From the Nunnery
Mol tiers Kisses.
A kiss when I wake in tho morning,
A kiss when I go to bed,
A kiss when I burn my fingers,
A kiss when I bump my head.
A kiss when my bath is over,
A kiss when my bath begins j
My mamma is full of kisses, s.
As full as nurse is of pins.
A kiss when I play with my rattle,
A kiss when I pull her hair;
She covered me over with kisses
Tho day I fell from the stair.
A kiss when I give her trouble,
, A kiss when I gave her joy :
There’s nothing like mamma’s kisses
To her own little baby boy.
Facts and Fancies.
What is the most enlightened nation ?
Illumination.
A sweet sight—A pair of lovers chew¬
ing taffy in a theatre.
Disgusting meanness—To tan a dog’s
hide with his own bark.
How docs ahorse regard a man ? As
the source of all his whoas.
Stockings arc now darned by machinery,
and they are darned nice.
What is a husband’s promise about giv¬
ing up tobacco apt to end in ? In smoke.
What did a blind wood sawyer take to
restore bis sight? lie took his horse and
saw.
To make an amusing sympathetic ink,
mix lemon and onion juice. Writing or
pictures made with this mixture on plain
white paper will, when dry be invisible.
But on wanning the paper before a fire
the lines will appear in brown tints. Ve¬
ry pretty effects may thus be produced.
“ If any man wants to be an old bache¬
lor, and get sick at a boarding tavern, and
have a back room in the fourth story, and
have red-haid chambermaid bring his
gruel to him in a tin wash-bason, lie Las
got a perfect right to do it.”
A vigilance committee in Bryan, Wyo¬
ming Territory, waited on a man they call
“Wild Bill,” aud gave him fifteen minutes
to leave town. “Bill’ Gentlemen, if this
mule dou’t baulk, 1 dou’t wan’t but fire.”
A handsome young bride was observed
to be in deep reflection on her wedding
day. One of her bridesmaids asked her
the subject of her meditations. “I was
thinking,” she replied, “which of my old
beaux I should marry if I should become
a widow.”
Why should a wood-cutter never be
hungry ? Because lie can always have a
chop by axing.
A late towerist in the Nile district states
that he saw not only the traces of the croc¬
odile on tho river banks, but also the
prints of whales.
Wc have heard of an individual who
buys one or two shares of stock in every

the annual elections and cat all the annu¬
al dinners.
A correspondent suggests that tho ine¬
briate person who proposed to escort his

It is estimated that there are at least
60,000 American iamilies pcrnwnctly es¬
tablished Jin Europe, living upon the in¬
comes of American investments, and en¬
joying the protection of the American
Government, wi*hout contributing a sin*
glo penny to the payment of our taxes or
toward the wealth of tho country by their

A Wahnino.—A n Illinois paper ut¬
ters a warning: “People at this season
should look out tor the large worm which
infests the tomato vines. Its sting is
deadly poison. It is of a green color, two
or three inches long, and as large as a
man’s finger. At Red Creek, Wayne
county, a few days ago, a servant girl
while gathering tomatoes, received a
puncture from one of these worms, which
created a se*$ation similar to that of a bee
sting. In a short time the poison pene¬
trated to every part of her system, and she
was thrown into spasms which ended in
death.
Immigration—Reply to ilan
, cock.
Editors Chronicle <0 Sentinel :—Such
Messrs. Editors, is the heading of an arti¬
cle in the Chronicle & Sentinel of
Saturday last. We do not know who
headed that article with “Reply to Han*
cock.” It may be the work of an Editor;
therefore, meaning much less than it im*
ports—or it may be the work of the author,
thereby, prejudicing the readerin advance
in favor of his effort. But, Messrs. Edi
tors, in either case, we deny its truth. It
is scarcely au attempt at “reply to Han¬
cock.” in any argument, illustration or fact,
used by us. It is replete with sincrosi
ties and tortuosities, perversions and so¬
phistries, but not with logical arguments
founded upon our premises. It cannot be
expected, therefore, that wc should con¬
sume our time and your space in defence
of the positions wc assumed in our first
communication, until Klux (what a signa
ture to such a subject!) shall read and
understand them, as they are therein
stated and successfully attack them.
\\ e must also request him, in replying to
us, not to mistake an illustration of a fact,
in or of itself. When wc stated in figures
what Georgia could do, wc did not suppose
that any one would suppose that we meant
that it should be done at once.
We unhesitatingly admit that it would
be a great calamity to us to grow a crop of
8,000,000 bales in this State or even 1,-
200,000 bales the next year, other cotton
growing States producing the same ratio.
