Reporter and Piitl. *rAflß F9« THI PI OP L E >}>'r )W*->rfee i l first jita'W. Wiil.M 11l I , Wtr*' iUV, t)EOeMU£P Itl IcHI. thibpapbe BOAJ* AJiP IV^TKH. jSome m&lii #ince we clipped a lead ing edito;i»l from the Wilmington Star under Uie beading "Cleanliness next to Godliness;" with the iutet; tion of extract ing therefrom and commenting, thereon wbtcfa we have deferred doing till the present. The editorial comment* quite fclioiuiualy upon an article that bad ap in tlje Augusta C/iro licit, prompted by Dr. Atchison's lecture at Vanderbi't Univej-aily. It says : >Lt is claimed that Mr. Wesley js not the author of the saying' given above. Very woli, it will do for a text all the fnm« Cleanliness is absolutely essential to health. This being an es tablished fact, the use of soap is a pos itive essential. The Augusta Chronicle is responsible for Uie statement that the Bulgarians ar« never bathed but twice r-ft fcjftb and death. Too wa fer, however, is not healthful, l'uu cad over-do the bathing business. Some people have a wauia Cur dabbling in water." Cleanlu>e#| is an indispensable requis te to the beauty of the copi r lexion, though it does not have wach to with the health of the skin. As to tbe ex cessive, or frequent washing of tbe bands, lace, or body, Dr. Auspiti, of Vi enna, in his work on diseases of tbe skin, makes the following observation pbioh we give in English ; "WatjCr is serviceable to the skin in pnly moderate awountj and »t moder tcmperatures. JJV'cry cold pr warm baths, when used to excess, diminish tbe elasticity of tbe skin and its power pf resistance to external irritants, v Distilled and so-called soft water are mors witsblc for washing, and less ir ritating than bard water." We .extract again from tbe Star f'But if bathing is essential to cleanli ness and cleanliness is essential to health, surely soap is essential to clean liness. This being so, it is very impor tant that tbe right kind of soap stnuld be used. The subjeet is important and fB worthy of an expert. So we fall back po an authority. Dr. Atchison, like piany other jnen of science, is no great Iplieyer in the highly perfumed soaps £bat are so much sought after. He says: fManufacturer* to-day conrert so many articles into soap tbat were never to bo agents in cleansing the body, and cover tbe diseased germ in the soap with perfnme, that I am strong in the belief that many of our skin dis eases have tbeir origin from (his source. J would advise yon to use the castile soap, as I believe it to be tbe purest, and shun by all means all perfumed soaps. Again, we find offerod for sale numerous so-called medicated soaps— carbolio soap, tar soap, Ao. It is im possible to get a sufficient amount of' tbe active principles of these agents in tbe soap to b« of iny benefit so they are, I think, worse than useless.' " T'lilet A pap is a chemical compound of vegetable or fatty substances with soda or potash, used, on account of its properties of loosening and dissolving greasy matters, as a cleansing article for the toilet. It is not uncommon for manufacturera of toilet soap to recom pwad their ware for rendering the hands fair white, and for imparting a bright dear complexion, conditions which we should be loth to ascribe solely to the nae of any soap. Tbo presence of per fumes In soap is not of itself objcctioua- Itia, were it pot that they are often in troduced to disguise the odor Q( the ebemieals. It would be abaurd to say tbat a soap made from the best of ma terials is injarias to tbe skin should it contain an innocuous perfume. Indeed 0 pleasant odoriferous soap is made from HfM nil of aweet almonds which serves both as • saponifying substance and perfume. The bard soda soaps are pref erable to tbe aoft potash soap for toilet oae. Caatile soap, recommended by Dr. Atobinsoo above, is made of olive oil and soda. It ia prepared both white *nd oolored {mottled). Tbo brownish lolor wbtoh consists of oxyd of iron i# rubbed with tbe soap, and a small por tion taken up with a palate koife is pushed into tbe melted mass and worked about. Lard soaps are very white, sol id and hard and are among tbo most ea-1 teemed of ttilct loaps. The color of »o*pS 18 produced by mixing uiiucral *a Vormillion (pink), altrainarioc (blue), ochre (browa), cto Good soaps must Dot contain free alkali any foreign irritating substance. §ueh simple pow-; ders as ground «Urch, magncin, etc. arc | harmless, and uiay bo tjped as a protee- ! tion against external irritant* Excess ive application of oologue, or any toil et washes made of alcohol, abstracts the ■poislirc troiu the skin and rendtr- it dry and brittle and impairs its nutrition. The same rciuark applies to tbo too fre quent application of glyceriuo. Cam phor in the form of what is called "cam phor ito" is a good bleacher The Slur quotes the Chronicle saying that aj departed physician of cuiiucuce 111 Au- I gusta "was of opiniou that the Romans ! and 1 reeks were sensible when thoy , oiled the body after it had betu subjeet- I ed to bathing and soaping. He fa.J not believo in the too frequent use of soap »!ija the bath unless there wa* an unction 1 used upon the body to replace snuiewbat the oils abstracted from the skin." No doubt csscnsial oils and sweet smelling . fats hbould be used to greater extent • than is now dono for toilet purposes. , THE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE. The detention of the mails between 'here and Winston fjjr several days (mat week on account