A Mammoth Clothing HOuse.--We are
pleased to see that the wholesale mer-
chants of Milwaukee are receiving at
the hands of the country press, the at
tention which their enterprise, public
spirit, and interest in the welfare of
Wisconsin, entities them to- No class
of merchants in any city are more de
voted to the welfare of the State and
the Northwest, than those of our city,
and none strive harder, by honorable
and fair dealing to give their city an
honorable name. That they have sue
ceeded well, the great increase in trade
over any previous year, which we now
enjoy, and the universal testimony of
country merchants that they are more
fairly dealt with here than in Chicago
or any other city, are ample testimony.
Among the stable Milwaukee houses
which will bear honorable mention Is
the mammoth wholesale clothing eStab-
lishment of L. G.. Hughes Il Co., No.
354 East Water street. These young
men came to Milwaukee two years ago
to embark in business. They possessed
thorough knowledge of the clothing
and furnishing trade, and were the pro-
prietors of one of the largest manufac
turing establishments at the East. Pos
sessing O knowledge of human nature,
and desiring to establish themselves
permanently, they have worked their
way along without noise or vain boast
ing, preferring that their manner of
doing business, and the quality of the
goods which they offered TO the trade,
should be learned by experience rather
than the forcing process--an excellent
way of doing business, when the quali-
fications will permit. -....
During the two years the house of
l.. G.. Hughes, & Co., has been estab-
lshed in this city, their trade has grad
ually and steadily increased, until at
this time it ranks among the first, and
the many compliments they have re-
ceived from those with whom they have
been doing business, encourages them
in the belief that during the present
year its circle can be largely increased.
We are certain they offer the best IN
dueements to dealers.
The clothing and furnishing goods
they offer, are no slop-house manufac-
ture, prepared'to sell, but are of quail
ty which no first class establishment
need be ashamed of. Manufactured I'M
der the personal supervision of mem
Der of the house, and expressly for the
Western market, no pains are spared
to make the stock all it is represented.
1t embraces all articles in the cloth
ing and furnishing goods line.
Country dealers when visiting Mil
waukee will find it an object to visit
this mammoth Clothing House. They
will be pleased with the proprietors,
Messrs. Hughes, & Co., and viii be sat
isfied with the inducements they are pre-
pared to offer to the trade Wisconsin,.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
Remarkable History Of a Torpedo Boat.

Gen. Murry's history of the defence
of Mobile narrates the eventful history
of torpedo boat rs follows:
1t was built of boiler iron, was about
thirty-five feet long, and was manned
by a crew of nine men, eight of whom
| worked the propeller by hand. The
ninth steered the boat and regulated
her movements below the surface of the
water. She could be submerged at
pleasure TO any desired depth, or could
be propelled upon the surface. In
smooth still water her movements were
exactly controlled, and her speed was
about four knots. it was intended that
she should approach any vessel lying at
anchor, pass under her keel, and drag q
floating torpedo, which would explode
on striking the side or bottom of the
ship attacked.
She could remain submerged more
than half an hour without inconven-
ince to the crew.
Soon after her arrival in Charleston,
Lieut., Paine, of the confederate navy,
with eight others, volunteered to at
tack the federal feet with her. While
preparing for their expedition the swell
of passing steamer caused the boat to
sink suddenly, and all hands, except
Lieut.. Paine, who Mt the moment was
standing in the open hatchway, perish
ed. She was soon raised and again
made ready for service. Lieutenant
Paine again volunteered to command
her. 5a While lying near Fort Sumter
she again capsized and sunk in deep
water, drowning all hands except her
commander and two others.
Being again raised and prepared for
action, sir. .Aunley, one of the con-
struetors, made am experimental cruise
in her in Cooper River. While sub
merged at great depth, from some I'M
known. cause, she became unmanagea.
bic and remained for many days on the
bottom of the river with her crew Of
niue dead men.
A fourth time was the boat raised,
and Lieut.. Dixon, of Mobile, of the
Twenty first volunteers, with eight 9TH
ers, went out of Charleston harbor in

steamer Housatonic.

HindOo WIdoWs.-Some Hindoo widows
have consented to take second husband
rather than give themselves to the
flames, although, in one case, lately, the
wife of barber, who, on his death,
declared her intention of not surviving,
steadily refused to listen TO the expostu-
lations of her neighbors, and they at
last yielded TO her importantly, and as
sisted at the brutal ceremony. The
woman sat upon pile OF wood with her
dead husband across her knees, while
faggots were piled up to her shoulders,
and her hair saturated with ghee, con-
tinuing to converse with the bystanders
while her arms were burning, and only
ceasing TO do SO when flame and
smoke choked her utterance.

A physician who was not very familiar with
the symptoms or the remedies for the cholera,
was called in to prescribe for a cobbler who
believed himself suffering from the epidemic.
He told him to take certain remedies, and
called again next day, when he was informed
that Crispin was cured; in fact so well was he,
he had gone to work.
"Indeed," said the doctor, 'that is well; you
see my prescription has answered admirably

Eternity.

Eternity has no gray hairsl'' The
flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows
old and dies; the world lies down in the
sepulchre of ages. buttime writes no wrink-
les on the brow Of eternity.
Eternity! Stupsndous thought! The
ever present. unborn, undecaying--the
endless chain. comprising the life of God
1.-The golden thread, entwining the universe.
Earth hath it's beauties, but Time shrouds
them for the grave; it's honors, they are but
the gilded sepulchres; its possessions are
bat toys of changing fortune; its pleasures
are but bursting bubbles. Not so in the
untried bourne. In the dwelling Of the
Almighty, can come no foOtsIep of decay.
It's day will know no darkning-eternal
splendors forbid the approach of night It's
fountains will never fail, they are fresh
from the eternal throne. It's glory will
never wane, for there is the ever present
God. Its haFmontes.Will never cease; ex-
haustess love supplies the song.

TIE Emperor Of Austria is not satisfied
with the result of the late war. He has
learned no other lesson from his defeat than
that of an uncomfortable hate and an IN
dying desire for revenge. He is already
massing once more his legions. Every man,
almost every child, capable of bearing arms,
is to be taught the art of war, and measures
are being taken to render possible a vast
CONSUMPTION of the entire population of the
Austrian Empire. The logged obstinacy
of the Hapsburgs is as rampant as ever,
and the otherwise eminendy praiseworthy
young Emperor is determined to strike one
more blow for the restoration of his once
mighty empire to her old rank in the coun-
ellis of nations.
