A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police.

Some time since a woman delivered a lecture in Lancashire against Christianity, in which she declared that the Gospel narrative of the life of Christ is a myth or fable. One of the mill hands who listened to her obtained leave to ask a question. " The question," said he, " I want to ask the lady i3 this : Thirty years ago I was a curse to this town, and everybody shrank from me that had any respect for himself. I often tried to do better, but could not succeed. The teetotalers got hold of me, but I broke the pledge so often that they said it was no use trying me any longer. Then the police got hold of ine, and I was taken before the magistrates, and they tried And next I was sent to prison, and the warders tried what they could do ; but though they all tried, I was nothing better, but rather worse. Now you say that Christ is a myth. But when I tried, and the teetotalers the police, the magistrates, and the warders of the prisons, all tried in vain, then Christ took hold of me, touched my heart, and made me a new man. And now I am a member of the Church, a class leader, a superintendent of the Sunday- school; and I ask, if Christ is a myth, how comes it to pass that that myth is stronger than all the others put together ?" The lady was silent. " No, lady," continued he; " say what you will, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation." THBPOLIOE WATCH, AS SUPPLIED TO NEARLY EVERY FORCE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

MYSTERIOUS ILLNESSES THERE are in this World many mysterious things: mysterious appearances and mys- terious disappearances, if one is to credit the reports of Spiritualists on the one hand, and the Police Notices on the other. Those mysteries, however, are of very occasional occurrence, and do not affect generally domestic life. Not so the mysterious illnesses, which were recently the subject of correspondence in THE TIMES, and are too frequently the source of anxiety in the household. Sanitary science has put the heads of households on the qui vive for defective drainage and impure water supply, as the sources of many 4 ' mys- terious illnesses;" and the study of the Chemistry of Food has revealed others. The Professors of Chemistry have not thought it beneath their dignity to analyse the articles of our daily food, and the recent discoveries of an American Chemist have brought to light a subtle poison in cheese when in a certain condition of decay. There is one source, how- ever, which does not appear to have been touched upon, and that is the use of the cheap baking powders sold in bulk. Some of these contain enormous quantities . of alum, a material which costs less than a penny a pound, and saves the employment of more costly materials, A. cheap baking powder is frequently made by mixing Jib. of alum, J lb. carbonate of soda, and 1 lb. flour or ground rice. This poisonous mixture costs ^ d. per lb., and hence can be retailed in J lb. packets or parcels at Id. each, and can even be put up in 1 lb, fancy boxes to tempt the purchaser, with considerable profit to the manufacturer. Now, alum will undoubtedly raise the bread, and even impart to it a tempting whiteness ; but it will also cause ulceration of the bowels, chronic dyspepsia, and stomach complaints, which are frequently found amongst those " mysterious illnesses" which afflict the members of certain families, and puzzle the family doctor to assign to them their proper cause. Much light might be thrown upon the subject if every doctor having patients suffering from such disorders would make an enquiry as to how the family bread and pastry is made, and what baking powder is used in its making, But the best way of avoiding the evil is to purchase only the baking powder sold in packets and patent boxes bearing the well- known name of BORWICK, whose reputation is the surest guarantee against adulteration, So long as false economy leads householders to purchase so- called 44 cheap" articles, of makers of whom they know nothing, articles which may contain all kinds of injurious ingredients, we shall have complaints of " mysterious illnesses," for no course of treatment will give relief whilst the source of the disease is to be found in our daily food. An evidence of the soundness of the policy of buying only the best, may be seen in the fact that Borwick's powder has found its way into the Royal Household, where the Queen's private baker regularly uses it, and into the Palace of the Queen of the Nether- lands. It is also used in the Army and Navy, and in the Royal Hospitals and large Insti- tutions under medical superintendence. These facts account for Borwick's powder having obtained Five Gold Medals, and for its having by far the largest sale of any baking powder in the world, It is used as generally in the hut of the squatter in Australia and the tent of the soldier on foreign service, as it is in the British household, and there is scarcely a corner of the globe where the name of 4 4 BORWICK " is not " a household word."
