soii'uue UT i's isolhtlon from the refin- ing influences Of civilization. A slight ray of knowledge Of the somewhere of A place called Arizona, has reached old Kentucky. and touched a sympathe,,c chord in its hospitable heart. The sn,. ferings ot the well-sh6ken people of Charleston were promptly sssuaged b, the generous offerings Of & charitable public, and the grief of the deluge-sur. vivors of Sabine Pass has been made lighter through the helping hand of practical Samsritsns, and this grand spirit of charity is rapidly becoming a characteristic distinction of our young republic. We bavs before us other evi-. dence of this widespread fraternity of oi the sors of freedom. sent to us out of the favored land of metaphoric-l milk and honey, where the dew upon the blue grass is nectar to the lips of th thirsty denizen of tue desert and com fort to the democratic simplicity of the unitarian world. Our apparent denial of the one essential of Kentucky exIs- tence has evidently excited the sympathy of those of its sons who have SC arched the maps of the universe for other heath en linjs, f. the elevation of whose us tives the spirit of its mission may minister, and the decree of fate has discovered unto them the long neglected terra incognits of Apache land, as prom isIng a favorable i Ia for missionary lsbors, particularly since life has been made somewhat safe within It's borders by the bsnishmsnt of Geronimo snd his disciples.
 Ous from their distilled milk of huma kindness there comes to us an epistle, bearing the following suggestive inter- rogstions, to sll of which we answer a firm but gentle affirmative, with a supplemental benediction of Joe Jeffer- ersonisn simplicity, "Msy they live long and prosper"
 Dear Sir:-I do not know what your position cn the whishy question IS, but l I formation relative to the sdvIsability O. running a wholesale whisky house iu | Tucson. for the purpose of handling Kentucky goods. Kindly answer these | few questions:
 Are rents high2
 Are the people. as 8 class. opposed to | the sale of liquo.?
 l. life and property secure?
 Any danger O; local opnon or prohibi- 1 tiou!
 Is this class of merchandise in de mand!
 Any money n the business! Answers to these questions. md such l other information as may be of interest, will be thankfully received. Respectfully,
 Richmond, Ky, Nov. 9, 1885. We know that another wholesale house of the kind Is Q long felt want in this sinful oity, as demonstrated by the recent election.
 Rents vary somewhat, but range gen erally from the crown of the he', through 8 series of true Assures that admit toying breezes to antique suitings, do Rn even to soles that are totally de- praved. Rents are more large than high.
 The people are opposed to liquor that is, 1t Is against every mans had aud every mans hand IS against il, with s determination to down it. When the stock runs low some of the veterans ID the cause even resort to pounded slAs- aud carpe. tacks to produce the enjoy s- ble sensation Rd interim.
 Life and property sre generally secur' rom everything but death and ta1a'lon'
 Iu regard to cal Opti Il. or prohloi- tiou. there is more hope than danger to be apprehended In the prevailing local option to acquire the merchandise a' somebody els-'s expense, there IS de cided spice of danger.
 There Is a strong demand for that class of merchsJdise, and the Onl! mouey in the bu-iness IS upon tht basis of '-cssh invariably RdvHnce. un' less A quiet combination can be effected with the cOrouer.
 For "other information" we refer. witi permIs-Ion, to notices of sheritf's sales canstable's sales. hospital statistics and mortuary reports.
 We now declare, Tn truth and sober mes th it AriEJua hss a climate that re- quires DO distilled stimulsnts; sun shine inst mountain dew can bot oo scure, and 6 people who "scratch gravel" for what there is m 1t and ar' content with the ten thousand priceless blessings that are the roses to the hen- tucky thorns. and sea serpents compared to its worm of the still.
 The Kentucky offer is, therefore de cIined, with many thanks, but II they have any mild Hsvsnas, we would h"
