Aniilts written liy Mr M. S. l.efi tin- American journalist who ic.riitiy touicii New Zealand, ai'c now appearing; in the Amerlu.ui press, sums <1 slowing account of New /...'•land. In a l\\o t'lvUimn aUiolc upon ill- coioiiv, which appears in the Sau Flam im'o Call, 11 r l.elliiigwell ex|iii:ses hiiiiseli ileiighusl Willi what he saw and heard, and regards New, Zealand as the most charming country in all the world, a colony ili'Slinid 10 future gicatney;, and one which tin 1 civilised world does now, and wi'l iurther approve and comp.'i-mi-nt, when once its al tract bins are I be tier known. Touching ujk h Auckland, Mr I/Ollingw't'll says :--"Wlirn our stcamir entered the harbour at Auckland I saw one of the most picturesque sights that the eye is permitted to gate upon. The breaking day bad given way to Ihe Rising sun, and the sun, glinting on the floating clouds, turned its shafts of gdd to bills a ad mountains which reciprocal id iheir changing to seines of various sliadis ol green. It must be from ten lo twelve miles from the lime the steamer enters the mouth,of ihe harbour until We landed at the wharf. And during a" this lime we passed through llie channel protected 'by great high hills and cliffs. In the distanc.- v.c saw the picturesque city, nestling in peace and quietness, in senile harmony tvilh its environment. imagine a background of deepest green, water wilb a mirror smoothness and l'cllceiion, and then a city wilb houses in pink and red roofs, and you have in your mind's eye; Auckland, the first to reach of the many beautiful cilies New Zealand possesses." The following statement by Prince Mcstehersky is quoted from the curlent issue of the Transactions of Hi: Anglo-Russian Literary Society "I had a irieial who, I'm unknown r.asons, bought some harness, and in : id-, r to nulls' il, purchased ahorse. And wh.ii lie got the horse he decided lo utilise it by investiug in a carrii'.ge. Finally my frrend discovered thai h 1 had not the means to :k ssess these things, so he sold tliein all .it a loss and dismissed his coachman. This circumstance reminds me of Peter the Great's navy.

The Calmerslon South district is at present busily engaged in searching' for information asMo the rights, of salvors of wrecked cargo (says the otago Daily Times.) It appears that much uf the timber from the wreck iof the County of Ayr svas saved at considerable cos;, teams having to be employed and the salvors, we unilcrs'lat d, 'decline to -give up possessicn to the purchaser until their claims for salvage are niel. Again, j much of-the timber lias been] slraih'ljd- d on places where it can only be removed by passing ovet private property. and as the haulage of the commodity over pasture i.s not. calculated to improve Ihe latter, a further adjustment will have lo be made before removal. A good deal of the. linder has. it is whispered, gone iiv land. The unforinnate jmvchaseiwill probably gain considerable experience before In- succeeds in collecting his purchase.
