who had iitteil out ti.
Theresa for Queuu Charlotte .
for black col.
She had returned, Sept. 17th, with
about 2,500 of these tine fish and had
again sailed for black cud with a full
crew of Newfoundland fishermvn.
Mr. Saunders was most courteous.
and handed Capt. Tanner the log
book of the Theresa, from which we
ascertained that the black cod had
been caught. ofl the west side of
Queen Charlotte Islands, in 210 and
220 fathoms of water. That the fish
were very plenty. but the crow being
composed of Indians who would on~
ly fish when they liked. and were idle
much of the time, the results were
not so good as he anticipates will be
with the present crew of Newfound-l
‘land fishermen. Mr. Saunders has
since sent the schooner Mary Ellen
foi‘black coil. He is determined to
go iiii‘o the business on an extensive
scale and feels sanguine that when
the merits of the black cod are known
to eastern inn:l:ots that there will he
a great demand for them, as they are‘
without exception the fattest and 1
most delicately flavored fish in the!l
North Pacific ocean. }
Mr. Saunders has had some black
cod slightly smoked, one of which he 3
presented to us and we had it cooked
on several mornings on the steamer
for breakfast and found it must de-
Jiciqrgs. Capt. Tanner and his elli
eefs pronouncrd the black cod, either
fresh or salted, to he one of the most
delicate and nutritious of food fishes
and they fully agree with Mr. Satin
ders that when the merits ' shall be
known to eastern markets there will
be a great sale for them.
From Mr. Saunders’ store we went
to George Vienna's fish market on
Government Streak Vienna is the
laraest fish dealer in Victoria and he
told Capt. Tanner that he considered
the black cod the host fish brought
to Victoria market; superior to an!
‘ men. He showed us an immense
sturgeon from the Fraser river, which
‘ weighed 1100 pounds. It was a mon
-1 star. » _ ,- , 7
Sturgeon is plenty in the Fraser
river and the Columbia, but as a food
fish is not much (ktm‘lufld although
is really one of the moist nutritious
of all food fish. But people on the
Pacitic coast have such quantities of
salmon, cod, halibut and other varie
ties that they don’t hunt for star
geon. It, is enquired for by eastern
purchasers, and will, before long.
take its placo as an important and *
volnalile article of food.
Although Saturday is not a good
day for fish in Victoria market, yet
we saw a goodly variety of salmon.‘
halibut. true cod, cultus cod, whiting.
kelp fish, tom (soil, sinclts, etc. and
quantities of crabs, shrimps and
prawns. \Vhon we left, Mr. Vienna
presented Capt~ Tanner a bnqnet of
most bountiful dablias, which was
accepted and duly appreciated. as a
Courteous act indicative of the friend
ly appreciation of the services which
the Albatross is rendering the -
ple of British Columbia. as wema
‘ tLe citizens of the United States by
her work of developing the fisheries

the following anecdote: “On one oc

Specimens of all the deep sea souud- l
ings are preserved in glass jars. so 1
that they can be seen and examined.
The fish and mollusks are placed in
alcohol, and so arranged that thev
can at all times be seen and studied.
These jars are arranged on one side
of the laboratory and between them
are dried specimens of starfish. Gobi

In cases along two sides of the
laboratory are specimens of birds and
mammals and jars of alcoholic speci

ones are placed in great tanks of al«
cohol, and there are immense quanti
ties on board the vessel, stowed away
in the hold. A person could spend
months of profitable study in exam—

board the Albatross which have been
taken during her northern eruise.

