A mule is reported by the Columbus
(Ga.) Sun to have broken through the
earth while plowing near Oglethorpe
in that State With difficulty it was
extricated. The plowman examined
the place where the mule sank, and
found a deep and black chasm with a
distant sound of water rushing at the
bottom. Since that time the earth
has continued to cave in around the
hole made by the mule, until the
mouth of the hole is now the size of an
ordinary room. A number of parties
have approached the edge, and by
looking down discovered a cave in,
shaped like pot, about fifty feet deep,
and with large underground stream
running through it, 1t is a mystery
that no one as yet has been found
brave enough to explore.

A Pittsburg dispatch says; "Prelimi-
nary steps have been taken by the
window glass manufacturers to estab-
lish a syndicate, the object being to
advance and MAINTAIN prices. The
plan submitted contemplates the for
nation of an organization or stock
company, into which every member
shall pay $100 per pot, said money to
be forfeited if such member violates
any of the rules, such as selling under
the established price. The syndicate
is to buy glass for the firms needing
money, at a fixed price; notice of price
fixed is to be sent to the manufacturers
in the other districts, and if prices are
cut by them the association is to sell
in their market at such prices as will
make their territory Improbable to
them. The agreement is to become
binding when ninety-five per cent. of
the manufacturers sign it.

The remarkable earthquake phenom-
enon reported from one of the Tonga
group of islands, in the Pacific Ocean,
does not seem to be associated in time,
at least, with the earthquakes at
Charleston and vicinity. The great
shocks at Ninafou occurred on Sept.
10th, eleven days after the Charleston
earthquake, and at a time when, for
three or four days everything had been
quiet here. 1t is not impossible that
the two events may have been success
sive resultants of common cause, but
the relation is not apparent.

About the most cruel thing that has
been reported from Connecticut lately
was the conduct of three citizens of
Norwich, who were on Mantle Bay,
recently, in search of ducks. A gale
was blowing, and a bevy of quail,
which had evidently been blown of
shore, alighted on the duck shooters
boat, too weary to fly any further.
The shooters deliberately shot ten OF
the tired little fellows, and the few
that escaped went wearily winging
their way out over the bay, and doubt
less were drowned.

GULF STREAM CURRENTS.

An investigation of the currents of
the Gulf stream during the months OF
April, May and June, both in 1885 and
1886, has developed the following facts,
set forth in a report of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey:
1. The current varies daily in velo
city, at times as much as two and a
half knots. The greatest velocity is
about nine hours before the upper
transit Of the moon. The variations
are more excessive on the west side of
the stream than on the east.
2. The average daily current varies
during the month, the strongest set
apparently coming day or two after
the moons greatest declination, but
the observations are not as yet suffi-
cient1y definite to establish the exact
law of this variation.
3. The axis of the Gulf Stream at
the position of the greatest surface
flow is eleven and half miles east of
Fowey Rocks Lighthouse. The direc-
tion is always within a few degrees OF
north (magnetic). The strongest sur
face current at the axis was five and a
quarter knots, the weakest one and
three quarters and the average current
three and six-tenths There was evi
dence that the axis of the stream did
not change with the wind blowing
across it. 1t was found that wind
blowing against the current retarded
the surface flow, and it is probable
that the wind blowing with the cur
rent increases its velocity.

A FIGHTING PARSON.

to put stop to this practice, and a

this the bully of the place turned upon

A COWARDLY ASSASSINATION

A special to the Times from Court
ney, Texas, says: In is now certain
that the assassin of d. Bolton, on the
night of election, was a negro named
Polk Hill, who took to the woods
Immediately after his cowardly deed.
Bolton was a son of County Commis-
sioner Bolton, one of the wealthiest
planters of Washington county.
Young Bolton had taken an active
part in the election, working against
the Republican ticket, and for this
incurred the negroes enmity. They
ascertained that their local ticket was
defeated, and got together after the
polls closed and determined to attack
Bolton. The man Hill was selected
for the job. He took a Winchester
rifle and stationed himself where he
could get a good view of Bolton when
he reached the polling precinct. Ex-
element over the assassination is at
white heat, and several negro lynch.
ings are imminent. The white settlers
are profoundly moved, it being the
first attack of the kind ever made by
colored voters on the whites in Wash
ington county. Eight negroes were
arrested and carried to Bronhain,
charged with being accessory to the
murder of Bolton Bloodhounds were
put on the track of the murderer and
a posse is following close behind the
dogs When Hill is overtaken, he
certainly will be strung up to a tree.

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE.

This plain question comes home to
every house-keeper. We all desire
pure and wholesome food, and this
cannot be had with the use of impure
or poisonous baking powder There
can be no longer question that all
the cheaper, lower grade of baking
powders contain either alum, lime or
phosphate acid. AS 10th as we may be
to admit so much against what may
have been some of our own houshhold
goods, there can be no gainsaying the
unanimous testimony of the official
chemists Indeed, analysts seem to
find no baking powder entirely free
from some one of these Objectionable
ingredients except the Royal, and that
they report as chemically pure. We
find some of the baking powders adver-
tised as pure, to contain, under the
tests of Profs. Chandler, Habirshaw
and others, nearly twelve per cent. of
lime, while others are made from alum
with no cream of tartar. This, we
presume accounts for their lack of
leavening power as sometimes COM
planned of by the cook, and for the
bitter taste found in the biscuit SO
frequently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the
physologists assure us that lime and
alum taken into the system in such
quantities as this are injurious. They
are not decomposed by heat nor dissol
we'd in mixing or baking. They GO
with the bread, therefore, into the
stomach, where their physiological
effect are indigestion, dyspepsia, or
worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder makers
use these things? Alum is three cents
apound, lime still cheaper, while cream
of tartar costs thirty-five or forty.
The reasons for the chemical purity OF
the Royal Baking Powder were re-
Gently given in the New York Times
in an interesting description of a new
method for refining argols, or crude
cream of tartar. 1t seems that it is
only under this process that cream of
tartar can be freed from the lime
natural to it and rendered chemically
pure; that the patents and plant for
this cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about half a million of dol
lars, and that they maintain exclusive
control of the rights.
Prof. Nc Murtrie, late chief chemist
of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., in the interests of
commerce, made an examination of
this process, and reported upon the
results attained in the refined cream
of tartar. The following extract from
his report would seem to answer the
question repeated at the head of this
article, and which is so frequently pro-
pounded by the house-keeper:
II have examined the cream OF tar
tar used by the Royal Baking Powder
Company in the manufacture of their
baking powder, and find it to be per
fectly pure, and free from lime in any
form. The chemical tests to which |
have submitted the Royal Baking
Powder prove it perfectly healthful,
and free from every deleterious sub
stance
