IiECk.ER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States sgovernment with seventy-five thousand 5000 lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "Royal' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with Q number known only to the commissioners.
 twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder s submitted to an imp artial test its superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict SO emphat- ica1ly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained

The Peoria Qllinois) Transcript in making the authoritative announcement that General Green B. Raum has decided to present his name frankly to the people of Illinois as a candidate for United States Senator says: 'eWe have reason to know that General Raum believes that the question as to who shak have conferred upon him this high honor will be decided by the expressed preferences of the 325, GOO Republican voters of the State, as voiced by the press, and as made known in their choice of candidates for the next Legislature, and it is because of this belief that he at this early date so frankly and manfuHy authorizes the announcement of his candidacy"

The Governor of New York has vetoed a bill giving the defense the right of the con- cluding address to the jury. Conviction for grave crimes is made more difficult and un- certain by recent legislation in that State, till, as the Governor observes, verdict of guilty is a surprise in such cases. Asabun- dant safeguards are provided already by the statutes, the executive refuses to approve measure which is movement in the wrong direction, and is equivalent to notice that criminals will have a new reason to think they can kill and not suffer the extreme penalty.

dred and fifty million dollars of the bonds

of the new bonds has distinctive Wig
nette, as follows: $50, Fessenden; 800,
Dewitt Clinton $500, Franklin; 81 900,
Garfield; $4,000, Hamilton They gre
printed ON distinctive paper, with threads
running through it, like the paper used
for the national bank notes and green
backs. Each bond bears a view of the
Treasury Department The corner-pieces
are of scroll work, in which is interviewer
the denomination of the bond. The
bonds are called "the 3 per cent. loan Of
1882" which legend is printed across the
upper part of the face On the right hand
near the border are the words "Act of
July y. 1882" On the opposite border
are inlaid letterings of ''3 per cent"

ed with ribbon bearing the motto, f.

tion in geometric lathe-work In each
of the letters of the legend is engraved
"United States of America" in white
faced letters on black background,
forming the shank Of the letters in the IT,
tie of the bond. Omitted States of
America" is printed in large scroll letters
across the face under the vignette. All
are dated August l, 1882. The denomi-
nation is engraved in tint to prevent pho
tographing. The numbers are printed
on scroll-work panels on each side of the
portrait. The panels and the denomina-
tions are printed in fugitive tints to pre-
vent the alteration of numbers. The
space for the name Of the payee is also
tinted. There are three seals on the
bonds; the printed seal Of the Secretary s
Office, an embossed seal and a printed seal
of the Treasury Department The face
of the bonds is printed in black, with five
distinct tiats, The color of the backs is
different in each denomination. There
are five different patterns of scroll work
on the back of the bonds. One pecul-
iarity Of the new bonds is that they are
printed in such q way that when folded
the whole story of the bond can be read
without opening the bond

THE USE OF TOADs-Toads have been
used by ent0mologists for the acquisition
of minute nocturnal insects difficult to
CATCH A number are turned out at night
in a district where rare or desired insect

reptiles are captured, and either deprived
of their spoils by little gentle pressure,
or killed and ransacked. If they could

WIRE FENCE.-IIow few have any idea
of the immense extent which the wire
fence manufacture has reached. AS a
point Of local interest it may be mention
e / that this is Western invention and
was due to an attempt to twist nails into
wire in order to make an available de-
fense against cattle. At present there
are thirty-four patents, the first having
been taken out by Kelly, of Chicago,
Washburn & Moen now own the best
patents, on which they collect three-quar-
ters of cent per pound. This amounts
to at least 100000 a year. Last year
this house sold 45, 900 tons, but this year
the sale Will reach 10000 tons. The
most extensive orders come from railroad
companies, which are obliged to fence
their track. One man has contract to
erect 400 miles of wire fence on the West
Shore road, and 1,500 miles of similar
fence will be made this year. What is.
now wanted is durable posts, and efforts
are being made to obtain cheap, but
permanent substitute for wood. The
wire fence, like many other inventions,
comes in time to afford much needed re-
lief, nee the scarcity of timber renders.
the former method too expensive, to say
nothing Of its perishable nature.-Cor--

JAY GOULD'S POLITICS.

We observe that Jay Gould is spoken
of by certain western newspapers Of the
Democratic persuasion as "tne great Re
publican capitalist" It ought not to be
necessary to repeat Mr.. Gould's celebrat-
ed avowel, 81 am Democrat in Demo
cratic counties, a Republican in Repub-
lican counties, but az Erie man at all
times even if the expansion of Mr..
Gould's power demands the substitution
of States for counties and ga Gould
man. as being, on the whole, the best
equivalent for the Erie man" of 10 years
ago. Our western friends are naturally
a little confused over the part now being
essayed by Gould of Governor-maker of
the State of New York, and they have
hastily assumed that the man who has
purchased both the political and profes-
sional services of Roscoe Conkling, must
necessarily be Republican AS New
York is close state, Mr. Gould finds it
necessary to make his influence felt in
the councils OF both parties. Raswell P.
Flowers is his candidate on the Democrat
ic side; on the Republican he has not yet
distinctly indicated his preference, being,
meanwhile, content with the general de-
claration Of "Anybody to beat Cornell -
Mr.. Gould's newspaper influence in this
state is both Republican and Democratic,
and bis money will be freely spent for the
nomination of candidates, and the cleo
tion of Governor, on the simple under
standing that they are the kind of men
who will pay proper regard to his inter-
ests-Neao York Times.
