on Justice Fields recent utterances as to

1t is all right for the president and his
party TO avoid talking politics on such
tour as they are making. We wish, how
ever, that they would once in while get
off of the Handwriting topic, and tackle
something of greater general interest.
Our people are pretty well convinced by
this time that Mr.. Hayes is a great hand
shaker, and that he has a pleasant and

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is a good
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market made from coarse and deleteriOus
materials, and their delicate colorIng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm.
purities The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly II applied to the head injurng the hair irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe Headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF gentlemen who makes the scent
ing Of Soaps his business; he recently declared that
pers 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 difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last Obyiated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical ekill of Mr.
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the word-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
Is by Tar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr. Rabbits 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. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinS the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced. 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. Babbtt'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 it's
eInOlIent properties. his soap Is not per1umed,
tue ingredients being of such absolute 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 it the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufao-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and Children this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentemen's toilet, and as II makes heavy lather
it is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
II is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,

Of the public u very remarkable dis

Are America and England drifting
apart in the matter Of language, and
will we some day boast, as Poe SO ar
IDENTIFY desired, OF new and peculiar
language OF our own? In all new inveR-
tions. the two countries seem, as IL by
some combativeness, or obstinacy of
disposition, to select wholly different
words. For instance, in the matter oil
railroads, everything, to the small
est particular, is differently called in
England and this country. What we
call railroad they style a railway.
What we style the main line they desig.
nate trunk line. Our cars are to them
carriages; our horse cars, tramways
depots and engines are never so known
In England, and even Luggage is trans
lated In English parlance luggage.
The difference is radical, and one that
descends to the smallest particu.
lars. 1t may be the result Of the radi-
cal difference in our railroad systems,
but 1t does look as IL that long looked
for separation in language had begun,
and that we might yet have that badge
or every free country, q national Ian
guage.

The Thihedaux Sentinel has discov-
cred that It costs more to board

poses. therefore, the abolition OF the

treated as distinguished vfsitors and
lodged at the hotel. There will be no
danger, he declares, OF their running
of, as they certainly will not leave as
long az they are comfor ably boarded

might be tried.

It hos been shown that q negro field
hand makes more bales OF cotton and
more hogsheads ofsugar now than before
the war, but that, at the same time. the
proportion of field hands to the total ne
gro population has decreased. and Ia con-
stantly decreasing. For instance. where
hundred negroes, twenty years ago.
turned out forty laborers. and Ave years
ago thirty laborers, they will now pro-
duce only twenty. The percentage OF
producers and workers to the popula-
tion liz yearly increasing among the
whites; it Is unfortunately falling of
among the negroes, and 1t Is this fact
that has made the latter feel 80 acutciy
the sting OF hard times. A negro Ia
borer now works harder than he did ten
years ago, and produces more, but in
stead OF being better Off as he should
be, he Is, in fact, worse OFF, since the
number OF persons he has to support in
idleness is twice rs great as 1t used to be.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-02-27

Our late srops paid, and q good por,
ton OF the money they begot went iato
the pockets Of the negro laborers; but
only temporarily, very temporarily,
like water In sieve. The last bale, the
last hogshead are not yet shipped and
the negre's portion Is long since spent,
without anything in the world to show
therefor.
Economy Is Of course very difficult
lesson to learn, but it does seem as II
the negroes ought to have learned the
alphabet OF 1t In the nine adventurous
years OF schooling they have passed
through, and yet they are apparently
rs ignorant and as uaeducated In this
matter as In the days when, to them,
there was no such thing as money.
