IL Saline county quite q question
has been raised among the voters con
eerning the eligibility Of Mrs Agnes
J. Carruthers 10 the office Of State
Superintendent, which she aspires
To al, aud for which she Is put ting
forth her most steHuOus eKertiOns to
obtain through the medium Of the
nomination by the Republican state
convention. Mrs. Carruthers IL =
lady Of ine abilities, and she has
during the past four ysaFs she has
heen county superintendent demon
trated her eapability for Official
duties In very many ways. She has
numerous warm admirers in all
parties, who would be greatly pleas
I'd 10 see her elevated to the high
and honorable position she seeks.
But from the outset Of her eaudi-
dacy she has been met with an OH
stacle unsurmountable in the shape
u an opinion from some Of the
ablest lawyers in the state that she
could not qualify II elected to the
place, and that an evil Of the gravest
consequence the contest Of her
rlection-would be the inevitable
result. In this paper is published
an opinion from the Attorney Geu-
eral uPOR this subject. aud In this
opinion we understand he Is eBdOrs-
ed by the ablsst attorneys Of Salina.
Putting il in the mildest form pos-
slble, there is a doubt about the
matter, and the party IL hardly
warranted in putting up a candidate
whose election will be accompanied
by contest for the seat. Again.
there seems to be no strong tide set
ting 10 for Mrs. Csrruthers' nOmina-
tiOn, while there Is n strong prOJa-
hiiity 0g Saiiue. county, securing a
representative on the state ticket in
person Of Harper :. Cunningham,
candidate for Attorney General. II
Is certainly not Justice to Mr.. CuR-
ningham, nor to the county to press
candidacy accompanied by two
doubts: One eligibility and the
other imprObability Of nomination.
since Mr.. Cunningham was first
spoken Of there has been q strong
probability 0f his nomination, which
has gathered force a. the days have
gone by. some Of the enemies Of
Mr.. Cunningham are advancing
Mrs. Carruthers solely for the puT-
pose Of depriving him Of the dele
gates of this county, presuming up
ON the guilibility Of Republicans
10 conceal their manOuvers. Saline
county should strain every effort to
secure a representative on the ticket.
aud in this effort the most available
candidate-and certainly the one
that can qualify after an election
should Ice agreed upon.

Coolie Women Plucising the Leaf-In ths

The five grades of Indian teas-broken
Orange Pekoe, broken Pekoe, Pekoe, Pekoe
Souchong and Souchong-are all procured
from the same plant. When shoot is
sucked from a tea plant it bears three or
four leaves and bud The smallest bud
and leaf on the stalk make the finest teas,
and the lower leaves on the stalk, when
sifted, make the coarser kinds of tea The
coolie women, who are constantly employed
from April to December plucking the leaf,
are mustered between ) and o'clock in the
morning, and then 30 out TO the portion of
the garden where the le..f is quite ready to
% piur:ked, which is, AS RUE, once every
eight days At II o'clock the women are
brought in to weigh their forenoon's leaf,
and get leave 20 have food and a rest I'LL 2.
m, when they so out again and come in for
the day at 6 p m. On an average day women
will pluck thirty to forty pounds, which they
carry in baskets on their backs, with a strap
on the head, which leaves them both hands
free to pluck the leaf from the plants, which
after three or four years grow to be large
bushes
The leaf. when brought in and weighed, is
carried up into the lofts by the women TO the
factory men, who are told off to spread it on
whitening traps or "chulnies,n which are
placed in tiers all along the length of the
whitening house, which allows of the leaf
getting the quantity of air required to wither
it properly for manufacture next morning
As rule, when the weather is favorable for
whitening, tea manufacture begins at ) a. m
The leaf is put into rolling machines, which
are made with such perfection that the mo-
ton of the hand roliing-used in all tea gar
dens before machinery was adopted-is now
obtained by the use of cranks aud cog wheels
The leaf is given light or heavy pressure,
according to the state it is in during the time
it is in the rolling machine. 1t is then taken
out and spread on fermenting tables to get
the necessary fermentation, which gives the
tea the red cOppery color infused tea leaves
have.
After getting the proper fermentation, the
leaf gets second roll of short duration to fix
the color of the fermentation. The second
roll being finished, the rolled leaf is taken to
the drying machines to be dried. The most
skilled factory hands work these machines
and they give the leaf the proper amount

whole tea has been put through a tea
breaker, it Is then passed through Sitting

with the varied sizes of wire meshes attached
to it, worked at slight angle, so that tbs
tea as it revolves falls through the differen
meshes, under each of which are sheets which
convey the tea into boxes, each grade of tie:
being kept separate. The tea is now ready
for a final drying before packing.-Cor

The headquarters now became the scene OF
much hustle, dispatches announcing the vic
tory being sent in all directions The first
one transmitted was to the queen, the king
directing Count Bismarck to prepare it for
his signature; then followed others Of more
official character, and while these matters
were being attended to l thought would
ride into the village to find, if possible, some
water for my horse Just as entered the
chief street, however, was suddenly halted
by squad of soldiers, who, taking me for a
French officer Tiny coat and forage cap re-
sembling those Of the French, leveled their
pieces at me. They were greatly excited, so
much so indeed that thought my hour had
come, for they could not understand Eng
lish, and l could not speak German, and
dared not utter explanations in French. For
tunately q few disconnected German words
came TO me i'll the emergency. With these l
managed to delay my execution, and one of
the party ventured to come up to examine
the suspect more closely. The first thing
he did was to take off my cap, and looking it
over carefully his eyes rested on the three
stars above the visor, and pointing to them
he emphatically pronounced me French.
Then, of course, they all became excited
again, more so than before even, for they
thought l was trying to practice q ruse,
and question whether should have lived to
recount the adventure had not an officer be-
longing to the kings headquarters been pass
ing by just then. when, hearing the threat
enings and Impressions, he rode up to learn
the cause of the hubbub and Immediately
recognized and released me. When he told
my wrathy captors who l was, they were
much mortified, of course, and made the
most profuse apologies, promising that nc
such mistake should occur again, and so on
but not feeling wholly treasured, for my uni
form was still liable to mislead, was careful
to return to headquarters in company witt
