occasionel by the last number of the CLAIR
ION Mai. Wall, in writing up Mississippi,
is doing 4 well, and, if immigrants do not
come TO Mississippi on his representations,
f they will not come at all. A gentleman,
reading the CLARION, said: Mississippi
is doing the very thing she ought not to do.
The immigration she seeks will not bring
peace and good fellowship. She seeks i'm
migration from the Northwest. The people
of that section are not the people of Mis-
sssippi. Those who come will bring their
traditions and their memories. These will
not be IN harmony with the traditions and
memories OF Mississippi. Let twenty fam
lilies from Indiana settle anywhere in Mis-
sissippi where there are twenty Mississippi
families, and all send to the same school.
The children will fight before "A week and
the school cannot last. These children rep
resent their parents, and catch their insPir-
ations from their parents, but do not have
same the same discretion. When the child
rem fall out the parents will fall out, and no
one will be more anxious TO emigrate than
the average Mississippi are in such a situa-
| ton"
was ready to believe the falling ont part
of the talk, for l recollect that Mr.. Jones
says that TWO men of good sense may have
| two dogs and agree for them to fight but
that the men themselves will feel like fight
| ing before the dogs are through. He goes
| further and says, that d man who will not
fight for his dog will not make good hus-
band nor good citizen.

can hardly tell who is good husband. / |
know one man who is grave and dignified |
rather severe in his manner, when with
his wite-so much 50 that she VIII not tell
an anecdote in company without looking
at him all the time, and deprecating his
displeasure, by constant sicky laugh, and
by frequent references to him as authority !
When through, she will not venture a good
laugh, unless the husband leads off. | know
another man who tells an anecdote under
the same conditions that beset the wife, in
the first case, aud 1 know still another that {
never walks out beside his wife but her
arm is thrust through his, bent to receive q
it; and still other pecularities in husbands G
occur to me, all rather confusing my judy !
ment in determining who is a good hus- {
band. As a good citizen, am worse at sea. /
The average American citizen, however. r
will fight for his dog. Some husbands C
have not spirit enough to fight for them u
selves.
If the gentleman who was speaking about =
had touched on some other Al
points his statements would have been more il
satisfactory. He did say that immigrants "a
rom Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas u,
'irginia, Georgia aud Alabama would be to
great benefit to Mississippi. m
Foreign immigration, in some respects, is +,
in other respects Objectionable. w
