THE MoRMoEs. There seems to be q
prospect Of smart ''shindy," if low
word may be applied to 4 high subject,
between the Mormons and the United
States Government. The Federal reye-
nue. officers. within the Mormon domain,
have received instructions from Wash
ington TO tax the church property, and
the Mormons s,cear (their religion allows
swearing and cursing) that they will not
submit thereto. 1.-The Mormon officials
have not, 80 far as we are informed,
spoken as yet, but there is no doubt that
they will rebel if they dare, and their
daring generally rises to audacity. Brig
ham Young, in his peppery talk with
Senator Trumbull and his companions
about three months ago, said that he
shouidprobably have occasion, before
the next Getting of Congress, to put all
or most of the Federal officers in his
Territory outside ofsit, and he probably
has now as favorable chance as he can
expect, Tor carrying his threat into ef-
feet. Il IA

If one were disposed to moralizc, what
abundant material is suggested by the
occurrence this month of the centennial
anniversaries of the first Napoleon and
Baron Humboldt-the two great con-
querors of modern times. The one on
fields OF carnage, which will ever be the
wonder ond the horror of history; the
other in the domains of knowledge,
where his achievements were no less re-
markable. The career of the first, cha
racterized by an egotism so vast that it
rises to sublimity; of the other, marked
by 'humanitarianism so broad that it
embraced oil men. Each has made an
indelible mark on the times, and will
hold a place in history for ages to come;
but of last the fame of the great destroy
er will pale before the glory of the phi
losopher and scholar.

extract is taken:
"The opinion entertained previous to
my visit, that the Southern States were,
in many respects, far better adapted to
the wants of my countrymen than the

No DANGER. English journals express,
with great interest in our affairs, the en-
barrassment that war with Spain would
be to US, while it would be no additional
burden or disaster to Spain, and the
Spanish press considers such war as if
it might be merely repetition of the
bombardment of Valparaiso. From the
opposite side of the question, this mat
ter appears to US in quite another shape
We could occupy Cuba in thirty days,
with $4,000 men, if necessary. AS for
the sea, they will cite the case of the
Alabama to show what would happen to
our commerce. Thanks to radical legis-
lation, there is but little commerce to
protect; but our navy would not be en-
gagged in blockading 1000 miles of coast
line, and might attend to the privateers.

cut through sandy desert like that between Port
| Said and Suez can withstand the action OF water
produced by the passage through OF steam vessels
OF from 1000 TO 5000 tons burden, at speed OF even
| SIX miles an hour--the maximum rate OF speed
allowed by the company's reguations-without
sustaining serious damage to its banks. All
that need be said on this point is that
such has not thus far been the experience
Of the present company, aud that experience
In this, as In most other undertakings Is much bet
ter than theory. One half of the canal has been
vigated for twelve months by small steamers and
sailing ships without any unfavorabie result. The
tendency or the submerged portion OF the banks Is
unquesuonably to harden under the action OF tho
salt water; and is not Improbable that by the time
the canal Is excavated to its maximum depth and
width throughout, and ready to admit vessels OF the
largest size, the banks will have acquired such de-
gree OF sOltdity as TO leave sufficient cause for
further apprehension on this score. In the sharp
curves and other very exposed portions Of the canal
1t may be found necessary to face the slopes with
stone above and below the water line; but this IS
contingency that may never arise; and to sum up
briefly the whole subject Immediately under .con-
slderation-viz., the maintenance OF the canal as
permanent navigabie channel between the two seas
1t may, think, be confidently asserted that the
means and appliances which have served to create
IL Will assuredly suffice to keep IL In state OF erec.
tive operation.
The imposslbity or difficulty OF supplying the alb
straction Of the waters Of the Bitter Lakes during
the evaporation OF the summer months through the
ordinary seclon OF the canal between the Bitter
Lakes and Suez has been made another point or
discussion BY Mr.. Fowler but as no amount or mere
speculative reasoning win In the slightest degree
assist the general reader 70 appreciation Of the
merits OF such an argument forbear to discuss 1t
here.
The practical utility Of the canal itself and It's
maintenance for the purposes OF navigation ad-
mtted, the real question remains, will it payf VIII
the tranio through 1t be sufficient to meet not only
the enormous cost Of construction but the contingent
expense which its operation must for considerable
season entail upon its projectors2
In order to answer this question satisfactorily 1t
WIN be necessary to consider briefly two other
points-First what was the purpose for which tine
canal was constructedS and, second, 10 that object
likely to be attained, and II 80, by what neansf
The primary object in building the canal, as is
now pretty generally understood. was to save not
only the long and tedious voyage round the Cape OF
Good Hope but also the more expeditions yet more
troublesome and expensive railway route across the
isthmus. The following table will show the saving
effected in distance by the canal the Cape route
between the ports named and Point de Gale, CeylOn,
which is chosen as representing point OF mean
distance In the Eastern seas:--
