San Marine, which has an area of II
square miles. Its population is 5000,
the capital claiming $50 souls. The
"Arringo," composed of heads OF

people. The Council is represented by
two captains-regent. These hold office
for six months, and are not eligible
again for three years. One stands for
the professions, the other for the agri.
cultural classes. To avoid favorltism,
Justice is administered by stranger.
The army is made up of ali male citizens
from 10 to so years old. This consists
of nine companies Of l40 soldiers each,
or 1860 men in all. The receipts and
expenditures about balance, each being
little over $4,000. OF this amount
$4,000 is devoted TO the army. There is
no public debt. There are public
library, hospital, u cathedral, and u
university.
