COMPRESSED FLoUR.-It is said
that a French chemist some time
since conceived the idea of subject
ing flour to pressure, for tie sake c {
economy in space in packing. In
order to test it's effect on the quail
ity of the article, he exposed a
quantity of -four 70 hydraulic pros
sure OF 500 tons, which reduced the
volume to fourth OF its original
bulk. On examination the -four
thus pressed, he found It's quality in
no wise impaired. In order to try
what effect tune would have on it,
he packed both pressed and un-
pressed in tin boxes, and scaled
them up. At the end Of three
months he examined both sorts aud
found that the pressed flour had
kept better than the impressed. lie
had portion OF each sort baked in
to bread, and The bread made from
the pressed -four showed a decided
superiority. After the lapse Of .
year he repeated the experiment,
and found that the Impressed -four
had turned bad, whilst the pressed
-four was fresh sud made excellent

THE StockhoIGer, Of New York,
an old conservative monitor Of f.

Of wealth and returning prosperity
in the United States. 1t says !:
"The signs Of growing wealth in
the United States are obvious, and
to those who have not studied the
matter, surprising" and goes on to
name these signs at considerable
length, the principal being the trans
fer of this wealth from fore, gn cred
itors to our own citizens; the in
creased volume of our agricultural
industries, living more from our
own resources, and the increased
tendency to speculative investment.

THE Marquette & Mackinac rail
road Is again being talked up. Mr..
James f. JOY, one of tic abIest rail
road men of the United States, Is
said to have something to DO with
the revival Of interest in the line. It
is reported that Vanderbilt talks of
pushing branch OF tie Michigan
Central on up to Mackiuaw City, on
the Straits, and that Mr.. Joy will
III connection extend the first named
road onward from the Straits to
Marquette. Well, let them come.
Those lines built, with an extension
from IAnse to Ontonagon, thence
to Ashland, Superior and the n, p.
Junction, would give an eastern
connection and south shore line
much to be desired. Wen yet see
great development in this country
if we only live long enough, there's

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
From the New Northwest.

From the New Northwest
| While the government is gravely
considering whether it is worth
while to allow its lands in the North
western territories to be made Of
any earthly use, by getting them
within reach of emf igraton and mar.
kets, through practicable lines of
transportation, the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company is quietly soly-
ing the problem on its own account;
pushing its line out into the now
desolate prairies, of Dakota aud
W ashington, awakening them to
life, and gathering their rIch capa-
bilities into the circle OF civilization.
In all this, it has, of course its com
merclal ends in view. But it is
none the less public benefactor.
Its work now IN progress, and to
be completed this year, will reach
mores than three million acres OF
land reserved by the government,
and increase its value from nothing
to $3.50 an acre. The country
gains $7,O00,000 by the operation.
And yet Congress has some doubt
whether it can allow thus to be
done; and session after session
postponea the reasonably small
boon of reasonably extending the
time originally allowed for building
the road, it is to be hoped, however,
that the bill introduced by Senator
Window, at the present session,
will be favorably considered and
passed.
Active operations have been in
itiated on the first hundred miles
west of Bismarck. Tie contract
ors have large force already on
the ground, at work on the grading
and bridging, and will increase it as
may be required for finishing that
portion of the road this season.
The next hundred miles west, ex-
tending to the Yellowstone, is be-
ing re surveyed and definitely loca-
ted, and will be put under contract
before the season closes.
A powerful transfer boat is being
constructed for the company, by
the Hamilton Brothers Of Mound
City, aud will be delivered at Bis
marck IN July, seasonabIy to take
over the balance Of the iron and
other materials, for the track and
It's superstructure. She Will then
be used to transfer the ears or traf-
fc Of the road, until such time as
the business warrants the heavy ex-
penditure required to construct a
bridge.
The company have purchased of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Ircn Company, $500 tons of
iron rails, for use on the Pacific
coast. They are now being shipped
around Cape Horn, to the CoIum-
bia river, up which they will be
transported to the vicinity of the
mouth OF the Snake rlYer, and be
laid down from thence eastward, as
the first section of the Lake Pend
d'Orieile Division, which will ex-
tend two hundred miles through
the high fertile plains of Eastern
! Washington.
The financial plan recently is
sued by the company, TO provide
means of constructing the road
from Bismarck to TIE Yellowstone

than half million dollars being
already positively assured. with cy-

Strange Death of a Dog.

