San FnANcIsco, Oct. %, 1870.
Analysis Of the San Francisco Census.
A letter bristling with figures Is not
the most interesting mental pabulum
that can be placed before the reader;
but as the census only comes once In
ten years, and the subject Of the growth
of San Francisco Is a matter that more
or less concerns the whole Pacific
coast, your correspondent pleads these
facts in mitigation, and trusts that the
appearance Of the following formidable
array of numerals will not have the
effect of frightening the reader to the
local columns until he has perused this
communication.
Cur Houses.
The total number of Inhabitants In
the city and county Is 1905 and to
accommodate this number Is, 276 houses
have been built. But as 2,603 Of them
are empty, the figures are reduced to
q, 6G3 In actual occupation; showing
that Notwithstanding the oyercrowding
In the Chinese quarter, and the GLOBE
Hotel with its swarm Of Celestial so
iourners, the average Is only between
six and seven persons to each dwelling.
Sun Francisco probably covers a greater
proportiOnate area than any other
large commercial city, and as economy
| of space in the matter of housing Is
yery worst of all economy, we may
congratulate ourselves on the good
sense that has given us plenty OF elbow
room and fresh air.
White Inhabitants.
Our white residents foot up l37,4Gl,
of whom GOALS are adults, and the
balance children under fifteen. The
disproportion In the sexes amongst the
grown up folks Is very considerable
being so, 1902 males to 80, 3lG females
so that some $4,000 more women would
be required before every man In the
city could marry. Under the age OF
fifteen the sexes are nearly rs equal rs
could be desired, and the rising gen
Grafton of voters will have no difficulty
In finding each one q wife. OF the
white males 81, 70l are citizens, leaving
20,40l who have not yet rcnounced
their allegiance to foreign potentates,
and placed themselves fully under that
protecting Igis of which we hear so
much and might see more. The 3S,3l6

she had reached the age OF eighteen she made her
DEBUT in the concert room. Her reception was no:

therefore Withdrew from the public and reapplied
herself TO the cultivation OF her voice. On re-
appearing on the stage she gained a decided
triumph, her vocal powers having been fully
developed From that time she met With success
wherever she went. After travelling through the
country with concert troupes she decided on
gong upon the stage as lyric artist. Her first
appearance was al the olympic theatre in this CITY,
where she played the part OF Oberon in "A Midsum-
mer Nights Dream.r Snsrtly after she accepted an
engagement at Nlblo's, where she appeared as the
Fairy Queen IN the 'sWhtte Fawn.n Subsequently
