MINOR MATTERS.

The Administration Entitled to No Special Credit for Work on Pensions. Washington. Nov. 24. "I can't see what there is in the work which has been performed by the present administration in the pension office to give General Black grounds on which to boast, said Mr. E. G. Rathbone, of Hamilton, O., to your correspondent the other day. Mr. Rathbone was, at the recent election, ejected State Senator as a Republican by 1,500 majority, in a district that usually gives 1,600 for the Democratic candidate. Ud to March, 1885, he was chief of the special examining division of the Pension Office, and organized the systetr; which has served since his departure from ofrlsial life, to bring the business up to Jate. "When I took charge of the special examining division," continned Jlr. Rathbone, "there were on file about 47.000 apDlieations for pensions. When I was relieved from the position as an official partisan there were less than 8.G0O applications on file. The very complete system of special examinations and order of business which has been kept no was fully established. There has been no departure from the old way of doing the work, tnd, if General Black has succeeded in clearing DSf the files, and can allow or disallow a pension claim as quickly as be advertises, the work is clue to Republican organization and not to Democratic system or industry. A wooden man Coald have accomplished ail that has 'been done, simply because the machinery was put in motion, an it only required routine wort" Mr. Rathboue is one of the shrewdest and most persevering Republicans in Ohio; his remarkably successful race for the State Senate bas given him the decided lead for Con cress, and it is altogether probable that he will not only be the candidate next year, but that he will be elected. He bas no hesitancy in declaring that the civil-service policy of the present administration is a fraud, and that the success of the civil-service reform as outlined ty tba law is a debatable question.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of Various Kinds in the Two States. Alleged Bomb Found at New Castle Rabbi Frey Returns to Wabash Boy Killed While flaying Brakeman Notes and Gleanings. INDIANA. New Castle Frightened from Its Propriety by the Finding of a Itotnb. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Castle, Not. 24. Quite a sensation was created in this city this morning by the discovery of what appeared to be a deadly dynamite bomb, lying by the door of the treasurer's office in the conrt-honse ball. The missile was a piece of gas-pipe twelve inches long and two inches in diameter, securely plugged and packed, with a piece of fuse protruding from one end, which had been partially burned. The missile was not critically examined, and its contents are cot known, but the fuse attached is genuine, and the construction of the article is evidence that it was mannfactured by someone who' is familiar with the nature and use of thedestrnctive bomb. Whether the affair was perpetrated as a joke, or the work of some one with evil intent is not known, but it is generally regarded as the work of a crank. The matter is being investigated, and an effort will be made to discover and punish the perpetrator of the act. Rabbi Frey Returns to Wabash. Special to the Indianapolis Jooroau Wabash, Nov. 24. Rabbi Sigmnnd Frey returned here this morning from Cincinnati, determined to face all his calumniators, on the advice of Rabbi Wise.

It is likely that Rabbi Frey will be re-elected by the congregation here, at its meeting on Saturday, as a viMiication. Last Angust he was elected to preside over the congregation, Sons of Abraham, in Chicago, but could not assume his duties in time without breaking faith with bis congregation here, which he would not do, and so lost a very lucrative position.

Young: Farmer Accidentally Kills Himself. Special to the Indianapolis Jovrnal. ' Washington, Nov. 24. James Marion Wright, a prominent and wealthy young farmer of this county, accidentally shot himself through the heart this afternoon, while hunting. He was thirty-two years of age and leaves a widow and three children. Minor Notes. H. W. Leas, a tinner, of Bloomington, fell from a scaffold, striking his back upon a scantling, inflicting injuries that are thought will prove fatal. John Black, a farmer, of Owen county, while attempting to cross the I. & V. railroad track with a four-horse team, was strnck by a freight train and seriously if not fatally injured. A very peculiar damage suit has been filed in the Scott Circuit Court. Almond Pnillips snes Xlieu M. Peeler for $400 damages for breaking bis horse's tail. The horse is a fine stallion.

