A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet ls a good
article of Soap, but to procure tits not always an
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriOus
materials and their delicate cOorfng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsiye I'M
Durties The disclosures recently made pubic
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 niuring the hair, rrita
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 to 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. II. Babbitt, of New York, the word-renOwned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest OF the kind in the United
States The renOwn of Mr. Babbitt's various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dtssem-
mated, but this latest IL the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition OF the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced 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.
:. SB. T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
aud for applications to 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 no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence OF artificial perfume tue perfection OF
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic OF Is, T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufae-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the of ladies
and children this Soap Is equally appropriate for
Rentemen's toilet, and as II makes a heavy lathcr
Il is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use.
IL is Just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y

We learn from parties who left
Columbus yesterday morning that I.
~. Risen, formerly citizen of Gin
ton, stabbed Mr.. NJ. Mcdonald, one
of the most quiet and peat cable, as
well as useful, citi: els of that place
Tuesday evening, 9th inst, about 5
o'clock, and escaped across the river
a skiff which he had in waiting,
IN took TO the woods. The particu>
lars, according to our information,
are about as follows: Risen had
been living in one of Mr.. McDoIalds
tenant houses and was behind with
his rent, and having determined to
leage the county, he had fitted up a
very small fiat-boat at Belmont with
arrangements to conduct a small show
and take photographs, in company
with one Bohana who was deserving
his family at Columbus. Risen sue
ceeded in getting his household goods
across the river without MIR. Melon
aid knowing It. and when approached
by Mr.. Med. on business at the time
the difficulty occurred, r. gave him
the id lie, in the course of the CONVEX
sation, when Mcdonald collared HIM.
Risen then stabbed him twice in the
breast in the region of the heart, and
once under or about the point Of the
left shoulder blade, with small sharp
knife. Risen was prepared for the
difficulty, and repeated the thrusts
three times before Mr.. Med. could
force him away.-Cyinton Democrat.

The disease is declared by Mr.. Great

For a grown person, four drops Of
sulphuric acid diluted in three quar-

of this treatment was instantaneous,
the acid at once destroying the para
