A girl, prob ably ot 13 years, folded In an old threadbare ■bawl her yellow hair half hidden under a hide ous bonnet, from beneath which peered great brown eyes, a world too big for the small pinched face. I have always bad a weakness for brown eyes' and these were swimming In tears. "May I ask what you want ?" I said, banding ber a chair; and from under her shawl she pro duced a brown paper parcel, which 1 knew by in itluct contained manuscript. "We are very poor, papa and I," said the mite, wiping a few raindrops from the brown paper. -Papa writes beautifully, but no one will read what he doeswiite. .

I had told her stoiy to my good liieiid, Mrs. Frank Lovelasb, better known by her stage name to ihe i übllc, and thai best ol women had promised to hep we in the fii.fiTlmeut of my self- Imposed duty. We had decided to send Jeauie to school until she could choose ber own path In life.

It was five years before I saw my protege again alter her deuaituie for school, livery quarter brought me a letter from her, written lv a rouud huge hand lhal reminded me in some odd way of bet eves. Time and fate look me abroad, to travel' ibrough Hie Stales and Australia, so that, as I have said, five years passed without my see ing Der. At length I returned to dear, dingy London, weary ol travel, glad to be again In the old rooms, ana among the old familiar faces, to slip back to the old way of life.

She looked at me with a strangely mourn ful expression, essayed to smile aud then staggered, as a thin* stream ot blood trickled be tweeu her lips.

A large devil-fish which was caught In the * ocean between this fort and Honolulu waa - displayed yesterday In front of a store on Market street, and attracted _ large crowd of curious persons. The body of the crea ture is egg-shaped, and lias eight tentacles, on tlie under side of which are double rows of suckers. or valves, extending from the body to the point of the tentacles, which arc four feet long. The mouth is compara tively small, but is capable of enormous ex pansion. ' ALONG THE RAIL. Tbo Santa Fe Is About to Ex tend Its Line From Mojave. The report that a party ot surveyors have com menced operations on a proposed line from Mojave to this city, In the Interest of the Sauta Fe, seems to be well founded. A gentleman who lives near Mojave, and who Is Interested In the proposed extension, said that It bad long been the intention or the Santa Fe to extend their line to San Fraucisco, a distance of only 400 miles, and through a section of country where the ex pense of survey aud building would be compara tively cheap. The Santa Fe has been prevented heretofore from making this extension by the terms of a contract with the Southern Pacific Company, whereby the Sams Fa agreed not to extend Its line while allowed to run through lialns over the Southern l'acliic Company's lines. This was a lour years' contract, aud soon ex pires. It is safer to conclude that this contract will uot be renewed with the Southern l'acliic Company, as the management of the Santa Fe system has determined to have a line of its own fiom Chicago to Sau Francisco. The recent pur chase of Ihe St. Louis and Sau Fiaucisco road shows that the Santa Fe lacks neither caplial uor enterprise and that It has au eye ou the immense business now handled by the -Southern l'acliic Company alone. Though it is a laci not gen erally known, a number of high officials of the Saota Fe recently paid a visit to Mojave, and il ls understood by those ou the inside lhal the visit was uot wholly a mailer of pleasure.