We expressly and unequivocally argued,
that an excess of production as well as an
excess of population were great evils, but
that they were self-curing, but K. either
did not or would not understand our posi
tion. Those things he must do, if lie
wishes to have fair discussion on a great
and paramount question, second to ro
other now agitating the public mind, cx
cept the return of tho Government to
sound principles. .One other thing he
must not do. lie must not raise fa se
issues with us or attempt * to put * us wholly
,he , defe , „ If _ he ....
°" "’7 e ’ opposes
immigration, let linn . his lor
give reasons
it. He do , this ,. if ., . he ... 11. And ... let
can w
h,m ,. , la, as.de all selfish cons.dorat.ons (tf
he has them) and .nd.r.daal mterests.and
loot more to the publ.e good than h„
ovrn. f,et him explain how other,, not
so fortunate as himself, perhaps, in Retting
hands, are to be supplied witJi labor- Let
him prove that everybody nearly, but him¬
self, is deluded as to the natural increase
of the negro in a state of freedom, and
that increase will make better laborers
than their fathers and mothers. This
would be “furious firing with a great gun”
into the friends of immigration.
ButK. complains of “the use ol the
public funds in promoting immigration
when nobody uses their own private funds
for such purpose.” The people of Geor¬
gia made the same complaint against their
use in building the Western and Atlan¬
tic Bailroad. Does any one complain
now ? It was for the public benefit. So
is immigration ; and besides this, there
arc difficulties in the way of success to
private individuals and local associations,
of which, wc supp.se, tlfat Iv. would do
well to heed in his “reply.”
But Iv. says that he “opposes it in fact,
because the tendency is to cheapen the
price of cotton-” This partakes of the
charaetcr of an argument, anil is worthy
of consideration. If cotton should be so
cheapened from any cans'*, no matter
what—commercial manures, Dickson’s
sweeps, or anything else—as to bring the
price below the cost of production, it
would be an evil, and a great evil. The
argument is just as good against any one
cause as against immigration. “Stick a
pin here,” Mr. Iv , and let us have your
reply. You say that you “use fertilizers,
sweeps, &c., to lesson the cost of produc¬
tion.” Exactly so. We propose to use
cheaper ami better labor “to lessen the
cost of production, too.” It turns out
though, that while you arc doing this you
make a great deal more cotton than yon
could do if you were to use your means.
And icc expect to make more cotton by
increasing labor—labor for every man
now destitute of hands to till his land—
labor that will improve, cheapen and ele¬
vate the labor we now have. Wc arc af¬
ter “dividends" for all—for the country
and not for a few individuals comparative¬
ly, who arc fortunate enough to procure
hands enough and good hands withal, to
cultivate their entire plantation. In short,
Mr. K., we are for a broad prosperity , for
tho general good, for a “little paradise”
hcre in old Georgia. And it wc should
build castles that will reach up into the
air, we intend that no ridicule shall.pull
them down, for we will build them “upon
a rock.”
We regret that K. should have commit¬
ted so many errors in his “Iteply to Han¬
cock.” We deny that we fired “our great
gun” at all. We only fired a squib” to
draw your fire and fired it. from one of our
smallest batteries. The “great gun” is oh
hand, if it shall be necessary to fire it
hereafter. Our little gun will be kept
charged for appropriate gamej a3 its report
was so astounding to you as to induce you
to believe that it “had bursted.” We did
not expect it to produce suftj^a concus¬
sion on your brain as to cause you to con¬
clude that it had exploded. - r
In all seriousness we believe that under
wise and good government the true friends
.of the South, will, by immigration and
other means, redeem the country from
poverty and the inevitable Ignorance and
degradation which willbeour
if we arc remiss in the use of every means
we have or can command. These means
be wisely used. Agriculture is the
gf ea j source of all our prosperity. If we
wou j ( j bc a prosperous people we must
bave a prosperous agriculture. We now
bave no advantages over the other cottoU
growing scctions of tll0 world in our labor ,
We must have free labor, too, and we must

Hancock.
Immigration—Reply to Han¬
cock.
Editors Chronicle (»• Sentinel.
In your issue of the 22nd inst., “Han¬
cock makes his appearance again. I road
“II.’s” letter over several times, and at
each reading of his letter I discovered
that he did not appear to got at all serious
until toward the close of his letter. This
caused ray mind to revert back to the
days of my boyhood, when my father made
it a part of my daily work to curry his
horse “Crocket,” which was a spiteful,
ticklish creature, ‘Crocket” invariably
put himself in a position to le curried, but
so soon as I applied the curry comb, he
began his “tortuosities” and attempts at
biting, kicking and pressing mo against
the walls. But as “Crocket” was only
“firing squibbs,” L usually (by currying a
spot at a time) succeeded in currying him
all over.
