Among the memories of early Col
umbus is "the old Eagle Tavern,
where, If there were such things in those
days-and there must have been since
the time of Cmsar--many political
rings were formed. At any rate, il
was a famous resort in the '20's. and
was situated on High street, opposite
the public offices. Among those who
frequented the place were Henry STAN
berry, Thomas Ewing, James NJ. Bell,
Lyme Startling. and scores Of others
who became prominent in the political
history Of Ohio. The proprietor Of
the place was a John Young, who was
noted for the excellence of his mint
juleps, the elegance of his wardrobe,
and his being the greatest gambler in
Ohio. Perhaps it was to this latter
fact that Bell, who was at one time
Speaker of the House, owed his pas
sion for gambling, which afterward
proved his ruin. Ewing was consid-
cred the cpicure Of the clique, caring
little for drink; Stanbery never forgot
the delights of many cozy hours at the
old Eagle, even after he became a
member of Johnson's cabinet, from
which, it will DO remembered, he re-
signed to defend the impeachment.
Nothing now remains of this old
Eagle Coffee House. "--Harper's Mag

The impurities in the powders above
mentioned were found to consist of
various matters more or less hurtful.
In DR.. Prices powder the principle i'm
purities were lime and Rochelle salts,
which were found in large quantities.
The impurities in Horsford's powder
were composed Of phosphate of soda,
lime, etc. but none of the nutritious
phosphates," without which its manu-
facturers claim life cannot be sustained.
The impurities found in the other pow
ders named were principally alum and
lime.
From the report of the commission it
is evident that the Royal Baking Pow
der is of the highest degree of strength
and purity.

An interesting experiment in the use
of the telephone was made few days
ago at Bloomington, Ill. Connection
was made with Kansas City by the train
dispatching office of the Chicago & Al
ton by means Of the Atoms Western
Union wire, ordinarily used for Wheat
stone automatic service. The wire Is
of copper and weighs 210 pounds to the
mile. A long distance transmitter was
used here with six cells of Calland bat
terry. and the same at Kansas City with
four cells Of Leblanche. Conversation
was carried on with perfect ease. Even
whisper was distinctly heard and
perfectly transmitted. Kansas City
next put Topeka. Kan. in connection.
and the conversation was as distinct
and perfect as before. Then St. Joe,
No, was tried. with equal success
The distance is between four hundred
and five hundred miles.

At the Tolgarn Of Ya,quin hills. east
of Perth, Australia. may be found that
remarkable plaut called the judyah
flower. In some places many acres Of
this flower are seen, aud very pretty
it looks, lying like pink carpet. The
popularity of the judyah foa er is that
all round the stem from its foot are
water bottles, varying in length from
half an inch TO two inches. On break
ing one of these water bottles we
found liquid having the appearance
of thin blood. Sheep may be turned
out for three or four months in a coun-
try where this strange plant grows
and never see water. indeed, It is a
matter Of fact that when they have
been feeding for any length of time
in such a country when brought to
water they will not touch a drop. They
become very fond of this flow er. which,
besides giving them stock of water.
