The Early Use of SOaD,

The remains of a well-organized soap
factory have been found in the ruins OF
Pompeii. Tyler says the first express
mention of it occurs in Pliny and Galen;
and the former declares it to be an IN
vention of the Gauls, though he prefers
the Germ;V, to the Gallo soap In
remote periods clothes were cleansed
by being rubbed or stamped upon IN
water. Nausicaa and her attendants,
Homer tells us, washed theirs by tread
ing upon them with their feet in pits OF
water.-Odyssey, book vi. TIE manu-
facture of soap began in London in 1874,
before which time it was supplied by
Bristol at one penny per pound

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 30.-Though i'll in
bed with something resembling the grip,
Gov. Northen found strength enough to
dispose of the remaining bills awaiting his
signature to-day, and at the same time to
hatten out couple of i'll considered meas
ures proposed by the legislature. The
chief of these was that remarkable joint
resolution passed unanimously by both
houses, calling ON the President of the
United States to turn loose all violarors of
the internal revenue laws now serving SEN
fences in Georgia jails. II decline to ap-
prove this resolution because l have not the
Information on which to base an intelligent
opinion in regard to its propriety," says the
governor.

Indeed, i know absolutely nothing Of the
grounds upon which the request for pardon
in these cases is founded. / cannot in
good consc ence ask the President to do
what | might not in like circumstances be
willing to do myself.
THE laws in regard to the collection of
internal revenue have cen on the federal
statute book a long time,n continues he.
III these laws are wise and just they should
be forced, and the surest way to do this is
to require payment Of the penalty attached
TO their violation. If the laws are unjust
or against public policy, tie strict enforce
ment of them is perhaps the readiest and
most certain means of securing their re-
peal. y. The second legislative enactment
on which the governor exercises the veto
power is the bill TO repeal the law changing
the time for cutting turpentine boxes. The
bill misquotes the dates in the amending
act which it seeks to repeal, and in con-
sequence OF this blunder is without

chief Two Strike, dashed suddenly upon the
train, captured il, and were making of
toward the Bad Lands when the cavalry
wheeled and gave pursuit. In the battle
which followed over thirty Indians were
wounded, but no soldiers were killed. Ac-
cording to the latest reports, Two Strikes
Indians had been considered peaceabie and
subdued but their sudden change of mind
causes the gravest fears here that, perhaps,
none of the so-called friendies can be re-
lied on However, word from Gen. Brooke
to the settlers to-day is somewhat reassur-
ing, il being to the effect that the great
body of the savageI here remained loyal all
the while, and that nearly all the rebels are
dead. He further says that the settlers
here are not now in danger.
COMING IN FROM THE BAD LANDS.
Reliable news is also at hand that Col.
Henry is now approac liDg the agency with
200 Indians captured in the Bad Lands.
This Is believed TO include ali the remnants
OF the rebels on the reservation, and hopes
are entertained of a speedy settlement. 1t
has cost the lives of about $50 Indians aud
about 25 or 80 soldiers killed and wounded
to effect this result, If, indesd, it may be
said that peace is yet established The
body of the gallant Capt. Wallace
and other dead soldiers arrived here
be shipped to Fort Robinson, the nearest
military post. Rushville is crowded with
settlers. The churches and all the public
rooms are thrown open and no effort is
being spared to make the refugees comfort
able. They are here on the advice of Gen.
Brooke. They are not only ready to defend
their homes, but many are anxious to enlist
with the regulars if further fighting should
occur"
The Bees special from Rose Bud agency,
