BALLS REVOLUTION.
Bakery and Confectionery on Scientific

A Bakery and Confectionery on Scientific
Principles.
Since the old Globe bakery, known as a
bread headquarters since Salt Lake began
passed into the hands of S. F. Bal
& Co., it has steadily risen in im-
portance till now it controls til,
wedding cake, bread and fine confectioner,
trade of the city. Mr.. Ball has everythin,
operated by steam, from the urn that heats
coffee up to the heating of his kitchen and
dining rooms, and a reporter who went
through the place found everything oper-
ated in the most Clearly, modern
and app: owed style. Balls cakes, Balls
wedding suppers and Balls candies long
ago became famous, and now that he is
provided with all the best conveniences for
carrying out his pet theories, his fame will
take another step up the ladder.

of our now noted local writers. Just a
verse from the poe to show that although
perhaps only half awake, the soul of genius
was there enshrined.
81 cannot go to rest but linger still,
In meditation at my window-sill,
While like the twinkling stars in heavens
dome,
Come one by one, sweet memories of home. "
The kind-hearted editor of the Exponent
at once recognized the touch of talent, if
not genius, in the verses, and scrupled not
to write back warm. encouraging words to
the young rhymer. She was an old, tried
friend, and to her he sent all his early eff
forts. The next poem, Lakeside Mus
ings," written on Lake Erie, Ohio, was
also published in the Exponent, and so
pleased was the editor that she had num-
Der of extra sheets struck off, sending
several to Whitney. Through a friend,
one of these copies fell into the hands of a
noted lawyer, Mr.. Adams, of Cleveland,
who was enthusiastic in his praise, and
paid glowing tribute to the talents of the
young author.
This poem begins:
Il stood on Fries foam washed strand,
And watched the ripples beat
Upon the bed of golden sand
That glistened at my feet.
Ripe autumns yellow burning sun
Blazed DER the sea-girt west
But fingered, ere his race was run,
To gid each snowy crest
With liquid fire, in crescents bright,
And dancing on the sea,
Like airy sylph, or water sprite,
In mirthful revelry."
The sun of encouragement shone kindly,
and in time 1.-THE Land OF Shinehah" was
written. This is as fine and majestic a
piece of verse as 1 have seen outside the
pages of the classics. 1t is a description of
the land of Kirkland, the early home of the
Latter-day Saints, and on its pages live and
glow the hills, the running streams, every
feature of the landscape once so dear TO
the fathers and mothers of my people.
"Enthroned upon the verdure- covered hills,
Kissed by the dewS that feed her gushing rills,
Wooed by the waves afar on Fries strand,
Is Shnehah, the fair and favored land"
The rich imagery, the vivid pictures bear
the true impress of genius. One descrip-
ton is almost equal to the word coloring of
Byron.
II stand upon the summit of hill;
The evening shades descending cold and still,
Are folding in the sable pail of night,
The twilight beauties fading on the sight.
But far away, in colors warm and true,
Ny vivid fancy sees another view,
Rise clear and bright upon the mental gaze,
Like wakened memories of forgotten days"
Interspersed between the more preten-
tious poems are little gems of verse, while
occasional selections from his poetic prose
writings vary the otherwise rich monotony.
Here is tiny jewel called
wit AND WISDOM
"As deepest waves with darkest volume flow.
Though gems lieIgIittering in their depths below,
So wisest thoughts will oft the dullest seem,
While wits bright bubbles gid the shallow
stream"

''ARisToCRACY."

DAVIS 6 STRINGER.
A Firm Well Equipped for the Real Estate
Boom.

Boom.
The firm of Davis & Stringer at % w.
Second South, is one of the best equipped
in the city to attend to the wants of real
estate buyers or sellers. T. A. Davis, the
senior members was banker at Rico and
Telluride, and a member of the city
council in Kokomo, Ind, while Mr.
Stringer was formerly secretary of the
board of trade in the same place, as well as
secretary of the company that put
down the first natural gas well
in Indiana; he was besides member of the
Kokomo city council, and has had long
experience in real estate and insurance
The firm has an excellent location here, is
settled permanently, and has one of the
most finished offices in the city. Their re-
sponsibility is attested by their past record
and the fact that they are heavy owners in
Salt Lake realty. Mr. Alfred E. Duncan,
their bookkeeper, was formerly of Duncan
& Mcclure, Ogden, and is an expert in ac-
counts, and is a notary besides. Mr.. j. F.
Major, formerly large real estate dealer
in Wichita, is the regular solicitor for the
firm

My space will not allow further quota
tons from this barbed missile against cor
ruption and tyranny, which, to my mind,
is the most vigorous and incisive of the
authors writings, and which alone will go
far towards creating a call for a second
edition.
1t is unfinished, being fragment from
1881, but if completed would furnish
poetic mirror of many scenes OF vice and
wrong doing which have occurred in our
fair territory since the days of the John
ston army.
After prose selection on Byron's
birthplace-which great poet by the
way, was our local bard's earliest
fayorite, follows the now famous
christmas Idyl,'' which has been read
and recited until familiar to most Utah
readers.
A poet is not poet unless the wizard
Love has touched him with his wand, roll

while closed the sepulchre, bringing forth
from the long sleep within the lord of love
who rules and reigns in all humanity.
A little love ballad speaks eioquently of
tue depth and warmth of the love nature
strong within him. Like its inspirer, the
ballad is bright, dainty sprite, and be-
gins:
Thou art lovely, thou art fair,

