senator says Astoria interests will be
guarded. We are not at liberty to
nAlilh the full1 "dispatcn this morning,
as it is a" long one, and must come be
fore the Chamber of Commerce before
publicity is given to it entire, but we
cb'iifess'that U strengthens' our faith.
The days are hiimbered (let us hope)
when 'Astoria is to be fettered and
hampered for want of more" reliable

interior.

Zemrk Goodall, Perkins &'jCo.,
agents for the Pacific coast line of
steamships, have" canvassed Asteria:
They .know all about Gray's harbor,

Auber "Fr DiaTolo."
Referring to ,"Fra Diavolo," the
New'Yotk Sun tof'the ilth 'sasr" It
it a significant tribute to. the genius of
the "great French master that - two r of
hisworks should have Deen represent
cd'lat' evening in this city (and 'both
in languages other than those in which
tae 'operas were written), Masaniello"
being given in Italian at Niblo's "Gar
den, 2Ji "Fra Diavolo" in English at
the Fifth Avenue Theatre.
ind the tribute'wasnoless deserved
Uiafe. significant, for if ver a man
possessed the .gift of melody, litavas
AuVer. "It stayed with liim also to
the last, for he -presented the remark
able and, so far as we are aware, the
only .instance oi a composer writing
and producing a' fresh and. spontan
eous work .at an age when most men
who-Jive ao long are in their do
tage, for his -"Premier Jour de Bon-heur-cUrious
fcitte for an octogena
rian's .work he brought out in Paris
when he Was. 80. "
5?Jie, Opera.
For "a, great ananyyeafce past Astoria
has been considered too far removed
to betever blessed vith visits from
greafyeelebrities ontne stage and when
it was .-seriously proposed tlaafc such
company as the Richings-Bernardii-glieli
opera were '-eozeing for .a -sSort
seaonithe project Avas considered in
the light of a doubtful venture. We
had"lready been favored by the visit
of a small company and theygave us
much to admire, but thk (Company, with
is strength of about thirty artists, and
a full .chorus and grand orchestra have
cforie ris grandjy. Considering the
frffimtiaknftsa of their surrotmdings in
our oabiall we-may say that we have
never eeh b, -opera put npoa the
stage aaore -successfully than Thz Bo
hefmanGii I SJtohday night and 12 2Vo
vator'c tfasl njglit, which leads us to an
ticipate .great pleasure this evening,
when we are to have Flotow's brilEant
opera ol Martlia, and to-morrow eve
ning Auber's comic opera J?ra Diavolo.
The opera of Martha by this company
will present a feast of music. Refer
ring to tltfir visit here we realize that
they are giving us a aeries of operas in
grand style, and we may have to wait
many a diy?b6fore a troupe of equal
merit will appear in"this city. We may
have individual singers of equal merit,
and in soiinstances superior, to visit
us; but a full company will not risk
their chances very often- in this sec
tion. Oregon has e,vfevy odvantace enjojed in
civilized countries. Liberal laws. Good
