1t Is reported that Miss Anna Dickinson
recently had comlcal adventure in at
tempting to I'LL an engagement to lecture
at Newark. She was passenger on the
evening tram from Jersey Citv, and in
tended to leave the cars at the Market
street depot but by some mischance she
was taken to another depot quite remote
from the lecture room. When the train
stopped at the latter station the conductor
found that the only way he could get Miss
Dickinson over the swamp that lies between
the track and the street on which was a
horse car was 20 take her on his back and

The snip CANA Scheme.

Lfrom the bAtln1fe kFennK news,
The Delaware and Chesapeake Ship
Canal project seems to have many en-
thusiastlc friends who are determined 10
press 1t Spon public attention, and ii Is not
In a spirit of aDtagonism that we venture
10 lay few thoughts before our readers.
The idea Of opeuing a ship canal TO the
sea, and bringing the heavy laden ships
directly across the peninsula instead OF
around through the capes, Is bold and
taking one. II has, In fact, such a charm
that It would be well 10 count the cost a
little.
The cost in money Of cutting a canal
from our harbor 10 the ocean would be
enormous, aud sooner or later the city
would assume a large share Of It's debt by
endorsing lis bonds or by other expedienis
Of finance. Now the question Is, would
the advantage to the city be 80 great as TO
ray the interest on the vast capital ex.
pended In such an undertaking This lie
or ought to be q question of simple bust
ness calculation, and sentiments and en-
thusiams should be kept as far as possible
out Of the discussion.
One thing to consider lie the change
which railroads have made In the sci C.
ton of sites for cities. Before the railroad

navigation" In those DAYS goods were
carried as far as possible by water, and

mond, Fredericksburg, Georgetown, Al.
lany, and many others, Illustrate this
Baltimore and Philadelphia got their great
start by being fine harbors very far in
land
But the railroad has changed this some
what. People now desire rapid transit
rather than cheap transit. Is true thai
we are neSrer st. Louis than New York is
but we are farther from Liverpool. Tn,
railroad portion of the route Is shorter
but the water portion is longer. A shiI
from Liverpool will reach New Yorl
quicker than it can reach Baltimore, auC
can deliver freight In st. Louis quicker by
the New York than by the Baltimor,
route. Indeed, If there was a ship cana
reaching all the way to 81. Louis, We be
lieve that the railroad would carry tht
freight all the same.
These views may be erroneous, but the,
are worth considering, when m under
taking is proposed which involves sucl
expense as this Delaware ship canal.

The highly Interesting and valuable
article We publish On another page l.
from the zen Of Dr.. T. R.Wolf, Professor Of
Chemistry in Delaware College and State
Chemist. DR.. Wolf H. a gentleman of in
telligence and large scientific knowledge,

German scientific schools and be was re

gratious Of late. They naturally IN
Guided in their Investigations the uumer-
GUS Illuminating oils which have caused
so many fires and so much loss OF life,
and Professor Wolf obtained specimens OF
the oils and fluids sold in this city. Their
examination showed the startling fact
that only one-tenth Of the oils sold in
Wilmington will stand the test prescribed
by the National government, while some Of
them ignite at ordinary temperatures and
give of an explosive vapor without the
application Of any unusual heat.
In view Of these facts, thus attested by
the highest authority, ii would seem thai
there is very grcu necessity for some
more thorough and stringent regulation
for the sale Of oils. We believe we have
a city ordinance on the subject but It is
scarcely, II at all, operative. A really
competentiuspe0,or ought to be appointed,
and fully empowered to condemn any oil Of
8 dangerous character.
