A LION ON HORSEBACK.
Description of the Performance of the
Young Sc Prince Leo"


Young Prince Leo.'
Speaking of one of the sensations of the
holidays, the ffteen-months-old horseback
lion, the Pal MaH Gazette says l was in
troduced to him at rehearsal which took
place in the arena of the Opera House
yesterday afternoon. 1t was his debut in
the English sawdust, and he thoroughly
enjoyed himself Do not, tender reader,
imagine that Prince Leo Is let loose in the
ring. No. He is young and playful now,
but some day he might take it into his
handsome head TO make a leap into the
stalls and make off with a plump morsel
which was never intended for butchers
meat before measures could be taken to
stop him. A circular cage is run up in
the ring with coroneted top piece, which
is let down from the upper regions as lid.
A pretty little white horse with a lovely
white tail, with pad on his back and an
arrangement of armor on his name, is trot-
ting round the ring.
All is ready, and a gang of men wheel
up gorgeous den to the door of the cage.
Out bounds the lovely young lion, SPLEEN
did young beast in admirable condition,
roaring and gnashing his teeth, rolling his
eyes and whirling his tail around. / take
it that these signs denoted his pleasure at
greeting his old friend, the white horse
with flowing tail. Before the lion had
got well out he was followed by a splendid
Russian boar-hound, which lives with him
in perfect amity. The trainer is a Ger
man, short, well-built little man, with a
pair of fine mustachois. He is armed with
whip only, and Immediately orders the
lion to take his place on a wooden pedes-
tai about five feet high, which he does
with a pleasurable placidity. Then the
performance begins. After showing his
obedience to his master with lust snarl
and growl or two to mark time, he is or
dered to leap from his pedestal on to the
horses back, feat which he aeccomplishes
with ease and grace. The horse then can
tiers around the ring, the dog following,
and the trainer in the center with his eve
always on the lion. The horse is small
one, not much bigger than pony, in fact,
and it is quite wonderful how easy ne
takes to his rider, who scales sixteen stone.
A platform is then fixed up high enough
for the horse to pass under. Prince
Leo mounts and jumps from the horses
back onto the platform 1t is very COM
ical to see the Prince erouching on the
platform with his head bent down to watch
the approach of the horse. He repeated
this fea. several times without a hitch,
and with grace which made the perform
ance not only wonderful but pleasant to
watch Virtue is rewarded with lump
of meat Next comes race. The horse,
the dog and the lion tear around the ring,
taking a hurdle on the way with great
pleasure, though Prince opened his mighty
jaws and roared in tones which made me
glad of the iron barrier. For the last act
the lion jumped onto the platform and
fired pistol. A lump of meat dangled
from a string attached to the trigger, and
that was how it was DONE The lion, by
the way, comes from Hamburg, and is the
property of Hakenbach, the famous ami
NAL dealer.

DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE.
Jefferson Davis Idea OF the Citizens
Duty to the State.

Jefferson Davis Idea OF the Citizens
Duty to the State.
At the call of their States, the people
of the South, with unexampled unanimity,
volunteered to defend their hearths, their
affairs, and their inalienable rights. Gray
haired sires and beardless sons were in the
same ranks; but preparation had not been
made to arm and equip them, and they
had little more than their brave breasts to
offer for defense against threatened inva-
sion. Vainly had the South relied on the
Constitution as a shield; it was crushed
bv the mailed hand of factious majority
the evil which Mr.. Madison, in the
tenth number of The Federalist, described
as that which had covered with approbium
federation as a form Of government. l
make no excusatory plea that the men
Thought they were right" when, at the
call of their sovereign State, they staked
all save honor in defense of the rights
their fathers left them. If they were not
right, then patriotism is an empty name,
and he who looks death in the face under
Its sacred inspiration may be traitor. II
it be treason for citizen to defend the
State under whose protection he lives,
even against the Federal Government, the
Constitution has placed him in the cruel
dilemma of being, in the event Of conflict
between the State and the United States,
necessarily compelled TO commit treason
against one or the other. This surely can
not be the condition to which our fathers
reduced us when they entered into the
compact of union. Allegiance is every
whore dine to the sovereign only. That
sovereign, under the American system,
is the People-the People of the State to
which the individual belongs, the People
who constitute the State government,
which he obeys; the People who alone, as
far as he is concerned, ordained and estab-
lished the Federal Constitution; the Peo-
pie who never delegated their sovereignty,
and therefore retain the power to revoke
agencies created by them.-Jesersoa Darts

STRUCK By LIGHTNING.
A Casualty Of Saturdays Storm In
Cache County.

A sad casualty occurred at Ben
son, Cache County, Mt one O'Clock
on Saturday last. During the pre-
valence Of a storm a young woman
named Baker, aged about Is years,
was walking across n field in the
vicinity Of the settlement, holding
an umbrella to protect her from the
rain. Heavy thunder and vivid
lightning were prominent features
Of the storm. The young woman
was struck by the electric fluid, the
current passing from the back OF
her head down her back
and right leg, burning her
clothing, tearing her shoe TO shreds
and injuring her terribly. She was
Instantly stricken to the ground in
a condition Of insensibility. Fortu
nately some persons who were neal
haslened to her assistance and car
ried her TO n neighboring house.
She subsequently recovered a degree
Of consciousness, but her body APP
peared to be convulsed rs result OF
the terrible shock she received. We
have not learned the extent Of the
injuries sustained nor whether they
were likely 10 terminate fatally.

