An enthusiastic philologist writes to the New
York Tribune, apparently in perfect gravity and
good faith, TO make the absurd proposition that,
fthe dignity of the law requires that somebody
should be hung because Rullotf has committed
murder, he twill bring forward man, who, in
the interests of learning and science, will take
Rullofps crime upon himself and submit to be
hanged in Rullof's place." That learned GRIM
inal would no doubt cheerfully assent to this
arrangement, and contemplate the death of his
substitute with the same indifference with
which he regarded the fate of his
wife and the other victims of his
murderous propensities. The proposer of
this wild scheme is probably an amiable and
crednlous enthusiast He may or may not know
that his offer could not possibly be accepted, and
that if it could be, its only result would be to
let loose again upon the world man who has
done much mischief and never any good; whose
pathological vagaries only fall short of insanity,
and, if they could be imposed upon the world
as Of any value, would do as much damage to
the cause of sound learning as his instructions
to the jailer's son, whom he educated into a
rufiian and burglar, did to the cause of good
morals. The Tribune's preposterous apology
for Rullof's crimes, that he had too little time
to spare from his researches into the origin
and development of language to get his
living by the slow processes of honest industry,
is of piece with great deal of maudlin sent-
mental pseudo philanthropy which has from
time to time found expression in its columns,
and makes them an appropriate vehicle for the
expression, by such idiots, of their foolish adj
miration of Rulloff's incomprehensible "dis-
cOveries" and their horror, that a man who has
made robbery and murder his business cannot
be spared from the common fate of such crimi.
nails because he has made philology his pastime.

THE DARIEN CANAL SURVEY has proved less
successful than was at one time hoped, although
a route has been discovered that Commander
Selfridge thinks practicable The announce
ment made some time ago that pass had been
discovered where the summit was very low, not
far from two hundred feet, and the other condi-
tons very favorable, it seems now must have
been premature. The route now thought to be
feasible follows the Napipi river from the Attain
tic requires thirteen locks on the Atlantic side,
and tunnel through the mountains, and de-
scends by nine locks to the Pacific Such ca.
nal as this may be the best practically attaina-
ble and good deal better than none; but it is
not what has been hoped for and anticipated
with considerable confidence. A ship canal OBJ
structed by twenty-five locks and tunnel would
not be favorite with nayigators. The tolls
would be necessarily very high, and the danger
and the delay in the passage great. The prob
lem which presents itself in this case is different
from those of ordinary canal engineering. The
importance of the work to the commerce of the
whole world, and of the United States in partic-
uar, is SO great that the cost is matter of rela
lively little consequence, and large sum might
be wisely spent in removing obstacles to speed
and safety of transit, that in less frequented
highway of commerce might be allowed to re-
main, because the advantage to be gained by
their removal would not justify the increased
cost. Another route by way of the Tuyra river
not yet fully explored, may possibly prove more
favorable than any hitherto surveyed.
Sooner or later the two oceans must be con-
neeted by ship canal through which the larg
est vessels can pass The route finally selected
must either cross the isthmus of Darien at some
place between the Atrato river, where Command
or Selfridge has been making his explorations,
and Panama, by the lake of Nicaragua or the
isthmus of Tehuantepec. The narrowness of the
former isthmus invites exploration, and encour-
ages the hope that some practicable break in
the mountain chain may be found where the
But the surveys yet made have failed to find
such pass, if it exis.s, as several traditions
sert. The Nicaragua presents many difficulties,
and numerous locks, overcoming a great eleva-
ton, would be unavoidable. The Tehuantepec
route requires a canal of greater length, but the
route is believed to present no insuperable OBJ
stacles, and the elevation to be surmounted is
| probably less than by any other that has been
| suggested. A canal across this isthmus, too
would make the voyages for ships seeking a
passage, especially those of the United States,
some hundreds of miles shorter than the route
| by the isthmus of Darien or Panama. The
probabilities seem to grow stronger yearly that
the canal between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans will cut through the isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec.

state OF the Eastern question would compel
England to go to war with Russia with OF

Mrs. James A. Oates.

This fascinating little cantatrice takes
her benefit at the Academy tonight. Her
first appeal to our citizens will, no doubt,
be fully responded to, and a crowded house
will be the result. Mrs. Oates, although
not to the manor born, is professional
citizen OF the Crescent City. Here, only
two years ago. she made her pro-
fessional debut, and Immediately jumped
into popular favor.
Since her first appearance here she has
been the bright star or centre piece of a
large organization OF comic opera an. bur
lcs1ue. and has played in all of the large
cities in the Union. Her great musical
talent gained for her the proud title Of
being the best artist in her especial role, in
the country.
Her tour through the States has been a
perfect ovation, and in nearly every case
her engagements have been extended far
beyond their limited time. AS, for instance,
her engagement at the Olympic Theatre in
New York, last fall, was originally made
for tour weeks. but from the overwhelming
success of Mrs. Oates and the company, it
was extended to five months.
She now returns to lis greatly improved
in voice and action, and is the dircctress
of the largest, and. in fact only musical
organization OF the kind in existence. We
advise her many admirers to call at the box
Office early this morning and secure seats.
