The Cream (City Consideved as a Summe# Kesort---Other Facts and Fancics. JOURNALISM. From Our Own Correspondent. MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 18.—Milwaukee needs advertisi There s no doubt avout that. Not Jong ago onc of the +tkultehered *¥eitizens of Boston asked one of our merchants if Mil- waukee was in Missouri or Michizan? And the New York Zvening Post logated Senator Howe in Michigan, and the Wortd fixed him in Mis- souri. Milwaukee sends her manufactured zoods to Japan, Australia, aud to New Mexico, and when we remember how many thirsty throats all over the world are daily molstened with our famous lager beer, we just- begin to think that we are becoming famous, when some such inquiry as the Boston mun made takes the ras out of the balloon, aud our cgotism strikes the sand all in o heap. Every citizen of Mil- waukee, possessed of the ordinary pride belong- ing to human nature, would be glad to have bis city properly magnified as an jmportant point upon the map of the great Northwest, because it bas points of merit that are in some respects quite boyond the reach of our rivals, bixr and little. 1ts natural location is exceptionally zood, aud ihe climate is invigorating aud healtby beyond precedent, being modified trom the extremes of both heatand cold in summer and winter by the influence of the* lake. The saunitary con- ditious arc favorable in the extreme, with hish ground, good drainage, pure water, and pure air, and with the great Take and two rivers to carry off the debris to keep us clean and sweet. In short, Milwaukee bas so many advantages, natural and artificial, that wewant it wentioned in Gath and told in all the newspapers priuted in Askelon. And, as Tug TrisUNE well knows, it is o common Emcfiw for imypecunious adver- tisers to get in their “ads ” without paying for them if possible, so your correspondent will use his prerogative this Sunday worning and steal in a short notice about Milwaukee, for which the'Cominon Council ought to pay vou a dollar a line ont of any money in the City Treas- ury uot otherwise appropriated. e most eftlcient way of advertising a city is through the medium of its daily press. There is no method at once 50 cheap and thorough as 2 rood local newspaper, having ability and en- terprise, to make known to outside barbarians the adyantages of its place of publication. In- deed, an intelligent strauger eenerally judzes of the character ol a town by the sort of jour- nals that it supports as the reflex of its business enterprise, its public_morality, and its social stau Suvernl causes have couspired to keen the Milwaukee newspapers second-rate in point of circulation and Intiuence, while in point of ability some of them mizht, without straining The compliment 100_much. properly be clagsed as first rate. One of the prime causes of this inferi- ority is the fact that the Lrought into such Shatp competition with the Chicago newspapers, not onis in the city but in the State, which I penctrat- ed by Chicago ratiroads and daily suppiied with ber newapapers in advance of the Milwaukee journuls. = nowapapers is like muknzanythine else to be article manufactured and put upon the market must stand upon it8 crits, and its sale will depend upon the com etition it can stand with other sivals. The lest in the market meets with_the readiest sale, “and gen- erally crowds out_the inferior article, be it news- papers, boots and shoes, or mowers and reapers, for such is the law of trade. Clicago i¢ 100 near Milwankee to make the publication of a great newspaner in the latter possible: but that fact may ot prevent ns from having all we need iu that fine. " ftisno disparagement to the publishers of {lie<o Tocal papers that they are no better. On the contrary. 1 is to their credit that thoy are £0 2ood, \when all the adverse_circumstances of the case are considered, especlally when local support is en- tirely withheld or grodgingly given. A third rea- son 15 that the city coniaius o larze & proportion of Germans, who support five daily papers of their own, and so far as_one-third of the popnlation of the city is concerned. an Encl sh duily might as well be printed in Amsterdam us in Milwankee. Tndced. the most widely circulated paper printed in this city at the present time is the Yerman der- old, oniginally started a3 8 joint-stock Republicun ewspaper, but which was ‘*gobbled™ by tnc Drescat . proprietor, and is mow run as an Mdcpendent . vaper. The German - papers are, therefore, no small factors in our Conslomerate civilization, and in estumating