THE PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF SUNDAY
Sunday is Gods special present to the
working man, and one of its chief OBJ
jects is to prolong his life, and to preserve
efficient his working tone. In the vital
system it works like q compensation
pond; it replenishes the spirit, the elas-
ITCHY and vigor, which the last six days
have drained away, and supplies the force
which is to fill the six days succeeding;
and in the economy Of existence it an
swers the same purpose as the economy of
income is answered by savings bank.
The frugal man who puts away q pound
to-day, and another pound next month,
and who, in quiet way, is putting by
his stated pound from time to time, when
he gets old and f'rail gets not only the
same pound back again. but good many
besides. And the conscientious man.

Nor we! We can't imagine, for the life
of us, what there was to overwhelm him,
unless it was the Gait House whisky, which
is reported to be we'll calculated to tangle
the legsI OF statesmen of Van Zandt's
calibre.
Il do not know why 1t is, said he
again, that the words on their wing from
my lips seem to be bathed in tears"
This mystery is as great as the other,
and we do not wonder that Van Zandt
wondered. There seems to be a regular
season of snivelling and snorting on the part
OF northern statesmen, and their noses are
as red as the comb of turkey gobbler,
though what the deuce the snuffling is
about we cannot imagine. We note, too,
that the weeping and hopping seems to
be confined exclusively to the northern
participants in the exhibition, the south
erners maintaining a GOODNESS that shows
them to possess little sense, even if they
are lacking IN gush.

The FIRE 10 the patent ofice-properly
speaking in the interior department
means much. When the democratic house
was known to be fixed fact, Secor Robe
sons and Belknap's departments took fire.
and, but for the prompt exposure by the
press Of the motives for such fires, the
records Of the departments would, doubt
less, have disappeared in the smoke Of the
flames. Ii is now acknowledged that the
files and correspondence of the general
land Office have been destroyed" aud it is
q curious coincidence that this took place
under the management of Boss Shepherd
and his Washington police superintendent.
The land office records were full OF evi.
dence Of frauds committed under Delanc
aud others; and when committees of the
next house inquire into such frauds
they will be confronted at the start with
the lack Of proper records. The Indian
bureau and the pension office, 10 both oil
which fraud is known to have existed, are
iu the same building; and is not unlikely
that their records will be found to have
partly or wholly vanished 10 connection

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is a good
article of Soap, but to procure ii is not always
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 repulsiye I'M
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
ly il applied to the head; injurng the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing 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
persOns engaged in this employment 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. T. Rabbit, of New York. the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
Is ny lar the greatest of the kind in the United
states. The reuoWn Of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dssem-
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 perfectinE the
composition of the irest 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
yzs''B T. Rabbits 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' is altogether unequaled in its
cnOllieul properties. MS soap Is not pGrlumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity as 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. II
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac.
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and 1t makes heavy lather
1t is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS
1t s Just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N Y,

In reference to importations, it states that

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate relief.
three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 10000
dozen bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where il failed was reported.
Such medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try
