WALTER SAVAGE LANDoR.
Fifth Lecture in the W. T. a. Course.

Such was the title OF Hon. Israel Washburn s
lecture before the w. I. A. at Congress Hall
last evening to an interested audience.
Landor, it will be remembered was an Eng
lish author, born in 1775 and died at Florence
in 1864. His family was very wealthy, and he
was destined, first for the army and then for
the bar, but devoted himself to literary pur-
suits. He became so disguised because a
tenant absconded several thousand pounds in
debt to him that he sold off the family estate,
which had been 700 years in the family, de-
molished the mansion and went abroad. In
1903 he raised body of troops to aid in the
Spanish insarrection against Napoleon and
was appointed Spanish colonel. In 1911 he
married the daughter of the. Baron de Nieuve
vile, resided in Italy from 1916 to 1885, then
resided in England until 1858 and then re-
moved again to Italy. He long occupied the
palace of the Medici at Florence, and after
wards purchased the villa and garden of Count
Gherardesca at Fiesole. He published a small
volume of poems in 1895 and "Gebir," long
poem. in 1898, but he first became really known
as an another by the publication of Count
Julian, a tragedy, in 1872. His literary reputa-
ton was greatly enhanced by his Imaginary
Conversations" and these were followed by
long line of works. His poems were of the
Hellenic style and contained highly intellec-
tual passages.
Mr.. Washburn took very fattering view
of the character of this extraordinary man
and quoted freely from his writings. He de-
scribed with graphic effect visit he made to
the widow of Lander. The lecture was written
originally as paper to be read before the
Fraternity Club and was delivered as lecture
last winter in the NJ G. M. A. course

Tenth Annual Reunion.


The class of '72,.P II. S., held their tenth
annual reunion at Gilbert's hall last evening.
There were about thirty-,ive numbers present
which is half of the members of graduates and
speaks we'll for the unity of the class, notwith-
standing ten years have passed since graaua-
ton.
The literary exercises commenced with an
address by the president VIM. L. Alden, M.
D., followed by music, recitations and original
essays Later in the evening the class repaired
to the banquet room, where an elegant spread
was prepared by the lady members. After do
ing ample Justice to the vivands, the toast
master, Mr.. Charles R Lewis, called the COM
pany to order, and proposed several appropri-
ate toass, which were responded to by the
boys Then came the best feature on the pro-
gramme-the reading Of letters from absent
members These contained many congratula-
tions, kind words and hum orous school remin-
iscences. Dancing came last and the wee sma'
hou RS approached when the tenth annual
was a thing of the past. THE last dying echoes
were ''hurrah for the 18th.

Mr.. W. A. Goodwin gave the first lecture in
the M. c. NJ course last evening.
In 1862 when engineer of the LIST and I'd dis
tricts he was sent by the government to New
Orleans to inspect the lighthouses dismantled
by the rebels. New Orleans had just been cap
tured by Gen. Butler. He sailed on the Roa-
noke July 10Th He gave bright sketch of
the incidents of the voyage, the peculiarities of
some Of the passengers and the sensations of
running aground on mud-bank. Gen But
Ter he found at the custom house in New Or
leans full of snap, business and audacity. The
General put the fine cutter, the Florida, under
Mr.. Goodwin's orders. The speaker gave a
graphic account of his two months voyage in
the Florida. describing the condition of the
light stations along the coast, together with
much valuable information.

THE OLD AMOUNT OF CREAM TARTAR
VIII Not Raise the Old Amount of Flour.

| Why is it? How often this question is asked
Of the grocerl The most complete answer to
| this inquiry that we have seen, comes from the
| Health Inspector of the New York Board OF
Health. After samples of cream tartar pur-
chased in various parts of the city had been
subjected to analysis, he found in all cases,
that article to be adulterated with terra alba to
such an extent in some instances, that the
cream tartar was really terra alba with little
cream tartar added. The Inspector further
stated that, when baking powders are put mp
in packages ready for use, the honest and skill
full manufacturer experiences no difficulty, in
the first place, of securing pure material, and
secondly, in mixing them in the proper pro-
portions. Hence, the Inspector recommends
the use of good, reliable brand of baking
powder in preference to the cream of tartar as
now found in the stores.
The manufacturers of the well-known brand
called the Royal Baking Powder" import
their own cream tartar direct from the Wine
Districts of France, expressly for this pur-
pose. This company are said to be the largest
users of cream tartar in the world, and in
these days of adulteraiion and fraud, it is most
gratifying to know of one article of food that
we can get pure, namely, the Royal Baking
Powder.
A visit to our grocers reveals the fact that
large majority of our leading families have
discarded entirely the use of the Phosphate
Powders, as we'll as Cream Tartar and Soda
on account of the unsatisfactory results, and
are now using that absolutely pure prepare
ton Royal Baking Powder. Among the fami-
lies who are using this powder we take the lib