their Yolie as an advertising medium for the city at large, it must be considered that thelr circulation is merely local and clrcamscribed, und_that they seldom attract attention ontside of the State. The wholesale trade of Milwaukee in its different branches has probably donc a3 much to udvertise the city as any branch of business, especially if we embrace in the estimate an account of the sale of manufactured articles. For be it known that ours is emphatically a manufacturing lown: mauy. of our wn citizens hinve a very unperfect ides of the ex- fent and value of manufactured goods, *‘Make gomething to scil " seems to be tho motto written over thopsands of dvors, and when the agregate value of our industry is computed the annual re- turne are indeud surprising. This remark ia es- eclally true when applied to the production of Phall articles, ornaments, and houschold goods, rather than to those implements that cost larze Eme. When we hear of a manufacturing 10wn the image of the things vroduced “ig in tho shapo of steam-engifcs, mowers, resp- ers, threehing-machines, ecedere, plows, wag- one, and the like. and wlile Milwaukee Bas il these 1ndustries, she is doing muck more.1n e line of hats and cips, boots and shoes, cigar: cutlery, paper boxes, spices. clothing, gloves, tirass moldings. musical instruments, pictures. and o thousand and one articles of use in our do- Hestic cconomy. 1t is the production of thesc minor articles, some of them stavle and some otherwise, that makes Milwaukee the rich and sub- stantinl city thot he is to-day. . MILWAUKEE IN DOG~-DAYS. «When the swallows homeward fly,” and the base-ball epidemic begins to rate, and house- cleaning is over, then the daily papers begin to be annoyed with “Notes from the Watering- Places” “usually written by out-at-the-elbow correspondents who would fafu pay a portion of their bills at some third-class tavern by pufling the clerk and advertising the manager. Wis- consin has commenced the watering-place busi- ness tn dead earnest, and Ler people propose to cultivate the srt ol making other people com- fortable durinz the summer solstice, provided they are well pafd for it.

The new city officers are geiting down to business in their several positions, and are adapting themselves to their new relations as fast as possible. City-Attorney Johnson has given a written opinion already, and Mayor Black has vetoed a resolution of the Common Council that he thought contained an unwhole- some provision. The new City Engineer has been inspecting the Water-Works, aud has ex- pressed his belief that there s cither a big leak in the reservoir or a serious defect in gome of the main pives. He is also quite sure that there is o great deal of water rupning to waste through the carelessness of some of our citi- zens—a thing that ho will ook into at once and apply the necessary remedy. Health-Commis- sioner Wight Is another of the new brooms that sweep clean, He has already. applied his sanl- tary idess to some of the public buildings, potably the dirty old Morgue, and has warned butchers arainst the sale of incipieat and un- wholesowe veal. Belng an attorncy 83 well as a doctor, he had one fellow hauled up for vio- latlug a health ordinance, and_ appeared as vrocecuting officer. he . keeps on, il City Attorney will get jealous of him as touchiug upon his dutics as the law- officer of the erown. Dr. Wight is likely to prove of substantial service to the city io the role of a fopatic on sanitary matters. ‘Theaver- age citizen is so ignorant and stupd that he is seldom moved in the line of progress until some cxtreme meaus are employed tostart him; nence extremists are o great uecessity in tne work of reform. Theold Liberty party mao who declared that the Constitution of thie coun- try was “‘a leazue with Hell and coyenant with déath,” aroused the nation to a moderate sense of the ignominy and shamne of holding men and women in slavery, which resulted at last in cman- cipation. It needs the fanaticism of the Prohibi- tonists, the zeal and enthusiusm of the crusaders, he extreme notions of the touch-not-taste-not- bandle-not sort of temperance-men in order to bring the great body of the comunity up to oc- cupy a golden’ mean upou this Importint question, SoMFiaht hias got sewer-gas on the brain, and will bane away in ever so many languages until the Dailders, ind plumbers, and architects, and allof us will know more sunitary ecience than we do at present. In a lecture delivered not long ago, before the Popular Science Socicty, the Doctor drew us a picture of 100 