becomes an iDsupportable deprivation,

Paris market is being supplied with Amerl-
can oysters, IN the she'll, from the CHESAPEAKE
bav. The importation Of oysters from NOR
folk commenced couple OF years ago, ana
il has been 30 successful that two new COM
panies have been formed to carry on 4 large
EXPORT trade in this article Of food. Art'h-
cial beds for their reception have been pre-
pared OIL the Normandy coast, and NUMBER
of vessels have been especially constructed
for the trade, combining speed ana large ton-
mage capacity. Large oyster parks 1or tilcir
nlantinw have also been constructed at lie
t,roi,ie. on the Atlantic ocean, for the storing
of these shipments on their arrival IN France.
Some of the earlier arrivals are already IN
the Paris market, and command prices lar
in advance of that obtained for the ffench
oyster, which has greatly deterlorated OF
late wears, and the beds are showing
unmistakabe signs Of exhaustion. Ine

some degree the normal condition OF the
oyster. and it has been found necessary that
t6ev should repose for some time in beds Oh
their sides. in order that they may fatten
and become eatable, whilst at the same tiine
they increase and multiply. 1t is stated IN

WHEAT.BAGs IN CAuFoRNIA.-The San
Francisco Chr0nicie says: Last year we
needed l.. 900 900 of whcat-bagS. This year
we will want at least 100000, and if the
breadth of land under NATURALIZATION
should continue to increase, rs it promises to
do. we will require not less than 30,000,OOO
yearly. The value of these, at a very low
figure. would be from $2,500,000 to $780,
600. We now pay 81 100000 per annum to
Scotland for wheat bags, which we could as
we'll make ourselves, and so give employ
mcnt to over 800 people. Our future needs
would give work TO IN average of 900 per-
sons to he employed in weaving the jute into
burlaps and converting the latter into bags.
That would he equivalent to an addition OF
5000 to our population. Dundee, in Scot
land, with population of over 100000, IS
almost entirely supported by this industry,
which has been the means OF doubling her
population in twenty years. We can OBTAIN
lutte, laid down here, duty paid, ut three cents
a pound-quitc lis cheap as they can nave
if in Scotland--and we can sell the manu-
featured goods even cheaper than the Scotch
do. We are already pioneering the industry.
Let us hope that our moneyed men VIII take
the matter up and relieve Us FROM The nece..
sitv of sending $4,000 miles for wheat-hags."

Gruticm,n.-WhcnI accepted. now more
than wear ago, the invitation which your
committee did me the honor to send me for
the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance,
could not conjecture the obstacles which
would check the execution OF my promise.
While suffering from the sacrifice wlIicl they
impose upon III" do not regret these obsta-
clcS. for they concern Il Few Development OF
reform TO which is attached, in my opinion,
the salvation of the Catholic Church. In
con,idinr to Inc task much beyond my in
divid,al powers. but which lie will aid me,
| trus., to perform, God has imposed upon
me duties which take precedence OF
all others. Will you excuse me. then,
gentlemen, if in heart alone | join YOU:
Bv its warm impulses my whole being goes
ont TO YOU. For Il long time already have
counted friends among your ranks. Indeed,
I can call you all by that name; for, united
bv faith in the same Christ. tue only Son OF
| God and the Redecmer Of men, you are Ia.
boring to bring together on common ground
the different Christian confessions, which
| have been SO sadly, and until now so IRE
mcdiably, separated. My ambition. | con,
fcss, is still higher. Where you are satisfied
| with an alliance l would desire an organic
and vital unity. / believe this unity to lie
| in the future dcstinics of the Christian
| Church, because | discover it is its print
tive traditions. and, above all, it is in the
