OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-
~ al Of the United Statcs.--The undersigned


having just published an octave edition of the
official decisions Of the Attorneys General of the
United States, expounding the Constitution, sub
sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In
dian tribes, and giving construction to the public
laws Of the country, in five volumes, averaging
75O pages each comprising all the decisions OF
that character made since the adoption Of the
federal constitution, and prior to the 4th day OF
July, 1851, and to be continued up TO the present
time with synoptical notes and copious indices,
he respectfully announces his readiness TO answer
orders for the work. and to forward the same by
express or otherwise, to any part of the United
States,
Being the productions Of distinguished jurists
and civilians, fully authorized TO decide the varl-
Gus questions of civil, common, international,
constitutional, commercial and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course of the admins
traton of the government, and bearing, as they
do upon nearly every subject OF civil polty and
jurisdiction, it necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance to the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles of the federal gov
ernment and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
compensation Of its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality.
extradtion &C., are therein thoroughly discussed,
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &c. commented upon and ex-
planned. It is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consuls, governors of States, district
attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs, sur
veyors of ports, naval officers receivers of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents,
officers Of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes valuable ac-
QUESTION to their Libraries.
The editions put up in the style of Howard's
Reports Of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume.
Librarians of States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
work, through their representatives in Congress,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject.

Teeth and Eyebrows.-Ee have seen a
private letter from Yedo, japan, in which the
writer says: All the married women shave their
eyebrows, which gives the nee singular, un-
certain appearance, as if thSre was nothing to
distinguish the top from the bottom, and blacken
their teeth. This custom has the effect Of making
them look most hideous add unpleasant when
they are most pleased, for u look at them, when
laughing, you seem 10 be boxing INTO coal
scuttle % In this country, the custom with some
ladies is 10 pencil the eyebrsws to make them ap
pear darker and heavier thai nature intended, and
white teeth are justly co1sidered Indispensable
requisites to beauty. Instesd of looking into such
" coal scuttle," we of tbs new world prefer to
admire the dental ivories3 surrounded by frame