tons of filth deposited in the Milwsukee River from toe sewers ana gutiers of the city every twenty-four hours, and the 00s- jous gases that 3rise therefrom, before the maes is carried off Lo the lake by the sluggish current—a picture that made us thank tho Lorl for the re- fresning breezes that drive off and dissipate these poisonous odors, rather than to thank Him for any swisdom that has yet been manifested in our sys- tem of sewerage. "'ho uew Chief of Police reorganized his force on Wednesday, and dropped ont about twenty of the old policemen._ Of course the cuts are cx- cecding‘{ ‘mad, and abont one hundred men who expected a place ou the force for work doue and Debformed on electlon-day arc_quoting Scriptural Dlirases and formulas that ound very” much like the imprecations of David on the heads of his cnemics. They may be seen standing about on the street-corners, swinging their fists, talking Pad English, carsing Mayor Bluck, and taking other peacelul metbods to let off steam. Some Of the tmore patriotic of them proposed to hanz the Mayor to the ncarest lamp-post, but the proposition did Dot meetwith suflicient fayor to make it popular. The Chief of the Fire Brigade has made some ten changes in his force, and of course there are fewer unyry applicants than aiflict the soulgof the heads of the other departments, The sirength of the de- partment is said to be in its tall, like a kangaroo, Dot then some people are <o vrejudiced that they cannot sce things in their true lignt. Tp to this date the force hos been very eticient. What it will be now remains to be secn. Jt18 suid that the Jesuits in the School Board still continue their secret meetings, and the public il know from time to time what the etar cham- Der proposes to do in the matter of public educa- tion. 'The outraze that was perpetratea by the re- moval of Supt. MucAlister is still without excuse or palliation, and those responsible for it will be held to answer at the bar of public opinion. Carl- osity is excited to know just what sort of a blunder will be committed next. WATER RATES. 1t is undeniably true that our water rate, like the price charged for gas, is so extortionate that it prohibits many poor people from using it, aud is forcing them to fall back upon wells and cis- terns. This is to the serious inconvenience of the citizens and to the serious deiriment of the income tax that might be derived {rom that source. It now costs $20 per annum ou an average for au ordin®™®€awelling, and if there is a little lawn as big a3 a horse-blanket, and a barn, it costs about 525 a year. Add to this the cost of plumbing and repairs, and it is readily seen that the expense is far Loo great to corre- spond with the benefit derived. It isa grave qmistake that the charze for water should be so high as to preclude a large proportion of those Who would be glad to usc it if they could afford it, and who are taxed to pay the interest on the bonds thet were issued to build the tworks. This is a rank injustice that ought to be sficcu!ly remedied, 1f B man takes wa- ter he is taxed twice for it,—once in the general assessment of all property to pay prinel- fal ana inerest on bonds, aud, secondly, he is Paxed specinlly for his pro rata of *what is'used by Bits family. On the other hand, aoout a third or fourth of the outlay is paid by those who derive no beneft from it whatever, except to provide the mcans to extinzuish fires, and that the rich mey Tevel In £ luxury which they can help pay for but cannot afford to enjoy. The city would derive more revenue {rom this source If the rates were Teduced #0 that the poor could use it more gener- “lly thun is now the case. Water und air are fceded in large quantitics in order that the people may he clean, comfortable, and godly, aud our ministers ought to preach a sermon on ** Cheap Water as a Means of Grace.” Thera 13 plenty of \water i Lake Michigan, and the pumping capacity of thio works not yot exhausted. ‘The temperance Ten ought to insist that water shonld be ae.cheap as lages beer. POLITICAL. The othier day I met Jerry Rusk, coming out of the St. Paul Railroad oflice, and of course I pumped him. Rusk, you will remember, was two terms in Congress from the old La Crosso District, succeedine Gen. C. C. Washburn, and he knows the political situation of his section of the State like a book. The General is here to see about securing aid to build abranch railroad from Sparta tf a, the county-seat of Ver- non County, where beresides, the distunce being about 35 mifes, through a fine agricultural coun- try.

