Nearly all our able preachers, statesmen,
merchants and bankers and successful busi-
ness men have been reared amid rural sur
roundings and in well ordered country
homes. Mothers in the country are de
voted to their families and household af-
fairs rather than to fashion and frivolty.
Four-ffths of our great men attribute their
success in life to early marriages and sound
maternal training.

The great bulk of horse hair used in
the United States is imported from the Ar
gentine Republic and Uruguay. The hair
sells in Buenos Ayres and Montevideo at
from 26 to 30 cents per pound, and is
packed in bales weighing about 1000
pounds, and costing from $3.50 to $500
each. The total amount imported in 1882
was 4, ,OS2, 900 pounds, ofwhich a,417, 900
pounds came from South America, 10000
pounds from Mexico, and $4,000 pounds
from Russia. In the previous year the
importation was 3,643,9 ,972 pounds, and in
1880 nearly 100000 pounds; but in
1879 it was not quite 2,O00,aO0 pounds.
Assuming an average price of % cents per
pound, the amount imported last year
would reach total value of aboutS1 ,15O,
600. The bulk of this horse hair is man
ufactured by four or FIVE concerns, one of
which is in Boston, one in New York, one
in Philadelphia, and one in Baltimore.

THE birthplace of James Bu-
chanan, in Clarion county, Penn
sylvania, is unmarked, not even
a sign board pointing the way to
it. The section is rough and
mountainous, and has few inhabi-
tants. 1t has been allowed to
lapse into its primitive wildness
and there is now nothing left to
mark the spot but two heaps OF
stones that once were the chin
neys of the cabin and store. There
is nothing to cause the traveller to
doubt the statement made by tie
president himself, that when he
was little lad in this mountain
home it was the custom of his
parents to hang a bell about his
neck, so that be might not be lost
amid the rocks and thickets
when he was permitted to 60 out.

SECRETARY of the Interior Tel
Ter has told a Chicago newspaper
that there was nothing further
going to be done about the land
grants to those railroads which
were never built, except on paper.
Decisions of his predecessors in
Office were to the effect that the
grant was absolute to the parties
provided for in law and could be
held by them, the building of the
road being an extraneous condit.
ion. He did not desire to overrule
his predecessors. Possibly g
remedy to recover the lands under
the so-called elapsed grants
might be found in congress or in
the courts.

ABOUT the first of last Decem-
Der a proposition was made to the
Oregon and California r. r. Co.,
to build the road from Forest
Grove to Astoria and exchange it
for the land grant. BY accepting
this proposition the present own
ers Of the land grant would have
become the owners OF q railroad
running from Forest Grove to As
toria without the expenditure of a
dollar. 1t was the intention of the
parties TO begin at Astoria and
build as far as the Nehalem, thus
saving the grant from being for
feited. The proposition was not
accepted. 1t would be reasonable
to suppose that if the present
holders of the grant did not ac-
cept such a proposition they would
of themselves build the road. But
In that we are mistaken. Seven
months have elapsed since that
proposition was made and we do
not see any serious movement
made looking to the building of a
railroad. They may be intending
to build a railroad sometime in
the course of a few years. But at
present their actions clearly indl-
cate that the policy of the compa-
ny is to delay the building of the
road and also to delay the forfeit
ure of the land grant as long as
possible.
BY rejecting this proposition t.
build the railroad without cost,
and refusing 70 build it them
selves, the Oregon and California
railroad company has made itseii
the enemy of Oregon's best inter.
ests. 1t is possible that the com
panJ's interests are so interviewer
with that Of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, and the Tacoma
and Portland land schemes, that il
was not considered best to build
the Astoria railroad. But when
we consider the company's con-
tract to build the railroad within
six years, and its refusal TO build
or allow others To build after
thirteen years, forbearance ceases
to be virtue. The forty-eighth
congress convenes in Washington
next December. If we can judge
OF its temper, the people as well as
the railroads will get a hearing and
justice. If our people now dc
their part we shall next winter
have this railroad grant where il
belongs, and that is with the peo-
pie. Astoria and the Nehalem
valley do not now need the as
sistance of any subsidy to secure
a railroad. We only want this in
cubus of grant removed.
