LEO HUpsoN's HoRsE.-The accident
at the matinee of the Grand Opera
House, St. Louis, during the perform
ance Of the Mazeppa scene by Miss Leo
Hudson. with her trained pony Black
Bess. receives touch of pathos in the
announcement of the severe illness OF
the actress, caused by grief at the death
of the pony. Miss Hudson was pas
sionately attached to her beautiful pet,
which had been her constant companion
for a long time, and which was an un-
commonly intelligent and tractable AMI
NAL 1t was her custom to give Black
Bess a good share OF the care she re-
ouired, and the affection Of the latter
for her mistress was as remarkable as
the perfection wherewith she always
performed her part of the play. AS
soon as the accident occurred Miss
Hudson summoned a veterinary surge
Oh, and every effort was made to save
the life of the pony, but in vain. Miss
Hudson, bruised and lacerated as she
was by her severe fall, never lett her
pet until it was dead, but sat holding
it's head in her arms, talking to it and
soothing its sufferings as she might
have done for human being she loved.
When it died she became almost frantic
with grief Her own injuries had seri,
ously shocked her nerves, but she held
out for more than twelve hours by the
side of her dying pony, utterly refusing
to leave it for the sake Of the rest and
care she herself needed almost as imper-
atiyely as did her poor dumb patient.
When the pony died she was utterly
exhausted with the shock Of herlnjuries
and her loss of sleep, and this, with her
passionate grief, brought on an attack
of the brain fever. in which condition
she lay all day Sunday in her room at
the st. Clair House. She constantly
bemoans the loss of her yet pony, which
was doubtly endeared to her that it was
not only a companion but the means OF
gaining a livelihood. 1t is a case 10
challenge the liveliest sympathy.

and DR.. Isaac Scott, as Surgeon, to ac-
company Mr. Phillips; Messrs. Leopold
Lang and Charles Reiffie as seconds,
and DR. Huard, as surgeon, accompani-
ed Mr.. Bienyenu.
The ground was measured, pegs driv-
ell, and a toss for choice of position and
the word was had, which was won by
the second of Mr. Phillips.
The weapons were duly loaded with
ball, and the principals were placed in
position, Mr.. Du Bertrand then briefly
stated the terms of the cartel, which
stipulated thet the combatants should
stand with their weapons held in such a
manner that the muzzles should be poin-
ting to the ground; that the words
should be: Gentlemen, are you
ready ?" that silence would be inter
preted into consent, when the words,
Fire one, two, three" would be CIV
en-; that they could raise their weapons
and fire after the word sire" and before
the word ''three." The question was
asked: Gentlemen, are you ready I"
Silence gave consent, and the fatal
words Fire one" were given. AT
the word lone" Mr.. Phillips delivered
his fire, and almost simultaneously, but
perceptibly afterward, Mr. Bienvenus
gun was discharged, and he fell dead,
shot through the brain. The word
two was not given, as both parties
had discharged their weapons, and one
lay bleeding, lifeless corpse, the other
standing at his post until permitted TO
retire.
The surgeons hurried TO the fallen
victim, as all their skill was of no avail,
as could readily be seen. The ball en-
tered the right cheek of the dead man,
crushing upward through the brain,
and then ranging downward into the
spinal column. Death must have been
instantaneous.
Bienvenu, the dead duelist, belonged
to the ancient family of that name,
which has for years been identified with
the history of Louisiana. lie was born
in New Orleans, where he continued TO
reside up to the time of his death.

The Kahn Mystery.

The sudden and almost unaccountable
disappearance of Mr.. Isaac Kakn, of this
city, has caused much sorrow to the i'm
mediate relatives and friends of the fam
lily. and enlisted the sympathies of the
entire community
The circumstances of the case, IS we
gather them, are substantially as follows
On Monday. the 18th inst. he went to
Chicago with sixty OF seventy dollars in
his pocket and car load of hogs. His
brother, Abe Kahn, who accompanied
him, returned on Tuesday with the under
standing that Issac would conclude his
business aud return the next day. The
next known of him is that he left Kuhn's
hotel sometime during Wednesday after
noon, to take the train for home. He
was seen at the depot fifteen minutes be
fore leaving time, by Mr.. Eli Metzger and
Mr. f. s. Peck, OF this city, since which
time no clue to his whereabouts can be
found. The only reasonable inference is
that he stepped into one of the dives in
that neighborhood, and, while taking a
drink, was either knocked down or
drugged, robbed and killed. That he is
dead there can be no doubt, after the
lapse Of so long time; and that he has
been most foully murdered is equally GER
tain. This result is deducible for several
reasons: He had large sum of money
on his person, after selling his hogs; he
was man who feared no danger and fe.t
that in his possession the money was as
safe as if deposited in bank.
Under these circumstances it would not
be natural that he would exercise the eau
ton which more prudent man would
deem necessary. Add to this the fact
that upwards Of five thous nd men now
walk the streets of Chicago, unemployed,
the want and desperation consequent upon
such state of affairs and We think we
are justly warranted in coming to the
above conclusion.
Moses Livingston, Mr. Kahn's brother
in law, and Mr.. Abe Kahn visited Chicago
on Monday, but beyond putting the po-
lice at work on the case. nothing could be
ascertained or done. Mr.. Kahn leaves a
wife, but no children, to mourn his IN
timely loss.-South Bend Union.

TRANSMISSOURIANA.


What Babel scattered in Mesopotamia,
prairies unite on the Missouri. Among
the lend buyers of the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad in the first five
months of 1878, the purchasers represent
ed fourteen States and seven foreign ma
tionalities. Had the nativities of previous
purchasers been recorded it is probable
that Representatives would be found not
only of every State in the American
Union, but of every region in Europe. In
other parts of the world where various
races live under one government, each
still abides sundered from the others like
Jews from Samaritans. Thus in Austria
the Hun. Teuton, Bohemian, Tyrolese,
each has his own section and remains
there, isolated from the others, though all
are ruled by the same Emperor. Nothing
but outside pressure preserves such a
union. On the other hand, the settlers
in new American State, say Nebraska,
no matter how diverse their origins and
races, are knit together In one whe,c body
from the outset. A common impulse has
brought them beyond the Missouri.
Their experiences on the way thither,-
their necessities, hopes and aims, have
much in common. They are hence too
much alike not to commingle and cling
to each other with firm cohesion.
One magnet which has thus attracted
congenial elements from many quarters
TO Nebraska is the land-policy of the
Burlington and Missouri River railroad,
disposing of its lands at prices and inter-
est so low, first pay ment so long deferred,
and such other easements that farms can
be made to pay for themselves, besides
supporting the farmers. It seems to out
siders q paradox that men should buy
farms at all in State like Nebraska,
where homesteads are given away to all
who will take them. Yet over three
thousand settlers, after surveying the
whole ground, have already chosen to
purchase of the Burlington Railway there,
rather than to occupy free of charge the
best of all the acres in the public domain.
Still may Nebraska gather in one the
fngitives from the tower of confusion!
