Prom Our Orrn. Correspondent. Mruwavkee, Nov. 9.—The Milwaukee people who bave sufficiently good judrment to select 1his correspondence for their Milwsukee news will (except as to a few of them) be surprised to Jearn that an entire revolution in the City Gov- crnment is to be one of the chief conscquences of the result of the late election. Sucha revo- Jution is not necessary to insure Milwaukee as a Republican city after the next election, extraor- dinary contingencles excepted; but there will not be zgain an election for city officers txllA a ¥ear from pext spring; and that is long to wait, besides unexpected accidents may occur. The same result will therefore be accomplished by & smell coup d’etat through the next Legislature; and the event will not be lonz delayed, nor will it be compromised or lack any element of strength and success. The Legislature is two- thirds Republican in both branches. The Gov- ernor is Republican, and any lemislation of a political character will be sure of both Legis- lative and Executiveapproval. The plan simply will be to so amend the city charter of Milwau- Xee as to strip the Mayor of all his power, abol- ish the present minor departments of the City Government, and govern the ity by Commis- sions created and appointed av Madison. An act of the Legislature for these purposes conld be introduced. passed through both Houses under 4 suspension of the rules, and signed by the Governor; and if, as is often the case when the passace of a bill is certain and _the exigency is pressing, the enrolled bill sbould be prepared in advapce, the whole routine micht oot oceupy twenty minutes' time. "This legislation will not probably be had till after the Senatorial elec- tion; but it will then be immediately pressed with expedition. The change in the form of . City Government will be radical and thorough. The Board of Public Works will be_abolisbed, 2nd - the Com- missioners of Public Works will be established, to be appinted by the Governor and confirmed by the Senste, instead of being appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Council. The po- lice organization and the Fire Department will be abolished, legislating both Chief Kennedy and Chief Clagmeier out of_office, anda Board of Police Commissioners and a Board of Fire Commissioners will be appointed by State an- thority, who will appoint the Chiefs of the twe departments. This revolution will place W. A. Nowell acd Moses Lane with two ex- pericnced and _energetic Republican poli ticians in_the Public Works Department. ex-Chief William Beck wiil be replaced atthe head of the Police, and ex-Chief Henry Lipper will resume eharge of the Fire Devart- ment. The present plan of letting the official city paper to the lowest bidder will be abolished. and the Public-Works Department will desic- nate the official city papers, publication to be paid at fol rates {or lezal advertisine, the same @s the officizl State paper is paid. The power of appointment will be entirely taken from the Mavor, and loaged in the heads of Depart- mente. The Health Department will be also revolutionized, and Dr. James Johnson wili he reinstated as its executive oflicer. The Citv Comptrolier really has no powers exceptas a mere bookkeeper, and so probably will not be disturbed. The same may suid of the City Treasurer. ‘The ~ City-Attorney- ship will. be likely to go turoush the process of reconstruction. That s the pro- gramme of the Republican msnagers, thourh all the details are not perfected. It w.il make the City Government Republican in all but the figurchead, to which the Mavoralty will be rg- duced. There is no reason why the plan should not succeed and be acceptable to the people, who have recently given so surprisine but so decisive 4 Republican majority of the voters. The revo- lution will be accomplished before next April, and the spring election will be held under the new system. 