WHERE ARE YOUR FoREHEADs !?

It is about time some one was appointed
to make an investigation on the subject and
see whether the girls nowadays really have
any foreheads, or whether they have all
&" gone of" like Pats gun, with a "bang !"
A sensible writer in the Inteligencer says
that men seem to wear them as they used
to do. And ladies, also, of advanced or
advancing years. But as | go to the city
daily, and see in the street, and on the
cars, and ferry. boats whole bevies of bright
and beautiful girls, am constantly won
dering at, if not admiring, the ingenuity
displayed in covering up, hiding and prac-
tically getting rid of this, browning feature
of the human face divine. What it has
done, or what change has passed upon it,
that it should be SO ANONYMOUSLY expelled
from sight, am unable to discover or i'm
agine Time was when lover might have
been as much enraptured with his mistress's
fair brow as with her beautiful eyes, but
now he can only sing, if he sings at all, the
fascinating frizz, the delightful fluff, or the
lovely bang his lady wears, behind which
her forehead long since disappeared.
To me it seems against nature. If she
had wanted the forehead covered up with
hair, she'd have made it grow there, like
the beard on mans chin. / wonder if
you like it any better than / do? / don't
believe the minister does, for I've noticed
two or three times, when he had girls to
baptize, he could hardly find spot on
their foreheads big enough to put his
fingers on, and it did seem to trouble him
a little. Perhaps l oughtn't to say it, and
vet somehow it set me to wondering how the
angel it speaks of in the Book OF Revela-
ton could find room to seal the servants of
God in their foreheads or write their
Fathers name there if they were all COW
cred up like that.
I'm very much afraid we've seen the
last of them-tae foreheads, l mean-and
another generation won't have any, unless
a change comes very quick. You know

FORFEITURE WOULD WORK GREAT
HARDSHIP TO TIE PEOPLE.
Sacramento Daily Bee, February LIST. /

At "a meeting of the House Committee
on Public Lands Thursday morning, the
bill declaring the land grants of the Cali
fornia and Oregon and Oregon and Califor.
MIA Railroad grants forfeited was taken up
for discussion. After short debate the
committee took vote, and decided to re-
port the bill favorably, which will be done
early next week. II this bill shall be
passed by Congress, it will work great
hardship to the people of at least the north.
ern and central section Of California. 1t
will indefinitely postpone the work of con.
Meeting the two great agricultural States OF
Oregon and California. This will result in
retarding for years the settlement of some
of the finest land the sun ever shone upon.
The people most deeply interested, those
living along the proposed line and those
who expect to be benefited by the wealth
OF trade which would rush back and forth
on the completion of the road, are firmly
opposed to any action of Congress whereby
this grant shall be declared forfeited-and
they hope and trust that our Senators and
Representatives will see the matter in its
proper light.

WISE MEN WILL NOT BE FRIGHTENED.

1t NAV be that in the future we can get
all the railroads we want without any
help by coin or land. But one thing is
very certain, we should not have any OF
those now in operation but for that help.
TIE people of Lake county want railroad
and are willing to pay anybody who will
build one for them considerable money.
But some people pretend to think it would
be very wicked to subsidize railroad.
Some see great evils in the aggregation of
capital sufficient to build railroad of any
dimensions. They stand in holy horror of
corporations, for fear they will want more
than their share of the profits of any busi-
ness they may do. They seem to suppose
the co. operation of three or four men in
any work changes their nature, makes
them greedy and heartless. This is spe-
cially true of corporations held by politi.
cal opponents, or in which they have no
interest. Still it will be true to the end
of time, that clear. headed men aggregate
capital form corporations, receive help
from Others and work vigorously to pro-
mote the general welfare by great enter
prises. Aud wise men will not be fright
ened out of their propriety by any of
these things any moro than they will by
the bowling Of agrarians and demagogues.
Mutual helpfulness will still live to bless
when these screechers are dead.

A MOST HONORABLE PROPOSAL.
IYrelsa Union, February 18th. J

OnlOu,
The Pacific railroad companies are en-
deavoring to secure an extension of time
for the construction of uucompleted roads,
and the matter has been presented before
Congress. Their time has already expired,
and the House Committee have agreed to
declare the lands forfeited. In some Sec
tions of the Pacific slope there are very
poor inducements for a railroad unless it
secures a land grant. Take our own Sec
ton, for instance. The 0. and @. and Z.
and C. railroad lines pass through noun
tainot district, and the land bordering is
of scarcely any value except some that is
covered with timber, and as it is not locs.
ted or settled upon the forest fires during
the summer months do twice as much
damage as the woodlands axe. Besides,
there are vast tracts of barren land that ia
not suitable for any use whatever. II the
companies secured grant for the odd geo.
tions. they would certainly obtain some
valuable land, but the bulk of it is perfectly
worthless, and will always remain so, unless
the completion of the road would make it
valuable, and if it should have that effect,
it would likewise enhance the value of the
even sections. The matter as laid before
Congress by the railroad people Is Jnst ana
re asonable, and is so looked upon by the
people of the northern part of the State,
who are sensible enough to recognize the
fact that the railroad will do us more good
than the productive land which the
company would come into possession Of.
They ask for more time, that their land
grant shall not be declared forfeited, and
that commission be appointed to ap-
praise all lands-improved and otherwise
and they will enter into an agreement to
sell the land at not more than the appraised
value This would give the settler a chance
to hold his land at rates as cheap as those
of the Governmentsand the railroad would
increase the value of his land double what
he would pay in to the company. as i'm
proved land would be appraised at the
same price as unsettled land. In our esti-
nation it is the most honorable proposal
that ever emanated with any railroad cor
poration

