Capt. Crawford then ordered me to go back and ensure no more firiag. I started back when again a volley was fired, of course we all sought shelter. I am sure they knew who we were perfectly we'll at this time. Lieut.. Shipp and Mir. Horn were also shouting at another point, telling who we were, that all was right, Mir. Horn spoke Spanish very well. When I turned again I saw the Captain lying on the rocks with wound in his head and some of his brains upon the rocks.
 This had all occurred in two minutes. He was said to be waving his handkerchief when shot, Mir. Horn was also wounded at the same time in the left arm and slightly. It is rem lrkable, no others were shot. There can be no mistake these men knew they were firing at American soldiers. At this time took comnand and endeavored by all means to prevent

Ammonia i'm Baking Powders.

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is more i'm
portant than the uses to which common
ammonia can be properly put as
leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepare
ton of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place
small portion of it upon knife and
hold over flame, and it will almost
Immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is simple composition of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives it
its superiority as a leavening power
over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as sup
plement to these articles A small
quantity of ammonia in the dough is
effective in producing bread that will
| be lighter, sweeter, and more whole
some than that risen by any other
leavening agent. When it is acted upon
by the heat of baking the leavening gas
that raises the dough is liberated. In
this act it uses itself up, as it were; the
ammonia is entirely difused, leaving
no trace or residuum whatever. The
light, fluffy, faky appearance, so desir-
able in biscuits, ETC., and so sought after
by professional cooks, is said to be i'm
parted to them only by the use of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder mana
facturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves Of
this useful discovery, and the hand
soonest and best bread and cake are
now largely risen by the aid of am
monia, combined of course with other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as
seems to be justly claimed for it, the
application of its properties to the pur.
poses of cooking results in giving us
lighter and more wholesome bread
biscuit and cake, it will prove boon t.
dyspeptic humanity, and will fore,
itself into general use in the new field
to which science has assigned it.

father noticed that she treated them all
with indifference and showed a marked
preference for young clerk Of bis, an
orphan, with no means but bis salary. As
he had alaays given the greatest sallsiac.

was exceedingly well conducted, the
father, persuaded that he would never
venture to raise his eyes to his daught r,
who evidently was BiuCerely attached to
him. made up b 8 mind to breach the
matter 10 him What was his surprise
when the young clerk, after much hesita.

to regard the young laly as sister, but
he could not marry her, because he was
