There were two deserters from the

The Lehua brought 1858 bags Of
sugar from Hawaii this morning She

The steamer Mikahala arrived from

bags of sugar. When coming along

Several cutters from the Philadel-

this morning. The Marion's crack
crew has challenged all corners, and it
is not unlikely that the Philadelphia
men will take the matter up.
The American ship William n. Macy
arrived i'm ballast from San Francisco
this morning, on her first visit to this
port. She is an old-style three-masted
wooden ship, about the same size as
the Luzon, recently in port, big car
rer and fast sailer. Capt. Jamsburg,
her skipper, is a jolly old salt. The
Macy made the run down from the
Golden Gate in thirteen days, estab-
fishing record for New York ships
between this port and San Francisco.
The Macy was neatly locked at the
old Fishmarket wharf, where she will
discharge her jallast.
The American schooner Transit ar
rived this morning from San Fran
cisco with 200 tons of general cargo
for Davies g. Co. She came down in
exactly the same time she went up
thirteen and half days. Capt. Jor-
genson is anxious to ge, his cargo out
TO-DAY so that he can start loading
sugar at once. If he cannot get as
much cargo coming down as the other
vessels of the sugar fleet, he thinks
that he can make more round trips, if
the Transit does as well in the future
as she has during the past few trips.
The ship Wunam n. Macy and
schooner Transit had a rather unusual
experience coming down. They left
San Francisco on the same day, but
did not see each other until the lat
ter part of the voyage, when the Macy
! appearing far astern of the schooner
rapidly overhauled her, until she was
abeam. There, for some reason, she
hung for two or three days, when the
Transit spurted ahead and led again
She could not hold the pace, however
and the Macy was soon abeam once
more. The two vessels remained in
company for several days, reaching
port only few hours apart.
The schooner William Bowden will
finish discharging her cargo of coal by
noon tomorrow.

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue.
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and it, products. The
great value OF the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval Of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling "A laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they ar,
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and, is most
largely used and gives most general
