Winter Life i'm the Northwest.

1t is droll to see the transformation in
the street scenes after the cold weather
sets in, says st. Paul letter. Every
body who has much to do out of doors
wears fur great coat coming down to
his heels. Buffalo skin is the common
material, but almost every animal capa-
ble of furnishing a furry cuticle is
brought into requisition. One must be
an expert in furs to recognize them ALL
There are bear-skin coats, wolf-skin
coats, fox-skin coats, lynx-skin coats,
seal-skin coats, otter-skin coats and even
dog.skin coats. The furry procession
that moves downtown of cold morning
is curious sight to stranger from a
less rigid cline. He might we'll imagine
that menagerie had broken loose aud
that the animals had adopted the biped
stvle of locomotiou. The illusion is
increased by the huge fur caps and
enormous fur mittens worn.

A Notable Gathering.

At Christmas dinner, q short dis
tance from Boston, there were seated
around the table seventeen persons, each
related to the others, whose ancestors all
arrived in this country between the
years 1920 and 1880, and landed within
twenty-five miles of the place where the
family gathering occurred. OF the COM
pany assembled two were descendants
of Gov. Endicott, seven descendants cf
Roger CoIant, eleven descendants of
Madam Margaret Lake, sister of the
wife of Gov. John Winthrop the second;
three descendants of Peregrine White,
the first white child born in the colony :
live descendants of John Alden, one de-
scendant of Elder Brewster and eleven
descendants of Capt. John Gallop, who,
Cooper in his "Naval History" says.
fought the first American naval battle.
He MET HM-A California Sheriff
started out in his buggy few days ago
to capture desperate. On the way he
met man who asked for a ride. As
they were riding together the Sheriff
told the man his mission and offered
him SIS if he would get the despe,. ado
drunk. The man consented, took the
IS, and went off to perform his task.
Next day the Sheriff wanted to kick
himself when he learned that the man
to whom he had given the money was
the desperate himself, who probably
got drunk in due form, but was careful
to keep out of the Sheriff's way.

Range Cattle sor Ch.oago.

CHICAGO. April ia drove of range
cattle from Walla Walla, w. T.. arrived
at the stock yards yesterday. There
were $50 in the drove. They averaged
a trife over 1924 pounds. The train
was started from Walla Walla on the
31st of March and reached Chicago on
the 10th of April, being eleven days on
the road. They were rallied from 2,200
to 1900 miles and were reloaded and
rested five times. The owners said they
were well satisfied with the venture.
The only mistake was that the cattle
were rather larger and older than was
useful for the trade carried on in Chi
cago. Although no great amount of
profit was realized there was no great
loss, and as an experimental shipment,
taken altogether, it was success. The
animals were carried over four great
railways and the mortality was only
one animal. The cattle were bought
for the dressed beef trade.

ST. PETERsBURG.-The journal de 81.
Petersburg, speaking evidently by Of

cent government utterances in the Brit
ish Parliament upon the Penjdeh Einci-
cident as premature. 1t says it thinks
it would be preferable for the English
Ministers to have suspended judgment
until the receipt of more complete in
formation. They should have acted on
the supposition that it was unlikely that
Russian generals acquainted with the
intentions OF the Russian government
would have acted without good reason.
They should have borne in mind that
collisions such as that which occurred
on the KuShka are always possible in
the presence of violent and undiscip-
ineo Asiatic populations. The Penjdeh
incident, concludes the Journal, was
certainly an untoward event because it
may adversely affect the negotiations
between Russia and EnglandEwhich still
justify hope for peace. The war feel

astic over the news from Penideh, on

and presented series of resolu-
tons, earnestly requesting him,
at his earliest convenience, to

For War.

BRUSSELS, April LIE Nord, the most
rabid pro-Russian newspaper in Bel
GUM, now predicts war between Russia
and England. lie Nord is regarded as
the semi-official organ of the Russian
government, and this article is believed
TO have been inspired. The paper has
hitherto expressed sanguine hopes of
peace, but it now says war is impend-
ing. 1t says the open threats and
insults to Russia contained in the toasts
of Ameer Abdurrahman and Lord
Dufferin were equivalent to declara-
ton of war, even while England was
appealing for Cancellation.

tricts, The utmost secresy is main

ascertained that number of detach-
ments have already left on the route to
Quettah. News has been received from
Odessa, by way of Varna, that the
transport services on the Black Sea are
busily absorbed IN the work of carving
troops and munitions of war from Sc
bastopol and Nieckaloof, Batoum and

Not all LOYALTY.

LONDON, April 11.-Recent mail adj
vices from India differ significantly
from the official kilograms recently re-
ceived concerning the loyalty to Eng
land of the native chiefs and people
The official dispatches, it is seen, have
been unwarrantably rose-colored. They
have, without exception, declared that
the Indian Princes were impatient to
display their loyalty to England,
by rushing to battle against the
Russians. The mail advices materially
modify the expectations engendered by
the official kilograms, and indicate that
there is feeling existing pretty gen
orally among the Indians which, under
certain circumstances, might prove
anything but advantageous to the Brit
ish prestige in India in the event of a
stubborn and prolonged Anglo-Russian
conflict. The native Indian press is
nearly unanimous in favor of war, but
a careful observer can discern in this
newspaper advocacy of war. wherever
it is unhampered,m more of a nationalIn
dian feeling of resistance to Russian
aggression than of sincere loyalty to
the purely British interest.

they would have to proceed so slowly.
The Nile, he says, is not nav:gable from
MarcL to July, and, deprived of water
transportation, the soldiers would have
to march along the river banks, over
mountain-spurs, bare rocks and shelter
less bluffs, under a sun that would be
simply destructive.
