Sunk by an Iceberg.
A MOUNTAIN OF I0E -ToPPLMe OVER ON
A SHIP, AND CUTTING HER IN TWO.

Capt. Juul and the surviving crew of
the Norwegian ship Moen, which was
wrecked by collision with an iceberg,
have arrived at Quebec Capt. JUL
says:
1--WE left Elsinore for Quebec In the
beginning of April. When in latitude
46 degrees north, longitude 45 degrees
west, at y p. m, during thick weather,
the vessel collided with an immense ice
berg towering out of the water as high
as the ships masts. The ship having
become firmly iammed in the iceberg,
the boats were got out Twelve men
got into the first boat, which was speed
lily carried out of the vessels reach. As
six more of the crew remained, another
boat was got out, but she was at once
smashed and filed. Matters had begun
to look serious for those on the vessel,
when the first boat got within hailing
distance, and line was thrown to her,
and she was hauled alongside. The re-
mainder of the crew succeeded in board
inf her, except one, Johann Roht, a
native of Denmark, who was lost.
The Captain was last to leave the YES
sci, and had a very narrow escape, being
thrown into the water and carried down
a considerable distance, losing conscious
ness. The crew, Notwithstanding the
darkness, managed to rescue him. They
had barely got clear when the huge ice
berg toppled over on the vessel, cutting
her in two. After being in the boat
twenty-four hours without food, and
barely clothed, no time being given
them TO save anything, they realized
fully their fOrlorn position. The cold,
vet weather added to the sufferings Of
the shipwrecked men. Fortunately re-
lief was at hand, for soon afterward they
were observed by the crew of the Nor
wegian ship Helga, of Tonsberg, who
picked them up and kindly cared for
them. The shipwrecked sailors were
subsequently transferred, some to the
bark Magdalena and the others to the
bark Agatha, and all landed at Quebec.

A Veteran Publisher.

Among the inmates Of the ophthalmic
department of New York hospital is
man who has an exceedingly interesting
history. Forty years ago his name was
literally a household word in every Gull
tivated home in the United States, for it
was attached to magazine which justly
takes rank as the pioneer publication OF
first class American periodical literature.
The man in question is George Rex
Graham, the founder Of Grah0Bl's
Magazine, who was once also the chief
owner Of the Philadelphia North AD1eri-
can newspaper, who has twice made and
lost handsome fortunes, and who was
often the host of men who have occu-
pied exalted places, both at Harrisburg
and Washington. Blind, helpless, worn
out and subsisting on the generosity of
others, this poor old man, now more
than three score and ten, has for over
eighteen months past been waiting IN
the institution to have operations per-
formed on his eyes for the removal of
cataracts. Although writer of grace
and force, Mr.. Graham has never made
any pretence to be, strictly speaking,
a literary man, but he was q generous
employer and in many instances was
also the discoverer OF our best known
and greatest writer's. He was the first
American publisher to pay respectable
prices for literary wares. Bayard
Taylor, whose earliest poems he pub
lished, was amazed when Graham tend
cred him a S25 check for two poorly
priced poetic effusions. For his "Span-
ish Student" Longfellow received Sl59-
from Mr.. Graham, and for ''rhe Village
Blacksmith. $50. Fenimore Cooper
once called on him in answer to note
Graham wanted him to write ten nava
stories.
81 can't write for you" said Cooper,
rather contemptuously, adding, "You
can't pay me enough"
elbow much do you want for each
story ?" asked Graham.
"One hundred dollars-in advance,
was Cooper's reply, pausing before ut
tering the two last words as if he
thought they would end the matter.
Without moments hesitation Graham
wrote out and handed Cooper a check
for 81, 900. The stories were written and
published, but Mr.. Graham believes
they did his magazine no special good.
His fame as a large handed publisher
spread, however, and did him great
service. His friends told him his hber-
atty would ruin him. On the contrary,
it won him a fortune in few years, as
no confidently expected it would. Mr..
Graham lost his money in speculations.

