The Realm of Stalacta.
‘* HERALD’s” COVERY.'
GREATEST WONDER OF THE WORLD.
THE NEW YORE LATEST. _DIS-
THE
In developing the rabbit hole on the hillside at Luray, Page County, Va., the enterprising explorers have struck a veritable underground world of wonders. Cavern after cavern, corri- dors, galleries, amphitheatres of immense ex- tent, extraordinary freaks of nature in the fantastic forms assumed by stalactite and stalagmite—all these have been discovered at Luray on a scale that probably has few equals in the world. Our correspondent has explored these wonders in order to give the readers of the Herald an accurate description of this vast system of magnificent caverns. It would be premature to venture an estimate of the extent of these natural wonders. The ex- plorers themselves are at a loss te describe them, and each day brings new discoveries of surpassing interest. ‘he curious formations that present themselves on every side are due to the infiltration of water impregnated with mineral matter, which, falling through count- less ages, have deposited the latter and built up the strange shapes that fill the beholder with wonder and awe. In this dark labora- tory of nature the untiring forces have been in stent operation since Jong before man be- came an inhabitant of the world. Lighted up by the torch, the crystallizations that encrust the deposits glitter like diamonds, and the exquisite tints of the rainbow are rivalled by the glorious reflections cast back by the my- riad prisms that stud the walls and roofs of this underground palace. To the geologist and lover ot the beautiful, the caves at Luray must prove attractive in no ordimary degree, and it is probable that the quiet. village in Virginia will soon become the resort of eurious visitors from every part of the country. Among the discoveries of the past few days are the footprints of animals in the floors of the caverns, Can these be traces of the my- thical gyasticutns ?
SUGAR.
‘The stock of sugar in the United States is said to be less than usual. Statisties show that the total consumption of raw sugar for the year ending December 31, 1877, was close upon fifteen hundred mil- lions of pounds. , On the Ist of January last the total stock of raw sugar im the country was, in tons, 50,548; the receipts from ail points from January 1 to October 1, 1878, 547,990; total, 597,230. Of this quantity there had been withdrawn for consumption, previous to October 1, 523,- 911 tons; with raw sugar exported, 2,080 ; leaving stock on hand, October 1, 71,647. During the month of September last the receipts were 42,141 tons, and the with- drawals for consumption, 76,124 tons. Should the present demand for raw sugar continue, it is apparent that at least 100,000 tons must be received to prevent the supply running short. There will be little difficulty, however, in replenishing the stock. An Havana despatch says : ‘* The coming sugar crop promises to be ex. cellent, the cane being finely seasoned through a succession of northern winds after abundant rains during the summer. It is estimated that the yield will reach 700 . 000 tons, taking into consideration the fact that much of the last crop of grain remain- ed uncut in the fields. Nocontracts for the new crop are reported, owing to the dull and stagnant market. Several plantations commence grinding this month.

The New Judicial Appointments in Ontario.
The St. John News says: ‘‘It has been admitted by his severest critics that Sir John A. McDonald’s judicial appointments have generally, if not always, done him credit. In his late Ontario appointments he seems to have maintained his reputation in this matter. Chief Justice Hagarty, who stands high as a jurist, is raised from the head of the Common Pleas to that. of the Queen’s Bench. Mr. Wilson, a Puisne Judge, succeeds Chief Justice yin the highest place on the Common Pieas Bench, while Mr. Matthew Crooks Cameron succeeds Judge Wilson in the vacant Puisne Judgeship. Judge Wilson’s merits will not be denied, and Mr. Cameron’s will be readily admitted. He was the leader of the Conservative Opposition in the Ontario Assembly. He was rather a failure asa politician, and notably so as a party leader. indeed, he was far too much devoted to the practice of his professiow to be of much ac- count as a parliamentary leader. But he is a man of high character, and of eminent ability and long experience as a lawyer. He will probably an excellent judge.”
