That Cheek.

The following is an extract from 8 letter
 received yesterday by Capt. Frank D. Sloat
 from W. J. Sherman, Esq, formerly of the | Shore Line railroad:
 My Dear Captain-Please accept my I thanks for the New Haven JOURNAL AND 1 COURIER which I received yesterday morn
 ing. containing the article regarding one of | my old conductors checks. I am much in- l terested in this, as I left the Providence and | Stonington railroad sixteen years ago. (1S65) | to return again to the New Haven and New
 London Shore Line, and the mystery is how | pasteboard check should be preserved for 1 sixteen years at the bottom of the Sound
 l should have thought it would have washed | to pieces, or the printing bleached out of it. or what caused it to sink? It has evidently been in possession of one of my steamboat passengers who leave the train at Stoning- l ton to take the Stonington Line of boats for New York, but it is still mystery how this check is found in state of preservation at
 the bottom of the Sound near 70 miles from where the retainer of the check first took the
 boat, where he would, if he wished to, have naturally thrown 1t away. think my check has been in poeketbook or satchel which has been stolen or lost and thrown overheard and that having decayed or routed by the ac-
 tion of the salt water, the check has lately hoated out. Capt. Potter had better keep on dredging ln the same spot where he fished up
 my check; he may strike 8 bonanza. Now, friend Frank, if it won't put you to too much trouble, wish you would get me that check and send 1t to me, as the JOURNAL
 states the owner can have it by calling at
 Mir. David Cowelrs, 366 State street, where Capt. Potter left it, as suppose can claim
 to be the owner of the poor old check. Out lawed by this time, it will be quite relic for me to get hold of one of my old checks af- ter having been pickled down for sixteen years in the brinV deeD
 The writer, whose restaurant in Albany is widely known and highly popular, hopes to extend the Inequalities of his table to Mir. Cowell and Capt. Potter should they ever visit Albany.

The government chemist also adds: q re- gard all alum powders very unwholesome. Phosphate and tartaric acid powders iberate their gas too freely in process of baking or under varying climatic changes suffer deteri- oration.''
 It is proper to state that all the powders examined were from the open market, and that the original labels were in every case broken by Dr. Love himself. He also in- forms me, that he himself purchased the can of Royal Baking Powder at the store of Park & Tilford.
 I have only to add, that for twenty years the Royal Baking Powder has been before the public, and it is to-day the standard for purity and excellence throughout the world. Because of it's intrinsic merit, and by virtue of honorable enterprise, the Royal Baking Powder has taken this rank, and am there fore not surprised$o find adventurers in the business anxious to assume their preparations to be it's equal.

They re- fused to do duty in consequence, and the vessel on which they shipped stopped at this port and the men were handed over to the United States authorities.
