RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Journal makes mention of anticipated rail-
road movements in the coming legislature as
follows
The efforts of previous sessions to have a
General Railroad law enacted will be renewed.
Some such law as was drafted by Governor
Dippley last winter will form the groundwork
of the proposed measure.
A renewal of the railroad war of last winter
is predicted, but we fail to discover at present
signs of any struggle.
1t is understood that the memorial present.
ed during the last session relating to a forced
connection on the part of the Boston and
Maine Railroad with the Maine Central will
come up for consideration at an early period
An effort will be made to extend the Georges
Valley Railroad.
Last winter an order was introduced pro-
viding for the repeal of the charter which the
same Legislature had given for a railroad
from Bath TO Portland. This order will come
up as part of the unfinished business of last
winters session.
The Maine Central will ask for the right to
extend and maintain its new road from Benton
to Waterville. and from Waterville across
the Kennebec river, northerly, to connect with
its track on the east side of the river.
The Somerset Railroad Company will ask
for an extension of their line from Bingham
to the northerly line of the State to connect
with the proposed Lewis and Kennebec rail-
way.
The Somerset and Kennebec Railroad Com
pany, which is leased to the Maine Central
will apply for authority to change its road be
tween kendalls Mills and Winslow.
bo rtor ill ba oeGod for a ;JrooJ ho
tween Bangor and Portland, which, it is said
has in view connection with the Boston and
Maine.
The Passadumkeag Railroad Company will
ask for the right to extend their road westerly
to connect with the Penobscot, and Lake Me
gantic Railroad Company will ask for an ex.
tension of time within which to complete the
location of their road.
The Bangor and Calais Shore Line Compa'
ny will apply for permission to bridge the
Penobscot at Bucksport. This proposition
will undoubtedly cause a struggle, as there il
| movement to have the road connect with the
proposed Bucksport and Bangor road, and
not make Bucksport its terminus at this end
or permit it to connect with any other road
on the west side of the Penobscot.
The City Government of Portland will ap.
ply for such authority as will give that city
the exclusive control of Commercial street and
other marginal ways and the railroad tracks
thereon, with view, az is it urged,t recover
ak rights heretofore granted any railroad cor.
poration, and to put stop, as 1t is stated, to
railroad contest that is going on for the
possession of Commercial street.
The attempt of last winter to have police
powers conferred on conductors, and estab
lish uniformity of rates in the transportation
of freight and passengers, is likely to be
made again this winter.
There will probably be other railroad mat
tiers presented for legislation which have moi
yet been disclosed.

Congestion of the Lungs.

WAUPACA, Wisconsin.
DEAR SIR Late in April, my father, who
is seventytwo years of age, and has been a
practicing physician most of his life, was
seized with Inflammation of the liver, followed
by congestion of the right lung, the attack
being return of one from which he was just
recovering.
The disease finally eliminated in what our
physician called 'scatarrh of the lung" and
which others have called a "bronchial affec-
ton"
For more than three months father has been
troubled with severe cough, which gave him
no rest night or day.
The doctor having exhausted all remedies
without any effect, we commenced to use Fell
lows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites
the 22d of August, at which time the expec-
toration was very copious, very tough. Cocoa.
sionally of the nature Of matter) and gener-
ally brick color.
Since that time it has entirely changed its
nature, the color is quite light, with no mix
ture of blood, and is only about third as
much in quantity.
The swelling in his limbs which has troubled
him for about three months, has nearly disap-
peared. and he is fast recovering.
Yours respectfully, S. E. MARSH.

Some of the Washington busy bodies
have undertaken to map out the policy
that General Gushing is to pursue in his
new mission. One of the subjects to which
he will give his attention will be the pol
lev of political and administrative reforms
in Cuba as the best means calculated 10
restore peace to that island and promote
its prosperity, and among those reforms
is included the abolition Of slavery IN the
Antilles. These views it is said have re-
spectfully been enforced, both In Inc
Presidents annual Message and The official
correspondence Of Secretary Fish, ana
which have been often communicated to
the Spanish Cabinet. 1t will be recollected
that several years ago our Government
rendered its good offices to Spain, in the
hope of Cuban pacific alton, and that they
were repeatedly declined on the basis
suggested. 1t is not improbable that a
similar tender will again be made by the
new Minister, as the Administration will
resort to every proper expedient for the
purpose OF restoring peace, and OF pro-
tecting American interests in Cuba and the
adjacent waters. And there can be no
doubt that an effort will be made to con-
clude new commercial treaty with Spain.
the only one ever made with that power
being that of 1895, of friendships. limits,
and navigation.
