When Mr.. FRENcH's name was called,

to vote to disregard the usurpation of the
Republican party. A'

he was in favor ofpaying the war debt. He
was opposed to paying the national or the

A Carpet Tack Alphabet.

REV G. ii. WHEELER, the Turkish mis-
sionary, took back with him, to Harpoot, a
supply of carpet tacks to make books for
the use of the blind Armenians in his field
A letter to The Christian Mirror describes
the curious device by which they are made
to do missionary work:
A very small round.topped tack, thrust
upright into piece of pine board, repre-.
sents the first letter. The same tack in.
clined to the top represents the second,
and leaning to the bottom, the right hand
and the left by turns, the next three. Fol-
the next four letters, one side of the tack
is then cut of, and the cut portion made
to face by turns the top, the bottom, the
right ard the left hand. The half headed
tack inclined to the top, the bottom, the
right and the left hand again by turns
represents the next four letters Essen.
TALLY the same course is then pursued with
the next two styles of tacks, and our
ALPHABET is ready. Other sorts of tacks
and variations of them then furnish points
for punctuation and the numerals, and
with good supply of tacks and piece of
sott pine board for page, we are ready to
write a chapter of the Bible or a hymn for
one blind reader, whose sensitive fingers
will soon learn to run along the line of iron
and copper with almost as much speed and
assurance as our eyes in reading the
printed page. The page once committed
to memory will be passed along to a second
reader, or the tacks withdrawn, and like
your printers type, used for printing
another page In this way two or three
dollars worth of taoks may be made avail
able for printing, if he chooses, ali the
chapters of the Bible, and the hymns of
the hymn book, or anything else which is
needed.

ulebrg's New Method Of Bread Making.

TINS eminent chemist, who, TO an ex.
tent scarcely cqualed by any other person,
has turned his science TO practical account
in rural and domestic economy, has re-
Gently announced very simple process OF
causing bread TO rise, which, though not
entirely new, is yet likely to become ex.
tersively introduced, In consequence OF
| the weight of his name. Our readers are
well aware that there are two principal
modes of making dough spongy and light ;
the one by means of yeast ferment, In
which portion of the substance is de-
composed with the evolution of gas the
other, by introducing carbonic acid gas,
eitheir directly from without, as In what
is called pratcd bread, or by the mixing of
two or more chemical substances, which,
combining in the dough, cause the same
result. In the last mentioned category be-
long the various yeast or rising powders
| of which so many are In use-the simplest
of them and longest known consisting of
bi carbonate of soda and tartaric acid, and
others, however, having different compo-
sitions.
The method of Liebig belongs to the
class of the yeast powders, and consists in
the employment of bicarbonate Of soda and
hydrochloric or muriatic acid. The re-
sultory combination is simply our com.
mon salt, the carbonic acid being given
off in the process and furnishing the rising
As all bread requires salt, in even larger
degree than that produced by proper
proportion of this mixture, there Is no
taste of free soda left, and nothing in
any way injurious to health, or disagreed
bic TO the palate. The proportions used
in an extensive bakery In Munich where
this Liebig method is employed is to 100
pounds of coarse flour add pound OF bi-
carbonate of soda Az pounds of hydro
chloric acid, of the specific gravity of
1.003, 191 to pounds of common salt,
and 40 pounds of water; with ordinary
flour the water should not exceed 10 to 70
pounds. The proportion of the soda TO
the acid Is so graduated that grammes
(about n grains) of the alkali shall be
completely neutralized by 33 cubic cent?
meters (about fluid drachms wine meas
ure) of the acid. The bread should have q
slightly acid reaction.
In the actual manipulation, the flour is
first mixed with the bi.carbonate of soda,
and the common salt dissolved in the
water, which is then used for mixing the
dough n small portion of the flour, mixed
with the soda, Is set aside before the
kneading. When the dough is ready the
hydrochloric acid is worked in, little by
little, the reserve flour added, and the loaf
formed. This is allowed to stand half TO
three quarters of an hour before being
placed in the oven; the dough then rises
and becomes light 1t requires little
longer time for baking than common
bread The yield, after baking, is about
$50 pounds. BY adding one or two parts
of vinegar to 100 pounds flour, with cor
diminution of the water, bread
of the taste of bakers bread is obtained;
if quarter to half pound of old cheese
is added to the vinegar, the taste becomes
more that of yeast Exchange.
