MILWAUKEE, Aug. &c, 81.
Mr.. EDITOR i suppose you have no objec-
ton to receiving few jottings of things in NIL
waukee-and first, in typographical point of
view, let me say that the geological explorations
continue to be carried on with undated ardor-
One street has been excavated to the lake, and
the thousand carts which are moving through
the city, from point to point, show, that if perse-
verance can accomplish anything, that the strong
arm of labor will eventually (if the Globe should
not burn up previously complete the work, even
If 1t should not improve the city.
In the next place, let me say that the improve
ments and buildings commenced, and in pro-
gress, are as extensive as in any previous year
The Cathedral, an enormous edfce, still contin-
ues to rear its lofty pile in huge proportions and
architectural beauty. Where the money comes
from, is no secret to those who know Mr.
Young building still progresses-the tall win
dows in the third story have just been set, and
give some faint inkling of the magnificent d.
mansions of the Hall which they are to light
According to the Sentinel, ''Mr. Young intends
TO have the largest and best proportioned Musical
Hall in the West, occupying the whole building
on Wisconsin street, above the second story,
aud being ll6 feet long, 80 feet wide and % feet
/ high in the clear, and without galleries." The
lower story is to be fitted up for stores and
who IS going to use the stores is question for
future solution.
In my rambles about tie city have noticed a
great many houses and stores branded ITO Let
| suppose Milwaukee has seen as hard times
this summer as she ever did and it is to be ho-
ped that the prospect of good crop, which now
looks more favorable than heretofore, will dissi-
pate all cherries approximations, and good fall
business remunerate the laborer for his tolls
Political matters are reaching a criss-who
comes ont top, will be known after election
The Democrats seem to think they have no par
ticular organ, and if they have, should like to
know which paper it is. The Wisconsin has
lately come out for the Fugitive Slave LAVAL
are glad to see it show signs Of virility, howev-
er. The Commercial is struggling with mix
ed load of obnoxious sentiments at home and I'M
mingled contempt from abroad.
The question of who shall be Judge in this
Judicial District has stirred up the citizens some
however as the day Of election approaches you
can almost see the waves of contention subSi1e.
The merits of the candidates have been discus
sed at arge-and the sober second thought of
the people, and an overwhelming vote, will make
Asahel Finch, Jr. Judge in the 2d Judicial Dis
trict OF Wisconsin. This consummaton is de-
voutly wished for other reasons than those which
interest the people of the Second District only.
Whoever is elected Judge here, is one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of the State OF
Wisconsin-and | am confident from what
know Of the people of this District that Levi
ffubbell can no longer disgrace the seat and
name of Judge.
Madame Anna Bishop and suite are exciting
the citizens with their melody and song. Mad
anne Anna is considered by some as rival of
Jenny Lind, had the pleasure of listening tc
her last evening. Sjgnorina Lavima Bandn
plays beautifully on the violin. The other mem.
bers of the troupe assisting in the programme
contribute admirably to the pastime of an hour.
By the way, was little amused at one of the
incidents which come before my vision as ga
zed around the we'll filled Hall in search of some
development OF human nature | was not lone
in finding an object to contemplate. You must
know that some seats in the Hall had been re-
served at two dollars; the common price BEING
one dollar per ticket In one of these reserved
seats saw man enter who used to live at your
place, end whom you posted two or three months
ago, for owing some four or five years for the
Telegraph. This fellow had money enough for
a two dollar seat at the Concert, bat had the
meanness to discor tinue his paper, unpaid, after
taking it four or five years. That is one phase
of human nature.
If any Of your readers have any occasion to
telegraph" this way, let me commend their
notices to Mr.. WELLS, Of Speeds line, he is one
Of those accommodating men who will see that
their business is done satisfactorily to them
selves, and their correspondents.
The America, Sam Ward, and Detroit, are ~
ing in the river to-day, on account of the gale
which is blowing from the East. The wind has
piled the waters into the river so that the cellars
of good many stores are overflowed, and box
es and barrels, and bales of goods are floating
about to the discomfort of their owners in elc-
CANT confusion. Yours,
VIATOR.
