Banana Disease. j Touching this matter, to which I referred , in my last, the results of closer examination seem to indicate that it is morfgprious than . was at first imagined. The manner in which it affects the plant 13 this : after , reaching a certain point the natural process . of development ceases, the leaves come . forth immature and wrinkled in appear- , ance; the calyx bursts prematurely; the flower is dwarfed and blighted ; the fruit turns black.and when it approaches maturity, tho trunk swells, and from it bursts forth a tuft of leaves, unnatural in growth and size. Every part of the plant is as brittle : as a dry twig, and its whole appearance is that of a blasted and barren deformity. Tho Suva Chamber of Commerce has taken the matter in hand, and it is forwarding healthy and diseased trees, with the re spective soils, for examination and roport by competent authority. New Sugar Mills. * Meanwhile, on the similia similibus prin ciple, sugar is making sugar. Even the big mill on tho Rewa, which is, as it stands, the largest mill in the world, is found to be unequal to the demand for crushing power, and it is to bo enlarged. It now consists of three'-0-ton mills, whicli will double crush • 00 tons of cane per hour, and the fourth, of equal size, is to go up under tho same roof. Tho place of the little Pioneer Mill on the Dreketi River is also supplied. As soon as it hopolesslybioke down,and before it was sold, the planter (Mr J. B. Simmons) on whose estate it had been erected purchased another, a 5-ton mill, which had been im ported for Tai Levu, but had not been erected. Ho had it removed, put together, and about a week ago he started, everything working splendidly. Ho has GO acres of cano ready to crush, and unlimited scope to increase its cultivation. Tho starting of this mill will be like unto tho letting out of water. It will cause cane growing in that district to increase, and crushing power will bo increased to meet it till all the fertile flats and river bottoms of tho Drekoti will be one vast cane-field. A good bit of this land is New Zealand owned, but was abandoned after tho cotton failure. Beclie-do-Mor. An effort is in progress to revive this in dustry. In tho old time tho fishery was oxtonsivoly carried on. Then it languished, but was revived at tho closo of tho cotton era. It had reached fair proportions, and was fast developing, when tho Government passed an ordinance declaring tho native right in tho reofs, and making it penal for n Europoan to fish without a license, whicli, on applica tion, was always refused. It turned out, however, that the natives would not lish tho reofs, and the Government, which oxpected to got the fish as tax produce, could not make them. So the industry has died out, notwithstanding that the Go vernment yielded so much as to sot the license fee at .CSO. Men on tho outlook for any way to earn an honest living are now moving for permission to resume the fishing, on fair workable terms, and it re mains to bo seen how they will succeed. Coffee. Considerable discussion has recently been provoked by the remark of an old Coylon planter in a lottor to the "Ceylon Observer," that coffee is a failure in Fiji. Old coffee planters hore—and not a few of thorn—om phatically say it is not, and that labour conditions, and labour conditions only, caused the abandonment of tho cultivation. Thoy declaro that tho crops wore good enough to pay, and would have been much hotter as oxporionco taught improvement in tho method of cultivating ; that leaf disoaso could have been resisted by tho strength of the growth ; but that the cost of labour was too heavy to make fin ordinary roturn pay, oven thoueh the beans sold at highost market rates. ".Nothing but silver boans would havo done it," said ono, and as labour rates grow easior, I have ovory hopo that attention wiH again be turned to this cultivation. Law and Police. H. Niccol, for tho burglary formerly re ported, has bcon sentenced to 15 months' hard labour. Thoro was no chanco for his osrapo. It would soom that his careor of crimo has boon long and systomatic. Had ho been acquittod on tho charge laid, ho would havo been immediately arrested on another. Tui, the adopted Fijian protego of Sir Arthur Gordon, who twice sot fire to the residence of tho Hon. G. Morgon at night, and burnt down tho .threo housos in tho Mission compound, was acquitted, despite his confoseion. Thoro is no question that the man was trapped into his confes sion, and who would not deem it a righteous deed to trap such a monster, a devil who would fire tho sloop big-planes of six little children ? But the Judgo held that an inducement to confess hadbeon offered, and rejected the confossion, Tho man was therefore acquitted, and as tho Rev. A. J, Webb very sonsibly refused to take him back, tho Attornoy-Genaral appropriately constituted himself his host and protector. Tui Sawau, a chief 'of high rank, who at the Kadavu Boso deliberately fired at a commoner who wished to defend his right to his pig, and only failed to shoot him because one of his attendants struck up tho gun, has, after tliroo months, been brought before tho Court and fined for a common assault. Odds and Suds. Wash. Norton and his Merrymakers have dono much playing hero and at Suva, and on two occasions when they were assisted by tho local amateurs thoy had bumper houses. On the other occasions tho playing was bettor than tho attendance, and that says something.