The owners of the silver mine near Jasper, Dubois countv, have purchased a patent smelter and all the other machinery necessary to reduce the ore. The machinery arrived at Jasper last Monday, and was hauled to the mine the following day. A large quantity of the silver-bearing ore has already been taken out of the mine and is piled np ready for the works, which will be in operation in ten days. The ore is said to be very rich, and the owners of the mine are confident they have struck a bonanza. ILLINOIS. The Drought in and About Mat toon A Prosperous Season fur Well-Diggers. Special to the In Jiaaapolis Journal. Mattoon. Nov. 24. Rain began falling in this city early Wednesday morning in good, oldfashioned style, and has continued since, with slight interruptions. Since Jane last crops, vegetation and live stock have suffered for the want of an ample supply of water, three-foarths of the shallow wells, which hare served in ordinary seasons of frequent showeis, having been drained long ago. Naturally this section of the State is the best watered of any in the world, but in places it requires wells dug or bored from forty to sixty feet, and in instances even to a greater depth, to obtain an abundanee for nse upon the highly productive farms. Usually the rain-fall is so copious that shallow wells are sufficient to catch and hold a sufficient supply from shower to shower as the water distills through the yellow clay, but in many instances during the past six months farmers have suffered from a scarcity of this most necessary article, some hauling from neighboring springs and never-failing wells for quite a distance continuously since last June. Crops were shortened by the dry weather, but the shortage caused the price to advance, so that the farmer makes just about as much money as usual. The well-diggers have been busy for months, and where proper depths have been reached, in nearly every instance an ample supply of water has been obtained. All manner of well-die tring and boring apparatus has been in great demand, from the raw Irishman to an inch and-a half ancnr, pateot tile curbing, sewer tile and common tile of varions sizes being used for casing; and still the continued cry among the farmers is for more well-diggers. Good veins of water are most generally found in the yellow clay, at from fifteen to twenty-five feet, and below this depth, through the blue clay, there are strata of sand and gravel, through which flow inexhaustible veins of purest water. There bas not been half the sickness usual in wet seasons of past years, though there are a few cases of typhoid fever. Not a chill bas been heard of this fall, and 'buck-ager" is becoming a stranger. Mattoon's public water snpply is pure and never-failing, having been fully tested during the heavv demands made upon the waterworks the past dry season. It is obtained from a stratum of sand and gravel forty-five feet under ground, and is as good for domestic purposes as average weil water. Three Live Sacrificed. Vermont, Nov. 24. At Browning, a small station fourteen miles south of here. Charles Fackler, bis wife and child, aged about one year,

lost their lives by the burning of the old Hollingswortb House, of whieh they were inmates. Whether the fire was the iwork of an incendiary or canght from a defective flue is unknown, but there is in Browning strong suspicion that the building was fired by-i an incendiary. The building was occupied by two or three families and in the southeast corner room was a small su ck of groceries. The fire was not discovered nntil the building was almost consumed, entirely too late to render assistance. Cbae. Fackler was about twenty-four years old. The charred remains of Mr. Fackler and wife were recovered from the ruins this morning, but the babe's body was not fonnd. Mine Operator, Fatally Injured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danville, Nov. 24. Frederick Russell, aged fifty-two years, a coaf-mine operator, while examining his mine, jnst after a blasting shot had been fired, yesterday, met with a fatal accident by the roof of the mine falling on bim, breaking bia back and left leg. 'He is yet alive, but cancot live the night through.

