AliLwaUkEE, Aug. 23.—There has bsen some menuon made in this coriespondence of the proposed House of Meicy which Bishop Welles (Eriscopal) hopes to te able to erect in the rear of the Catnedrsl buildings, on Div.sion street. between Cassand Marsbail streets. Tte need of sach an institation is scknowledged by citizens of il shudes of rel:zious belief, aud the Wuscon- sin readeis of Tuk Tripuse will be rejoiced to hear that there 18 every prospect tnat the pro- ject will be successfuliy carried out. The cor- reepondence between the Bisbop and a numter of prominent medics! pentlemen, in nhich the latter asgert the desirability of such a building and pledge themselves to aid in i's erection snd meintenance, has siready been putlisbed. The doctors who have taken the iuitiative are Messra. Thorodike, Thompson, Marks, snd Aden. They have publicly expressed tueir hepe that the wors mav be began at an early date, and offered Bistiop Welles their co-operation in bringing the matter before tbe citizeus of Milwsukee. The Bishop bss FORESHADOWED HIS INTENTIONS In the premises in s ietter which, Like all his ut- terances, is simple, dignified, and to the point. Ho expresses his devout gratitnde that others bave been moved to offer their sympathy and co-operstion in & work that Lies 8o pear his 1 art, aud then goes on to judicate the ua nre of Lis plape. He hupes (o surround the Cathedral th schools and bomes for Clrist.sn charities, amoag the first of which will be the proposed Huuse of Mercy, which is to be devoted to tho CALE OF THE INFIRX AND HELPLESS 61CK POOR of the city who cannot obtsio belp elsewhere.

It is to surve the purpose of a city bospual, opea to all, frespecive of calor, politica. or c1ced, dedicated to the poor, be they Jew or Gentile, Atneists or be'ievers, ** for man is more than bie surroundings, humanity more than izs accidenta.” The Honse of Mercy will affurd 2 pluce of refaga for the aged sud infirm aa well 28 the sick. Dissbled women—outcasts, ahen sucis will seek its bospitable-gates—will ba es- pecially provided for. Medical or snrgical treat- ment will ba afforded free to all poor persons euffering from acciden: or ili besith who are noable to afford paid attendance. Oo account of the cen:ral position of the site of the House of Mercy snd its proximity to the best residence .portion of the city. N0 CONTAGIOUS DISEASPS WILL BE TREATED. If the wards become full, the preference will e given Lo womep over . mep, byt it is hoped that the neceseity will nover arise of turuing moy deserving persons from the doors unre- lieved. 0 In connection with the House of Marcy will bew SISTERHOOD OF DEVOUT, SELF-SACRIFICING WOM- EX. This sisterhood will, in addition {0 tbeir hospi- tal duties, keep a night-gobool for bovsand girls, the lattertaking the shape of & sewing-school. Enough bas been said to show that, in some reepects, the proposed inttitution differs from any o the aity, snd that it will supply a want La.ly felt. 1tis & Christisn work with which all but real-estate peculacors will feel the deepest sym- pathy.

Bveeial Corresrondence of T'né Chicuoo Trivune, - - Kangagge, 1L, Aung. 27.—As the haivest drass esr completion, the results prove that the sield has been underestimated. From the lugubrious reports poddied out by the majority of the farmers a fow weeks ago. we townrpeople wero led to look for a complcte coilspes of ev- ersthing. It transpires that oats will yield an aggregate of one-third more than last yedr: io mavny iuslancee whers the crop was cut with scvines and stacked in bulk, the yield is 50 bush- els peracre; on bigh ground the yield is from 60 to 70 bushels per acre. Rye averages better than laet year, the yield bemg fiom 20 to 25 bushels of grain and ove-hall to one ton of straw pes acre. Flax is, on the whole, equal, if not superior, to last year's crop. Aa for corn, the utmost latitude may be-tsken with the ad- joctives In estimating the yield, provided we have an ordinarily late sesson. Some of the oars are already turuiog yellow in maturity.

