(Hear, bear.).
Mr. L. Grayson asked the company to drink success to the undertaking. The matter was of great importance to South Australia. The undertaking involved an immenso amount of energy, perseverance, and ability, and Mir, Parsons' political training and his residence in the Territory had been such as would fit him for the task, The Premler had referred to the other colonien having sent out ambassadors, and he was glad the Government had invested Mr. Parsons, with such powers as would enable him to collect business much better than any Doa elae. Mr. Parsons went in a time of pesce and the merchants would be able to give more time to consider the question of trade of South Australla. He hoped Mr. Parsons would be suc- cessful in opening up trade. The last Customs returns of Australia showed that our exports had exceeded our imports. This was nearly all
perishable goods, and he hoped that the result of Mr. Parsons' work would be of Immense benefit to the producers. (Hear, hear.)

'JUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY.
At the invitation of Mr. Farmer, under whose auspices the Ching Ling-fos troupe of magicians and acrobats is to open in the Theatre Royal on Saturday night, a small party of friends last evening witecited a number of the feats of this company and were well entertained. For neatness and complete mystification t would be hard for any performer to beat Ching Ling-foc himself, while the plate spinning and balancing feats of his assistants ware splendid examples of the perfection that can be obtained by patience and practice.
To begin with, it must be premired that the perfomance was given in the middle of a shop in Queen's Road, on the floor, and within ten feet bi The spectators, with bright lights all shout The performers had a dressing room, surrounded by the shop-jokis, etc., some distance away from the place of performance.
The first fest was by Ching-Ling-foo, who came forward dressed in a long cost, with aleeres rolled up. He was handed a rug, which he showed contained nothing. In a fish, and before those watching could see where it came fram, he produced first a lantern with a lighted candle, then a lantern containing a bowl of water with fish and a floating light, and then four large dishes of cooked food, these being exused to. appear and disappear in a most mysterious way. Finally two 10-inch bowls, full of water, were produced, and after vanishing several times, were carried away by attendants. Then two lanterns, four plates of food, and two large bowls fall of water were disgorged from a plais rag. Mystery number z. Some exceedingly neat plate spinning by two small children followed, and then balancing feats with glazed law, cleverly and neatly done, the skill necessary being evident to those sitting so close. At the conclusion of this Ching Ling Foo, who had been standing by "clowning the balancing, picked up a rug from the table near by passed It round, patted himself to show there was nothing concealed (so far as could be worn) and then, most unexpectedly, he disclosed a large iron basin, two feet in diameter, filled

Why," says the Englishman, " this scoundrel has stolen my clothes and my gun," etc. The native then explains to the officer that, according to his orders, he went with a strong party to the village where the English master had his camp; the natives had all cleared. He saw a man belonging to the English master's caravan, who ran when he saw him, but he shouted that he was sent by a wblte man and had a letter. So the man stopped and said that the master had gone ent shooting. He then entered the camp and saw plenty of guns. After getting some food and water he went where be was told the master had gone qut shooting. Knowing that the master had six men with him and was a very dangerous man with his gun, and an ha had himself bat fowly men, he went carefully.
