From Qur Owen Carrespondent. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 30-—To-morrow is the flrst month of winter, and the last of the year, and some sage reflections arc in order. They come 1rom a careful canvass of the social reports of Thanksgiviog-Day. There was doubtless plenty 10 eat on most tubles. There were many quiet, ooda dinners at which the home houschold had extra dishes and daiuties, to show that the oc- casion was a festive one. But the dincer par- ties, the formal “‘spreads,” where s full com- pany, in full dress, sat down to 2 fuil fesst, with half a dozen courses and threc kinds of wine, were not numerous. Even the smaller gatherings, where a big turkey or two and two otber kinds of meat avd extra dishes furnished a Jess pretentions feast for a halt dozen or so of neighibors, were much less numerous than in former years. The fact is that a comfortable Thauksgiving dioner for a half a dozen puests besides the family, or even for two or three, as the same parade and amounts of edibles are required, costs from 15 1o £25 extra, and the bouqll_xer.s cost from $50to £100 and from that up. The expenditures are oL sseasv as they were in * flush times.” Economyis the road out of debt, and thus far the large majority of people are following it. The mun who has a business or a profession in hich he was reasonably prosperous a fuw years . vow finds it difficult to make both ‘ends mect. Those most lavish in expenditure a few years agohave had to teke in sail. The men aire few, and belone to a few classes, who can aiTord to be hospitable. The men of accumn- lated wealth, well investeq, the officers of the reat corporations, the few professional men Why encToss what profitable business there is, the Licads of a few houses in a few lincs of busi- niess, are mainly the ones Who have the means 1o cutertain company in something like the liberal style of ten vears since. Men on salaries i ech oblized to suffer a reduction; tbose e find Jordan “ahard road to trabbel;? inufacturers are wondering if the bottom ever il be reached; all alike are fecling the pressure. and suflering {from the vicissitudes of hard times. Hence, but little turkey was eaten to<day in Milwaukee atother people’s expense. The lurze dinner partics, and even the parties with cuests limited as to umber, were scarce. The sound of revelry did not breaks out boisterously. + Still. in thousands of quiet homes, a better tuble than usual was spread: the family gath- ered about the bountifuily-laden bourd, and 1bere was mirth and bilarity that were good to sec and enjoy. HARD TIMES IN MILWAUKEE. Whetier the hard times have been felt as op- pressively in Milwaukee as elsewhere is some- times questioned, At least the course of finan- cisl and business depression has been an eccen- tric one. For reasons, some of which are obvious and some of which are not so obrions, the panic ot 1573 did not strike Milwaukee with full force in that year. One reason was that the Chicago fire of 1871 bad driver: a vast amount ot business, especially in manufactures and pro- duction, to Milwaukee, a portion of which stiliat. that time remained here. The mercuntile busi- ness of Milwaukee flourished immensely while the Chicago market was closed, and it received sn impetus which carried it up and over thefirst wave of the punic. During the two years after” c Chicazo fire, every branch of business in ilwaukec had an animstion, a bustle, and an activity about like an arsenal in war times; the ‘prosperity was creater than at any time during the War or following it. The stimulus which ry branch of trade and industry had received prevented the shock of the panie from being. 1elt 5o severely, asaman full of the stimulus of whisky does not foel and may survive the poisonous bite of a reptile. In addition to that, - tbe wheat harvest of 18@ was exceptionaily _ro0d in Wisconsin, and was exceptionally bad nearly everywhere else. If people could buy wothine elsc, under the first stress of the gale, ihey bad to buy bread, and the price was high; acd Wisconsin bad it to sell, while it could be hougbt with difficultv clsewhere. This heined to tide Milwaukee over the first mooths or the first vear of the crisis. Besides, this had al- ways been a conservative place as to husiness. Specnlation never ran_ hirh morin wild chan- nels; and there were but few balloon enter- prises 1o sufler from collapse. But the revival did not come clsewhere. The sbrinkage