• KANSAS Orris April 10, 1869.
For the first time I have made a stay
of a day or two in this city, and given
it a thorough examination ; and as it bids
. fair, frem the rapidity of its growth in
population, wealth and business, to be
come one of the leading cities of the
great Interior, I propose to devote this
letter exclusively to it.
At this point the'Missouri river comes
down from the north, and the ;Limas
from the west, and united they take their ,
course almost eastward to the Mississippi.
Although thellissouri is by far the greater
stream, yet It looks to one viewing the
whole surroundingscene as if it emptied
. its floods into the Kansas, rather than the
Kansas into it; for the straight, peculiar
and strongly defined valley of the latter
keeps on eastward,: after receiving its
• mighty affluent, just as it did be
fore. Standing on the bluff on
which this .'-city is built, looking
northward, we see the Missouri for & dis
tance of fifteen miles; looking westward
we see the Kansas, which is another Mbi
souri in miniature,-coming down from
the west; looking eastward we see, for six
"or 'seven miles, the Missouri rolling its
turkid flood towards the Mississippi. It
ie a scene of grandeur rather than of
beauty; and the more so because of the
abrupt rectangular course of the greater
stream, after it strikes almost squarely
agai ds nsi the bluff upon which the city
stan.
This bluff is more than a hundred feet
above the river,
bounded on the north by
the river which originally almost washed
its base, and on the north by an extensive
' low plain through which the Kansas
flows, and which is sometimes overflowed
by the floods of the Missouri. On the top
of this bird, which stretches 'off south
ward and eastward on the general level of
- the country, the city is located. For
more than a "mile back from the brow
which overlooks the river, the ground is
broken by more ravines and hillocks than
I ever saw in the same area. In all that
span there is probably not a single reach
of one square in length where a street
runs over the original level of the ground.
Such cutting and lilting are not
to be found in any other city I have
ever seen; for the streets are well graded,
and Whether the cut on the hill be six feet or
sixty; the grade is rigidly. 'adhered to.
In some places we walk between two al
most perpendicular walls of mar/ as- high
as ordinary city houseii; but, for thereat
part, these elevated lots have been cut
down, and carted on others which are
, as much depressed below the grade and
tineblocks of four-story stores stand with
their roofs nearly on a level with the
original surface of adjoining lots which
have not yet been leveled down. It is
very curious to. see these walls of original
earth standing side by side with new walls
of brick, and so close together that an
active man might almost jump from the
top of one to the top of the,other.
It is a peculiar property Sif this earth—
or marl, as Dr. Hayden, the Geologist
employed - by the Government in this
Western region, pronounces it to be—
that it can be cut down to any depth al
most perpendicularly, and in that oil
tion stand for years with very little
ambling. This city is full of such
banks, or rather walls In their faces,
they resemble rocks of a yellowish gray
color; and when they do crumble at all,
it is in vertical columnar fractures. Yet,
after forty feet have been removed, as I
saw myself, a yoke of. oxen can drawa
plow through it turning a heavy furrow.
It is from top to bottom extremely fertile,
as the rich growth of blue grams clover
and shrubbery growing upon it attested.
The levelling of this city plot is atten s
ded with immense labor and cost • but
the work is going on with great rapidity;
and when it shall all be reduced to the
established grades it will be very pretty.
Real estate is quite high. I was shown
lots which, although requiring heavy
rotting, sold lately for $2OO a foot trent,
the depth being 120 feet. Farther south
and east the ground is less broken, and
there handsome residences are muliltpyirig
The brick made here are good for building
and look well, but they will not answer
for sidewalks, as many abortive
attempts to use them for that
imsoose prove. iLimestone wrought
into rectangular slabs are much used, and
make excellent sidewalks. Oak lath, one
by four inches and two by four, laid on
edge, and rea ch ing from foundation to
-curb, are much used, and make pleasant
walks. The carriage ways oft he streets are
macademized thoroughly with a hard but
brittle limestone, found in some of the
deep cuts of the streets, and bro
ken email before they are put in place.
With more sagacity than most of those
who lay out , new cities in this country
seem, to possess, the men who
laid out this city did not make
their streets too wide. They are
about the width of your Wood street.
By so doing they not. only saved
ground, but expense in_griding and pay
mg. In Lawrence and Topeka the streets
are so wide that the people have not yet
been able to macadamize them. Judg
ing from the manner and rate at which
the work of grading and -paving is going
' nu, a stranger would infer, as I do , ' that
the public exchequer is a fat one. Taxes
'mut be high; but as everybody seems
• determined. that this shall be the greit
city of this greatest body of first rate
arable land to be - found in the temper
ate zone, there are probably - but few