Mr.. PARKER REMOVED.
His Successor VIII he s. W.
Eccles.

To-Day the announcement cams
that Mr.. J. V. Parker, Of the Union
Pacific office, In this city, had beer
requested to resign his position q
assistant freight and passenger agent
Of the Utah division. r-
The statement caused considerable,
surprise, for it WIS geberally be
lieved that he would not be dis
tur5ed, unless Ii should be TO pro
mote him to the office made vacant
by the death OF Mr.. Cope.
The reason given in the letter re.
questing Mr.. Parker's resignation
sounds rather peculiar, and probably
would never have beeh assigned Il
Messrs. Adams, Holcomb and Mel.
len, who have the arranging Of such
matters, had been properly informed
regarding the situation here.
1t is stated that the change 1.
made because there is so much
feeling against Mr.. Parker, grew.
ing cut Of fine recent political
contest in Salt Lake. The will be
news to people here. 1t is no,
known tis>. Mr.. Parker did any.
thing at all in political affairs, one
way or the other. He probably
voted for the ticket that suited him
best, il he voted at all, and that was
the whole Of il,
1t is stated In The letter that ef.
forts have been made by the '.Mor-
mono PARTY TO have a successor sp-
pointed 10 Mr.. Cope, and that that
exhibited feeling adverse to Mr..
Parker. This Is incorrect. The
''MoTmOnso never made any such
effort. IL was a matter In which
they took no active interest,
and so far as was known
Of Mr.. Parker, BE had attended
to his legitimate business. II
may be that some gentlemen he.
longing to- either party had ex.
pressed their preference in the mat.
ter Of Mr.. Cope's successor, hut Il
so, it was their private view, and
not the expression of any PARTY.
In the tight of the facts in the
case II would seem that the reason
assigned for the change, if it he
the true one, does Mr.. Parker an
injustice. The letter 10 him ex.
presses the highest regard for hi:
business qualities, and that
being the case, it seems strange
that a summary dismissal should
occur instead Of transfer to some
other locality, if a change wa.
wanted at this particular point
Mr.. Parker was asked IL he knew
who his successor would be, but he
declined to give any informa
ton on this subject. Ii wa.
learned from an authentic source
however, that the new incumbent
would be Mr. 5. w. Eccles, who i:
well and favorably known TO mos
of our business men. He cams
here first in 1855, as general freight
and passenger agent Of the u. & r
CIV, when that line was built. By
his keen business energy he CAV,
the new road a boom. and wher
later, changes were made in tn,
personnel ofthe D.&R.G.W. officials
Mr.. Eccles went out and was Civ
en- n position with the Union Pacifi,
at San Francisco. He is probably
rs capable a man as the company
has for the position. 1t Is under
stood that the Office Of assistant will
he abolished, and that the whole
business will be conducted by him
alone. He is TO assume his new du
ties on June lst.

HE WAS PRETTY SICK,
But He Had Strength Enough 10
Get Away.

Gustave Eckman has departed.
1t is probable that the police care
but little, for they would as soon
hear Of his safe arrival in some
other part of the country, as to
again undertake TO guard him here.
There is one, however, who
mourns his departure, and that is
fellow inmate in the hospital,
who had a better suit Of clothes than
Eckman's, but has them not now.
Eckman is a Frenchman, though
his name does not indicate 1t. He
was convicted ofstealing a valise and
got term of $50 days in Jail. That
was ten days ago. The next heard
of him was when he made a break
10 get away from the chain gang.
He was captured by some workmen,
and was brutality beaten over the
head by a guard named McGill.
Then he was taken 10 the hospital ,
and the doctor had doubts as TO
whether he could recover from his
injuries.
On Saturday, however, the doctor
reported that all danger was passed,
and that, while the frenchman was
still in a serious condition, no I'M
easiness need be felt for the out
come.
This news was communicated TO
Eckman, who was highly elated,
ard he seemed to improve more
rapidly than before. Justice Laney
saw him, and suggested that il
would be well 10 keep an eye on
him, as though weak, he would take
desperate chances to get away. But
the officer laughingly said that he
couldn't walk OIL.
But the Frenchman disappointed
his guards. Scarcely able to get
about, and then with danger Of seri.
Gus results, he watched his opportu-
nifty. He slept at the hospital last
night, but tnis morning he could
not be found. His suit Of clothes
was at hand, however, and it ap-
peared that he had purposely lefi
them. An inquiry revealed the
fact that he had not gone unclothed,
but had taken a better silt from
another patient in the hospital. and
early this morning had departed
for an unknown location, which, M
to the present time, has not been
ascertained by the officers.
