SHAFFER. 3L Wercl Willi jr. ait'Xaylor- to mn growling grisman. Mr. Editor : A ft or Mr. Tay lo r's courteous reply to my letter, I re gret that I cannot accept the situa tion gracefully. lie was moderate in his estimation of Xcbraska. If he was not pleased with the coun try; of course he was" 51 liberty to say-so, but alter livluij Hie greater part of my life in Ihc West, I would naturally be somewhat wary of the cbalT that Mr. Grisman offers. Though he were a thousand Gris tnans and wrote ten thousand letters to as many Louisville Journals, the wealth and progress of the Great 'West'would still "go marching on." I am exceedingly sorry to say that T baye not been "over the State of Nebraska and seen it in its entire ty ;" neither have I seen the whole of Illinois that blissful Stale where "r there is 60 much good land lying around loose in "large tractB.' Xor have I been in London, Paris, or Home, but I know something of those places from what fvc heard and read. " - That little drama that feupcr-s.il-ly-ous drama that has been enacted bo long on the sands or the G. A. D. (Great American Desert) and that has for its scenic operations a "strip of country 20 to 40 miles wide'1 ly ing adjacent to the Missouri river, has now been swept away by one of the greatest waves of'ngriculturc the "West lias ever seen. Farmers who have raised corn in Ohio, Illinois and Iowa declare they never saw anything like it, aud we arc 00 miles from the Missouri river. An honest Englishman, who has lately been out 70 miles. further wcst,ays tho crops there arc asgoodis here. How can you expect other people lo indorse Mr. Grisman's letter wheu you dou't do so yourself, Mr. Taylor? You say "that of the two Slates there is more land in Kansas that will pro duce something, tluui in Nebraska,'' and in his letter you allow him lo tay, "there is no Stale in tho Union that has as much poor- laud as Kan sas." Really" now, Mr. Taylor, you and Mr. G. should have arranged this little matter amicably between yourselves, so as uol lo clash iu this slip-shod manner. Grismans tear ful Jctter. would have had more weight with rue, had I not once upon a time seen just such another letter . from Kentucky, wherein the writer complained of the farms that were set upon edge where the plow boys, plow horses, and all were in danger of being pitched intochaqs and eternity, over the yawning preci pices, or into the numerous sink holes that dotted Ihc country like holes in a pepper-box. (t did hoar of one man who with his team was taken iu, but found his way out inlo a aeighboring river, -though T have always doubted the latter part of tho story). The streams and wells were dry, and farmers had to resort to plowiug and scraping to make basins for the stock lo drink from. The .grabs and-crkfejs ;haPgivcn the-bltrc graiTi extra" dig.

Jti . AVU.V - ' et ana-hoop-pt)Ie. These compar isons don't stand the test, and argu ments based on such flimsy premises fall Hat as a collapsed balloon. Now, as Mr. Grisman says so much against people going West, where they "can never live com fortable." I will tell of something I have seen in Illinois and Iown wheu they were new states, and if everybody had been as heroic as G., they would have been new to-day. A woman who is living near Cam bridge, Henry Co., III., told me when thej- first moved ihere the nearest neighbor on one side was six miles off', aud the nearest in an other direction was ten miles. For four 3'ears she hadn't a pair of shoes to her feet, and Chicago was the nearest market where hogs were $1.50 per cwt., and wheat 25 cts. per bushel, and it took three weeks to make the trip. Another womau in Iowa whose husband had gone 75 miles to get work, let her fire go out, and had to leave lier two young children in bed while she went six miles on foot to gel fire of her near est neighbor; aud the snow was a foot deep. "When I knew them they were in good circumstances, though the chinch bugs had ruined their wheat, aud in fact all the wheat for miles around; but thai was nothing new to me, for I had seen chinch bugs in Illinois, where they had swarmed all oyer the country. They crawled on the tables and chairs, and even over the people them selves, after destroying a good share of the wheat and corn. Then they had hail, and hot winds, and plenty of cold ones I'm very sure about the latter. The first year we were there the farmers almost stood on their heads in fear of the seyenteen- year locusts, as' they were due that year, and they did come too, but not iu sucli overwhelming numbers as formerly, but they sang on the hill-lops and screeched iu Ihe trees, till we couldn't hear our own voices. And that was the proverbial wet season that ihe oldest inhabitant said came along every seven years ; and iu anticipation of the drowned crops how the folks trembled in their boots I was going to say, and would yet, only lhat so many of them were barefoot and otherwise half clad. I remember once seeing a man come inlo meeting iu mid winter iu his shirt-sleeves minus a vest. Now, let Grisman Irot out his Kansas ragamuffins, if he Icels so disposed. In those halcyon days of Illinois Ihc people entertained the new comers with ndcounls of hurri canes, where entile, and wagons, aud human beings were carried off" iu the air together. I abhor slang on general principles, hut "how was that for high T' The next vcar Ihov had the chinch bugs before men tioned, and u drouthand Ihc ground baked as the farmers expressed it, and there were great crevices into which we children made dailv but unsuccessful attempts to insert our pedal exlrcmities. "O, you can't raise fruit in thi3 Stale onlv along the limber, was iterated and reiter ated for at least a dozen years after we went Ihere. It never entered their wooden heads that they could plant timber, and raie i( at Ihe same time willfihc fruit.' People coming inlo the couiflry saw that every other man wanted lo sell .out, and were . therefore afraid to buy. Thought the old rcsideniers'wanled to spring n trapjan them. Grisman's howls sound so naturnal they seem to be but a re-echo of those heard in Illinois in tho long ago. I only mention these tbingd to show that Kansas and Nebraska stand u fair chance to cvolule out of the kinks In due time. The dole ful notes. from-Kansas or aliy other piaco are only tno ciiroim wails of discontent; the longings for the flcth-po'is of Egypt. One of our III. neighbors was forever crying to go back lo'-Injiauy."' They had plenty of apples to eat and wood to bum "'way 'ecu yatinder." I f-aw some apples lately lhat were brought from Illinois, and they looked .so' wilhet-J cd-$nd woe-bego'nc we thought they must be of the same lot that "Win. Tell cho.-e from.

From Grisman's grim letter one might suppose him to be a defeated candidate for state or coun ty office, hence wo have Kansas as shown through his bluo spectacles. Have I written ungenerously and resurrected the ".buried hatchet" that was to be? then on the Grisman cranium let the blame rest, for heav en knows I meant to be good as gold. It might be well to remember that thcro will be miles beside miles of wheat, and leagues beyond leagues of corn raised in Kansas and Nebras ka when the croakers who croak and the growlers who growl shall haye passed away, and tho places that know them shall know them no more forever.
