Mlwaukee, Wisconsin,
JuHe ii, 1854.
Here / am in what was considered, a
lew years ago, far off Wisconsin but rail
roads have brought the far West and the
far East into close proximity, comparative
ly speaking. On my way West | stopped
a few hours in Syracuse, and had the pleas
urc of meeting some old friends our friend
L. took me about the city, aud thus gave
me all opportunity to see it to exc client adj
vantage. II is a hourishing and beautiful
ly located place, and is destined to become
a large city.
stopped at Niagara Falls, and found
that The village had very much improved
and increased in size since | was there;
they have several excellent hotels, and
there are large numbers of visitors there
| made n rapid run from Buffalo to this
place, proceeding up Lake Erie by steamer
20 Detroit, and from thence to Chicago by
the Michigan Central Rail Road. This is
a fine Road and is admirably conducted
chicago has outgrown itself since | was
last there, in 1877 then it numbered about.
i2,OOO,-it now has u population of over
10000. From Chicago | came to MiIwau-
kee by steamer we had a delightful time,
as tar as weather was concerned. Lake
Michigan was as smooth as glass, and the
sky was clear and bright. The boats on
the Lake are substantially built, and very
safe but they are dirty beyond endurance,
and to-day we had a cargo of passengers
who looked as if they might be bound for
Nebraska, or some other unciyilized place
far beyond. ] really do not think that therc
were ten decent looking passengers; and
where so many odd specimens of humanity
came from, OF whittier they were going, is
more than | can tell. The meals on board
the bat were execrable to the last degree
hardly ft for hogs,-and yet, this line of
boats is the best on the Lake.
Milwaukee has improved very much since
was here; but | have not had an opporiu-
nifty to look at it yet,-whcn | do, | will
write down my iInpressions.-I leave for
the capitol of the State Tomorrow morning.

The BLIND BALLor.-We predicted that
in spite of all the talk about the nece ssity
Of the bind ballot to the independence of
the suffrage, the people would not use the
envelopes unless they were obliged to-
In this city, at the municipal election, the
organ Of the Democratic party urged its
friends to use it, and as a matter OF party
pride many Of them did so. But in North
Providence, at the recent election to fill a
vacancy in the House Of Representatives,
not a single envelope was used. Not an
%elcctor, Wing, Democrat or Free Soiler,
adopted the clumsy, inconvenient and
sncaking mode OF voting, which the Post
has told us was so indispensable and so
much in harmony with our institutions
We infer that nobody in North Providence
is afraid OF ashamed to vote as he wants TO.

The First Exhibition Of The Domestic and
horticultural Societies.-The novelty of
this exhibition will attract large crowds to
the city next week, and from what we
learn of the interest taken in the horse
show by owners of these animals, both in
this State and other places, and limitations
from fruit growers and gardners, no sum
mer exhibition of the combined societies
ever presented so much attraction, and we
are confident our citizens and visitors from
surrounding towns will find no cause to
complain that everything practicable has
been done for their qualification and
amuscmcnt.-Pror Jour.

An Incident at PuIasxi'S Hcad-qua
teFS, during the Revolution.

On the night before the battle of Brandywine,
was sent with message from Gen. Greene to
Count Pulaski, noble Polander, who took a
prominent part in our struggle for freedom. He
was quartered in neat farm house near the upper
fords. After our business was finished, the Count
asked me to take some refreshments, and at the
same time he called out, "Mary, my lass, Maryr
In an instant a rosy-cheeked girl entered, her
face beaming with joy,l 1t would seem, from the
very sound of Pulaski's voice. ... .u
"Did you call me, Count?" ..t -.
SHOW often have told you, my little love, he
said his tall form bending to kiss her cheek ''not
to call me Count. Call me your dear Pulaski.
This is republic, my little favorite. We have
no Counts here, you know" Iced. ...-s
"But you are Count at home, and they say you
come long way over the ocean to fight for u.s.
eyes, yes, Mary, very true; did come long
way over, but one reason was, had to in meas
ure. Now can't you get this gentleman and my
self little refreshment, as he has long way to
ride tonight" .#t #a
"Certainly, sir" and she went out of the room
like fairy. .
GA fine little peasant girl" said Pulaski. Would
that had the wealth l once had. would give
her fortune that would send all the youths here
about after her sweet face" ra5 Haa
The girl soon returned with part of fine
broiled ham, some delicious fresh rye bread, and
butter, and few little pickles, which relished
exceedingly. After refreshing myself to my sat
lsfaction, took my departure, and rode speedily
back to the main camp
On the morning of the llth of September, 1777,
the British army advanced in full force to Chodds

and bringing on an action with Washington. Sir
