There is q lot of Bohemians in Washington
who make a precarious living by writing
speeches for illiterate Congressman. They

answer his own argument by q gentleman in
the opposition, which he did with decided
success.

Poems by Rev. David Willard

We call attention to the poem Of Rev. Da
vid Willard which appears in the TELEGRAPH
to-day. We published a poem of Mr.. Millard's
last week, and have few more which will
appear il duetime Our readers will observe
the verse of the poem which we give to-day,
We think it to be Dactylic verse. b
The author, Mr.. Willard, now of jackson,
Michigan, has been in the ministry of the
Christian denomination 81 years, has been an
editor 3oyears, has been an extensive travel
er, and is author of work EMIT ed 'Travels

Baking Powders.

The making of good bread is an art, and to
dc. 1t Understandings, requires knowledge
Of both art and science. All bread raised by
the process of fermentation is Objectionable,
and thatraised with leaven, particularly with
yeast, is an abomination to a dyspeptic stom-
ach-or atIesst always was to ours. r
f The raising Of bread by forcing carbonic
acid gas through, the dough is, perhaps, tho
best method OF raising bread, but It cannot
be well applied except in large bakeries.
Prof. Horsford's method OF raising bread by
the use of bi-carbonate of soda and hydroch,
loric acid, in definite proportions to each
other and to the quantity of -four, Is based
| on scientific principles, and fs Objectionable
only on account Of the Inconvenience Of
using it for family purposes. Next to the use
OF the soda and acid which, by their chemical
ldecompositions and recompositions, form and
leave in the bread, common salt, the use Of
cream Of tartar and soda-bitartrate of potas.

haps the best. BY The decomposition and

articles scArbonic acid gas. is elimi
