The decision of the supreme court i regard to street filling ia ono of the great cst moment to this city as under this decision cision is involved a large amount of worl done during this fall and winter and as sosBod against abutting property. B , this decision the city is liable for thi work , In March a uow law was wo pasaod , so that the work done since the : is not affected directly by this decision The following ii the decision of the au promo court in the case of Henry Bee croft , appellant vs. the city of Oounci Bluffs , on an appeal from the distric court : The petition states that the dofondan passed an ordinance providing that al call charges for the improvement o atroota and alloys should bo assosso < against the rospotivo owners and lot fronting on the or alloy improved , am colloccod as provided in sections 478 am 479 of the code , and thereafter passed i resolution providing for a chang of the former grade of about fou foot , by filling certain described street preparatory to paving. That the respective spoctivo owners of the lots failed to d ( the required work , and the dofondaul lot the same to the plaintilF , who die the grading to the satisfaction of the defendant fondant , and the name was accepted by it and the amount due under the contracl was ascertained by the city. That undoi the contract the city agreed to issue cor ciUud of abaossmont against the owner of abutting property forlho amount dui the plaintiff , and did so. Tha the plaintiff demanded paymonl of said owners , but that the ; wholly failed and refused to pay the same That the defendant had no power o ; authority to assess the cost of gcadinp atroota against the lota or owners thereof and therefore judgmontwas asked againsl the city. To the petition there was i demurer on the grounds which are sufli ciontly indicated in the opinion. The demurrer was sustained and the plaintiff appeals. SCOTT & STEWATCP , for appellant , W. S MA.YNE , for appellee. Soovora J. I The allegation that the city had no powoi to make the assessment is a legal conclu siou which cannot bo regarded aa ad milled unless the facts pleaded warrant such conclusion , and this must bo deter mined by ascertaining whether thi requisite power has been conferred or the city by statute , as it is not claimed the charter does so. Them is some ambiguity in the ordi nance , but for the purposes of this case it will bo conceded the ordinance pro vides that the charges wore such as art 'contemplated by sections 4GO , 4C7 anc 4G8 of the code , and chapter 51 of th < acts of the fifteenth general assembly , ' McClain's code page 110. The ordi nance further provides that such charge ; "shall ba determined and assessed agains the respective owners of lots and land fronting on the street , highway or alloy and collected as provided in sections 47i arid 479 of the code. " Chapter 61 of the acts of the Fifteentl general assembly has rcforonro alone t < the improvement of alloys , ore therefon a consideration of its provisions is not re quired , and this is true as to sections 47 < and 479 of the code , because the assess ment shall bo made under the other BOO tions referred to therein , and thi same collected as providec in the sections last named Section 407 refers alone to the repair o permanent sidewalks , and 405 provide ! that the expense of grading streets shal bo paid out of the general fund of thi city. Therefore the requisite power mus bo conferred by section 4CU of the code It provides that cities "shall have thi power to construct sidewalks , to cnrb pave , gravel macadamize and gutto : any highway or alley and to levy a spec ial tax on the lots and parcels of lane fronting on such highway or alloy , to pay the expense-of auch improvement. ' It will bo observed that this section does not include or provide for gradinj streets or alleys and therefor does no conflict with flection 4G5. But , atotior 4CO dooq provide for paving nnd the resolution elution contemplates that the strooti wore to bo graded , "preparatory tc paving. " Now the ducstlon is whothoi work preparatory thereto is the paving contemplated by the statute. Wo thinl not. It will bo assumed the council ii : good faith passed the resolution and al that time intended to pave the atrooti but when or how was lof to the uncertain future. Bocausi the preparatory work was dona the coun oil wasnot concluuively bound to pavo. am circumstances thereafter occurring migh causo'tho same council to make a change in this respect. Besides the changes 11 the porsonel of city councils froquenU ; occur , and thus changes in the policy ti bo pursued are brought about. Thi power conferred is to pave and not more iy to make preparation therefor. Thi work o ) preparation must , of course , bi done first , and in the discretion of the council , the street may bo graded and thi latter , no doubt , done under ono contrac and the paving under another. But thi only power conferred is to assess abuttinj ovrnorsfor payingnnd this may include thi prebaratory grading. The whole must bi assessed togothit ! or if this be not trno nc power is conferred to assess the cost o ; the grading on the abutting -owners anc then at somd future and uncertain tiim make another