FAIR.-A special meeting of the Directors
of the Delaware Valley Farmers and Me-
chanics. Agricultural Society was held at the
5Lambertyille House, May 3D. After some
preliminary business, the board in body
went to view the grounds upon which it was
proposed to hold the fair. On their return
resolution was passed to lease the premises
of George s. Holcombe. This seemed to be
satisfactory to the body. A resolution was
also passed to call in the first installments of
five dollars on each share Of capital stock of
the Association. The Association seems now
to be on favorable footing with every pros

A despatch from Washington says the
friends of the supreme court are interest
iog themselves in an effort to obtain
mileage for the judges while travelling on
their circuits. The majority of the public
will be surprised to learn that these Off
GERS are not included 10 the law which
allows ali other officials their expenses
while travelling in the discharge of their
duties There is certainly no good reason
why an exception should be made 10 their
case. The! salaries paid them are not
large, and it is hardly right to ask them
to expeDd a large portion Of their in
comes in travelling over so wide territory
as their circuits, with the extension of the
country, have become. ......

THERE is a complaint just now that the
president has not sent in certain nomins-
tons 10 which the neutrality-suspicious. are
particularly interested, as the custom house
nominations in Baltimore and some other
places There is threat, too, that any
removals made by him without waiting for
the expiration of the officers term shall
not be confirmed by the senate. If this
threat is carried out, aud if the machine
men really mean to resist the presidents
right to removal of a subordinate, there
will of course be trouble at once.

A Bug-Bear to Brighten Republicans.
For some days the Republicans have been
terribly exercised over the report that the
democrats were going to introduce reso'
lutiou indorsing Mr.. Hayes southern
policy. There is no reason why the demo-
cratic party should father any such resolu-
ton, nor do we believe any serious inten-
ton ever existed in the minds OF the prom
inent members of doing any such foolish
thing. If any Endorsement is to be made,
it ought to come from the administration
side Of the house, who have accepted it as
it has been laid down by the democratic
party for the last ten years, and enforced
by its action 10 the last congress in refusing
to pay the army for its military domino.
ton in Louisiana and South Carolina.
There is no necessity Cor the democrats Of
placing themselves in the attitude, at this
late day, of endorsing policy which they
have affirmed in and out of season, anC
which has been simply accepted by th'
present administration. They take tn,
view that no republican in congress cal
vote to indorse it without admitting tina
the southern policy of the democrats ha
been all right, and that of the republican
all wrong. 1t is the embarrassment of !
forced admission which has caused s.
much trepidation among the republican
members in Washington. and has calle'
for so many conferences during tie pas
two weeks. They may, however, posses
their souls in peace, for we do not believ
the resolution has yet been incubated an
will never be offered on the democratic sid
of tho house or senate.

which brought Jay Gould west few days
ago, was to look over the ground aud con p
suit various parties with reference to the
formation of new telegraph company, 10
opposition to the Western Union, in order
to break the monopoly. One fact which
gave some color to the rumor, and in
which. perhaps, it originated, was that
Gould has recently sold out all lis West

recently carried very heavy load.

Mr. Randall struck the keynote of the
situation, and gave wholesome advice TO
his party when he declared, on taking the
speakers chair, extravaganza on the part
of the peoples servants would be an
objectionable crime" If the democrats
adopt this sentiment as an article Of faith
and live up to it, they will deserve the
confidence of the country, and do much to
relieve the present distress. The way to
recovery from existing prostration is
through severe economy, public as we'll as

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet a good
article of Soap but to procure 1t 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 coorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive 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 II applied to the head ljuring the hair, irrita
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

period during which the occupation could be fol-
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 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 dissem-
mated, but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown TO the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Bahbitt has succeeded in perfectinS the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
duced 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.
- 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' it Is altogether unequaed in lite
emollient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being of such absolute purity 10
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.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders It the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind manufac-
