The people of California are disturbed

competitor for our trade with
Japan. The new line
| couver route is a fraction of a cent cheaper
per pound than the Sam Francisco route, the former will take the trade.” Why, then, are the people of San Francisco so much alarmed,
Rowdyism of American Fishermen.
During last week from fifty to sixty American seiners were at anchor under shelter of Souris Breakwater. The rowdy manner in which the crews of these crafts acted was simply disgraceful. In former years, American crews were largely made up of long shore men, of Nova Scotians, and « fair sprinkling of P. E. Islanders. These old time crews were not the best be- haved in the world, especially when in- spired by white eye or forty rod whiskey. They occasionally pummelled each other when on shore, with fists and brass-knuck- les und other pugilistic appliances. But they never equalled the rowdyism and drunkenness of some of the crews this year. That no one was killed is matter for surprise. One of them indeed was beaten so badly by four of his companions that he was given up for dead. He was missing for several days after their murderous at- tack, and we have not heard whether he has yet turned up or not. On Friday morning last, one of the fleet left Souris with her flag flying at half mast. Whether she carried any of the victims of their fights or not we have not heard. Besides drinking and fighting, some thieving was also carried on during the week. Not satisfied with stealing our fish alongshore, these high- minded citizens of the glorious Union must ticeds try their hand at thieving while on | shore, and asa result dairies were raided and rubbed in the vicinity of Souris. It is said that some of the men in the American
forced to | fishing fleet this year are fresh from jail and '
| penitentiary. lf we may judge by their conduct while at Souris, there can be little doubt as to the class of men in the Bay this season. On Saturday morning the captain of the cruiser Houlett, thinking, no doubt, that the fleet there had been quite long enough in shelter, ordered them to leave,
and though it was against the wishes of the
com- | skippers, as the morning was not favorable
for fishing, they had no alternative but to | obey, and accordingly hoisted sail and left. mt <i. Miorsford’s Acid Phosphate. ONE OF TRE BEST TONICS. Dr. A. Atkinson, Prof. Materia Medica and

“The Bitter Logic of Events.”
Sixty Yankee mackerel seiners from the North Bay homeward bound, anchored at Canso on Sunday. The highest fare was 270 barrels, the lowest 25, and the average 93. All these voyages but one have been cut short by running out of provisions. Two have been ‘‘on allowance” for some days, and have obtained special permits, the one at Mulgrave, the other at Canso, to obtain sufficient of the necessaries of life to continue their voyages home, They are terribly chagrined at the sad havoc ‘‘the logic of events” is making with their boasted independence of everything Cana- dian in the prosecution of either cod, _hali- but, or mackerel fishery, and Senator Frye is ranked among the small fry called sar- dines.

Mh, CHAS. ABERCOMBIE. SOLO TENOR,
This artist, for the past ten years, has been Solo Tenor to Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, and has appeared most successfully in Oratorio and Concerts at the Koyal Albert Hail, tbe Princess Hall, St. James’ Hall, the Crystal
Palace, Monday and Suturday Popular, and Covent Garden Promenade Concerts, fetc. Mr. Abercombie has a tenor voice that is full and sweet, and of very even quality, pleasing and
musical in every part, He sings with admirable tasteand with an attention to the elements of phrasing and sentiment ihat cannot be too highly commended. The clearness of his voice, and his perfect command of it are conspicuous characier- isties, whilst the intelligence and refinement dis- played in its cultivation rank him as one of the first tenors of the day.
Mr. Abercombie, immediately upon his arrival in this country, was secured by the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston, Mass., to sing the Tenor Solos in Gounod‘s masterpiece, ““Morsa et Vita."
MISS ANNIE TAUNTON, PRIMA DONNA,
Miss Taunton isa young and charming artist, endowed by nature with a voice of exceptional! range and purity of tone. She has studied the Italian and Knglish methods under the celebrated Duvivier, professor of Vocal art at the London Academy of Music, and has taken a foremost position amongst the leading Sopranos of the day. Gifted with a most engaging presence and win- some manner, she has gained a host of admirers and friends wherever she has appeared, in the drawing room or on the concert platform.
MISS ZETEMA. MEZZO SOPRANO.
This delightful little artist of ten summers, has a phenomenal voice and rare ability. Possessing naturally great dramatic talent, which has been judiciously trained, she wins the hearts of all her hearers. Her selections are of such acha- racter that her full powers are pleasingly dis- played, and secures for her, on atl occasions, the appreciation due to an earpest and capable candi- date for public favor.
MR. JOS. W. LEACH. BASSO CANTANTE.
This artist is the possessor of a most magnifi- cent and highly cultivated voice. From_ his first appearance in Oratoriosin the musical and criti- val city of Manchester, Kngland, his career has been one continuous success. His versatility is thorougbly displayed by the ease and perfection of his rendering of the broad and sublime Oratori- cal Works, while his bon homie is unexampled in the famous old English Ballads.
The late Mr. Frederic Clay, the eminent com- poser of modern ballads, considered this gentle- man to be one of the ablest exponents of his compositions,
MR. H. C. HOOPER. SOLO PIANIST.
This accomplished artist was associated for twelve years with the late lamented Sir Julius Benedict, and commenced and concluded his fifteen years studies under the eminent German pianist and composer Herr Cari House, of the Leipsic Conservatoire. His appearance in Lon- don at the Royal Albert Hall, the Princess Hall, and St. James’ Hall, the Crystal Palace, Alexan- der Palace and the mansions of the nobility,creat- ed such a furore that the management has the fullest confidence in introducing him to the edu- cated musical circles of America and the Cana- das,
MR, WALTER PELHAM. THE INIMITABLE FACIAL ARTIST.
The culture, refinement and extraordinary genius of this gentleman have given him a stand- ing never before attaiued by a mere human de- lineator of character. It is confidently believed that his entertainment will be accepted as the very highest order of talent, and unlike anything that has so far been presented, It combines the interest of a reading, the pictares and animation of a comedy, and the variety and humor of a varied delineation.