assessment for paving Powers of this character which eoino times are onerous burdens on the citizei and are assessed ogainst his consent am bowibly ogainst his int rest are usually strictly construed. Council for the ap police cite and rely on Buell v . Ball ; 21 Iowa , 582 ; Robinson vs. City of Bur lington ; DOib , 240 , and Keens vs. Lucas 62ib , 177 , Those cases are clearly dis tingulshablo. Brcauso the city had no power to asses the cost of grading against an abuttiuj owner , a suit against him would hay been useless and therefore the plaintil should not bo required to do a usolen thing or incur cnst and expense withou any benefit , and for thto reason ho ehoul not bo required to bring such an actioi before proceeding against the defendant II. There Is no provision of either th contract or the statute , which proves tha in no event shall the city be liable to pa ; for the grading , Adjudged cases there fore in which this fact appears are dis ttaguUhed from this case , Tlio only pro viiiona bearing on this question U in thi contract to the effect that the cilyagroo' ' to issue to the plaintiff "certificates o RMossmonU against the owners of abut ting lota , " and it will bo assumed if thi power to make the lusossmonta existed that the plaintiff oo'iU collect thoamouti duo him from the owners , and that Ii agreed to uko such certificates as psvj ment in so far as the defendant was ccn corned. It may bo said that th defendant did not in terras agree to pay but it contracted nnd the work WAS don for a compensation fixed by the city ante to its satisfaction under an assume power , that tlio expense could bo assosse as n charge on the abutting owner , an in substance both parties contomplatoj payment should bo made in a ccrtai manner or out of a designated fund , Th canhot bo so paid. The dofou ant had no claim or demand against th abutting owner , or the power to croat the fund , and yet it contracted it had In White vs. Snoll 5 Pick 425 thot defendant fondant promts ad to pay the plaint ! ono hundred dollars , " to bo paid when recover of T. Shearman my demand against said Shearman toward the lam where I now live , to bo paid when recovered orod of said Shearman , with interest fror this data , " and it was hold that if it wa established the defendant had no demand against Shearman , the plaintiff was entitled titled to recover. When the city admittot the existence of n debt , and issued cortifi catcs to the end that the plaintiff couli bo paid put of a particular fund croatot by the city , it must bo assumed it guar autood , or by implication contracted tractod , that auch fund existed , 01 that it had taken and hid it power to take the stops necessary tc create such fund. Now , when it turns out that there was no such fund , anc that the power to create it did not exist , it aooms to us that the city should no and cannot escape all liability under thi contract , and it has boon so hold : Kearney noy vs. City of Covington , 11 : Bush , Ky. 339 ; Sleeper vs. Ballon , ( > Kan. , 288 Maher vs. City of Chicago , 38 Ills. , 2GC See also 1 Dillon's municipal corpora tions , sections 480 , 481 , 482 (3rd ( ed. ) and authorities cited in notes. There is a class of cases which hold it sabstanco that , when the powers oft municipal corporation are donned in thi charter , or a statute , that persona con trading with the corporation are bouni to bound to know the extent and character tor of such powers , and therefore dea with the corporate authorities at thoi : peril. Craycraft vs. Selvage , 10 Busl Ky C9G ; Yottman vs. San Francisco , 21 Oal. 98. Swift vs. "Williamsburg , 1 ! Barb 427. Conceding the correctness o these cases , wo do not think they havi any application to the cose at bur. Foi If the plaintiff had looked at the statute ho would have ascertained that the citj had the power to grade its street and pay horofor out ef thi general fund , an that it die not have the power to make nn assess ment 'on the abutting owner , nnd wi think ho had the right to conclude thai the city would and was bound as no assessment sessmont could bo lawfully made to pa } him but out the general fund. The demurrer murrer should have boon overruled. Ho vctsed. The Hibernians completed arrange ments for a celebration the 4th.

A gentleman who has recently roturnoi from the Coour d'Alenr district says thai there is very much bitter feeling fol there against the western papers for tin treatment which the district has rocoivci at their hands. lie also prophecies tha the district will become a largo produce : in 1885 , and this admission Unit it will d nothing great in 1881 , is sufficient evidence denco of the value of the section. The western _ papers have simply treated od the distrct fairly from the evidenc presented. The wild and wondrous talc told have not boon substantiated , and wil most probably never bo. There was toi much talk about the mines , too much c an early rush and too little gold. Anotho recently returned gentleman says of thi tendency to exaggeration : "Well , sir , every bunch of willows is mighty forest , every frog pond a sylviai lake , every ravine a roaring river , over ; ridge of rocks a gold mine , every town ! county aoat and every man a liar.

