1882 was, however, nearly six millions more
than that Of 1879, which was the worst sea-
son since the famine year.
Dust mixed with air is found, by many
sad experiences, to be. under certain condi-
tons, dangerous explosive. Thus. if
large log of wood were ignited, it might be q
week before it would be entirely consumed
split up into cord wood, and piled up loosely
it would, perhaps, burn in less than an hour !;
cut into shavings, and allow strong wind to
throw them into the open air-or in any way
keep the chips comparatively we'll separated
from each other-and the log would, perhaps,
be consumed in two or three minutes but
If ground up into fine dust or powder, and
thrown in such manner that each particle
Ia surrounded by air, it would burn in less
than q second.
The white cliffs on which Dover Castle
stands are the last object which the traveller
loses sight Of on his way to Calais, and the
first object which his eyes discover on his
return journey homeward. The buildings
themselves are standing Witnesses of every
change in English history, from the occupa-
ton by the Romans to the present reign.
Both cliff and castle, it might have been con-
fdently prophesied, would last as long as the
English nation itself. but the cliffs are now
being undermined by the action of the sea-
The waves have for many years been gradu'
ally washing away the coast line ON both
sides Of Shakespeare's Cliff, and they now
threaten to carry away the base of the Castle

According to the report of the United
States Consul at Rochelle, French brandy
within the last three years has ceased to be
brandy, being for the most part alcohol Of
grain, potatoes or beets. The proprietors Of
the vineyards themselves have become SO
clever in it's fabrication that it is almost i'm.
possible even for honest merchants to buy q
pure cognac when they wish to do so.
When-the bottle is invoiced or labeled 1849
or 1856. it only means that the article has
been made to resemble the brandy Of that
year. The alcohol which has taken the
place of the genuine spirit of the grape is
described as most pernicious liquor, pro-
ducing an intoxication which inclines the
patient TO rage and physical violence, while
the prolonged: use of it leads to insanity.

was nsarly SIX millions of pounds sterling
less than that Of the crops Of 1881, four
ffths Of the depreciation being caused by the

The Apple Crop.

Reports from the West and South say
that the apple crop is very nearly a com
plete failure. A commission merchant
who has travelled over the country saws
that he was in Ohio, both Northern and
Southwestern New York, and New Eng
land, and also in Kentucky and Indiana.
Throughout the sections l have named
the apple crop will be almost q total
failure. A farmer III Niagara county,
which is one Of the greatest apple-pro-
ducing regions in New York State, said
to me that he had a large orchard, and
half bushel measure would hold his
whole crop. The Baldwin variety which
is grown so largely III New York, and is
in such large demand for export, is al
most an entire failures What few apples
we get from Western New York this
year will be greenings. Some Of the
young orchards in the country which ]
visited will have fair supply of fruit,
but the old trees won't have anything to
speak Of.
The cause, he says, is generally attrib-
uted to the extreme wet weather al.d
heavy rains which prevailed just at tie
time OF blossoming. The trees blossomed
beautifully but the fruit did not set.
The Southern States all report very light
crops except North Carolina, where a
fair yield is assured. In Michigan, q
noted apple State, the crop will be very
light.

One Of the most iaborious things con.

timetable governing the runnine a
trains. Instead OF it being done With
pen and paper. as many may suppose,
the entire running arrangement of all
passenger and freight trains, their cru.s-
ing Of other tracks or passage a tsains,
their stops. and lost time are all oajcu-
lated by simple. common pins and spoola
Of different coiored threads. Before .

stations follow down tho perpendicular
line until the other terminal il reached
Then all is ready to prepare for tho run
ming arrangement, provided the pins and

A blue thread means . passeaeos

THE FL0WERDEW CASE.

The decision of the Court in the
Flowerdew. rramway case closes one
act in play which does not rebound
to the credit of Hawaii. An English
capitalist comes here seeking invest
ments, he sees that Honolulu needs
tramways and he learns that the
people need them; he places all his
plans and ideas before the highest
in authority in the land and is told
that there will be no opposition to
his schemes, he receives from the
Minister of the Interior authority to
proceed with The work, orders all his
material and engages the services OF
an engineer, when new Minister Oh
the Interior steps in and refuses to
recognize the acts of his predecessor.
The Court upholds his acts and Mr..
Flowerdew, who has been grossly
deceived, is subjected to loss of
from $4,000 to 100000. What
action he proposes to take for the
recovery of the money we do not
know but that he should have lost it,
acIlllS IN SOOu IalCn on the repfesen-
tations of Mr.. Gibson and Mr.. Bush,
two Ministers of the Crown, is a
disgrace to Hawaii.
If Mr.. Gulick's action was taken
on the belief that his predecessor in
office had exceeded his power then
Mr.. Gulick did right; if it was taken
at the instigation of Mr.. Gibson for
other reasons then Mr.. Gulick did
wrong, but in any case we think the
Governments is in honor bound to
refund to Mr.. Flowerdew the sum
of money that he has expended. In
justice to both parties it is most
desirable that all details in connec-
ton with this matter should be made
public and we hope that the Govern
meut or Mr.. Flowerdew will, in
justice to themselves publish full
statement of the transaction with
every document relating to it that
has been written. This country wants
capitalists such as Mr.. Flowerdew,
but is never likely to obtain them il
they are treated as he has been.
