Ex-Gov. Palmer Mentioned.

Louisville Evening News
Tx Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, is men.
toned as suitable man for the demo
cratic presidential nomination IN 1880
provided his views on the financial cues
tons are right. He is an ADLER man thar
Hendricks, of Indiana, and his geograph.
zeal position is better than that of almost
any other prominent democrat In the
west.
No better nomination could possibly be
made than that of Gov. Palmer. In
point of ability and fitness for the office
ne has no superior and few EQUALS. As
to his financial policy, he is in favor OF
silver money, and the reconciliation OF
silver and the repeal of the resumption
act will straighten out the financial aues-
ton during the present year. and thus
remove that question from politics as a
distinct party issue.
AS man and as statesman, Gov,
Palmer stands at the head of western
politicians, and as to geographical position
there is certainly much In that. Eastern
candidates are not so popular at the west,
and besides the democratic candidates
have heretofore been chosen from the east,
It's, perhaps. too soon to speculate on
the candidates for 1880, but as is we'll
known we should have preferred Gov.
Palmer to Gov. Tilden, in 1876, and we
have not since changed our opinion. If the
rest are suited with our candidates, we
shall be more than suited, we shall be de-
lighted,

A Perfect Toilet SOAP.

First among the requisites of the toilet a good
article OF soap but to procure it is not always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials, and their delicate coorIng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
Purltles. 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; injurng 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
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle OF toilet soap is at last 0bviated, however
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
D. L. Rabbit, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment

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.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinS the
composition of the irest toilet soap intro
ouced. The principal ingredients the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original and the result is simply
unparalleled IN this department OF industry

by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled in its
emoll1ent properties. This Soap is not perfumed
the lngredents being OF such absolute purity 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 manufae-
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
it is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use

| Silver Imitation.
| Among the many absurdities into which
the gold partisans are betrayed by their I'M
reasonable hostility to the silver bill is the
notion that, if passed, it will lead to a
dangerous imitation of the money volume
The unlimited coinage of silver dollars. thew
tell US, will gorge the country with them.
| create an oyer. abundance of money, put IN
prices and produce another such imitation as
we had during the war.
The answer to this nonsense is that the
increase of metal or real money is not in
tiation any more then the increase of the
supply of wheat, or corn, or potatoes yould
be:s Lit 1t were, every addition to the
gold supply made by the working of mines
would be Imitation, too. There is no method
OF arresting the annual produce of gold and
silver mines in the world: thew are worked
more and more assiduously every wear and
teey are contributing to the worlds supply
OF real money every year. The mint re-
port estimates that the gold and silver
paoduct OF our own mines in 1876 was
SSo,4'oo0'UUO, and IN 1877 $50, 900,
Ihese mines, therefore, are contributing
ABOUT Soo,O0O,O00 year to the worlds
STOCK OF money-$45, 100000 gold and
soo'oO00o0 silver. If the gold advocates
are correct, this is initiating the currency at
the enormous rate of $45, 100000 a year
IN gold alone. and to prevent disaster we
ought to pass law forbidding the working
OF gold mines in the United States under
neavy penalties. But the truth is, the
multiplication of real money is not infia.

Foolish Fellows.

The ways of the buffalo as described
by travellers i'm the far west are as
strange as those of the Heather Chinee.
If herd of these animals gets on the
north side of track. it will stand
stupidity gazing, though the locomotive
passes within a hundred yards of it.
But if two miles from the track on the
south side, the whole herd is throw n

each individual buffalo will 90 at it
with the desperation of despair, plung-
ing against or between the locomotive
and the car. There was a notable in
stance of this in the winter of lS7l-72,
when the ponds and small rivers were
frozen solid, and the buffalo was forced
to the larger rivers fer water. The
conductors of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, after having trains
ditched twice in week, learned to have
a very decided respect for the idiosyn-
crasies of the buffalo, and when there
was possibility of striking herd on
the rampage for the north side of the
track, stopped the train until it had
passed.

SCIENTIFIC.

Friction Of Steam Engines.-The diff
culties which lie in the way of ascer
tanning, by actual experiment, what
the frictional resistance of an engine is,
are very great, and to this cause, says
the London Engineer, is to be attributed
the greater portion of the existing
ignorance of the subject. The obstacles
in the way, as cited by this journal, are
of two kinds-it being in the first place,
very difficult to put a dynamometer
or brake on large engines whereby TO
ascertain their duty and, in the second
place, the amount of friction varies not
only in different engines, but in the
same engines, in very extraordinary
way, AS regards the first named, it is
practicable in the case of pumping
engines to ascertain precisely how many
foot pounds of work an engine actually
gives out in the shape of useful effect,
while the indicator shows the work
done in the piston; but from these data
engine friction cannot be calculated
exactly, as such calculations are CON-
plicated by the greater or less efficiency
of the pumps. 1t is possible that nothing
can be more deceptive than the results
obtained from pumping engines, and
they are therefore rejected by engineers
in deciding questions of engine friction
Practically, therefore, the test mos'
generally available is the indicator,
used when the engine is light and wheI
it is loaded; but diagrams taken thus dc
not account for the extra friction due
TO the performance of work, no investi

Winter Flowers in France.

The business of raising roses in WIN
ter is carried Oh sometimes by selling
them in pots and sometimes as cut flow
erS- In the former case the pOtted
plants are kept in beds in the garden,
and then at the right time they are
placed in ot-bed frames. When the
buds begin to open the boxes are sur
rounded with fermenting compost, that
: stirred up once fortnight. Precise
ly forty days are necessary before the
buds become sufficiently full for mark
ct. The trees which furnish the roses
To be cut are planted in rich earth and
in greenhouses. They are kept close
To the glass and heated with hot water.
Light and ventilation are no less indis-
pensable than heat for both the perfec-
tiOn of their forms and the brilliancy of
their colors. These roses are chosen
from the most varied kinds. They are
the Rose du Roi, with flowers of bright
red; the Queen of the Isles. of a carna-
ton color; Jules Margotin, of a bright
cherry color; Madam Boil, brilliant
pink, and a certain number of tea roses.
They flourish throughout the entire
winter, and the flowers are cut almost
daily.
The lily of the valley in full flower is
German importation, which for the
last ten years has been acclimated at
Paris. There is no more graceful Orna-
ment for parlor than this cluster of
satin-like leaves, from which emerge
hundreds of little rose-colored stalks,
with their punches of little bells of so
pure a white and so beautiful perfume
The principal place for the production
of these lilies is near Beaumont-sur-Ois
in the greenhouses of Pcrsau, an estab-
lishment recently founded, but which
can compare with the great nursuries
for the cultivation of ornamental shrubs
and flowers, of which Holland had a
specially up to the present. The for
cling of lilies of the valley is carried on
there upon vast scale. Strange to say
Nice the garden of flowers. monopolizes
almost as many lilies of the valley as
Paris. Ii is true that they come from
the South in pots, but they return there
again, after long voyage, in the form
of bouquets encased in violets.
