very kindly to the teaching and assist

WASHING BABIES.-MOthersa and
nurses cannot be- too careful about the
soap they use on the little ones. Few
but ply siciaDs know how many of the
SO called skin diseases among children
are caused by the use of adulterated poi.
sonous soap. An analysis of several
cakes of the pretty aud perfumed toilet
soaps that are sold on the streets show
ed the presence of ground glass, soluble
glass, slick, pipeclay, rotten stone, bo-
rax, plaster of Paris, tin crystal, mag
nesia, pumice stone, oatmeal and other
substances, which are added to give the
soap weight, hardness, toughness or
clearness. The common colorings are
vermillion. Venitian red and carmine,
uItramine green, pot pigment green,
copperas, Spanish brown, ultramine
blues, yellow and scarlet analines and
burnt lumber Many of the pertaining
ingredients, though harmless ia them
selves, become chemically poisonous by
admixture. Adding the dangers from
all these to the rancid, diseased, putrid
qualities of grease used, and mothers
may well be appalled, at the permanent
evils. these neat-looking, delicately-
scented blocks of toilet soap contain,
ready to be released whenever moisten-
ed and applied to the baby's body.-N.

NEGRO RIOT IN MISsISSIPPI.-MERI
DIAN, Miss. Nov. 8.-FOur white men
killed and two severely wounded by
negroes to-day, at Merton station, in
this county. The negroes opened fire
on the whites at the polls, while the
election was going on. The whites had
no arms to defend themselves with, and
consequently none of the negroes suf-
fered. One of the men killed was A.
T. Harvey, Democratic candidate for
county assessor. The sheriff, with a
posse from tbs place, found hundred
negroes baTricaded in the dwelling house
OF their leader, Ed Vance, aud the
posse was fired upon by the negroes as
they approached the house Another
body of armed men have gone from
here to the scene of the distur baAce to
assist the sheriff With this exception
the election in this county has been
quiet and orderly.

Rev. c. 8. NJ. See, whose connection with the
church at Monterey was recently dissolved at
his request and against the earnest wishes OF
his congregation, preached his farewell sermon
there last Sunday week. The Highland Re
corder says "A large congregation assembled
in the Presbyterian church to hear the fare
well words of Rev. G. 8. M. See, whom they
had listened to with interest often, but never
so atten lively as upon this occasion. He had
gone in and out among us for dozen years,
with faithful discharge of duty. and now he
was going out for the last time. No wonder
there were SO many sad hearts and faces there;
no wonder the big round tears rushed sponta-
neously down the cheek of many in that vast
audience, who seldom. if ever, shed tears be-
fore. But with that sublime force of applica-
ton which has always characterized the speak
er, still enjeining duty and the avoidance OF
the dedication of man, he concluded his pow
erful and eloquent sermon, from II John, c. Is,
v8-7. by saying: L do not ask you for your af
fections; know you already love me more
than deserve; give me your prayers"

from our correspondent "Laurence."]
Our town has been quite dull since the cleo
ton, except with our merchants who seem to
be doing a thriving business. On election day
one OF our prominent Readjusters was talking
q great DEAL and wanting to bet one hundred
dollars that the Cameron ticket would get one
hundred votes at this place. The offer was inn
mediately taken by young Funder of our
town. Then the Readjuster raised the bet to
three hundred dollars. The Funder immedi-
ateIy pulled out the greenbacks. and the Read
juster failed to come to time amid the shouts
of the crowd. The Readjuster had little to say
the rest of the evening.
Hon. John F. Lewis passed through town en-
route for Richmond yesterday.
Mr.. - Martin, OF Nelson county, an en-
ployee of the Crimora Mining Company, about
six miles north OF this place, fell down the
shaft at that place last week, a distance of 1875
feet and, strange to say. was not killed. Drs.
Myers and Fox were called in, and did what
they could to relieve the sufferer, who escaped
with only his jaw-bone being broken.

THE RIDDLEBERGER BILL In
speaking of the Riddleberger Bill, the
Richmond Whig the organ of Malone
and his party, says
ut is very true that we had differ
ences as to the amount of the debt and
the manner of settiing it; but these were
fully discussed in Readjuster caucus in
1879 80 and the Riddleberger Bill was
adopted as a compromise. 1t has now
been ratified by the people, and every
Readjuster elected to the Assembly is
pledged to 1t. We assure our contem-
porary that the bill will become law !:
and if the creditors refuse to accede to
it, they will get nothing! Mark our
words.

NONSIDER WELL-THEN-ACT.-
~ advice Is good in every instance, bat par
ticularly in that of seeking antidotes for dis
eases and relief from pain. Hundreds of cures
are continually offered to the public and de-
clared to be infallible, backed up by certificates
of unknown persons, some of whom occasion
ally stick an NJ. D. to their names asa bait to de-
ceive the uniformed, and by such means large
quantities OF nGstrumS are swallowed with
the greatest faith in their Invaluable qualities,
when, if the truth We're known, they possess no
other virtue than that of creating nausea, de-
stroying The coating of the stomach, and lay
ing the foundation Tor an incurable disease
This is not the case with BAKERS PREM u NJ
BITTERS. No certificates save those of well
known, respectable citizens of this State have
been published; and the Proprietor has never
and will never recommend them for the use of
any other disc ses save those arising from i'm
proper digestion, impure blood and foul stom-
ach-such as Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Ague and
Fever, Cholera Morbus. Colic, &c. For these

fies the world to produce their superior in erad-
icating either of these diseases from the hui

best medicine the world ever saw. We had
tried forty other remedies before the Simmons

more than temporary relief, but the Regulator
not only relieved but it cured us.