Planters are complaining that the rain fall has been too light. Big bush fires aro reported from Ba and Manual a, and still tho rain holds off. The Chamber of Commerce is to petition the Secretary of State for the Colonies yet again for tho abolition or modification of tho native taxation schome.

The donguo fevor, and tho outbreak of terebro spinal meniygitu, respecting which the roport of Dr. Alexander, published in your issue of tho 14th, appears so thoroughly to havo alarmed your Govern ment, have evidently disappeared, and tho normal health stato of tho country is thoroughly restored,

THE LONDON SOCIAL SCANDAL.

Charge of Abduction Against an Editor.

(Fuom Our London Correspondent.)

London, September 26. Though more than a week has passed since I last wrote, tho case of the girl Armstrong still continues tho one supremely interest ing topic of conversation at London clubs and dinner-tables. So much mystery still onshrouds certain portions of the affair that there is room for endless conjecture, and pcoplo aro never tired of gossiping about the possibilities of tho trial or specu lating as-to tho nature of tho defence, which Mr Stead's friends confidently declaro will confound his enemies and rodound eternally to the honour and glory ,of the " Pall Mall Gazotto."

' Ono rumour which finds considerable accoptanco is to the effect that in tho first instance Rebecca Jarrett told Stead the stcry of " Lily " pretty much as it appeared subsequently in tho "Pall Mall Gazette," and that he doubted its truth. To provo her veracity and convince him of the fact, tho woman thereupon guaranteed to pro duce a little girl whom Stoad himself might soe taken step by step over the samo ground as " Lily" trod, In due course she appeared with Eliza Armstrong. Well, now (Stead's friends say), he has found the original Lily, sho will toll her sad story in Court, and by verifying his statement in the " Pall Mall Gazette," provide him with such a powerful excuse for his action towards Eliza Armstrong that the jury will find a verdict of " not guilty" without leaving tho box ; all of which is, of course, in reality sheer nonsenso, for evon if an "original Lily " existed at all—which I doubt —and Stead could produce her as a witnoss, ho wouldn't be allowed to, inasmuch as her story would be purely extraneous matter, without any bearing whatever on the Arm strong abduction.

Tho examination at Bow-street of tho persons accused of obduetiDg Eliza Arm strong was continued on Saturday, 12th, when the cross-examinations of Mrs Arm strong apd her neighbour, Mrs Broughton, occupied all day. With Mr Chas. Russell, Q.C., and MrWaddy, Q.C., two of the most terrible cross-examiners at the English bar, devoting all their consummate wits and experience to breaking dow.i tho evidence of these two important witnesses, it spoke volumes for the strength of the prosecution that thoy should fail. Tho women's respective descriptions as to what occurred between them and Mrs Jarrett certainly differed, but not materially. They several times contradicted themselves and each other with regard to details, but as

