TERRITORY.

THE DISCOVERY MADE IN ALASKA
TERRITORY.
SAN Francisco, October 9.-Lieu-
tenant Storey, who went upon the
last trip of the revenue cutter Cor
win for the purpose of distributing
among the Tenuckchee Indians of
Alaska, $4,000 worth of presents
given them by the government in
recognition of the shelter and food
afforded the officers and crew of the
steamer Rogers, burned in 1881, re-
ports the discovery of an immense
river, hitherto unknown to geog-
raphers. This river had been Yag-
uely spoken of by the Indians to for
mer explorers, and Storey, being
compelled to await the return trip of
the Csrwin, determined to see if
there was anything in it. Accom-
panied by one attendant and an in.
terpreter he proceeded inland from
Hotham Inlet in southeasterly di-
rection and struck what he believed
to be the mysterious river. He
traced it to its mouth, a distance of
about fifteen miles, where he saw
such immense pieces of floating tim
ber as to satisfy him the stream
must be of immense size. He re-
traced his steps for a distance offifty
miles, where he encountered natives,
from whom he learned that to reach
the headwaters of this unknown
stream would take several months.
The Indians told him they came
down it a distance of l 800 miles to
meet fur traders, and that the river
went up higher than that. Having
no time to 90 further Storey return
ed. 1t is his opinion, as stated by
those on the Corwin, from whom
this information has been obtained,
that the discovery of this river ac-
counts for the large amount of float
ing timber in the Arctic, popularity
supposed to come down the Yukon.
The Indians stated that the river is
in some places twenty miles wide.
1t is within the Arctic circle, but in
August, when Stor ey was there, he
found flowers and vegetation, not
hitherto discovered in so high lati-
tudes. He has forwarded his re-
port to the secretary of the navy,
and hopes to be permitted to come
back and continue his explorations.

THE CRAVE OF CLAY.

Lexington correspondent Of PhilAdelphia Times
Turning from the hospitable home
of the descendants of Clay, it is
most natural for the visitor to bend
his steps to the grave of the great
commoner. No direction is needed,
as it towers above town and forest
and guides the worshipper to the
shrine he seeks. On the northwes-
tern suburb of the town is Lexing-
ton Cemetery, one of the most beau
tiful resting places for the dead i
have ever visited. 1t is grandly and
beautifully shaded by forest trees,
yariegated with evergreens and fra
grant with flowers. The ground is
broken into abrupt undulations and
the little hillocks and sudden ravines
are all dotted with the records of
the dreamless sleepers of this love-
| ly city of the silent. Near the cen
ter, on gentle eminence, with a
large velvet lawn around it, are the
grave and monument of Henry Clay.
A broad base of Kentucky limestone,
twenty feet high, encloses the dust
of the beloved and lamented states
man, and by his side is the partner
of his joys and sorrows, who surviv-
ed him a full decade. Facing the
sunny South is an open grating that |
offers full view of the beautiful CHS |
eled marble tombs which contain
the dust of the Clays. On the top |
Of the marble sarcophagus are the
simple words, HENRY CLAY, and on
the side, in letters so plain that the
passer by can read, is the following
utterance by Clay, shortly before his
death
L can with unshaken confidence
appeal to the Divine Architect for
the truth Of the declaration that
have been Influenced by no impure
purpose, no personal motiYe, have
sought no personal aggrandizement,
but that in all my public acts have
had 4 sole and single eye, and
warm, devoted heart, directed and
. dedicated to what, ia my best judg-
: ment, believed to be the true in
q: teIests of my country.
On the large base is erected a
round column of white limestone,
nearly one hundred feet in height,
and on the pinnacle is the life-ike
statue of Clay, facing the home his
name and love have made immort-
al. With all his grandeur of char
lcter and attainments, his destiny
was dust to dust, the common des-
.iny of all, and the heart and tongue
whose eloquence inspired the iber- :
y-loving people of every cline are :
iilenced forever, but his memory :
md his teachings will endure while
he republic lives. After half a CEN
ury Of distinction in both hemis-
'heres, and victories and defeats !
which are alike immortal, the story /;
nds in the peaceful shades of Lex :
ngton Cemetery, and records, after ,
II, only the brief but fretful journey
rom the cradle to the grave. 4.

AID TO IMMIGRANTS. There are no houses
to rent in or near Vancouver, the hotels are
crowded, aud newcomers are discouraged
by such prospect from stopping here to
spy cut the land. In fact many families
have been turned away from here recently
by this state OF affairs. With the consent
of the school board directors, public spirited
citizens have undertaken a project for the
newcomers, by fitting up the old school
house as an immigrant receiving house,
where families can be provided for ten days
or two weeks, until they can secure more
permanent quarters. 1t will take some
money and labor to procure lumber and fit
up the building This must be obtained by
subscription, and it is expected that the
people Of Vancouver will not be slow to fur
nish all the means required. 1t is more pco-
Pile this county most needs. to settle its
lands and develope its resources, and every
project locking to that end should be fully
encouraged. Once let it be known at Port
land and other places that emigrants will
meet fair reception here, and our receiving
house will he always full. All our people
will be benefited by it; those who sell
goods those who sell lands, and all mechan.
les as well. Let it be understood abroad
that Clarke county has room for thousands
Of settlers, and those already here will well
come the newcomers.
