TRANSPARENT CANDLES.—If you only
want something pretty to look at, without minding
a little smoke and smell, and a little bending and running
over if the room should happen to be rather unusually
warm, buy any of the very transparent low quality Para-
fine Candles now sold freely everywhere at one shilling
per pound ; but if along with beauty of appearance you
require steady brilliancy of light, and freedom from risk of
these little occasional mishaps, tell your dealer to supply
you with
"PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE CANDLES,'
which, though charged at a higher price per pound, are
really cheaper when the difference of quality is taken into
account. They are believed to be the very best substitute
yet produced for real Wax and Spermaceti, now at such
an extravagant price, and are being introduced in place of
them in the West-end Clubs, and elsewhere where ex-
cellence of quality is studied as well as economy

arrested by this mute appeal, and men in the busy
City of London read with renewed interest and
sympathetic horror the astoundingrevelations which
the Farnham Workhouse Inquiry has brought to
light. _ _ _

Pauperism is very mute and long-suffering and
shrinking ; it has become inured to its misery.

e eels to their skinning, paupers, it is said,

have become accustomed to the skin-cutting night-
winds of March, or to the chill damps of the Parks
or railway arches in long November nights. Some
of our readers may have witnessed how patiently,
with hands deep thrust in their pockets or folded
under a thin and scanty shawl, men and women
take up their places on benches in the Park as
night begins to fall, sitting bolt upright, awaiting
with silent and stolid aspect the, approach of dark-
ness and of sleep. Of the bitter waking in pain,
hunger, and hopelessness, of the thousands who,
in London alone, lie down every night in the year
with no better shelter than an arch or a doorway,
we know but little, nor of what becomes of them
when driven from their resting-places by the dawn
of light , and the stir of life. early dawn creep-
ing figures are, indeed, to be seen gliding along
like pale shadows through the streets, and diving
out of the broad streets into narrow alleys and
passages as if they shunned light and publicity. They
never beg from a chance passer-by, or speak, or
look up, but, shrinking into themselves, shuffle on
in si lent misery. Must these things be ? is the
question which every one has to answer. Must
there be such misery, such neglected outcasts, such
chronic paupers in a country_so wealthy, so power-
ful, and so highly civilized as ours ? Is pauperism,
if not indeed a condition, almost a necessity of
our civilization ? Scarcely so, for it is not to be
found in a nation as highly civilized as France.
It does not exist in Germany, at least in such a
chronic state as with us save, perhaps, in the
rural districts about the Black Forest, where the
population lives in a state almost on the verge of
starvation. It is unknown in Madrid, in Rome,
where deaths from starvation, exposure to cold,
or from official neglect, such as occur so often in
London, are things unheard of. Of course, in a
commercial country like England, where the
struggle for life is so keen, where the risks in pur-
suit of wealth are so frequent, the pressure of sud-
den poverty is often such as to tax our energies to
the highest, but still with all our resources, if
they were properly organized and administered,
there is no need for the existence of that chronic
pauperism which on a sudden of distress sinks into
utter starvation, and paralyzes by its wide extent
our efforts to meet sudden emergencies.
Our mismanaged workhouse system and chronic
pauperism, like a standing army of misery in the
midst of luxury and wealth, though closely con-
nected, are distinct questions which must be dealt
with separately. A thorough reform in the whole
management of our poor is what we have a right
to expect immediately from the resources and
organization already at our disposal. Every
day's delay in the remedy of the crying abuses
which confessedly exist, is an outrage on our

•
sense of justice and on our humanity ; but for the '
removal of the standing pauperism of our large
cities, whether it results from crime, intellectual
or bodily weakness, or from misfortune, time and
thought and national determination are absolutely
necessary, so that no false step be taken, and that
the nation be not committed to a system which
shall create evils greater even and more disastrous
than those it aimed at removing. To cope with our
existing pauperism will require a vast and intelli-
gent organization. It will cost millions of money
and years of labour to eradicate the evil from our
soil ; but to a nation which has done so much for
the promotion of its material greatness, what is
there to shrink from in labour and expenditure,

however vast, which shall help on the moral well-
being of the nation by rescuing tens of thousands
from the crime and misery in which they are
now sunk ? Pauperism, as it now exists in our
midst, is not only a disgrace to our civilization,
but a crime in a country where the lessons of
Christianity have been taught. TVestnzinster

DINNER TO MR. LOWE, M.P.

On Saturday evening the directors of the Philo-
sophical Institution, Edinburgh, entertained Mr.
Robert Lowe, M.P., to dinner, on occasion of his
visit to that city to open the lecture session. About
150 gentlemen satdown to dinner in Slaney's Hotel.
Mr. W. Smith, Senior Vice-President, occupied the
chair, and in appropriate terms proposed the toast
of the evening.
Mr. LOWE, who was received with loud cheering,
said: My lords and gentlemen—l am so little used
to hear the language of panegyric (laughter) as ap-
plied to myself—though I hear a great portion of it
daily flowing past me—that I can hardly do justice
to the most unexpected honour you have conferred
upon me. I came here as a stranger, with a fixed,
single, and definite purpose. That purpose was to
avail myself of the kind invitation which was given
to me, and in order to express in a public manner,
and before an audience which I believed capable of
thoroughly appreciating the merits of an intricate
and somewhat abstruse question, my views on the
steps which should be taken as to the education of
the country. In that respect my objects have been
fully attained. I have been allowed, through the
kindness of this institution to state, I am afraid at
great length, and with great minuteness, the views
that-occur to me on this most important question
of the day. (Applause.) Having done this the
object I had proposed myself was accomplished;
but a man sometimes reaps more than he sows, and
this has been my case. (Laughter.) In the first
place I shall go home rewarded with a degree which
I am afraid it would have been a long time before
my own University would have thought of conferring
upon me (great laughter) —the degree which it has,
pleased the Senatus Academicus of the University of
Edinburgh to invest me with. In the second place
I have had the honour of being entertained at
this splendid festival, a tribute which I thoroughly
believe it would be very difficult to get any large
number of my countrymen to unite in anywhere
else. (A laugh.) And, therefore, gentlemen, as a
stranger, being known personally to very few of
you, and having such very slight claims on your
kindness as I have, I beg from the bottom of my
heart to thank you most sincerely for the honour
you have done me, and to the chairman for the most
undeserved manner in which he. has spoken of me.
Gentlemen, of party politics, of course, I know my
duty too well to say anything. I feel too deeply to
touch on it lightly, and I respect you too much to
go into it at any length. That subject I pass by,
and, in doing so, I feel myself at a considerable
difficulty, because, as your chairman well remarked,
the question of education is not, at any rate, a part
of politics, and that when we exclude politics we
apparently exclude that ; but still I think you will
give me license to say a very few words on that
subject. (Applause.) On that point I have very
little to add to what I said last night. I conceive
the point we ought all to bear in mind is that the
recent changes, whether for good or evil—and on
that I offer no opinion (a laugh)—entirely alter the
whole aspect and bearing of the question of educa-
tion. It is no longer, I fear, a private affair, or a
matter of dilletauteeism, as a thing to be taken or
left, as may please this squire, or that parson 'or
that community. (Hear, hear.) It is a matter
which has become one of public and paramount in-
terest. It is not the neighbourhood only, as has
been assumed hitherto, that has an interest in the
education of the children of the neighbourhood. It
is the whole community at large that has a most
overpowering interest in the education and instruc-
tion -of every one, even the meanest of its citizens.
That is the mighty, the enormous change.lin the
aspect of the question of education which this year
