Our promise made long ago, Of friel

Our promise made long ago, Of a friend
ly visit to Milwaukee, was realised this
week. We left home Saturday night in
the good steamer Manitolcoc and found
ourselves latter pleasant dreams in one
of her beautifully furnished and most
| comfortable state-rooms) at the place Of
our destination, early the next morning.
The splendid tonsorial establishment of
friend Goetz, at the Newhall, was, Of
course, our first destination. There We
were taken in charge, and at the end OF
the process, felt and almost looked con
siderably improved The day was very
pleasantly passed at church and in com
pany with dear friends On Monday
we visited other family relations, aud our
business friends. Calling at Niedecken' 5
we met our young friend Edward radiant
with happiness in the enjoyment Of ore
of earth's greatest blessings-a noble,
beautiful wife. The business of the firm
is considerably Increasing, and the friends
at its head richly deserve all the success
attainab,e by their strict integrity and
most faithful attention to their business.
In our walk about the city we had occa-
sion to admire the large dimensions and
beautiful proportions of the new Court
House, now nearly completed, and also
the new interior finish OF the Music Hall,
which is gorgeous almost to extreme, bat
where we enjoyed rich musical treat in
a rehearsal by the Orchestral part of the
Society for the next concert, under the
direction Of Mr.. Ralatka and ais Ia wit
Messing some beautiful exercises on the
piano, by E1r. Won Gumbert. Wanting
to buy some music, We of course. went
to Hempstead's found him at the old
| place, but that place, how changed. In
stead Of the former one narrow store, We
found three stores combined in one, and
each one filed with its peculiar kind Of
goods. The entire store is entirely filled
| with sheet-music; the shelves subdivided
into thousands OF receptacles for as many
different kinds of compositions, instru.
ments or authors, all arranged so syste-
maticaily that any piece of these thou
sands of sheet-music is handed to you at
a moments notice. The store adjoining
on the right, IS filled with all kinds of
musical instruments and utensils of all
qualities apd prices. The left hand store
contains the Office and vast quantities OF
bound c-books, embracing not only
sacred and secular song and instruction
books, but also the entire works of tie
best composers as adapted to the different
| instruments. The rear of these three
stores is now changed into one vast room
filled with Pianos, Organs and Melo-
deems from al the best makers and at
the various grades Of prices determined
by the difference of quality and elegance
OF finish. Right here we cannot omit to
mention the pleasing impression made
upon US By two splendid Hemnsted parlor
organs on each side of the entrance, which
really surpass any similar instrument we
have yet seen, in beauty Of conception
and elegance Of finish. The attendants
we found gentlemen in the highest sense
of that expression, and we would heartily
advise all our readers to call at Hemp
sted's whenever on visit to Wisconsin,
commercial metraplis. Those wishing
to buy, cannot help being suited there.
After short but very pleasant call on
our genial friend, Mr.. III. II. Markha
who is winning golden opinions quite
rapidly, and what is better, most desery-
eddy. we went again on board of our favor
lite steamer, the Manitol0oc. where we
met Mr.. Kotzhausen, our able and GEN
tlemanly Railroad Attorney, on his way
to Sheboygan and farther north. We
did not go to sleep until after passing
Port Washington. enjoying the company
of the officers of the boat, and did not
awake again until called and being in
formed that the boat had been in port
for some time. 1t was still quite early,
and it is our impression that the steamer
makes better time this spring than she
has ever done before, and that if the noble
She6oygdn does not look well to her lau-
rels, the deer" will outrun the Indian
without much difficulty
rendering our thanks to Capt Sweeney,
CLERK Baker and to the ever attentive
Steward Mr.. John Lee, for the many
klndnesses shown to US, we heartily
recommend these gentlemen and their
noble steamer, to the patronage Of our
travelling community, wishing to all the
continuance of the success and Drosperitv
| they so richly deserve.
