Prof. Geo. H. Kalteyer, the we'll known
chemist of Texas, investigated the baking
powder question, and wrote Il submitted
Prof. Horsford's preparation to chemical
examination. and found it composed of pure
and non-poisonous materials. The idea of
Prof. Horsford was. indeed, grand one. in
supplanting the indigesiible tart rates, which
are the final result of all cream tartar baking
powders, by the soluble phosphates, the very
nutritive property of bread, and the bone
producing element of nature. 1t is certainly
the best and most healthful bread-raisinr
preparation ever offered to the public.

Peter Cooper was Il successful man.
lie saw nearly hundred years of active
life, and ought to have known something
about economical subjects, since he was
one of the greatest of American iron
manufacturers. In speech in Cooper
Union, when he was within few weeks
of his uinety.sccond birthday, Mr.. Coop
er, Mayor lIewitt's father-iu-law by the
way, said "lf we desire 10 bring upon
our whole nation a fate similar to that
which has fallen to the lot OF ireland.
Turkey, Mexico, and Hindostan. it Is only
necessary TO arrange our tariff In way
that will induce the people to have all
their manufacturing done in foreign couu-
tries and pay for it with the raw material
of our own. Such policy will, if am
not mistaken, secure for our United
States as rapid decline aud fall as that
which fell TO the lot of Spain. when the
Moors, her principal manufacturers,
were driven out of the country. Such a
policy might crafty our thirst for all the
dearly bought follies and fashions Of
European life, but IL would bring ruin
and wretchedness upon hundreds of thou
sands of mechanics of our country who
have nothing to sell but their labor. To
break up this diversified employment of
so vast number by change of tariff,
and then expect them to find for them
selves other means of living, is about rs
reasonable as il was for Pharoah TO ex-
pect the Israelites to make bricks without
straw"

The Successful Champion

The fact stands undisputed and unde-
niable that BENJAMIN HARRISON has
proved to be strong candidate. The
Chicago Convention did not act bindly
In selecting him to bear the Republican
standard in this great political contest for
principles and measures. The enemies
Of the Republican party have not been
able successfully to assail his political
record. In personal character and con
duct he has proved invulnerable. Since
his nomination he has grown immensely
In the estimation of the country His re-
markabe series of speeches prove him to
have the head and heart of patriot and
statesman, and have been IA clear and
strong revelation to the people of his high
intellectual qualities and of the genuine,
moral fiber of the man, plainly showing
that he has no need of depending on the
reputation Of his llustricus grandsire to
dhave commanding name In the country
and strong hold of the popular heart.
His speeches have been lucid, varied,
original, and Just what the occasion and
the circumstances required. Imprudent
friends have not led him to make mistakes
and political enemies have not been able
to excite him to slop over. None of all
the numerous delegations that have called
upon him, have found him uuprepared
with such responses and arguments As the
political situation and the interest of the
Republican cause demand His words
and his bearing have been highly effective
aids in the campaign, and when the teIe

A Buried City.

Chicago Times; That one Of the
greatest Of all of the cities built by
the Buddhists in the east should
have been forgotten and lost in the
depths of a trackless forest for 1000
years, is a fact that lays power
full hold on the imagination. Rea-
ders of Mr.. Ferguson and Sir En-
erson Tennct have heard something
of the architectural wonders Of
Anuradhapura, the ancient "city
of granite" in the island of Ceylon,
and of the unparalleled immunity
Of its structures and rich monu-
mental remains from the ravagos of
the spoilcr and the religions fanatic.
Since they wrote great progress
has been made in the way Of clear
ing the jungle. Mr.. Burrows, who
has lately visited the city, gives
in Macmillan's Magazine a remark
able account of the progress made
in local archaeological researches
since this marvellous record of the
past was accidently rediscovered.
The ruins at present disclosed are
described as already extending for
a distance ofleast four miles by two
and a half. The wonderful Gin
galese palace, supposed to have
been built about the commence
ment of the Christian era, of which
Mr.. Burrows gives an elaborate
description, was discovered only
last year. So tar the clearings and
excavations are stated to yield re.
suits which entirely agree with the
most authentic account extant from
an eve witness of ancient Anurad
hapura-the Chinese traveller, II
Han, who visited it in the early
part Of the fifth century.
