Reports from oyer the border now indl-
cate the possibility of an insurrection in
Mexico against the leader of the revolu-
ton of Textepec, in which it is more than
likely that Negrete will strike hands with
Mendez, and the northern states will be
left to their own devices entirely. Ihelr
present temper may be CLEANED from the
tenor of the contemptuous message from
the Mexican General, Falcon, transmitted
to Gen. Ord. The accounts so far received

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet IS a good
article of Soap but to procure it 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 COiOrng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made pubnc
regarding this sun ect are 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 a gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business; he 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 Obviated however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
b. II. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dtssem-
mated, but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years Of patient labor and scientihc expert
ment, Mr. Bahbitt has succeeded in perfectlnk the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced. 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. T. 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 ladies, it Is altogether unequaled in its
emOllieut properties This Soap is not perfumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require 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. Il
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most heathful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet. and il makes a heavy lather
1t is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
