GALKxA PosrAAsTER.-B. B. Howard hiss
been appointed Postm aster at Galena in
place Of Mr.. Gray. Mr.. Gray was an ac-
commodating and very popular officer. aad
it could certainly have been from no gene
raj wish Of the citizens Of Galena that he
was superseded. In one of our Iowa coun-
try Post Offices, the prominent reason for
dismissing the late Postmaster was. that he
was cripple. and compelled to move shout
his dice room on scrutches. We believe
Ar. Gray is cripple. We should like to
know whether the Buchanan Administra.
ton i going to initiate its Prsde csssor, BY
ossting lame mon from Office because they
are cripples.

For the Memphis Appeal
fully agree with you in the opinion that
bread should be sold by weight, as well as
butter, cheese and lard, and think it would
be an improvement if the rule Of selling BY
weight were extended to vegetables, as well as
to coal and corn. But the plan Of selling BY
the loaf is not the osly evil connected with the
bread trade. It is, perhaps, not generally
known that much-probably most-of the
bread sold by bakers in all our cities, is made
Of old and damaged -four, sold at half price as
soSr fOsr. As every loaf weighs nearly double
as much as the -four it contains in its dry state,
the profits on bread are very large when made
of -four at full price, but these profits are dOu-
bled when sour flour is used.
Certain alkaline substances are used TO cor
rect the sourness Of the flour ; such as potash,
soda, magnesia and lime, and then the bread is
rendered even whittier than that made of fresh
-four, BY the addition Of certain ninerai solu-
tons such as common salt, alum, blue %vitriOl,
white y%ltriol, &c. The most efficient Of the
articles is the blue yitriol (sulphate of eoPper,)
but that in most common use is alum, very
large quantities Of which are consumed by ba-
kers. Nearly two ounces of this have been
detected BY chemical analysis in forty pounds
Of bread. All these substances have the effect,
also, Of retaining in the loaf an increased
quantity Of water, aud thus adding to its
weight.
Few families are 60 situated as to render it
difficult to make their own bread, and the ad-
vantsgsr are many and important The ex-
pense is reduced more than one-bslf, perhaps
as much as thres-fourths, and then the advsn-
tage and satisfaction Of knowing what each
loaf contains, and that Il is in no degree poi
sonous, is worth something to those who set a
proper value upon health and life. Since the
eooking-stove has come into use, with an oven,
easily heated and nearly always ready, the
baking Of domestic bread Is greatly facili-
tated, and the art of making il in good perfec-
ton is easily learned BY any enc.
a HOUSEKEEPER.
