RAILROADS..

Ed. TELEG RAPH:--Just now there is quite q
breeze about railroad in this'part Of this
county. A few weeks ago the Milwaukee
and Chicago papers stated that road was
in contemplation from Waukesha to Chicago,
which would pass through this county, west
of Salem. Since then railroads have been
the principle theme of discussion, wonder
ing where this agreeable lightning would
strike us. We begin.sto see it coming, as
party were seen last week vending their
way along the banks Of Fox River with
chain and surveyors instruments, which
now looks as though somebody ment BUSH
ness. They were certainly fortunate in
selecting this season of the year when king
frost has old Nature sealed up for this un
dertaking, as no human being could traverse
the route taken with the frost out of the
ground. They made straight cut across
Grass lake and struck at or near Mooneyville,
last Saturday night, which is about two
miles west of Antioch, but further on south
then, | believe, were to make LiberiyVille,
Ill, If our railroad magnates had the sagac-
ity of the noble red man who at one time
traversed this region ages ago, they wsuld
not send men looking for route through
tulo Cuuuty dAuHB tuc UhukS Oh EOA IlVeCs
Mr.. 10 was not an engineer, so necessity
compelled him to overcome nature by
thought md observation ages ago. No one
knows how long ago the red man laid trail
from Chicago to Milwaukee, touching at
Burlington and Rochester, in this state.
This trail remains intact through Salem and
down into Lake county, but just how far I
am not informed The shrewdness of Mr..
Lo is displayed in laying this trail exactly
on the divide between the head-waters of
the Fox and O'Plaine rivers SO exactly is
this trail on the divide that at different
locations in Salem the trail is the dividing
line, the water on the east side of the road
making to the O. Plaine, and on the west side
to Fox river. A straight line drawn across
Kenosha county to Dover from the head of
Grass lake, on the state line, which is an
open plain, end on this divide. would not
encounter single bluff to be dug down or a
single stream to be bridged over of any
magnitude. But we shall see what we shall
see in the future, if there is any thing in
this furore. Forty YEARS.

FALSE PRIDE.

Women complain that if by force of
circumstances they are obliged to earn
their own living, they are snubbed by
their fashionable acquaintance. Well,
what Of it? Leave your false gentility
behind you, and proveto the world that
you are no less lady because you
work for your living. This terror of
losing caste is a stronger motive with
women in villages and inland towns
than in cities, where the ideas of both
men and women are broadened and
made healthy by friction with different
classes. In most country villages
probably you will find families of
daughters grown old, dependent upon
q worn-out father, or brothers who
wish and ought to marry. but are kept
from it by this domestic weight. They
are cut to the quick by their humilia-
ton, the bread of dependence which
they eat is bitter and scanty, every
body knows their poverty, and they
know that every body knows it, they
are not ashamed to take gifts from
more lucky klnsfOlk. But they will
not work for pay, let them starve if
need be, providing they can wrap their
gentility about them as shroud and
be buried in it. Is this true pride :?
Cast the heavy burden behind you
forever, and go to work honorably to
relieve your own wants, and supply
your own needs. By good sense you
can conquer this terrible society"
and in time command it's homage.
