A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet Is q good
article OF Soap but to procure it Is not always an
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the GISrGet are made from coarse and deleterOus
materials and their delicate coiOrng and fragrant
perfume too often enHceal the most repulsIye nm
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
y If applied to the head injuring the hair, iTrita
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 az last obyiated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
b. Il. Babbitt, of New York, the World-FenOWned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest Of the kind in the United
States The renown Of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
ductions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert.
ment, M. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition OF the frest toilet soap ever intro
GHced. The principal ingredients 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' ii is altogether unequaled in its
emOlent properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require nc 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 ii the most ealthful
and agreeable article of the kind eyer manufac.
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies'
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and Ii makes heavy lathcr
1t is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use.

INCREASING THE PUBLIC
DERY'

Few are aware of the fact that the
national debt is increasing instead of
diminishing. Chase s(Maine,) Chron-
icie says:
The debt statements Of May show
al issue oftwenty-fve millions of ID
per cent bonds with reduction of
twenty millions of 6 per cent bonos.
Why dom some of those organs that
SO fear an imitation OF nOn-interest
bearing debt (greenbacks) object to
their imitation of the interest bearing
debt. Why don't Jay Gould's Iri-
bunf denOunce the course that is
adding to the burden of the masses!
over a million of greenbacks have
been destroyed since the resumption
act, and almost million of fractional
currency has gone the same road. In
the place of the greenbacks we have
National Bank bills on which the
producers have to pay two interests.
In the place ofthe fractional currency
we have silver coin that is worth less
than paper. and we also are paying
interest on that. The one aim of our
political jugglers has been and still is
to increase our interest bearing debt
and reduce our non-interest bearing
debt. To change greenbacks into
gold bearing bonds or National Bank
bills. Money is scarce and the mer-
chants and manufacturers are obliged
to 90 to the banks and have money
while they trust out their goods.
Every month collections come harder
and so it will he as long as every
months sees our load of interests
piled higher. The cry Of 'honest
money" has dug the financial grave
of many an honest man, and the curse
is not removed yet. When shall it