Brief mention. Frank Spratt, a wealthy stockman of Farmer City jumped from a freight train at Danville, Tuesday night, and was fatally injared. Heavy rain in the Centralia district has extinguished the forest fires, but the smoke remains so dense that objects at short distances are indistinguishable. -. David Gil foil, of Lake Forest, was beheaded by a train on Wednesday at a crossing near Waukegan. His buggy was reduced to splinters, while the horse escaped. The Hillaboro Mining Company whieh commenced the work of sinking a coal shaft, last summer, reached an eieht-foot vein of coal Thursday night at a depth of 446 feet. The Champaign Congregational Church have extended a unanimous call to Rev. L- S- Griggs, of Terry ville, Conn., to fill the pastorate made vacant by the death of Rev.' W. G. Pierce. Mr. Griggs is highly recommended from his old home, where lie held a long pastorate. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Two returned refugees and two children were attacked by yellow fever at Tampa, Fla., yesterday. There was one death. Dr. Wall Warns refugees not to return until notified, which will be as soon as the present cases terminate. Judge C. B. Grant, of- Detroit, Mich, called a meeting of saloon-keepers, Wednesday, and read to them the liquor laws " He told them the acts were passed to be obeyed in his district, and said offenders would be dealt with strictly in accordance with the letter. Mrs. Esther C. Post, wife of George I. Post, of the Central Missouri railroad, was found dead in a bath-tub in her home at St Louis early Wednesday morning. The lady had appeared to be afflicted with melancholia, and it is thought she committed suicide. Mrs. Salt, of Lawrence, Kan., a German woman, who for the past four weeks has refused to eat, died last evening at 8 o'clock. All efforts to induce her to take food proved unsuccessful When any spoke to her she would answer in quotations from the Bible. James Malley, one of the young men who figured in the Jennie Cramer murder case at New Haven, is now accused by a young woman of Kingston, Pa. . of ruining her. and of giving her medicine for criminal purposes. The accused is now a physician at Kingston, and his latest victim is not expected to recover. A suit that has for its object taxation of stocks and bonds of railroads and other Corporations operated in Ohio and other States in the hands of Buckeye citizens, was commenced Wednesday in the Supreme Court. If successful, the suit will be the means of relieving the present tax-payers to the extent of millions of dollars. L. K. Shaw, a farmer living four miles southwest of Romeo, Macomb county, Michigan, went to Romeo on Wednesday and received $600 for wheat he had marketed. Not returning home that night, search was made for him and his body was found yesterday in a piece of woods, about four miles from Romeo, iu a direction different from that to his home. Frank Feycht, of Dayton. O., ex-street commissioner, cut an artery in his left wrist, yesterday, with suicidal intent, using a razor. The surgeons arrived in time to check the flow of blood, but later in the day, while struggling , with his nurses from the effects of drinking, the wounds were torn open, and he is in a critical condition. He has a wife and two children. Rain Gladdens Miners and Operators. Pittsburg, Nov. 24. A steady rain all day': gladdened the hearts of the coal operators " and miners along the Monongahela river, and gave renewed hopes of a rise in the rivers sufficient to allow the shipment to the West of the eight or ten million bushels of coal lying in the harbor and pools. There have been no shipments to the lower ports since last June, and the mines have been closed on account of scarcity of craft and all the boats being loaded. The enforced idleness has caused great suffering among the 6.000 miners in the valley, and large numbers have gone to other fields in quest of employment. Hun Down and Killed by a Train. Boston, Nov. 24. A team attached to a carriage containing Patrick D. Gorman, William and Charles Hannon and Joseph L. Burke, was driven through the safety gates at the Boston Ss Albany crossing at West Newton, this afternoon. The team gained the track, and the horses, becoming uncontrollable, turned and followed the rails, end the wagon and its occupants were quickly overtaken by a train which crashed into the rear of the vehicle, killing the two Hannons, fatally injuring Burke and badly bruising Gorman. The carriage was demolished and the horses had to be shot. Fnel Gas fur St. Louis. St. Locis, Nov. 24. Parties from Pennsylvania have arrived in this city for the purpose of organizing a big company to operate a fuel-gas plant. The plan is to manufacture gas at a central point in the coal district of Illinois, just east of this city, and bring it here in pipes. It is expected that a million or more dollars will be expended in the enterprise. Kiog and Bis Water Ricycle. Boston, Nov. 24.

