The first white woman that ever

an extended trip accompanied by her
husband, Phil Hamilton, and twenty
others. says the Seattle Press. The
party entered the range from the head
of Quilcene River, this county crossed
over the divide, and descended down
the Press Valley to the Elkwa River,
thence to Port Angeles. While in the
Press Valley the party distinctly heard
subterranean noises, which indicated
internal disturbances. Large bands Of
elk and deer were frequently seen, and
several exciting bear fights were in
dulged in. Mrs. Hamilton rode the en-
tire distance on horseback.

The Japan Gazette records plucky
feat by an Englishman resident Of
Yokohama. The Englishman, who was
in Toxic, desired to return to fulfill an
engagement in Tomioka. Having been
told of the stoppage of the trains by
storm he engaged a jinrikisha and ar
rived at about o'clock in the evening
at the river Rokugo. The river was
swollen and muddy, and no boats were
there for the conveyance of passengers.
After waiting by the side of the water
for some time the Englishman dis
charged his jinrikisha, stripped, and
having tied his clothes on his back,
jumped into the current, notwithstand
ing the advice of the pystanders. A
Japanese who had also an important
engagement, and whose pluck was SUI
perior to his strength, followed suit.
and was being overcome by the current
when the Englishman turned back to
his assistance and took him ashore on
his back. This is said to have taken
place before scores of eye witnesses.

MISS GABRIELLE GREELEY.

MINIS GABNlELi1E GREELEY. xOI Uuo
Presidency and within few weeks of
the death of his wife, he left two daugh-
tiers, Ida and Gabrielle, behind him.
Ida, the elder, was married shortly af-
ter her fathers death to Colonel Nicho-
Las Smith, of Louisville. and died five
years later, leaving two children.
Gabrielle still survives. She lives at
the old family residence at Chappaqua,
n. Y, and devotes herself to religion
and to the education of her sisters
children, whom she has cared for since
q short time after their mothers death.
The old homestead is situated in
picturesque section of Westchester
County, close to the Harlem Railroad.
Horace Greeley, although the founder
of a successful newspaper which has
made other men rich, died poor. Both
.ale and his wife gave freely in charity,
and the Presidential campaign had
Saeen q heavy drain on his resources.
The Tribune hah been sadly depreciat-
ed as q property by the dissatisfaction
of its old patrons with Mr.. Greeley's
political course, and his interest was
disposed of before any of the lost
ground could be recovered. His two
daughters were therefore not as we'll
provided for as tho public generally
supposed. The farm at Chappaqua
contains seventy-fve acres Of good
land and Miss Greeley's excellent man
agement of the little property left her
has enabled her to tide over the diff
culties of the first few years and she is
now in very comfortable circumstances
