia straggling, shaggy sido- whiskers and hi a full , short, white goate e gave liim rather a forlorn look. His lef t eye was nearly i^overe d with a film, and his sight was evidently much impaired. He wore a spring mourning iuit of a dark black cassimere , a black fel t hat and black sil k necktie . Be recognized those with whom he had : formerly been ac.^uainted , and con - Tcrse d ver y pleasantly about old times . As a number of the wealthies t men in Kichmond appeared to sig n the bai l bond o f Mr. Davis, tho signature o f Greeley was saperlluous, but he ap - peared ver y anxioti s to give i t and ver y >rou d of i t afterward. That evening l e attended a I banquet given by the Bichmond pres s to the visitin g journal - ista , and, although ho would neither eat nor drink, ho converse d with grea t fluency. \Mr. Greeley,\ said a lUch - mond'reporter, \I se e that you wear a black slouch hat.
