Mysterious Arrival.

On Friday night small sloop was OBJ
served entering Baltimore harbor, manned
by one colored man and carrying only one
sail, the jib, out of which the bonnet had
been taken. She had no mainsail, and ap-
peared to have had rough usage, as her
paint was discolored and she looked to be
in bad repair. Her crew of one ran her up
near the Canton steamboat wharf, and
casting anchor, lowered boat and pulled
hastily ashore, reglecting to stow his single
sail. On landing he pushed the small boat
adrift and disappeared. Some people who
saw this performance, thinking, it strange,
reported the affair to the police, and alook-
out was kept for the man, but he did not
return, and Captain Kenny seized the
vessel. She is sloop-rigged, decked over
and has small cabin, in which was found
a stove, some cooking utensils, but nc
papers or any other article that gives O
a clue to her owners. She has recently
been supplied with new topmast, and on
her stern was found almost obliterated by
paint not yet dry, her name, "Ths
Native, Norfolk"

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet Is 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 Colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
" if applied to the head njuring the hair, irrta
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
pers ons engaged in this employment were short
Iiyed 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 ObVated, 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.. Babb1tts 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 Mr. Bahbtt has succeeded in perfectnA the
composition of the irest 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 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 unequaed in its
Vi'OH' !'AopClt t"s' HE SOap 10 Hob PSIluiueu
the Ingredients being Of such absolute purity as 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.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac-
/ tured
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate fol
gentlemens toilet, and as it makes heavy lathel
! It is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS
II is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. 7
