Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by those
who use baking powders that they leave
IN bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them
a disagreeable, bitter taste. This taste
follows the use Of all impure baking pow
ders, and is caused either by their con-
tanning alum introduced TO make a
cheap artfcis), by the impure and adul-
terated character OF other ingredients
used, or from the ignorance of their
manufacturers Of the proper methods Of
combining them. These baking powders
leave in the bread residnum formed Of
liTes, earth, alum, or other deletefious
matters, not always, though frequently,
tastable in the food, and by all physicians
classed as injurious to health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this serious
defect. III its use no tesiduum Is left,
and the loaf raised by it is always sweet,
light and wholesome and noticeably free
from the peculiar taste complained Of
The reason or this Is because tits composed
of nothing but absolutely pure materials,
scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions of acid and alkali to
act upon and destroy each other, while
producing the largest amount of rising
power. We are justified in this assertion
from the unqualified statements made by
the Government chemists, who alter
thorough and exhaustive tests recon-
mended the g Royal" for Governmental
use because. Of its superiority over all
others in purity, strength, and whole
lsomeness. There is no danger of bitter
bread or biscuit where it alone is used.

One of the most historical and pietur-
esqe places in this country is that known
as the mansion of General Cadwalader.
1t is situated on Maxwell's Point, q point
of land putting out into the Gunpowder
river. The situation is picturesque in
deed and large sums Of money were spent
by the old gentlemen In draining the
land, erecting stone walls, and laying
out large park, in which can be found
many species Of trees that were brought
from foreign parts. The park is full OF
statuary, summerhouses, rustic seats,
and was in days gone by arranged SO that
the whole lawn could be lighted by gas.
The dwelling is furnished as he left ii,
with the exception of the club room,
which was in former days grand. There
is no one living in the. house at pres
ent. Mr.. Edward Lynch, who has charge
of the same, opened it on the evening OF
the 18th inst, for the accommodation OF
his guests who came from Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New York, and Washington,
and few from the immediate vicinity.
On this occasion Mr.. Lynch acted as mas
ter of ceremonies and did everything in
his power to make things pleasant for
those present. The company found many
means OF entertainment, dancing, sail
ing and other amusements seemed to
make the time pass quickly and pleas
antly, and it was Mr.. Lynch's delight to
show his guests the old mansion and the
many curiosities 1t contained. The house
and grounds are rented for the cunning
season to g. .H.Kuhn q Son OF New York
City, for the sum of 5000. Perhaps it
would not be out of place to mention
some of the guests present and describe
how they were dressed: Miss Clary, OF
Baltimore, white albatross and lace Miss
Annie Cooper, of Philadelphia, white
surah, with lace drapery and sleeves Miss
Halle Walcott, of Philadelphia, crimson
plush and jet; Mrs. Knight, Of Ellicott
City, brown surah and lace; Miss Ella Hot
fecker, of l. Legoes Point, black satin and
lace Miss Addie Hoffecker, of Legoes
Point, black surah with lace. Miss
Lizzie Appel from Maxwell's Point
and two nieces. Among the gentlemen
present, we noticed Mr.. Harry
Diggs, G. N. jacob and F. Barton
Loney, all of Baltimore; N. Knight, Of
Ellicot City Mr.. T. Norris, Of Magnolia;
Mr.. Jacob Hoffecker .of Legoes Point;
The company dispersed at an early
hour, highly pleased with the reception
they had received.

saved By His Cork Leg.

A good story of the early days of the Fiji
settlements is told by British official. A
white man who was taken prisoner by an in-
land tribe had a cork leg. Noticing that his
scaptors were fixing up an oven, he became
nervous and to conceal his fear called for
something to eat. Food being given him he
used large jackknife to cut 1t u. Every
pmouthful or two he stuck the jackknife into
his leg with such force that Sitit stood erect.
The natives looked on in great astonishment
and evident alarm. After the meal was over
he began to unscrew his leg. This was too
much for the poor seyages.. They hadn the
slightest curiosity too see what he would do
next, but opened a passage for him and let
him walk away unmolested. When no
reached his horse the natives began to gather
around, but after mounting he made mo-
tion as ifto unscrew his head, and the specta-
tors fed in dismay.

The Governor that is and the one
that is to be.
The Governors of the thirteen orr
ginal States are holding meeting in
Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Times
of yesterday published the following
u Governor Charles G. Stockley, of
Delaware, W. F. Causey and John A.
Nicholson, of the same State, were at
the Colonnade Hotel. i En- the same
party was B. T. Biggs, the Demo cratic
nominee for Governor of Delaware.
This delegation is duartered at the
American House. Governor Stockley
is a handsome man of about sixty. He
wears tuft of white hair under his
chin and bears striking resemblance
to jeff Davis. he isa courtly old man,
with mild manners, and when he talks
there is a smooth infection on every
word. When asked what his people
thought Of Secretary Bayard's recent
victory he said with guileless smile ::
!" Oh, the Democratic victory, you
mean. We know no factions in our
State. We are in perfect accord and
everything looks bright and lovely for
the future.'' Nominee Biggs is also "a
handsome man. He is Of medium
stature and his snow-white hair hangs
in curly ringlets over his coat-collar
and his long white moustache droops
down to his chin. He refused to tax
politics, but he thought everything
would be all right at the coming elec-
tinn. - = y

The Necessaries of Lffe.

The Philadelphia Press recently published
some facts showing the prices Of the articles
usually called the necessaries Of life seven and
eight years ago. The general conclusion
reached is that the same amount of money
will go further in obtaining necessaries at
present. In the case Of tea and coffee the
price now paid is practically the same as in
1878, but the quality is stated TO be twenty
five per cent better. All kinds of spices ere
twenty-five per cent lower than in 1878. All
kinds Of vegetables and garden produce are
stated to believer by twenty-fveper cent. than
they were in 1878. The great development
OF the Western dressed meat traffic, of recent
years, has had the tendency of reducing the
prices for this class ofsupplies. All kinds Of
miscellaneous groceries, such as coal oil,
candles, dried fruits and canned goods, are
stated to have declined in price from ten to
twenty-five per cent. ---- 4

through those who participated. Our
little State led the list in the ratification
of the constitution, 1t having been adoped
less than three months alter Congress re-
commended it to the legislatures of the
states to call conventions for the purpose.
My family connection with the revolution
and the constitution is thorough my
mother who was sister to Daniel, Philip
and George Rodney, who were OF the
family of Cesar Rodney, who, born in
Delaware in 1870, was high sheriff, justice
OF the peace, judge, legislator, delegate to
the convection of 1765, in the Continental
Congress, signer of the Declaration Of In
dependence, judge of the supreme court
and president of Delaware. He died be-
fore the convention of 1774. My uncle
