Over Niagara Falls.

Early last Sunday morning Carlisle d.
Graham, the Philadelphia cooper, went
over the center of the Horseshoe falls in
his barrel-boat and twenty-five minutes
later, was picked up comparatively un-
harmed in the eddy below the falls. His
barrel was beaten and wrenched somewhat,
but was still water tight and perhaps in a
condition to 90 over the tails again. About
fifty people witnessed the feat, which, IN
order to avoid arrest, was conducted very
quietly.
At midnight the barrel and Graham were
taken across the upper suspension bridge
in a hack, driven by Andrew Horn, and
brought around to the mouth of Chippewa
creek on the Canadian side. two miles
above the falls. There they wero joined
Gerry K. Staley, who rowed down from
the village of Lasalle in boat, and tOwed
the barrel about 800 yards from the shore,
where, at Gas o'clock, it was let go. A
20-foot rope drag was on behind and 100
pounds of railroad iron was attached to the
bottom of the barrel to keep it upright
Graham was doubled up on top of two
thirty pound bags of sand and had both
legs and arms thrust through the same
loop, his head being bent down between
his knees.
The barrel rode to the brink of the falls
in twenty five minutes, going over at 7:10
o'clock After being submerged minute
and half it came to the surface forty
yards below the falls. 1t foated about for
twenty-five minutes longer, when Almer
Jones swan out and towed it ashore with
the remnants of the drap-rope. The man
hole had been padlocked from the outside
and the bars were so much wrenched that
they had to be cut off. Graham was drag
ged out in fainting condition, the foul,
confined air and several hard blows on the
head, while going through the upper rap
ids, having knocked him out. He was
soon restored and, excepting few bruises,
was uniLjured. He says that he is salts
fed and does not care for any more barrel
glory He will never enter barrel again.

inches in diameter at the ends and 40 inch
es in the middle. 1t looked almost too
small for a man to enter. 1t was built of
Chinese tulip in Buffalo about four weeks
ago, and is the one used by him in going
through the rapids last Sunday. The
hoops are 2-inch bar iron and the heads
heavily riYeted.
Graham is native of Wilmington, Del,
and is sc years Of age. He has been con
Quoting his pet barrel scheme for three
years; though he was famous shooter of
rapids before that, having first gone over
the Sioux rapids in dug-out canoe, in
1871. He will probably travel with dime

Gunton-the former assailing Trusts and
the latter defending them. The debate

verging upon personalities Both men are
good takers, but DIR. GLADDEN. was the vic

WEAK and careless legislation is bring
ing our State Legislature into disrepute-
as witness the license and assessment law
muddles. The trouble is, we think, that
there are too many legislators-two hun
dred and fifty members is too large body
of men for each one to feel the response
bility he should. The lower House might
be reduced by half, with advantage to the
State, but it will take a Constitutional
Amendment to do it; and if increasing the
pay will improve the personnel of the del
egations, particularly of those from the
large towns, the sooner it is done the bet
ter. The whole code of Pennsylvania
seems to need thorough overhauling,
but it will never be done, and done right,
by thousand dollar a-year men.

As AN illustration Of how habits will
grow on man the case of an Italian in a
Philadelphia iron mill, is quite to the
point. The man began by absentminded-
ly putting iron filings in his mouth After
awhile he ate them because he liked them.
The appetite grew and he took to eating
tacks, then nails, then rivits, then bolts.
Now his regular diet consists of pig iron,
seasoned with muriatic acid. \ habit may
be likened unto a pig, which seems to be
clean and pretty, and rather cute at first.
But it soon grows into a repulsiye old
hog.
