Our Provincial NeiEhbors.

Why is it that our snper>loyal provin-
cial neighbors take every opportunity to
ignore The sincere friendship entertained
for them by their American cousins"
and rejoice if an opportunity present itself
to point out some defect in the machinery
of the Governmen. Of the s' Great Ameri>
can Republic" and thereby evince their
contempt Of the Yankees in general?
Do they imagine chat such conduct is
essential to commend them to the favor
able consideration Of the Home Govern
mrns, and as incontestible proof of their
devoted loyalty to the British crown 7 Or
do they deem It necessary to resort to this
unneighbOrly and unfriendly procedure
10 the malcontents in their own midst,
commonly known as annexationists.
Surely it is not the province Of statesmen
to conntenanee such conduct, neverthe>
less We notice repeated instances of the
Hbofe unwarrantabls conduct. and not
one VOID ofrsproot from public men or
the Pfess.
Amongst those Of recen: date, we

whilst said presence was noted recogn-

Royal family, the Provincial authorities
&c. &C., the presence of the representa>
tives of a friendly power was studiously
ignored. This is indeed small affair,
Sut it indicates the animus Of the parties
who perpetrass the discOurtesy, and we
can assure our neighbors that it is no: ex-

Government and her dependencies, partic-

The Americans rejoice at the unifca-

ests, Brought about by the confederation
of the "Dominion of Canada" They
have no reason to feel envious or jealous,
as they have enough of their own, and
are fully cognizant Of their own power and
prosperity: It is therefore inexplicable

An Old Aoqaaintanoe gone at Last.


Most old G Calfornians will remember the
U. S, ship Farallons, which for years was
stationed in San Francisco harbor or at
Mare Island. She was originally called
the Massachusetts,, and was built in East
Boston in 1910, thirty-one years ago. She
came the Horu around" with miscel-
laneous cargo and large number OF pas
ssngers in " the days Of 40" peying for
herself in single trip, and was solo tor
a song to the Government, reftted and
recSristened the Farallons, She was then
stationed for time at Puget Sound as a
revenue cutter, and subsequently, for many
years was med as a store and reeniting
ship at Mare fNland and in San Francisco.
Two or three yealS since she was sold by
the Government at auction, aud passed
into the hands Ct Moon & Co., of this
citv. who repaired and rested her again,
and re>christened her the AlASka. Though
then nearly 80 years old, A>v timbers
were sound, and she was stauNeb and
seaworthy vessel, having been buile4 on
honor ere shoddy aud balloon frameS'
came into fashion. Under the command
Of the veteran Captain Higgins, she made
two quick trips to Liverpool and one TO
New York, then returned TO the Chinchas
Islands this season, and took heavy car.
no Of guano for Germany. Batthe days OF
the good old chip were drawing to close.
soon after sailing from the Chinchas, she
encountered a heavy storm, and was so
severely strained, that Captain Higgins
was reluctantly compelled to square away
for Oallao, when she was surveyed, con-
demned, and sold TO be broken up. So
ends her long and eventful career: Capt
Higgins arrived here a few days since by
the Montana, aud from him we gain the
above facts.

The CAUSE OF CHoLEEA.-Raspail's theory
that Asiatic cholera Is caused and diRused by
animalenis, is again receiving attention,
and correspondent Of the New York Herald
assert that in 1Si9 and 1850, during the
ravages OF the cholera in the West Indies, he
found, on examining miscroscopicalIy the water
Of the localities where the disease existed that IL
was impregnated with animulculse foreign to the
place, which disappeared simultaneously with
the disease. These animaleuise would die when
placed IN contact with camphor, which seemed
TO be to them deadly poison. Ii he is correct,
the best preventive of the disease would be to
boil all water for drinking purposes, AMI keep il
tightly covered after boiling. The judicious use
OF few drops of spirits Of camphor daily would
alo be advisable. But we expect to see this
theory c0mbstted as it has been heretofore.
