GREAsING WAGONs.-But few are aware that
they do wagons and carriages more injury by
greasing too plentifully than in any other way.
A well-made wheel will endure common wear
from ten to twenty five years, if care is taken to
use the right kind and proper amount Of grease;
but if this matter is not attended to, they will
be used up in five six years. Lard should new
er be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the
hub and work its way out arOnnd the lemons of
the spOkes, and spoil the wheel. Tallow is the
hest lubricator for wood axletrees, and castor-ol
for iron.
just enough grease should be applied to the
spindle of wagon to give it light coating. This
is better than more, for the surplus put on will
work out at the ends, and be forced by the shoul-
der-bands and nut washers into the hubs around
the outside of the boxes.
To oil an iron axletree, first wipe the spindle
clean with cloth wet with spirits Of turpentine,
and then apply few drops of castor-oil near
the shoulder and end. One teaspOonfnl is suffi-
cient for the whole.-OAiO Farmer.

There's no time like the old time. when you and were

When the binds Of April bossomed and the birds Of Spring

The gardens brightest glores by Summer nursed
But oh the sweet sweet vioe the flowers that opened

There's place like the old place. where you and
born
Where lifted first eyelids the splendors Of the
morn
From the milk breast that warmed from the cling

Where the dear eye gttered DER that win look

There's love like the old love- that courted in
pride
Though leaves falling falling and we're fading side

There blossoms all around u.s. with the colors Of

And live in borrowed sunshine when the light Of day
gone.
There times like the old times-they shall never be

A NEW PHASE IN THE INJUNCTION PROCEED
INGS.

Information was received at this place
yesterday, that the L. S. Attorney General
at the request OF the Secretary of War, has
instructed Mr. Davis, L. 5. District Attor-
ney at St. Paul, to consent to a suspension
of the injunction against the Duluth canal,
on condition that the City Of Duluth will
give bonds in the sum of 800, 900 to com
plete dy Ike across the bay between Rice
Point and Minnesota Point, on or before
the first day Of December next. If this in
formation is true, 1t remains now tor the
State of Wisconsin TO act on its own behalf,
assert its own rights, and commence pro-
ceedings through Attorneys whose manage
ment of the case, will be dictated by the
State, and not by the departmental officers.
The construc ton of a dyke would be an
outrage no less fragrant than the excavation
of canal. 1t would be an obstruction of
the free navigation of our bay, not justified
by any proper commercial exlgency. Wis
consin and Superior, as we'll as Minnesota
and Duluth, are interested in this matte f,
and it is to be regretted that the represent

THE SUPERIOR HARBoR CONTEST.

The importance OF the harDOr at Superior,
the to State OF Wisconsin, is derived from
the fact that it is the first lodgnent on the
Northern Pacific railroad at the head OF
Lake Superior; while 1t is seven miles far
thcr east than Duluth; it being twenty-seven
miles from the Junction of the St. Paul and
Lake Superior with the n L. railroad, TO
Duluth, over heavy grades and sharp
curves, while from the same Junction to
Superior it is twenty-three miles Of direct
line and light grades.
The temporary Iodgment being at Duluth
by using p miles of the St. Paul road,
stimulates the Depot owners to use every
means in their power, to renler the superior
harbor by artificial appliances solely avail
able to Duluth, and If possible retard if not
destroy, the Government works at the nat
ural entry.

