unprecedented suldes she has made IN pop.

Ssn Francisco has grown from nothing to a
city ofsome forty or fifty Thousand souls, in
about .9iree years--n"I longer. The history
,"i ilre world, from ihe beginning, does not
iurAlsh q parallel; aud it is n matter OF very
great doubt whether succeeding generations

population and buSiness SO remarkable.
One Of the elemepls of a grer, city appa'
Ient ln San Francisco, is the number OF des>
iIucllse fires they haVe there. There have
been several within "a few months; the last

The city has ''ihree theatres in full blast,

remuant Of The habitabe portion of Nortl'I
America, The whole of which they once o. .
sucnpied as rghlfuI owners. A few years
,gnoIe, aud there viii be no ronm for one Of
them ON the continent, the strong arm OF the

Mining oprrations. according to the news-
papers, are III II very prosperous condition.
Some allowance, however must be made for
their ST; temrnts, lnasmuch as they are Inte-
