GARFIELD'S BROTHER.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Inter- Ocean has recently hunted up
the brother of President Garfield, and
found him living obscurely in the back
woods of Michigan, sixteen miles from
Grand Rapids Thomas Garfield
for such is his name-is the eldest
brother of the late President, and he
settled in Michigan in 1867, where he
has since resided. He purchased forty
acres of land, and, by the help of his
wife, cleared it for farming. He said
thai his brother James had frequently
helped him in various ways, and
twelve years ago purchased forty acres
of land adjoining his farm and gave it
to him. 1t is now occupied by his eld-
est son, 81 years old, who is named
after his uncle, James Abraham Gar
field. In speaking of his early life Mr..
Garfield said:
Il was q child between 10 and ii
wien father died, and, and James was
the baby of Is months Mother was
often urged to find places for her chill
dren among neighboring friends, but
she always refused, and in our humble
home spinning and weaving for such
people as would give her employment,
while | set out working with all my
might among the neighbors to coutrib-
ute what child could for family sup
port, used to earn twenty-five cents
cord for chopping fifteen-foot wood,
and from my slender earnings
paid nine shillings q bushel for
meal, witch / packed two miles and a
half from the mill and this largely
formed our diet And that winter
mother wove large piece of cloth for
the children and paid for the dyes to
color it, James was years younger
than the next oldest child and was
teaching school when we were married.
| well remember carrying him on my
back to the school-house when he was
a child. His mind seemed fully occu-
pied with his studies and, if / say it
myself, James was good and smart
man.
Mr.. Garfield said that he was too
poor to go to Washington to see his
brother during his illness, but he attend
ed the funeral at Cleveland. He gives
the following account Of their last meet
ing:
i can never forget the last time l
met him. 1t was at Mentor last New
Years, when we held the family meet
ing No money could buy of me the
remembrance of our parting. He took
me kindly by the hand and said: You
are going back to your peaceful home,
while must encouter trouble and anx-
ietY increasing.'

AN OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUm.
Kills a ColOred WOman-yvas It sui
eide or Accident

Dora Macdonald, g colored woman about
twenty-five years Of age, residing with her
stepfather, J. N. johnson, senior of the
firm Of johnson 4 Jackson, on Bay street,
was found dead in her bed about nine
o'clock last night. It Is stated that she had
been complaining Of feeling unwen all
Thursday, and yesterday remained
in bed, though not regarded as
seriously i'll. About 8 o'clock last evening
she sent a little colored girl to GalIaRheris
drug store for some laudanum, which was
procured and delivered to her. The suppo
sition is that she took an overdose of the
drug, which resulted in her death, as at 9
O'Clock, when the little girl went to her
room, she noticed Dora's head living In
peculiar position. Approaching the bed
side she attempted to straighten the Young
weman's head, when to her surprise she
discovered that she was apparently dead.
DR.. B. s. Purse was at once dispatched
for, and arrived in q few minutes
after the summons. On examina-
ton of the body the doctor stated that the
woman had died at least half an hour pre-.
viouslY. The supposition is that she took
the laudanum to alleviate pain,
but as she had not complained of
any great suffering during the day,
and the drug was obtained without
the knowledge of her parents, there is
ground for suspicion that she may have
taken it with suicidal intent. Under the
circumstances, the Coroner was notified.
and will hold an inquest this morning. Her
funeral will take place this afternoon at 8
O'Clock