3 IMPROVEMENTS AND BUSINESS. ‘The contract for buildine the County Insane Asylum bas been let for $134,933. It will be built on a tract of Jand adjoining the Poor-Farm inthe Town of Wauwatosa. The system of county insane asvlums is s new one, adopted by the last Legislature. The law provides that ‘when the State Asylums (o1 which there are two, one at Madison and the otner at Oshkosh) shall be full, any county may build an asylum on vlans to be approved by the State Board of Charities and Reforms and the Governor; and when such an asvlum is comvpleted, the State shall pay one-balf its cost. The patients in the Btate Asylums from that county shall then be removed to the County Asylum, and the State shall pay for their support there. Iuebriates from any part of the State may also be admit- ted to the County Asvlum, but not at the cost of the State; the county from which the fnebri- ate comes shall pay the cost of Lis maintenance. The sign * Caleb Wall & Sony”! las disap- gem’ed {rom the streets of Milwaukee, where i as been a visible and comspicuou$ object for thirty years. It was an auctioneering firm formed by the late Caleb Wall, and the old firm- name was_retained after his death until the Eresunt time. The Hop. E.C. Wall, who has ept up the firm, withdraws from it to engage in other pursuits, and the business passes into new hands. The decrease in earnings of the St. Panl Company for the last week in October was $110,000, and for the mouth of October $390,- 000. The flurry in St. Paul stock which carried the preferred Up to 65% and the common to 82}¢ vesterday, was understood to be a move- ment in sympathy with the rapid rise in North- western, which is zoing up in prospect of a dividend next month. Many of the shorts in Bt. Paul stock have been “hedging” by going TJong on Northwestern. Among the recorded mortgages is one for $10,000 by W. P. Lynde to ihe Milwankece Mechanics” Mutual Insurance Company on prop- erty io Lynde’s addition to the Sccond Ward. Among the sales of real estate is Lot 2, Block 41, Fourth Ward, 60 by 131 feet, just south of Grand avenue, on Fourtcenth street, by E. D. Chapin and wife to Iorace Giles for $5,000. This i a zood showlng for residenca property. A trust-deed is recorded by which John Peter Klelr conveys 158 acres in See. 9, Town of Granville, twelve miles from Milwaukee, to Archbishop Henni and Vicar-General Kundig as Trustees for the use of the Catholic Church. Timothy Mower and otber parties here are making srrangements throurh Edward Barber, the real-estate agent, 16 parchase or rent the vacant Northwestern Flouriy, s in this city for the purpose of using it to «rind oat-meal. There is a proposition which is receiving con- eiderable attention to attach a life-insurance fee io membership in the Chamber of Commerce. Thumemm'.r of members of this jpstitution is about 500, and the deatbs average three per an- nuw, though a greater death-rate may well be orovided for. The proposition js that on the death of any member a tax of §$5 each shall he Juiid by the other members of the Chamber for the benefiv of the family of the deceased. Those who are advocating the scheme say that ninc-tenths of the men die poor. bre their apparent prosperity at times; and the Ell-yumuuu in jts favor are numerous and forci- o 8 AMONG TIIE LAWYERS. An important case to teacliers, scholars, and parents has been decided by the State Supreme Court. R.W. Burton, Supcrintendent of the Janesville High School, expelled’ George L. Burpee from the schioo) on charwes of general bad conduct. The father of the - cxpelled echolar, A, E. Burpee, an mfuential citizen and volitician, brought suit for the reinstatement of his £on on the ground that the Board of Edu- cstion only, and not the teacher, had the power of expulsion. The Circait Court sustained the parent, but on appeal this judgment was re- versed, and the Supreme Court held that the teacher stangs in loco parcntis, and can make reasonabie rules for the rovernment and disci- pline of the school, which will stand unless cozatermanded by the Board of Education, and that the teacher has inberently the power of expulsion, tnless he has been deprived of it by the aflirmative action of the Board. The American Express Company has secured *~ «tay of execution for thirty days on the judg- whatever may mentof §1,37S in fayorof E.D. Rood. The judgment was against the Express Company be- cause one of their. tcams ran away and a col- lision resulted, in which Mr. Rood’s bugzy was smashed to pieces. Under the Revised Statutes, the Probate Court will bereafter hold terms commencing the first Tuesday of each month, and all notices will be eet for that day for hearing. Cases wiil then be taken up in their regular order and dis- posed of, aud if parties or aitorneys