his thanks, and trusted that the destiny OF
Leavenworth might lead upward, like the
flight of the eagle:
Firm on its own mountain vigor relying,
Breasting the dark cloud, the red bolt defying,
With its wing on the wind and its eve on the sun,
1t swerves not hair, but bears onward, right on.
Fifth-''Chicago:" The largest city of
the Great West. Our friendship for the me
tropolis Of the West is as strong as the iron
which connects her with Kansas.
Col. Anthony called upon J. b. Rice,
Esq, the best Mayor Chicago ever had, one
who was certain to lie the next mayor, for
response.
Mr.. Rice arose and spoke of the srea,
pleasure he derived from his visit to this
cit,, and the ride over the railroad winch
passed through four States. He rejoiced at
the union of the earnest men of Chicago with
the earnest men of Kansas, that, as they were
doing to-day, they could in the future lake
each other by the hand, and say, ''God
speed you" In passing over the millions
Of fertile acres untouched by the pillow, his
mind family depicted the scene such coun-
try would present when il came to be filled
with the homes and to laugh with the indus
try Of fair women and brave men. He con-
clnded BY invoking blessings upon every one
living in it.

City Ateorsey's O@ce.
In the Supreme Court. yesterday, Mr.
George S. Lacey, City Attorney, fined, by
preference, thirty cases, in which it is the
interest Of the city to have an early trial.
We understand it is the intention of the
City Attorney to clear the docket of all city
cases a. soon as possible. The briefs in the
thirty cases we're prepared during the sum-
mer months, showing that the assistants
employed in that Office have not been idle.
Drainage.
Under the drainage system now being
carried out, and which promises to redeem
some $4,000 acres within the cooperate
limits Of the city from the domain of an
impossible swamp, there are nine steam
dredge boats and two steam derricks at
work. Four dredges are on the line Cana,
and Levee and one in the City Park, on Or.
leans street; two are in the rear of the park,
near Orleans street, and two IN Mariguy
canal.
In about six months the canal work will
be sufficiently advanced for the use of
draining machinery. If it is not ready at
that time the expenditures ON the canals
will be capital virtually laying idle, and the
machinery should be in course of erection
1T the present time.
If the water wheels Of the Melpomene
draining machine and the Bienville street
draining machine are not erected without
delay the winter and spring rains will over
flow the rear of the city this side of the
Metairie ridge and the gardens of the poor
be again ruined.
The Shell roads.
Both sides of Canal street are now
shelled from one end to the other, and there
is continuous and smooth drive to the
Metairie ridge. Street Superintendent H.
G. Pierson has been untiring in his efforts,
and has completed the shelling along the
Gentilly road from the Fair Grounds to La
harpe street and the drive leading from the
Third District to the Fair Grounds. By the
shellroads will be in a finer condition than
they have for many years. Thanks to the
energy and good management of the Street
