An Able Churchman.

Right Rev. William Stubbs, D. D., bishop of Oxford, died in London, England, last week. He was 76 years old and had occupied the Oxford bishopric since 1889, when he was transferred from the see of Chester, over which he had ruled for five years. Bishop Stubbs was .an author of international

repute. As a British historian he occupied a high place in the estimation of the British people. His constitutional history of England’s standard and his cognate works on this subject are widely read and prized. He was honored with several decorations, British and foreign, among them the Prussian Order of Merit. The deceased was a cousin of the dean of Ely, who lately visited America.

California did not figure in the census returns of the united States until 1850. Then its population was 92,597.
