tree, and when we drew nearer we
saw bees issuing from a hole in the
trunk. The former methods for Sc
curing the honey were put in opera

limb while the operation was going
on. After securing the honey a por-
ton was set aside for the bird, as
my companion declared that unless
he did SO the bird would refuse to
guide him any more.
: I'VE found several other trees and
marked them and reached the house
in the evening. After supper my
host entertained me with an account
OF the amount of honey which the
herder had gathered, stating that in
one week the previous summer he
had secured nearly 1000 pounds.
"Since leaving that place have
visited a number of large apiaries
in various countries and seen any

but l have never met any one who
made such an impression upon me

1t is declared upon tho authority OF Pero ltya.
cnthe himself that overtures have recently been
made TO him with view TO his return 20 tho
Church OF Rome. He explains that those ad'
vanccs have been dictated by tho kindest mo-
tives. but no has courteously rejected them for
reasons which he gives. II his marriage had
been the only question, he says, his isrcconciation
with the Church of Rome would have been ac-
complished. Some of the Oriental branches OF
Roman Catholicism in which the marriage OF
priests Is recognized by the Pope would have
opened to him an honorable door through which
he would not have been the first to pass With
a moro elastic conscience no might also have
turned the question OF the infalibility Of tho
Pope. He acknowledges the primacy Of the See
OF Rome, as constituted by the ecclesiastical
law of tho early centuries, but ho rejects,
did the theologinns and Bishops of old France,
tho absolute and infallblo authority OF tho
Bishop OF Rome, Patriarch OF tho West, and first
among his equals. But, adds NJ. Loyson CPere
Hyacinthe), 1t Is not an isolated dogma, how
ever important 1t may be. which prevents him
from returning to the Church Of Rome 1t is tho
general condition Of tho Latin Church, and cs-
pecially Of tho Church Of France, which is being
more and more abandoned to superstitions OF
which it formerly left tho melancholy privilege
to Italy and Spain, ultramontane countries, and
which has totally surrendered its ancient CALI
can liberty. NJ. Loyson. who seems to take
very gloomy view OF things says that he long
ago predicted tho advent OF the clerical re-
public as tho heir Of the posltivist republic,
and that his prophecy is being gradually full
nllcd, as the Government, through ignorance,
puts up with proceedings inspired by the Nati-
can, which no monarchical Government would
have tolerated for moment. 1t is n great hu.
initiation, he exolaims, for a republican like
himself to have to regret for the independence