The poem called the Ancient of the
Mount" is sweeping melody descriptive
of the mountain Businesses around US. The
poet stands in questioning contemplation
of the beetling crags and peaks of his ma
tive land, and is answered by the Spirit of
the mountain, or as the imaginary being is
termed ''The Ancient of the Mount" who
essays to tell the tale of archaic America.
The description is very fine, and in places
reaches sublimity. This was the poem
chosen by our gifted historian, Tullidge, to
represent the young author in the poets
chapter of the history of Salt Lake city.
1t is as yet, however, unfinished, and ap-
pears in the book as fragment.
The next poem of importance is slash

proves the fact that the poets pen can cut
and thrust with keener edge and more
effective strokes than a blade of Damascus

is sort of index to the interior. Here are
two or three excerpts, just to indicate the
character Of the whole:
- The times are out Of joint nor surgeons

whose forehead is inscribed 'Materialism, y
pers. Yet even their fleshly leaders, the
Aarons who give way to the force of the
popular current, aye even the scoffers and
Ingersolls, all look up into the holy noun
tain with secret awe, an unexpressed
longing for the blessings of peace and con-
tentment, now held only by the Moses of
earnest, childlike faith.
The closing verse of the invocation,
Roll on my days responsive to Thy rule,
This tongue thine oracle, this pen thy tool;
Designed to SOAR or doomed to lowly plod,
Amanuensis of the mind of God!'
is a fitting expression for the earnest,
deeply religious soul that speaks through
all these pages.
We are always in :erested in knowing
something about the beginnings OF our
poet friends; where first the divine blaze
received its kindling spark. 1 remember
a little anecdote told me by Whitney; he
was travelling through one of our beautiful
canon gorges, in company with Miss Julia
Murdoch NOW Mrs. Fotheringham) and
other friends, when she, who had even
then published some verses, challenged
him to "build rhyme" He accepted, and
for the first time a few stanzas were formed
and uttered. Crude and lame they were;
but in the nature of a revelation, for never
again was the youth of eighteen to be free
from the spirithr had so aimlessly invoked.
The next poem Of the collection bears the
date December. 1875 wri ten at Plymouth,
Penn, and was the first poem of Whitney's
that found its way into print. H was
then twenty one, and travelling in the east

Bible worthless, such as Enoch and Joseph
These are full of the fire and CLEAN of
of God and the fervor of religion, furnish
rich treat of prophetic inspiration.
Then follows one of the most perfect Sc
lections in the whole book, very mosaic
of rare loneliness. The tender thought and
pure, lofty tone are in exact similitude
with the subject treated. s'The Mountain
and the Vale'' is worthy the pen of classic,
and l take the liberty of reproducing it
entire:
THE MOUNTAIN AND THE VALE"
There's a mountain named Stern Justice
Tall and towering gloomy, grand
browning DER vale called Mercy,
Loveliest in all the land.
Great and mighty is the mountain.
But its snowy crags are cold,
And in vain the sunlight fingers
On the summit proud and bold.
There is warmth within the valley,
And 1 love to wander there,
Mid the fountains and the flowers
Breathing fragrance on the air.
Much love The solemn mountain,
1t doth meet my somber mood,
When, amid the muttering thunders,
Ger my soul the storm clouds brood.
But when tears like rain, have fallen
From the fountain of my woe;
And my soul has lost its fierceness,
Straight unto the vale 1 go;
Where the landscape gently smiling,
Ger my heart pours healing balm,
And, as oil on troubled waters,
Brings from out its storm calm.
Yes love both vale and mountain;
Ne'er from either would part;
Each unto my life is needful,
Both are dear unto my heart.
For the smiling vale doth soften
All the rugged steep makes sad,
And from icy rocks meander
Rills that make the valley glad
To me this is one of Whitney's finest
poems.
The verses written on the death of the |
and beloved wife of Mr. H. NJ. |
Wells are as tender as tears, as gentle and
sad as the immortelles now growing on her
grave.
A similar strain OF sad beauty is his
atest poem, addressed in friendly sym
oathy to Mr.. c. S. Burton, whose recent
oss has grieved so many hearts. Music
oy the gifted Careless has been set to the
words, and they were sung at the funeral

Arrival at Lisbon.

LISBON, April 22.-Forty two of the crew
and all of the passengers of the Danmark
not taken to America by the Nilsson have
arrived here. Mr. Raben, the first officer,
who is among them, reports that on April 4
the Danmarks shaft was broken; On the
next day the disabled steamer met the
steamship Missouri, from London, March
%, for Philadelphia and Baltimore
The Missouri towed the Danmark until the
9th, when the latter seemed about to sink.
At first the Missouri was only able to take
aboard twenty Of the Danmarks passengers,
but after having jettisoned a portion Of her
cargo found accommodations for the crew
and passengers of the Danmark. The Mis-
souri, then proceeded to the Azores and left
there the first and second officers and
800 passengers. She, then continued her
Journey to Philadelphia with $40 passengers
and tho remainder Of the crew.
The captain and three engineers of the
Danmark left the Azores on the 14th for
London The Danmark was about 800 miles
from Newfoundland when the accident hap
pened. Some say that the engines broke
down. Engineer Kaas was found dead in the
engine room after the accident. The cap
tain and three engineers proceeded to Lon
don on board steamer from Demarara.
The death of the Danmark's engineer was
due to the bursting of an engine pipe. The
engineer was killed on the spot, and the ship
was badly damaged. In consequence OF this
damage, together with the breaking of the
shaft, the vessel was helpless in the heavy
saas that prevailed

1859. At the end Of 1887, when the pop
ulation had risen to 81, ,750, 900, the aver
age number was only 962. On the last
day of 1865 there were 1890 persons
