THE ZERO AND TUE DYKE.-On Wednes-
day last, Capt. Tanner Of ice little ferry
steamer Zero, finding that clear breach
had been made by the current and waves,
in the rickety concern called the dyke, went
through with his boat, without displacing
single stick that was fixed in the structure,
and then went on to Duluth, where he was
met by two very excited individuals, Mir.
Luce, mayor, and Col. Culver, exmayor, OF
that pretentious burgh, demanding to know
how he had forced passage through the
dyke. Having been informed by him, that
without removing any part of the dy Ike, he
came through gap made as above stated,
they insultingly affected to disbelieve him,
and threatened him with summary arrest
and punishment, and peremptorily forbade
his coming to that port again by that route.
Nevertheless he has continued his trips
ever since by the same route, the opening
having by this time, from the causes above
mentioned, increased to n width of about
one hundred feet. Meanwhile these two
Duluth dignitaries seemed to have aban-
doned their ferocious designs on the Cap
tain. And really the "little brief authorl
ty," which sometimes impels men to "play
such fantastic tricks" Sc, was seldom if
ever more emphatically satirized, than it
was by the conduct in this instance of these
two worthless Here were two of the real
wrong-doers in the case--unquestionably la
bic to civil action, at the suit of Capt.
Tanner or any other vessel owner, for OBJ
structing the navigation of the bay-swag-
gering and clustering, and launching iurl
Gus threats at the innocent victim of their
lawlessness! Such impotence would be
sublime, if it were not also despcable and
ridiculous. The facts related above, were
given to us by a passenger on the Zero.
The modest Captain is rather reticent.