are not Teady their cases will Zo over to the nex: cal- cudar. The decree of divorce of Kate Desmond, the former housekeeper at the Newhall House, from P:m'r_k Desmond, ber husband, has been grant- ed. A curious case occurred in the matter of the signature of a surety to the bond of James Sheehan, to whom thé contract was awarded as the lowest bidder fdr building the County Lu- natic Asylum. Georze A. Hadficld says that Lis signature as surety to the bond is a forgery. The award of the contract to Shechan has been rescinded. The wheat euit, <o called, between Easton, a banker at Decorah, Ia., and L. ¥. Hodges, of this city, will be tried next week. The amount fuvolved is some $10,000 or $12,000, and is based upon a_claim of Euston against Hodzes for wheat shipped by a wheat biser named Ballou, of Decorah.. The case 1s well known in specu- lative circles, and will attract considerable in- terest. A snit for commissions on a eale of real estate is brouzht by Mucller & Adams, real estate agents, ngainst Valentine Blatz, the wealthy brewer. 1t 1s alleged that Blatz agreed to pay them a commission for the sale of cer- tain property; that they brought a man named Schroeder to Blatz; that the trade was not then concluded, but Blatz and Schroeder aiterwards came tometber, and the trade was effected. Blatz then refusca to pay the commission agreed upon. 1f the facts are as stated, Blatz must pay. The law has been settled in halfa dozen similar cases. A probate case in Judge Macu’s court in- terests the colored poulation. . A negrowoman named Ellen Keunedy died in_this city some time since, leaving as her only blood relation a granddoughter, to whom, however, she be- queathed in a will which she made only a pair of red blankets, giving the rest of her prop- erty, about $1,000, to parties in_Cleveland who were in no way related to her. John Redmond, the husband of the granddaughter, contests the will. Benjamin F. Miller, a grandson of the late Judse A. G. Miller, has been appointed As- sistant Clerk of the United States Court. H. W. Dixon, W. E. Furlong, Theo. A- Scmon, W. J. McElroy, and Georze A. Parker have been admitted to practice in the State Cir- cuit Court. OUR JEWISH POPULATION. As everybody is reading the reprint of a series of brilliant and vituperative articles published in an English magazine, assailing Disracli prin- cipally on the ground of Lis Jewish orizin, it be- comes an interesting question as to how our Jews are getting along. I koow a mao in the interior of the State of ripened facultics, of thoughtful kabits, with a well-ordered mind, ex- tensive reading, and a taste for theological sub- jects, who thinks that some great revolution in the world’s affairs is to como from a Jewlsh movement near or remote, which will jnvolve the fate of Empircs and continents, These the- ories are familiar to men of general reading. and information. A more interesting study in daily life, however, is 35 to the tendencics and general repute of this class of citizens. It may be that the Jewish population of Milwaulee are differ- ent from the population of the sume nation- ality in other cities. The Jews here with us may be “a peculiar people.” At any rate, they are among our solid men, 3s to personal character, business cabacity, gen- eral worth, aud average respectability. ~The elder generation do not eed culoyy. Butit is especialls remarkable. and it should be noted, that the younzer members of the Jewish fami- lies iu this citv are gentlemen aod ladles of re- finement, of real merit, of excellent character, and giviog the best promises of usefulness. Among all the scions of the numerous Jewish families of Milwaukee not a half dozen can be found whose babits or principles are bad. Near- 1y all, even of the youths just passing to man- hood, are established in business or iu places of trust’ in_business houses. Some of the best socinl and literary clubs are under the patrou- uze of young Jewish ladies and gentlemen. This feature of Milwaukee busivess and social circles is so marked and pecaliar that it deserves svecial. mention. The few esceptions to the weneral good repute of the second zeneration of our Jewish popalation only serve as a foil to set off the excellent qualitics of the great mass of young men aod women of that nationality. LITERARY GOSSIP. Many of even the intimate friends