The system of careful observations (now

Houston and Mr.. Newton, to elicit the
facts relative to the questions now leopard
izing the peaceful relations of the States of

have preceded, rather than followed, the
wanton aggressions of Duluth, but it is not

NEW York appears to be getting alarmed at the

reason for the alarm. During the week ending May

sl9 bushels while in the period the shipment to
Buffalo only CSC, l42 bushels Other products of
the northwest also being shipped to Canadian ports
in large quantities. The Dominion government,
with forethought, is spending large amount of
money in improving the St Lawrence canals for the
purpose of promoting this trade. Unless the New
Workers wake up the necessity of enlagng the Erie
canal and lowering the reghts great portion of the

PROSPECTS ATTiYLORS FAILS.

THE Taylor's Falls Exporter waxing de-
spondent over the prospect of the long
time required for the amelioration of the
viscera of compassion possessed by Caleb
Cushing, talketh thusly:
The Superior Times SAYS something about Caleb
Gushing letting up that things here be gotten
into shape to be improved. Let understand first
last that when the face of becomes changed
the Jews called into the covenant, the gospel is
preached to the ends Of the EARTH the turned
TO blood the is darkened the stars are fallen the
elements melted with fervent heat the heavens passed
away, and the earth dissolved in word at the crack
of doom, then and not till then, will Caleb Gushing
let up. Probably not then, but the rock of offense
will be removed late for any material benefit to
this section of the st. Croix Valley.
We have never had the honor of seeing
Mr.. Gushing, but Judging from a portrait
of the gentleman lately published in one of
the illustrated papers, we should say that
if the size and set of the lower jaw is any
index of tenacity of purpose, Mr.. c. ,could
be rather slow to change any plan he had
once formed. But, like other men, he can
be moved by his own interest. \ railroad
to, and through, Taylor'S Falls is what the
people of that section need. That will
bring up values and induce action, if any
thing will.
We hope the Reporter will assist in the
good work of stirring up the st. Croix
valley and neghboring interests, to the i'm
portance of securing an Immediate airline
railway connection with the head of Lake
Superior at this place. 1t will prove the
cheapest and speediest way of cutting the
Gordian knot that has so long bound the
Northwest to the SPECTATORS yoke.

Since the decision Of Judge Miller
denying jurisdiction of the Circuit Court,

The subjects of controversy, and the proceedings in
court before employment, are briefly, follows
Early in 1870, the city of Duluth and the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company commenced excavating a
canal near the city of Duluth and across Minnesota
Point BY which the waters of said river would be d

Harbor, in this state A suit first brought, by a
riparian proprietor in the state court of Minnesota
for Injunction to prevent such diversion OF the

A Valuable Recent.

- AsOOSsRss
There is time for everything, and
this is the time of the year to make soap.
However, some energetic persons are anx.
ious to begin this dsleotable employmcn,
a month or two earlier, and generally
select windy day near the last of Feb
ruGry to "put up" the hopper, upon which
they pour hot water by tho barrel full
every morning, that freezes every night
until good snowy day comes, when after
trying in vain to get the kettle to boil
out of doors, the whole concern is brough,
into the kitchen aud the soap finished of
on the cooking stove. But as those
sprightly persons are mostly sick in the
bed by this time, they will not need the
following receipt
Begin about the last of March, politely
to requst your husband, if you have one
If not, any other male member Of the
family will do--to "put up the ash hop
per. He will not comply with your re-
quest the first time you ask him, nor the
second time, either nor the third, nor the
fourth. "Politsness costs little" yes, very
little, and makes very little in the way Of
soap, aud the sooner you get up do
mestic storm Of viudictive character,
the sooner you will get the hopper "up. u
After this much is accomplished you can
subside, and gently hi ut that "that there
hopper" nesds some water on it. He
will generally put on couple of buckets
full to start with. After day or SO,
remind him Of it again, and in case he
shall prove refractory, try a little "sof
SOAP" provided you have any left frou
last year. 1t will generally prove sue
cessful.
You can now wait few more Jays to
see if it will rain if not, get somebody
to put on another bucketful Of water
When you have enough lye run off, selcc
a nice, windy, cloudy day; ask somebody te
hunt up the soap grease, and somebody
else to make q fire under the kettle. By
this time it will have begun to rain and
the business can be suspended until an
other day. Cover up the lye, if you car
think of it, to keep out the rain, and the
grease to keep out the dogs. Wait sew
eral days to get rested, as soap making il
apt to prove a tirssoue business, and
when you feel fright smart" some morn
ing, ask somebody to start the fire again
and when the lye gets to boiling put in
an egg, then take it out again, and put in
feather and taste it !; after which the
grease may be added. Put all you eau
get into the kettle and stir it with sas
safras stick. After it has boiled about
half day you will be able to observe
that there is either too much grease or
lye in the kettle. If you cannot tell
which it is, you had better send for some.
body that can, after which your respon
sibility ceases, and if the soap is not good,
somebody else will BE- to blame.
You "BET."

There are . number Of words in the
English language, each of which contains
all the five regular vowels, but it would
puzzle almost any ono to think of more
than one or two at short notice. The
following may be given as examples :
Education, reputation, regulation, emula.
ton, perturbation, mensuration, rspudia.
tion. Besides these there are several
words each containing all the vowels,
including tho ~" Of these We may
mention revolutionary, eloeutionary aud
unqusstiouably. The word invisibility
may be noted a. peculiar word, for il
contains the letter 81" six times. Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee are each spelled
with only four different letters of the
althouh one contains eleven
letters and the other nine. Schnapps, q
word of one syllable aud eight let.ess,
contains but one vowel. There ave no
words in the English language Of uose
than eight syllables. and of those con.
