n aa P^S? 1 ??. Possibles of Papal succession, H. Ward BeechersChriatian Union says :~«Eome has once been the church ot tne people, and there is nothing to prevent her becoming the church of the people again, except the pride of opinion of her leaders. Suppose the new Pope should put himself at the head of the popular movements of Europe, which have been infidel more because they had no religious leaders than from any other cause, and should use the people, as the Church has done more than once in the history of the past, to break the power of the Governments with which il lias been in conflict, it would probably easily gain control. In France it would become a much more active power than it now is ; and so in Germany, It would almost certainly become, for the time, the absolate master of Spain, and perhaps Italy. In the present condition of Chmch questions m Great Britain, it would possibly get an influence Avith the masses there, and even in the United States, which we do ?°* f} re ?s • Of * c ? lUM1 UMe 1 ? l i s is aU conjecture, and the probabilities are that the pious folly which has set the Church of Eome needlessly against the spirit of the age, will be continued."

Skinner bo far as the Colony is concerned, the dyeing of materials is almost entirely confined to the re-dyeing of Articles of Dress and Upholstery, a most useful art, for there are many kinds of material that lose their colour before the texture is half worn. G. Hiesoh, of Dunedin (Dunedin Dye Works, George-street, opposite Eoyal George Hotel) exhibits a case of specimens of Dyed Wools, Silks, and Feathers, and dyed Sheepskins. The colors on the whole are very fair, and reflect considerable credit on the Exhibitor, to whom the Jurors recommended an Honorary Certificate should be awarded.