His time from the bridge to the East Boston side was nineteen minutes, distance one and a half mile, The water and wind were unfavorable. Judge Lochrane'i Cigars. Annlaton (Ala.) Hot Blast. We once heard an excellent physician say that he knew what impairment of tne nerves, muscles and other faculties might come from much smoking, but be would not give it np if the angel Gabriel were to make a special request to that effect. Prince Bismarck is a great smoker, and on one occasion, when about to light his cheroot, observed to a friend that "the value of a good cigar is best understood when It is the last you possess, and here is no chance of getting another." This reminds ns of an anecdote the late Judge Lochrane used to tell on himself: I was journeying," he said, "between Augusta and Atlanta with Judge . As I smoked one cigar after another, I handed the mate, almost automatically to my -traveling companion, who put the weeds 1 gave him into the upper pocket of his vest. When we reached Stone Mountain, I felt in my own pocket for a cigar, but none could be found. The desire to smoke growing by the prohibition from exhaustion of the supply, provoked me to -exclaim emphatically: 'I would give $5 for a cigar this very minute.' Judge pulled out the half dozen I had given him from time to' time, and said: 'Lochrane, you can take your . pick of these at the sum earned!' " We never could get the Judge to tell ns whether he put up the funds or not for the desired cigars. A short time before his death Judge Lochrane, for a noble purpose, abandoned the use of all liquid stimulants, but clung to his tabacco habit. He .liked the best of tobacco, but we never heard of his paying for cigars at the rate of $5 apiece. Guiteau Was Ready to Lecture. Plymouth fN. II. Record, Nov. 19.

A LETTER FROM ADAM CLARKJ5." Response of the $nrable Commentator to an Invitation to Visit America. ,i Northwestern Christian Advocate. 3 Rer. J. W. Sills. of Picton, Ontario,' has in his possession the3 Original of the following letter from Rev. Adam Clarke, the commentator. We are indebted to Mr. Sills for a copy, which was printed in,the Picton Times: To Messrs. J. Emory .'b Wangb, Ji. Bangs. F. Uall and George Sacbley; ' - Gentlemen and Reverend Brethren Having been absent in West England for a considerable time, your letter did not reach my hand till some weeks after its arrival. .Tour kind invitation to visit the United States was gratifying to me, and had I been, apprised of your intention a few months earlier, I should most certainly have endeavored to meet your wishes, aad by so doing I have no doubt,! should have been both gratified and profited;' but the warning is too short, and I am, engaged so far both to England and Ireland in behalf of our missionary cause that I can not .by any: substitute redeem those pledges. . I, had proposed aiso to visit the Zetland isles if ..possible, but as I bad not pledged myself to the voyage, I would have waived my purpose in favor, ot America, to visit which I have been long waiting for an opening of providence. ' I might add that 1 should have wished to have had the appointment of our conference (or the voyage. Now. although I feel a. pleasure of regret that I am di6sappointed in this wished-f or visit to the American continent, yet l am far from supposing that there may not tje a providential interference in the way.. I am, as you no doubt have already learned, an old man, having cone beyond thteescore years add, ten; and consequently not able to perform the labor of youth. You would naturally expect me to preach much, and this I could not do. One sermon in the day usually exhausts me, and I have been obliged for several years to give up all evening preaching, as I found the night air to be peculiarly injurious to my health. My help, therefore, must have been very limitedand in many cases this would have been very uhsatistory to the good people of the United States. This deficiency. I grant, might be supplied by an able assistant, who might be inclined to accompany me, but even this would not satisfy the eye or ear of curiosity. But, as the jirarney is now impracticable, these reflections are useless. I respect and wish well to your state, and I love your church. As far as I can 'discern, you are close imitators of the original Methodists (than whom a greater blessing bas not been given to the British nation since the Eeformation), holding the same doctrines and. acting under the same discipline; therefore have you prospered as we have prospered. There is no danger so imminent both to you and to ns as departing from our original simplicity ia spirit, in manners, and in our mode of worship. We think, in many cases, that we may please well-intentioned men better, and be more useful to them, by permitting some of the more