THE LATE DAVID HOFFMAN,.

Among the most remarkable persons recently deceased
in this country, the journals have failed suitably to
notice David Hoffman, Esq, Jur utr Doct Gottingen
who died suddenly the 18th nst at BALTIMORE at the
ags Of about seventy years.
Mr.. Hoffman was native Of Maryland, and was OF
family eminently distinguished in the refined and highly
cultivated society Of it's metropolis. Entering upon h|
professional at early age, he for than
a quarter of century Of the most able, popular
and successful lawyers Of the State and when he retired
from the bar nearly twenty years ago. indulge long
cherished wish of foreign travel he in possession of
an ample fortune The disasters of 1886 and subsequent
years. however, greatly deprecated his property and in
1874 he returned to the United States and
the practice of his profession in Philadelphia.
not easy he perhaps, imagined to reinstate him
self In his professional rank and after few years he.
abandoned the effort and proceeded TO London, where
with his family he afterwards resided until the pc
Rod of his death We understand that his Intention was
TO resume his residence in England Immediately, wher
arrested By the illness which caused his death.
In 1877 while professor Of Law in the University OF
Maryland Mr. Hoffman published the nrst edition OF
his Course Of Legal Study work which greatly in
creased his reputation It was strongly commended by
Chief Justice MARSHALL Judge Story, Chancellor Kent,
Chief Justice Tilghman Dewitt Clinton and many other
,urists and vas translated into German and published
with notes adapting to the uses Of students OF that
country in Germany. In 1885 this work was enlarged
na renr;ned in two octave volumes, and in the
wear Mr.. Hoffman gave to the public his illegal Out
lines an elaborate performances, Of 676 octave pages
embracing portion Of his extensive course Of lectures
ON law, delivered before the University. Two other
volumes we're prepared for the press, but believe,
never printed Dewitt Clinton said Of the first Of these
works that the design judcious and the execution
feIcitousthat IL contained Of information aud
learning seldom equalied aud tbatt ian invaluable
guide to legal knowledge"
In 1887 Mr.. Hoffman published Miscellaneous thoughts
on Men, Manners and Things, by Anthony Grumosr, o.

AxrsEMEXrs IN New YoRK.-It il q remark
able fact in the bi tory of this republic that
Notwithstanding all the crosking about hard
times. the people have always found money
enough 10 p,y for snch amusements as tend to
refine, nl'ghren, and instruct humanity. As -
pr oof Of this, we may point TO the programmes
put forth by the several places of public amuse-
mept in this city tonight.
The winter seasoD-it il not too much to
call il the carnival season-has fairly COM
menced-the elections are over, the country is
saie for tweIvemonth, and the people are
ready to give q little time to healthful relaxa
ton The New York managers who are by
10 meaps fools, are ready to take this tide 1T
its food, and the amusement column OF the
HERALD shows the results.
The opera has always been a favorite amuse
ment in New York, and even mediocre talent
in this line bar received more than It's proper
reward Tonight we are to be treated with
TWO English operas ('Maritana" at the Broad
way theatre and The Syren" at Niblo's), and
the italian opera ("n Barbiere di Seviglia') at
the Academy. The English opera has been
triumphant thus far, and the Louisa Pyne
troupe mas netted great deal of money, thus
proving what we have said great many times:
that although English opera might be profit
able, Italian opera would not be supported in
the United States. We see that even in Europe,
where there is moneyed aristocracy to
patronizs the opera, that It's managers are
generally used up by two or three seasons; and
If people who are educated to the opera will
not support it, how can its directors hope to
secure general patronage in . country where
the taste for such luxury as the grand opera
is yet to be engenderedf
The English opera has been supported better
than the Italian, because the simple ballads
and plain Instrumentation Of the former awak-
en- responses In thousand hearts upon which
the highly wrought effects Of the italian school
fall without an answering chord. We believe
that the success Of the Louisa Pyne troupe
proves this theory (Which is by no means new
one with us) to be entirely true.
But whether OF not the opera is supported
here, it is true that there is more money ex-
pended in New York fo1 theatrical and musical
entertainments than in any other city in the
world, not excepting Paris. 1t is not too much
to FAY that in the month Of September the gross
receipts of our theatres we're greater than those
Of the gay capital; and we do not believe that
in any European city there is presented to-
night SO varied and attractive programme as
that which is put forth by the New York ma
nagers.
Inasmuch as this fondness for amusement
tends to bring ont all that is good, lovesble,
refining and admiriDg in our natures, We hail
it as another proof Of the sure and safe progress
of the race towards the goal of perfection.
Philosophers would fain worry us with their in
sane theories. They preach, but the people
take their own way to bring about the same
results. The people are right.
