If we are to have n new depot the Louisville and Nashville must build It. Tills prosperous road, which, among other evidences of its healthful condi tion, has recently raised the wages of Its employes, could well ufford to moke this Investment, whieh, of course, would be charged off the annual rental due the lessees. Other roads running into the sta tion would, of course, pay for the use of the tracks. This is an easy plan. The railroad which should put it Into execution is amply able to do so. and the necessity f£r the improvement is great and grow ing. It is an old question. The peo ple have been demanding a new depot for years. It la a just demand, and they will never be satisfied until a new and adequate railroad station has been numbered among Augusta's improve *“eßU - - r . - , hit;- t WtWm Hi fil WFW9 rtgauM » m f*.

They are called the Twin Cities, but (heir only affinity is geographical, and not much of that. Their only parallel In the hlatory of twlnship la the esse of Remus and Romulus, who fell out and fought because one made fun of the municipal enterprise of the other. These twins have been fighting and funning with one another, each trying like Romulua to jump over the city walls of his brother, aud they will probably continue until time and ten n.lles of Improved real estate have healed the breach. Eor my part, I prefer St. Paul—ex cept when I am in Minneapolis. Among the many things which come between them may be mentioned St Anthony’s fnllß. Of course you know the story of the steadfast old saint, and his temptatjon. It mu a queer idea to name a fall for him. And then, there are the falls of Min nehaha—dear little Laughing Water, whose adventures used to trickle through the Friday recitations in the old days, the school days, the high old days of school. "Hiawatha's wooing” must have been pretty warm, for Min nehaha —strange as it may seem for a woman—has almost dried up, and the laughing water has died down to a titter. But to render unto Minneapolis the things which are Minneapolitan, she has some homes where hospitality yields precedence to nothing except the Ten Commandments, broad streets and beautiful parks, and a public library with which St. Paul, as h« gracefully confesses, cannot even compete.

This was a Sabbatarian section. When you get there you cry. like Yoriek's starling. “I ran t get out.” There was not one cheerful functionary who would offer any hope of my get ting back to the trunk lines. No, there was one. St. Paul was only 600 miles away, and the trains running in that direction positively went through like a well lobbeyed appropriation. “No doubt?” . "No doubt.” Very well. And on the following Sunday morn ing I found myself tied up on the bor derland of Illinois and lowa—where the bars run and the cars stop in ob servance of the Sabbath. Italy is said by the wegs to have been built after designs by Michael Angelo. Black Hawk was the architect of Rock Island. They show you his monument, on which the tomahawk and calumet lie down together, and the crowds assemble on sultry after noons at the top of a lofty peak known as his Water Tower, from which the famous old chief used to look out upon Ihe expansive pano rama spread out before him. Tbe world lies at your feet, and the view Is vast and wonderful. But— “ Beyond the Alps ties Italy.” That is to say, St. Paul. CHARLES J. BAYNE.
