Lawrence, Kan, June Sd, 1881.
HON. w. A. JOHNSTON, Attorney Gener-
al, Kansas DEAR SIR: Will You please
give me your opinion as to whether ''Lei's
Dandelion Tonic" is embraced within the
meaning of Section 10 of the liquor law in
this State. Some difference of opinion ex.
lists here upon the matter and | should like
to have your opinion concerning it.
Respectfully yours,
ALBERT KNITTLE,
County Attorney, Douglas Co., Kan.
In reply to this Communication Mr.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 4th, 1881.
ALBERT KNITTLE, Esq, County Attor-
rey, Douglas County, KansaS.-DEAR SIR
In response to yours of the 3rd inst,
have to say, that from your description of
the component elements and properties of
"Leis' DandeliOn TOnic,;' l am of opinion
that it does not come within the purpose or
spirit of the prOhibitOry liquor law no more
than lemon or other flavOring extracts,
which are not and cannot be used as an
Intoxicating beverage. In short, indorse
the views expressed by you in the within
opinion. Very respectfully,
w. A. JOHNSTON.
Believing that we have adduced suffi-
eient evidence to satisfy the most timid
that "Leis' dandeliOn Tonic" can be sold
without infraction of the temperance law,
we will add that it is our purpose to adj,
vertiSe this excellent medicine most thor
oughly in this and other States and thus
TO beget for it sale commensurate with
its merits.
We give prompt and careful attention
to all orders, large or small.
Very respectfully yours,

and consequences of his crime, but it
appears from the trial to-day, as it has
before, that he studiously endeavored
to keep from the public the real mo-
tives by which he was controlled. He
blasphemes about his partnership with
the Deity, and the audience laugh at
him, but he is very anxious that the
extracts from the newspapers attack
ing President Garfield on account of
the Conkling- Robertson incident shall
be presented to the jury. He planned his
defence at the time he was practicing
with his bull dog at the foot of Seven
tenth street, with the marsh reeds for
a mark. He has been careful to col
lect the most venOmous of the attacks
upon Garfield. He arranged it so that
the extracts should be discovered as
soon as the murderous act was done.
He took them with him to the depot,
he addressed them to a source through
which he thought they could obtain
publicity, and left them In the custody
of the newsdealer at the station, who
he knew would Immediately surrender
them 10 the authorities, and he clamors
for them now. To-day he said: 81 may

THE examination by New York experts
Of the tea raised in Georgia under the d.
rection of the Commissioner Of AgriCul'
ture Le Due did not result hatteringly for
the prospects OF American tea raising.
The questions to be decided by the ex'
perts related to the comparative value Of
teas grown in the shade or in the sun and
the comparative value Of the American
teas with similar imported teas. An hour
was given to testing, after which ConClu'
sions were stated, There was general
agreement with the views expressed by
r. G. Carey, who said that las COM
pared with imported teas OF the
same kind Commissioner lie Dues sam.

character OF the ground or the curing We
cannot tell. For his experiments to have
any practical importance in this market
he would have to bring US japan teas such
as we sell here. Such tea al we have
tasted to-day would not fetch more than
twenty-five or thirty cents in the market
One Of the samples could not be sold atallr
but that, believe, was spoiled. The teas
grown in the sun are better than those
grown under the shade Of mats or arbors.
Commissioner lie Due does not abate hif
confidence, however. lie Gays the teas
tested were prepared differently from the
Japan samples, and were calculated rather
To be judged on their merits than by q

and try again. To the objection that the
import duties saved would be more
than eaten up by the higher price OF labor
here than in Japan and China, Mr.. Ii

A tcw years ago the late s. II. Wood.

Of this paper went with him on one Of bic
early trips, just alter he had made his first

Al that time the site Of the present town
of Birmingham, In Jefferson county, was

OF Tennessee, tho most extensive iron

Col. Thomas Peters, pioneer In the Ala.

lands at the proposed railroad crossing.

i've value. This was especially true OF what
ia known as Red Mountain ore lands. At
that time very little was known about the
coal in Jones Valley or along the Warrior
river, asst was comparatively undeveloped,
and It's properties unknown. The people
burned wood In parlot aud kitchen. The
country WAS poor and sparsely settled,
and the natives lived in the Ihtittless way
characteristic OF the South in those days.
A great change has been wrought since
1869. Gradually the resources Of Jones

England. One Of the great iron authoh.

One of his recent purchases for S2O,OOO

So well convinced had Mr.. Woodward
become as to the future Of this region that
during his late visit he had about matured
his plans for developing his holdings IN
the way Of building one or more blast
furnaces. He had fully satisfied himself
that iron could be made for S. per ton
down there, and marketed in the Ohio
river valley at profit of two to four
dollars as against home competition.
This reference to the Alabama iron re-
plon has been called out by the following
paragraph in one Of our exchanges In re-
gard to Birmingham:

terprises in the iron business, and The