gf snow disappointed us in receiving the President's message to Congress till oijr last issue was made up. The message is quite lengthy and would coyer between six aud seven col un.s of this paper. Refertin» to our friendly relations with all other powers, "and of neignborly interest toward those whose possessions are contiguous to our own," he passes on to allude to (he set tlement of the claims of citixcns of the United States against Chili ; for injur ies during the late man with i'eru and Bolivia, for which as yet there is DO provision the cruel treatment of Chin ese in some of tbe far Wostein States and territories ; the sympathy between '.he people of the I'nited States and France, as evidenced by the gift > f Frenchmen to American* of liur'holdi's statue of "Liberty Enlightening the World ; tlje settlement of the fishery rights in tbe waters of liritiah North America ; our relations with the Sand witch Islands; a revision of our trea ties with Japan ; the suggestion that a 1 smalj Naval vessel be presented to Li ' beria, to be employed by it in the pro- tection of coastwise revenycg; oijr rela tions with Mexico; and the Cutting af fair, are arnoDg the topics to which it. lention is directed in the message. That subject of most vital importance, tariff reform, comes in for a lengthy consider ation. We havo only room for fol lowing extract. "but oar farmer* and agriculturalists, those who produce the things consumed by all, arc perhaps more directly and plainly concerned than any otbor of our citizens ia a just and careful system of Federal taxation. Those actually en gaged in *nd more remotely connects) with this kind of work number nearly ] one-half of our population. None labor j harder or mora continuously than tbey. No enactmenta limit their hours of toil and no interposition of the government enhances to any great extent the value I of tbeir products. And yet, for many of the necessaries and comforts ot fife j which the most scrupulous economy j enables them to bring into their homes, and for tbeir implements of husbandry, they arc obliged to pay a price largely j increased by an unnatural profit, which through the action of the government is given to tl.c more favored manufactur ers. 1 ;ecoij)mend that, keeping in view all these consideration*, the increasing and unnecessary surplus of the national income annually accumulated be releas ed to the peoplu by an amendment tu our revenue laws which shall cheapen tbe pricf of the necessaries of life, and give freer uitrance to such imported ma terials as by American labor may be manufactured iuio marketable commodi ties. Nothing can be accoiiiphxlied, however, in the direction of this uiucb needed rcfi.rui unless the subject be approached in a patiioue spirit of devo tion to the interests of the entire country and with a willingness to yield something for the public good. The space which are can as ign U> our brief of jiifssage doet ant allow us to more than name tbe conoluding heads of tbis document which relate tQ the Departments of War, the Navy, tha lu t;rior. Agriculture the subject «f Givil Service, etc. A great many men came to the eon elusion that if U>ey were too old at forty five )'«an to hold an office under a Democratic administtation, they were too old to vote; and many mote conr oludcd that if they voted thuy would be considered oifeosivo partiaiana, and that right would be taken away as soon as the (act eould be reported to G rover Cleveland, therefore they declined to vote any more until hia term expire#. Another class came to the conclusion that the Democratic party had no use for tbem except on election day, so tbey bad busiues elsewhere on that day. An other class wunted to see if the Demo cratic party and Cleveland eou'd get along as well without their votes as vitfa tb§m.--ScolliiTpl jYeck Democrat. BTATE NEWS.

Bccauso a man belongs to tho Democrat ic party, it will not shield him from! ccnsaie and condemnation at our bauds iftlicn lie bss outraged truth snd honor, and betrayed the implicit trust placed in him. A number of onr exchanges have published wild rumors concerning Hon. James W. #eid, the Congressman in tho Greensboro district. \N e have seen nothing but reports bas».d on ru mors. No facts »re given. The Chron icle has refrained from giving express ion to any opinion in regard U the mat ter, for the roason, it has had very li"le of toe true facts an opinion up on, and it does no"t desire to condemn a upon mere tumors without having | some substantial evidooce before us. ' Mr. Reid has not made an assignment. I Hi» property is heavily mortgaged, and I ! lii» creditors are pressing their claims. Of the extent of indebtedness we ifc j not prepared to speak. We can only hope that his affuirs are not as black as they are painted. The editor of the Slnfe Chronic It kas visited Reidsvtjlf, I attending the Methodist Conference, ; and he gives a very graphic and damag -1 ing account of Mr. Reid's transactions. If bis account fives the truth of tlie matter, and we kave no reason to disbe lieve that be bfJ made a careful in vestigation of tba affair, it is certainly to be regretted. Unle«a Mr. Reid ex plains away (to pharges against him, he has forfeited the high trust committed to him and has brought upon bis own bead the censure and condemnation of all true Democrats aud honest people. We await further developuiouts. and in the meantime trust bis affairs ma> be amicably adjusted. — Charlotte Chroni cle. i lor Hale.
