The GreeIeys.
New York Graphic.

The country will learn with gratifi-
cation that Miss Gabrielle Greeley
has secured possession of the Chap
paqna farm. She pays $40, 600 for it,
and it is worthy of mention that,
though the property was worth more
money, there was at the auction sale
at which it was disposed OF not bid
against her. 1t was felt that the pro-
perty belonged to her, and the only
thing to be regretted in the premises
is that it should not have passed into
her hands as the gift of the people for
whom her father labored earnestly,
honestly, and unselfshly for SO many
years.
1t seems long time since 1872,
when one recalls the family in which
the country took so much interest at
that period. Death had entered the
family but once, the victim being the
boy ''Pickie," of whom both the
father and Margaret Fuller had pre-
dicted wonderful things. The wife
and mother died shortly after the
melancholy campaign of the year,
and the husband and father, a mental
wreck, followed her in few months.
Ivory Chamberlain, himself now
dead in his very touching article on
Mr. Greeley in the World, spoke of
the PARKWAY, absent, hopeless look of
the old man as the grave closed, over
the woman he had loved. and who
was at times, if accounts be true, a
rather severe domestic ruler. Since
then Ida, the wife of Nicholas Smith,
has died; so that the sole survivor of
the Chappaqua family is the lady
who has just bought the old farm.
The place will grow more valuable
as time goes on. Men like Mr.. Gree
ley are never forgotten. They and
the places that knew them pass into
history, and every year adds to the
interest they create. The older the
picture the more its value, and the
longer Chappaqua is known the great
er the number of the people who will
visit itand transfer to it some of the
pride they feel in the memory of the
man who sought it out. A place Of such
historic interest ought to belong to,
and be taken care of by the govern
ment, but for the present it is in the
hands of one who has better title to
