STRELS.
Wilson & Rankins Minstrels made dreary
effort to entertain large audience at the Grand
last night, the liberal attendance resulting large
~, doubtless from the much-vaunted 'entire
new programme vouchsafed in advance by the
management Instead of the promised new
features. the bill was made UP almost entirely of
very ancient acts and baser limitations. The
first part was positively painful in its waste of
dreariness, and the alleged jokes were so veneer
able that it would have been sacrlegious for any
conscientious and we'll meaning person to have
made merry over their temperance, and this
fact being recognized by the audience, there
were very few manifestations of levitv or tick
led risibilites among the fnourners in the
auditorium. Mr.. Rankin did a comic song very
we'll, and went into eclipse for the
remainder of the evening, the amount of gloom
he failed to throw over the house, being supplied
in large chunks by his eminent partner, MIR.
George Wilson, whose acv has not changed in one
tone or gesture since it was first tried on the
craftsmen who builded the pyramids. The only
redeeming feature of the olio was the musical
feats of the five persons who announce them
selves as the ''Pavenellas," and who perform on
all manner of odd instruments for producing
melody. young person connected with the
company gave an imitation of Frank McNish,
which was irredeemably bad, and the inevitable
afterpiece was in bad taste in inception, and was
presented in q manner verging on downright
idiocy and imbecility.

The Virtues Of Cocaine.

Although the plant has only recently
become known, its virtues have long
been recognized by the natives in that
part of the world in which it grows.
1t is stated that in 1888 the Indians
consumed 100000 "cestos" of coca,
worth $3.50 each in CuZco, and "a in
Potosi. In 1891 an excise of 8 per cent.
was imposed on coca, and in TAG and
1850 this duty yielded $500 and 81, 500
respectively from Caravaya alone. Be-
tween 17S6 and 1895, the coca traffic
was calculated at 81 ,207, 436 in the
Peruvian viceroyalty, and including
that of Buenos Ayres, 80, GAL AIS. The
coca trade is a government monopoly
in Bolivia. the state reserving the right
OF purchasing from the growers, and
reselling to the consumers. This right
is generally farmed out to the highest
bidder. The proximate annual produce
of coca in Peru is about fifteen million
pounds, the average yield being about
eight hundred pounds per acre. More
than ten million pounds are produced
annually in Bolivia; so that the annual
yield of coca throughout South Amer
lea, including Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador
and Paste, may be estimated at thirty
million pounds. 1t is scarcely pleas
ant news TO learn that the natives who
cultivate the coca plant themselves
absorb so much of The products of their
own production. We have here, doubt
less, the cultivation of the costliness of
cocaine and the scarcity of the drug.
This can hardly be otherwise, it is to
be feared, for some time to come when
we remember that the reliance upon
the extraordinary virtues of the coca
leaf among the Peruvian Indians is so
strong that in the Huanuco province
they believe that if dying man can
taste leaf placed on his tongue it is q
sure sign of his future happiness
