DIED-At Superior, February ID,
1882, j. S. Graham, aged seventy
eight, native of the State of New
York, and of late years, a well known
physician at the Head of Lake Supe-
rior. He was a man Of great and va
ried knowledge, drawn from patient
study and observation, from extensive
travels and wide acquaintance with the
world. In professional practice, his
sympathetic nature and quiet ways
inspired a trust and hope which often
times seemed to be as efficacious as the
specific remedies of medical science.
He was man slillful in his art, keep
ing pace with the ideas and discover
les Of the age; man of sturdy sense
and fixed principles rs became his
Scottish descent, a trusted friend and a
good citizen.
Dr. Graham came to this lake region
for his health and here found relief
such as no other climate afforded.
But a short time since, he commenced
to fail, and after brief but severe i'll
ness, succumed to gathering infrmities
and advanced life, fortunate at its
close, in being attended by devoted
and untiring friends.
He was the oldest member of the
Masonic Fraternity in this part of the
country, and his brethren here conduc-
ted the funeral service with the i'm
pressive ceremonial of their order, es-
corting his remains to Duluth on their
way to Geneva, New York, where the
family of the deceased resides
The doctors death is the occasion of
universal sorrow in the community,
and his place will not readily be filed

Our better-half and all the little
fractions have arrived at Superior, and
once more we are at home, with the
carpets all busted and down and our
farewells said to the pegs, cots, coun-
ters and boarding houses. If we al
ways feel as we do now, we shall not
pull hair with our other half any more
and, but don't tell her we said so,
but we have almost decided to buv
her new bonnet-the children may
have all the peanuts they can find,
and 'chaw" all the gum they can bor-
row from the other children-we don't
mind expense when we are happy
and we'll all have jolly times. And
while we are "chuck full" of happi-
ness we will take occasion to thank
our new made Superior friends for
taking us in and so kindly careing for
us during our six weeks of widower-
hood and homeiessness. Thanks, and
perhaps a eheerful-like obituary notice,
is about all we have to repay you with,
friends, but what we have we cheerfully
give. We are now :" at home to all
of our friends.

Conductor G.. +. Leonard of the
mixed morning train from st. Paul,
had a narrow escape from death this
morning at the expense of a bad shak-
ing up. In climbing up box car
near Fond du Lac while the train was
in motion he lost his hold on the ladder
and fell from the car, striking upon
his feet on the frozen earth and roll
ing down the grade. 1t is very fortu-
nate that he fell out of reach of the
car wheels, and escaped with only a
general shock and bruises on his BODY
and head, which are not considered
serious although very painful at pre-
sent. The accident will probably have
no worse result than to keep Mr..
Leonard off duty for some davs.-Du-

The funeral of DIR. j. S. Graham
was one of the largest attended ever
seen in Superior. The hour for nee
essary reasons, was changed from three
o'clock to half past twelve p. M, yet
the church was crowded to its utmost
capacity and many stood about the
door and windows-the day being
warm and pleasant. The exercises
were short in the church, when the re-
mains were turned over to the Masons
of which organization he was an hon
ored and influential member. These,
his brethren, some fifty in number,
many of whom were from Duluth,
after removing the remains from the
church to the lawn in front, went
through with their burial rites, which
were not only beautiful, but solemn
and impressive. After this the re-
mains were taken to Duluth, and the
next morning sent by express to New
York. From the Geneva Gazette,
published at the doctors old home, we
clip the following brief sketch of his
life:
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Geo. w.
Graham received a telegram announc-
ing the death of his father, which oc-
cured the same morning at Superior,
Wis.
DR.. Graham was al old and success
full practitioner of medicine, located in
Geneva nearly or quite forty years
ago. Of a social genial nature, he al
lied himself to the secret fraternities,
becoming prominent and attaining the
highest official rank in the orders of
Masonry and Odd Fellowship.
Failing health-an affection of the
lungs threatening an early death from
consumption-induced him Gas also
advised by eminent physicians to try
the effect of a sea voyage and sojourn
in foreign lands Accordingly in 1852
or '53 he set sail and almost voyaged
around the world touching at Africa,
Australia, and intending to take in
China, but being disappointed therein
took vessel for the Sandwich Islands.
From thence few months later he
embarked for California, and in that
State and Oregon he 'roughed" it for
several years With the sturdy miners
Meantime the seeds Of the threatened
disease entirely disappeared, and he
regained vigorous health thus was his
life prolonged to the ripe age of near
ly - years.
The later period of his life has been
spent in tbs Northwest, where, still far
away from family and the friends of
earlier years, he has at last embarked
for that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returnes." We
would fain believe from his genial ma
ture that he was not without true and
faithful friends to watch with him and
smooth his dying pillow.

