genuine Cinnamon bear, though some

Indians caught her laet spring in the
Black Hills and presented her to Maj.

unsafe playmate for the children, she
was taken in charge by Capt. Marsh. Of
the steamer Josephine. She is, now
very fat, large and playful, and appears
completely tanned, so, that il is very
interesting to frolic with her and study
her native traits as improved by civili-
zation. There is remarkable fondness
between large black dog and this bear.

delights to make balieye that she is
biting her keeper, but is, very gentle
about it, never tearing his clothes or
using the strength Of her savage jaws.
She runs at liberty, on the deck, and is
about as fat and shaggy and saucy as
one will find, weighing probably about
IT'S pounds. Great intelligence is dis

Sailing BurrER. Who has not noted
the grains, and sometimes even Jumps
Of salt, in butter, often giving it disa-
greeable taste and appearance? The is
due to the practice Of sailing butter
before it is sichurned, the salt not getting
thoroughly dissolved. q The way to
remedy this, which We have practiced
for some time, is to salt the cream.
When the cream is put into the churn,
. sufficient quantity of salt is put into
it to render it quite salty. When the
butter is churnai and worked, it will be
found to be evenly salted, not q lump or
grain, of salt undissolved. Of course
muct of the salt put in the cream will
not remain in the butter, but will be
contained in the butter milk. And
here let me saynis one of its greatest
benefits. The butter milk. should be
ffedtoathe pigs. The salt in it is highly
beneficial to them. The pigs will be
healthier. will grow faster, and fatten
easier, for the salt they viii get in their
drink. 1t has been my experience, also,
that the meat Of pigs thus given qoan-
tity Of salt, is perceptably better favored.
1t is often very difficult to keep pork
from hurtiDgs but feed your pigs plenty
of salt, and when killed, the meat will
require less salt, and will never hurt.
! Iwonld say in conclusion, that. if you
wish nicely favored butter, salt, it be-
fore your churn it. We use about q
pint of salt to four gallons Of cream
Common salt that is pure, will dos.

unknown quantity, and the total is an insolu-
BILE problem.
If the plap of canal lettings had been
devised on purpose to put at inc ais
posal of politicians the entire revenue Oh tue
canals. and as much of the general fund OF the
State besides az the people could DO deluded
into paving, it would probably have taken
this very shape. Under such system millions
of dollars can DO stolen without any OF the
puiltv persons making themselves liable for
theft. Tho most stupendous swindling can be
perpetrated without the commission OF any tech
meal fraud. Commissioners, DIVISION Engineers,
Resident Engineers, Assistant Engineers, and
Contractors can all participate In the
outrage and divide the plumber with compare
tive safety. Take tho famous Dcnison con-
tract, for instance, which we printed the other
day. The quantity sheet says there are only
1900 cubic yard, of rock in this job. 100 yards
of puddling, and 5000 cubic yards of, vertical
wall. The bidder puts an enormous price
upon these items and yet as the quantities
are small the sum total is insignificant. Well,
it turns out that instead OF 1900 cubic
yards of rock there are $4,000; in
stead of 100 yards Of pudding there
are 8,34i; instead of 0,0O) cubic yards
of vertical wall there are 5000. On the other
hand, the quantity sheet specifies 1900 yards
Of slope and pavement wau. and the bidder
puts upon that very low price. He would
have lost money on that item; but as it
turns out there is no slope and pavement
wall at all. Now it may not be easy to
provo that the contractor and the engineer
were in collision. The officer who drew up
the quantity sheet will affect to be amazed
and disappointed at the error in bis estimates
will tell you that mistakes must happen and
then will go through the same process again.
Every one Of these contracts however carries
it's character SO plainly stamped upon its face,
every instance of dsproportionate and I'M
reasonable bidding is so clear an announce
ment of trickery, that it Is impossible, even II
we strain our crcdulity to the utmost, to inn
agine that the State officials can have acted in
good faith. No engineer with education
enough to measure q rectangular ten-acrc lot
could possibly make the stupenlous blum
| ders-if we arc to call them so-that
disfgure these estimates. And we
presume it will be discovered, as the investi-
cation goes on, that all the worst of the con-
tracts involve also distinct and deliberate
violations of law in the authorization of extra
work without any bidding, and in repeated,
systematic alteration of the terms of the
agreement. The disclosures are sill far from
complete; but there is at least fair prospect
that we shall get at the whole truth before
the present investigation comes to an enl ;
and when we do there will be q bad quarter
of an hour for some gentlemen at Albany who
have disgraced state politics quite too long.
