" , wt nics is a' GREATEST BEER DRINKERS. According Zo Statistics Recently Issued. The Sirassburger Post of Berlin, (Germany, has recently devoted space to a comparative: statistical study of thirst, as shown by the amount of liquor consumed hy the inhabitants of various European States.

The Russian takes 6 litres each «| of beer and vodka, whereas his al ly, the Frenchman, needs 82 litr.s of beer, 10 of brandy, and 108 ¢f wine. John Bull imbibes 6 litres of whiskey or gin, 2 of claret, and 132 of beer or stout. . The Dutchman rests content with 38 litres of Leer and 8 1:2 of brandy. His neighbor, the Belgian, is more capacious, be- ing satisfied only with 221 ligros of heer and 9 of alcohol.' The Avs: trian and the Hungarian each ab. sorb 11 1-2 litres of schnaps and 16 i {of wine, the former needing in ad- dition £0 litres of beer, while 11 will su for the latter.

It was with that hanger that Midshipman Rowe killed two Maor- 4s and wounded the chief before be- ing overpowered and killed, This discovery places beyond a shadew of a doubt the exact locality of the massacre, which took place on the spot now occupied as Mr. Green: sill's garden in Grass Cove. Mr McNab discountenances the idea that the weapon may have been cars ried there from the fact that the locality. exactly = corresponds with the description given by Capt. Cook.--London Standard.