“In all seriousness,” if “Hancock” re¬
ally has “Long Tom” or any other “great
gun,” lie should fire at once, for fear spec¬
tators might conclude that his “great gun,”
if not “busted,” was very much disabled,
and tbat his battery only consists of small
guns and stove-pipes. It is certainly
very imprudent in any one to impress an
antagonist with the belief that he is well
armed unless it be really true.
“Hancock says that “K.’s” letter is “re¬
plete with senerositics, tortuosities, per¬
versions arfd sophistries,” and that it is
“scarcely an attempt at a reply. These
are commodities for which I presume
“II.” will receive all they arc worth in
market, and we leave for otlifrs to judge.
By “perversions” wc presume that “H.”
meant to say we had misrepresented the
county on the subject of immigration.
If this inference be correct %rhy did he not
say so, and not attempt such a “flank
move” as he has on this point. We “stick”
to “Traveller’s” remark, and “H.” will
find that he has not taken back, nor will
not. “Hancock” says: “We must re.
quest him (K.,) in replying to us not to
take the illustrations of a fact as a fact.”
Why, “Mr. II.” do you mean by this to
shut the door and lock yourself up. an d
by so doing, thwart any attempt at a re
ply ? Strip your letter of your <“illustra
trations” and there will hb none left. Did
your figures lie ? If not then we must
deal with them just as you did, as practi¬
cal facts. You built your “Pardise” witli
the $24,800,000 “clear profits” which you
received from your 1,200,000 ba’es cot¬
ton, and K. must let your illustratins alone.
No, sir, these (< illmtrations” are sugar
teats, from which the people of Hancock
county may suck in the pap of immigra¬
tion. We put the blister on the right
spot, and if the pain is severe you must
endure it.
“II.” says “when wo stafed in figures
what Georgia could do, wo did not sup*,
pose any one would suppose we meant it
should be done at once.” Let us probe
t his wound a little. “II.” says 24,800,000
dollars “clear ^profits,” ’&c., &c. “What
shall ice” (not our children,) “do with so
much money annually ? We” (not tho
next generation) “cannot afford to let it
Me idle.” “Georgians must be up and
doing” (at once ; not in 1875.) “We
must go ahead (at once, not by and by)
“for other states are moving in earnest.”
Now, will “II.” says that he did not pro¬
pose throwing the flood gates of immigra¬
tion wide open, and grow his illustrated
1,200,Q00 bales of cotton, “at once.” Has
“II” resolved on making that flank move,
or is he only firing “small guns” at “ap¬
propriate game.” Acknowledge that your
“great gun” has bursted, or that your am¬
munition is exhausted from firing squibbs
at “appropriate game.”
“H” pays “we expressly and unequivo¬
cally argued that an excess of production,
as well as an excess of population were
great evils, but that they were self curing,
but K either did not or would not under¬
stand our proposition.” “K” did under¬
stand you, but we object to your “self
ewes we prefer to use preventives.—
Don’t ignore tho old adage, “an ounce of
preventive, &e.,” for it certainly would be
folly to destroy our only certain source of
income by excess of production or other¬
wise, when it can be so easily (for a long
time) avoided. Away with your self cures
and all such nostrums, and join us in susi
taining and retaining upon his throne
our king (cotton,) since it is only through
his influence that we have any power at
all lelt us, and when we dispose ot him
let us demand at least thirty cents per
pound, which by prudence and foresight,
wc can do. Cotton is now bearing a good
price, anil the simple appearance of a big
crop would reduce the price to ruinous
figures. The whole world (outside tho
producers) arc combined to reduce the
price of cotton. Don’t invite the world to
come and share our prosperity, when the
effect would be the blasting of all of ovtr
dividends. Remember that the increase
of the whites is great (saying nothing of
the blacks,) and they must have land to
cultivate. Shut the doors against immi¬
gration and away with your “broad pros¬
perity,” which, perhaps means all Europe.
A prosperity embracing the cotton States
is sufficiently u broad.”
Don’t, wc beseech you, don’t rely on
self-cures; they can only be administer
ed when it is too late. If it were pos¬
sible for your self-cures to remove your
immigrants from the cotton States it might,
in some way, commend itself, but this is
impossible, and we presume its advocates
will claim for it no such virtues.
“II.” says “if he (K ) opposes judicious
immigration let him give his reasons.”—
We have waited patiently for “II.” to de¬
fine “judicious immigration,” as we don’t
wish to be bit, kicked or pressed against
the walls, when we apply the curry-comb.
