At the meeting of the chamber of commerce
yesterday, the following letter was read:
PITTSBURGH, Dec. Q, 1878.
President of Chamber of Commerce, ST.
Paul. MINI.
DEAR SIR: The committee rivers and
harbors to whom was referred the invitation OF
your chamber to appoint delegates to attend
the commercial convention to be held In your
city Dec. 18, this day offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted:
Our city is vitality interested in the practical
improvement of the entire system OF lake and
river nsportation-situated at the head Of q
widely extended system Of rivers and lakes,
the most of which may, by moderate expen-
diture of means, on the part of the general
government, be made accessible to steamers
leaving our port. The products of Pittsburgh
mines and manufactures are of such heavy
character to render exclusive railroad ship
ment impracticable, in view of the sharp COM
petition of other communities.
We find no fault with and make no complaint
against railroads They are no doubt doing the
best they can. But the futufe of our city de-
1nands the larger and cheaper facilities of water
transportation. It is therefore important that
the navigable condition of these water
ways be extended by artificial help, tc
every possible section of our country.
Hence we regard it as a matter of great self
interest to join hands and cooperate with all
parties interested in the improvement and ex.
tension of our inland navigation. Every add
tional mile of river made navigable every lake
connected with our river lines of trade opens
new markets to our merchants and new ports tc
our steamers; therefore,
Resolved, That this chamber is in hearty sym.
pathy with and fully approves the objects in,
tended to be advanced by the proposed conven.
ton to be held in St. Paul, Mimi, as stated il

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is good
article OF Soap but to procure 1t IL not always an
easy matter Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market made from coarse and deleteriOus
materials and their delicate colorIng and fragrant
purites. 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 if applied to the head inuring 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
pers engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be 1ol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring a perfectly pure arti-
Gle OF toilet soap Is at last oovlated, howeyeh
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
B. T. Rabbit, of New York, the world-renowncd
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of MIR. Rabbits 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 perfecting the
composition of the fiji est toilet soap ever intro
0uced. 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.
a B. T. BabbitJ's 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 unequaled in it,
emoliient properties. This Soap il not perfumed
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity tC
require aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers thu
| absence of artificial perfume the perfection O
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of B.
Babbtt's Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
and agreeable article Of the kind ever manufac
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladie
and children, this Soap equally appropriate fo
gentlemen's toilet and it makes a heavy lathe
It is also one of the finest soaps for barber's use

The question of responsibility for loss
in case of riot is one of peculiar interest,
in view of the occurrences of last sum
mer. If the rulings and verdict in a re-
cent test case is sustained, the county
in which the riot occurs and the damage
is done will be held liable. Suit was
brought against the county of Ale
ghany, Pa, to recover the value of q
consignment of whiskey that was de-
Stroyed in the Pittsburg riots while en-
route from Cincinnati to Philadelphia,
and was one of ten cases against the
county for which change of venue was
obtained to Beaver county. The de-
fence was that the act making county
liable was intended to apply TO citizens
of that county only; that the disturbance
was more than mob, was an insnrrec-
ton; and that il the officers of the rail
road company were not at fault in hav-
ing the property in Pittsburgh, the own
ers could net recover. The Judge ruled
out testimony to prove these points, and
the verdict was for the full amount de-
handed by the plaintiffs.

No one can come between us and
George Brown, of Knoxville. He has
been our earliest and most steadfast
friend. His hand patted as ON the head
in boyhood. and his advice strengthened
and encouraged us for the severer aspir-
atoms of manhood. We have made
failures George Brown never has-and
we don't want him to inaugurate such an
event at this late day. Just as We had
thought We had been humbly instru-
mental in harmonizing for all time the
conflicting elements in the First Judicial
Circuit. here comes the Chronicle with
George Browns announcement for Cir
cult Judge against Jim King And that
is why we sorrow. George Brown has
bad advisers. George Brown, uninflu-
enced, would never have stepped in front
of posterity at such crisis as this
George Brown is as full of magnanimity
and honor as a cocoanut of milk, and
George Brown win one day thank us for
repudiating and condemning this strange
and unnatural freak of his friends, that
gives us pain and does himself injustice.

