Tiappiug grizzlies, oajs'omf and Stream, has its perils smd excitements also. The trap emploed is of the double-spring pattern, with steel jaws,and -weighs complete 38 pounds. The springs are very pov.orful and have to be bent with levern. It ii quite an art to set and place a trap cunningly, and trapperh vary in their methods .and are chary ol explaining them. I will then pass this branch of the subject, Let ns suppose, therefore, that the hunter lias made his camp in a neighborhood lcdoleni of grizzlies, and that he has his traps set in a likely place for bear. At the end of the trap chain is a ring about five inches in diameter, and this is driven about half a foot over the end of a heavy stick or log five inches through and six or eight feet long. The object of this 'clog," "a.s it is called, is to make a trail which can bo readily followed, and to hamper the bear sufficiently to prevent his going to a great distance away before the hunter can arrive. Great care mast be taken that the chain be fastened to the extreme end of the log in such a way that it cannot get across two trees, and so give the brute a chance to use his enormous strength to tear himself loose. Neither must the clog be too large and heavy, or tho tame result will follow. It may be accept ed as a maxim that a grizzly caught in such a trap will eventually get loose, and ordinarily in a few hours. He is generally caught by the ex tremity of the forepaw, just above the claws; the hold on him is not very great; his exertions to get away are tremendous, and result in so cut ting and lacerating the foot that sooner or later he will tear out of the trap altogether. Two grizzlies that I caught got away; one, who was prob ably taken by the claws alone, leaving some hair only to tell the tale; the other leaving a small piece of his foot as a souvenir. Many had all but torn themselves loose. In one case the foot was almost cut through, and only a small piece of skin the thickness of a man's little finger remained to hold the tejribly infuriated monster to the much-detested clog. The traps are set back in dense and gloomy forests near the tangled swiimps, where jjrizzlies love to make their lair. The ground is covered with fallen timber, and travel must be afoot and is alow and difficult. The bear, on being caught, starts off on a tremendous rush for the swamp, which is close by. Here he catches on a rotten log for a second and plows a path through wide enough for a carl; there he hangs on two fallen trees fifty feet long, but he hangs for an in stant only, moves the tree to one side and rushes on. Noxt he strikes against a tree, and in his rage turns and eats the whole side of it, leaving the fresh white pine red with blood ' stains from his gums. Now he reach es the "swamp and plunges deep into its recesses, venting his rage on the balsams and. poplars, absolutely chew ing down saplings, and even gnawing them into lengths like stove wood. All this time he is slowly but -study tearing.his foot loose from the trap, and surely but not slowly he is work ing himself up into the most tremen dous degree of rage and ferocity. When you have thus trapped a thousand-pound grizzly you have not caught a bear; you have simply caught the devil incarnate! Indeed, the question sometimes is whether you have caught the bear, or whether you have not given Iiim a first-class op portunity to catch you! Now lot us seehow this is. The grizzly thus caught, and thus worked up into tho most formidable ferocity, has to be followed up afoot, first through a denBe forest, and then carefully and laboriously into the heart of a tan gled swamp, where one cannot see ten steps ahead, and where, if the monster should suddenly rise direct ly in front and oharge, trap, clog and all, refreat would be abBolutety im possibla Add to this that at tho time of the hunter's arrival the bear may have just succeeded in, tearing his foot loose,. or may have just managed to break his chain, or may have just finished eating up the clog bodily, all of which things have happened in my experience. He would then be in a beautiful state of frenzy, and would be perfectly delighted to wipe out a hunter or two if only to quiet down his nerves. How a Lady oawer Acted. Joaquin Miller writes from Wash ington to the Philadelphia Press: "She came -with a whirr, a snap, con sciousness and'self-assertion that at once was a sort of ohallenge to battle. "She ran around among the ohairs and tables and men like a little speckled hen that had lost her last little chicken. "Tnen she fluttered down beside the clerk, slammed down somo books, and saying, 4I am here to make a speech this morning,' proceeded to unroll papers and write furiously. "The chairman'called to order, the lady lawyer was at once on her feet, and, shouting out her purpose to be heard on the momentous Mormon question, on motion of some one, fif teen minutes was alloted for her speech. Catching up her books, bag nd manuscript, hastening to the far end of the room, and laying down the papers, she crossed her pretty hands and looked at ua tranquilly, trium phantly, a long time under ner gold rimmed glasses. This woman, famous in the annals of this city, standing there with folded hands, had it all her own way at onoe. She was pret- S to, begin with. No bangs, no friz es, no foolishness at all, in dress or address. Her heavy gray hair was combed back in the old chaste fash ion, and .showed a splendid brow and fine, earnest f&ee All leaned for