THE GRANT-FLOOD AFFAIR.
All AbOu t the Romantic Episode tina,
Disturbed San FranciccO.

He slid quietly into The State office
yesterday evening, and winked at the
best-dressed, tinest-looking reporter on
the staff.
"Well?" remarked the lead-pencil
spoiler.
He approached, leaned over and
said: give just come from San Fran
cisco. Between the hard roads and
tough conductors, the trip wasn't a
comfortable one. All sorts of reasons
have been given for the Grant Flood
rupture, but here is the true one, and
you can bet on it and win. The young
folks think as much Of each other as
they ever did. 1t was the old 'uns that
busted the racket"
"Well?"
"Grant and Flood were playing draw
poker at the latter's house. There was
a big pot on the table, and both were
excited. Suddenly Grant called and
Flood showed up. He had four aces.
Grant chuckled and threw down five,
and was about raking in the pot when
Flood jumped up and swore there was
cheating.
Grant said that he knew where them
four aces Of Floods came from and
that his son shouldn't marry the daugh-
ter of any old catamaran. He told
Flood that it was impossible for a man
to be gentleman who had once ped
died rum for a living.
"Flood shifted the air and remarke ed
that Grant was only a tanner, anyhow,
and that every time he came in the
house there was an odor of leather
around.
"Grant retorted, and minated that
Flood was the first man who ever sold
a schooner of beer and sandwich for
five cents.
'Then there was terrible row, and
the men parted in sorrow and anger.
The thing might have been settled, if
on going out Grant hadn't taken a bran
new silk umbrella and left a green
Bingham circus tent with a broken
handle and full of holes, in it's place,
but that settled it."
And he slid out as quietly as he had
entered

Attempt to Introduce An American
Fashion into France.

According to the London Telegraph,
an American, recently arrived in
France, ,who saw Lannois throw vitriol
at Marie Dubois, at once rushed to the
spot, protested against Lannois being
handed over to the police, and called
upon the spectators to assist him in
hanging the aggressor to the nearest
lamp-post. AS no one in the crowd
seemed anxious to second this impulse,
the American ran to a neighboring
shop himself and bought two yards Of
rope. On his return he found Lannois
in the custody of two policemen, to
whom he repeated his proposal, and be-
gan to make a running moose in the
cord. With some difficulty he was
made to understand that Lynch law
would not be tolerated in Paris.

HENRY HoFTENBURG had black hair
and rudy complexion when he mar
ried Miss Schwartz at Nashville year
ago. She supposed he was about 40,
though he made no statement on that
point. The honeymoon was scarcely
over before his hair became gray, his
cheeks lost their color, and he showed
at least sixty years. The angry wife
wanted to sue for divorce, but the
lawyer told her that the grounds were
not sufficient The worst she could do
was to desert him, which she lost no

The Popular Demand.

Sogreat has been the popular demand
for the celebrated remedy Kidney-Wort
that it is having an immense sale from
Maine to California. Some have found
it inconvenient to prepare it from the
dry compound. For such the propri-

This can be procured at the druggists.

OCTOBER.

A few more songs and soon these tuneful voices
Ger the blue splendor of the southern sea
Will sound where the red taniger rejoices
Beneath the acacia and the orange tree.
Soon. one by one the rods now bright and golden
Will turn to dusty brambles by the way,
And starry asters fall as from the olden
Rich tapestries the glories fade away.
Slowly the rlshes, and the flags of iris,
Dropping, no more their purple banners raise,
And deep, as in the land OF dark Osiris
Streams the red light, through bars OF chryso
praise.
A few more days and all the world of flowers,
The light and glory on the land and main,
Will fade as once on great Aladdin's towers
The enchantment passed, and all was dark
again.
No kingly power or wand Of necromancer,
Can gid with gold the withered fields again.
No clarion voice can fill, with jocund answer
4 veil of silence falls on hill and plain.
Yet in the west an orange light is burning,
Where bright heavens steadtast lamp is lit on
high,
And bold Orion comes, each night returning,
With countless worlds on worlds. beyond the
sky.
And love shall live, though all the rocks should
crumble,
And with the everblooming cypress last,
And warm hands clasp, tho loud the storm winds
rumble.
And joys burn brighter in the wintry blast.

