Editor Roberts defends his history

From The Utica Herald.
The Hartford Oolrdnt, in a very cordial
notice Of an address delivered at Oriskany,
takes exception to the statement that at
Fort Stanwix the stars aud stripes were
''for the FIRST time raised in victory over
British colOrs;" aud adds that ''other rec
ords have it that the order creating the stars
aud stripes was not promulgated until later
aud that the first unfolding of that flag was
at Burgoyne's surrender"
On theI4th of June, l777, congress for.
mally "Resolued, That the flag Of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union be
thirteen stars, white 10 the blue field, rep
resenting a new constellation" Thus 1t is
indisputable that the stars aud stripes had
been adopted as the flag Of the republic
before the siege of Fort Stanwix. tits moi
claimed that any official order on the sub
ject had been received at that frontier for
on tho 9th Of August, l777. But the ties
timony of Colonel Willett, who led thu
sortie, in bis published narrative, is posi-
tive that the stars and stripes were hoateC
above the British colors on that day. H,
also states that the flag was made OF shirt
Of the garrison and a blue camlet cloak
captured from the British at Peekskill; ant
daughter of Gen. Schuyler is authority
for the statement that the red came from
the cloak Of q woman in the fort Al
though 'the order was not promulgated
until later" and although the flag was no
furnished by the War Department, tn
proof is conclusive that the stars and stripe
were lifted in triumph at Fort Stanwix OF
the 9th day of August, l777, and Burgoyn
did not surrender until more than tw
months later. The only pattern the gar
rison had was doubtless the resolution Q
congress, aud that enhances the credit {
Gansevoort and his men who first lifted tn
stars and stripes in victory.

The New Craze.

FROM Inc Troy wing.
But If Congress will take into its posses
sion all the great lines ofroad, the railroad
managers will be men appointed by COVER
nor and the railroad capital will be the pro.
perty of the government, The danger APP
pretended by the Tribune could not arise,
for the government would own and control
the railroads. The vast power Of railroad
corporations would be extinguished,
for there could be no longer any such
corporations. In Russia, in Germany,
ip Belgium and in France, railroads are
owned and operated by government, with
what profit 10 the state treasures we do
not know, bat with great advantage to the
public. Our government could take the
roads and issue to the stockholders a Ger
ti6cate emitting the holder to a certain
number of shares, and guaranteeing to pay
to the holder four per cent annually for
ever. The stock would become a favoritC
investment. ltwOuld not be necessary fol

that cross the continent, great lines tTavers

Those who expected the war in the east

Those who expected the war in the east
to cause an Immediately increased demand
for American breadstufs, as well as an ad-
vance in their price, have thus far been
disappointed. England has certainly i'm
ported more wheat and -four since Russia
declared war against Turkey than before,
but Russia at the same time has increased
its exports Of these same commodities to
England in a wonderful degree. For In
stance, the return Of the British board of
trade show. that the importations of wheat
from Russia into England during the
month of June last amounted to $780,
O0O while during the corresponding month
of 1875 their value was only $685. 900.
The London Economist, in discussing
these figures, attributes the comparatively
large supplies Of wheat received in Eng
land from the east, ito the effect of the
war in Fastening the dispatch of all availa-
bic grains from the disturbed territories,
some Of it coming by rail through Germany,
by the way Of Marseilles." That it was
the war;" the editor Of the Economists
continues, land not the recent rise il
prices which gave this impulse to the con,
signments of grain from abroad, may be
gathered from the fact that the months
imports of wheat from the undisturbet
countries, notably America, are much less
instead Of greater, notwithstanding the
high prices" Another cause assigned fol-
the increased exports from Russia is the
depreciation Of the domestic paper money
in that country. Paper roubles. which
were worth thirty pence each in exchange

worth only twenty-four pence nova dep.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is o good
article of Soap but to procure II Is not always an
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate cOlorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsIve i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made pubnc
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
y II applied to the head injuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF u gentlemen who makes the scent
ing OF Soaps his business be recently declared that
persons 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 difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last ObYiaFed, however,
Is, Il. Babbitt, OF New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by Jar the greatest of the kind in the United
States The renown of Mr.. Babbitt's various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely digsem-
mated, but this latest is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfeetng the
composition of the firest toilet soap ever intro
0uced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
-"B. 7. Babbitt's 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 ladee, 1t is altogether unequaed in lite
emollient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being of such sbsolute purity to
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 1t the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever mnnufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use OF ladies