of Col. George B. Goodwin, who knew that he was an able lawyer and a flne public speaker, were not aware of the fact that he is a classical scholar of taste and refinement. Col. Goodwin bas 2 son, Master Henry D. Goodwin, who is a student at the State University at Madison, and whois well advanced in the anclent languages. The lad pursues his home studies under the eye of the father, and the tworead Euripides togetber. Asaresult of these cxercises, and to stimulate the boy’s pursuit of learning, Col. Goodwin produced a traustation of Medea,” which is, to be sure, merely the result of these stuaies, but which is nevertheless a work of more than ordinary merit. A few copies were printed for personal friends, and a great deal of admiration has been expressed for the work. Mrs. Mattie Bridees fs baving a tolerably suc- cessful lecture seazon in the interior of the State. She is the widow of Mr. Bridses, a well- koown banker in Milwaukee twenty years ago, who went to Florida, where he died. Mrs. Bridees is young, beautifal, and_accomplished, and her lectures are well appreciated. She re- ceives much assistance from Odd-Fellows, who aid her in securing audiences. C. C. Bowsfield, well known amonsr local newspaper men, has assumed tne duties of her business manage- ment. The Sunday Lecture Soclety made a bad start- off last Sunday, the first cay of their season, and they blamé a Chieago institation, The Chi- cago Male Quartette was cuzaged, throuzh Hathaway & Pond’s Lecture Bureau, for a con- cert to open the course. It is said that they an- nounced that they were to have Prof. Tomlins for accompanyist, but he did not accompany them, and “had never heard of the Quartette. They arrived here, dod said they would sceure Prof. Gompert, but they did not. Mrs. Stacy came with them, but her best efforts were spoiled by the failure of anything excellent to support her. 3o it wasa bad mess altogether. This is more properly a musical than_a literary item; but it grows out of the Sunday Lecture Society, so properly comes under the head of literature. Prot. Emil Franklin will give Shakspearean ‘personations at Temple E Manuel next Monday evening. His readings aud personations have attracted muchattention here, and are pronounc- ed excellent. Dr. J. Pactteman, an Asiatic traveler, is to deliver a course of lectures before the German Society. The Rev. Georze E. Gordon will read a paper before the Fortnightly Club, at the Plankinton House parlors, this eveniog. Mr. Gordon, by the way, who is pastor of the Unitarian Churel of this city, bas entered upon a crusade. He ‘was a delegate to the recent National Conven- tion_of Liberal Christians held at Syracuse, Y., and he is not in love with the movement i was starced there to procure a repeal of the Iaws authorizing an cspronage of the matls for the detection of obscene literature. He delivered a sermon on **Freedom of Printing” Jast Sunday cvening, in which he declared it to be the duty of socicty and the law to suppress grrossly immoral and hurtful publications, and he announced that he is enlisted for the war on that side of the question. ° The Sunday lecture to-morrow will be by Compradore G. William Bailey, the Chinese traveler. MUSICAL NEWS. St. Paul’s Church choir and coneregation are practicing for the song service, which will be hereafter rendered once a month. The choir of the First Baptist Chureh have all resumed their places since the reopening of the church under the ministrations of tie new pas- tor, the Rev. Dr. Dodze. The choir consiststot D. D. Davis, dircetor and bass; Miss Delia Lewis, soprano; Miss May Rivers, alto; Rovert G. Smeaton, tenor; and Miss Cox, crganist. Miss Mollic Evans, the charming vocalist, has retarned to the city and resumed her nr{lccm n}; :nd Cnlvnrg- Church. dutiesdy Mrs. Hayden, the excellent alto sinm Immanuel “Church choir, bas been absont frors the city, out bas returned, and appears in the ch’fl:- x:(s1 usual. i e Quintette Club, of this aty, consisting of Prof. Nutchins, Heary Thicle, Joseph Chapek, Joln Kohler, and Prof. Muskat, are uiviug con- certs at various points in the Northwest. The Arion Club, male voices, and Cecilian Club, female voices, will give their first joint concert of the season Dec. 6. The oratorio of 8¢, Paal, and Acis and Galatis, will be render- ed. ‘The oratorio of Paul is the proper name for this ereat production. The “St.” Paul js a hnkje mrs%)tiun. St. James’ Church choir are abont taking u; the Christmas service for practice and rchm{;rsnl‘.’ R.X. ¥an Dyke, the sccomplished so- prano singer of Immanuel Church choir, has been uncomfortably ill, and did not apuearin her place last Sabbatn. She has recovered, and will pe on duty sgaiu to-morrow. THE POLITICAL RESULT. ‘The Democratic party of Milwaukee bas gone into 8 hole. A Mammoth Cave occurred last Tuesday, and the Democracy have slid into it. ‘This thing bas been coming here a good while, and it has got here at last. For yearsand years it has been thought sufficient for any man to et on to the Democratic ticket to insure his election. The thost insufferable bummers, gut- ter voliticians, and scapegraces bave been nom- inated, and were elected by mere party strength. Once in a great while fsolated cases would occur where one would be defeated, but they were rare. Cases were much more frequent where the best men in the city and county who sought places on the Democratic ticket were defeated DLy the worst men. But this got to be a little too thick. Now, Deuster is not a bad man, but he was not a £00d man to nominate for Congress. He se- cured his nomination by:packed caucuses. e asked for it not because he was fit, able, honest, and the best man for the place, but beeause e was o German. Ice Bear Krueger micht have asked for it, and was just as much entitled o it, on that ground. After Deuster was nowminated, e wrote and published silly appeals asking votes because he was a German, and the fact that he was also a Catholic was promineutly dis- piayed. He deserved to be heaten. Hundreds of Democrats have wished that he bad gone down with the balance of the ticket, for the de- feat of the other Democratic candidates was us much owing to the fact that he was on the tick- et, they said, as to any other cause. ‘The Demo- crats realize that their party has been destroyed in this county beeause they” have nominated bad men for office, until now the best men cannot be elected. Not a Democrat can be found in the city who will say that he believes the Democrats will carry Milwaukez City or County sgain in five years. 1t will be impossible in the near fu- ture to get a decent man to run on the Demo- cratic ticket for any office; for indecent men have destroyed the party and the chances which grood men might have had for clection. There will now be a great anxiety for gvod men to run. As longr as any loafer or scalnwag who was called a Democratic candidate could be elected, the best men were never asked to put their names on_the tickets. Now, when power, pay, and plunder cannot be had by those who gought office for nothing else, respectability will be besought and asked to run and drag the party out of the mire. But it won't do. ~ Mil- waukee will be 3 Republican city for the best part of the next decade. Horace Rublee, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, closed the commit- tee-rooms last Thursday, and has beea on 2 trip to Chicago. He will go to New York in a short time, to be absent several weeks, The votes in the city will be canvassed at'a soecial meeting of the Council to be beld nest Monday. The official county canvass will be made at the meeting of the Board of Supervis- ors next Tuesday. It is said that Deuster de- clared he would not take a seat in Congress un- less he bad 1,500 majority. 1t is to be hoped he will be as zood as his wt¢ The air has been blue since election-day with Democratic carses of Duester. Thev lay i to bim, aud say he beat their whole ticl Mr. McLaren has vot yet concluded to contest Wall's seat in the Assembly. But Judge Down- erand others are collecting material for the contest, and will induce McLaren to give the use of his name. LOCAL, SOCIAL, PERSONAL. Henry Williams, onc of the oldest merchants in Milwaukee, who retired from business sev- cral vears since, has been in fecble health for some months. Mr. Williams was a ’3Ger, aud the firm of Cory & Williams had a clothing- store on the corner of Wisconsin and East Water streets, where Martin’s brick block now is. ,The Sentine! office was up-stairs in the same old ‘wooden building. ‘The tollowing principal officers of Endowment 247, Knights of Pythias, have been DPresident—Peter Barth, Vice- President—William H.

