E. Guernsey, of Boston, treats the exodus question with ability and perfect fuirness. As the subject will probably receive a consid erable amount of attention, we copy two extracts from Mr. Guernsy’s sensi ble article—one showing how foolish is the idea prevalent among the negroes that they are wanted in ICansaB, wheth er they have any thing or not; and the other treating of the oharacter of labor that might be substituted for their labor should the negroes emigrate in forco. A marked race prejudice is shown against the negro immigrants by the farmers, who are mainly Republicans in politics. Among ’ the small white fanners of the Louisiana hill-parishes and the German settlers in Texas there is exhibited the same antipathy to ne gro neighbors. It may be set down as a fact that any community of white meu who tliemsolvea work in the fields object to being brought into competition with a race considered to bo inferior. ' the objections raised by Kansas farmers to negro settlers is that the blacks aro immoral, and they fear the results of an association of the children of the two races in the public schools. Ex-Governor Anthony, of Kansas, a life-long abolitionist and “pronounced” Republican, said to the writer that he was opposed to a pauper immigration of any nationality or race, and therefore bad no sympathy with the enthusipsM who would open Kansas to the pauper negroes of the South. The most po tent reason against negro immigra tion in the minds of leading men of Kansas is a well-grounded fear that the news of a numerous settle ment of blacks in that State would ferve to turn the tide of white immi gration into Nebraska and Minneso ta- A declared inclination on the part of the present administration in Kan- 853 lo invito a large immigration of ne groes would immensely strengthen the ‘““i“ Democratic opposition, even if it should not result in a division of the local Republican party. The employment of Chinese in the cotton fields of the South has often been mooted; but, to our knowledge, the only practical test, on a large scale, of tiio alleged superiority of Mongolian over African labor has been made in Jexas, where about three hundred Chi- | "nmon, imported originally to build a inroad, have been employed as labor- j? 0n , cot,ton plantations, nr have beon towed to become tenant farmers.

I back*help what’s done behind be » as l be the tramp said when 3 k,( *ed out of doors; Hew a New York Drummer Put American Honey on Queen Victoria’s Table- - . • Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer. New York, Sept. 3.—It is a curious commercial faot that whereas a year ago no American honey in comb was exported to England, not less than half a million pounds will be sent in the next twelve months. The trouble was, honey could not be sent strained und canned ior the reason it would candy, American honey is by far the best honey in the world as regards flavor and pu rity of appearance. Knowing that a New York firm hired Mr. Hodge, a well known honey expert, to introduce it in England. Over the water went Hodge, with a big lot of the sweot stuff in the comb. It required skill to pack it and unload, but it arrived all right, not a cell being burst. The English dealers in honey gave him the cold shoulder, They had the editors of the British Bee Journal give him a raking down, and they themselves added all the mem things they could say. Mr. Hodge made little headway. He was about to give it up for a bad job when a brilliant thought struck him. He mustget the honey on the Queen’s table. How was he to do this? While his teeth after dinner and rum ring flyer for spinning cotton. 1829—The same invented mills with 'T8s\-at“r;fc h. b» k Oil the theories of storms. 1832—James Bogardus invented a dry gns meter. , ,. 1834—Henry Burden invented ms nail making machines. 1836.—James Bogardus invented a P T^P?he same invented the molds to press gloss in while blowing. 1341 The same made improvements in drilling machinery. . . Since then inventions and patents have succeeded one another at a most astonishing rate._ Americans pay raoro for teeth than any other nation on the earth, and vet they do nine-tenths of their ohewmg with their stomachs^ The barber who overheard his Bon speaking disrespectfully of the proles stem took him into the woodshed and lathered him mating upon the subject, his eye alight ed on a pickle jar. It bore the name of a man who had been high steward in Windsor Castle. “He’s my man,’’ said Mr. Hodge to himself, and away he went for the pickle man. Did he rush up to him blurt out: “I want to put my American honey on Victoila’s table?” Not a bit of it. He began to talk pickles with the man—asked a thous and questions about how they were made, ate a score or more of them, and ended by proposing that the pickle man furnish pickles to the American house that he represented. The pickle man was delighted. The New York man gave him an order. They had a bottle of wine together, and then the American said: “Now, I have helped you, you must help me. Can’t you put American hon ey on the Queen’s table?” “Of oourse I can,” was the reply. In no time the arrangements were made. A cas9 of honey wes given to the pickle man, and another sent to the high steward, and in a short time some of it was before the royal family. The young folks liked it so well that Victo ria gave orders ’hat it be kept in the castle. That was enough. American honey was from the moment in demand. Mr. Hodge has just sent orders for the ship ment of 500,00 pounds of this year’s crop. The British Bee Journal flopped over to another side, and was loui praising the American article. Every fashionable person’s table must have American honey. Tbe Peabody Fund. New York, October 3.—The trustees of the Peabody fund again assembled at the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday. The committee, consisting of Hamilton Fish, Bishop Whipple ana General Baines, to whom was refeircd that portion of President Winthrop’s opening address relating to the loss sustained by tbe board of trustees in the recent death of General Richard Taylor, of Louisiana, who was one of its members, reported resolutions in honor of the deceased. The resolutions were adopted and placed upon the record of the meeting. Wil liam Evarts, H. H. Stuart, of Virginia, and Chief Justice Waite, who on Wednesday were appointed to consider those portions of the president’s address of thu general agents report that related to the proposition to invoke the aid of the national government for. the educa tion of the colored children in the Southern States, reported that they had not arrived at any definite understand ing in regard to the subject, and asked leave to report fully at the next meeting. The election of a successor lo the late General Taylor on the board was also laid over until the next meeting. The trustees spent some time discussing the condition of the normal college at Nashville, Tennessee. The standing committees were reappointed with the exception that General Henry R. Jack- son, of Savannah, was appointed to fill the vacancy on the executive committee caused by the death of General Taylor. On motion of Mr. Evarts the board adjourned to meet at Washington Feb ruary 18th. Mistakes of tbe Printer. Some of the Chicago papers are be- (uticura HUMORS OF THE SCALP. LOSS OF HAIR.
