The Lake Superior Ship Canal Case
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The Lake Superior Ship Canal case
has recently been before the Supreme
Court at Washington. It will be re-
membered that decree was granted
last summer by Judge Swayne. sitting
IN the United States Circuit Court in
this city, of upwards of a million dol
lars upon one of the mortgages made
by the Canal Company to secure it's
bonds. From this decree the assignees
in bankruptcy of the company determin-
ed to appeal for the benefit OF bond
holders under subsequent mortgages,
and all parties in interest. The
bondholders who had obtained
the decree. in order to pre-
vent an appeal, and to secure a
speedy sale of the valuable property of
the company, consisting of the canal
and the iron and pine lands, insisted, at
hearing before Judge Swayne, that an
appeal bond should be given in very
large amount, sufficient to cover interest
on the decree while the case was pend
ing in the Supreme Court. Judge
Swayne, however, regarding the prop
erty covered by the decree as sufficient
security, fixed the amount of the bond
at $4,000, and the appeal was per-
fected. The bondholders who had
obtained the decree were dissatis-
fed with this, aud lately made motion,
in the Supreme Court at Washing
ton, to increase the amount of the bond,
insisting that it should be at least $780,
900. They filed affidavits tending to
depreciate the value of the property.
In opposition to this motion J. W. Ed
monds York, of the Detroit bar, repre-
senting large number of bondholders
under subsequent mortgages, obtained
and filed many affidavits, from we'll
known citizens of Michigan and other
States, acquainted with the property,
showing its great value. The mo-
ton was recently argued at Wash
ington by Alfred Russell and Sena-
tor Edmupds IN support of it, and
by William P. Wells and Senator Car
penter against it. Tie power of the
Supreme Court to review the action of
a Circuit Judge in taking security on
appeal, and the statutes and rules reg
ulating appeals came under discussion.
On Monday last the court rendered its
decision denying the motion. This de-
cision secures review by the Supreme
Court of the principal questions in
volved in this important litigation, and
prevents an. immediate sale of the prop
erty, and will tend to secure its applica-
ton to discharge all the just liens upon

Opal tints, and red, red glow
From the sky above to the wave below,
Silver fringes to matt of gold;
Purple curtains that, half unrolled,
Show glimpses of amber and pearly-gray,
And plnks and lilies that strew the way
For the royal car of the King of Day.
With rim and hub of cleaning gold
Ger shining rails of crystal bowled,
Glitter and flash like burning steel,
Spokes of fire in the rolling wheel,
With PANELS of diamonds in scintillant dag.
Transplendent glare of dazzling blaze.
With tangles superb of the meteor-ravs.
The chariot speeds without jar,
Without rustic, Or creak, or bar,
measureless fields of azurline
With naught to rival it's glory seen
With naught to equal it's matchless flight.
Sweeping on from the wondering sight
Like steady ship with changeless helm.
Away, away to the midnight-realm.
Till the radiant vision the shades oerwhelm.

An Ingenious Persian.

The London Graphic tells us that
Monte Christos escape from the sack in
which he was flung into the sea from
the Chateau DIFF has been initiated by
an ingenious Persian. Having incurred
the displeasure of a high fun stionary at
Shiraz, Moham1ned Mira was con
demned to be fastenedup in a sack with
a viper, cock, and cat, and after an
hours time, when this happy family
had improve their acquaintance, the
sack and it's contents were to be thrown
into the river. Fortunately for Mo
manned Mira, his cxecutioners forgot
to search his pocket-which contained
small knife. Directly the mouth of
the sack was closed upon him and his
companions, he cut in half the viper,
which was already encircling his leg,
the cock and the cat were next dis
patched, and our Persian occupied the
remainder of his hour by Stimulating a
violent fight of the three animals, and
giving forth the most excruciating cries
of agony In due time sack and all
were consigned to the water, and then
Mohammed Mira, speedily freeing
himself from the prison, gained the
OCnor size OF ULe liver, anu came posi-
haste to Europe, for the future volun-
tary exile from his fatherland.
Care of the Ear.
The Scientific American thinks that
the ear is quite as liable to injury from
drafts of air as from cold water. The
modern style Of cutting hair in men,
and of arranging the hair of women, is
much to be deprecated; because it was
intended by nature that the hair should
fall over the ear, and form thus a
protection toit. But as we cannot throw
down so great goddess of fashion, we
must use care and artificial means for
the preservation of this delicate organ.
IF sitting in draft is unavoidabl-, the
handkerchief should be applied to the
ear exposed, or pledges of cotton insert
ed within it. The ordinary manner of
washing the face does no harm to the
ear. because the canal leading
to the drum of the ear is partially oc-
cluded by wax, and water does not pene-
trate far; but all the swabbing Of the
ear, whether with dry cloth or lint
moistened VI; OF Or cold water or
other fluids, IS y no means to be
advised, as it removes the wax, the
necessary safeguard of the ear.

THE FULL COMMITTEE ON THE SOUTH THEY DE-
eide TO VISIT NEW ORLEANS.
Especial Dispatch to the New York Timcs.l
WAsmsaroN, Jan. To-
The imputation Of desire by the full Com
mittoe on Southern Affairs to suppress tho re-
mort of the subcommittee which visited New Or
leans. ia without reason or foundation in fact
When the subcommittee first present
cl their report ON Monday last, it was
read by the full committee, and was recommitted
to tho subcommittee, for the purpose OF having
incorporated in it tho statement of what the
members of the Subcommittee saw in the State
house during the time of this organization OF
the Legislature. The committee thought that
tho statements of the members concerning this
organization were the best evidence that could
possbly be obtained, and they desired to have II
iull and authoritative narrative.
Final action was taken last night, ana, on mo-
ton of Mr. Wheeler of Now York, the report Of
the subcommitte was adopted M. the report of
tho full committee, and it was ordered to be pre-
scented to the House to-day by the Chairman,
Mr.. lioar.
The full committee have decided to go to
Louisiana to continue the investigation. The
reason of this decision il that Gov. Kel-
logg and both branches of the State Leg
stature have desired it. The New Orleans
press ask for further examination OF affairs,
and the Republican members OF Congress from
the State have joined individually in the request.
The subcommittee were only short time IN
New Orleans. They were not able to take testi-
mony from outside of that city, and the exami-
nation they made is acknowledged in their re-
port to be very limited. The full committee
will examine by request particularly into two
subjects, the extent of intimidation in the cleo
ton throughout the State, and the character,
strength, organization and purpose OF the White