Tho Gift Of the Vanderbilt.
HOW THE OLD ooNAioDoRE's OFFER, WAS
MISUNDERSTOOD AND ACTED UPON.

Nothing seems so welcome to the
people Just now as "reminiscences of the
late war. The passion and ill-feeling of
the contest have passed away, never to
return, but every one listens with in
creased interest to the authentic rela-
ton of incidents and events of the long
struggle. Mr.. J. @. Derby, the veteran
publisher of New York, contributes his
quota in his FIFTY Years among Au-
thors," recently given to the world.
During the war, while holding position
Of confidence in the State Department,
he was charged by Secretary Seward to
convey to the late Commodore Wander
bilt the thanks Of Congress for the "free
gift he had made to his imperiled coun-
try of his new and stanch steamboat
Vanderbilt, of 5000 tons burden, built
by him with the greatest care, of the
best materials, at a cost of $500, 900. "
The resolutions of thanks, superbly en-
crossed upon parchment and inclosed
in an elegant Frame were duly pre-
scented by Mr.. Derby.
The reception by the Commodore was
peculiar and characteristic. He read
them over carefully, then looked at the
official conveyor Of the same, and finally
broke into speech:
II never gave that ship to Congress.
When the Government was In great
straits for a suitable vessel of war, I
offered TO, give the ship if they did not
care TO buy it. However, Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr.. Welles think it was a gift, and
l suppose I shall have to let her 60"
Upon referring to the official letter,
offering the vessel to the Government,
Mr.. Seward found that the Commodore's
version was strictly correct. He offered
to sell her sat a valuation" and added,
in his bluff and of-band manner:
elf this will not answer, will the Gov
eminent except her as a present from
their humble servant"
This was only the Commodore's hearty
way of saying: 81 will not drive bar
gain with my country in her hour of
peril. Take the ship on your own
terms, gentlemen, or on no terms at
ALL" In the hurry and excitement of
the time the letter was misunderstood,
and the whole world was misinformed.
1t was a costly error to Commodore
Vanderbilt, but one which he probably
never regretted. York Ledger.

Gen. schofeld telegraphed to the War Dr.
partment the following dispatch, dated Fort
Bayard, from Gen. Crook, commanding the
Department Of Arizona; eight parties Of
troops are scouting after indians. The out
look ia verv bad, and the trouble will be ex-
ceedingly difficult to suppress"
Col. Yolllmar, of the Adiutant- Generals OF
fee, on duty in Washington, has been in sew
eral Indian campaigns in Arizona. Speaking
of the difficulties to be encountered IN the
present trouble he said; "Ihe country in
which the Indians are located is nothing but
mountains The indians separate themselves
into small bands, and in bare feet climb the
narrow paths leading up the sides They never
ride. Parties ascending these paths must so
in single file. The Indians having secreted
themselves in the lodges can prevent any
enemy from reaching them from below. They
are generally scattered and hidden on the
mountain sides, and it is as difficult to find
them as it is to get at them after they are dis
covered"

Fishy SuperstitiOns.

An immense shoal of fish lately went
ashore on the sandy beach of Kona,
Hawaii. The children regarded them
as kind of godsend, and began to
eagerly gather them up for home con-
sumption. The gray headed native vet
Grams, however. shook their heads In
superstitious horror and ordered the
children to desist, remembering a ira
dition of earlier times, before Captain
James Cook entered the harbor with
the Resolution. The tradition was to
the effect that the landing Of a shoal OF
fish portended the death Of an Ali, or
native chief.
The inhabitants on hearing of the
event, declared plainly that religious
scruples ought not to interfere with a
man getting all he can. Whether a
chief died or not, there was no sense in
wasting fresh fish. They might be the
messenger of evil fortune, but they were,
nevertheless, good to eat. Thereupon
everybody filled his basket full and left
the Old men to mourn over the degener-
acy of the times. It takes a good deal
of religion in the Sandwich Islands and
elsewhere to keep a man from laying
his hands on anything within reach
