ORR "TRIP TO MILWACKEE.-On last
Tuesday duty called us to Milwaukee.
We went down on our favorite boat. the
Manito,ooc, where We found her noble
Captain, Mr.. Sweeney. and the faithful
and wide-awake Clerk, Henry Patz, at
their posts, as usual The boat was not
crowded, as is generally the case; the
weather was clear and pleasant, and the
boat gliding along as fast as one could
wish. so that we really enjoyed the trip
to cur hearts content
We finished our business Thursday
noon, and accepted the invitation of a
friend to take dinner with him at the
Ncwhall House and such dinner
whew our mouth waters still, when we
think of it; language fails to describe it
it must be tasted, enjoyed to form an
idea. To satisfy our curiosity we made
Il minute of the different viands offered
which are as follows: Two kinds of
soup, two of fish, five of boiled meat, FIVE
OF roasts, five of cold dishes, eight kinds
OF side dishes, eleven kinds of relisbcs.
ten kinds Of vegetables. seven kinds Of
pastcry, seven kinds of dessert, and as
good cup of coffee as our own wife can
make, anu she certainly can not be sur
passed. And then the wine! Well. we
may as we'll confess that we had to taste
some with our friend, and also that we
used to be good judge in that line, and
we can assure our friends that we tasted
the genuine juice of the grape, and look
ing at the price list we found the prices
as reasonable as they can be bought in
the best establishments. And then Can.
tain Jake, who seemed. like Bosco in all
plans at once with his little army of tidv
attentive waitcresses. Well, reader. oo
and satisfy yourself We only want to
add that our friend took us all over tbo
immense building, where everything an
pcared just as it ought to. All the fur-
nlture, carpets, curtains, bedding, &C.,
looked neat, and of the best quality
Ihen the bathrooms, and above all. that
tonsorial establishment of Mcssrs Gntz
u Co., where you get your hair brushed
by steam, and shaved only one way, and
that Is the neatest and smoothest way
we ever witnessed We might fill little
volume if we would 60 into detail, On the
advantages Offered at the Newhall, but
have not the space. We congratulate
the citizens of Milwaukee in having such
landlord as Chas. Andrews, ESQ.,, and
such accommodations as are found at the
Newhall House in Milwaukee.
Walking down East Water street we
met an old friend whose acquaintance we
first made in Detroit over thirty years
ago. He was then poor book binder :;
now he is retired banker Reaching
the Goodrich Dock, Gregg Hurson shook
hands with US in his old kind way; took
us Oh board the steamer She5oYq0n, and
introduced US to Captain Stannara, and
his Adonis Of Clerk Thompson.
We found them both perfect gentlemen,
attentive and kind officers, fully worthy
of the command OF such a floating palace
as their steamer really is. We soon retired
to our gorgeously fitted up stateroom, and
found ourself, in the morning, safe and
sound at frien Johnston per at old
Manitowoc. TO the friends we met on
this pleasant trip we tender our sincere
thanks for the many evidences of kind
feeling, and would advise our readers to
go over this route for trip that they
cannot help but enjoy.