The Work of Taking the Census Progressing Favorably. Estimated Gains in San Francisco— Hei Expected Frcm Special Inquiries. Tabulating the Returns. The big count has finally begun. Yesterday the 358 enumerators iv San Francisco proceeded wlih Ihetr work la a manner that was highly satisfactory to the Supervisor. A few seemed to become a little togged. For Instance, one man asked the Supervisor: "II wo git Ibe head of the family, we can let the rest go to smash, can't we.?" while another asked: "Do we lake children?" Mut such Instances weie few, and the reports from the enumerators yesterday afternoon were encouraging. Some bad a Utile difficulty with the Inmates of houses on Dupont and kindred streets, but upon Interpreters being sent for who could talk the Spanish, French, Japanese or li man language, as the case might be, the difficulty was oveicome. Chinatown was a surprise. The enumerators there seem To have had less trouble than the most sanguine expected. Fach euumeiator had with him an Interpreter, and that, with the official circular Issued by the Chinese Consulaie, seems to have smoothed away all difficulties. At 1 o'clock yesterday one enumerator had taken -00 Chinese names. It Is, of course, impossible to make an esti mate at this time of the Chinese population, In 1880 the census returns showed 21,790. Consul lie* thinks that the census this year will snow 15,000 Chinese In San Francl-eo, but other men who ought to know affirm that there are 60,000. T. S. Mllion, who had charge of tlio 1880 enu meration, thinks that there are now 30,000 people in Chinatown. The census of 1880 showed 233,959 people In Sau Fraaeisco. Siuce then the increase lias beeu mostly In the Western Addition aud the Mission. ConseivHtive estimates place the increase at 100,000, but there are other men, ell posted, who IbluK that limine excessive. OBJECTION- l ILK QCKSTIO.NS. The six questions against which the most ob jection-one made are the following: Whether suffering trom acute or chronic disease, with name of disease and length uf time .cted. whether detective in mind, sight, hearing or speech, or whether crippled, maimed or deformed, will) name c.r detect. Whether a prisoner, convict, homeless child or pauper. Is the house you life in hired, or is lt owned ny the head or a member of the lainly ? lf owned by tbe head or a member of family, ls the bouse free from mortgage Incumbrance 1 If the house Is owned by head or member of faintly, and mortgaged, what ls the postofflee ad dress or owner? In New Yoik a perfect storm of public indig nation has been raised against these questions, but solar the San Francisco enumerators have bad little trouble, although 11 Is not believed lhat many of the answers given to them are correct. Supervisor Davis is particularly well pleased with the sehctlou of enumerators so far. The _an Francisco district Is the largest In the Slate, and tl was uo small task to select pi oper men. The number of enumerators In the Stale lv each distilcl is as follows: First District 3-8, Second District 117. Third Dlstilct 209, Fourth District 121, Fifth Distilcl 10U, mailing a tolal of 1)7. m the Stale, The number of special subjects Inquired Into Is greater this year thau before, and much more atteniion is paid to them. Those relating to manufactures and Industries aie handled by spe cial ageuts lv the cities of Sau Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Saciaine tilo, Stockton, Marys vllie, Nana City, l'etaluma, Santa ltosa, Vallejo. ••aula Cruz and Los Angeles. Iv all other places the usual enumerators will do the woik. One of the subjects of special Inquiry Is that of food fishes. Sui -liutendeul Forter has Issued a bulletin to the special agents having charge of Hits inquiry lv winch he names every food lish lound lv auy of the waters of the United States. The list is a very long one. containing many names of fishes lhal the geueial public lias never beard. HOME AND F.UOI OWNEHSntP. From the inquiry luto homes, farms and mort gages Superintendent Toiler expects many good results. In a bulletin on the subject he says: It Is the Intention of this oflice to connect the re sults -c.-.ii some of the important facts obtained through the population schedule. The division of farm and home ownership between the sexes and the extent to which wives are owners will Oe a-..-,,, tallied.

There Is an allowance of $7 per day for each man's ex penses, besides the salaries. The Alaskan m quiry will be extended to many special subjects aud will luiuish valuable Information about Ibat Territory. l'ei haps the thing least understood about the census wink is the system of tabulating the le lums alter they have all been sent io Washing ton. It will be done by au electrical device culled the Hollerith system. It Is difficult to ob tain any reliable lnfoimalioi) about this system, the department at Washington for sonic reason refusing to explain Ils workings. A Call repre sentative had a talk Willi a mau who has seeu lt woik, aud by whom the modus opeiaiidl ls ex pluiued to be as tollows: TAD-LATINO THE B-T-BKB. First, the cleiks take the returns as they come from the enumerators and classify the questions. They have a peculiar-looking cam aboui inches long and 2 Indies wide, coveied wiih lillie cir cular duis, and in these dots aie marks indicat ing the various answers ihat may be relumed io the questions. A clerk lakes the return from John Junes, for Instance, aud punches three holes in a card, which correspond to the an sweis, "male," "white," "native." Then he takes another card and punch three more holes, "male," "while," " Engll-ti," Hie last meaning the language John Jones speaks: arid So in- toes ii, .uu. the list until he has a uuiu bet of cards, each with Ihiee holes punched lv them, lepieseullug the character ul John Jones 111 every possiblo combination. These cards are placed on a carrier, and are run along lo uu electilcal machine before which a cleik sits. Briefly, aside from Its internal inacliitilsm, ll cutisis.s of a row of billions corre sponding 10 the difleient combinations on tho cants, wild a row cf dials corresponding to the bullous, and also with oue big dial which tarns up the rasa of all the other dials. . There are Dity-slx of these dials and bullous In every ma chine. As the card passes bcloie the clerk, his trained eye sees what combination il represents, and he pushes Ihe proper button. A numb, ol electrical wires pass through the holes iv the card, form a circuit, and register on the dial above what holes ihey have passed througii. As The work goes ou, the big dial sums the whole thing up. These machines are said to work with wonder ful rapidity, li is understood thai the (joveni ineul pays tsu.oou lor Ihe use ol the system during this census. There were tluee system* presented for the approval of the Census Com missioners, and after most exhaustive tests, tin) tiollorilh system was adopted. II It works as 11 is expected to woi k Ihe tabulation of the cen sus will be dove in short order. CIVIL SERVICE. Examinations Are Progressing In tbe Ap i.i ..-..-' liuildlng.