there can be no doubt Mra Armstrong waa more or less tipsy on the day she let Eliza sro, it is scarcely strange her memory for the I events of the afternoon Bhould be a trifle 1 _Ky- Thla tipsiness was no doubt taken advantage, of by Mrs Jarrett, who availed herself partly of tho mothor's state and partly of her old acquaintance with Mrs Broughton, to get Eliza away without too many inconvenient conditions being made. Whether Mrs Broughton, who is unquestion ably a pretty "warm member," suspected the girl's destination, seems doubtful up to the present. She swears no thought of evil entered her head, and after all, her word is as good as the reformed Jarrett's.' Mrs Armstrong, at any rate, is now very generally acquitted of collusion. Rough, brutal, and drunken the Armstrongs are, yet respoctable people as such poor folk go, Their children have been kept fairly clean and decently taught. Sober Mrs Arm strong would never have let Eliza start to service without consulting her husband, but in tho " muzzy " state she was in that day the offer of new clothes, the apparent liberality of "Nance's friend," dazzled and overcamo her better judgment. On Monday, the 14th, the Court again sat, Mrs Broughton being recalled in order that Mr Stead might take a turn at worry ing this awkward witness. Mr Stead's questions were framed with the view of eliciting admissions detrimental to tho character of tho witness, and incompatible with tho innocence of the part played by her in tho transactions under review, Mrs Broughton, however, adhered steadily to her original story in all material points, and indignantly repudiated the suggestion that she had been governed by corrupt motives In introducing Eliza Armstrong to Rebecca Jarrett The next wit nesses were two girls named Farrer and Stevens respectively, who had also been brought to Jarrett's notice ac candidates for a situation, but who had been rejected by her on the ground that they wero " too big and too old." Their evidence was strongly corroborative of that previously adduced as to Jarrett having represented that she was married fo a commercial traveller, that she lived in a six-roomed cottage at Wimbeledon, and that the reason she required a servant girl was because, owing to a physical afflic tion, she could not herself kneel to do the floor-scrubbing of the house. Armstrong, a chimney sweeper, father of tho abducted girl, was afterwards called, and he answered tho questions put to him with remarkable frankness and directness. It appeared that his wife allowed Eliza to go to service without first consulting him, and that he was so outraged by this disregard of his authority that ho at onco knocked hur down. Smith, the cabman who conveyed Eliza Armstrong to certain improper houses on' tho night of her leaving home, was called to provo that the defen dants Stead and Jacques, as well as Jarrett, wero present in Melton-Btreet and Poland-Btreet. Inspector Borner gave a detailed account ot his efforts to trace the whereabouta of the child, and described tho various interviews he had had to that end with Mr Bramwell Booth, who on ono occasion spoke of having in his possession a certificate of the girl's purity. Mr Toland now called on the defendant to produce that certificate, but it was not forthcoming. After this the examination was adjourned till Saturday next (or rather tomorrow) tho 2Gth, when the case for the prosecution will be brought to a close.

THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

Local Industries and Imported Implements.

