PAupER,sM IN ENGLAND-From q recent
English work, "Pashley on Panperism and the
Poor Laws" we CLEAN the following facts:
The number of persons in England and
Wales who received parish relief, at some time
during the year. is three millions.
The number receiving relief at somo time
during the wear is one million.
Ont of this million, tho number of able-bod-
led adult male paupers-men willing and phys
ically able to earn their daily bread. but unable
60 obtain employment--is upwards Of three
hundred thousand.
The number of pauper children under the
age Of sixteen, who are entirely dependant on
the parish relief, is three hundred and fifty
Thousand.
During the last century, the population o
England has increased in proportion Of three
10 one: but the pauperism of England has in
creased in the proportion Of eight to one.
A hundred years ago, the outlay in relief o.
the poor was little more than two shilIings a
head on the whole population; it now amounts
to nearly six shillngs.

From the New York Tribune
A WORD TO WINGS.

"Brag is good dog, but Hodfast is bet
ter" The Lpcofoco presses seem to be very
generally trying TO encourage one another by
a Wholesale system of boas,ing of the strength
of their candidate and tho weakness OF Gen.
Scott. Whistling to keep the courage up is
an old practice. We shall not complain OF our
advcrsaries for acting upon the belief that it
is an effective one But we must be allowed to
express our hope that Wings viii nowhere bo
SO green as to allow themselves TO be swayed
by any such windy pretension. The varying
aspects of political canvass arise mainly out
of the hourly changing hopes or apprehensions
Of men, and these are often excited by the
most trivial causes We arc unaware OF any
good solid ground of hope or fear, OF expecta-
ton or anticipation. mt this Particular timo
which has not been present Win more Or less
dis,incnsss to every close observer OF events
since the opening of the canvass we nave DO
lieved from the beginning that Gen. Scott
would be elected our next President. Ihis
belief was never more firmly entertained
than it is to-day. And we see nothing ana
have seen nothing to shake this convIction.-
Yet we feel and know that we have hard
contest before us. OF course 1t cannot be oth-
erwise. We see the need of exertions--strong'
unfaeng, unintermtted exertion. And we
would have Wings everywhere sec and feel
IL too: and while we would have them guard
against any transitory or vague and shodowy
feeling of apprehension or disconragement, we
would have them equally guard against all su-
piness or neglect of the means to insure sue
cess. We feel and know that the Wings can
succeed in electing Gen. Scott it they but do
their duty. We have combination OF effec
tive elements in our favor in this canvass that
we never had before. And in the agencies of
success our opponents were far weaker than
they now are both in 1910 and 18iS for in the
elections of each of those years the whole 'orce
Of Locofocoism was concentrated IN tho Ma
tional Administration and broaght " bear on
tho elcction--an immense advantage they
do not now possess. In our well considered
judgment, therefore, the Wings have on
ly. in this canvass. to "STAND FIRM and to
''WoRK" to secure the triumphant election OF
Gen. Scott. We have the strongest confidence
that they will do both.

The Late Duel In California.

The late duel in San Francisco. between
Mr.. Gilbert, editor of the Alta California, and
Gen Denver, grew out of some structures by
Mr.. Gilbert on the conduct of Governor Bigler.
To these General Denver replied: and to this
| reply Mr.. Gilbert retorted rather harshly, and
| at the close of the editoral slated that il "the
Goveror or any of his friends wish to take up
the matter they knew where to find him. Soon
after this. Mr.. Denver published another card
stating that he did not go out of his way to
look up "blackguards' but that If any one wish
ed to see him they must find him. A cofres-
pondent of the journal of Commerce thus
describes the result
Mr.. Gilbert Immediately repaired TO Sacra-
mento city and sent a challenge to Gen. Dem
yer. Tho challenge was accepted, the weap-
ons selected (Weisson's rihes,) distance forty
PAGES, time next morning at sunrise, and place
Oak Grove. twelve miles from Sacramento city.
Armed with the instruments of death, the
combatants met at the time and place agreed
upon-the forty PAGES were measured OF, thq
parties occupied the positions marked out and
both rifles we're diseharsed, neither of the
combatants being wounded. a.,
II is said that Mr.. Gilbert knew but little
about the use of the rife. while Mr.. Denver
was known tn be a dead shot. Rumor also
affirms that Mr. Denvers evidently did not en-
f,eavor to kill Mr.. Gilbert at the first fret sS
ha des;reyqqs ,yqqs not aimed with that purpose; that
,h., ,o'e" second frconds to adjust the matter so
after consultation, he was DC oe prevented; Ruf

remarkad that he would have to kiIi ne tnen ne,

The combatants again took their stations.
and the fatal word was given, whom almost
instantly. Mr.. Gilbert FELL The ball from
Mr.. Deven's rife entered through the body,
and produced death in less than! five minutes
Mr. Gilbert was universally beloved and re-
specied here, and his sun thus setting in
blood, has caused unmitgated sorrow and re-
gret all classes of the community deeply Ia
menting this sad termination Of his heretofore
honorable and useful life. The Rev. T. ID.
Hun, made appropriate remarks at his fnneralJ
and thousands followed his remains to the city
cemetery, where soldiers burial was given
him, three rounds being fred over, his grave
by the military company to which he belonged.
Mr.. Gilbert was only 33 years of age, ma
tive of Albany n. Y. where this event will bring
down widowed mothers gray hairs with sor-
row to the grave.

WHAT HE THOUGHT OF LIFE PREsERvERs.-
Al, INCIDENT occurred on board the Steamer
May Flower while lying at the dock on her
last trip. which caused considerable merriment
among the passengrs. A genteely dressed
individual having paid his fare and presented
his ticket to the Steward received the key of
his State room. Searching out its whereabouts
ne found it decorated with three life preservers
inflated, ready for use as are all the rooms on
this steamer, and not knowing their utility,
supposed them horse collars. Indignant at
such treatment he returned to Warmely. the
good natured Steward, accosting him, Look
here Captain, that room you gave me is oceu-
pied'-'Well know it is, another gentleman
has the upper berth assigned to him. Well
Captain, do you think Pm agoing tr sleep in a
horse stable-the room is hung fol. of horse
collars and harnessp That was to much for
tho bysta-ders and Steward, who saw the gen.
tleman's mistake and after hearty laugh over
the ignorance of the individual, tho horse col
lars were exhibited to him and their use fully
explained. and he walked away, satisfied that
he was badly sold.