in values continued throughout the country. Tne Gepression grew more heavy, and settled with a greater weight. One prosperous oasis could not existin the desert of bankraptey and gen- crai proswration. The blight struck Wisconsin aud, Milwaukee i the faill'of 1574, and it grew worse in 1875, and it has been growing no bet- ter ever since. Exeept in the iron trade there have been few orno great failures. But many men weathered the stormy period with difticui- 1y and arenot yet safein habor; all are yet laboring against the pinching influcnces which are felt everywhere throughout the countrs, and in fact throuzhout the commercial world. Peeple geuerally think that hard'pan bas been T ed; that things caunot be worse, and must. now mend; and that with the financial question stttled, a period of renewced prosperity is ubout 1o dawn.on the country. May tha be true. = Y ARE WAKING UP. The city autborities have at last got as far as talking about the city sewerage system. What do vou suppose the present system is? It is to turn the filth, the waste, the feculence, and the westilential discharges of 110,000 people into Milwaukee River, which flows, or rather welters, alonz dowu through the middle of the city, from its extreme upper litwits past its fie resi- deuces, matafactorics, and stores, to the lake. ‘There the city filth, diluted by the river water, drifts, floats, and ovzes out into tbe lake, and every breeze from the south that lasts twenty- four hours wafts the fearful mass towards the subply-pive, though whick the lake waterenters to the pumpivg-works, to be raised to the reser- vuir for distribution throushout the city. This is a Im&ueut. subject for comment in'the city press, aud in all the correspondence from here; and it is a2 subject which ought to #row on and into tie minds of cvery resident of Milwaukee. - The blame rests upon the totally idiotic way in which both the scwerage ard ‘water supply were planned. The water oushic to bave come from two mailes furiber north, bevond the North Paoiut, in Winteish Bay. The additional would not have been §50,000, probably 5000, It would sim&ul\- have been the of tise bigz main thut distance, and no fig- s arc at Land to stiow thecost of two iniles of three-fuor main. With the pipe into the lake locited shere, and the pumpics-works there, 1hie Norzh Point would have served as a perpet- ual barrier st the tide "of sewerage which vow flgws out’ from the river, floats up joside the Polut, and contaminates the source of water subply. Now, it will cost a quurter of & million dollars to move the pumping works to Where they wili have to be moved. 1diocy in locating the Water-Works was cqualed by thie idiocr in vlanning the sewerage system. The main sewers should have run into the river, ex- cept near its mouth, where it debauches into the lake. Now all the main sewers run into the river at the lower ends of the orincipal streets, rowing floods of the vilest filth into the stream of water which disides the city B ¢ midale. As if this were Lot sudlicient, the samne totally brainless ‘policy emptied a mammoth sewer jnto the river above e dam, wuere i broadens into a beautifol gheet of water, covered by pleasure-partics in boats in summer, the Jocation of two or three swimming-schools, and from which the ice tor suppites has Ucrctofore been taken in win- A distance of forty rods would have ear. ried this sewer where it ‘would have entered the nver below the dam: but the plan made it Saver the nver at North-street. bridee, just \hete pleasure-parties embark fn the fmoon: sliny evenings between May and October, and Jjust under North-street bridee, which isone of the finest promenades in the city The present cure for the nuisance and curse of this bad systewn is to run a_main sewer down the river upon cach bank, and let the east-and- Wwest sewers cmipty into them, so that the sewage will be carred well to the mouth of the river. Prof. Haskins' plan of then flush- ing the river occssionally, when the winds increase the outflow, will probably be the best ihingr that can be done to abate the awful cvils ~which are in part already upon us, and which in part threaten us in the future. A committee of toe Common Council huve the subject in hand. May they act wise A NEW CHARITY. A Deaf and Dumb Institute has been built by ihe mood Catholies at St. ¥rancis, where their splendid seminary is located, a few miles south of the city. The buildiug was completed a few