Kaune, on Prospect street, last Mounday ¢ven- inz, in celebration of the S0th birthday of Mrs. P.” Kune, widow of the late Judge Kane of this city, and mother of A. L. Kaue and the host_of the evening. Besides the immediate family, about twenty of the old ladies who had known Mrs. Kape for some thirty years were invited guests. The Rev. Moritz Spitz, who has officiated for some time past as Rabbi in Temple Emmanuel, has accepted an invitation to remove to St. Louis, wbere be will minister to the Reform Congreration B'oai El, of that city. He will enter upon his new dutics Dec. 1. A charming full-dress party was entertained at the residence ot G. N. Lyman, on Grant ave- nue, ‘Chursday evening. . The resolution before the School Board to re- quire_scholars residinz beyond the city limits who have been admitted to the publicschools to pay tuition fces was very properly killed. St. Paul’s Cburch gavea very pleasant recep- tion to Bishop Welles Thursday eveving. Frank W. Montgomery, Cashier of the Singer Manufacturing Company, and Alice B. Norris, cldest daughter of Ars. G. D. Norris, were mar- ried at the residence of the bride’s ‘mozber lasy Wednesday evening. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Georze E. Gordon. Ex-Senator Matt H. Carpeuter has returned to “'xshmfi"lon. Scnator Joe Rankin was in the city a couple of days since election, Heis of opinion that something hapnened in varlous parts of the State clection-day. Nathan Percles, who bad a difficult and deli- cate surgical operation performed sowe mouths ago for an abscess, being nothing less than the removal of a shoulder-blade, apparently recov- cred and was about his business. But he was azain taken ill, and has been confined to his house for several weeks. KATHLEEN'S LAMENT. O dark wes the day when you left me, Mavourneen, To find us » home in the land of the Free, And white was' your check as the fonin on the ow That bore you 50 ewiftly from Erin and me. For the heart in your bosom, ’twas breaking, Mavourneen, And gad were the eyes that you turned on the shore: Those fair glesming bills, in thelr robing of ver- uj re, & O Dermot, my Dermot, you’ll see them no more.

The semi-official Juurnal de St. Petersbourqg says that the war, which inereased the paper. currency by 500,000, 000 uncovered notes.has added 70,009,000 roubles to the annual interest on the natiopal debt. Retrenchment being impossible in any depart- ment, least of all the military, an increase of taxes and customs is wmcmn?nted. The tanft istobe raised once more 15 percent. Anfn- come tax fa to be introduced, and the excise on spirits to be considerably increased. Fresh im- Dosts are to be levied oo railway receiots, lega- cies, conl-imports, tobacco-imports, rold-ex- ports, and other articles. Loans are annouuced to facilitate the withdrawal of the new 500,000,~ 000 notes, and the people are exhorted to im- prove the quality of agricultural exports, 50 as to render comperition with America possible. Negotiations for foreizn loans continue. — ————— LOCAL MISCELLANY. The weather prophets who foretold an early aud cold winter now take on a look of disgust when you speak of the fine weather. 1t is reported that symptoms of the epizootic are making their appearance among the horses in some of the large stables of the city. The ladies of Chicaro have reason to be grate- ful to Ghormley for his enterprise in present- ing them with all the latest novelties in modes and materials as soon as they appearin Lon- don or Paris, and he never overiooks an oppor- tunity to win the favor of his patrons, and at the same time save them a few dollars, If possi- ble. His latest effort in this direction has re- sulted in the securing of a consigninent of mag- nificent fur-lived silk_circulars and dolmaus, which he is actuallv gelling for about balf the amount asked for similar sarments elsewhere. The ladies are_particularly invited to_call and examine these clegant poods before making their purchases. The nights are growing cold and frosty and you never think about locking the front door till after you have put out the light and crawled into bed.” And then—it would shock a burzlar 10 hear your remarks as you stand skivering in the hall feeling for the ke: The puano first made its appearance as a musieal iustrument about the middle of the eighteenth century, and such celebrated com- posers as Haydn and Gluck were satisfied with a cumbersome and unsightly fnstrument with a compass of four and a nalf octaves, and costing a small fortune. It would rathersurprise some of the old masters if they could have seated themselves at onc of the clegant and tasteful Hallet. Davis & Co.’s uprieht pianos which de- light the musiciuns of the present day. Ilow they would haye reveled in the rich tone and verfect mechenical action which bave made these superb pianos so deservedly popular, and how tiiey would “marvel at the low prices at which these beautiful instruments are sold ! Persons who have their tender plants frost bitten may be glad to know that English gar- deners thiaw them out successfully by sprink- ling them copionsly with cold water. Iris a pleasure t~ record a remark made by a prominent lady during a conversation last week. After discoursing upon the fashions, that subject so dear to woman's heart, the talk tarped to teas, when the lady observed, ‘¢ Mr. A. 1. Blackall is the only dealer of whom I can order tcas with any degree of satisfaction.” Although the above is & very flattering tribute to our “old reliable,” it isrepeated daily by thousands who visit _Ins emporium at 49 Clark, and his branch cor, Madison and Halsted streets. Copeliv, the eminent photographer, will make a specialty of holiday pictures this season. In these demoralizing times how long will ft be before a phonograph is detected in uttering forged notes? «Well, Pl divorce vou this time, but mind, not auother decree shall you have from this Court till you are 18,” said a Judge in Sioux City, as he'granted 2 divorce to a petitioner of 16 and awarded ber the custody of the child. Oune of the surest indications of the near ap- proach of the holiday season is the marked in- crease fu the orders for fine biudings now in course of completion at the bookbindery of Messrs. A. J. Cox & Co. These books are de- siened for Christmas and New Year’s prescnts, and the well-known reputation of this firm for superiority and -clegance of workmansbip has gecured for them an unusually Jarge share of this class of work tbis season. A man who was_erowling about hard times was promised a situation paying $15 per day. After muking the bargain be broke it, saying that he should louk for a place where he could geu §20. Messrs. C. P.

