Madrid recently feted two of her most
popular citizens. One is an opera singer
and the other Is bull killer Sixteen
years ago Gayarre used to get four francs
night for singing at a well known little
music hall in the capital. Now he has
just signed an engagement TO sing fifty
nights at the opera, for which he is to re-
ceive $50, 600 francs. But one is accus-
toned to the ups and downs of operate
life.
The great bull fighters experiences are
more interesting. To the lasting sorrow
of the Madrid public the great Don Luis
Mazzantini is on his way to Havana. A
banquet was given to him the night before
he started. Two hundred guests assisted,
and the tOasts, the uproarious cheers and
the pathetic adieu made the scene almost
without parallel. The great man-who q
couple Of years ago was a small station
master with salary of "a los q month
is consoled in his grief at leaving the scene
OF his triumphs. He takes with him in
ready money 80, 900 francs, a payment on
account by his impresario of the l50, 900
francs which he is to receive when he ha :,
carried out his share Of the contract He
is to cross the ocean TO take part in eight
bull fights and to kill minimum of sixty
four animals. To add TO the charm Of the
performances and to guard against all
possibility of miscarriage Don Luis takes
his victims with him. Sixty-four bulls
were put on board the steamer at Cadiz
amid the cheers OF an excited populace.

of passing events as they took the protfered
seats, accepting them in silence and with
aggravating indiiiSrenceS. OF the hTSt
class twenty were brunetteS; of the second
twelve were of like complexion, while IN
the last division only seventeen were bru-
nettes. The observer argues that this
proves more evident refinement and inher-

fairer sister. She also observed that tall

Mrs. Elizabeth H. Foos, wife of Gus
tavuS S. Foos, by Gee. c. Rawlins and Ha-
gan II Hsgan. her attorneys. filed peti-
ton Saturday afternoon, in common pleas
court. against the city of Springfield. The
petition is a very lengthy document, and is
divided into causes for action.
The case is one that has been up before
council for a number of weeks past, on a
claim for damages presented and argued by
the counsel for plaintiff in open council.
The matter was referred 10 a committee,
and an attempt made to compromise the
matter but nothing seems to have come OF
it, and the matter now comes up in court in
this form. The property claimed to be
domaged is the FOos homestead just east of
the High street bridge, and an the north
side OF the street.
The First Cause of Action" is for S6GO
damages for apprOpriating wedge-shaped
piece of ground for the purpose of widening
High street. extending from the bridge 10
feet along the front Of the property, seven
feet wide at the bridge and tapering to a
point; 500 is for the loss of the ground and

appropriation of the ground by defendant is
claimed 10 have occurred December Is,
1882.
The Second Cause of Action" is for
-. 800 damage, claimed to have been sus-
tanned by reason of the grade of High street
being raised at the same time to make
proper approach to the bridge then being
constructed. The grade was raised six feet
at the bridge and extended back about 40
feet. The claims for damage are based on
destruction of trees, drives, lawn and other
improvements, damage to out-buildings,
otc., necessity for filling lot, and building
larger. heavier and more expensive retain
ing walls on the side next to the railroad,
etc. The petition closes as follows:
