At Wilkesbarre there is a slight pros
pect Of resumption Of work in few days.
Operators and workingmen alike seem to
be growing tired Of the struggle and to be
anxious for a settlement. But in other
sections the outlook is not so encouraging,
In Scranton and vicinity very bad feeling
seems to exist, and the business situation
is very gloomy. Trade Of nearly every
description has been suspended, and the
workingmen, according to reports, are
more intent upon politics than anything
else. 1t is good sign, however, that the
laws are very generally obeyed. and that
crime is comparatively unknown.

Brigham Young enjoyed having great
estate, but he evidently had no ambition
to perpetuate it. His will divides his prop
erty equally among his children when the
youngest Of them becomes of age. The
estate is largely real estate. and is prob
ably worth $2,0OO,O0O. The will was
made four years ago. Brigham Young
was the father of fifty-six children and had
seventeen wives, sixteen sons and twenty
eight daughters. The will aims to make
an equitable division Of the property be-
tween all the wives and children, with nc
preference to any. Deceased held many
interests in trust for the church and fol-
individuals. His executors are directed tC
turn them over properly. The church il
forbidden by law to hold more than $50, O0O
worth of property; and SO it was largely
held by Brigham Young in trust. His
friends will not entertain the notion that
he ever abused that trust. There is no in.
yentory of the property or the estate, and
it is widely scattered. With the country
prosperous and full of money. it would be
worth twice the above valuation. Recent
" Brigham Young endowed an academy
with lands at Provo and another at Logan
the latter with 1900 acres. He had de-
termined to endow one at Salt Lake, but
did not live long enough to do so. A per-
son present at the reading of the will says
1t seemed to be very satisfactory to all
concerned, His manner of disposing Of
his property leaves the pleasingly EN-
barrassing question of dover out of view
altogether, and ought to afford fine op.
portunity 10 some gentle will-breaker.

The South Carolina Indictments


The indictment of so many of the lead
ing republican ex-ofhcials of South
Carolina, who, few years ago, held that
state in their hands and ruled it at pleas
ure, is denounced as persecution by many
republican papers; it is called breach of
of the contract by which Gov. Hampton
secured the removal of troops from
Columbia and proof Of the recreancy of
South Carolina whites to solemn obIiga
TONS That so many republicans should
be indicted certainly does look as though
party malice had something to 90 with it.
But when we examine the charges pre-
ferred and the confessions made by some
of the accused persons. this suspicion is
dissipated. Some of the indictments are
for forgery; some for raising the amounts
of warrants; some for issuing fraudulent
pay-certifcates tor service in the legisa
ture and some for bribery None of these
are political felonies, and if The accused
persons shall be convicted, and it is very
probable they will be, the state prison viii
be at the end of their public career. 1t il
a fact worth considering in making uI
our estimate Of the case, that the granC
jury which found the indictments wai
composed of nine white men and eigh
colored men, and the witnesses agains
the indicted ex-oficials are their owl
clerks. The evidence against them is sale
to be clear and convincing. Northern re
publicans have good reason for feeling
ashamed of the South Carolina rascal
who for eight years were upheld by thu
federal administration aud made the re-
cipients of its confidence and favor; but re
publicanism has done and permitted man,
things it has reason for being ashamed OF
If it undertakes to defend all its knaves i
will have more than its hands full.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet Is a good
article OF Soap, but to procure 1t Is not always an
easy matter. Many OF the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse aud deleterious
materials and their delicate COlOrug and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely objectionable, especial
~ II applied to the head njuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF a gentlemen who makes the scent
ing - Soaps his business; he recently declared that
PERI Ons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven 10 ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The dificulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obyiated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
| States. The renown of Mr.. Babbttts various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, MIR. Bahbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
| duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
!" B. I. Rabbits Toilet Soap is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' 1t Is altogether unequaled in itt
emOilient properties. This Soap is not perfumed
the Ingredients being Of such absolute purity as &C
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials The most refined taste considers the
absence of artificial perfume the perfection Of
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of B. T
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
