A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet Is & good
article of Soap, but 10 proeCEe it s not always an
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deeterous
materials and their delicate COlOrlng 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 are
now known TO be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly 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
livedI from seyen 10 ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be f0l'
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure artl-
Gle of toilet soap is at last nbviated, 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.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved,
After wears of patient labor and scientific expert
ment. Mr. Rabbit has succeeded in perfectinG the
composition of the firest toilet soap 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.
.s.''B r. Babbitts Toilet Soap is the trade mark
iby which this elegant toilet luxury ia designated
and 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 such absolute purity
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 manufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and as it makes heavy lather
IL is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS us6
II is just being placed upon the market but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,

Proud of Him.

The South Carolina people are little
proud of their governor. The Charleston
Ne,os and Courier, in some remarks on his
speech at Rockford, and the effect of it,
says:
South Carolina is blessed, indeed! In
the hour of deepest peril deliverer was
raised up who released her children from
bondage, and who, wherever he goes
brings fresh hoIor to his state and new
hope and comfort to his people. The
south had greater than Hampton 10 war
but has none more eminent 10 peace!"

Secretary Sherman asserts positively
that in the event OF the Republicans OBJ
tanning majority in the Ohio Legislature
he will be candidate for election to the
United States Senate. This fact accounts
for his willingness to see the poor Ohio
clerks at Washington assessed and sent
home to vote. They constitute large
proportion of the republican voting popu.
lation of Ohio, and their presence at the
polls is very important TO the success Of
Secretary Sherman's ambition.

Thirty men are in camp on the Upper Weiser
until joined by the regular troops with riders. to
move Dortbwsrd. The Neg Peices scouts are
known to be on the Weiser, as their signal fires
have been seen, and they doubtless have line of
signals established between the Weiser and their
camp on Salmon River.
Tue position OF the hostiles on Salmon River is
one of great natural strength, in which they will
be able 10 occupy the attention of all the troops
cent against them. IL will be impossible 10 pre-
vent their receiving reniorcements. L. is folly to
rely upon the peaceful professions of the Indians.
Tue old men aud women will remain upon the
reservations or in camp. while the young men will
hold themselves in readiness to take the war path.
The Indian camp at salmon River is about 800
miles from Bose City, There is danger that
while attention is being directed there and all the
forces are being sent in that direction disaffecte
Indians who have not yet Joined the hostile camp,
may open game 10 other quarters.
