Leopold Wirth is, of course. one of the charncters of the jail. e s unchanged, unless it be for the better. He talks as glibly a8 ever, and with as much unconcern for the truth as though he never doubted everything he uttered was swallowed by bis hearers as_ospel. He takes the view that if the GGovernment had let him ol it would have been berter to the extent of 350,000 to $60,000 per month square taxes, and no more crooked whisky made.

THE BROAD 0AD TO RUIN. A cutter named Watson in the employ of Mullen Brothers, wholesale cloth merchants, two years 420 obtained a holiday to 20 home 10 visit his fam- ily in New York, and died o the way. The firm, commiscrating the destitute family, made a place for a ton of the deceased, who is good luoking, and was, until a fow day# ago, consi faithful and honest, and was about 1o be raised to a lugher po- zitivn, when it way accidentally discovered that he bas been iu the habit of abstracting goods from the slorc and relling themto+ | dealers in all parts of the city. the agsresatr such thefts amount- ing to over S1,000. Th 1 was arrested and ‘made a full confession, wiien it appeared that he had for months past been leading a dissolute life, spending his evenings in billiard-rooms and houses o 1ll-repute, and gsmbling. He will go to the Pcnitentiary, the mother whoee chicf support he was is nearly heart-broken, 21 unepotted name has been sallied, and one more life has thus been wrecked. DIME-NOVEL HEROES. ‘Three boys, named Adolph Bearman (13). Burt Carrier (14), and Elijah Ward (13), of Bay View, compsnions in many a boyith scrape and in the eagar perusal of dime novels, suddenly disap- peared irow the village Wednesday. Before their departure the boys were full of bonstfulness of the exploits they expected to perform. One eaid he was going 1o the Centennial to pick pockets and ceme back with a fortunc; another was going out on the plaine to scalp Indianx; and the other an- nounced his intention of proceedimng to the Black Hill« to find a nugget big enough to fit out a first clase pirate ship. . Theee young hopefals had evi- dently been laying their plans for u long time. Their dizappearance at an carly day scems to have been generuily expected. Bearman wore a faded blue cap, a dark Kentucky coat, and shoes; his Lair is durk brown, and ‘short. Carrier had on dark clothes, much worn, an old brown hat, and bas dark hair. Ward was well dressed, having dark clothes, and brown hair. END OF A PICNIC. A man named Berndt. or Brandt, the officials are ‘vague as to wnich, residi it 18 said, on Franklin street, tried to drown himself in a cistern, Lut, be- ing perceived by a woman, was rescued. It is said that the would-pe suicide went out with his wife to a picnic in high spirits, but whilst there had some gort of a disagreemient with her which ended ina ‘Tiolent quacrel, whereupon he told her Enssium_te- 1y she should never go to a picnic with him again, and tarted for home, where, after a few prepara- tions, he attempted to drown himself, with the above result. i is hoped the couple will take ‘waruing by this narrow escape.

Spectal Correspondence of I'nc Tribune. RaciNE, July 20.—Capt. Frauk Lovell, with his usual urbavity, tendered the services of his stecamboat and crew, and arranged a thoroughly enjoyable ursion to Keuosha last Friday night.

There the weeping willow. the sombre cypress, and the gnarled oak nioan solemn- 1y in the ntful might winds, with none but the epints of the just and the unjuet to hear their whisperings after the ehadows of the evening have gathered. A weird, lonly place it is, even for o gravesard; yet, when seen through the summer moonlight that makes mottled shadows under the brooding trees, it is glorious in its gloomy beauty. A spectral place it is, though. in which fo conjure up a poet’s dream, and few indulge in its super- natural witchery. Every summer for many years there has come to our quiet town a Jady dressed in deep mourning, who s yet young and very beautiful. As the novel- ist hath it, care and sorrow have lett their traces on her fair face, and she comports herself as one bur- dened with a great grief. A strunge, miysterious woman ehe is. with apparently no friends or ac- quaintances herc other than those with whom she stays while on_her annual visits. On plestant evenings it has been her custom to take long watks in the direction of the country, entirely along, from which she invariably retarn mpleicly exhaust ed. Mer host and hostess looked upon this smgu- Jar conduct as a mutter of course, and treated her with unwavering Kindness. = One cven- ing some time ago she failed to return near the usual time, and the darkncss and threatening rain hurried the gentieman of the house in search of her.

Special Correspondence aof The Tribune. ‘WAUREsHA, Wis., July 25.—The long summer days slip lazily away; it fs with us the high-tide of the year. The ripening of the apples and the deepening colors of the flowers tell us that the fullness of the autumn-time is near at hand. Al- ready we have felt a touch of the coming win- ter. Saturday evening the mercury dropped many degrecs, and fires and flanncls were In de- mand.