It can hardly be said.to be an idle
bout on the" part of the people of this
-city that it is the natural metropolis of
tim most extensive, 'body of extremely
fertile land in the world. The area
whieh they claim as their mercantile do
main is not less than four hundred miles
square, or 160,000 square miles, nearly
four times the area of. Pennsylvania, and
posaessing a productivewer of soil

one city to talk about grasp ing and hold.
ing all the trade of such a - reg Ton; but it
will be enough to be--the chief among
many. = Leavenworth; -however; has-no
idea of yielding to her ambitious rival, and
if she eau succeed in bridging the Mis
souri and hitching on firmly to the great
lines of trade east of that river, before
the scepter departs from her hands, (for
it hee l not yet departed,) she may still
maintain the ascendancy. But you could
not persuade a denizen of Kansas City of
this. The struggle between these two
cities is very sharp and will probably do
them both good.
Kansas City, as most people know, is
in the State of Missouri, directly on the
State line mhere it leaves the river and
follows a due south meridian. Leaven•
worth is a Kansas City, on the west
branch of the Missouri, about thirty
'miles above this city. Both have good
river landings. Each has a population of
about 30,000.
But I have already extended this letter
beyond what I intended, and shall stop
with the mere mention of the fact, which
I forgot in its proper place, that the
bridge over the Missouri at Kansas City
is so far advanced that it is expected that
trains and ordinary travel will pass over
the river during the coming summer.
That will be the Brat bridge across that
great and turbulent. stream. C.
The June Festival in Boston.
The building known as "The Colise
seum " intended for the Musical Peace
Festival in June, is going up in St. James
Square, in Boston. The Traveller says
it will be the largest building in America
under one roof, requiring 1,700,000 feet
of lumber in its construction, and cover
ing between three and four acres of
ground. Its dimensions are 300 by 500
feet. • There will also be used in the work
fifteen tons of nails, and between four
and five tons of other iron work. such as
bolts, braces, &-c. To cover the roof, so
as to make it water proof, thirty tons of
tarred paper will be used. The appez of
the roof is eighty-six feet from top of sill.
At the height of fifty feet there will be
1,800 feet •of continuous window's, five
feet high, all made to run on rollera,.br
ventilation consisting of 6,500 feet of
glass. Ingress and egress are Made safe
and easy by twelve doorways, each twen
ty-four feet wide. The building - will
have a seating capacity for 16,800 spects
tor% and standing room beneath thegal
lery and promenade for an immense num
ber. The height of the roof pagoda , will
be ninetyfeet from the parquette floor;
that of the side walla thirty-five feet sur
mounted by ten feet of perpendicular
glasa the whole circumference. The build
ing will be finished by the 10th of June,
or five days before the beginning of the
Festival,' thus affording ample time for
general reherusala by the band and chorus.
A Rate Presented to the President.
About 1856 an attempt was made to re
store the tone to the old Independence
bell, of Philadelphia, which had been
cracked by a singular coincidence while
ringing a Fourth of July morning peal.
It was thought that •by cutting away a
small portion of the metal on either side
of the crack, so that the two sides would
not come in contact, the tone might be
redtored, but the experiment failed, as it
was found that the crack extended into
the crown of the bell. The fillings were,
however, carefully saved and made into
-several forms to be ;resented as relies..
A ring with a signet setting made of this
precious metal was worn by the late John
Minor Botts, •of Virginia. That gentle
man, prior to his Leath, requested that
this ring, which he had worn, should be
given to Gen. Grant,,whom he considered
the most fit recipient of the relic, and on
Wednesday last, John F. Lewis, of !lock
ingham county, Va., his administrator,
presented the ring to• the President in
compliance with the request of Mr. Botts.
If we mistake not, we have observed
upon. Gen. Grant's watch guard one of
the very few miniature bells made from
the same metal.— Wash. Rep.-
The Memory of Llncoyi In France.
There was recently held in Paris a
meeting to commemorate the memory of
Abraham Lincoln. After Professor La
botdaye came Kr. Cochin, the principal
orator. He traced the life of Lincoln
from his boyhood up to his death, and
held him up as a model of a patriot,
statesman and Christian man. He
quoted from his speeches and writings to
show that he was a great political thinker,
and that his ideas were of that class of el
ementary ideas on which great govern
ments may be built and great deeds ac
complished. •
If you have not yet awakened to the
fact in America, says a Paris letter, you
will do so soon, that Lincoln is hereafter
to a stand as one of the great land marks
in history. If you do not comprehend
the immensity of the rode he played in the
political progress , of manhood, these peo-
tole do. While you are still embarrassed
with certain crudities in his chamfer,
these people see nothing but his grandeur
and desire to seenothing more.
- Insurance in Ohle.
• Some idea of the magnitude of the bu
siness done in the State of Ohio by in
surance companies incorporated by other
States, may be derived from the informa
tion collected by the Auditor of that State,
and soon to appear in hie annual report,
showing that the aggregate amount of
property insured in 'Ale by foreign com
panies, in 1868, was 1127,622,122 46;
that the premiums received upon the sane
emanate(' to $1,658;258.95, and that the
losses paid upon the same amounted to
$710,185 08, showing a gain on the bu
siness in this State of $985,120 9i,, sr
about filly-ieven per cent. on the amount
of premiums received.. This fact should
arouse the attention of oar own under
writers to renewed exertions ,to more
ibily compete with 'those engaged in the
llame'llne of business from - ether States.

day says: We heard yesterday, that the
boilers in the sever al iron mills in the city
quit work on Wednesday nignt, and re
fused to resume yesterday morning with.:
out an advance of wages. We were told
that one dollar per ton additional to the
price Paid lest year Rat demanded,.