900 were appropriated in l869-70, and last
winter the appropriation was not only op-
posed, but in the last hours of the session
sixty thousand dollars were toisted into /

ANOTHER LNTERESTLNG LETTER FROM

CHICAGO, June oQ, 1871.
Editor Superior Times:
Dear Sir After my previous long letters had not
thought to bother you with any further correspon-
dence, but having leisure hour on this my last dav
in the city, resist the temptation to gather
up few fragments of notions and experiences incident
to my stay in Chicago, the risk of being unin-
teresting to all save few personal friends.
During the greater part of my sojourn here | have
been pleasantly entertained at the home of J. H. Hui
burd Esq, 26S Park Avenue. Mr. H. is of the firm of
Hulburd, Herrck and Co., l68 Randolph Street deal
in hardware and cutlery and if he his
toners kindly as his guests, which certainly have
to doubt, he must eventually build up a
great trade in this busy city Mr. Hulburd is a rela-
tive of Mrs r. C. Mitchell of Duluth through whose
kind mother l received the special invitation and in
PRODUCTION which made guest during the busy
session of the Assembly in this pleasant Christian
family circle.
During my stay with Mr. H., found acquaintances
in the neighborhood; Mrs. Glen Wood, 243 Park Av-
enue, wife of the well known Chicago Agent of the
American Tract Society. Also Mr. J. A. McHenrv
and family, friends known and loved in other days

able to ascertain their exact whereabouts in this mod

was as well that this was so for the time as the As

tng and sightseeing, which the company of near
friends very naturally suggests
However since the session which expired Wednesday
noon have spent several days in my friends society
doing Chicago, and enjoying life a visitor merely.
We rode yesterday the water works and viewed

IN this direction as extremely encouraging.
We have full confidence that our large

than vindicate their averments, and most

than vindicate their averments, and most
signally impeach their opponents
But first, as to the envy of Superior: the
tact Is patent, that among the active oppo-
nents of the canal are citizens of Duuth,
and Minnesota who own vastly more pro,
perty there than the whole land ring, who
for but a brief period have control of the
harbor faacy, and squandering the
corporate credit.
That the Government engineers knoao
their business, we give the results of sur
vey on the Merrimac River Z. S. Coast
Survey 1867 PIP 10 DC. where the text
tables and drawings in appendix, disclose a
state of facts Identical with the St Lonis
river in question. Here we have table
and profile, giving distance, shape Of bot
tom, f;al and velocity of water, and the re-
suit is g For period near time of high [tidel I
"water we found a velocity Of 100 nauti-
zeal miles per hour, corresponding to a
" slope of OIL feet per 1000; at period near
SLOW water a mean velocity of % nau' zeal
''miles with a slope of 2 feet per 1000 y
This normal state IF the river does not take
into account the rise and fall of the river
supply. The depth of the river under the
observed surface is from ten to fifteen feet !;
and nowhere narrower than the St. Louis
at Rice's Point, nor near 50 narrow as be-
tween Minnesota and Wisconsin Points.
The morn al fall as above stated, gives the
elevation of the water surface at Rice's
Point, five and half miles from our entry,
the head which secured out the Duluth Ca
nal where the water had but one and a half
miles to flow.
But the crowning testimony against the
defendants is the catching them i,e their
oac1a steoltrap. They have chafed and Won
iered Why the injunctiona order entered
2ith May was not Immediately served upon
them. Mean time they have dug and dely
ell, fought the Lake breaker action, enlarg-
ed the opening, chucked in their cribs and
almost daily sent to the old entry, measured
the water on the bar and ascertained tie
1aCt Jnat tHere Is scarcely seven lett sound
ings. Testimony to this effect they are
carefully nursing to show to the Court the
worthIeSsness Of the shallow natural entry,
and the absolute necessity of commerce for
the Duluth cutoff But these are the facts
developed; that before the opening OF the
cutoff, when the Lake was five inches lower
than it now is, the Arctic passed out III nine
feet water over the bar; since the opening
of the cutoff the river waters have rushed
out, and the want Of its force at the entry,
has resulted in the daily increase of the bar
so that there now is scarcely seven and a
halt feet, an absolute accretion Of twenty
three inches upon the bar by reason of the
loss Of water through the Duluth canal
The perculation sworn to by the Deten
dents engineers; is proved a my til from The
fact that now the mud end of the bay at the
canal has two feet less water than before
the canal was preached through.
