The Mikado.

The case of Richard D'Oyley Carte VS.. A. L. VII.
bur- came up before Judge Webb in the Circuit
Court yesterdayfor hearing upon motion
for an injunction to restrain the VIII
bur Opera Company from performing
the opera known as the "Mikado," with
an orchestral accompaniment. The complainant
introduced numerous afhdayits certifying that this
company had played this opera with instrumental
orchestra in Portland, st. John, N. b. and Ban
gor, and had advertised to do SO again at Bangor,
Friday night next
The defendant certified that he did not use the
orchestral score of Gilbert Sullivan, the authors.
but an orchestral score prepared by composer
In Cincinnati 1t was commended by his counsel
that this was not an infringement of the rights Of
the complainant.
The counsel for the complainant argued that
new orchestration was necessarily an imitation of
the original, and violation of the rights of the
complainant.
Judge Webb delivered an opinion sustaining
the notion and enjoined the defendant and his
servants and agents from using any instrument,
except the piano and organ, in the production of
the "Mikado" D. A. Dorr and N & II. Believes
appeared for complainant, and Msttocks, Coombs
& Neal for Wilbur.

any other foreign company, and has paid as ap

SQUIRRELS at chebeaeue.

Mr.. William Allen tells of pleasing instance of
the migratory habits of animals Two or three
ago pairs pair Of gray squarrels were intro
duced on Little Chebeague Island. They have
now multiplied to the number of thirty or more,
and the isl and being small and having but few
trees upon it, they have apparently found it too
straitened for their increasing colony, and like
the human race in similar circumstances, are
looking out for 'tfresh woods and pastures new"
Accordingly number of them take up their posi-
ton on the trees nearest the bar connecting the
island with Great Chebeague and watch for the
recedng of the tide When the bar is no longer
lowered with water they seize the opportunity and
ocuttIe across to the new and larger fields where
they may increase and multiply indefinitely.

Portland Fishing Business.

The Transcript for this week says the volume of
the fishing business the past year is somewhat I'M
der that of 1884 the decline, as will appear from
the figures given below, being most marked in
mackerel:
Eight fresh FISH firms handled the past season
9,o80.o00 pounds, against 100000 pounds IN
1884.
In dried fish a decline is noted The four firms
aggregate 3O,7Oo quintals, against Al, 200 quin-
tails in 1884 The falling off is attributed to the
fact that some of the dealers have bought instead
of making.
Eleven dealers in picked nsh show decline of
about SO per cent In amount from last year.

-Four firms handled z,soo, 900 pounds Of lobster
during the season of 1888, a decrease OF 100000,
due probably to close observance OF the law ap-
plying to short Holsters.
The finnan haddie business continues to devel
OBJ rapidly. The amount produced for the season
is about 1,250,O0o pounds, an increase OF some
250, 900 pounds.
The canning Of mackerel has been comparative

Rheumatism

According to the best authorities, originates in a
morbid condition of the blood. Tactic acid caused
by the decomposition of the gelatinous and al
luminous tissues circulates with the blood and at
tacks the brous tissues, particularly in the joints
disease. The back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism, and the joints at
the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are also some
times attacked. Thousands of people have found
in Hoods Sarsaparilla positive and permanent
cure for rheumatism. This medicine, by its puri-
tying and vitalizing action on the blood, corrects
the cause of the disease and it also gives strength
to every function of the body.
