ROUGH CALAMITY.


lCor. New York Mail and Expresal
In the early days of California the men
who gathered in the mining camps in the
gulches or among the mountains seldom saw
a woman's face They grew careless Of their
own appearance; left hair as well as beard to
grow-hair which never saw a brush or
comb-till they came to look like wild men OF
the woods; yet beneath the unkempt locks,
and under the shaggy breast and tattered
garments, there lay. in the heart of every
man a memory Of some farmhouse far away,
and of q mother or sister for whose dear sake
he reverencei the very form Of woman as
sacred Her approach commanded every
token Of respect Said one who had
lived much among the miners: III
they Were driving team on
dusty road. and met woman,
riding the other way, they would turn TO the
right or left to give her the side Of the road
where the dust would not blow upon her."
And if, perchance, at long intervals there az
pcared in the camp the face OF woman,
every mothers son Of them stood one side on
the mountain trail to let her pass, and pulled
off his miners cap, and not seldom the tears
stole into his eyes at thought Of the old folks
at home; Of the mother who sat in the
chimney-corner and who, as the winds blew
and the rains fell, peered out into the dark
ness, and sighed as she asked, Where is my
wandering boy to-night.' 1t would not have
been safe for any one TO whisper a disrespect-
full word as that face passed by. If some vul
gar fellow ventured a coarse remark, the eyes
of others flashed, but they bit their lips and
were silent till the woman was out of sight,
and then, said our informant, that fellow
had got to take lickingm 1t seemed as If
every miner felt that his own mother or
sister was insulted by sheer at one OF her
sex. and they answered the insult with heavy
blows till the coward was kicked and cuffed
out of camp.
When hear such stories as this my heart
relents towards class Of which had judged
hastily and unjustly. And for the same rea-
son that would stand up for the miners, l
would say good word for the cowboys We
need not he frightened by a name. They are
not worse than other men. Why should they
be. They pursue an ancient and honorable
occupation, one held in esteem among every
rural and pastoral people since the time of
Abraham The sons of Jacob themselves. as
| well as the men who attended their fathers
flocss and herds, were cowboys.
In our new states and territories the in
| creasing influences of civilization will work
great changes in the character Of the popula
ton. Time will soften their roughness and
give them more polished manners; but it Is
to he hoped that it will not abate their cour-
age or their chivalry: for these are elements
Of noble manhood, and may in the future
contribute TO form the mighty people that
ure TO constitute and govern our western and
southern commemorative.

The President makes an excellent recon-
mendation to Congress respecting a forest
preserve in that part of Montana lying along
the main range of the Rocky mountains be-
tween the Blaokfoot and Flathead reserva-
tons. III Congress should set apart the
country north of the 47th parallel of latitude
and between the 18th and 115th degrees of
west longitude, as n perpetual forest pre-
serve, such reservation would be of vast
utility in keeping up the waters to feed the
numerous streams flowing from this region.
Should all the forests be cut from this area,
the streams flowing therefrom would be very
materially affected, ana the amount of water
carried by them greatly reduced. This would
be very detrimental to the agricultural and
mining interests depending upon these wa
tiers.
The facts observed in the older portions of
the country clearly shows that the streams
shrink much earlier in the season after the
forests are removed, and there are good rea-
sons TO believe that those which furnish
sufficient water to irrigate large areas would
fail entirely in the warm seasons after the
forests are removed either by fire. or axes.
Nothing IN more truthful than the beauti-
full Chinese proverb: "The rivers are Graded
in the leaves of the pines" a
Forests, too, have happy influence on the
temperature rs well as the moisture and rain
fall of the country. Let us have the "forest
preserve"