Effect or the Law Recently Enaclef The 1'lnn of llio Now AtlmlnUtriUltv of Our Nottliorn PosscBslon , B n Francisco Chronicle. A Chronicle reporter called yostcrdn upon J. S. O.tkford , the late collector o customs nt Fott Wrnngoll , Alixskn , t learn some particulars about the govern niont with which the territory is to b provided. It inny bo mentioned thn Air. Onkford hna bocn the chief mover it the pussago of this bill , llo scoured frpn thn chnmbur of commerce a rosolutioi that a government was an absolute nccoa aity nuil a cimilar ono from the board o trndo. Well pleased witli his success Mr. Onkford wont to Sacramento nui procured a concurrent resolution frpn both homos of the legislature , initructin the California delegation to usa al reasonable effort * to secure the passage o the Almka bill through the house of re prosoutativos , and it was duo to this bed ; that the bill wa finally pasaod. STATUS OV T1IE POSSESSION , "Before proceeding to apeak of thi benefit that will accrue to the tcrrltorj by the installation of a government , J would HKO to gtvo a akotoh of the past,1 aald Mr. Oakford. "You are well a wan that the greater part of Maska is an un explored country , and that the atrip o countiy known aa Southeastern Alask ia where the Europeans are resident. " "What does thia country include ? " "It begins at 54:40 : and continues til it atrikoa the Mount St. El inn meridian You can sue that along the coast are dot ted myraida of atnall islands , with BOIUI few largo onoa. Sitka , the capital , ia situated atod on ono of these islands , nnd lioio i the tor.nmation of communication iron the civalizod world. " "Doyoumoanto Bay that the oulj white people that are to bo found are it thia atrip ? " "No , not exactly , But with the exception coption of BOIUO few omployoa of a pack ing company living at Dock's iulot there are no European roaidonta in any othoi part of the territory out of the employ oi the Alaska Fur company. " "So practically the government trill bo for Southeastern Alaska ? " "Practicallg , yea. But lot mo give yoi an illustration of how thia country Ima boon arranged. Hitherto it has boot under the treasury department and the only resident oQiciala have boon custom house ofticors. There waa no way to col lect debts or punish crime except by loca vigilance committees. In the case ol two outrageous crimes the people took the law into their own hands. In 187'J they hanged a white man at Wrangol island for killing a countryman in t drunken brawl , and at Harnsburg , lasl year , throe Indiana were hanged lor the murder of two white men. " TUB NANAL 1'OUCE. "But the government used to have i military force there , did it not ? " "Yes , it did. At the time of the trans fer to the United States detachments of troops wore stationed at Sitka , at Fort Wrangoll and at Fort Tongass , in south' eastern Alaaka. In 1870 they wore all withdrawn : Three years later a aorioui disturbance was apprehended from tin the Indians , and , at the earnest request of the inhabitants of Sitka , the Britisl : man-of-war Oaproy , from Victoria , cami to their rcacuo. There aha remained til she was relieved by the United State ship Alaska. Since then the followlnj ships have boon on the station : Thi Jamestown , the VVachusott and th Adams. The laat vessel is waiting to b < relieved by the gunboat Pintn , which i : now on her way to thia port frore Panama. ' 'Well , has the presence of those men of-war boon beneficial ? " "Certainly it has. Besides keeping the Indiana in subjection , it haa alsi served to support various trading establishments lishmonts , especially in Sitka , at whicl it was estimated thrt the crows of tin Jamestown , Wachnaott and Adams span moro money in each mouth of their ata ; than did the regular white residents ol the town in throe years. The small gun boat Pinta , with her crow of forty mou ia amply suflicicnt for all needed protect ion , in supporting the government ofti ciala in the exorcise of their duly. " THE NKW OOVHRNMUNT. "What will bo the poraonnol of tin now government ? " "Tho bill providoa for a governor , i district court , with a judge , a clerk o the court , a marshal and a district nttor noy. The court is tn nold throe assioni in each yeAr ono at Sitka , ono at Wran goll and ono at llnrrisbnrg or Juinoau it will adjudicate on all mining anc property claims. It ia a moat importan consideration , as up to thia time then has been no tribunal before which dia putcd claims could bo settled. In add ! tion to the ofliciaia already mentioned four commissioners are to bo appointed ono to bo resident at Sitka. ono at Wran goll , ono at Ilarrisburg and ono at Oon alaaka. They uro to try all potty often ces ; in fact they will act 01 police magis tratcs. This is much noedoi as the Indiana are greatly addictoi to thieving and hitherto there haa boot no way of punishing them. The marsliu will have the power of appointing doput ; marshals. Besides , I forgot to inentioi that there are two