Horse Falls 81 the I.evenworth
Bridgc-An EiGhty Feet Plunge
into the Missouri River.
From q gentleman who came
from the other side of the river,
yesterday evening, we learn the
following particulars Of a very ex
traordinary accident, which hap
pened at the Levenworth bridge,
over the Missouri, yesterday even
ing at about 8 o'clock:
Two men, mounted on Mexican
ponies, were crossing from the
Kansas side to the Missouri. Their
names are Mason and Albertson,
and they live near Waterloo, Black
Hawk county Iowa. They had
been out in Southwestern Kansas
trading in cattle, and were on their
way home. When about half way
across the channel span of the
bridge, one Of the ponies became
frightened at piece of white pa
per, q few steps in front of him,
and in attempting to turn round to
run from it he backed against the
guard rail, and got one of his hind
legs through between the railing
and the bridge. This threw the
animal down, and in his struggles
to regain his footing he got his
other hind leg through. The men
did all in their power to save him,
and the pony struggled as for life,
but every motion he made only hur-
ried him to his fate, and in less
time than it takes to tell it he was
gone, plunging from the floor of
the great bridge, down more than
eighty feet, into the turbulent river
beneath.
The operation was performed so
suddedly that the men were Devil
dered-it was not more than a
minute from the time the animal
took fright till they saw him plunge
into the river. They stood motion
less, watching the place where he
went down, and expecting every
moment to see his dead body float
ing away. But the poney had no
idea of giving up SO. He came to
: the surface in a few moments, some
thirty feet below where he went
down, and after giving a Vigorous
snort, and turning around once OF
twice. he seemed to take in the
whole situation, and struck out
bravely for the Missouri shore,
effecting landing about $50 yards
below the bridge.
The ponies were not saddled,
but instead had blankets fastened
on with girths, to which stirrups
were attached, AMI the animal that
went overheard came out with al
his rigging intact. The men went
on across to the Missouri side, anc
as soon as they got grade the one
that was mounted rode dowr
through the woods, caught thu
other pony and brought him ny
to the road. Except few bruises
which he got in his struggles t.
get up, the animal did not seem t.
| be in any wise the worse for hi
big dive; the owner, after few
congratulatory EXPLANATIONS, re
sumed his seat and the quartet
moved on toward Beverly.-Leaven

Entertaining angels Unawares.

The Emporia News is inclined to
think that the experience of this
year will prove a blessing in dis
guise to Kansas. Our people, it
says, need to learn one great les
son: That they who will not work
shall not eat. Hitherto. says the
News. there has been but little hard
work among us. Having learned
that mighty mean men get Office
here" we have all turned politi-
clans; we have striven to grow
rich out of impossible town sites,
paper railroads, and all sorts of
moon struck speculations. We have
mortgaged the resources of the
future by an utter reckless incur
ring of public and private debt. We
have spent that which we have not
earned; and the ghost of public and
private bankruptcy stares us in the
face. Investment in land" has
been the universal receipt for grow
ing rich; not to make the land pro
ductive by skilled labor, but that it
might rise in value through the Ia
Dor OF others upon adjacent estates.
We fancied that this bubble of spec
ulation would expand and initiate
forever. But an angela legion Of
angles-have come to prick the
bubble. It has vanished into thin
air. Blessed be the grasshopper
if he has taught our people the
true road to comfort and solvency
The News concludes:
''This is better time than thu
country has ever seen for live
working men to locate in Kansas
Real estate is down to hard pan
Legitimate industry has at last al

We have the best country for liv'
stock in America, and one of tn

and thorough. But it contain
abundant clements of wealth. w
ought to yearly export an immens
product of beef, wool, flour an

covered with live stock. Let us d

The great Usage cedar Land case of
Kansas has been decided by the Cir
cult Court of tho United States at
Davenport, Iowa. The land in con-
troversy was claimed by certain rail-
road companies under grants from
Congress. The amount in dispute
was about l 600, 900 acres. and the dis
puted tract is so by 30 miles in extent,
embracing the counties of Neosho and
Labettee, and part of the counties OF
Bourbon, Crawford, Allen, Wilson,
and Montgomery, in Kansas, and up
on which, claiming adverse to the
railroad companies, are over thirty
thousand people. The Court decided
against the railroad companies, hold
ing that they have no title, and set
ting aside their patent issue by the
Interior Department. The Court
decides that when a patent for lands
has been issued contrary to law, the
United States may file bill in equity
to cancel it. 1t also decides that the
lands in question, having been reserv-
ed in treaty occupied by them at
the date of the railroad grant of pub
lie lands, were not public lands of the
United Stated within the meaning Of
the granting clause, they were except
cd out of this grant by the words that
the grant served by the United States
tor any other use or purpose.

THE PALLADIUM.
WEDNESDAY. OCT. IA, 1874.
sineersin Italy.

Anna Brewster, writing from
Rome to the Philadelphia Evening
bulleten, Gays: 1.-THE salaries are
published OF the singers engaged
for the coming carnaval and Lent
season ct the Apollo Opera House,
and which expense the municipality
bears. Mime. Stoltz, the prima
donna, is to receive 5000 frances
for the season; Nine. Urziach, also
q prima donna, $4,000; Mime. Con-
tarini, 1900: Nine. Sainz, 5000;
Nine Bracciolini, 1000. The men
receive: First tenor-Niccolini,
$4,000; Masini, $1,000; Lefranc,
$4,000. Observation-Disclosures, 35,-
600; Bertolasi, 10000. The three
bassos receive each 10000 frances.
These salaries amount to nearly
$4,000 frances $7O,00O]. To
these must be added the salaries of
the orchestra. the ballet dancers,
ect, ect. Thus you see the opera
in Rome is q costly affair. This
winter the character of the singers
is exceptional, and q better season
is promised. There is one curious
thing to be noticed in this list Of
singers; six out of thirteen are
foreigners-Stolz is Austrian; Urzi
ach, Hungarian: Sainz. German
Niccolini, Lefranc, and Castelmary,
French. Formerly Italy supplied
singers to all Europe; now she has
to import her best singers. So
the world changes. Italyis becom
ing q commercial nation, and il
paying less attention to the lux
uries of existance. The petty
courts cultivated singers in olden
times.

It is q fiction pleasing to most
people to exaggerate the wealth Of
men known to be rich. The taxes
of the Astors, paid in New York,
Friday, amounted to $259, O57 .S3.
This is believed to. represent an
assessed valuation of about $12,-
600, 900, and the assessed value is
usually about two thirds OF the real
values. Upon this basis we find
the Astors paying taxes on about
$18.0OO,O0O. But for some inscru
table reason the assessment upon
the Astors' real estate ia said TO be
only one third it's value, and SO we
have the real estate alone worth
about $36, 10000 This, however,
does not touch the bottom of the
matter, for there is said to be as
much more, the taxes upon which
are, paid by lesses. Thus we have
the snug little sum of $4,000, 900
for real estate alone, and how much
, deeper the plummet would sink in
the great sea of wealth, after strik-
ing the personal property, may be
only left to conjecture.-Brooklyn

Terrible excitement by the appearance of a mad
dog, which created considerable havoc, The n rst
proceeding OF the rabid animal was to bite son
0i Chas Ray, aged sixteen years, living at No. SlI
East Fifth street. The dog then bit a horse and
five or six other dogs when his destructive career
was suddenly cut short by we'll directed shot
from revolver In the hands of officer Bradford

The boy Ray, on being bitten, immed lately call

ihe wounds inflicted by the dogs teeth were in
