A Glance at the FinerY.

Link sleeve buttons are fashionable
for gentlemen, and divide favor with the
large, square. round and oblong buttons
SO long in fashion. Hammered gold,
chased or Engraved gold, onyx, chryso-
lite, lapis laZuli and other semi-precious
stones are much liked, for these canoes
are worm, but are less stylish than intag-
lilo. and gems are only for full dress.
Silver jewelry grows more and more
popular and some exquisite workman
ship is exhibited in this direction.
Floral designs in silver, colored in va
riouS hues, are very effective-roses OF
satiny white, with green-hued leaves;
daisies, pure white with gold hearts:
calla-lillies, dark blue fluers de lis and
purplish anemones are among the pop
ular styles. Old designs in silver are
also sought after-owls, spiders, ser
penis, scorpions and beetles being some
of the fayorite eccentricities. Flexible
serpent bracelets are liked in silver as
well as in gold, and silver ornaments
are extremely effective on dark hair.
The hlagree work of the East Indians
and Chinese is beautifully copied by
American workmen; indeed, of late
years, America leads in the manufacture
of artistic silverware, and many of the
silver ornaments shown by our mer-
chants are marvels of cunning work
manship.
Rhinestone earrings are worn by
young ladies; as Rhinestones, not as inn
itation diamonds however, bearing the
same relation TO real gems that mire-
court and transeque do to genuine point
"a pretty and inexpensive substitute,
which makes no pretension to rival the
real article.

Welsh Servant Girls.

That any employment for women
should rank below that Of domestic serv-
ant in popular estimation is an idea
which strikes the American mind as
quite a novelty. An American girl will
10 almost ANYTHING rather than be a sery-
ant. 4 factory girl ranks in the United
States rs a far nor important member
Of society than adomestic servant. This
$ not the case in Wales, nor. | believe,
Il Great Britain generally. The servant
girl holds herself far higher in the social
scale than the tip-girl, or indeed any
other girl who works with her hands,
lnless it be the girl Sin business as
he phrase is. A girl ''in business" is
what Americans politely call a '~'sales-
lady,' though in Great Britain she is not
nirequently a seller of gin aud beer-in
,ther words, a barmaid. Barkeepers of
he masculine gender, it may be re-
marked by the way, are nearly unknown
n Wales, unless as an exotic Of Ameri-
ian origin. The masculine bartender of
America Is an outgrowth of pioneer
'oughness-a condition of society in
which pistols and bowie knives were
many, and women few. There is hardly
! better servant IN the world h a q really
good Welsh maid. She more nearly APP
oroaches the best French model than any
)ther | have known. Of course she has
not the training in certain polished GUS
oms which the French servant has, but
Ter dizziness, alacrity, and politeness are
equally great. The politeness of a serv-
mt to an employer is rs clean and fair a
hing as any politencss on earth. It's
lbsence is a great loss to both parties; in
American it is very generally absent. its
expression being thought %servility. The
,ervant in Wales who is not polite is
thought to be lacking in the social cul-
ure BETTING his or her station. The
wages Of servants, while very much be-
ow those common in the United States,
ne, as a rule, better than the earnings
If any other woman in their social plane.

How Ii Was Done.

INDIANoPoLIs, Ind, January 20
Horace Heffren, a prominent Demo.
cratic leader in the House of Represent
atives, who has recently been made the
subject of numerous attacks, because OF
his connection with the Sons of Liberty,
during the late war, has made a state
ment, bearing upon his connection with
that order, that contains some facts OF
interest, Notwithstanding their age. He
says that his commission was made out
as Major General in the Confederate
service, signed by Jefferson Davis as
President, and, with those of Dodd,
Milligan, Bowles, Parsey aud Humph.
reys, was brought from Richmond, by
the late Michael G. Bright, brother OF
Senator Jesse Bright, who was expelled
for treason, and father of the present
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. The
prisoners were defended by ex-senator
Mcdonald, and Heffren's father wrote
TO Mcdonald to plead insanity for Hor-
ace, claiming that he had been daft fol-
two years. But the younger Heffren
knew a trick worth two of that. He
secured n dismissal of the case against
him for want of evidence, and then went
on the stand for the Government in the
trials of the other defendants.

A Sure Preventive,

There seems at present no dispo-
sltion on the part of members of the
legislature to go any further han the
outside i'll the matter of preventing loss
of life by fire. Fire escapes and watch
men are the best remedy that can seem
ingly be coniured up in the legislative
brain, for preventing another horror
such as visited Milwaukee a few weeks
ago. The tendency is toward the usual
form of half baked laws which shall read
as well and mean as little as possible.
The only certain remedy is lodged as
carefully as though it was y contagious
disease. The word 'fire-proof" APP
pears to have 4 terror for legislators
which even the prospective loss of stat
ionary could not inspire.
Yet, drought this gate alone, can
perfect protection be secured. Positive
knowledge that no more fiery horrors
will vex the land with their lurid, blast
ing breath, Il only be secured when
the law steps in and says that every ho-
tel, or other building wherein any num-
Der of human beings are to be housed
or employed, shall be made fire-proof.
An exchange speaking of the proposed
legislative action says, I'm short it is
the primary duty of every body, in office
or out, to prevent CONGREGATIONS in the
first place" Then why not urge the
passing of a law providing that all ho-
tells hereafter built, shall be fire-proOf
when carried above the second story.
The same paper admits prevention is
better than cure What prevention is
more sure than the elimination of any
possible chance of buildings catching
fire.
The advantages of building fire-proof
buildings is strikingly set forth in the re-
port of the Superintendent Of the State
Asylum for Insane, wherein the follow
ing occur
Early on the morning of the seventh
of May a fire broke out in the clothes
shaft of the farther section of the female
wing. No harm resulted, however, as
these shafts had been recently rebuilt
of brick entire, making them absolut-
y fire-proof. This record is made more
to show the great necessity for making
at least all exposed parts of public in
situations fire-proof."

