A Greco-Roman wrestling match, best has arrived from Hong Kong, China, with two in three falls, for $500 a side, between a cargo of sugar for the Moncton Sugar Tom Cannon, champion of England, and Refinery.

Cape Sable’ was made nine days ago, and since that time calm weather and thick fog were en- | countered. The sugar crop of the world is estimated at 4,000,000 tons. India and China supply about 1,000,000 tons, and in these coun- tries the cane is grown. Of the remaining, 4,000,000 tons the proportion of beet and | cane is about eqnal, the figures in 1882 giving 2,060,565 tons of cane sugar, and 1,860,994 tons of beet sugar. The cane is supposed to contain more saccharine mat- ter, but the manufacture of beet-root sugar is conducted with greater skill and effi- ciency. Itis now possible to obtain a pure white grainy sugar from beets without the aid of the refiner, while the refined product can scarcely be distinguished from the cane sugar. Of the six members of Parliament men- tioned as likely to be gazetted peers this week, the only important one is Dobson, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Of the others, Sir Thomas Colebrooke is 71 years of age and has an heir, but Sir Thomas McClure is 78 and child- less; Sir Alexander Matheson, of Ross and Cronmartin, is childless; Sir Arthur Hayter, of Bath, is childless; and Sir Thomee Brassey is childless. They are all | old men. The choice of such heirless and unimportant men is in itself a fitting com- ment on the Liberal opinion of the House of Lords and its political attitude toward it. Apropos of the report that a meeting of prominent Jamaicans living in London will be called to consider the propriety of agitating for the entrance of that island imto the Dominion, it is not uninteresting tc note the follow- ing facts: Jamaica lies about eighty miles southwest of Cuba and is the largest of ithe British West India Islands, It \has about 4,200 square miles and a population of over half a million, the ‘great majority of which is colored or \black. The imports are valued at about testant having gained one fall. On the third round the combatants wrestled for three hours when the referee decided the match a draw. Later reports indicate that the thunder storms which swept over the north of Eng- land and Scotland on the 12th inst. were of almost unexampled severity. Many build. ings in Edinburgh and other cities were partially demolished by lightning. Dun- dee was enveloped in dense darkness for an hour, and travel was for a time suspended. Several pereons were killed by lightning, among them the Earl of Landsdale, who was overtaken by the storm while out rid. ing. Mr. Justice Wills, recently appointed to the Queen’s Bench in England, is a well- known mountaineer, and possesses in Switzerland the reputation owned by few, even of the best climbers, of being able to ascend any mountain without the assistance of a guide, His books, Wandering among the High Alps and The Eagle’s Nest, are widely read and circulated. Mr. Wills is the owner of a charming house picturesque- ly situated above Sixt, a mountain resort in Savoy. Although the rabbit plague still vexes the Australian squa:ter, he is threatened by an- other plague even more deadly. This | time it isa once-cherished friend who has gone astray. Four hundred and fifty use- less dogs, said Samuel Davenport, at a recent deputation of the Royal Agricultur- al and Horticultural Society to the Com- missioner of Crown Lands, had been de- stroyed in the vicinity of Adelaide. All these culprits had killed sheep, seme of them being concerned in a whole- sale slaughter of one hunired and fifty wethers. Such is the ion of the Australian canine race t not terriers spaniels and Newfoundlands do the mischief, but sheep, cattle and watch dogs join the ranks of the destroyers, and bite and worry and destroy in their nocturnal attacks.
