Sir William Lockhart, the General commanding the Punjaub district, has bfien re-called from London. He will assume general control of 40,000 troops stationed on the frontier. The ex pedition against the Mohmaods will occupy a fortnight, after which the troops will advance against the Afridis and Orakzais at Tirah Pass. The Afridis are now sending con tingents to assist the Orakzais against the British at Sana acj a ridge.

Sucb an expression is altogether too comprehensive for what is now taking place. The crux of the situation is with the Ameer. If be is playing fast and loose then there will be big trouble, but if he is friendly there will not. Hitherto the task of holding the forts has been practically left to th© allies and leviea subsidised by England, but in future the latter will ha\e to occupy some of these frontier poßts herself and ! make her influence felt inland.

The unimpeachable evi dence of statistics of trade tells ua that the people readily appreciate a good and pure article in preference to a dear and inferior one This has never been so clearly demon strated as in the records of the Customhouse. In 1885 Ceylon Tea made its first appear ance in New Zealand. That year the total quantity imported from all sources was 4 442,8671b, of which China supplied 2,487,6611b, or 60iper cent. India supplied 150.6441b, or 3*per cent. Ceylon supplied 40311>, or 001 per CeThat INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE SHIPMENT to this colony was ao appreciated that people asked for more and got it. S years later (1890) the imports stood China Vupp'lied 976,2401b, or 25* per cent. India supplied 657,9021b, or 17 percent. Ceylon "applied 363,1371b, or O3 per cent. „ The total imports for that year from all sources were 3,849,1051b. It was this year that Suratura Tea was introduced, and became a boon and a blessing to humanity. How it has established itself in the homes of the people may be seen by the manner in which it haa distanced all rivals, and materially assisted to drive I China teas out of consumption. In ltfyo— China supplied 58,9411b, or H per cent. India supplied 902,646'b, or 20*per ■ cent. Ceylon supplied »,310 9 41511>, or 55A per cent. No other article of domestic consumption can show anything approaching this. Suratura Tea is picked and packed in Ceylon, thereby preserving its freshness and aroma until it reaches the consumer—which accounts for its economy and punty. Surafcura Tea is NOT blende A with India or China Teas. JOHN ORR & CO., agents.
