The enterprise is in the hands of a wealthy synillcale, which is furnishing money for the preliminary work ln°Mexico. The survey Is completed and the road bed being constructed*.

I'Slnce tlie publication ol the locnl'whlch. nppenred In tills paper," says tlie l'entwater NewBof a recent Issue, "stating that Captain Eddy Irons, ofTentwnter, sailed the first vessel up Chicago creek, ne have been in receipt of numerous letters of inquiry for "further particulars. In order to aiiswor them we will briefly stale Hint In 1835 and 1830 Captain Ironscommnnded the schooner Eliza Ward, 110 tons burthen owned by John W.clls, ot l'lilnski. That In August, 4883, he loaded nt Ot>-eg6 for Tike ilvur (now Keiiofjlm,) Chicago, Michigun City, and Grand river. At this time tlie vessel had to discharge her cargo a' Chicago on lighters. I'he next year, 1880, In June, he made another trip loaded for the flume places. Arrived at Chicago, lie found a perfect jam . of vessels anchored and tied up at the north pier. There were some piles on the south ' Bide-to commence tlie south pier, and he ran to them and tied to tlie piles, expecting to take» lighter from there. A wind from the northeast came up which finally became a terrlfitc gale, and pinched tlie vessel all In with no possibility of getting out. 'i'hb Cap- " ifpundjW the piles wcru. injuring his veiieTSIIuillpped his fastening and stood out for the middle of the channel. She had a sharp keel, nnd as she went on her side (some canvas being up) he noticed that she forged ahead. He then ran a hawser to an ' oak tree ifanding near Fort Dearborn, and took it to tlie windlass aboard and by heav- ,- Ing worked Jier ahead over the bar, and lied up to the bank In twelve or iourteeu feet of water, from which place ho unloaded the first cargo from a vessel' in Chicago river. Tlie bill or lading is dated Detroit, May 17, 1830, and Is receipted June 18, 1880, by Hubbard & Oo. flt rained twenty-four hours,' cautttng. the [river to rise bo that lie easily dropped out Aern foremost, vt ithout touching bottom. A Hiiiiiber of vessels nut- lido were badly InjurcdNmioiig \\ hlch Was tlie Julia Palmer. The above Is from Cup*, tain (ronirown lips, and he has paper* and I momnrmulnjo corroborate It. . ' STEAM, VERSUS SAIL. Snya the Detroit Evening News: It (> tfjjld that when Fulton nsconded the Hudson with his steamer an enthuslnatlo man In the crowd remarked: "The time will come when not a sailboat will bo built." Tradition goes on to say that ho was promptly, laughed to scorn. And yetr that time has come—not lltcniny, but'prnctlcully.lt has come As far the erciit lakes are concerned, lot—nearly every craft built nowaday Is Intended to be drawn or propelled by steam. A Balling vessel Is a rare exception. As to the reason for the change, (hero are several theories.advanced. One Is that for¬ merly sailors could be hired for about tlie same price as barge men, and wind being cheap menus, sails were n.very choap manner of navigation) compared Willi steam. On the other hand, Bailing has now become un¬ der tlie laws and customs a fine art, and sailors' wafer* have gone up In proportion to the Increased tlnenctwfl ot Uip art, while Ihe work of the targe men luisiiot materlnllj changed, and being alwnysn low grade of work lias drawn lo it all the lower grades ol sailors Uf well ns many from the railroads, who were out, of employment, so time the 'actual cost of navigation by wind—cheap as It would seem—has become ■ greater than that of navigation hy steam. Other theories me suggested,' nniong w hlch, of course, l» the one tlint the times demnild ns rapid trnnsltiiB possible, even In the course freights. A NOTED S'llIP.' The following communication ippears in Ihu Buft'iiiofmtfier, November 21«t: "In your issue of the !!Uili Inst, yon govern ac- count ot the remarkably qujck run made by -th* bnrk Ogarlta, on her passage down, from Chicago to this port—lour .days and two hours—as being the fastest on record. Now, allowing"!! to lie a remarkably quick run, the said 'O'Gnr-lly' will have to quicken her tliue at least ten hours to equal Unit made, by (he bark A. P. Nichols, In November, 1S03, She not only made the run from Chi¬ cago lo Buffalo in three days nnd sixteen, hours, but eniletHlie entire,dlstnnce-wlth starboard Ineks'iiboind, except while being towed Irom tha'rooutli of the St. Clair river fo Luke Krle." Several other Vessels'coltld be" mentioned thut have made tlie passage In less than four days, but that of the A. P. Nichols is tlie quickest on record. < ■ Marine." The A~P. Nichols Ib lying at Madison street bridge fitting out for tlie season. When this vessel came out In 1861 its n bark- amine, she was 'about tlie finest clipper cu fresh water. She has un .excellent model (as Is remarked to-day) and she. has made and can make very last. tunc. It ig not many steamboats which can make the dis¬ tance between Chicago and Buffalo In three'1 days nnu sixteen hours. The Nichols wax built by A. and 1). U-Bailey-at Madison Dock (between Cleveland and Faiiport) In 1801, and measures 470 tons—a very largo craft for those days. She Is now .the prop¬ erty ol Captain dough and his sous, and has undergone large repairs the past whiter, During her catecr thus tar she husniadoa fortune lor several owners. She hits had colllbloiib and Iiiib beeii ullanded and Is a notod emit generally, a"nd tlie end ol licrca- re'er is not yet. Captain i lougli Iiiib a his¬ tory liinisell, and in command oi this his¬ torical emit ho makes her of double interest, lie Is an uld-lline shipbuilder and navigatoi. The bmk Clougli, so long In commission on the lake*, was built by Captain Clougli and ills wile oil Gieeii island, Greeh Buy. They occupied seveinl yeaisiin building her, hut they finally completed the job, and tlieyat- terward sailed her together. There was noi an-ounce of lion in thu whole vessel. She nas fastened and bolted and screwed and nulled entirely with wood, mid yet she ueulheved many n fierce gale and lived to a good oh! nge. Old navigatois will nil wMi Oiiptalu Clougli and the good ship A. I'. Nichols every success.—Inter (kain. CU1UOUS D1BUOVEUY. While the workmen nt Messrs. Gill & Son's shipbuilding yard, Rochester, were engaged In sawing u portion of nu old ship's mainmast, formerly belonging to u. man-of- war at Chatham, a 32-pouud lion shot was discovered embedded In the mast, tlie npi lure having been plugged up. Tlie mast question had been lying for a couslllerabl lime at Chatham dockyard, and Is believed to have belonged to Nelson's Victory. It li worthy of note thattj'2-potindor shot was tl Inrgest in UBOlorimviil warfare during Nel- soil's time. It le not long since the Victory's mainsail was discovered sulely stowed away at Chatham dockyard,. whereJT had been lying (or n number of yeucs unnoticed. The sail was riddled with shot tired during the battle ot Tralalgar.—J/arine Ejxqineer In n conversation with Mr. Hope, the manager of the Continental Insurance Com¬ pany, he says that, owing to the Dlmlck trouble', thd'coinpnny will not attempt to do much lake marine Insurance this season, either hull or cargo. The Continental goes into the pools If Mr. Dlmlck thinks heat t<t do so. Until Mr. Dlmlck Is proved to be guilty of the charges made agliist him bo1 must be considered Innocent. ' ' C. E.
