population of California.

From the Alta Ca!itorninn of Dec, 3O,h
we CLEAN many interesting PARTICULARS Of
the population Of California On the frs,
Of January 1913, the number of inhabi-
tanls of the State was estimated a, 3lO,-
QUO. The number arrived by sea since
that time amount 10 35.lS5, departures
3O,'lG, leaving 1,sG9 as the excess of
arrivals over departures. This does moi,
include the arrivals over land and the to-
tai increase is estimated at $4,000 makinr
the population al this time amount TO 800:
0)O. Oi these it is estimated that 2I5.-
QUO are Americans, rs, 600 Germans, 25,-
00O French, 1900 Cinnamon, 10000
of Spanish blood, 5000 miscellaneous
foreigners, 10000 Indians, and $500 Ne
groes. The number of women are sun
posed to amounts TO G5,00O, and children
perhaps 10000, This estimate shows tb,,
nearly two-thirds of the population are
Americans and nearly one-,hird of loreipn
birth, onc-teirtccnth French, cne-thirteenth
Germans, onc-thrteenlh Chinese, nearly
ona.cl cvcnth children and one sixteenth

"a few weeks since we had occasion

dangerous superstucturc. Again arc

ninglon and Manchester road is new one,
Just about being completed and such re-
ports would tend to injure it. Tho Com
pany have bright prospect ahead of
them and it would be a pity to nip it in the
bud While upon this subject, we will
state for information, that this road is now
doing an cxccIlen, business. A great dens
OF travel is done over it; on several occa-
sons of late, there. have been more per.

SINGULAR DtsCL0SURE.-A bov named
Edward Reese, thirteen years old, was de-.
tectcd picking d pocket AT Philadelphia last
Monday. He states that some ten or a
dozen boys, rangngdrom twelve to lwent v
years OF age, ara banded together for the
purpose "f picking pockets and piferng
wherever an opportunity occurs. The
band is regularly organized, having boy
called "Strainey" as leader, and another,
known as "Big Chuckles," who acts as
deputy in the absence of the captain. The
field OF operations extend from washing-
ton to New York, and the plan of action
is varied to suit circumstances. The old.
or boys, and leaders of the gang, are ostcn-
slb'y engaged in selling periodicals. and
cheap publications, and they generally act
as the receivers OF the plumber obtained
by The smaller boys. The youngsters be.
long principally TO New York and Dalti-
more Cha lesion Erening Ners.

The Eastern War,

The latest accounts show brilliant
victory for the Turks.
The fighting continued for five
days and the Russians were at last
routed with the loss Of 1000 killed
and two Generals wounded. On the
last day the Turks attacked the Rus.
sian reserve and drove it in confusion
on krajova with loss of it's artillery.
The slaughter on both sides immense.
The Turks afterwards DESTROYED the
Russian Notifications and returned
to kalatat.
The Russians have Increased the
Notifications of Sebustopol and along
the Crilnca, and put out all the
lighthouses.
The Sultan has essentially modified
the note of the -Four Powers and for.
"arded it to St. Pctersburgh. No
answer has yet been received from
the Car, but it is believed he will
recall his Minister from Paris and Lon.
don, and formally declare war. Eny.
land is strengthening her coast de.
fences. In the French navy yards tho
greatest activity prevails; every YES
sci is ordered to be fitted out, and
the workmen have no intcrmission,
even on Sunday.
This all begins to look in earnest
like general war.
