A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet good
article of Soap, but to procure is not always an
easy matter Many of the most expensive Soups 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 nuring the hair, lrrta
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
PER- ons 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 obvlated, 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.. Babbltts 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 wears of patient labor and scientific expert
ment Mr. Rabbit has succeeded in perfectinS the
composition of the firest 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;
xa'iB. It 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 fs
the ingredients being of snch absolute purity as to
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 healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manu1ac'
tured.

New YORK, May 17.-The chronicle of the
Bennett-May duel, as it was presented to
the public from day to day in the newspa-
pers in January last year. when the quarrel
between these two gentlemen was the lead
ing theme of discussion iii New York socie-
ty, was imperfect. A true story of the duel
now for the first time is made public. Five
I,persons were present at the duel, two prin-
Cipals, two seconds and DR.. Phelps, sur
geon who acted for both parties.
The latter in familiar conversation In
February last, on the evening previous to
Mr.. Wilkes departure for Havana, said the
parties took their places and word was Civ
en- to fire. The direction was to fire at the
word fire and not after the word three"
Almost instantly upon the word Mr.. May
fired. 'One," 'two,n "three,' followed,
and Mr.. Bennett who pulled at his trigger,
and evidently with the best will in the
world, did not succeed in getting his weapon
off. "
He was baffied by the hardness, or rathet
stiffness of the lock- His second at once in
terposed and claimed that as Bennett had
suffered his risk and disadvantage through
no fault of his own, he was entitled to re-
turn shot at Mr.. May. The claim being ac-
cording to rule, was of course allowed, and
May took his place, empty-handed, before
