A BIG THING IN BREAD 1eer rs 1t may
seem, bread. making to-day is the same as it
was in the times OF our grapdmothers In
deed, it is considered high compliment for
wives in these days to be told that the bread
they make is equal to that made by their
erandmothers-in-law. An English inventor
has now, however, laid an irreverent hand
upon the traditions of this kitchen and the
bakery, aud mas invented o process which
promises to take breadmakDg out of the
category OF rule. cf-thumb methods and place
it in the list OF the exact sciences. The
basis of this new process is a concentrated
solution OF "disstsste," which Is soluble
heterogeneous body that acts with marvellous
power on starch. The "diastaste," it is
claimed, becomes as a helpful food 70 the
yeast germ. which it excites to increase &C.
tLvity. The starch in the flour Ia transform
ed by the action of the "diastaste" into mall
tose sugar and dextrino, thus improving the ia
vor texture and moisture Of the bread.
The result OF tho new process is also, to mako
the loaf larger while at tho same time improving
the color of tho bread From four to six ounces
of disstssto is required for every $50 pounds of
flour used,

INFORMANT DECISION. case Of
Hodges VS.. tbs Seeboard and Roanoke Rail
road Company, decided in The Court of Ap-
peals yei tardsy. is one Of great importance
to the whole State. As this tribunal inter-
prets tie law, no railroad can lay its tracks
within sixty feet of the dwelling house of
any person who offsets. The court goes
still further and seys II the tracks are already
down the person who is injured thereby can
demand and recover damages. Mr.. Hodges
owns property on Crawford street, in Ports
mouth, and objected to the railroad laying
lie tracks in front of his premises. The de-
cision Is based upon an cot OF the General
Assembly which provides that "no corpora-
tlon or company shall invade the dwelling
house of any person or any spece within
sixty feet thereof without the consent of the
owner thereof" Judge Lewis, In dissenting
from this opioiop, ssys the act OF ths Legls-

to eraut special permission to railroad com.

eoME OF the northern newspapers, which,
1t seems, are incapable of learning any thing
about the South, are making great matter
of the recent apparent closing of the poiiti-
eel chaem between General Malone and the
negro Laugstop. whom he so heartily hates
and for whom, for several gears. he has been
expressing the utmost contempt. The pa
pers referred to seem to believe that The re.
union Of Malone aud the negroes will make
the republican party in Virginia so strong
that the dominancy of tho democracy in the
State will be endangered. If they were
better informed, they would know that the
negroes in Virginia have always voted with
any party, republican, readj1ster or Ma
honeite, whose Object was to defeat the dem
oorstic party, and that they will always
continue to do go, but that their strength is
diminlehiDg year by year.