There is, oo the lake shore south of the Hyde Park House and east of ths Iliinois Cen. trat Ratroad tracks, 700 acres of laod which, even in its nataral state, is consilered:a besati- ful park. This place is 15 mules long, 5{ of & mls wide at the north end or Fifty-sizth street, aod 13 g wide at the south end or Bixtye seventh sireet. The Lake Shore Drive ia already graded from Stony Isiand avenus to the lake, anl will be finished & distance of balf amile on the lake shore this fall. It is to be 40 feet wide from Stonv Isiand avesne to the lake, and 100 - feet on the lake shore. In the northwest corner of the park will be constracted a verv beautiful lake. . The gfound tn this portion of the place is naturally sdapted to that parpose. The lake shora i to be protected from the encroa:hments of tha waves by embankinents of old trees, aod by the pier which the Park Commissiouers se wow bwmlding. Tnis vier i comoosed of pies, and i to be 10 feet wile sud 8.0 fest long, Heaps of gravel are alrca ly Iving near the con- temolated ¢ urse of the new boulevard South of tbe pier a chaanel 30 feet wide and 8 feet deap 14 to be excava'ed by means of a diedge. In the centre of the park the Commissoners have dec ded to make another lake, larger than the firat gue. and which will be conuectad with the aforesaid _ channel. This lake aud chapoel will do sway with the buildng of draine aud sewers, and thus, besides . besutifsiog the park, will be ivstruments of economy. This portion of the South Park will be beantitiod with forest-owers, lawns, drives, ete. It has fine picuic grounda already. and shen compteted will be ove of the pleasantest places 1o the Unitea Scates. Tae whole South Park connistsof 1,180 acres, of which thisdivision gun- tains a trifle more than seven-twelfihs. Fifty-seventn street bonlevard ia at present 40 feet wide, aud macadsmized w.tn clay sad lske sbore gravel. It 1s fully as good s thoroagofare 28 those on which Johet giavel isns.d. When completed, it will be 640 feet wide. There will be a road 40 leet wide on each side, and in the centre will be a lake tue whole length, from the esst to the west park. boidered by Howers, lawns, trees, etc., sowewbat like Draxel boale- vard. Feruwcod, Mr. Scammon's Dbesutifal place, borders on this boulevard. g MORGAN'S PIER.

Alr. Morgag is now about to move an old scow which Les i ths town basin aroand to tue north side of the pier, and sink it sbreast of ita shore end. If tuis does not prosect the strest, he proposes to lot the town take care of ite own street. Mr. Morgsn is slready begin- ping to reap tbe fruit of his labors—those s-ent in consiructing the pier. Already quite & largeamonnt of Isud bas been made, sud ¢ boys bave to wade ont some 150 teet before flud- ing the water deep enoigh to swmimin. Heis feeling quite jubilant over the success of bis undertaking. TIE TOWX POLICE BQAED. No one need complain thac the polics force is mot strict emough.- A short tune ago several robberies occurred, but of course thers were no policemen wiihin balf s mile of the places where they were perpatrated. Tue prin- cipal things the “potice fo.ce do sre arresting vsgiants, bathers in the lake, and drankards, 1n doing which they are sure they will not get burt, though they occasionally take up some tighters. They arrest on the stehest provocations, and for causes for which Chicago policemen would scarcely thiok of making arrest.. They naver warn aoy ooe, but arrest the first time the offense 18 committed. One mesn thing they do is to arzest persons who bathe in a nude state in the lake, Thua they often arrest eeveral boys at one Lime, somatimes near svening, and, if thay cannot pay taeir fine and an exorpitact price for coats, they-are lodged iu jail, and the hard hearted polica officers nsver thiok that they msy be driving the boys' parents nearly distracted by keeping !heir children awsy from home sll night, and makiog them think that they have been drowned or injured in some mauner—por do they care. o To be suro there is an ordinsncs prohibiting batbing in a nude state, bttin most cases ibe boya are from the city, and do not kpow thab’ sach an ordinance exists here, nmor that it ia wrong to bathe. They suppoce that, out of the city, no ane will object to their bathiog, a8 th seldom go in where they can be seen from r de:ces, snd therefore give very littie anaoyancé to the public. If the Police Board would erect notice s1gns, Or warn them in any other msouer, there wonld be woms sense in arresting themi. Respectable bove have often beon arreateds through their ignorance of that ordinance. Y ‘The Park-Polica are also tyrannical in arreeds ing persons who unintentionally, through ixno+ rance of the rules, trespasson the boulevards. Thev should warn them first, and if/they did i a second time 1t would then be right to pusish tbem. The seczet of their vigilanceis that Jyagices Horne and Nees are runniug Opposie tion, and each one gets the police to bring the caaes to him, instead of bis rival, and.if the polics are paid for bringiog in cases, of course thay are Toat %8 many pervons as passible. The Pack Commissionern aze probably not aware of thg system, for they would oot “cougtanance if. would be well if they looksd afier thelr policer men a little more closely. - NEWS NREULE.