I will simply stute that I am opposed
to the immigration of plantation laborers,
in every shape and form, c judicious” not
excepted, upon the grounds that it will
“cheapen the price of cotton,” and, iu my
judgment, any such labor for the South
em plantatiuis will prove inefficient, and
thereby increase tbe cost .of production.—
Again, “II.” says, “let him (K.) lay aside
all selfish considerations,” &c. This ap¬
peal might have some significance if I
held all the cotton lands in the South,
but sucli is not the fact. “In all serious¬
ness” we are free to confess that wc are
not so generous au “II.” affects to be.—
We claim that our own poor and landless
should be provided for beforo going to
Europe and elsewhere to find others.to be
stow this great philanthropy of which “H,”
appears to be champion. The most
the poor whites amongst us are worthy.—
They have a common sympathy with us,
they are skilled in the culture of our field
crops, and this is more than I could ex¬
pect from your immigrants, even though
they be admitted through your “judicious”
channel.

“Let him (K„) prove that nearly every
body but himself is deluded as to the nat
ural increase of the negro in a state of free
dom, and that increase will make better la
borers than their fathers and mothers.”—
Since I have no data from which to prove
the natural increase of tbo negro in a statd
of freedom, and I suppose “H.” has none
for disproving it, wo had better decide td
“pass.” I feel under no Obligations td
prove that tho increase will make better
laborers than their perentSj as I never as*
scried it. But, compulsion being the on¬
ly.incentive io field Jaborj it trill be very
difficult for “Hi” to prove that the next
generation of the negro tHJl not bo as
available and faithful as their predecessors.
“II.” says if cotton should be so cheapen¬
ed from any cause, no matter what,” &c.,
&c., as io bring the price df eotton belotf
the cost of production, it would be a great
evil; also, that “the argument is just as
good against any one cause as against im¬
migration.” Here “H.” request us td
“slick a pin” and reply. Well, let us es¬
timate the present crop of cotton being
grown, wilh our present labor and by the
use of fertilizers, improved implements*
Dickson’s sweeps, &c., at 2,500,000 bales,
for which we receive 80 cents per pound.
And the next year, or whenever you
choose by means of immigration (“judi*
cious” it may be,) you produce in Geor- •
gia alone 1,200,000 bales, other States
producing in like ratio, and thereby pro¬
duce a crop of it at least 1 0,000,000 bales,
and the price should fall to five cents per
lb. (and I do not think it would be that)
would not the decline be chargeable to i Uln
migration ? Is it not tho last mile of a
journey that lands you at your destination.
It is the first days of a drought tbat dam¬
ages your crop, or is it the latter ? “H.”
says again: “wo propose to use chdaper
and better labor to lessen the cost of pro*
duction,” etc., “labor that will improve,
cheapen and elevate the labor we now
have.” Well Mr. “H.,” no one will mis** *.
take this for a “great gun.” Where will you
get your “better labor to lessen the cost
of production ?” Will you do it by intro¬
ducing (judiciously) amongst us men who
cannot plow at all, who> undef the most
favorable circumstances, perhaps could
not hoc half an acre of cotton per day, nor
pick fifty pounds of cotton ? Is this your
good labor by which you propose “eleva¬
ting” our present labor and by this “cheap,
better and elevated” labor “H.” contends
that he will lessen the cost of production!
and thereby build a paradise ?” Lastly,
“II.” says : “We regret ‘K.’ should have
committed so many errors in his reply.”—
Well, Mr. “II.” why don’t you hold these
errors up to the light, or fire y.our “great
gun” into them and route them, so that
others, as well as yourself, may see them.

I Love to Steal.
An amusing incident occurred in one of
our down oast churohes a few weeks agtf.
Tho clergyman gave out the hymn :
“I love to steal awhile away,
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hour of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.”
The chorister being absent, the duty
devolved upon tho good old deacon M.,
who commenced, I love to steal, and
broke down. • lt»
Raising his voice to a still higher pitch,
he sang, I love to steal,
As beforo, concluded lie got tbe wrong
pitch and declaring that he had not his
“pitch tuner,” he determined to succeed old
in the attempt. By this time aWJfc®
women were tittering b oinini their fans
whilst tho faces ot the “young ones’'
were all in * broad grin.
jit length after a desperate cough, he
made a final demonstration, and cried out~
I love to steal.
This effort was too much. Jjlvcry one
but the eccentric parson was laughing.—
He arose with the utmost coolness and
said:
“Seeing our brother’s propensities let
us pray.”
It is needles to say that but few of the
congregation prayed.
Caution. —We have read an opinion
from a prominent physician of New York,
that riding babies backwards in their lit
tie carriages causes insanity. We notice
that babies are very often hauled in that
position. It would be well for mothers ttf
put a stop to it.—JfenY.