TPaatRR en- Vanderbilt
Death.

New York, 3.-The Post. in explana-
ton Of the decline in the stock market.
says: The death, by his own hand, OF
Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, brother Of Will
liam 81. Vanderbilt. had much to do
with the decline, although logically
it is not seen Why it should, as he had
nothing to do with the management
of the Van 5erbilt properties, nor WAS he
q large holder Of Vanderbilt securities,
it is said however, that it was last even
ing telegraphed all over the country that
Mr.. Vanderbilt had been shot and that
they brought orders here from every
part OF the country to sell stock at the
opening this morning, the assumption
being that it was one Of the influential
Vanoerbilts whose life had been taken.
It is known that VIM. 81. Vanderbilt,
out Of consideration for his late brother,
refused to see his broker this morning or
do any business, end that he accordingly
gave no orders to bull any of his stocks
particularly Lake Shore, which orders he
has been in the habit of giving for many
days. These two facts, first the dis
patches Of last evening, and second
the withdrawal Of orders TO buy,
known to the street as pay orders,
account fer the early break. The brokers
and traders in the market were not slow
in seeing the situation and they jumped
on the whole list This forced selling By
timid holders, and caused the stampede
which Was witnessed in the frat hour and
a half Before II o'clock another infu-
ence, and legitimate bear influence was
developed. This way the rise in the
rates of gold at exporting points. Not
Withstanding this the stock market about
II. 80 became comparatively steady, and
soon an improving tendency was shown,
and has since continued, although the
market it still feverish, and likely to be
for some time a. the results Of the shock
which it received early in the day.

Dangers OF Eating. as Seen by a Hu-
mOrist,

About n year ago we had discarded
everything that we thought was danger
Gus to the health when we we're startled
on learning that syrup was adulterated
with nitric acid, and that miasma lurk
ed in the deadly folds of the boarding
house batter-cake. Figures were given
to show that the dreadful batter. cake
habit was spreading, and prophesies
were made that II would eventually ruin
the constitution of the strongest devo-
tee, and reduce the nation to n vast hos
pital of flap jack invalids. So the bat
ter-cake was scratched of our list Of
edible fruits, and next went the fragrant
Goldfish ball, because it was said to pro-
duce cold feet
Then we learned hat the sad-faced
and cohesive biscuit was synonym Of
indigestion, and the transformations
kraut but another name for rheuma-
tism, SO that the biscuit and kraut had
to go; then we found out that castor-oil
contained the germs of ingostatic mole
cuies. whatever that is, and were, there
fore, forced to give up the use of that
hilarious beverage.
This thing went on till we had cut off
everything from our bill of fare but els
tern water and chewing-gum, and yet
found ourselves no stronger or health
Ter than when we were fastening to the
tomb from the effects of gorging our
selves with heavy line of assorted poi
sons three or four times day.
About this time man came along
with a magic-lantern, and showed us
that every drop of cistern water con
tanned an aquarium Of hideous marine
monsters with wigglng tails, and drug
gist then told us that the habit of gum
chewing was a fruitful source of can
Ger.
Next thing we did was TO swear of
being an Internal fool ON the diet gues-
ton, and now we eat anything and eve
rything that our teeth will masticate OF
our palate commend, and we can work
ten hours n day and see to read small

the upper part of the person slightly so
that the shoulder should not be more

best dancers?"
Forty years observations and ex-
perience has led me 10 conclude that
American women are the best dancers
in the world. The Germans are very
correct and easy, but not graceful; the
English put too much struggle into it.;
the French are inclined to angularity;
but the American woman is by nature
supple and graceful, learns with fscil-
ity, and has the vitality that takes the
place of strength"