innocent forms of the world to enter the church. Whenever we have done so we have infallibly lost ground in the depth of our religion and in its spirituality and unction. I would say to all. keep your doctrines and your discipline, not only in your church books and in your society rules; preach the former without refining on tbem; observe the latter without bending it to circumstances, or impairing its vigor by frivolous exceptions and partialities. As I believe your nation to be destined to be the mightiest and happiest nation on the globe, so I believe that your church is likelv to become the most extensive and pure in the universe. As a church, abide in the apostolie doctrine and fellowship; as a nation, be firmly united, entertain no petty differences, totally abolish the slave trade (if it be not yet done); abhor all offensive wars; never provoke even the puniest state; sever strike the first blow. Encourage agriculture and friendly traffic; cultivate the sciences and arts; let learning have its proper place, space, and adequate share of esteem and honor: if possible, live in peace with all nations; retain your holy zeal tor God's cause and your country's weal, and that you may ever maintain your liberty, avoid as its bane and ruin a national debt. I say to you, as it was said to Rome of old: Tu vegere imperio popnlos, Romano, memento; Ha tibe erunt artes; paeisque imponere morem. Parcene subjectis et debellare superlos. VirgiL But whither am I running? Will it be a sufficient excuse to allege "the zeal of your house hath eaten me up?" Truly, truly do I wish you good luck in the name of the Lord, and therefore, with my best prayers for your civil and religious prosperity, and hearty thanks to each of you individually for the handsome and honorable manner in which you have framed your invitation, I have the honor to be, gentleman and reverend brethren, your obliged and humble servant, and most cordial well-wisher.

Natdob Uall, xuiddlesex, t eD. b, EX-MINISTER WASHBURNE IN PARIS. He Practiced the Greatest Economy While There and Was Not Popular. Lucr Hooper, in Philadelphia Evening Telesrarh. The large fortune left by the late Hon. Elihu B. Wasbburne (it amounts, i understand, to nearly a million of dollars) is a source of great astonishment to the American residents of Paris who inhabited this city during the later years of Mr. Washburne's incumbency of the ministership of France. The economy exercised by Mr. Washburne at that period gave everybody to imagine that he was much straitened for means, and was obliged to rely wholly on his official income. Nor did his expenditure equal his salary for two years at least before be took bis departure. 'Be gave up his residence, sent his family out of town, and used to occupy a cot bedstead in one of the back rooms of tne American legation (which at that time was poorly installed in a suite of thirdfloor room over a . grocery store on the Rue de Chaillet), taking his meals at a boarding-house. If any prominent American arrived in Paris, one whom the Minister was presumably called upon to entertain, Mr. Washburne was wont to solve the difficulty and save the expense by straightway taking a little trip into the country. "Why, what took Washburne out of town?'' once asked a prominent Western Senator on arriving in Paris and finding that the Minister had left the city. "You did," made answer one of the American residents. "I! And how?" "Well, he knew if he stayed at home be would be expected to give you a dinnerparty, and bo he wsnt out of town as a cheap alternative." There was a good deal of feeling manifested by the Americans at the time respecting these peculiarities of their minister, for they did not even have a ministerial reception day, on which to call on Mrs. Washburne, for a number of years. In fact the minister wa3 not popular in Paris. The French reseated his somewhat too openly expressed partiality for the Germans, and the Americans were not attracted by his system of strict economy, frugality not being a popular virtue with the outside world. To be sure, everybody thought his private resources were extremely limited, his friends being accustomed to urge that excuse for bim on all occasions. Of bis unpopularity a strikine evidence was given during the last days of Mr. Washburne's stay in Paris. He gave out, just before taking bis departure, that he and Mrs. Washburne would remain at home on a certain evening to receive calls from any of their American acquaintances who might wish to bid them good-bye. Three persons only took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded. ENGLISH ELECTIONS. Synopsis of the Law Under Whieh the Elections Are Held in Great Britain. Milwaukee sentinel. The expensiveness of elections is constantly increasing in this country, and no