The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1887. LOCAL AND GENERAL.

At Ncwcastle-on-TyDG a Chinaman of mandarin rank is resident who is wedded to a young English lady of high culture. He speaks a little English, and is learning more, and the lady is picking up Chinese. An Oamaru contemporary has seen the account sales of 180 saoks of potatoes sent as a trial shipment to Melbourne. The lot was Bent more as a means of ascertaining how Oamaru potatoes would take m the Melbourne market than of making a profit out of them, This was ascertained, but at a loss to the shipper. One hundred and twenty bags realised £3 ss, and 60 bags £3 per ton. The charges, after being put into the steamer here, totalled £30 7s 2d, and the net prooeeds were £20 16s. After the charges at this end were paid, the shipper had as a result £1 2s 6d per ton. It is reported iv Berlin that the Duke of Edinburgh, while paying his last vißit[|to Germany, entered into a formal agreement to ronounca hia own right of Bucoegsion to the throne of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha m favour of his eldest son. The "Pullman veatibuled train," whioh will run between Ohioago and New York, is gorgeous and beyond question the finest m the world. The " vestibuling " consists m joining the sides and roofs of tho cars at the platforms m suoh a way as to enable the passengers to walk from one end of the train to the other without being exposed to the weather or being m danger of falling off. During the last 50 years, £100,000,000 has been spent m England on hospitals, and various sanitary arrangements, the effeot of which has been to increase the average of life by three years. During the same period tho average allowance of meat per head of population has risen from 661ba to 1061bs, and of wheat from 2551bs to 3561b3, while the annual allowance of sugar has jumped up from 181bs to 701ob. Messrs Nelson, Moate, and Co. pay one seventh of the whole duty upon tea m New Zealand. A German legend says :— •• First the Lord mado man, then he made woman, and he fe.'t sorry for the man and made tobacco." The "New Zealand Timeß" eaya:— -Tttl Hon P. A, Buckley, Colonial Secretary, is, we regret to say, confined to his bed with an attack of Boiatica, He was somewhat easier laafc night than he has been, and bis medical adviser, Dr Cahill, thinks that he will probably be about again m a few days. Numbers of Chinese coolies emigrate to Cuba and Peru, where they are ill-treated. Cuba imported 116,000 m the years 1866 73, and refused to let them return to China on tho expiration of their contracts ; 67,000 died. The number imported into Peru m the year 1871 was 38,650, of whom many were put to death. In 1880 iv one provinoe 2000 were massacred. There is a ohurch at Bergen, Norway, made of paper, which oan contain nearly one thousand persons. Its interior is of oiroular form, while its exterior is ootagon shape. The relievos without and the decorative statues within, as well na tho vaulted roof, nave and Corinthian capitals, are made of papier viaohc, whioh has been made waterproof by soaking m a solution of quioklime, ourdled milk, and the white of eggs. On an island m Terra del Fuego there is a fair division of labor between tho men and the women, but one curious custom exists. The men make and fit up the canoes, but the women are tho rowers. The result is that the women are good swimmers, but the men cannot swim at all. The reason Is, that often on the coast there is not a Bingle tree to whioh to fasten the canoes. The women, therefore, after landing their husbands, have to row the oanoes to a spot where the sea- weed has been massed together, m order to moor the oanoes thereon ; after which operation they are compelled to swim back. So, also, when the canoe is Wanted, the women have (o swim out for it and row baok for their husbands.

The second of the series of social gatherings under the auspioes of the Ashburton Guards will be held ia the Oddfellows' Hall this evening. A very attractive programme has been prepared.

A rather curious case oarae before the R.M. Oourt this morning. A few days ago a very old woman waß taken to the Aehburton Hospital for treatment for dislocation of the shoulder. It was considered necessary to place her under chloroform, but she refused to be placed under the operation of the drug. Furthermore she beoame very violent and refused to leave the Hospital, so that it beoame necessary to send for the police to remove her. She was charged at the R.M. Court this morning, but, as the Hospital authorities were reluctant to prose cute, the polioo obtained leave to withdraw the case.

Hattie was not at all 9 familiar with 11 darkies ; " indeed, her whole acquaintance with the raoe was limited to one stalwart ebony friend, whose face fairly shone with blackness. She never could understand about it. Her loyal friendship and deep pity were at variance, and her small soul was often stirred within her. " Mamma," she said one day, " did God make Mr Jaokson ? " " Why, yes, dear, of course, He did," her mother answered, surprised. There was a long silence, which the little lady devoted to much deep thought, then, with a troubled sigh, "Mamma, do you suppose God thought he was pretty ? "

A sensation was created at Glendonville, Pa., U.S.A., by the elopement on May 20th of a white girl named Ida Wisner with a negroi Miss Wisner is 20 years of age, described as beautiful and accomplished, and her father is the wealthiest oitizen ia the place ; the negro, Thompson, was employed by him as a ooach man. In a note left for her parents, Miss Wiener said she realised the full measure of her blind infatuation.

Speaking lately m the Hawke's Bay district, Mr Sutton perpetrated a regular "ball." Speaking of taxation, he said, " You cannot colleot taxeß from a naked man. You must take it from something he has m his pooket." The audience began to simmer at once, and m ten seoonda were m a violent ebullition of

laughter, while the perpetrator swung round on his heel and retreated to the baok of the stage to mentally box his own ears. Return ing to the front he fairly bogged the bull and caused more laughter by explaining, " You must take it from something he has m his possession — if he has anything."