Jack, an intelligent and valuable New toundland dog, owned by Thomas Pil- hngton. of Newark, N. J :, met his death in singular manner. He was a bitter enemy of cats, and he has been known to spring over an eight-foot fence after a feline that had tantaliZed him. When ever a cat concert was begun near his masters house Jack scattered the sere- naders without ceremony, and he was not only much prized by Mir Ellington. but was also a favorite with the neigh bors who, thanks to his enmity to the cat creation, enjoyed peaceful slumber. Mir. Ellington took Jack to the house of a friend, where he tied the dog to a piece of wood weighing about thirty pounds, in order to prevent his escape from the yard. In the evening the cats came from all the houses in the neigh borhood and perched on the fence close to the spot where their implacable enemy was secured. They seemed to know that Jack was tied fast, for they began an exultant serenade, and con tinued it until he howled with rage. He made several savage springs at the cats on the fence nearest to him, but he could not get loose from his fastenings. His tormentors continued to tantaliZe him in cat language until he became frantic. He tugged desperately at the chain that held him to the block of wood, and the serenading party seeing his helpless con dition then began such a noisy eater wauling that a dozen night-capped heads popped out of as many bedroom windows Bootjacks, sticks and crock cry were hurled at the cats. Meantime Jack, who had dragged the block of wood close to the fence, made desper- ate spring at big tomcat. He cleared the fence at the same instant that the cat disappeared in the adjoining yard, but he unfortunately had not calculated on the weight of the block of wood. The result was that poor Jack was suspended by his neck to the chain, which was firmly held to the block of wood on the other side of the fence. Before assist ance arrived Jack had slowly strangled to death The next day he was given a descent burial by his owner and friends. Itis said that he had saved three human lives

Peculiar People,

Most people, whatever their condition or race. are so homogeneous nowadays. through long exposure to the same in fiuences, that it is enlivening to hear of a people, even though they be savages, altogether different from the common. The natives of Botel-Tobago, an island in the China Sea, are curious and pecu- liar in most respects. They excited the wonder of a number of American naval officers, who recently visited them while surveying a rock east of the South Cape of Formosa These aboriginals, who are of Malay stock, knew nothing of money, and could not be made to un- derstand the object of its use. They had never tasted tobacco or rum, nor had they any substitutes for these. Never theless, the females liked anything and everything of an ornamental or decora- tive character. They admired brass buttons, tin vessels, or anything bright; freely gave goats and pigs for them, and could not get enough for their delecta- tion. Any shining object they were eager to obtain, and they would dive for button or coin if thrown into the water, and often seize it while it was sinking. They played in their canoes about the ship for hours, watching for an opportunity to dive for the (to them) precious trifes. The natives are as primitive as they can be. They wear only breech-clouts; they live on taro and vans; they have no other implements l than axes, spears and knives, made of | common iron; but the females employ i shells and the boards of goats for orna- ment.

Par Excellence.

The above refers to what Courtney's friends will say when they see the com pletion of his elegant establishment at B West Fayette street and 40 Clinton street, to be known as Courtney Placen The superb manner in which this popular caterer proposes to trans. form the place into a perfect palace of pleasure settles the point that it will take the front rank among anything ot it's kind in Central New York. The rooms are ample for all and will contain billiard tables of the latest and most ap- proved makes, modern furniture and fixtures, the very best imported wines, liquors and cigars, and lunches that will give the most fastidious epieure a clear case of up and up gout. But as we all remember theold-time lunches at Court ney's, it is needless to pursue the subject further. but wait for the opening which will be duly announced and well at tended, we will guarantee.
