Mrs. ELIZABETH HAMILTON, the venerable and
universally respected reict Of ALEXANDER HAML-
TON, closed her earthly career at her residence in
this city on Thursday morning, the 9th instant, at
four o'clock.
She was the second daughter of the distinguished
General PHILIP s. SCHUYLER, of Albany, and was
born on the 9th day of August, 1857. She was
married to ALEXANDER HAMILTON, then one of the
Aids of General WASHINGTON with the rank Of
Lieutenant Colonel, on the 9th Of December 1880,
there being not quite years difference in their
ages. They lived together in the enjoyment of
every blessing that could render welded life happy for
nearly twenty-four years, and she survived her La
mented and distinguished husband more than half
century To estimate her character properly it is
necessary to bear in mind that of the individual who
had selected her, from the many who would have
been proud of the distinction of his notice, as the
companion Of his life and that character we find SO
beautifully portrayed by single touch Of the magic
pencil Of Mr.. WEBSTER, that we give it as exhibit
ing in few words the judgment of one whose power
OF discrimination was seldom surpassed. After
speaking of Colonel HAMILTON as hero Of the
Revolution, jurist, and statesman, Mr.. w. said !:
:" HAMILTON was placed at the head of the Treasury
Department. He carried on the Government fnan-
ces; he smote the rock of the national resources,
and abundant streams Of revenue gushed forth.
He touched the dead corpse of public credit, and
itsprang upon its feet. The tabled work Of Minerva
from the brain of Jove was not more perfect than
z the financial system Of the United States which
sprung from the conception Of ALEXANDER HAM
= ILToN." 1t was this great man who sought and
won ELIZABETH SCHUYLER, and that fact is enough
to show her worth. But had she been no more
than an ordinarily endowed woman, it would have
been impossible to have passed twenty-four years
Of happy intercourse with such husband without
having her mind richly stored from the treasures Of
his mighty intellect; and those who knew her even
in her declining years will be ready to testify that
she was rare example Of the wisdom taught by oh.
servant experience, and bright example of all
womanly graces. Her benevolence was most exem-
plary and of the finest manifestations of it was
her habit, to within few months of her death, of
making occasional visits to all the schools of the
city, and she never did SO without imparting
some moral lesson which showed how deep an
interest she took in the welfare of the country which
her husband had contributed 50 largely to make free
and independent.
Mrs HAMILTON lived to the very advanced age
OF ninety-seven years and three months, and died
without a struggle, in full communion with the
Episcopal Church and surrounded by her surviving
children. Her remains were taken to New York
for interment
