We have received a sample tablet of Dr. Mackenzie’s Arsenical Toilet Soap, manufactured by T. Harvey, whtch proves to be a very nice thing of its kind. Despite the somewhat formidable suggestion in the word ‘ arsenical,’ the soap is guaranteed perfectly harmless. It makes a delightfully soft lather, and has a very pleasant fragrance, and in every respect should prove a desirable adjunct to the toilet. Verdi has lately asked permission to erect two tombs in the garden of bis Villa of St. Agatha, one for himself and one for his wife. It was after a visit to the authorities of Piacenza, for which he bad to rise at 4.30 in the morning, that he said, in evening : * Per Bacco 1 I feel a little tired. Ha ! I’m beginning to get old.* He is 83 years of age.