steps have been suggested to correct the tendency. The Enelish have wrestled with the problem and within a few years have made an enormous reduction in the cost of elections. A reform was imperatively demanded, owing to the open bribery which defeated a fair expression of opinion. In 18S0 the cost of the general election was $20,000,000. Of course no such amount of mousy 'could be used for legitimate expenses, but only for bribery. In 1883 Parliament passed a comprehensive law to prevent election bribery and corruption. It has succeeded, perhaps too well; that is to say, members of Parliament have been unseated on technical constructions without having, in fact, violated the spirit of the law. This act prescribes a penalty for bribery, which term is applied to the giving or lenuiog or agreeing to give or lend money or anything of value or oQeial or personal influence by the candidate or sis agents. One member was unseated because, some time after the election, he promised one of his voters the loan of an agricultural implement It is bribery when "auy pei son, who either himself or by proxy, either before, durlag r after the election, directly or indirectly, gives, provides,1 or pays for, either wholly, or in part, any meat, drink, entertainment or rtovtoion, to or for persons entitled to vote ' A candidate or his agent is not allowed to convey or to pay for the conveyance of a voter te the polls. "No payment or promises of payment may be made on account of bands of music, flags, banners, cockades, ribbons, or any bther marks of - distinction, nor may the latter be distributed gratis." The candidate for Parliament must name one person to set as his agent, giviog public notice ot his nameand address. No agent or election clerk is allowed to vote All the campaign and election expenses must be paid through this agent, who must keep an account by items for examination, both the candidate and agent swearitfg to the accuracy of the account. The amount of money that may be expended by auy candidate is fixed by law, including the pay- ,' , .

ment for ballot-boxes., and ballots, and the cost of polling stations. For instance, he is allowed to pay no more than $7.50 per thousand for printing ballots, no mors than $ for a ballotbox or $1 when it is rented, ete. Tne penalties for the violation of the law are so severe and detection is so certain that election bribery as we know it has entirely disappeared. The cost of elections has been reduced-fully three-fourths since 18S0.

THE DOG'S BEST FBIESD. Some Experiences of Gabe Beckley, Dog Doe tor Hydrophobia Is an Incurable Disease. Gabe Beeklev. th "doffs' friend." is one of the noted characters living down in the Neck. For over thirty years Gabe has made a comfortable living by treating and handling dogs, tils success has been so great that dogs have been sent to bim from all parts of the country for treatment and his services as a dog doctor are inconstant demand. When a reporter called on bim vesterdav he was treating a big setter for cank ered ears. When asked to tell something about dogs, he said: "I guess I have treated more dogs than any other man in this country. When I was a young man 1 made a specialty of breaking dogs for field work, but now I confine myself to doctorine and handling. A dog is very much like a human being, and you can generally judge a man's character by the actions of bis dog. If the man is surly and disagreeable the dog soon finds it out and follows the example set by the master, and a good-hearted, noble fellow's dog is sure to be the dog everybody will like. "When a dog is sent to me for treatment the first thing I do is to study his disposition and make a careful diagnosis of his casa. To do this properly it is necessary to know a'.l about the anatomy of the dog and what relation the afflicted parts bear to the brain. There are hundreds of diseases the dog is heir to, auda dog is just as liable to get sick as a human being, and requires just as careful attention. I believe more in nursing than in medicines, though both necessarily go together. "A very important feature in dog doctoring is the diet. Did you every hear of a physician giving roast beef to a patient down with tvpboid fever If a doctor would do that his patient would soon leave him for another world. It is the same with a dog. I don't be'.ieve in starving,, but in a light diet. The idea of feeding meat to dogs, especially when sick, is erroneous and does more barm than good. The best food is boiled rice, oatmeat and cereals, to which has been added extract of beef and iron. The most common diseases are distemper, mange and canker. These are all contagious and when a dog shows signs of any of these diseases be should be kept by himself and carefully nursed. "Hydrophobia is an incurable disease. Of late years much has been said and written about this, and 1 have read many comments that my experience tell me are wrong. 