AGRICULTURAL.

The cabbage is an excellent food for cat
tie, and deserves to be cultivated to a greater
extent for that pursose. A Scotch expert
menter found he could obtain fourty-two tons
of cabbages per acre, but only twenty-six
tons Of turnips. The profit made by convert
ing these foods into mutton was greater in
the case of the cabbages, by nearly SO. The
outer leaves of the cabbage are the most nut
ritious, and the young plants are superior to
the old. As fodder crop, the opened leaved
varieties are 10 be preferred to the more COM
pact kinds. The great drawback to the use
of cabbage is that it cannot be stored for any
length Of time, like the tur nip or mangel.

SOUTHERN RAILWAYS.
Rate Out tting to be Done.

ATLANTA, GA, December h-for
some weeks there has been an ugly feel
ing between the lireen Line, all rail
route, and the Baltimore and Ohio rail
and water route, to the southwest. The
struggle has been over the western
freights, the Baltimore line proposing
to cut rates ~ as to crpturc treights,
The Green Line appealed to the
Southern railroad and Steamship
Association, of which both are
members. A meeting was soon held
in Atlanta. In tho meeting sl65, OOO,-
600 Of capital was represented. After n
stubborn contest, = compromise was
patched up, the freights pooled, and the
present rates will be maintained. Ii is
believed that this compromise is purely
temporary, and that the fight is inevita-
BILE and imminent 1t will be u bitter
struggle. The kenesaw Route on Tues
day, cut the price Of tickets to New York
to $50. The Piedmont Air Line nj once
cut To- $3.50. A conference was had be-
fore the Air Lines cutting circular was
posted, and rates were restored. 1t IL
conceded on all sides that the pool IL in
great danger OF breaking up. When II
does, the Southern lines will open a
ruinous war. Each meeting OF the pool
il more prolonged and unsatisfactory
than the preceding one, and the cutting
of rates may lie looked for any day.

road, about fifty miles east oi tho city
Young man named James llodtham
having been almost instantly killed by
his sister. The particulars are ~ fol.
lows: Mr.. Richard iiodtham, aSell-to-
do farmer. resides about one mile wesi
OF Hillside, his family consisting Of him
self and wife, a son Joseph. aged about
twenty-one years, Mary. aged about
eighteen, aud two younger daughters.
Last evening the father aud mother
were absent from home aud Joseph
started to q spelling school, leaving his
three sisters at home. He promised 10
be home early and, before starting,
warned his sisters t0 bc on their guard
against tramps, a number oi whom had
been infesting the neighborhood for
some time. Mary. who Was n very
courageous girl, said she MAS not afraid,
and the brother departed.
About nine O'clock the dogs con-
menced a furious barking, and Mary,
who had not yet retired, decided to 60
10 the front door Ia ascertain the cause.
Just as she opened the door, she oh-
served man walking toward her with
hat drawn down and his coat collar
turned up, ~ ~ Ia effectuzlly conceal
has face. She called, Joe, Is that you?'
Not receiving any response, she re-
peated the inquiry, and not receiving
reply, she said, "lf that's not you, joe,
hook out" The repeated warning elic.
tied no response, and the girl, seeing the
supposed tramp still advancing, leyeled
q heavily loaded shot gun which she
held in her hand and fired. The shot
struck the man ia the breast, and her
horror may be- imagined when she aaw
him throw up his hands, and almost
shrek, my dear sister" and then iell
~ theHround. She recognized the y0ies
as that of her brother, and rushed out
and pulled him into the house. The
unfortunate young man MAS unable 10
speak. and before the family physician
reached the house, death had ensued.
An examination showed that the en-
tire charge had entered the breas; and
penetrated the lungs II is supposed
that the brother had intended 10 test
the courage of his sister, but il proved .
fatal test. The sister is spoken Of IN q
most estimablc lady, and the terrible
shock which followed the discovery that
she had killed her brother will, Il IL
feared, rnder her hopelessly insane. The
news OF the tragedy spread rapidly from
house a. house. Ia short time the
house was crowded with neighbors
anxious tO render any assistance in
their power.
The terrible results which have tol-
lowed this attempt wiil probably prevent
others from indulging In any inclination
to test the courage Of = female who may
he lett alone In q house.
