IMMENSE Docks AT THE NORTHERN Pa

Ashland telegram of late date reads as
follows MIR. s. 5. Barr, superintendent
Of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore Il West
ern Railroad Company's ore docks. ar-
rived in the city last Tuesday evening
to take charge of the work of letting the

40 feet high. There will be pa pockets,
with a capacity of 5000 tons of ore. IL

ing gear and steel spo1ts will be used.
The superstructure will rest upon over
1000 piles, forming dock basin which

Packing Butter In Brine.

Chicago journal.
A method of packing butter for its
more perfect preservation, and one which
is very effective, has long been in use in
England. 1t has been recommended in
this country, but has not been adopted
30 far as we know. 1t is to pack the
butter in cylindrical bags of muslin,
which are put in a mold for the purpose.
These bags hold about two pounds, and
when filled are tied tightly and packed
away in brine, in tubs, pals or casks, and
are headed up just as picked pork Is.
The butter viii absorb mt more salt, is
perfectly free from atmospheric ID
ure, is developed in an antiseptic fluid,
and is therefore entirely safe from
change, excepting so far as this may oc-
cur internally from within by the natur-
al process called ripening, and which is
due to the change of the milk sugar
(~actose) in the butter into the milk Qac-
tics) acid, this into b~unyric acid by a
well understood chemical transforma-
tior of the elements. But this change
goes on so slowly that the butter merely
acquires a high and agreeable favor, and
no strong scent or taste is developed
which would approach rancidity.

In His Wife's Pocket.

A fire broke out in a dwelling house
the other night, and after the man and
his wife had safely reached the street,
the latter said that there was $50 In the
pocket of her dress which was hanging
in a second story back room.
"Ill go for it," said the husband, and
he plunged into the burning.
The flames ragged ~furiously and the
man did not return. At the expiration
of an hour the fire was extinguished and
the back building caved. Fireman crop,
ed their way up the rear stairs through
water and binding smoke, and found the
man In the closet still fumbling at his
wife's dress, looking for the money.
He was nearly suffocated with smoke,
but had strength enough TO say that he
thought he had found the pocket inside
of two hours. 1t never occurred to him
to seize the dress and rush out with that.
Some men get 80 excited and in the time

contract-to the effect that the ~cityagreed
to issue to the plaintiff certificates of
assessments against the owners Of abut-
ting lots" and il will be assumed if tho
power to make the assessments existed,
that the plaintiff could collect the amount
due him from the owners, and that he
agreed to take such certificates as pay
ment in 90 far as the defendent was cen.
cerned. 1t may be said that the
defendant did not in terms agree to pay,
but it contracted and the work was done
for a compensation fixed by the city and
to its satisfaction under an assumed
power, that the expense could be assessed
as a charge on the abutting owner, and
in substance both parties contemplated
payment should be made in a certain
manner or out of q designated fund. The
plaintiff cannot be so paid. The defen-
dant had no claim or demand against the
abutting owner, or the power to create
the fund, and yet it contracted it had.
In White VS.. Smell 3 Pick 425 the de-
PENDANT promised to pay the plaintiff
one hundred dollars, =" to be paid when l
against said Sherman toward the land
where l now live, to be paid when recov-
cred of said Shearman, with interest from
this date, and it was held that if it was
established the defendant had no demands
against Sherman, the plaintiff was en-
titled to recover. When the city admitted
the existence of a debt, and issued certiti.
Gates to the end that the plaintiff could
be paid out of a particular fund created
by the city. it must be assumed 1t guar
anteed, or by implication con-
tracted, that such fund existed, or
that it had taken and had its
power to take the steps necessary to
create such fund. Now, when it turns
out that there was no such fund, and
that the power to create it did not exist,
it seems to us that the city should not
and cannot escape all liability under the
contract, and it has been so held: Kear-
ney VS.. City of Covington, IL; Bush, KY,
$3.50; Sleeper VS.. Bullen, 6 Kan, 2SS;
Maher VS.. City of Chicago, 3S Ills, 266.
See also l Dillon's municipal corpora
tions, sections 480, 4S1, 492 (3rd ed,)
and authorities cited in notes.
There is a class of cases which hold in
Substance that, when the powers of a
municipal corporation are defined in the
charter, or a statute, that persons con-
tracing with the corporation are bound
to bound to know the extent and charac-
ter of such powers, and therefore deal
with the corporate authorities at their
peril. Craycraft VS.. Selvage, 10 Bush

Barb 427. Conceding the correctness of
these cases. we do not think they have
any application to the case at bar. For
If the plaintiff had looked at the statute,
he would have ascertained that the city
had the power to grade its street
and pay herefor out of the
general fund, AND that it did
not have the power to make an assess
ment on the abutting owner, and we
think he had the right to conclude that
the city would and was bound as no as
sessment could be lawfully made to pay
him but out the general fund. The de-
murrer should have been overruled. Re-

The C1ur d'Aiene Region.

From the Denver News.
A gentleman who has recently returned
from the Occur 6'Alenr district says that
there is very much bitter feeling felt
there against the western papers for the
treatment which the district has received
at their hands. He also prophecies that
the district will become a large producer
IN 1885, and this admission that it will do
nothing great in 1884, is sufficient evil
dence of the value of the section.
The western papers have simply treat
ed the district fairly from the evidence
presented. The wild and wondrous tales
told have not been substantiated, and will
most probably never be. There was too
much talk about the mines, too much of
an early rush and too little gold. Another
recently returned gentleman says of the
tendency to exaggeration
swell, sir, every bunch of willows is a
mighty forest, every frog pond a SYLVAN
lake, every ravine a roaring river, every
ridge of rocks a gold mine, every town a
county seat and every man a liar"
