This letter is no surprise to those friends
who have known how reluctant he has
been from the outset to give the sanction
even of silence to the consideration of his
name as candidate II is a simple fact
that Blaine was almost dragged bv his
friends into the candidacy of 1880 and 1884
and he has constantly assured them that
he would rot be put iii the position of even
seeming to seek nomination again. It. has
long been evident that nothing but his
own positive action could prevent his
denomination this year, and SO he has
finally felt forced to say to the public what
he has been saying in private We regret
his decision profoundly, since we have be-
lleyed be would command more votes in

Bogus Baking Powder Tests.

Rather ingenious but not leas fraudulent
are the pretended tests of baking powders

agents who are trying TO further the sale of

consist in mixing separately, with water. a
sample of,he baking powder found in the
house and of that carried by the agent
F .om that found in the house, if pure arti-
els, the bubbles of gas will rise and burst on
top like those from a glass of champagne
Tee Chicago baking powder which they
curry, when mixed with water, will show
an extra froth upon the top of the mixture
which is claimed as evidence of superiority.
On the contrary. however, it is not only the
exhibition of trick, but is absolute proof
that the baking powder which 80 acts ia

honest trick but dirty one, for the chemi-
cal is the product of the filthy refuse of the
slaughter house, and if this baking powder
Is used in the preparation of food passes into

course, any statements made in reference
to other baking powders, by parties caught

1t Is probably wisest 10 the interest of our
families, and to prevent our food from being
contaminated by tramps of this kind, to
turn all persons who wish or attempt to
tamper with 1t uncerimoniously from the
door, and to use those articles only which
experience has proved satisfactory, or the

ELECTRICITY AS a MOTIVE POwER.-To

ments of usefulness, the reported extent OF
its employment, for small industries princi.
pally, will come upon them as surprise. It
is stated By one of the periodicals devoted
10 the exposition of electricity that no less
than eight thousand small motors have been
sold by different companies within the past
wear, and that four thousand others are in
course of construction to meet the increasing
demand. These motors range from half.

mainly for doing light york In printing of

ing, pumping, dental lstbes, and for Ice
cream freezers, coffee mills, organs, &c, 60,
that they have been brought into use. In
these employments it is said that the cleo.
trio motors are gradually supplanting the
steam engine. 10 two instances the cost of
the power is given. 10 Pittsbnrg the charge
for half-horse power from central station
is nut at ten dollars month and for ten
horse power at eighty dollars month. In
Buffao half-a- horse power is supplied at six
dollars month, including rental of motor.
at these prices it would seem as if the cleo.

THE BOARD of Visitors of the Virginia
Military Institute in their report 10 the leg
islature, say:
THAT the greater part of the trust funds
dedicated at various times to the institute
have been diverted from the purposes to
which they were intended and applied 10
other and inconsistent uses, and that the
superintendent has persistently ignored ana
thwarted the purposes of the Board OF Vlsl-
tors"
General Smith, the venerable and highly
esteemed superintendent referred to, has
grown old in his present position, and 1t will
take more than this report to make those
who know him believe that after a lifetime
spent in entire devotion to the Institute
aud in making 1t, as he has, second only to
West Polut, such grave charges against him
can be sustained. Feasibility Is essential
to all true testimony, but it Is en-
tirely lacking 10 this case. There is no
reason why General Smith would have
risked SO much for 80 little.

MINNESOTA is an agricultural State, like
Virginia. The farmers there, like those in
Virginia, supply the newspapers OF the
State with most of their subscribers. The
newspapers therefore. naturally rejecting
the opinions of their patrons, support rev.
enue, rather than protective tariff, and a
tax on whisky rather than on the neces'
ssries of life; aud that even political atfili
utions do not subgert their personal inter-
es,s is proved by the fact that among the
newspapers referred to are no LEES than thir-
ty Ave that are republican. How different
it is in Virginia