BOY HOUSEBREAKERS IN CHRISTCHURCH.

(Friday's "Pres*")

At a Court held m the old Provincial Council -Chamber yesterday morning three boyu, aged from fifteen to sixteen years, named John Albert Searle, Jo&n Ross, and Leonard Sellara, were charged with a series of offencea comprising i even charges of hoaaebrcakingand one of attempted arson. Mr McOonnel Appeared for Sellara, Mr Stringer for Ross. Searle was undefended. Inspector Pander con duoted the prooeoatlon. - * The prisoners were first oharged with breaking into and stealing certain article! from the Bhop of F. Gabltes, also with wilfully aefc'tlng fire to the premises, bpth oflfenoes on the night of June 15th. The prisoners admitted the hotisebreaklDg. &a, but denied the fire raining. According to the evidence adduced for the prosecution it appeared that the boyg wore arreßted at Holmes Bay for a totally different off jnoe by Constable McOorraack, They were at the time wearing some of the clothes which had been missed from the Bhop of Mr Gabites, Victoria street, after the fire, whloh occurred on the 15th of last month, and the origin of which was ohrouded In mystery. The artioleii whloh had been damaged and which were losb Mr Gabiteß valued, at £160. When the • lads were searched Searle .had a swag T in which were found a pair of trousers that an^ employee of Mr Gabltoa ideqtlfied aud a vest. Searle was wearing,' a hat whloh he said belonged to Gabitef. At Mrß Moss' house, Searle's sister," were recovered three silk squares, blaok and blue scarfs, a bottle of scent, and two-bits of tweed matching the trousers. At Ross' place were found a ooat, trouiera and vest and tie and a silk square ; at ■ Sellara' two scarfs, five silk squares^ a bottle of scent ; three bottles of toentc m the stable, and a silk square was on'ao oused when he was arrested.. The lads had taken them home, and Sfearle gaye no account of how he became possessed of | them ; Sellara explained that his be got | at Gabltes 1 fire having picked them up as he saw other people doing* Rosa stated that his suit he bad bought. Every artlole recovered was identified as similar to thoaa on sale by .Mr Gabitea, and many of them bore his private mat k. ; o'onoerning the fire the evidence given went tar, show that a few minutes before the bell rang voices were hevd m Mr Gabitea' Bhop, and one remarked " Its alight.". More than one person wan heard running down the right-of-way, but no one was seen. Searle wheD at tho police statiou made a clean breast of the; affair by giving a voluntary statement which was read m Court. In that statement he confessed to. enteriug Mr Gabitea' shop, and taking the articles enumerated. • Ross and Sellara were with him at the time, and he startsd the fire by throwing a lighted mat oh which Ross gave him among some blankets and curtains; They^. then " planted " the goods and returned to the scene after the fire bell rang. Accused, who were cautioned, reserved their, defence, and were committed for trial.

The accused were then charged with having broken Into and stolen from the shop of H. Lake, High itreet, on the 18th June, and Ohas. Lunnon was bharged with receiving property stolen from the shop of Mr Lake. . -";'.'•>

CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange re« port for the week ending Friday, the 15th July : —

A fair amount of business has been transacted during the past week, and last week's values have been well maintained. We note from our Sydney adrices that the import duty m that market on hops and malt has been abolished, and that thoße on honey and oatmeal are to be re moved from the lat October. W& do not anticipate that the remissions will advance our values here for barley or oats, the season being too far advanced. Wheat.— The demand for prime milling has been fairly active, and values are weU sustained. Tuscan and Pearl may bo quoted at 3s 7d to 3a 7£d ; and Hunter's at 3s 6d to 3s 7d ; second quality finds the best enquiry as fowl feed, at 3s 3d to 3s 4d ; broken wheat is selling at 2s lOd to 3s, according to quality. Oats. — An average trade is beintj done, tbe local buyers being still m the market for limited quantities. Milling are scarce at Is lid to 2s ; short heavy feed are at Is lOd ; and sparrow bills and inferior short Canadians at Is 8d to 1b 9d ; long and inferior are selling m small lines at Is 6d to Is 7d.

x Barlby.— Prime milling la aoarc* and is worth 4s to 4s 3d ; medium quality, 3s 9d ; and second quality is rather more difficult to quit at 3s 3d to 3s 4d ; feed ia dull at 2a to 2s 3d. -

Beans are scarce and firm at 3a 2d to 3s 3d.

Peas are going off slow at 3s to 3s 3d for Blues ; at 2a 9d to 2s lOd for feedine lines. °

Gbabs Seed. — Machine-dressed ia moving m small lots at 3s 6d. Farmers' parcels are quiet, and vary m values from 2s to 23 9d. Cocksfoot has been brisk, and the market has been pretty well cleared at prices up to 4W for ffood samples. b

Potatoes are still without enquiry. Small lines are moving off at 25s at country stations. Kidneys are m gtrone demand. a

I>AiaY Produce.— Butter has a fair en quiry at 7d to 7£d for prime, but newly, made cheese ia dull, and has very little enquiry at 3£d to sd. The above prices are those paid to far* mers and delivered f.o.b, Lyttelton, sacka extra.
