IT is reported that in Washington,
among southern democrats. on the day
after election, there was no demonstrative
rejoicing over the sweeping democratic VIC
tory in Ohio, but itlwould be doing them
great injustice to say that it was none the
less heartfelt. 1t is, perhaps, true that
they view with shadow of sadness this
result, as an evidence of the deep-seated
prejudice against the south of northern
republicans. They, of course, attribute
the sweeping character Of the democratic
success in no small degree to the disaffec-
tion of republicans with the southern pol
icy Of Hayes. They cannot but feel that
this is unjust to them, and therefore their
rejoicing is tinged with sadness. They do
not believe, however, that the democratic
victory is solely due to republican disaffec-
tion. They say that Ohio is naturally a
democratic state, and that it was only by
the unlimited use of money last fall that
the republicans carried it. A great many
respectable people were disgusted by the
returning board frauds and the unrighteOus
decisions of the electoral commission. and
these men all voted the democratic ticket

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 and deleterious
materials and their delicate Colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made puDHc
regarding this subject are 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, 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
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 obvlated, 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 Tar the greatest OF the kind in the United
States. The renown Of MIR. Babbitts varlons pro-
ductiOns has for many years been widely dtssem-
mated but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown TO the numerous victories already achieved
Afte years Of patient labor and scientific expert
ment kir Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinE the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unpara; ;leled 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 the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled in its
emollient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being of snch 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. T
Babbitt's 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 as II makes heavy lather
It is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS uss.
1t is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,

Judge pillon on squatters, Rights

Judge Dillon on Squatters Rights.
In the circuit court at Des Moines, Ia,
on Friday last, a judgment was rendered
against number of river land settlers, but
the plaintiff failed to secure an order of
court for their ejectment, until further or
ders. This is in pursuance of a policy
marked out by Judge Dillon, of Davenport,
and ruled upon by him when the question
was decided whether occupying claimants
were entitled to compensation for improve
ments only since the termination of the
suits to dispossess, or since the settlement
of the land. He decided they were en-
titled to Fpay for all improvements made
since the occupation of the land by them.
This order that writs of ejectment shall
not issue until further orders by the court,
is to give occupying claimants an oppor-
tuDity to file their claims for improvement,
aud is Of vast importance. In many cases
the improvements are SO costly that it il
quite likely the land will not be taken fol-
them aud in all cases it will give the
settler something for his labor and time
some return for the seasons of toll anC
hardship, and greater or less fund to be
gin life again in a new place, if they mus
give up the old. 1t seems most right
eous judgment and will crafty the friend
Of Justice every where, but will be halle,
with unbounded delight by poor me-
whose years Of unremitting toll has mad
them unfit to grapple another life task an
taught them to love what they have cult
vated so assiduously.

private executive wire; but, after receiv-

Astonishing Success.

It 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 diving consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle. as 10000
dozen bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was reported.
