Wreck of the Embla.
The New York Herald contains the fol- lowing statement of the wreck of the Pictou barque Embla, as furnished by Capt. Innes : We sailed from Philadelphia, Jan. ist. On January 9th it commenced blow- ing from S. E , and gradually increased to a heavy gale. On the 10th we discovered the ship leaking and filling, and on her beam ends, We cut away spars to right ship, but our efforts were fruitless. Our decks and hatches were stove in and only a portion of the after end of the ship was out of water. Accepting what we deemed in- evitable, we all managed to crowd together, expecting the wreck to sink every moment. We remained in this perilous position and under this dread conviction from the 10th until the 18th, suffering the very worst privations, while the waves washed over us as the seas struck the ship. We had nothing to eat except half a barrel of salt meat that nothing but the dire cravings of hunger made us eat, and our water got mixed with the oil from the cargo, so that we could not use it. We _ were almost completely exhausted and worn out, when, on the 18th a ship hove in sight. The ship proved to be the Farragut, of Boston, R. F. Hardwicke, master,who came to our aid without the loss ofamement. The searan high and it was perilous to launch the boats. But within thirty minutes the Farragut’s boat, in charge of the first officer, was coming bravely to our rescue, but the boat could not approach within thirty feet of the wreck on account of the sea completely covering her at intervals. The mate of the ship Frank Sullivan, hailed us when near enough and told.us to jump into the sea,’ and he would save all on board. At first we did not dare to, being so weak from suffering and hunger, and when we told him so he came too near for safety, and again advised us to jump and all would be! well. Whereupon, seeing no other means of saving our lives, we one after another: jumped into the sea*and succeeded in gaining the boat safely—some of us by grasping an oar, others by being grasped by’
, tion.

The New Cabinet Ministers.
Although the resignation of Mr. Cham- ber:ain and Mr. Treyelyan is not yet tech- nically accompiished, the whole press, London and provincial, discuss the resvlis of their action and there is no other topic of conversation in political circles. what has happened is that Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Trevelyan both addressed letters to Mr. Gladstone stating that they find it impossible to support his scheme for the settlement of the Irish land question that he laid before the cabinet, and repeating the views they already had expressed at the cabinet council. The present pause is to afford an opportunity for friendly pres- sure on the two cabinet officers, but all signs indicate the futility of this. There is reason to believe that Mr. Chamberlain will be succeeded by the Right Hon. James Standfeld, who secured a triumph on the 16th regarding the repeal of the con- tagious diseases act. Mr. Stanfeld is the member for Halifax. He was a lord of the admiralty in 1563 and 1864, Indian Secretary in 1866, third lord of the treasury in 1868.and 1869, financial secretary of th» treasury in 1869 and 1571 and president of the poor law board in 1871 and 1874. He is a graduate of the university of London, and is 65 years old. Henry B. Fowler will also join the cabinet,and there is talk also of John Bright and Joseph Crowe. It is cer-
tain that Mr. Gladstone is to go straight
ahead, even ‘if this course lands him in the necessity of an almost immediate disso- lution. Regarding this probability a peli- tician, who is practically at the head of the Liberal organization of the three kingdoms, expressed the opinion last night that a general election will be held in June. Opinions differ about the effect of this crisis on Mr, Chamberlain’s personal posi- Many radicals say it will make him the strongest man in the country, because the English taxpayers will never tolerate

On board the Farragut Captain R. F. Hardwicke was untiring in his attentions and kindness to us. On,the following day the Farragutspoke the Danish ship St. Albans,of Elsimore, from Darien to Queens- town, when the captain of the latter kindly consented to take five of our number on board. Two others of our wrecked crew were transferred to the bark Annapolis and the balance of us to the British man-of-war Bellerophon.
Seeeetepnqecteietesinanetiillti a ait 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 a question that all the cheaper, lower grade of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid. As loath as we may be to admit so much against what may have been some of our household gods, 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 in- gredients except the Royal, and that they report as chemically pure. We find some of the baking powders advertised as pure, to contain, under the tests of the analysts 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 complained of by the cook, and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of the work done by these powders, the physiolo- gists assure us that lime end alum taken into the system in such quantities as this is injurious. They are not decomposed by heat nor dissolved in mixing or baking. They go with the bread, therefore, into the stomach, where their physiological effects are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils,
The question naturally arises, why do these cheap baking powder makers use these things? Alum is three cents a pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The reasons for the chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder were recently given in the New York Times in an interesting description of a new method for refining argois, or crude
icream of tartar. It 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 dol-|
lars, and that they maintain exclusive con- trol of the rights.
Prof. McMurrie, late chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture at Washing- ton, 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 ex-
tract 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 housekeeper.
“T have examined the cream of tartar used by the Royal Baking Powder Com- pany in the manufacture of their baking powder, and find it to be perfectly pure, and free from lime in any form. The chemical tests to which I have submitted the Royal Baking Powder proves it perfect- ly healthful and free from every deleteri- ous substance.

Sad Drowning Accident.
A most melancholy drowning accident oceurred at South Bar on Saturday morn- ing. Oapt. Alfred Richardson's second eldest daughter left her home for the pur- pose of drawing two buckets of weter from a well which 1s quite close to the house. Shortly after the mother of the girl, not |knowing where her daughter had gone, went to get the buckets for the purpose of drawing some water herself, but found the buckets gone. The mother visited the well and to her horror found one bucket along- side of the well, and looking down into the well she saw her daughter’s clothing float- ing on the water. It appears that the de- ceased was in the act of reaching after a | bucket. of water when her hand slipped, causing her to fail head foremost in the water. She must have immediately per- ished, as her head was down when dis- covered. The well is about 15 feet deep, has no covering, and the water reaches nearly to the surface of the ground, Miss Richardson was between 15 and 16 years of age, and was a very estimable young lady. — North Sydney Herald.
ei + ee An Italian Sensation Spoiled.
A sensation has been produced in Sicily by a most daring attempt by brigands to capture the great grandson of Admiral Nel- son. ‘The young gentleman is Hon. Victor Albert Nelson Hood, son of the present and third Baron Bridport, whose father was husband of Lady Charlotte, daughter of Admiral Nelson; his father is equerry to the Queen and Duke of Broxtein, Sicily. The family estate includes property, con- ‘taining the Castello di Mansiace, which was | given by the King of Sicily to the Admiral. Victor was residing in the castle when the brigands, who, it is believed, had | plotted to take him prisoner and hold him for a high ransom, made an attack in force |upon the palace. The servants were brave, ‘and soon rallied around their young waster. |A fierce fight ensued, which resulted in the \defeat and dispersal of the robbers, but \ouly after many of them were disabled by |wounds. Four of the brigands were taken |prisoners and turned over to the authori- ties.

Prince Alexander's Claim.
| The Journal de St. Petersburg declares ‘that Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, who claims a life title, under his appointment by Turkey, to the governorship of Eastern Roumelia, must renounce that claim and content himself with a title tothe governor- ship for the simple term of five years. The ‘paper says the powers will insist on this be- fore they ratify the action of Turkey. The Journal further declares that Prince Alex- ander makes a great mistake if he thinks 'that the Greek difficulty will influence | Europe in his favor.