The elezant and recherche invitations for many of the most stylish weddinzs and parties of the seasou are now being supplied by Messrs.

San Francisco has one peculiar street-raflroad. 1t is about a mile and n,;mlf long, and runs fu California street over steep Nob Hill, a place of handsome residences. The cost of building it was $800,000, and it has never paid a dividena, but the owners do not mind that, being among the wealthiest men on the Pgeific Coast. The stranger is astonished to sec “tne cars_moving without any_apparent motive power. Between the tracks is a’continuous siit, under which - moves a wire cable. An attachment of each car, operated by nleyer, grips or lets go this cable gs required, and the cable is moved by & powerful eogine underncath the strect. The plan works well, but is very costly. The cable must be coated ancw with tar every two days, as a protection against the rasping of the car- clamps, and even then it wears out completely insix months. The power required is equal to 750 horses. The cars are luxurious, with floors only a foot from the ground, aod with seats d!vi(fl:d futo spaces to prevent crowding. The roadbed, too, is not of an_ordinary kind. A trench was dug, four feet wide and four fert deep, in which beavy V-shaped irons were placed, ten feet apart, and on the tops of these Vs the rails were laid and firmly bolted. The cable and its appurtenances were placed in posi- tion. Then the trench was 6lled with couercte, which became as hard as stone. REAL ESTATE. The Principal Sales of Chicago Realty Last Week—a Firm Market—Unusual Number of Important Building Enterprises in Progress—Loans of the Weck—The San Franeisco Mnarket. Real cstate, as far as the gencral market is concerned, has gone into winter quarters. The season has become too late for beginuing any more important buildings. This fail *HAS BEEN REMARKABLE for the number of noteworthy structures that have been commenced. The princival interest of the week has centered in the progress made in the work on the structures already described, —the Doane building on Wabash avenue, corner of Randolph, the Critly & Blair buflding at the corner of Monroe and Dearborn streets, the new apartment house on Wabash avenue, the pew store on Wabash avenue ncar Adams street, and some other less important buildings. The conundrum of the future tenant of the Singer store is a riddle still unsolved. TReal-estate agents are unanimous in report- ine better inquiry, 2ud a firmer feeling in prices. They look with confidence to a winter of more than usual actinty and to a genuine revival in the spring. Among the sales of the week was one at auction by W. A.