THE exhibits of Messrs Dunwoodle Brothers, of Onehunga, at the late Agricultural Show at tracted considerable attention, on account of being manufactured in Now Zealand. Thoy comprised a sidc-eutting ti tree cutter, back cutiing ditto, stump harrow sot of twin hay forks, liquid manure spreader, and grubber and drill plough, with potato raiser. AH these im i.loiLonlsliave been proved to bo of great use in getting new land under cultivation. Messrs Wallace and Hotham, of Otahuhu, were also large exhibitors of loeally-manufaeturod agricultural implements, including single ar.d double furrow ploughs o£ various patterns, scariliors, rollors, harrows, mowers, reapers and binders, disc harrows, and patent hoes. Articles mado by this firm have now stood the test of time, and are therefore well known to be flratclaes. Messrs Reid nnd Grey'a collection was not qu'te equal in number to those catalogued, probably the firm not oaring to expose their gooasloßUch uncertain weather. Thosoexiiblted uppearod to be in first-class condition, and wore carefully inspected by many of the farmers present at tha Show. Meßsrs Hi. Porter and Co. exhibited ono Johnson's reaper and binder, one Samuolson's low level reaper and binder, and three fire engines and hand grenades; the latier of course.boing tho greater novelty.receivod the most notice. Messrs T. &S. Morrin Co. did not exhibit as largely ihis year as on previous occasions. Their collection comprised one Hornsby's reaper and binder, one buckeye platform ditto, ono sixteen horsepower double cylindtr portable engine, one three furrow ploughs and one hayrake. Mr W. J. Boa'o excibited a number of sowing machines, and had two ladies in attendance to explain the work ot theso hand articles., A lino collection of boots and shoos wereexhlbitrd by tho proprietors of the Northern Boot Factory. Tfc ey woro finished offin a workmanlike manner, and tic remark was frequently pasted by many ot tho visitors thai it was unfortunate that similar boots could not be purohased in the shops. Tho goods were all nicely arranged in a (Tlasa case, standing on a pedestal, aud presented a lino appearance, Mr H. Cartwright also ex hibited the show case of boots, shoes, anfl leggings which obtained first prize at the Wei lington Exhibition. Some fine firebricks and other articles, manufactured from fireclay, were exhibited by tho New Zealand iron and Steel Company. All the requisites for building ovens, flues, &0., were represented in this lot. Messrs B. White & Co., of Ponsonby, had on view ahandsomo cabinet constructed of mot tled kauri, tho grain and workmanship of which was much admired. An exhibit that attracted »n amount of attention was that of Messrs Hibb-ri and Leggo's samples of their artificial building stone. Theso were formed in all the varir.ua shapes required for the erection of buildings, and arehesand columns were erect d to show tho mode of use of tho articles. Tho stones appaar light and suitable for the pur poses for which th«y aro derignod, but Messrs Hibberd and Legge will, no doubt,requlro much patience and perseverance belore they are thor oughly patronised by tho building community, They have, howovor, contruoted to erect a building in Ponsonby for Mr Devore, which, if successful, should do a great deal towards in'roducing tho article. There •was a largo collcciion of carriages ex hibited, Mesßrs Cousins and Atkin having the greatei' number, tho question of qua'ity as com pared with the workmanship of the exhibits from the smaller factories being.of course, a mat tor of opinion. Tho ono that attracted the most attention w»s tho glass lnndau which obtained tho llrst prizo at the Wellington Exhibition. It iB made at M ingiao, and only varnished in order that the grain of tho wood may be discerned. The under carriage is composed of polished iron, and tho po nt is one solid mass of that metal. This vehicle will bo re-polished and forwardod to the Indian and Colonial Exhibition, London. This Urn also exhibited one "Callesso," one double-eeat Cosmopolitan buggy, one doctor's hoodod phreton, one single-Beat buggy, ono tax cart, ono dray fifed with Jones's patent brake, one waggon, and tho fino omnibus with patent light, fittings, and oontrepetal brake, now running on tbo Mount Roskill line, and owned by Mr PattotsOn. This is hand somely painted and bs decked with beautiful transfers. Mr James Mackio hid also a large collection on view, which, strange to say, were omitted lrom the catalogue. One of his articles—a spider buggy—was espe cially worthy of note, being at once light and Btrong. His other exhibits wero a pagnall, farm waggon, dray, light horse cart, heavy ditto, milk dandy and can, and ono handcart. The workmanship in all these appeared first-class, oomparing very favourably with that of the larger firm. Mesßrs W. and E. Baston blsd ex hibited largely in this department, but were no-1 ticod in our fir.it report, Mossrsß.TonksandCo. I had on exhibition a large collection of imported canages, which naturally excited attention at d ' comparisons with local manufactures. The'r i oxhibits wero as follows :-An Antilleß turn out seat double buggy, detachable seat buggy. Courtland double-seated waggon, concord buggy waggouetto.Princo Albertladics'plOJt n. extension-top family buggy, Courtland piano box bupgp. four-wheeled dog cort, sinple-soatjd top eoi.cord buggy, single-Beatedconcord buggy. lii'st-class waggonette.
