INDIAN CORN GROWING IN ESSEX. When, many years ago, the late Mr. Glad- stone, at one of his Hawarden gatherings, ad- vised his tenants to take up fruit growing and preserving, so-called practical men laughed at him. But what an immense amount of capital has been laid out in this direction, and also in the production of vegetables during the last few years)
In the year 1878, when agricultural depres sion is generally considered to have com- menced, there was in Great Britain 165,415 acres devoted to orchards, bur last year the cultivation of fruit trees occupied no fewer than 178,603 acres, or an increase of over 38 per cent. In the case of market-gardens, the area occupied in 1878 was only 37,273 acres in Great Britain, but this class of farming had

Government made this return, or an increase of 159 per cent. From various indications we should say the development in the market gardening industry has been growing quite as fast as formerly during the past five years 1
Notwithstanding the development of this branch of agriculture, we import large quan- tities of fruit and vegetables that might, with advantage, be grown in this country; and last year and this we have had from the thrifty German farmer in the Rhine Valley and the patient peasant in France the succulent carrot the green crisp kale, the fragrant onion, the penetrating leek, and the wholesome haricot bean in a prepared and dried state, so that when used these vegetables have been hardly dis- tinguishable from those freshly gathered From the United States, to meet the wants of Can-
adian and American visitors, green Indian cobs have been forwarded to the London market this esculent being preserved in crossing the Atlantic by means of cold storage. But this class of competition is not to go on unchecked, and many astute market-gardeners and others are developing enterprises to secure the British market for themselves.
Criminals of
many most dangerous men. every class, from. the petty thief to the high- wayman, have been pressed into the service. Part of the price paid them is a promise of immunity from punishment. The result of this promise can be seen by the list of robberies com mitted in the last three weeks; but these figure, startling as they are, do not give the slightest idea of the wave of crime which has swept over the city. Not one out of five cases reported is placed on the 'police records, Shopkeepers, especially on the east side, are in a state bordering on fpanic, while citizens out at night walk in secluded streets literally at the risk of their lives. A few days ago a man was robbed and killed in Frankfort-street, ten.yards from Park-row, where the newspaper offices are situated and which is all nighi brilliantly lighted and crowded with pedestrains. The more pras perous shopkeepers are all employing private watchmen, so great is the distrust of the police. CAPTURE OF A “BUDMASH " ELEPHANT.