weeks ago, and was formally dedicated to its permanent uses Thanksgiving Day. 1t is built of brick with stone facings, is forty feet by sev- euty onthe ground, and two stories high, with a basement. Religious scrvices of a solemn and impressive character were beld at the dedication. The ceremovuics were under -the immediate charge of the venerable Archbishop Henui, as- sisted by Fathers Kampschure, Eiskamp, and Wopethorst. Poutifical high mass wasecle- brated, and -addresses were detivered appro- priate to_the occasion. The probabilities are that this Deafl and Dumb Institute wil) not be disgraced by any of the kind of doings which have made Delavan notorious, or, if such things should be done, they will not be whitewashed. 3 OUR CITY BRIDGES. One of the eve-sores of Milwaukee is its bridge system. Several of the most important bridees in the river are the huge and unwieldly viles of lumber erccted a quarter of a century awo, set just above the water, so that they have to be opened not only for vessels, but for every passing tug, obstructing travel on some of the busies: streets of the city in the busicst part of the day; 2nd they are so often open that acel- deunts are more frequent, some of which are serious.. 1t is a wonder, too, that the accidents are not more numerous; for the hurrying crowds of men, women, and children, some with heavy burdeus, jostling azainst cach other, and meeting at the edge of the draw, cach of the twenty or filty times a day that the bridee is opened, often cause alarni and screams of warn- iug, which only aggravate the confusion. Inthe burry to cross as the bridge closes similar startline scenes oceur, and why hundreds do not fall jnto the river, or are not crushed each sea- son, is a cause for astonishment. The loss caused by the delay in crowds of men and teams waiting"to cross these rickety old brdees, is, when it is considered, enormous. For every minute that sixty persons are detained by an open bridge, an hour’s lost time is to be count- ed. Thesc bridges are open, on an average, ten minutes, which for each sixty persons is ten hours, or one day’s lost time for the men and their teams. Considering how many times a day, and continuously. Soring street and Me- nominee bridge are ‘open in the season of n: gation, the lost time amounts to hundreds’of days’ work in each month. This 18 an actual, dead loss to_ productive fudustry, and would amount in a short time to a sum suflicient to pay the interest onethe cost of new bridges. The East Water street (or Walker’s Point) bridge is a hizh one, but is almost continually out of repair; is of wood so re-planked and patched as to be of cnormous iweight, and las long survived its usefulness. Huron street bridze is of irou, but is low down on the water, Menominee and Spring street bridges are nnmitigated nuisances. There should be crected at each of these crossiugs bigh, airy bridges of ron, like the Broadway and Buflalo street bridees. The longer the work is delayed the more expensive will be the work by the’in- creased amount of damages caused by the ele- vated approaches, aud the more diticalt it will De to procure general consent for the work. Less pavinz on the back strects and better bridges in the business part of the city would be aood policy to adopt. The Oneida street bridge is a nuisance, but as the travel across it is less, the call 15 not ss loud tor 4 new bridge to be immediately built. But ‘tne case there is bad enough, aud an early meas- sure of relief will be acceptable. A MODEL PARDON BROKER. It has just transpired that a well-known polz tician of the low-down order named Martin Mcuoy has been for years doine 8’more or less successful business as a pardon broker. It is told with some demonstration of grim humor that he imposed on 50 grave and reserved a man as Gov. Washburn, and procured severai pardons {for criminals from that distinguished Executive. His plan is the ordinary one, except that he ap- pears only as an industrious circulator of peti- tions -for the convict’s pardon. Armed with these petitions, he can procure throuzh some agency the good oflices of an influential poli- tician, by whom the signatures of the Prosecut- ing-Attorney and the Judge who sentenced the criminal will be secured, or the Governor will be persuaded to interpose his pardon without these formalities. 