OUR LITTLE JIM.

wan little face. clothes soiled and torn,
Selling the papers night and morn,
Brave little Jim, beneath those ragged clothe.
Lies the metal pure, as bright as those
Who go down to history and fame
For heroic deed, with hOnOred name.
"Her yer air, Mister, Hr'ld, Tins or Spress,
All bout th'r acsurd mt ter th'r press,
Take 'em all, mister, three for dime;
Sally's sick, she wants me bad sometime.
Wur do live? Down in thur alley,
Me, mother, Bob and sister Sally.
Want ter see EN-, we'll, yer may
Ill yer come now er some other day?
Sally's my sister, told yer before;
Her we air, mister no, other door,"
"Yes, he's my son. my little man
Provides for us all, as best he can.
Widow, yes, my husband, an engineer,
Died at his post, else we were not here.
When did he die and how?
About four years ago, allow
The auburn division" was his ''run."
One day coming down the mountain side,
Yes, il was on this side the "Divide,"
He seen a boulder on the track
Jump? No, he was not that kind
To danger my husband was ever blind
Oh, surely, of us he must have thought,
But duty, by love, was not bought.
He stuck to his post, lives to save,
And on the mountains found grave.
We drifted here, the story is long.
My little daughter ill., l never strong,
Little by little our money went,
Only the poor can tell how soon 'tis spent.
Apply to the charitable no, not l.
When 1t comes to that, we'd rather die.
We struggled along as best we could
Oft with neither fire or food
Then to our aid came my little man;
He could make money, he had a plan
Could loan him just two-bits;
Yes, sir, necessity sbarpens the wits
The papers he'd sell on the street,
And all our wants he would meet.
Has he done so-he brings me every dime
The wolf from the door has driven each time.
Early and late, oh how he strives
To bring some happiness to our lives.
Yes, there are some who curse and cuff
IT'S some mems nature to be so rough,
And yet, If they knew his story-well,
Would they be any kinder-who can tell;
An education-his chances are slim;
He is only nine-our little Jim. JNo.

{ FROM the number of communications
that reach this Office on the subject of
the Rev. Fleming's conviction, it is evil
dent that there is an aroused public
interest in his case. The people
who send us their views on the reverend
gentleman's guilt or innocence seem to
be about equally divided, although
those who assert his innocence, or at
least who consider that he has been
made the victim of vindictive prosecu-
tion and the verdict of puzzle-headed
jury, have the best of the argument.
These communications are coming in so
numerouslv that one is led to believe we
have large share of married men who
are afraid to trust themselves at home
when their wives and children are at
the seaside. Perhaps they are afraid
they may know how it is themselves.

ONE of the finest of the old school
actors who adorned the stage and ele-
waited the drama in past years, has just
died in New York. Harry Edwards,
who for many years was favorite in
San Francisco, and held his rank in New
York amongst such actors as Lester
Wallack and John Gilbert, succumbed
suddenly on Monday to heart disease
and dropsy. He was an enthusiastic
entomologist, and at one time had the
largest collection of insects in the coun-
try. In such characters as Sir Peter
Teazle, Sir Walter, Tybalt, Bassanio,
ETC., he had no superior. He was pro-
found Shakespearean scholar, and man
of liberal culture in the classics and the
arts.

The administration has an elephant
on its hands in the Itata. There has
been shameful blundering in this
affair all round, from the time the
vessel was ostensibly seized by
q marshal without warrant of law
to the bungling act of Admiral Nc
Cam when he threw out threat to the
congressional party in Chile if they did
not deliver her over with all her cargo.
What had he to do with her cargo? and
what did he know officially about what
was in her hold? Whether it was red
herrings or nickel plated guns, it was all
the same none of his business.

On THE first of July our city library
will be free to the public. The dues for
library privileges heretofore have been
only nominal, but the directors have
done wise and liberal thing in abolish
ing the m altogether. Under its present
management this institution has taken
rank as one of the best public libraries
in the state. Its shelves are filled with
books that have been selected with care
and discrimination, and this fact is duly
by the public.

SAN Francisco is blessed with crank
who periodically blazes before the pub
lie, first in the light of a generous phil
anthropist and then as an Indian giver
who wants to take back what he gave
with loud flourish of trumpets. There
is, however, one of his peculiar multiple
gifts which he is careful not to with
draw. By the aid OF an absurd board of
supervisors he was permitted to deface
the streets with ugly cast-iron drinking
fountains, conspicuous for the cast-iron
effigies of his cast-iron figure sur
mounting each of them. He had these
worthless things cast by wholesale at
some cheap eastern foundry, and there
was but one city that had the bad taste
to let him thus advertise himself. A
while ago he took another generous fit
and founded polytechnic school, and
placed it in the hands of trustees as a
public institution. The trustees ac-
cepted it as a gift to the city for the
benefcent purposes for which it was
originally designed. But recently ne
got into a quarrel with the trustees and
it now appears as if he intended to take
back his gift. 1t seems that in the pa
pers creating the trust, he was
careful to incorporate some provisions

A PRODUCE commission merchant said
to us yesterday that he had just re-
ceived a telegram from Chicago cancel
ling an order for five carloads of pota
toes, unless sent at once. "Now," said
he, "the opportunity to sell those pota-
toes is lost; and that is not the worst of
it, there are many more orders for car
loads that will be cancelled simply be-
cause we cannot fill them on account of
the failure of farmers to keep their con-
tracts with us. The five carloads
were contracted to be delivered
to me by the grower several days
ago. All he had to do was to dig the po-
tatoes and haul them to the station. He
made no effort to do so, and lose my
commissions and he good price for his
potatoes. Time is the essence of these
potato contracts, for if not delivered in
Chicago before certain date, they
come into competition with potatoes
from Nebraska, Kansas, etc." This
same merchant informed US that while
white men often fail to fulfill their con-
tracts, the Chinese never do, and that
he has known the latter to hire
an unusual force of men to de-
liver potatoes on time rather
than break their agreement. This
does not sound well; but if it is the
truth it ought to be stated. 1t is not to
be presumed that white farmers, as
rule, are Indifferent to their engage
ments. But it is annoying to learn that
even any proportion OF them should fall
behind the Chinese in their punctuality
to keep their business engagements.

Escane Of Prisoners,

The report that prisoners have been and are
constantly escaping from that malignant
gaoler, liver complaint is fully corroborated
by the self-liberated captives. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are, they say, the means by
which they get rid of their fetters. Few alto.
gether avoid the bondage OF this ailment and
few are unacquainted with its signs, viz, pain
through the right side and shoulder blade,
furred tongue, yellowness of the eyeballs and
skin, sour breath, sick headache dyspepsia and
constipation Hostetter's stomach Bitters
puts Il prompt period to these, brings them to a
full stop in short order Whether the trouble
is chronic or temporary, this medicine is
equally effective, regulating the liver and
bowels thoroughly. II is likewise sovereign
remedy for rheumatism, kidney complaint
malaria, heartburn and nervousness.

All Round Championship.

The all round amateur championship
of America was recently decided at New
York. Malcolm Ford, the winner on
several previous occasions, did not COM
pete. Alexander Jordan won, and for
the first time in the history of the COM
petition qualified in all ten events. T.
j. Mooney, of the New Jersey Athletic
club, made wonderful good showing
and came within a few points of Jordan.
E. w. Golf, who is not yet out of his
teens, showed up remarkably well.

if he saw fit to do so. At least he thinks
he can do SO, but the trustees say the
papers are all right, and that this is one
OF the gifts he has made which he neg