J. bush and Edward Dement. Under the promise of strict secrecy, a representative of The (mi. was shown the questions asked and some of the answer sheets turned In by the applicants. . The questions all seemed to be applicable to the posi tions sought to be filled by the applicant, but not beyond the capacity of a graduate of the coiutnou schools. Those for the Hallway Mall Service applied particularly to the work they would be called upon to do, but some of the answers were ludi crous from the Ignorance shown. Others, again, were models of Intelligence and cleau work. All those who pass the examination aie placed ou the list of " ellglhles," and when a vacancy oc curs the head of the department selects one of the three highest on the list to till the place. The salaries of the places covered by the exam inations range from $1000 to $1800 per year.

The Trustees are, for some reason, exceedingly reticent about the mat ter and are not inclined to give out any information. Most of the competitors have preserved a similar secrecy, Out it is said that the design presented by Wright & Sanders consists of a circular column sur mounted by a figure of California. Groups of historic figures are arranged about tho base. Two sets of models will be presented by Seregni. One represents a figure of Cali fornia mounted on a square pedestal and holding ln one hand a shield, while in the other a banner is held aloft. At her feet are a horn of plenty aud a bear, surrounded by grain and fruits. The -first represents a mission father blessing an Indian, who is kneeling at his feet. The second delineates the figure ot a pioneer with gun in hand, and near him the bended form of a miner washing gold.

Considerable excitement was caused Sat urday night by the erection of a small 1 rama building in the center of Lincoln road, bet ter known as the old Almshouse road. About i o'clock Saturday ' afternoon a wagon-load of lumber was hauled to the corner of Eighteenth street and Lincoln road, and a gang of carpenters, acting upon instructions received from Adolph Sutro, immediately erected a small frame house in the center of the. road. Mr. Sutro then placed a watchman in charge with instruc tions to hold the road at all hazards. The property-owners in the vicinity be came indignant at what they considered an outrage on Mr. Kiitro's part and drove the watchman away, and toward midnight they blew the structure to pieces with dynamite. Sunday morning Mr. Sutro's son ap peared upon the scene with eight armed men, and finding the house demolished, caused deep trenches to be dug across the road, and also tineatened.to bring out one hundred Bra led men if necessary to close the road, whereupon Mr. Allien, a property owner aud resident of that vicinity, went to town and brought out a squad of police to restore order. The trenches were then filled up and Sutro's men withdrew. ■ Mr. Sutro, when interviewed yesterday, stated that tho road is simply a private affair, and that his gate and fence across it, which is his own private property, wero pulled down to enablo a real estate firm to run their tree bus from the corner of Mar ket and Seventeenth streets to property in the vicinity. lie further stated that he closed the road in order that purchasers may not he led into believing that the land has an outlet, whereas it lias none, aud he will carry the case into ihe courts. The property-owners on the other hand claim that the road has been open as a pub lic thoroughfare for thirty years, and was formerly used for travel to and from the Almshouse. They consider the closing of the road, an outrage, actuated by a feeling of jealousy.on the part of Mr. Sutro. Mr. Allien stated that he has been living in Eureka Valley lor over twenty-five years, and that wnile the laud in question be longed to the San Miguel Kuncho, before Mr. Sutro bought it, the road was a public one, and is laid down on the maps as a road fifty feet ide, known as Lincoln Koad. 'The majority of the people in that vicinity are reticent, only claiming to kuow that tho house was raised between 4 o'clock and dusk on Saturday evening, but all admit hearing an explosion some time during Saturday night and seeing the wrecked building Sunday morning. They declare that if Mr. Sutro attempts to erect another building on the road, or in any other way to impede travel there, they will join together and prosecute him lor at tempting to obstruct a public road.
