5 About eight O'Clock last evening some
workmeni discovered q dead woman lying
under an oak tree in Forest Lawn Gene
terry. She lay partly on her side, and in
natural position, as if sleeping. She ap-
peared to be about twenty-five years of
age, and was dressed neatly, even elegant
". Her dress was of blue poplin, trimmed
with black at the bottom, over which she
wore black silk basquine. Her hair was
worn in a waterfall, tied with blue ribbon,
and her hat was of-the latest style.' Her
Caiters were of black cloth and apparently
had not been worn more than once; her
stockings were white, and her under cloth :
II, and Ofher garments extremely neat
She wore a breast-pin and earrings, and
-hzL her side lay a parasol and small
reticufe. In her pocket was found white
handkerchief. slightly stained with blood
Coroner Richards was called and caused
the body to be placed in a coffin and con-
veyed to Kraft's dead house, where an in
quest will be held at 2 P. M. to-day. But
I slI1Hs examination of the body was made
vesterday. No marks of violence were
1o6nd 0bon the person. 1t is thought
,ssro<,ah1e mat her death was not the result

The land averages from 40 to 80 bushels
of corn, and about % bushels of wheat to
the acre. No country will produce better
fruits, and the finest wild grapes in the
world now cluster in the ravines along the
water courses. So, too, the wild hop grows
in profusicn; and other sources of wealth
are to be found on every side. o.,
/ believe that in Iowa, as general thing,
no crop is raised the first year, while in
Kansas. the sod crop often pays for the
land. The sod is turned over with the
plow, aud drills being made with an ak,
the corn is dropped in, aud covered with
the foot.
Cattle are raised almost free from cost,
and good cows sell at from $35 to $50a
head. Flour, wheat, corn, and stock OF all
kinds, are shipped to the West. Wamego.
and other railway points, are good cash
markets for all the farmer can produce.
And ten years from to day will find the
beautiful valley OF the Kansas, densely
populated. The persons who may go to
Pottawatamie county, would advise them
to call on L. Brown at WemegO; or p. g..
Baker, j.. N. Limbocker, or r. 5. Hicks
at Louisville, the county seat. Brown Is a
lawyer, and graduated at Kenyon College;
Baker is the County Surveyor; Limbocker
is land agent, and Hicks is an attorney,
and all of them are regarded as reliable
business men. rr -...-..---
But you ask me why have said nothing
of st. Louis, and reply because st. Louis
speaks for herself. She is destined to be-
come the interior metropolis of the Ameri-
can Union, and is now one of the noblest
towns / have ever seen. Chicago is her
great rival, and rival not to be lightly
estimated. for she is driven forward by the
keen intelligence, and the sleepless energy
of New England; but the advantage of To-
cation is with st. Louis, and though Chi
cago will be a great town, she will be sec
ond to her less enterprising sister of Mis-
Souri,. f.- ID. .r.--. f,.r-..a- .., .,
Nor have spoken of the Railroad from
Galveston, via Kansas city, to Chicago, the
Union of the Gulf with the Lakes, and an
enterprise only less grand than that which
is to unite the two great oceans. Indeed,
have scarcely told you anything, for it
would require volume to narrate all that
have heard and seen. Nothing has bet n
said of the pleasurable part of the excur-
sion, tor / write for the benefit of practical
men and not for pleas ure seekers. In one
word, the whole excursion was like enact
ing scene in the Arabian Nights, and
Jno. D. Perry the able and interchangeable
President of the r. Division of the Union
Pacific r. r., was the Aladdin of the party,
He bore the magic lamp, and music, and
fetes, and dancing, and sumptuOns and
fairy like entertainments were improvised
wherever we stopped; and did we not re-
member that lightning messages can be
communicated from st. Louis or New
York, aye or from London, Paris, or St
Petersburg, to the remotest point of the
lovely valley of tbe Kaw, one might be
tempted to believe in magic. " -'ii

widely different. The Americans, almost
ignorant of taxation ten years ago, sud-
denly found themselves involved in a costs
ly war and encumbered with prodigiou-
debt. They accepted an Incredible burden
Of taxation, rendered endurable at first by
an inflated and delicious prosperity. Soon,
however, followed the reaction of
which, besides the evidence con-
veyed in !, these returns, we see
other symptoms in the arrangement of
trade, the quarrels between masters and
men, and the suspension of labor in various
branches of industry. D Probably the re-
turns of an income tax in America would
never be quite so regular as our own. which
are steadied by the conjunction of proper
ty with income, and are exposed to less
violent fluctuations of enterprise and
credit. The statistics, of this year, how
ever, must necessarily be regarded as ex-
ceptional. 1t is year of collapse after in
f1ation, and the wonder is not that the
public income from this source should have
iallen off, but that so immense a revenue
should still be raised. The people of the
contribute fS0O0o,000 to the Treas
ury, besides very heavy payments.
in the shape of State taxation. OF this
sum more than two-thirds is exacted under
the various items of what we term inland
revenue, SO that the pressure upon the
community may De easily Imagined. be-
fore long the Americans will probably find
it advisable to relieve the industry of the
country by some remission of its burdens,
but it really deserves notice that the very
people who were once accused of a tenden-
cy toward Reputation. have made the most
extraordinary efforts ever known to liqui-
date their debt. By this time, however,
they will have learned that, as far as the
public creditor is concerned, it suff1ces that
