It is with some regret that we read the announcement that Mme. Blavatsky is about to leave these regions and depart for the East. Rumor reports that it is there she acquired the marvellous knowledge of which she made so efficient a use in the Theosophical Society. It is fitting that occasionally we should have among us a Mme. Blavatsky and a Colonel Olcott, in order that they may stir the muddy pool of conventionalism. Surrounding such people there will always be a circle of denoucers and depreciators. It has been the case here, and consequently the lady and gentleman have been frequently misrepresented and abused for attaching themselves to a religion of which nothing is known in this country. They have a right, however, to choose their religion for themselves, just as other people have a right to be Baptists or Methodists. | It is with some regret that we read the announcement that Mme.
