QUEENSLAND.

! A Christchurch lady who lias hoou i spending the winter in Queensland ; writes most enthusiastically of the northern State ns a health and holiday resort and as a place for making fortunes. “Queensland,” she says, “is a marvellous place, full of possiI hilities, and actualities, too. Unless one has been there to see for oneself it is not possible to imagine the prosperity and riches of the country. The productions are marvellous. Leaving out the riches made from sheep

and cattle stations, the cotton, sugar, | 1 pineapples—all kinds of marvellous | things grow, and all the fruit is luscious and delicious. lam astounded at , the wonders of the country, and I assure you there isn’t the slightest exaggeration about it. I wonder everybody doesn’t try to go and live there.” This, remarks the “Lyttelton Times,” is not the usual story sent to New Zealand by travellers in the State, but this Christchurch lady, who went to Brisbane an invalid and is now wandering about the country complete-! ly restored to health, is unstinting in I her eulogy of its-climate, its produc-| tiveness and its people.