3McCov would never think of prescuting bimself to the Governor for a pardon, and would never ask a Judge tosign the ‘papers. But the hasa grotesque sort of cunning and a greasy impudence in potitics which enables bim to” secure influcuces where berter men would fail. 1t is said that in several instances he has been paid $200 or $300 for this class of services. He fs a disreputable man, who has acquired considerable propertv by these vractices, and by always holding his hands be- hind him when campaign funds are being dis- tributed. It was only by an accident that his dealings with statesmen came to public knowl- edge, a5 he has managad his affairs with consid- erable skill, never procuring the same azency more than once in his ventures. It is easy to pick up these jobs, as there is alinost always somehody in the House of Cerrection with a few hundred dollars to spare for such purpose, whicn be will gladly pay for his liberty if he can get it. Inarecent case Gov. William £. Smh absolutely refused to issue a pardon on & jong petition of the most respectable uames unless Judge Mallory would assent to the exercise of the cfemency which was asked. 1t transpired, ou investigating the sources of the application, that McCoy was the busy pardon broker in the case. The Judge's assent was not given, and the pardon did vot issue. Gov. Washburn once wrote to intimate friends in this city askine as to the character of McCoy. It trauspired by that means that the mysteri- ous influence procuring so much executive mer- ¢y was the individual in question. His occupa- tion is now gone. LEGAL POINTS. In speaking of the insurance law of this State, the Milwaukee letter in Jast Sunday’s TRIBUNE represcnted it 8 providing in all cases that the sum written in the policy shall be the measure of damages which the Company must pay in casc of a total loss by fire. It appears that this provision only relates to real property,~to buildings on lands. So a grasping insurance agent can insure a stock of roods and extort a premium to as great an amount as his victim will stand, and.in case of total destruction by fire the Company is only compelled to pay the | actual amount of ‘the loss. Mary ¥. Gregory has sccured her divorce from Albert Gregory.. X ‘There is a curious case before the Criminal Court. Aboyon the West Side was bitten several weeks agobya dog. Dr. Alois Grat- tinger, awell known Germian physician, was called, and preseribed an application of carbolic acid. He says Iic told the woman to dilute the acid, and what proportion of water to add 1or that purposc. As to this fact, there is no tes- timony but_the statement of the Doctor. The woman applicd the acid at full strength, and it so corroded the wound that the boy died in con- conscquence. The Doctor was prosecuted for malpractice, and has been bound over to stand his triol for manslaughter. Itisdue to Dr. Grattinger tosay thatail the probabilities are amainst Dis_having made the terrible mistake charwed. He i3 a” learned, skillful, and careful physician, and if be made any mistake it was in over-rating the intellizence of the mother of the boy. 5| A carnishee suit in the Circnit Court involves anew point of Jaw.

Subserip- tions arc asked with proposals for a hall. A ludicrous affair occurred last week. The various incidents were in the city papes but the wholc thing was not artistically grouped. A Mrs. Schultz, livinz some fiftcen miles south- west of the city; coming futo sowa in the early mornine on her loaded wagon, saw in the road an object wrapped in a white cloth. She stopped, got down to the ground, pulied open one fold of the white covering, and bustened co tiie eity to tell in thé market-place where she was selling her truck that she had seen in the road, and nearly run over, 8 dead baby thrown there by some inhuman parent. - At sbout that hour a German farmer, named Casar, who lived out in that dircction, and bad come into town at an carlier hour, was procuring the fnsertion in the newspapers of an advertisement that he had lost from bis load a five far coon, skinned and dressed, which he bad caueht the day be- fore, and had prepared to bring to a restadranz- keeper in the ¢ It had wumbled from his wagen, and he had offered a liberal reward to the finder. About that time a third party,— s one a woman,—appeared on the scene; she had found the coon ncatly wrapped in white cloth; had been couragevus enouwh to open the package, had identified the animal, and she re- stored it to the owner. The wotnan who thought she had found a baby retired in confu- sion.