THE GREAT CRIME.


The Potter Investigating Committee
'have-begun the taking of testimony in
relation to the fraudulent returns from
the Parish of East Feliciana, Louisiana.
James Z. Anderson, Ex-Supervisor of
Registration in that parish, was put up
on the stand sand subjected to a long
and searching examination. He told
marvelously straight and connected
story, and one which appears to carry
with it conviction of its truth. The
purport of it is that he was prosecuted
for refusing to carry out the plans of
his superiOrs; that, under protest, and
influenced by promises of reward, he
signed in blank protest against the
validity of the returns from his parish,
that his document was afterward doe
tored by parties unknown to him, and
put in much more sweeping terms than
he had employed; that in point of fact
no more peaceful and honest election
was ever held in the country than that
in his parish in 1876; that in an interview
with John Sherman he was promised re-
ward if he would remain faithful in the
crisis, aud that remaining faithful meant
participation in the fraud which was be-
ing practiced. The original letter from
Sherman he could not produce, but the
following he identified as copy:
"NEw ORLEANS, Nov. 90, 1875.

ance with Governor Hayes, I am justi-

GATHER Ann DRY


The demand for dried fruits we are
reminded by an exchange, has been so
much stimulated of late years by the
improved methods of drying, that these
products have assumed q position of
great importance in the commercial
world. Their healthfulness and appe-
thing influences have become almost a
necessity to the table of the world, and
they are now being transported in large
quantities to nearly every part Of the
globe The merits of dried fruits are
especially appreciated in those countries
where no fruits are raised, more particu-
larly newly settled colonies and mining
districts. They form one of the princi-
pal artic les of diet on long sea voyages.
Statistics show that Australia, Germany
and England are the principal consum-
ers of these productions; in fact, Eng
land alone, according to an exchange,
took nearly half million bushels, prin-
cipally apples and peaches, within the
last six months. In view of this increas-
ing demand, and the many simple and
cheap processes for drying, it seems al
most criminal that so much of the fruit
crop should be allowed to go to waste.
Millions Of dollars drop from the trees
every year, and mould in the muck for
lack of thrifty hand to reap when the
harvest comes. Tax money, pin money,
big money may be laid by with three
hours work each day in the orchard.
A whole family of boys and girls may
be educated from the products of fifty
trees properly handled. Almost every
farmer has few trees, and room for
hundreds more on the farm and in his
pockets. Take care of what you have.
Let ''gather and dry" be one Of your
maxims well lived up to.

A dispatch of the 4th 20 :he Atlanta
Constitution says man named Caldwell,
living near Americas, Ga, killed his
wife, three children and his wife's sis
ter with smoothing iron. Two chill
dren were at school, one in the field,
and one little one ran under the house
and escaped. The murderer then jump
ed into a well, but failing to materially
injure himself, he crawled out, and go
ing to the top of his dwelling house he
jumped off. He was picked up insensi-
Bile by negroes, who had been attracted
by his cries and gesticulations while on
3he house top. Recovering in a short
time, Caldwell sent the negroes for some
neighbors, then going to the Clubhouse
he climbed to the top and threw himself
headlong te the ground, instantly kill
ing himself.

From Hong Kong, China. comes news
of terrible tornado, which visited Can
ton and its suburbs on the 18th of April.
The storm leyelled all the houses in its
course, making a clean sweep of every
thing for width of about six hundred
feet. The violence of the wind was as
great as that of a typhoon. Granite
blocks were lifted from their places and
hurled great distance, and boats were
carried far in shore. Nine thousand
houses are known to have been destroy
ed, and the loss of life is estimated at
from five to ten thousand. Inan eating
house, containing fifty-two employees
and about one hundred persons taking
refreshments. not one escaped. About
one thousand persons persisted in the
water. The Chinese authorities acted
with promptitude in clearing away the
ruins and burying the dead, but the Wis
itatiOn so awful in Itself, will probably
be followed by pestilepee.
