PACIFIC COAST NEWS. A Heavy Fish. Victoria, June 27. A salmon that vroijrhed 9S pounds ivhen caught lias been received here from the Skeena river fishery by Mr. Turner, mayor of A'ictoria. Its length is five feet eleven inches from nose to tall. Jt is said to be the largest salmon ever caught. FisIi IVct Foil ml. A fishery net has been picked up in Fuca Strait. Entangled in its meshes were two porpoises and twenty or thirty salmon, all dead. Jtis supposed to have been lost from a fishing boat off the Colum bia river bar. Pinafore Once 2?Iore. Editor Asterian: Beading your comments on the wreck of ''Pinafore" in San Fran cisco, and the comments of your "Washington correspondent con eering it in that quarter, I am tempted to offer a lew remarks, having witnessed the Operatta while in Boston last April. The opera is satirical its shafts aimed at many follies and absurdities. Of the latter the hits at the Grand Opera are delightful. For instance, Little Buttercup tells us that she '-mixed those children up." A strangely familiar catastrophe, that seems. Can it be that the witty satirist had in his mind the tragic Azucena in Trovatore, and the wav she charges? revenue, mixed up her hapless She intends, in direct to burn up the Count's child, but bv some mistake lie precipitates her own infant into the flames. What a mixing up was there! Still whoever thinks of the absurdity while he is thrill- W cd with the strains of Stride la vara pa. The quasi-tragic instru mentation accompaning the duet between Buttercup and the Cap tain is another instance ill point. The Captain's famous admission, "hardly ever," and his question, '"Why is everything either at sixes or at sevens?" make us friends with him at once. "One touch of nature makes the world kin" and there is much nature in both of these speeches. Who has not asked the Captain's question in one form or another? Hamlet ox claims bitterly, uThe time is out of joint," it is the same song in another key. Sir Joseph Porter is delightful. If the self-made man will gaze at the mirror held up to nature, by the Admiral, he Avill get a glimpse at a failng of his own namely, an overweening pride in his own creation. He glories in telling how, from the office boy, he rose to the top of the tree. One stanza deserves special mention. "1 grew so rich that I was sent By a pocket borough into Parliament, I always voted at my party's call And 1 never thought of "thinking for myself at all. I thought so li tie they rewarded me lly making me the liiiler of the Queen's Navce." Being sent into Parliament appears to be the sequence of the riches. The stanzi, however. lipp.fU no fnrriip.r cfimmont.-it. is worthy of a modern Juvemal. A large class of liberals, "who always manage to keep their own aristo cratic privileges intact, might take a lesson from Sir Joseph. "The British tar is anT man's equal excepting mine." He will not marry Josephine after her decline in rank. It is no use to remind him of his official statement that uLove levels all ranks." Pie re plies: "It does to a certain ex tent, only not so much as that." Some one remarks that Dick Deadeye is shown up as a villian, because he is the only one on hoard who has any common sense. 3 c" the poor fellow remarks that it's a queer world; it is shuddere c.d at as a revolutionary senti ment. His only villainous deed is lietraying the lovers. The duet with the Captain, in' which Dick announces that the lovers are about to "fly," is as fine a bit of satire of Grand Opera as the piece contains. Ralph and Josephine are going "immediate," yet there seems to be plenty of time for the refrain, "Sing, hey, the merry maiden and the jolly tar," and also to repeat the whole "business"'' of the scene, if we clap long enough. Ralph and his lady are not quite the peers of the piquant company in which Ave find them. Or is it that the lovers are so absurd per se, that their antics on this particular occasion are less noticeable? What an obliging crowd the chorus arel How in variably they sympathize with the last speaker? Similar-minded choruses are not known in serious opera. The grand finale, "0 joy, 0, rapture unforseen; for now the sky is all serene," follows the model of all light operas. It is imperative that all operas should come out all serene or that every thing should be direfully at sixes and at sevens There have been more cures of semi nal weakness, nervous debility and par alysis made by the wonderlul English Remedy, Sir Astley Cooper's Vital Res torative, than by all other remedies com bined.
