A SPECIAL telegram sent out from
Chicago says the Princess Eulalie,
upon her return home, will introduce
into the royal wardrobes of Europe a
peculiar product of an American in.
vention. A dress of glass will be
woven especially for the Princess at
the works on Plaisance. The material
is made from a warp of silk woven in
with q body of spun glass, so delicate
in texture that it is as pliable as the
softest silk. The process was invented
but recently, and none of the peculiar
fabric has yet been put upon the
market except in small articles, such
as neckties, and these only as SOU
venirs. The works on the Plaisance,
when completed, will cost about
$1,000. 1t will be presented to her by
the glass works, and will be taken to
Spain for the especial delight of the
courtiers at home.

THERE is general idea that the
Presidents salary OF $4,000 a year is
all that he receives. This is a mis-
take. In addition to his salary, the
President recei yes $36,O64 to pay the
salaries OF his clerks and subordinates
His private secretary has $3,250, his
assistant secretary $2.250, the steno-
grapher gets 81 800, each of five mes
sengers $1,000, the steward $500,
each OF the two doorkeepers $1,000,
while other employees are paid in pro.
portion, down to the man who takes
care of the fires, who receives 1864.
In addition, 5000 is allowed for Incl.
dentals, such as stationery and car
pets, $l2 500 for repairs and refurnish-
ing, $500 for fuel, $4,000 for the
greenhouse and $4,000 for the stable,
gas and other incidentals. In all, the
President and his house cost the coun.
try over $125,OOO.

A HUNTERS PARADISE.

While it might seem to one un-
acquainted with the dense fore SITS, and
almost impenetrable ,hickets sur
rounding the farms and cities OF Wes-
tern Washington, that to find bear
in the pathway, or start herd of deer
on the border of a clearing, would be
an indication of the backwoods condi-
ton of society and a. lack OF civiliza-
ton generally, yet i. is not safe to
jump at conclusions. Only last No
vember, US92), a bear was killed on
the corner of Monte Cristo avenue and
Broadway, in the City OF Everett.
Now the smelter, barge works,
school house and residences are To-
Gated in the vicinity of the spot where
the bear was slain only few months
ago.
There are a few hunters, profession
ais, so to speak, who have followed the
elk in the fastness of the Olympics,
fought the grizzly in his den, treed
the black bear with their hounds, and
surprised the beautiful deer of Wash
ington by the lake shore. Among
these are the Marshall boys and James
Appleton, who reside in Everett and
have pack OF trained hounds. On
the tenth of April last, (1S93,) II. II.
and Charles Marshall and James Ap.
pleton were hunting bear about three
miles south of Everett with q pack of
trained dogs. When the hunters
came up, a large bear was forty feet
up tree, with the pack baying furi-
ously at the foot. Old Brrin deter
mined to come down, and when about
twenty feet from the ground lost his
hold and fell. The dogs made it so
uncomfortable for him that he rushed
up the nearest tree with the dogs
nipping his hind legs ut every jump.
A forty-ive Winchester rifle ball in
the neck put and end to the chase.
The hide, valued at $35, was taken
from the carcass, which weighed 400
pounds. These shree hunters have
killed. in the past year, thirty-nine
bears, thirt-ytive beaver. twenty-iour
mink, and in December last shot
twenty deer. l.. L. Bales, a neighbor,
killed one bear and twenty-five beaver.
Bears are very fond OF skunk cabbage
and they emerge from the heavy tim
ber to feed on this vegetable in the
open swamy lands, where they are
sighted and often killed without the
use OF dogs. The principal fur bear
ing animals left in this section of the
State are beaver and mink: once in q
while an otter is taken. Altogether
the sportsman may safely say this is
"a hunters paradise"

GEORGE Peterson, the proprietor OF

pho loved and sung, and is little
eccentric in matters OF the heart. The
other afternoon Miss White, daughter
OF Captain White of the police force,
accompanied by young lady friend,
passed his store. Peterson rushed out
after her and, at the muzzle of a re-
volver. forced her to enter his store
and take seat. The young lady had
nothing else to do, of course, but obey
command, followed by her companion.
No violence was offered. however, and
an alarm was given by number Of
eye-witnesses of the outrage, and
Peterson was soon after placed under
arrest.

Beginning with the failure OF the
Barings, now almost three years ago,
times have been steadily growing
worse and worse in this country, until
now the cry of "hard times" means
something besides the wall of the pes
simist or the plant Of the pauper.
Business is dull, collections are
difficult, money is scarce, and there is
a general tightening up along the
whole line, in the financial, &C MINER
cial, manufacturing and laboring
world. Men are idle, business men
are hampered, if not crippled, and
capital is timid.
What is the cause of it3 The BIZ
metalists lay it all to our silver legis-
lation, and the mono-metalists do the
same; but both reason from the same
premises and draw different conclu-
sions. Both cannot be right. The
fact probably is both are partially
wrong, and that the real reason is
simply this: We are a young nation,
and have been a borrowing nation.
The tightening of the money market
in Europe anent the Barring trouble
caused millions of dollars worth OF
our railroad and other bonds which
were held abroad, to be returned,
thus causing heavy drain of money
across the seas.
Again, we had number of years Of
great prosperity. Every industry,
every branch of trade had been pros
porous. This brought on over-produc-
ton, initiation and extravaganza.
And these causes are now bearing
their legitimate fruits, just as the hill
arity of the drunkard is followed by a
general collapse OF the system.
But the signs are better. The bot
tom, let us hope, has been reached,
and in few months at most times
will brighten up, money will come out
of its hiding places, the crippled in
stitutions will be put out of the way, a
season of general prosperity will fol-
low and all will be well.
OF course, history repeats itself, and
this coming time of prosperity will, in
turn, be followed by another collapse.
But, as Haggard Gays, that is another
story, and let us hope it will not be
told until told by another generation.

AN unknown man was drowned at
the mouth of Sheep creek, in Stevens
county. Three men rode up to the
creek, and one of them dismounted,
undressed and jumped in. The other
two were heard soon after shouting
for help. They watched their partner
drown, then turned their horses back
TO Little Dalles, and nothing more has
been heard OF them. The drowned
mans clothes were found where he
had left them, but the body has not
yet been recovered.
