Mr.. Forbes is the seventh minister OF the Uni.
ted States who has paid the debt of nature on the
continent of South America, since the opening
our diplomatic intercourse with that region. The
cond was Col Provost. who died in Peru in 1926
The first was Mr.. Rodney, who died at Buenos
Ayres in 1924. The third was Mr.. Anderson,
who died in 1926 on his way from Colombia to
Panama. The fourth was Mr.. Cooley, who died
in Peru in 1928. The fifth was Mr.. West. who
died at Rio de Janerio on his way to Peru in 1880.
The sixth was Mr.. Tudor, who died in Brazil in
1880. To this list ought to be added Mr.. Ora
ham, our minister to Brazil, who left that country
in bad health in 1920. and died Immediately after
his return. And yet all these countries are heal
thy, the yellow fever being wholly unknown,
south Of the Equator. 1t may not be amlss to
ask, what are the reasons that so many Of our
functionaries in So nth America have thus dropped
away one by ones May we not infer from the
fact, that their arduous duties and the dscordant
and uncongeniaI clements among which they have
been thrown have worn them out in On il-requited
service, and tina: they have at last fallen victims
to continual and most harrassing cares! We
think our representative connection with any
other country has never been marked BY such
disastrous and melancholy results.

.4udubon-This distinguished Ornithologls
is a native Of America, and of French descent
after prosecuting his research with interchangeable
zeal, and vainly endeavouring to publish his
work IN this country, he finally departed to-
England. His reception there was encouraging
beyond his most ardent anticipation, and ne was
soon enabled to publish his work in style tai
exceeding any thing Of the kind before known
and under patronage almost unexampeo. Inc
last number of Blackwood's Magazine contains
very enthusiastic notice Of Audubon and hi
"Ornthological Biography" she calls himself,
says the reviewer, Sin the pride Of genius ant
patriotism, an American Woodsman. And wher
some five years ago we first set eyes on him IN
party of literati, in stately Ednboro' throned OF
crags,' he was such an American Woodsman a
took the shine out ofus modern Athenians. Add
ubon left Edinburgh in May last Tor Paris, wnenc'
he was to embark in the course of the Presen
month for New Orleans. 1t is his purpose tt
spend eighteen months or two years in exploring
the western side of the Mississippi, up towards
the Rocky Mountains. Should he survive, he in
leads returning to Scotland and spending the re
mainder of his days in arranging his collection
and publishing continuation Of MS Ornthologi
