" Philippines and their Riches "—is the 
heading of an article (in The Manila Times, 
February 28th), in which Capitalists are urged 
to "go East"!— and we read: — 
There are handreds of thousands of acres of the 
most fertile sugar lands in the world merely awaiting 
capitalists to talie advantage of them, while there 
are some railliona of natives, honest and experienced, 
who are only too anxious to cultivate them. 
Tea in Natal.— The article we quoted the 
other day from the Natal Mercury has eli- 
cited two further coaimunications, quoted 
elsewhere. The first writer's acquaintance 
with the general conditions of tea-growinf? 
in Natal was, it will be seen, greater than 
with up-to>date methods of plucking &c.
