cordial greetings Of His Majesty and the
Royal Family, and in now conveying those
greetings he would beg the Assembly and
the Inhabitants of this island to receive

His Majesty the SalutatiOns Of the Inhabi-
tants here, for which His Majesty was
kindly pleased to express His thanks. The

mas made his stay here shorter than he
would have wished, so that, this time, he
will not be able to visit about ia the

again; and he begged to assure tho inha-
bitants here that he will still work for the
interests of this Island, the same as if he
were residing here. His Excellency was

We have but few useful public men,
therefore we should be mindful as to how
their services are employed. Mr.. Sarauw,
though in all respects a very deserving
man, to whom the Public owes a debt of
gratitude for his u~ntiring and long tried
services in and for the interests of the Is
land, is evidently far more useful to the
community as Chairman of the Colonial
Council, while his sphere of action will be
much more circumscribed when sitting in
the Council as Member. On the other
hand Mr.. Rosenstand's services appear to
have their greatest effect and utility to the
Community when rendered in the form of
those telling lectures from the horseshoe
table, and not from the Chairman's Plat
form. However, the Council itself must
be the best Judge.

;ssHe appearsito nave given the subject
the CLOSEST attention, and brought to our
notice several very interesting points in
the report of the Agricultural Depart
ment published last year. The cocoons
which he showed us, and which were
grown near Beaufort, were certainly very
beautiful, and were stated by him to be
as fine as any ever grown in the United
States. He carries them on with hand
some letters OF introduction. aud recon-
mendation to silk manufacturers ut the
North, and certainly, upon consideration
Of tue facts before US, we cannot but suy
that he must succeed in making arrange

''rho breeding Of the silk worm was,
in colonial, times, qnite an extensive
business in South Carolina. It's fnnI
abandonment, as far as we can learn,
was not on account of the want of profit,
but the great difficulty existing ut thut

nipulators to take care of the plant and
the feeding of the worm in it's earlier
stages. at the present time these are
comparatively easily found ut the North
and from the West. In England the
matter haa engaged the particular alton
tion of the government for the past two
years. Nurseries have been established
in various parts of the kingdom, and,
with tho encouragement of the govern
ment, arc making largo importations Of
eggs and cocoons from all pnrts of th.
world. Iu Mexico and in various parts
of the Northern States it is q business
carried on with great profit to the owners
of nurseries.
''The experiment Of raising the silk
worm ut Beaufort has boen made with
the most satisfactory results. Tho CO.
coons produced are, as we have stated
very beautiful to our unelucated eye,
and the fact that efforts are being nude
to establish nursery ut that place proves
that the parties making the experiment
arc willing to risk o considerable amount
of capital in it. Should the doctor sue

hope lie will, it must open in South ca

pie, and will probably do away, to cor

1t is the French absinthe. a French
commission has just made report to
the Pharmaceutical Society of France, in
which. after reviewing oil the methods

by its use in france and her colonies,
they uneqnivocaily condemn it as a
poison. aud recon mend that efforts be
made to prohibit its sale, unless on tl.e

that "the pleasant flavor of absintho"-

tastes, for to most Americans the flavor
would be anything but pleasaut-''in-

as much alcohol as they would be likely
to consume if their drinking was con

Of absinthe in France az u drink is sur.

most deplorabie effect on business. Pri-
vate adWoes from New Orleans arc to the
effect that the contest has brought every
department Of business and industry TO
a stand.still. a deep gloom pcrvadcs the

dities, usually so active at this season of
the year, have been practically suspend

ship their cotton and other products to

are suspended. The orders for goods

anything but cheerful one, and the end

ments for some other and furthe. ex.
'nloratiens. THE Berlin Geographical
Society intends to send out an expedi-
tton to Central Africa, on large scale,
and with defined scientific objects. It
is designed to penetrate the vast unex.
plered region. containing On area OF
some million English miles. African
travellers have approached it on oil sides.
but have not yet entered it, as, for in
stance. Livingstone on the South and
Southeast; Spoke, Burton. Grant and
Sohweinfurt in the Nile country, on the
North. east; Park, Richardson, Barth
and others on the North. From the
West coast there has been no great sue
cessful expedition for any distance in
land. The details of the new expedi.
ton are not yet settled, but it is thought
that the exploration of the Congo and
Lopez rivers will probably be main
object.
The great mystery Of Africa must yield
to the curious. pushing, enterprising
spirit OF the present age. It is not con-
tent to let anything remain in doubt or
uncertainty. When the country is tho
roughly penetrated, and it's long cher
ished secrets disclosed, aud its people
brought into some connection with other
races, and under the influence of more
enlightened principles and policy, its
old fatal curse Of the sluve trade may
Epass nway. Only ideas of the sacredness
Of family ties, and tho endearments Of
kindred, can, extirpate it, and these can
only come OF better development OF
material resources, and higher ad-
vsncement in civilization and religion.