JACKSON, Miss, March 6, 80.
Mr.. S. H. stlckhouse, Crystal Springs, Miss;
Dear Sir You say in one of your
recent communications to THE COMET,
"that the day will come when all along
the Chicago and New Orleans Rail-
road there will be fruit farms and
vegetable gardens" Nothing truer
was ever uttered. Then oul country
will bloom and blossom like the
rose.n We never can become prosper
Gus until there is an influx of small
farmers into our State-men who will
come with small amount of money
to buy 25 or 30 acres of land, who
will work, and all their children work,
who do not wish great crowds of
negroes about them-when that kind
of immigration once begins, all the
desirable land on both sides of the
railroad will go right up. There will
be such hustle in all the little vii
lagos as our Southern people never
once dreamed of. Our Legislature
should do more to encourage the i'm
migration of small farmers. An able
Commissioner should be appointed
and at least $4,000 placed at his dis
posal. See what Tennessee has done.
That State has added to its wealth
10000, 900 through the eXertions of its
Commissioner, (see report of Col. Kill
lebrew.) Why have you not urged
our Solons to pay more attention to
the greatest of all subjects. The
thousands of acres of broom-sedge
land everywhere to be seen, remind us
fOrcibly that there is no Improvement
going on. Our last Legislature APP
propriated a large amount for the
Agricultural College. How much bet
ter to have appropriated the money
towards turning the tide of immigra-
ton to this State These small farm
ers would throw light through the
land which this college can never do.
They are practical, and every COM
munity would be benefited by their
presence. Yours truly, G.

TME NEGRO EXODUS.

Negroes are leaving here nearly
every night for Kansas, and some
twenty left last night. Bereft Of so
many laborers, naturally induces those
who are engaged in working the soil
to meet the emergency, and find some
means of procuring laborers in the
Mace of those who are leaving the
country. According to statistics, over
10000 freedmen have already left the
South for Kansas alone. We suppose
about the same number have gone to
Indiana and Ohio making about
10000 altogether.
These poor creatures have sacrificed
what lit worldly goods they have, to
try their fortunes in country which
calls for a new system of labor to that
under which they have been raised.
We know an old negro who was
doing well herc--had a comfortable
home, and was making very good
living sold his place for one hundred
dollars, and went tn Kansas. His
place now rents for Sl00-the amount
for which it was sold. He has weak
constitution, and no doubt in Il year or
two will die, and leave his family to
starve.
The negro is not noted for enter
prise, and when he has to compete
with the energetic Yankees, he will
starve to death. Besides, in such a
cold climate, he must work just twice
as hard as he does here, in order to
make up for six months IN the year,
when he is confined to his house-if he
happens to have one. The black man
belongs to Il warm climate, and he
can't flourish anywhere else. When
he tries his fortune among the SHOWS
of Kansas he VIII be satisfied, not be-
fore.
In case the negro exodus continues,
what are we to do for laborers? 1t
seems as if the immigration which
hocES from The old world find
homes in the North and West, and
few move Southwark. Our soil must
be cultivated, and we must have
laborers. There is class of laborers
who belong to the Celestial Empire,
who are good workers, thrifty and i'll
dustrious although they are much
abused, and are said to have ruined
the State Of California and that is
the heather Chimee.
This is altogether a mistake-Cal-
ifornia has depended upon this labor
system, which was altogether salts
factory until their cheap labor was
about to run white labor from the
State. 1t is Il war between white
laborers and the Chinese. The China
man can liyeon little rice, aud wears
little clothes, and studies economy,
and can afford to work cheaper than
the white laborcr.
We prefer the negro, as a labOrer, to
the Chinaman, and we would prefer
foreign immigration, but suppose we
can't get either, must we let our fields
grow up in broom-sedge because they
say the Chiuaman is filthy and smokes
opium?
The departure Of the negroes for
Kansas should arouse ourpeop in the
great cause Of immigration. Adver-
tse our soil and climate to the world
contradict false rcpors about our po-
litical condition; and when once the
tide of immigration turns S,uthward,
our waste places will soon be as
densely populated as the vastly
pcoplcd districts of the North and .
West