1 believe it ia a disease of the brain which has its origin in the teeth. The disease. however, is not near as prevalent as some think, and hundreds of dogs have been killed through ignorance. A dog may get the toothache just the same as a man, and if the tooth is decayed, or the nerve affected, a secretion is formed in the gums. The pain sets the dog crazy and he will mope around for several days and want to keep to himself. The dog's mouth is filled with minute blood vessels and the secretion formed gets into these vessels and contaminates the blood. All this time the dog is thinking only of the pain, and it finally becomes so acute as to destrov his reason and he becomes crazy or rabid, as it is called. When his blood is poisoned by this secretion he is dangerous and is liable to contaminate others, no matter bow slight the wound is. If a dog is really mad or shows any signs of the disease the only safe way is to kill him as quickly and painlessly as possible. "Fashion has everything to do with house dogs, and 1 have my hands full in attending them. A short time ago all the society ladies had pugs; then the King Charles took the pug's place. Grayhouods are always popular, and littla terriers come next, but the fashionable dog now is the mastiff. These pets are generally housed np and most of the time are kept in warm, carpeted rooms. These surroundings are unnatural to a dog and be gets sick. If he was allowed to run in the open air and was fed regularly on a cereal diet instead of meats and other solids which be never has any use for he would be all right. The mastiff is a big, noble fellow and is wortb ten times bis weight in pngs. He is an intelligent fellow, and is very affectionate, but at the same time dignified, and bis presence is all the protection a house requires. The mastiff is the most, sensible net the ladies could have chosen." Atlanta Possibilities. Kansas City Journal. Mr. Henry Grady and Captain Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, are divided against each other on the prohibition question, and each prints his arguments in the Constitution under the head "Communicated." The discussion is growing rather warm, and we expect ere long to see something like this in the Constitution: Communicated. Captain Howell is a liar. Communicated. 1 Mr. Grady is another. '-As Good as a Circus. Philadelphia Knquirer. It would have been worth the price of admission to Barnum's whole circus to have seen that Connecticut women when, upon entering her barn and finding a lion in the calf pen, she innocently shook her skirts and said "Shew! get out of here right away, you nasty old thing!"

Pettw tod is that which, while prepared in the most appetizing form, is also the most wholesome and nutritions. It should never be r,eccssary to sacrifice the wholesomenesa of an articii "i or3w to make it moie palatable, nor, as is too often the ve, should we be compelled to take our bread or cake bereft of it3 most appetizing qualities in order to avoid injury to our digestive organs. The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar quality,' not possessed by any other leavening agent, that applies directly to this subject. It provides bread, biscuit, cake, muffins, or rolls, which may be eaten when hot without inconvenience by persons of the most delicate digestive organs. "With most persons it is necessary that bread raised with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before it can be eaten with safety. The same distressing results follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, etc., raised by the cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum, phosphates, or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin and the delicious hot griddle cake3 raised by the Royal Baking Powder are as wholesome and digestible as warm soup, meat, or any other food. Another greatly superior quality possessed by tho Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preservation of important elements of the flour is effected in raising the bread by the mechanical operation of the gas, without fer mentation. Yeast, and all baking powders that produce the leavening gas by fermentation, as is well known, destroy a poTtion of the nutritive elements of the flour and particularly those which are the most healthful and the greatest aids to a perfect assimilation of the food. The Royal Baking Powder, whUe perfectly leavening, retains without change or impairment all those elements which were intended by nature, when combined in our bread, to make it literally the "stafTpf life." i " No leavenhig nt or baking powder, except the Roj Baking Powder-, possesses these greal qualifications
