smiling faces could be seen moving
about in the grove, which the Wick

on to pertake Of meal that surely did

More Significant Figures.

The census returns give San Fran cisco
a population of 342, 1872 this year, al
against 29S, 997 in 1890. The actual in
crease is but 43, 1856, little more than one
half as much as that for the city OF
Pittsburg. The percentage of increase
is only 1464. In other words, the popu
lation Of Pittsburg is but 81 900 less thar
that of San Francisco, excluding ALE
gheng and the boroughs, while the
actual Pittsburg is nearly twice as large
Boston, with total population of $50,
S92, against 44S, AIT in 1890, has made 6
gain of 25.07 percent. This is II pei
cent less increase than Philadelphia, an6
may be regarded as fair rate. Wher
compared with Pittsburg and Allegheny
combined Boston is not much larger and
with the big boroughs and McKeesport
the score is about equal 1t is such
statistics as these which emphasize the
folly of having Pittsburg divided into
separate minor municipalities for census
purposes when it is one in interest.
This fact will be continuously appa
rent as the important cities are reported
by the Census Bureau and may be ever
more prounced when the smaller munic
ipalities Of Allegheny county are re-
turned 1t is everywhere conceded the
heaviest rate of increase has been il

Martial Law in Pretoria.

If any further proof We're needed that
the Beers who continue their resistance
To the British army are to be treated
with rigorous severity such proof Is
furnished by the execution of Lieuten-
ant Cordua, recently convicted of con-
spring to abduct General Roberts and
to murder a number of British officers
The plot was ridiculous one. 1t
never had any chance of success. 1t
was so preposterous in all its details
that it is difficult to credit the sanity of
the man who concocted it. Lord Rob
erts himself made light of it from the
first and deprecated the Importance
which had been given to it All the
same, Cordua was tried by court-mar-
tial and having been found guilty was
sentenced to death. Lord Roberts con-
firmed the sentence and its execution
took place without delay.
There is little doubt that this course
of procedure was followed under posi-
tive instructions from headquarters
Lord Roberts would not have confirmed
the death sentence had he been left to
himself. He is opposed to severity at
all times and it must have been particu-
larly distasteful to him to be severe
under the circumstances Of this case.
In confirming Cordua's death sentence
he must have been carrying out the
express wishes of the British Govern
ment and the incident must be intended
as demonstration to the Beers of what
they have to expect hereafter if they
persist in their refusal to submit.
This is line of policy which 1t can
not be denied that the British Govern
ment is entitled to adopt according to
its idea of what is expedient, but the
fact that it should have adopted it
shows that it despairs of it being able
to bring the Beers to terms by any
other means than the uncompromising
application of superior force. There
can only be one result The tenacious
resistance Of the Beers must ultimately
be crushed, but what kind OF memories
are those which this procedure will
leave behind them?
The Transvaal will have to be populat-
ed over again before it can be converted
into peaceful and prosperous British
colony 1t will be long time till then.

As sung at the late reunion at Blairs-
vile. Published by request
Years have come and passed away,
Golden locks have turned to grey,
Golden ringlets once so fair,
Time has changed to silvery hair;
Yes, I've neared the rivers side,
Soon I'll launch upon the tide.
Soon my boat with noiseless oar
Safe will pass to yon bright shore.
| have trod the deck with pride,
Held the helm the boat to guide,
Blew the trumpet loud and shrill
For the man the lock to fill;
But the old canal is gone,
OF It's locks there's scarce stone
Left to mark the place Of yore
Where the mighty waters roared.
Oh these thoughts with magic power
Take Inc back to boyhood's hour,
From the mountain to the river
Scenes that are past and gone forever
Now the boatmen, one by one,
Take their place beneath the stone
We shall meet them here no more.
But we shall on yonder shore.
Soon III be among the blest,
Where the weary are at rest.
Soon I'll tread the golden shore,
Singing praises evermore.
Now my boat is on the stream,
can see the waters gleam;
Soon I'll be where angels roam,
Dear old friends, I'm going home.
CHORUS.
Let me see a boat again.
With its towline stretched and strain
ed,
Let me tread the deck once more
Ere pass to yon bright shore.

LiOnizing D'ArcOs.

The Duke d'Arcos, minister to the
United States from Spain, who went to
Chicago to attend the @. A. r.. encamp-
ment, was lionized from the time of his
arrival, but the climax was Monday
night, at the Iron brigade banquet. AS
he sat at the banqueting table to the
left of Toastmaster Mcdonnell, his eyes
opened with surprise when that gentle
man rose and said:
''Weshave with us tonight as guest
of honor nobleman, who, l think,
claims our admiration and esteem for
-the--tact and delicacy and discretion
with which he has filed the high office
of ambassador from his country, with
which we were so recently at war.

call upon this audience of men who
have buried all the animosities of the
past to rise and join me in drinking
the health of the ambassador from the
court of Spain, his grace, the Duke

Everybody was up and shouting.
The glasses went high in the air with a
mighty cheer Gen. Bragg sprang for
ward and drew from his coat d Spanish
flag, which he waved Mr.. Mcconnell
caught it and shouted: These will be
our colors tonight.
Then he wound them about the neck
Of the Duke d, ARGOS. The latters face
was flushed. He trembled in every
limb When silence was finally restor
ed, he bowed to the guests who had hon
ored him and said:
