Economical Cinnamon.

Living among the the humble classes
of Chinese working in San Francisco is
very cheap. A man who earns only
four cents day will live on two cents
and two meals; the remaining two cents
will pay for the shelf on which he lies at
night and what clothing he may need.
For ten cents day Cinnamon can get
in Chinatown two meals of rice, salt fish
and vegetables, and wash each
meal down with cup of good
Cargon. Ten persons eating twice
a day of two kinds of meat and vegeta-
bles, and the never absent rice and tea,
can board for $1.25 each a month.

TOMMY JONES.
BY LYDIA n. JACKSON.

BY LYDIA d. JACKSON.
Tommy Jones was left an orphan
Ere he reached the age of seven,
Without friends and without money,
Without any home protection.
Some kind farmer gave him shelter,
Fed and clothed him through one winter,
Then he drift,d to another,
Lived with this one, then with that one,
No one ever wished to keep him;
He was lazy and unruly,
When he was but scarcely sixteen,
Still a boy in heart and stature,
He enlisted as a soldier
In the war of the Rebellion.
Ee found favor with the soldiers;
He was full of fun and froiic,
Never sad. and seldom weary,
Never like them heavy hearted;
He had left no home. no kindred,
No one who had ever loved him;
Long beneath the sod had rested
The one who had ere caressed him,
Hhe had faded from his mem'ry
Till of her, he called his mother,
There was left but Gin picture.
And her grave, the weeds and brambles
Had, for years, completely hidden.
To his heart stern, old soldier
Took this wayward, happy comrade,
FOR Tom laughed away his sorrows;
Often, when at evening sitting.
Weary-worn by the day marching,
0Ioomy with the tn lights of loved ones
Who for him were sadly waiting;
Tommy, on the log beside him,
begged him sing or tell story,
And the boys hearty laughter
Made the gloomy evening CHEEKY.
On the battle field of Shiloh,
When the last days fight was ended,
The old soldier searched for Tommy,
Searched and found him with the fallen.
Tenderly he took his body
From among the dead and wounded,
4ade his grave, not in the bitches
' here they piled the other bodies,
But apart and near the river,
LIZA sunny spot secluded.
0arked the grave so friends might find it,
Knowing not that Tom was friendless,
Thinking that perhaps kindred
Would be sometimes searching for him.
And his thoughts return to Shiloh,
To that grave beside the river,
For which none has yet been seeking,
Which the careless stranger visits.

touched the panel and moved cautious

find anything, and the gentlemen who
owned it stopped whistling suddenly
nd grew red in the face. He coughed
violently and walked to the other end of
the bar to expectorate. On his way
back he glanced sharply at the panel
and saw leaning against it the ivory
handled umbrella. The performance
was repeated. The stranger was begin

norant as the fulfllment Of his prophecy.
Virgins is but subordinate employe Of
the Ottawa concern, and, by expert sci
entists, said to be ignorant Of scientific
knowledge, making only wild guesses at
chances based upon what he thinks is
likely to follow any great disturbance,
and nothing more. The poor terrorized
people in the earthquake belt, have
learned Of this trickster's prophecy, that
they are to be again visited with destruc-
tion, and all the teaching and explana-
tions OF the press and clergymen failed to
relieve their fears. II for no other cause
than this, Virgins should be arrested
and imprisoned where his senseless ut
terances could not reach the outer world,
but aside from this, the gentlemen who
control the Ottawa observatory, owe it TO
their own good names, and the fair name
OF science, to remove this blot on their
profession, nor let an ignorant seeker
after notoriety, becloud the good name
OF the gentlemen there who profess and
teach astronomical science.

BLADDER WIGGINS.

vi all the rank nuisances now dividing
the attention OF the country, including
the sea serpent, Pleuro-pneumonia the
Maine majority, and the grand and an
tlered buck which the President did not
shoot, the rogue Virgins, OF Canada, an
employe OF the Ottawa observatory, is
the meanest. For years past this man
has vomited forth prophecy after
prophecy, telling of storms by sea and
land, earthquakes, cyclones and other
natural disturbances of the elements,
until his name is heard with awe by the
ignorant and credulous, and every sea-
son that brings about the vernal or au-
tuminal equinox is made period OF mu-
tual suffering to all who may not have
sufficient knowledge of the motions of the
earth, to know that at these times, dis
turbances are more likely and frequent
than when the poles are nearest the sun.
For the past two years, the Atlantic coast
line has been visited by severe storms.
and great loss OF life has followed, all of
which Virgins claims to have predicted,
and strange as it looks to sensible men,
many people believed him, and are thus
plunged in fear at each prediction of ruin
he utters. The signal service corps re-
cords show that though the storms of
these two years were heavy ones and dis
astrous to life and property, they we're by
no means phenomenal, other storms
having swept the same territory regularly
for hundred years before, but Virgins
30 formulates his lying utterances, that
he can come in and claim the fulfllment
OF his prophecies, no matter when the
storms occur. The recent awful agta-
tion OF the earth in the Island of New
Zealand, brought him to the front again,
and he yawped out that this country
would be visited by like scourge, and
the occurrence at Charleston and sur
rounding country was held up by the ig-

SALT LAKE TRADE REVIEW.

In to-morrow's issue OF the DEMOCRAT
will be included a Trade Review of the
multtudinous business of this city, OBJ
tanned by personal interviews with all
who are represented in the list, and in no
sense is it puff, but fair statement of
things as they are in the daily routine of
business. The rise and growth of out
side business, having its centre in this
city, is of recent origin, and mainly at
tributable to the enterprise OF the various
railroads in opening up means whereby
the Salt Lake merchant can reach
the Colorado consumer on terms as
easy as the Denver merchant
can, with the call in favor
of Salt Lake, The Denver q Rio Grande
under its new management through the
personal efforts of Messrs. Bancroft and
Bennett, has so arranged matters with
the other parts OF the road beyond the
Colorado State line, that a Salt Lake
merchant can now place his goods on the
Colorado market at the same cost of
transportation as is paid by the mer-
chants OF Denver, and even now the