treasury officials sin tioned at the Seal islands , whoso duty i ia to BOO that the omployoa of the Alask Fur company do not violate the terms o the contract they have with the govern ment. The present law providoa than th governor is to make a yearly report o ; the Seal islands , but I cannot BOO how i can bo done. There ia no possible moan of communicationoxcopt , by a govormnon atoamor. " THE FUJI OOMl'ANY. "Will the officials have much to d with the Alaaka Fur company ? " ' 'The government is not likely to intoi fore in any way or shape with the Alask Fur company. They hold the Seal ia lands under a lease which does notexpir until 1800 , and as I have already said there are two treasury ofllcials to lool after infringements , and the visit of tin governor is an impossibility. I will tel you one good which will result from tin establishment of a government , and Urn ia that it will suppress eomo few diahonea traders , who get credit In Portland am m San Francuco , imJ who refuse to pa ] their debta. They also are enabled t < undersell the honest traders by thei swindling operations. " ' How will the Indiana bo affected ? ' "In my opinion they will obey thi laws. You know they or * a harmless though an exceedingly avaricious set , I will not pay them to resist the process o law. " Tlio Hplilcrnut tlio Fly. A very good apider-and-Jiy atory ia toh on the authority of Mr. Thomas Bell , tin naturalist , who witnessed the act " / very strong , loud , blustering fellow of i bluebottle fly bounced accldoutly into i spider's wob. Down rushed the old an dor and throw her long arms around h nock , but ho fought and struggled , an blow his drone , and battered and tore tl web into holes , and BO got loose. Tti spider would not lot BO his hole and the tly How away with the spider. FIXING A KIiY KGilKHN , Man Apnln Proven Hlg Superior ! Over AVomnn lit Mechanics , Ho had a doubtful expression on hi phir. as ho entered a hardware store i Detroit , nnd ho apoko about the atov trade , the Wall atreet panic , the Greei back convention , and several other mal tors before ho finally said : " 1 think it ia time to put up llysoroo doors. H "CorUlnly. " "You have springs 1 suppose. " "Yes , air. " "Have you a spring which I can ad just ? " "Wo have. Horn ia ono which a bo ton years old can put on. The time fc intricate springs haa passed , and simpl city is the rule. " "Lot's aoo. I wonder if 1 can put thr on ? " "Of course you can. All you want at a screw-driver , and throe screws , lloi this end goes on the door that end o the casing. See ? When you have it o take thia wire nnd turn hero. When th spring haa the right force drop those alol thus. See ? Why , a woman could pi on ono of thoao springs with her eye ihut price 15 cents. " Bonca hadn't lost any of his doubtft expression as ho started out. llo walko homo , feeling of his oar and trying to re member just whst the dealer said , and i half an hour ho waa at work on the tloot The dealer had held the upper end of th spring to the northwest , While his dee opened to the northeast. lie sat dowi and thought and thought , and finally do elded to try it , anyhow. Mrs. Bono came out and helped him , and the sprin naa finally put on. "Now what ? " aho asked , aa aho open 3d the door and aaw that it romaiuo Jms. Jms."Why , wo kturn the ratchet , 1 sup pose. " "Ratchot what'a that ? " "Hanged if I know. I've hoard th joys say : "Choose the racket , " am that's all I know about it. Oh , yes ; h1 said I must put thia wire in the holes am turn. " "Well , go ahead. " Bones turned and turned. The sprin stiffened and the door How open. "That's just like you , " aho said , as ah umpod back , "What on earth do vn want of a spring to hold a door open ? " "That's so that's so. Lot's take it ol nnd turn it end for end. " This was tried , but it was no good , am Mrs. Bones cried out : "You might have known itl It take man with brains to put on a apringl" "And I've ' got moro of "em right in rnj tools than your whole relations have ii heir heads I" "Then put on that spring !

Chicago Journal , A method of packing butter for il moro perfect preservation , and ono whic is very effective , haa long been in ueo i England. It has boon recommended i this country , but haa not been adopto so far as wo know. It is to pack th butter in cylindrical bags of inuslii which are put in a mold for the purposi Those bags hold about two pounds , an when filled are tied tightly and packo away in brine , in tubs , pails or casks.an are headed up just as pickled pork i The butter will absorb no more salt , perfectly free from atmospheric oxop uro , ia enveloped in an uniifioptio iiui < and is therefore entirely eafo froi change , excepting so far an this may o > cur internally from within by the natui al process called ripening , and which duo to the change of the milk sugt ( actoao ) in the butter into the milk ( la < tied ) acid , thia into hunyrio acid by well understood chemical transform ! tion of the elements.