GOUGH. A Scotch Criticiam of Him—TPeculiaritles nnd Power of the Great Temperance Lecturer. North British Jatl, Oct. 15. When John B. Gough stepped forward last night to address the nearly 4,000 persons who were assembled to hear the greatest histriovic orator” of the day, to those who had neither seen nor heard him before he must have been, both in appearance and style, a little disappoint- ing. No portly ficure, no specially prepossess- ing face, no melogious voice greeted them. In place of these we have a man who is 61 years of ace—and who looks it—a somewhat clumsy figure, with no pretension to fashionable costume, & face of rather sallow compiexion, high cheek bones, small eres slightly sunken. - broad under lip, with thick flow- ing whkite hair and beard, the slightest perceptible lisp, . o little tendenc: a burrish- dislect, a voive a trifle husky from wear and tear,—favored with the New Englander’s nasal twaner. he comes forward easily, with his hands imbedded in his trousers pockets, you rather fancy he isa bon vivant than a temperance lecturer,—a tharouchly down- right, plain-spoken, nonest-hearted fellow. who . will grasp your hand, slan vou on the back, and show you all the hospitality his home will af- ford. " There is not 2 bit of the polished orator about him. For some time your impression will be an anxiety for * the blessedness of those who expect nothivz.” For at least a quarter of an hour his style scarcely seems o soar bevond that of refined stump oratory. He declaiins vehemently with angular restures, shouts, and seems fnelined to tear his passion to, tatters. This slight defect really never thoroughly wears off, and, at the close of his hour and a hall’s oration last evening, one rose with the convie- tion that his appeuls, denunciations, and exhor- tations were, though the stroogzest as far as lung and gesture were concerned, the weakest portion of his oratory. Mr. Gough has been spoken of as “a born orator.” Without doubt aborn actor. The instant his descrip- tions bezin you feel you are hstening to ooe who has “smelt the footlights,” but you feel not the less the greatness of the speaker. Al- though his pronunciation is faulty, you do not miss a syllable. His most colloquial portions, though scarcely above a * parlor tone, peue- trated the furtherest recesses of the stupendons hall. Yon feel the power and vigor of his’ im- sgination. It scems to act en rapport. Every man, woman, child. object, or act rising to his braiu is embodied in his tone and features. All seemed to rise simultancously in the mind’s eye of his auditory, as it was seen by him. The power of his art is seen especially in his mimicrs. Mimicry, however, is scarcely the word. He re- proguces the drunken wau—the moderate drinker—the actor who was never drunk—the comic siuger at the City-Hall who mace him Taugh so that he could searcely close his jaws. We venture to say that no man_ living can tell a comic story like Mr. Gough; a fact due, doubtless, to. his having on ‘more than one oceasion smelt the footlights as a low comedian,~which pro- fession he nppeared lust evening to have the rood sense not to deers. Subtle, howerver, as is his humor, it is far exceeded by his more seri- ous efforts. Not his pathos—for there, to our toinking, be is comparatively weak—but in the terrible. the awful, he,issimply grand. No other word will describe it,—although play-goers may better understand it when we compare his pict- ure of a man in delirium tremens to ove of those marvelous touches of intensity and im- passioned realism given latterly by Ristori, of which the tragedy of the late Frederiek Robson was tne reflex. To sec the man who an instant before had been convuising his audience with laughter so chanzed, his eves dilated, his body half pent, his hands elenched. in a word, the fn- carnation for the nonee of madness, the effect wus most appalling. Al this, however, is the result of study. To an experienced eve the tricks of the “orator’s trade are at times apparent. No one who saw and heard last, night his apostrophe to a tumbler could mistake it for spontancity. Not the least marvel conneeted with Mr. Gough is his cnersy. Efforts'which have caused & seem- ingly much stronger mao to. collapse in half the timé had apparcntly little or no cifect on him. From the whirlwind . of passion be was in an in- stant calm, quict, couversational. humorous. At times, for several minutes, the zeal and fire were almost painful, as we thought of the re- action on the morrow, yet we find that in this style be has lectured, at one period of s life, as many as 385 times in 365 days. In conclu- sion, i may be aflirmed, that of all the orators ever beard, none made the time apoear so short s Mr. Gough, so that when, at the expiration of an hour and a lalf, he apologized for' too long an address, the audicnce, by a unanimous, hearty, and continued round ~ of - applause, showed how much longer they could have listened. We mauy sum up this power of Mr. Gough in very few words. Heisso great an actor that we are in doubt as to which is the greater—his 1oss to the stage or hls gaia to the platform. ——— TIME'S CHANGES.
