A DUEL.-A gentleman writes from
New Orleans, under the date of the
Goth ultimo, that he had just seen a
"splendid young man." one mile from
the city, in his last agony. The ball
of his antagonist had entered his fore
head, and his brains were gushing out.
A collection of people in carriages,
witnessed the sacrifice to false honor.
The affair originated in dispute at
the theatre.
Medical Statistics Of Boston.-The
March number of the Medical Maya
zine contains highly interesting CON-
munication from DIR. d. Humphreys
Storer, in regard to the bills of mortali-
ty for Boston during the nineteen years
ending January list, 1882.
The whole number of deaths for that
period is 2l,122. Consumption stands
at the head of the list. The largest
number of deaths by this disease was
in 1924, viz. 244-the least number
1873, in 1S16-Dyspepsia, once SO fash
ionable complaint, seems now to be
exploded During the last four years,
not single case is recorded.
The whole number of cases of Sui
eide, for nineteen years, is 90. The
largest number in any one-year was
-, in 1880, when there was a general
depression of business.
The bill of mortality for the years
1913, 1914, and 1915, is unpolluted,
says DR.. Storer, by death from drunk
enness. Now five diseases only take
precedence ofthis pestilence. No ply
stefan, however, in making his observ-
atoms upon this table of mortality, has
a fair criterion of the real state of the
pestilence in question. In the various
forms of fayers-the inf1ammations and
diseases of the various organs--in con-
vulslons, apoplexy, palsy, insanity, sui
eide, epilepsy,-in the great scourge
of our country, pulmonary consumpti-
on--in premature decay, and sinking
age, he sees the effects of the destroy
er; 81 feels conscious that consumption,
alone, claims more victims to its power.
But Ia cases of Small Por have pro-
we'd fatal during the last 10 years. In
this period, IA years have been entire
ly exempt-and the highest number OF
deaths during the remaining five years,
has been in 1915, and 81.
The greatest number of cases Of
Asthma, has been 2 in 1922, "a, '25,
'27 and 81. Total Is.
The whole number of deaths from
Apoplery, is 199-the cases vary from
l6, the highest number any one year,
to 3, the lowest.
The largest number Of deaths from
i Insanity, took place in 1925, being 10.
During three years of the series, no
death took place. Whole number, A.

The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.
The closing moments of Lord Ten
derden's life was marked by circum-
stance, which singularly exemplified
the tenacious hold of the mind upon
what has been its predominant occupa-
ton. The family of the venerable
Judge were standing in mute sorrow
around his bed, watching his last strug-
giles; when he was observed feebly to
move his hand along the pillow, as if
in the act Of writing; and Immediately
afterwards he was heard to exclaim,
almost in his usual tone, "Gentlemen
of the Jury, you may retire." He then
closed his eyes, and expired. Let it
be remembered that his Lordship had
literally passed from the judgment seat
to the bed of death; that, up to the last
moment of his career, he had forced
his fainting faculties to a close encoun-
ter with the complicated evidence adj
duced in case of great Importance,
(the trial of the Bristol Magistrates
and that, IN all probability, the last
distinct act of consciousness which his
mind performed, was an effort TO keep
within his view the series of facts and
arguments which it would be his duty
to place before the Jury, when the time
came for his addressing them-let all
these circumstances be remembered,
and there will be little difficulty in COM

THE REVISED LAws--The belligeren
Editor of the Advocate has few words to
say about the "fnishing and distribution
of the Revised Laws, calculated and solely
designed, under the pretence of commune
eating information, to .mislead and prejudice
the public. "The Public" he says, eve
understand may shortly expect the last o.
the work, as the printing is nearly compile
ted" The Advocate knoUs that this SEN
tence, as it would be understood by every
reader unacquaInted with the facts, and as
he, probably, intended it should be under.
TODD, amounts to nothing less than witml
base and malicious .falsehood. For he is
well aware that the binding of the laws,
in complete sets, WIS commenced in July,
and that it has no for a moment been
interrupted; he knows too, that the dis
trIbution was commenced a month or
more since, and one half perhaps of the
counties in the State have already received
their quota; and yet he has the hardi-
hood to say, "The printing is nearly com
pleted!" So gross falsehood. we are sure,
cannot for momen be believed; and we
beg pardon Of the reider--of the Advocate,
none-for using so harsh language in con-
tradicting it. We have employed the only
language which the latter can understand
if you say to him, ''you are mistaken, sir"
he presumes you mean to yield to him; the
only alternative is such as we have adopted.