When) is there another infallible
school superintendent \\ hose mind is
as pure as his soul is nublv, that
would belittle hilueulf :0 much by
making use of such dismal and» as
thpseraliove mgmfiioned} #
Had he said instead, I am not a
politician and have always endeavor
ed to do what is right, no meaning
would have been lost. He would
have been fully understood. better
believed and much more respected
by both opponents and irieuds.
Now. for the sake of those who may
not know. 1 would make the follow—
ing statement: That the beginning
of this whole controversy resulted
from the fact that we were both an
plicants for the same school and that
the iositien was awarded to me in—
steail of him; and before I could take
charge of the school questions of the
gravcrtt kind presented themselves at
once. The teiichers’ examination was
coming on and it was conceded by
‘somo that this school was of such
a high rank in scholarship that only
‘ a disciplined teacher of the first grade
lwas competent to teach it. And I
certainly found some llllllueil with
such lofty ideas that it was uttn-rly!
impossrlile to impress them with the
Imoro rudimentary principles. 1 took
Hho examination and of course was.
very anxious to ascertain my alumi
ing before the certiticuum Were is
sued, but was refused any informa
tion, on the plea that it. was not
known which of the eight numbers I
held. But a more worthy genius
readily found out not only my nnmv.
'ber. but my standing. I therefore
knew what was coming the next- morn
ing when I went to the school house
to receive the famous document; and
a! tor a brief examination of the same,
asked the superintendent to let me
see my papers, to Which he replied
by ridiculing me; and when the other
members of the board arrived, he on
deavored to secure for me the bitter
hostilities of the board. by saying to
them: “What do you think? Why.
he says you have cheated him,” which ‘
I denied, and said that I wished onlyi
to see my papers, which I had a per~
fact right to see. Then after a good
deal of unnecessary talk, he finally
said, in a most overbearing manner,
“Well, I will let you see them five
minutes, but I am not going to stay
here all‘ day to have you look at the
papers.”
This. Mr. Editor, is the key noteto
the whole examination tronbk’. It
was not the low grade, so much, but
it was, and most decidedly is, the
manner in which he treated me after-
“'ltld‘i. Such treatment was tintiroly

She was quite unlike the Mary Ander
son with which the theatrical world
that is, the part that; constitutw an nud‘l
encc—i.; familiar. Standing beside her
this very same night, was a. very ardent
admirer and intimate friend of Miss An
derson, from whom I have heard much of
the luttcr‘s character and personal nt~
tributes since, and much that I have
heard enhances an opinion that I have
long held, that. all professional people,
whether :zcmrs, artists or authors, lead
two distinct lives—the one for the public,
the other for themselves and their friends.
Since I have known Miss Anderson I have
met many of her friends, and there is not
one who will say that this beautiful
actress is as cold as she is invariably rep
resented to be by n. discriminating public.

“DOGTORING OLD TIME." '
A Striking Picture—A Revival of Old
Time Simpfleltlct.
In one of Harper’s issues is givena
very fine illustration of Roberts’ cele<
bratcd painting, known as “Doctoring
Old Time.” It represents a typical old--
timer, with his bellows. |blowing the
dust from an ancient clock, with its
cords and weights carefully secured.
One of these clocks in this generation is
appreciated only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name, “Doctor-ing Old
Time,” bringsto our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose
“ Old Time Doetoring."
“'0 learn, through a reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country. has been
for vears investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ning of this (century, and even before,
with a view of ascertaining Why people
in our eat~grandiathers’ time enjoyed
a healtllr and physical vigor so sel om
found in the present generation. They
now think they have securedthe secret or
secrets. They tlnd that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that, “Nature
has a remedy for every existing dis
order," was true, and acting under this
belief, our grand arents used the com
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pnsn upon the forest domain, has made
these herbs :less abundant and has
driven them further from Civilization,
until lllc)’ have been discarded, as
remedial agents because of the dilliculty
of obtaining them.
11. il. Warner, proprietor of \Varner's
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observatory, llochester,N. Y., has been
pressing investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his firm is now
preparing medicines, tobe sold by all
druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under
the gemral title of “Warner's Log Cabin
remedies.” Among these medicines will
be a “sarsaparilla,” for the blood and
liver, “Log Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy,” for the stomach, ete., “Log Cabin
cough and consumption remedy,” “Log
Cabin hair tonic,” "Log Cabin extract,"
.er internal and external use, and uh old ‘
valuable discovery for catarrh, called!
“Lo: (labia rose cream." Among the‘
list is also a “Log Cabin plaster," and 3
a "Log Cabin liver pill.”
From the number of remedies, it will
he seen that they do not propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. It is
believed by niaiiyitlmtlwith these rem.
ediee a new era is todavm upon suffer
ing humanity and that the close of the
, nineteenth century will see these roots
3 and herbs, aseompounded under the title
1 of Warner’s Log Cabin remedies, as pup
: ular as they were at its beginning. -ll
; though they come in the form of pro
; prietary medicines, yet they will be none
: the less Welcome, for suffering humanity
I hasbecometired of modern (lecturing and
1’ the public has great confidence in any
5 remedies put up by the firm of which
i 11. H. Warner is the head. The people
. have become suspicious of the etl‘ects of
l doctoring with poisonous drugs. For;
3 realizze the injurious eti'ects following the
t pra-seriptions of many modern physicians.
{ These ctl‘i-cte of poisonous drugs, already
I prominent, will become more pronounced
, in coming generations. Therefore Wei-an
cordially wish the old-fashioned new
‘ handles the best of success.