A NEW OCEAN CABLE.
How the Gables Were Lnid by the
steamer Faraday

The second American ocean cable
was completed few days ago. The
history of the steamer Faraday's con-
nection with the laying of these two
ocean cables is an eventful one. To-
wards the close OF 1880, Jay Gould
called for subscriptions for the purpose
of laying his cables across the Atlantic,
to be used in competition with the
English cables, and by May, 1881, the
cable steamer Faraday left England
with the first half of cable No. l, which
consists of seven different sizes, the
argest one being laid near the shore.
The center wire used for telegraph
purposes is a large copper one, and of
the same dimensions throughout the
whole length of the cable. The Fara-
day soon succeeded in laying the first
half, which was buyoed in mid ocean,
with flag attached to it and an elect
ric light capable of burning thirty days.
Going back to England the steamer
took on board the second half of the
first cable, which was connected with
the portion already laid, and the cable
was soon completed across the Atlantic
to Nova Scotia.
By October, 1881, the first half of the
second cable was laid, but while the
mid ocean end was being buoyed some
portion of the machinery aboard the
Faraday broke, and the end of the
cable was lost overheard, and while
graphing unsuccessfully for the lost
cable they had the misfortune to break
the first one.
The Faraday then returned to Lon
don, leaving ali these cable ends at the
bottom of the ocean, in nearly four
miles of water. Leaving London again
about the first of January of the pres
ent year, with the second half of the
second cable, the steamer proceeded
to mid-ocean, and after several weeks
succeeded in graphing and recovering
all three ends of the cable from their
beds at the bottom of the ocean. When
it is considered that this work was done
in water some four miles in depth, a
faint idea OF the task required in laying
and recovering cables from the ocean
can be arrived at by landsmen. After
buyoirg the cable ends the Faraday
NrGs forced, through the roughness of
the waves, to wait thirty days before it
was smooth enough to attempt TO con-
meet the first cable laid. This was done,
however, and the steamer coming to
Nova Scotia commenced laying the
last half OF the second cable, and
on Monday last this was successfully
connected with the remainder of the
cable in mid ocean. So that, at the
present time, beside the English cables,
which have been so useful, we have two
cables across the Atlantic in the owner
ship of American capital Boston Jour

What the Surveyor Missed.
Detroit Free Press.

A surveyor who is running township
lines in a new county in this state, last
fall, was engaged by farmer to survey
the line between his farm and that of a
neighbor. They had line fence, but
had Engaged in several disputes as to
whether it was on the divide. The
surveyor was making preparations
when the owner of the other farm ap-
preached and inquired:
"What are you going to do nowt
"Find the exact line" was the re-
ply.
At this the man wheeled and went
off at gallop, and he was seen no
more until the line was run. The sur
veyor and the first named farmer had
lust completed the work when the
other came up to within about ten feet
of them and asked:
"Well, have you got through -
Eyes; all through"
"And is the fence foot on his
farm ?"
"No; he has two foot of yours, and
the fence must be moved 30 that you
can have it.
The old man sprang upon stump,
faced a thicket about five rods away,
and yelled out
you there-Reuben, Jap:es and
Samuel! The survey is ms.de and we
are all right You kin shoulder them
shot-guns and go back to the sawmill,
and if you meet the old woman coming
with the pitchfork. you kin tell her to
turn back and git up a squar' dinner
