That it isnot a safe thing to have the note good s which DANGEROVS vripting of the government done outside of Washington by ‘the New York bank note companies is shown by the following tele- gram from Portland, Me., February the New York Tritme: “Consiberable un- easiness exists over the discovery of some couaterfeit bonds of the Leeds and Farming- ton railroad.

Dear Star:—At \ast we are safely housed in the Cream city. I will not dwell on our trip from home, the very remembrance of the miserable weather, snowy and windy, in- fiicting numerovs delays, thrusts out all desire to relate it. It was snowing likewise When at noon we rolled into the great wheat mart of the Wesi. Emerging from the warm cars we were greeted with a temperature of | about ten degrees below zero. At that. time | we were not yet hardened _ to the cold blasis our tender Washington skin, so exceedingly delicate, causing us much ‘disquiet. Tue evening found us at the Plinkinton, which ip its appointments and general manaze- ment compares very favorably with eastern hotels. Next day ‘the weather moderated considerably and We sailed forth, sight-seeing Emerging on Spring street, the prinejpal thoronghfare of the city, we passed to the opposite side of the Milwaukee river, when il changes its name to Wisconsin street, and on which some of the finest business houses are situated. The dry goods house of T. A Chapman & Co., far-famed as the leading merchants in their line in the west, is on the south side of this street, their daily receipts sometimes, Ihave been told, ranging as high as $15.00. Other houses of lesser ote are on both sides of the street. Diago- nally opposite Chapman's is’ the eustom house, which has just been opened to the public, after undergoing an entire renov tion. ‘The Post Office on the lower floor, is very elegantly fitted up, and it is with a fast pride that Milwaukeeans boast of their new office. The custom office on the upper floors, are unique, the .eparate rooms each appor- toned to a distinet purpose, being richly carpeted and wainscoted with wainut. The building of the Northwestern Mut Life Insurance company at ihe corner of Wiscon- sin and Broedway streets, is a chef Wouvre of architectural skill. Itis of Michigan gran- ite, and the facings are of Tennessee marble; two pillars of the latter support an arching portico at the main entrance. We were very politely shown around in those portions of the insurance rooms open to the public. On the *South Side,” the most noticeable yeatures are three Immense steam elevators, their individual ceeding 1,000,000 bushels of is, however, the manufacturing dis- trict, andwe pass to the more north erly portion of the city The Presby- terlans of Milwaukee rejoice in a new and imposing edifice, erected at a cost of above $200,000. The style is Gothic, and the church possesses in addition many internal adorn- ments. The organ is likewise of great volume and power, whilst the choir com- prises some of the best vocal talent of the northwest. The city, the housesof which are principally built with brick of a peculiar, creamy-yellow color, presents a quaint, characteristic appearance, yet the eifect is not displeasing. The greater portion of the inhabitan are Teutons, although, it ts es sentially osmospolitan town, even Chinese are to be found, to wit: “Chan Wang, Chinese Laundry.” We attended, that is the sterner portion of us, the speech of Senator Carpenter in the Academy of Music, last week, and it was like hearing an old friend speak, to listen to him. We had listened with pleasure in the Senate chamber; we did so here, to his vin«di- cation, and with it of his party. It was a well-directed appeal to the working-classes— it was appreciated and applauded. I heard humbers say: “Carpenter is to-day a more yosotar man than he ever was in his life.” he house was densely packed, numbers turned homeward, a little too late—not an auditor willing to lose perhaps the last nee of hearing the “great Senator.” Since we have been here we have noticed one pecuniiar trait of the inhabitants—in fair weather they stay at home; let it snow, and the fairsex are in numberson the streets. warmly wrapped, but regardless of weathe . eer they seem to delight in braying the jakes. Balls and rties are very numerous, and we, having good chaperonage, were lucky enough to obtain entrance to some of them. But I must really close, aad beg of you to permit me to retain the description of our social escapades untilournext. Yours, EK The Tilton-Beecher Trial. KATE CARY CROSS-EXAMINED. After our telegraphic report of the Tilton- Beecher trial closed yesterday, Mrs. Cary testified that she did not remember being discharged from several places on account o intemperance, and that she never remem bered saying Mrs. Tilton was a perfect lad. She said: “never lcdged or lived at Eli Keese's residence; on second thaugnts I now remember it; it is a servant's boarding house; I was not sent away on account o drunken habits, but Mrs. Keese could drink her share if I would pay for it, like all the lodging-house keepers; I have not lived oat steady for a year on account Of ill-health; 1 remember living with Mr. Motley in Harlem about two mouths last summer; I left Mot- ley’s place on account of intoxication; I never said that I never saw anything wrong between Beecher and Mrs. Tilton, but that I could make up a story about them and so secure @ good place for myself.” After recess, Mr. rangement that G racy should open the case for the defence to-day. 1A.—A Virginia paper re) E colored maids at the deaf, dumb and blind asylum in unton last week put a shaw! belonging to eof the pupils on her shoulders with the tion Of wearing it. Being ordered to ake it off, she said that it was as much hers | as anybody’s—that the state paid for it, and | that her right to it was as goo as that of the | scholar who wore it—the “civilized bill” being passed, which made state property common property. This extraordinary stand taken by an employe was reported to Cap- tain Mel the superintendent, who, after an examination, ordered her to be paid up and discharged. FATALLY STABBED IN THE E —Robt. Farrell died yesterday from a stab in the eye with @ pitchfork in the hands of John vazier. Themen were loading manure at Carry’s stable, at 157 Monroe street, on atuniay. Farrell, who had been on the load, got down into the manure pit to relieve Fra- zier, without giving notice of his intention.