VERSE. Some English Specimens of Old French Varieties. Rondeau, Triolets, Rondel, Villanelle’ Ballade, Pantoum, and Sestina. They are a school towin The fair French daughter to learn English fa; ‘And, graced with her song, o make the language sweet upon her tongae. —Den Jonson, Underwoods. 1t fs curious to note that the_only fixed and rigid form of verse which we English-soeaking people have been willing to adopt permanently is-the sonnet; and, even in the construction of that, we at times ke strange liberties,—li- censes rather, to make a purist in metrical forms stand aghast. It is almost equally curious to note that the first impetus toward the intro- duction of new forms comes to us from ‘France, —a country where, until within the last balf- ‘century, verse has been as prim and precise, as empty and as soutless, a8 metrical prosé by any possibility may be. But, under the inspiration of the romantic revival which marked the dyinz days and final downfalt of the. elder branch of the house of Bourbon, and especially uunder the influence of the extraordinary vigor and vitality of Victor Hugo's earlier verse and prose, the fresh young blood of France began to course through more poetic chan- nels, inventing new forms to vent its new-found fecling, and tilling old forms again with the currcot of newlife. The young poets went back to the verses of the troubadours and trouveres, and to the metrical forms of the fourtcenth century; and, indeed, they went wherever they hoped to find & form or a sugzes- tion of style suitable ana worihy of modern reproduction and resuscitation; the stranger, the odder, the more cxotic the better. THE VIRELAIL, TOE RONDEAU, THE RONDEL, were broughit agein futo favor. The Euglish ballad with its wealth of suggestiveness and Iytle possibility was fit indecd to the minds of oung writers fresh from the first reading of Notre Dame ae Paris.” Hugo called one col- lection of his poems “Odes et Ballades,”— {hough, as a critic objected, it contained neither odes nor ballades,—tor the French ballade is radically different from the Tnglish ballad, and it was the English lyric which Hugonad inmind, not the French forn of verse. ’And to-dny the inspiration which the French octs caught from their study of the carly orms of, Freneh verse is beginning to be trans Tmitted across the Chaunel to England, aod w now and then see an English rondea or villanelle; and the sight is ever welcome. Mr. Austin Dobson, sceking fresh fields and pastures new, has taken up the study of the rc- vived Frenen lorme, sud, in his receat olume, “Proverbs in Porcelain,” presents us with what are probably the first specimens in English ol the pantount, of tue ronde!, and of the badade. The word rondeau has been applied inaceurate- Iy in English to aay poem in which the first \words of the stanza were repeated at the end. The one speeimen of this sort which ail may re- member, is Leleh Hunt's brief and beautiful— Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in: Time, you thief, who love to get Swoets upon your list, put that in— Say I'm weary. say I'm sad. . ‘Say that henith and wealth have missed me, Say I'm growing old; but add— Jenuy klssed me? How far this is from the REAL FORM OF THE RONDEAU can readily be scen by comparing 1t with this imitation by Mr. Dobson of a French rondeaw of Voiture’s: YOU BID ME TRY. You bid me try, bluc cyes. to write A rondeau. W hat!—forthwith?—to-night? Reflect. - Sowme skill, 1 have, ‘s true; But thirteen lines—and rhymed on Lwo— «iRefrain," as well. Ab, hapless plight! Still, there arc five lings—ranged arirht. These Gallic bonds, I feared, wou. iright My easy Mage. They did il you— You bid me try! This makes them nine. The port's in sight; "Pia all because your cyes are oright! Now just a pair to end with **00"'— When maids command, what can't we do? Behold! the rondeau—tusteful, light— You bid me try! The idea of this rondea of Voiture's, letting the rondeax turh upon the difilculty of making a rondeau at nll, is due to Lopede Vegs, who used it fn a play. . TIE SPANISH SONNET has been imitated in Freach, Italian, and in English; and, by way of comparison, an Enelish version, by Edwards, the author of © Canons of Critieism,”? which is given by Lord Holland, in his * Life of Lope Vexa,” may as well be copied here: Capricions Wray a sonnet needs must haves T ne'er was #0 put to't before: a sonnet— hy, fourteen verses must be spent upon it. "Tis good, however, I've conquered the first stave. Yot [ shail ne’er find thymes enough by half, Said I, and fonnd myself in the midst of the second: 1t twice four verses were but fairly reckoned. 