occasional ehuekles by exultant Democrats
who find ii no easy matter to let Of in few
days the pent up hurrahs of twenty-five years,
and now aud then a grunt by some hopeful
Republican land strange to say there are lots
OF them), who finds dying rather hard These
relics Of one Of the warmest campaigns in
the history Of the country win soon fade
away, and the pendulum Of time win tick out
the events as if nothing uncommon had ever
occurred. P. V. Deuster. the defeated Dem

ground of bribery at the polls and illegal vot-
ing at Bag View and at the Soldiers home;
but unless he can eduee a fair amount OF
evidence it is hardly probable that he viii
carry his grievance TO Washington. George
A. Albert Dem.) defeated for sheriff, and
Eugene Cary. the defeated candidate for
treasurer on the Democratic ticket, are also
said to be looking for evidence. The threats
in these three local cases are probably mere
local Offsets to the ridiculous tenacity of
large number of Republicans on the presi-
dental election. Wednesday eve
Mug the Democrats had a
jubilee procession which ended on
Market square, where speakers addressed
vast assemblage from the balcony of the st.
Charles hotel, the steps OF the old City hall,
from the windows Of the Grand Central ho-
tel and from a stand in front of the Inde-
pendent Republican headquarters. Not
withstanding the fact that the "Duteh Mar
ket, on the corner OF Division aud Market
streets, burned during the exercises, the
speakers had an abundance Of hearers. The
procession was dark one, owing to the fact
that most Of the torches had been carried
away after the last procession before election,
but the Nominations were 6ne, that al the
residence Of John Black, on the corner of
Division and Milwaukee streets, being espec-
tally noticeable. The house was lighted TO
the top Of the tower, aud the grounds were
made beautiful by the soft radiance OF hun
dreds Of Chinese lanterns. "Honest joint
did his "level best and succeeded. The La
dies Democratic club made Mr.. Blacks res
idence their headquarters for that evening.
At the Opera house Thursday evening the
Independent Republicans held their jubilee

PANORAMA.
Paul Beehtner, Otto Osthoff and Louis
Kindt have Incorporated the Northwestern
Panorama company and will soon erect in
this city building Of the same style and
size as that occupied by the 'Battle of Get
tysburg," at Chicago. The panorama to be
exhibited VIII be the battle of Vicksburg,
with the two contending armies and the gun
boats on the Mississippi river. Mr.. Kindt is
a scenic artist, aud has taken sketches at the
scene of the battle. He is the artist who
painted the picture of the battle of Lookout
Mountain, now on exhibition in the exposi-
ton building,
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS.
The removal of pile of old brick from the
site of the Inflated NewhaIl house has revived
thought about the hotel accommodations of
the city. The Plankinton house, msgnifi-
cent in its proportions aud appointments, is
the one first class hotel in Milwaukee. 1t
can meet all ordinary demands, but occa-
sions will arise when there viii be a pinch
for first class accommodations. Besides.
the East Siders want hotel whether or no,
and they will continue wanting until some
enterprising capital comes to the front and
gratihes their desires. The Republican house,
on the corner Of Third aud Cedar streets,
one Of the oldest hOstleries in Milwaukee, is
now making a show among hotels of the
better class. The finishing touches are
being given 10 an addition which will cost
$75, 600 aud give the hotel accommodations
for $50 people. THIS new structure occupies
the site of the old Republican house, which
was RACED last spring. The lack of hotel
room in Milwaukee is perplexing those in
terested in the national saengerfest which
was billed for Milwaukee for 1854 but which
was postponed one year to await an increase

SENSATIONAL DIVORCES.
It Is reported that Howard ID. Rees, a well
known gentleman who has resided in Mil
waukee for several years past, will shortly in
siitute proceedings for divorce from his wife
Jennie Valley Rees, to whom he was married
in September last, and who it is alleged, de-
serted him a short time ago. Mr.. Rees is a
man of culture an d before his marriage
moved freely In the best society Of the city
The young woman whom he made his wife
during a spell OF infatuation came from
Troy, y. Y, " here her parents, very re-
spectacle people, still reside. An indisere-
ton of some kind caused her to leave home
and she came west with travelling man and
fell into the regular public life of a wantOn.
She possessed beauty and brilliance enough
to capture Rees, who married her and fitted
up apartments in his large red b.ick block on
the corner Of West Water and Sycamore
streets. But the young wife was not con
tent with home life, and lapsed into her old
wicked ways. Toward the close of last
month a deed WIS signed by the iii mated
couple conveying to the father and brother
of Mr.. Rees the large brick block wherein
they had their apartments for $50, 900. This
was really the first step towSrd separation,
and it is said the youug wife's signature was
secured by the payment to her of a consider
able sum of money, about $4,000. The d.
voree proceeding are causing a good deal of
gossip.
Another divorce case is also receiving
good deal OF attention, that of Miss Julia A.
Schrand, wife Of John Sehrand, of the har-
ness firm of Schrand &c Wachs, on East
Water street. The action is based upon