Worth Considering.

In another place we present the views
of n of the veteran hunters of the
county on the bounty question. Nat.
ually enough these views are Of a mos
radical nature, but what our correspon.
dent says is worthy of careful consid.
Grafton, especially as regards the boun-
~ on old wolves.
Ii is evident to those best ~acquaint-
ed with the subject that notwithstand-
the large amount of money paid out
each year in wolf bounties that animal
shows no sign of depletion. So appar-
emit has this become that open asser-
tons are made in different quarters that
wolf breeding is a popular industry.
The correspondence explanation of this
is worth careful attention. Bows and
what he terms ''scrub hunters start out
in the..spring, hoping to be lucky enough
to strike a batch of young wolves. They
are successful, the old ones make their
escape and having found the ''pups'' no
Hort is made by the finders to secure
them, and they are left to breed another
season. As the filters include anywhere
from six to nine, this breeding costs the
county and state from fifty-four to cigh-
ty-one dollars every year.
The remedy offered by the cores
pondcnt is an increase of the bounty on
old wolves to fifty dollars. This is un-
doubtedly too high. Twenty-Five dol
lars for the scalp of an old wolf is
ample and would achieve the same re-
suit as the higher bounty, The price
paid for pups should be lowered rather
than raised a dollar or two, and thus
reduce the temptation t o leave the old
ones to breed again.
The main dependence, as il cores
pondent clames, for the determination
of old wolves is in those who make a
business of hunting and have packs
OF we'll trained dogs for thati purpose,
and the inducement should be such as
would bring them a proper reward
for their work. A bounty of twenty
five dollars on old wolves would do this,
as well as interest others in their des-
truction. By this means these pests
would be exterminated and the yearly
drain to the treasury in time be stop
ped. As the bounties stand at present
no relief need be expected.

ON WOLVES.
The Views OF a Veteran Hunter ON the Best
Means Of DISCRIMINATING These Pests.

THE HERALD:-Please allow me,
through your columns, to state a few
facts, in connection with the bounty
question, now that the State and County
have the laws so strict that all men get
just what belongs to them, without any
fear of imposition, as each mar is
obliged to take his game. bodily, before
the Chairman of the town where it is
killed.
First; in regard to the wildcat. The
steady bounty on these animals, has
told the story of determination, and
very lew of them are left.
Second; the fox. This animal is quite
numerous. and is doing great mischief.
He not only steals poultry from the
farm, but will carry off, one at a time,
whole filters of pigs, carry off young
lambs-one-third grown; and this is not
the end of the mischief. He is clearing
the forest of all game birds-the pleas.
ant, the quail and pr~airie-chicken, and
all kinds of birds that nest on the ground.
And these sneaks are permitted to slip
along on the frail bounty of $500, de-
stroying more, in q single month, OF
young birds, than all hunters would,
who are now forbidden, under strong
penalties, of killing any of these birds,
except at certain seasons of the year.
Why not add $500 more to the fox
bounty, and wipe him out of existence
at once, and save the game of the forest?
Third; in regard TO young and old
wolves. Readers of THE HERALD, read
this article carefully. When the County
was but an infant, it and the State paid
$500, for each wolf scalp produced.
Now, it has ten times the population
and wealth ii had then, and the bounty
is squared down to nine dollars for pups
and twelve dollars for old wolves.
Gentlemen, as long as this bounty re-
mains so close, just so long there will be
wolves in Grant County. The question
is asked, Why? Because, as it now
stands, it only induces boys and scrub
hunters to ransack the hills. in time of
young pups, never capturing an old
wolf, and she slips through to another
year, and brings out another litter.
Right here comes in the so-much-talked-
Of wolf-breeding. Then, the regular
hunter is accused of breeding wolves.
1t is true, that when he hears of, A, Il,
or c, catching a batch of pups, he leaves
that locality Immediately. Why? He
says. let everybody run, their own, old
wolves. So long as they have the pups,
there is nc money left, for the regular
hunter. Now, suppose that old pair
we're worth fifty dollars each. Do you
suppose that the regular hunter would
not readily + yforthem? Yes; and if one
was captured. in a week, he would do
well enough. The way to kill young
wolves, is to kill the old ones first; so,
then send up the bounty to fifty dollars,
and induce regular hunters to take hold.
My suggestions are these; That the
bounty, on the fox, be made five dol
lars; the bounty, IN young wolves, be
made ten dollars; and the bounty, on
old wolves, fifty dollars.
