Something for the SuperStItIOus.::

One of these curious condolences
which keep alive popular superstition
has excited considerable interest in
Georgia. Everybody who visited the
late Senator fill at his home on Peach
tree street, in: Augusta, remarked the
cedar which stood in tho front yard.
The tree was planted by the Senator
and he took great delight In its rapid
growth and its beauty. During his
sickness a blight fell upon it; in spite
of the gardeners most assiduouS care
The disease spread, and the last sign of
life disappeared with Senator Hill's
death. 1t was recently dug up for re-
moval and found to be de0ayed from
top to root.

A large increase Of business is in

cost, owing mainly to the fact that
with the extension Of Railways, the
cost of transportation is essehing
The Sunday telegraph has a sen
sational dispatch from Madison, to
the effect that there is likely TO

flows:
MADISON, Dec. G.-Those who have
watched the course Of the great rail
road war, in which the St Paul road
1 the Omaha road, two Wisoou-
sin corporations, have been so Bit
terly engaged, predict that the Lee
lslalure is likely TO take up railroad
questions, either relating To the i'm
mediate point at issue between the
two roads, or as to rates for passen-
ger fares aud freight, which, it is
claimed, must be far in excess Of
what they ought to be il the com
panies can knock them down to
almost nothing over large portion
Of their lines aud still run at prof
it, pay dividends on stock that has
been watered a dozen times, and be
claimed az successful aud triumph
ant enterprises. The point is a very
searching e, and is likely to be
thoroughly investigated by the com
ing Legislature. IL is well known
here that the railroad companies ex
pect an encounter, for Col. John G.
Spooner, general solicitor for the
Omaha road, has already established
Winter quarters here, and the ST.
Paul company has also provided for
an efficient lobby force, with head
quarters at the Park hotel II the
companies get into fight between
themselves, it is hard to see how
they are going to hurt each other in
the Legislature. The Omaha road
has earned and received it's land
grant, all except a short distance for
building into Bayfield,, and 50 is Sc
cure from an attack in that quarter,
willie it would hardly endeavor to
procure the passage Of n law prohi-
bition the St. Paul company from
building into it's terri DRY. But the
railroad companies evidently have
business on foot, and are prepared
to do it.