DEMOCRATIC PAPERS OPPOSE THE
FORFEITURE.
Yreka Journal, February 10th. !

The Democratic papers generally, after
making great howl for buncombs in re.
gard to forfeiture of railroad grants, are
the first to oppose such forfeiture, when
capitalists refuse to invest their money in
yell while Republicans were in power for
failing to reduce the rates to three cents
per mile. with two oat of the three Rail-
road Commissioners Democrats, and now
with the Board all Democrats, no such re.
duction has been made. Railroads are
necessary for the prosperity and develop
ment of the country, and when men invest
their capital in such enterprises, they
should be allowed q reasonable chance to
gain some profit, in place of being made
bankrupt, as the moneyed men will be who
invested capital in the California and Ore
gon Railroad and the Northern Pacific, if
deprived of the land.
If the people were secure against COM
bination or pooling of the different COM
panies, to keep up rates, there would not
be so much desire to forfeit the land
grants heretofore extended. 1t would be
good thing for the country to aid libsrally
any competing line, and this was the view
taken by many in giving such liberal
donation to the Northern Pacific and the
Atlantic and Pacific, towards having a
number of competing lines to open up the
country between, now of little value. with
the additional benefit Of cheapening the
through traffic.
No doubt if the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific and Oregon roads are
bapkrupted, that rich capitalists will Sc.
cure the road and make close corporation
with the other overland routes. This com.
binatiou would not be so bad, if an inter-
state measure for uniform rates in every
State, like the bill offered by Reagan OF
Texas, could be adopted. Such bill,
however, has no chance of success, as it is
opposed by Democratic members in Con.
gress, to great extent, and also by the
business men, probably on the ground that
while it might do on some roads it would
prove disastrous to others having small
amount of business. Onthe main trunk roads
generally throughout the country, where
the business is extensive, fares are gen.
orally quite low, where there are compel.
ing lines within short distance but the
small feeders throughout the country,
aggregating several hundred thousands OF
miles, could probably not be run and pay
expenses on general rate for the entire
country, which we suppose to be the cause
of opposition to the Reagan bill.

Rugby has made such a beginning,

foundation that the superstructure
must grow, and that it is satisfac-
torily building up is patent to all.
No one comes here under false re-
presentation, and no apparent effort
has been made by the Board to fill
us up. We have grown from the
fact of our acknowledged geograph-
ical position and climate, and our
character as community of order
loving, intellectual and generally
cultivated people, with the recon-
mendation of residents to outside
friends and inquirers to come in and
see for themselves what manner of
men we are.

RuaBY's POSITION AND PROSPECT.

The opening Of the new year to
Rugby gives a promise Of success
that has within it all fair assurances.
Looking back, too, over the past
twelve months we see that the crisis
of the settlements growth has been
reached, and now more than conva-
lescence-strength is surely return
ing to the community. As is said
of the sailor, it might formerly be
said of the Rugbeian-"if he doesn' t
grumble he is nothing" That period
of discomfort was severe one, but
the dead may now bury their dead.
We see more of the silver lining than
of the cloud.
The difficulties and objects of the
Board of Aid are very differently
apprehended this winter than they
were during the winter and spring of
1881. There was then very just
cause for much complaint, but there
was also not sufficient faith ,,on the
part Of some settlers in themselves.
Then the country and surroundings
were entirely new to the majority
their capability was not grasped,
neither did the new corners from old
and settled communities, know their
own capabilities, or the necessary
powers of endurance.
1t was very common idea in the
early days that the Rugby colony
was Society" or Brotherhood
into which it was necessary, before
entry, to pronounce some Shibboleth,
Much of that idea, too, has disap-
peared, but there is still some i'm
impression with many outsiders,
instanced to US in conversation and
correspondence, that some applica-
ton, differing from that of other
communities in America, is required
of those seeking admission among
us. Now we emphasize as strongly
as possible that Rugby,with Chicago,
Cincinnati, New York, or elsewhere,
is open to all, the almighty Dollar =
and the ''trade dollar" with a small
discount, being the only Shibboleth
we have.