1 should turn back on the hardest part and langh, Thus far with good success I think. T've scribbled, And of twice seven lines have got clear o'er ten. Courage! Another'll anish the'firet triplet. Thanks lo_the Muse, my work begins to shorten. There's thirteen lines got through driblet by drib- let. "pis done! Count how you will, I warrant there's Tourteen. e The halting metre and wretched rhymes of this liberal sonnet make us wonder whether the canons of the worthy Edwards’ criticism were quite os 2oud weapons s those our more mod- ern eritics fight with. And here—although it is purely a digression— space must be found for another sounet, A LITERARY CORIOSITY without parallel: for it is all in lines of but one word cach—a sonnet, in short, of but fourteen words. It is by a modern Frenchman, M. J. do Resseguier, and here it is: Fort Belle, Elle Dort. Frele Sort; uclle Mort! Rose Close; La Drieo La Prise.” To réturn to our sheep, here are some of Mr. Buhson‘s most lightsome and frolicsome famb- kins. THEY ARE TRIOLETS, 4 or little verses wherein tbe first line appears three time,—whence the name,—and the second line closes the stanza: TOSE-LEAVES. 4 Sans peser—sana vester." These are leaves of my rose, Pink petals | treasure: There is more than one knowse In these lenves of my rose: O the joys! O the woe They are quite beyond measure., These are leaves of Iy rose— Pink petals I treasure. ¢ A K Rose kiszed me to-day. Wil she kiss me to-morrow? Let it be as it may, Rose kizeed me to-day. Bat the pleasure gives way To a savor of S0rrOwW— Rose kissed me to-day; Witl she kiss me to-morrow? URCECS EXIT. T intended an ode, “And it turned into triolets, It hegan a la mode— 1intended an ode, But Rose crossed the road With a bunch of fresh violets: 1 intended an ode, And it tarned into triolets. Notice how skilifully the recurring words are sought to be varied in meaning: how a different color and tone is given to the same phrase, to the greater variety of the whole poem. Upon similar princlples of recurring lines are founded the viilanelie and the rondel; Mr. Dobson has as yet given us no virdah, o lack he will doubtless in time supplv. HERE IS A RONDEL— not far distant in form from the rondeau, but neither as full nor as capable of containing thought: % TOO WARD IT IS TO SING! Too hard it is to einz In these untuncful times, When only coin can ring, And no one cares for rhymes! Alas for him who climbs To Azanippe's spring: Too hard it {s to sing In these untuneful times! ‘His kindred clip bis wing; 1lis feet the critic lime: It fame her laurel bring 01d nge his forehead rimes: Too hard It s to sing In these untaneful times!

Agafn, akin to these in form, In the use of the “tegrain,” in the Hmitation of therhyme, Is THE BALLADL— and of this Mr. Dobson’s flne picce of verse-mal ng: fory stanzas, and brought out finally in the envoi. Here Is the ballade: TAE PRODIGALS. Princes! and you most valorous Nobies and barons of ull degrees! Hearken awhilt 10 the prayer of us— zara that come from the over-sc: Nothinz we ask or of gold or fees; Darty us not with the hounds. we pray!

ENVOL Youth, take heed to the prayer of these: Many there bo by the dusty way— Many that cry 1o the rocks and seas, \"Give us, nh! give us, but yesterday1™ . Not content with merely French forms of verse, the French poets Lave even adopted one Malayan form, THE PANTOUM, first brought to their attention in the notes to Hugo's © Orlentales,” and afterward employed to advantage by Theophile Gautier and “Tlico- dore de Bunville. It is not at first sight co- couraging; 1t consists of o series of four-line stanzas, the second and fourth lines of each stanza reappearing as the tirst and third of the next sianza, and so on ad iufluitum, the first and third lines of the first stanza appearing amain in the final one. Mr. Dobsow’s pantoum is a tittle long, so only beginning and end are given: IN TOWN. o+ Thhe blue-ly sung in the pans.”—TESNTSON.

There is still another form of verse which de- serves mention here, althourh Mr. Swinburne s possibly the only English writer who has at- tempted it. This is THE ‘*SESTINA,"'— a serles of six stanzas, each of six lines,—gen- erally hendecasyllubics, —with an *‘envol” of three lines. ‘Thesame six words must cnd the 1ines of each stapza. being dulychanged in their order, and three of these rhyming words appear asain'in the *envoi This form was a great favorite with the Provencal troubadors, and it is also to be found slightly moditied in‘the Ital- an. Here1s Mr. Swinburne's *sestina,” which seems, though it may perhaps be heresy to say 50, to have much more sound than sense: 1 sew my coul rest upon a day ‘As a bird slecplng in the zest of nieat, Among soft icaves that give the starlight way, "To touch its wings but not its eyes with ligity So that it knew s one in visions may, "And know not s« men waking of ‘defight.