ward and listened eagerly as she be gan, and a3 she went on for the iirst few mmuteS'her English, her articu lation, Tier elocution, all seemed per fect I doufetrif any man in congress couldimse better language, or use it with ftoregraoe and precision. For the first' fifteen .minutes no man oYedor'spbke,Tut at twenty min vtes she began to f ailj flounder about cad blander. Ski had'forgotten her piece. And then, poor dear, she had undertaken to settle tho whole stu pendous Mormon question, the mor ality and immorality of it, to expouud the constitution, compare congress to King George, all in fifteen minutes!" Cu'ur d'Alene Nujxets. Tin best trail at present is the Trout creek, though other claimants are liable to have the preference at any time. Probablj not less than 10,000 changes hands daily at the different faro games. The banks were loosers at first, but are winning now. "Keno" bus been iutroduoed by tho enterprising proprietors of "The Com tock," nud the mellifluous cry apd re sponse nightly startle the classic air of Placer street Town property is in groat demand and is soiling at booming prices; lots bringing from 200 to 2,000, and of fers of 310,000 have been rejected for one or two established business hous-, es. Postage ritampri sell at the rate of six or eight for twenty-five cents, and, oases are not rare of two or three ! bringing fifty cents. There is a great j scarcity, no one seeming to havej thought to lay in a supply. j W. H. Allen, an old Virginia City I speculator, was the first man to die at Eagle. In his day he had been worth half a milion and traveled in Europe. He was a 32d degree mem ber of the Scottish Rite Masons. Stoes and windows are the highest priced commodities in camp. Sibley stoves, only a conical piece of sheet iron, bring from S30 to S40. Sheet iron box stoves are from $20 to 880, and any sort of an ordinary cooking stove brings from 875 to $150. Dr. Campbell has a claim three miles below Eagle, with lines of sluices set on the bedrock. He worked the claim about two weeks last fall, and is authority for the statement that it paid ten dollars per day to the man, and will pay twenty dollars to the man as soon as a drain ditch is cut. An enterprising baker put up a furnace above town, and got his first batch of bread in the oven just as a pine tree was cut, which fell on the oven and furnace, completely crush ing it. The matter was compromised, however, by the luckless woodchop pes handing over 875 as damages for the injury caused. The largest nugget known to have been taken from the mines was picked up on the Wyant claim. It is said to have weigned about $140. Several have been found weighing from 820 to 351, and specimens worth from $3 to 85 are frequently seen. All the gold is very "coarse, and no quick silver is used in saving it. A good many consider the polar system a mistake. If patients throughout the land were allowed to go wherever the wished in special steuets fitted out for them at gov ernment expense, the increase of in sauity would be something appalling. The general belief among unscientific people seems to be that the Arctic mania is simply a desperate resort for achieving notoriety. Now, if the victims of this fatal ambition were confined in some well-guarded asy lum instead of being shipped to the north pole, it would be infinitely bet ter for them, although, perhaps, a disappointment to the newspapers and a few polar bears. By allowing them to sleep in the ice house and limiting their diet to decayed meat and old boots, they could freeze a ; few noses and feet, develop a fair' amount of scurvy and consumption, and, in fact, experience many of the delights of Arotic travel, with the im mense advantage of being able to givp it up when they had had enough. Charles Barrett, of Ashbnrnham, Mass., is 90 years old. In 1816, when he was 53 years old, he insured for S1.000 in one of the best-known life insurance companies. The policy was I payable at death only, but within a few days Mr. Barrett has received from the company a oheok for the full , amount of the policy, together with the dividend for the current year. ' In transmitting the check the presi dent of the company writes that Mr. Barrett is the only member of that company who ever outlived the mor-' tality table, and that there has not been a similar instance of longevity in anv other company in this coun- j try. General Sherman, at a recent ban quet in St Louis, said: "The west is obliterated from our geography, and our country is divided like a great army into a right, center and left. The right east of the Alleghanies, the center embracing the valley of the Mississippi and tributaries, and the left the country west of the Bockies." And Sherman might have added that in national legislation the Pacifio states justify their claim to his title by getting left with great regularity. 'Hatched, matched, dispatched," was a sufficiently flippant paraphrase of "born, married, died," but it was reserved for an Australian journal, the Melbourne Bulletin, to suffuse the simple record with sentiment, and under the general heading of "The Garden of Life," to enumerate "Buds," "Blossoms," and "Cypress." 5ot Particle. Mr. Louis K. Hall, Washington D. C, states that he suffered agonizing tortures and could hardly bend or straighten himself. Two applica tions of St Jacobs Oil, the wonder ful pain-cure, cured Mm and he has not had a particle of the old pain since. Gr..A.STINSON & CO., BLACKSMITHING, At Capt.