Nearly every fine morninz parties start off for picnic excursions to Lakeeide, Nashotah, Ocono- mowoe;, or tome other of the many resorts in which this region abounds, Lively voices and merry laughter ring out on the clear morning air, and one catches a glimpse of fresh cambrics and linen dusters, while sun-bats that are to do duty when fishing flutter from the carringes. It i8 generally dark when they come home ugain, tired ind bedraggled, bringing oy trophies n”string of fish from the lake, ferns from swamps, and mosscs from the woods, Fishing continues good at Pewaukee; one ientleman took out over forty rock bars and perch in the course of three or four honrs one morning_ last week. It will soon be time for hunting prairic-chickens, and then a gun will divide the honors with fishinz-tackle. There are about seventy-five vizitors at Nagh's, and notas many.at the Oakton House. It ix a pleasant drive fo Calkins' Springs, about 3 miles out from the village; the waters there are strongly Tmpregnated with” iron, and the eccentric owner has arranged the grounds about in such a manner that they inust be scen to be appreciated. He has zlso a collection of fossils and other curiosities That will repay the visitor to examine. CRACKERS AND CHEESE.

Mr. Olin’s checse factory in this village seema also to be an attract- ive piace. especially about **curd’ time. From early in the morning, when the milk flows into the vat, until the new checses arc taken from the presses, the process is an_interesting one; chil- dren open their round eyes with wonder when they sce a rake, a broom, and a dust-pan_need in the operation, and lanzh to kee the curd fly in the Kneading, Mke bursting kernels of pop-corn. About 300 pounds of cheese are manufactured daily, and. judging from the samples kept on draft, the quality is excellent. THEM ANSION HOUSE is deservedly popular; prices are not exorbitant, the tabie 18 good, and guests receive every atien- tion, 1t hasa homelike air; children are aiways laying in the yard, ladies in groups are chatting in the parlors, and gentlemen lounging and £mok- ing on the piazzas. Owing to the eevere and con- tined illnees of Mr. Miner. one of the guests, no parties have been given there this season.

First, the village itself is more at- tractive than before, having become incorpo- rated, during the past year, with an houest Board of Trustees, pledged to economy, with Mayor Bolles at its head. Judge Parks presides in the Police Court, and, with Ofticers Pope and Parsons as his aids, but little chance is given for the success of vagabondism, which isan im- provement on former years; while the streets, sidewalks, bridges, etc., all show that a day of reformation has arrived. During the past season drug and jeivelry-stores have been built and occupied. A cheese factory, merchant-mill, and steam cracker factory, are all in full operation, and the lime of Pewaukec, shipped from here in large quantitics, has ‘been known for years in Chicago as the best in the market. The village and immediate snrroundings are by Nature delightful to the eye at this senson of the year, and, if ever built up, asaruml village would be one of great beauty.

A RURAL GATHERING. Special Correspondence of The Trituns. Krxosia, July 29.—Monday eveniog a large number of friends assembled at the Deersley mansion, a country residence on the ‘Racine vond some 5 wiles from the civilized precincts of this burg, to pay their respects to the host and hostess of the evening, and, in country par- lance, tohave a “hummin' good time.” The hours sped on unheeded while the merry-makers indulged in old-fashioned rural games, and en- joyed with country zest the delicious strains of danee-music that kept their weary feet from flagging in the dance until the dark shades of night ed before the first blushes of early dawn in the Eastern sky. After the fashion of “ye olden timne,” the guests enjoyed the good things provided for their entertainment, and all went well until the gay gullants started on their homeward way, each with his sweet- heart safely ensconced by his side The majority, doubtless, of these happy revelers reached home in safety, ns but two mishaps, up to time of writing, have been heard from. Onestalwart youth of noble impulses, but whoee vision does not partake largely of the owl-nuture, succeeded in upsetting the vehicle that contained himsclf and his Dulcinea. Ic es- caved without serious injury, but the lady had one of her feet badly smashed, the foot and ankle-bone being broken. She was conveyed to the nearest house and medical aseistance sent for. At last ac- connte she was doing as well as could be cfl\ cted. The other accident was caused by fast driving. Two young men, desirous of emulating the city bl‘nmfs in the matter of fast driving, ran their horse several miles, just to try his metal, they afirm, and, on reachingz home, {arned the animul loose to This he did 50 effectually with theaid of copious_draughts of cold water that his owner fotnd him dead the next morning.

The party of gentlemen who enjoyed o six- weeks' trip over the plains this summer, spending the Centenaial Fourth in the rugged wilds of the Rocky Mountains, met there to_revive the remi- niscences most pieasing to their several fancies. "They pitched their tent, the very same they used in all their wanderings, on the spacions lawn in front of the house, that they might give the aborigines of this city faint idea of the manner in which Western rangers and the noble (%) Indian_partook of an_evening meal. That eaid aborigines were gratified with the_spectacle, is a fact worthy of Epecial record. However, the lady of the house, fearing a retarn to barbarism on the part of her liege lord and his guest, had a table spread within doors after a more modorm etsle, whege those not too deeply enamored with this specimen of camp- Dife could refresh the *‘inner man™ with more toothsome yiands.

Avugony, 1L, July 20.—In accordance with Mayor Hill’'s proclamation, policemen this morning commenced an indiscriminateslaughter of all unmuzzled dogs. There must be something wrong about our stiveed " ordinance, since it is entirely ignored, and acres of luxuriant noxious weeds are in full bloom in the heart of the city, both in the streets and in vacant lots—notably on South Broadway and at the foot of Benton street. They will doubtless have matured and sceded down all the adjacent territory before the Com- mon Couneil can muster suflicient resolution to insist upon their destruction.
