A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet is q good
article of Soap, but to procure ii is always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriUns
materials and their delicate COlorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most r3pusive 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

ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred IRON

period during which the occupation could be fol-

The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap il at last Obvated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill Of Mr.
b. L. Babhitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment

States. The renown of Mr. Rabbits various pro-

crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert

unparalleled in this department of industry.

tion Buildings for the use oil exhlOt
tors from the United States, to the
exclusion Of other parties who have
been applicants therefor. In order
that our industries may be properly
represented at the Exhibition, an
appropriation win be needed for the
payment OF salaries and expenses Of
commissioners, for the Transports
tion Of goods and for other purposes
in connection with the object in
view, and as May next is the time
fixed for the opening of the Exhibi-
ton, if our citizens are to have the
advantages of this international
competition for the trade of other
Nations, the necessity of immediate
action is apparent. To enable the
United States to cooperate in the
international Exhibition which was
held at Vienna in 1878, Congress
then passed a joint resolution ma
king an appropriation of two hun
bred thousand dollars, and author
izing the President to appoint GER

and scientific men, who should at
tend the Exhibition and report their
proceedings and observations to him
Provision was also made for the APP
pointment of a number of honorary
Commissioners. have felt that
prompt action by Congress in accept
ing the invitation ofthe Government
of France is of so much interest to
the people of this country, and so
suitable to the cordial relations be-
tween the Governments Of the two
countries, that the subject might
properly be presented Gorthe atten-
tion of your present session.
The Government of Sweden and
Norway has addressed an official in.
vitation to this Government to take
part in the International Prison
Congress, to be held at Stockholm
next year. The problem which the
Congress proposes to Study-how to
diminish crime-is one in which all
civilized Nations have an interest
in common, and the Congress of
Stockholm seems likely to prove the
most important commission ever
held for the study Of this graveQues-
ton. Under authority Of a joint
resolution of Congress, approved
February 16, 1873, a Commissioner
was appointed by my predecessor to
represent the United States upon
that occasion, and the Prison Con-
gress having been at the earnest de-
sire of the Swedish Government post
poned to 1878, his commission was
renewed by me. An appropriation
of $4,000 was made in the Sundry
Civil Service Act of 1875 to meet the
expenses of the Commissioner. l
recommend the reappropriation Of
that sum for the same purpose, the
former appropriation having been
covered into the Treasury and being
no longer available for the purpose
without further action by Congress.
The subject is brought to your at
tention at this time in view of the
circumstances which render it high
ly desirable that the Commissioner
should proceed to the discharge Of
his important duties Immediately.
As the several acts of Congress
providing for the detailed reports
from the different departments Of
the Government require their sub
mission at the beginning of the reg.
ular annual session, | defer until
that time any further reference to
subjects of public interest.
