new scholars lately coming to the city. He
also says the school rooms are now

hundred. 1t seems something will have to

outside standpoint very pertinently and
truthfully remarks: The condition OF Ele
government clerk is not nearly 50 painful
as II has been described. The public has
been asked to sympathze with the un.
happy lot of the $500 department en-
ploye who is compelled to pay S72 year
in political assessments. When informed,
however, that he is paid at least $500 a
year more than he can possibly earn in
any other employment, the public may
put Its handkerchief in its pocket and de
cline TO shed any tears over his condition.
As matter of fact, the government clerk
has rather soft thing of il. His work is
light aud his hours are easy. If be gets
down late in the morning, like CHARLES
Lamb, he is perfectly willing to make
1t up by going away early in the
afternoon. Every year he is given
amonth's vacation, during which time his
salary goes on. During the six or seven
hours which comprises his days toll, he is
never overworked. AS fitness has nothing
to do with his appointment, il Is matter
fcourse that he is generally rather in.
ierlor person in point of ability The fact
is' he is invariably overpaid, and if kicked
out OF the departments would either
sink into some unremunerative employ
ment, go to the poorhouse, or starye. No.
body can defend the political assessment
business, but the government clerk has lii.
tie cause for grumbling."

Coast along with Captain Burton. Gold Is
found In the sea sand, In the dus,
OF the roads and In the mud walls of
the native huts. Several mining comma.

district, and they testify to the great posi-.
