THE dyke in any shape or condition,
good, bad or Indifferent is a stupendouS
fraud, and an ntolerable nuisance; but be-
sides all that, as a contrivance for stopping
the flow of water, it is an unmitigated
humbug. 1t is just about as efficient for
that purpose, as a rail fence would be. The
current of the st. Louis river pours through
the interstices of the fimsy structure with
vent the St. Louis river from dscharging
at the Duluth canal, is to close the canal
| completely, at once and forever.
SIMMONS, CLoUGH AND Co.'S ORGANS
We are impressed with all we read and
know of the Simmons and CIough Cabinet
Organ. Contrary to the practice Of many
other establishments, this firm have first
made a reputation for their noble instru-
ments and then advertised them. 1t is a
mystery to us outsiders what they are adj
| vertiSing for, as the demand for these or
gans now exceeds the supply. The great
demand for them in fact, has compelled
Messrs. Simmons and Clough to put up a
new mandatory, at cost of nearly $780,
900. This building has been erected this
winter, on the corner of Sixth and Congress
streets, Detroit, Michigan, and will be oc-
cuped May LIST 1872, (next Wednesday,
There are only three instruments of the
Cabinet Organ class in America that we
should feel justified in purchasing: these
are tie Simmons and Clough, the Burdett,
and the E>tey, and of the three we far pre-
| fer the instrument made by Simmons and
Clough. 1t can render all styles Of music

exquisite tremor of fairy bells ~
New Posi- OFFICE AND CUSTOM HOUSE.
If anybody has ever entertained any
uOlDtS dS " lilC SllDliljl VI Oul HoillC iiiSbi
tutions, let him look around at the improve
ments now going on. The sound Of the
hammer and the saw greet us at every
corner.
Prominent among the Improvements now
going on, our attention has been called to
the new Custom House and Post Office
now under construction.
| While Congress has been very liberal, in
its appropriation for harbor Improvements
&C., it has for some cause or other neglect
ell to make any appropriation for our Post
Office and Custom House, though it un-
doubtedly will make some provision for Us
at the next session; yet i'll anticipation OF
this, our worthy p NJ. has, with commend
able liberality and enterprise, resolved to
draw upon his own private resources, and
erect a suitable building, to meet the re-
quirements Of the times; he has according
ly secured a very eligible lot on Second
St, and has entered into contract with II.
Or. Coburn for the erection Of the building.
The contract had hardly been signed and
delivered before our friend Allen was on
the ground with a crew of picked men,
every one of whom had "push" strongly
marked on his countenance, and the found
alton was laid as if by magic.
Mr.. Allen informs us that their planning
mill will be taxed to its utmost capacity tc
tb,o I,il bo
terials so as to have it ready at the time
specified, but with that indomitable energy
which seems to be handed down from mas
ter to man, we have no doubt but that the
job will be accomplished in lhe specified
time.
The first floor of the maiE building, which
covers superficial area Of 600 square feet
will be used as a Post Office, and until tn,
upper story is completed, the business OF
the Gus ON House will be transacted or
this floor.
We understand also, that the &c Etna In
surance Co. of Har ford" and the Andes
of CINCINNATI" two of the most reliable
Companies in the country, and also The
National Life ms. Co. of w ashiugton DAY
f Cookies Coz have applied for desk room
and until the basement shall be completed
which will be next fail. they will be accom-.
) modated on the first floor.
Such enterprises rs this give tone and
character to place, and we would say to
our citizens who have abundant capital
$ 90 and do likewise"
