HELENSVICFLLE.

It is over two years since we passed through this district. Rapid progress has boen made in the development of the town ship, which has a much more prosperous and healthy look than formerly. New buildings, several of a superior class, havo sprung up in every direction. Road making and the formation of now streets is boing systematically attended to in various directions. And although some speak of it as a sort of dead-and-alive place, we found considerable signs of life and symptoms betokening future prosperity. There are several local industries display ing not a little enterprise in the community. The Helensville Timber Company appears to be in a prosperous state.- Near to this, a new industry in chair manufacture has just been started. A new timber company called the Kaipara Timber Com pany is about to commence operations near tho railway terminus. Timber is now being brought from all branches of tho Kaipara. Five steamers are trading from llolensville, one of these being spocially engaged to float timber down from tho northern dis tricts. Tho barque Ferdou has just loaded some 100,000 feet of timber for export. Besides tho timber trade there are several other industries which promise to develop into proportions of considerable magnitude. The flour mill under Mr Bates is in good working order, and turning out a good article. Spinlcy and Co.'sengineering works, tho brick yard, and last, though not least, tho toilet soap manufactory of Mr Hjorth, are all making (rood progress. There are several boarding-houses, all doing a good trade. The stores all seem doing a healthy business. There aro also three large hotels, which appear to bo very well managed. We understand Helensville is deemed a sort of hotbed of freethought, but, so far as we could judge, it is on tho whole healthy in telligent freethougbt, and although in somo cases it may appear an extreme re action from a narrow, bigoted, sectarian theology, if it leads the people to use their own God-given reason in judging of religion, as well as all other matters, social reform will result from it.

Babylon is a rather singular name for a district on tho opposite side of the Kaipara River, a low, flat piece of marshy land, which has been taken up by a number of settlers, who are burning and clearing off and draining the land. Most of this ib capital land for agricultural and dairy produce, and we think will well repay for tho outlay—especially to small, industrious settlers working their own land. About 14 miles from Helensville, on the Kaipara side of the river, there is a hot spring impregnated with potassium. This is on a Government reserve, which may eventually prove a sanatorium for tho district.

There aro two matters of importance to tho growth of Helensville which wo hope tho townspeople will lose no time in using every means to obtain—a branch bank, and a good water supply.—(ACorrespondent.)

ARTIFICIAL STONE.

In compliance with a request made to them, Messrs Hibberd and Legge again exhibited at their office, Customs-street, the models of machinery and specimens of artificial stone, and also made another test of the strength of the material in the bressummor. Amongst those present was M. de flarven, the representative of Bel gium commercial interests, Mr T. Hender son, Mr Cramond, Mr Kidd, Mr Elliot, Mr Gascoigne, Mr Grey, and several gentlemen interested in the building trade. All ex pressed themselves as much impressed with tho apparent usefulness of the invention, while somo experts in the building trade had doubts as to the patentees being able to turn out the material at tho price they profess to be able to do it at. The test of strength made on this occasion was much more severe than on the former trial. The brossummer, as before, was composed of 20 model blocks, being 30 inches in length when cemented together. Each end of this tvas placed on one of the model pillars, composed of a number of blocks of artificial stone standing about 9 inches in height, and on this, as it lay suspended, was placed 3 Jcwts in a line. Then in tho centre was formed a pile of weights consisting of :$ iewte, a 281b, 141b, 71b, in all 3cwt less 71b ; yet with this enormous and tottering Height on so small a supporting sur face, the thing stood until it received an accidental knock, which brought tho whole to tho floor; but although tho structure showed signs of dis tress before receiving the knock that upaot it, yet none of the blocks broke before they fell. Mr Hibberd informed us that tho breseummer was put together with locally-made cement only two hours previous to the trial test being made. We are in formed that M. de Herven is in treaty with Messrs Hibberd and Legge for the right to neo tho patent in Belgium, France, and Germany. He believes the invention will be highly appreciated in thoso countries, concrete boing largoly used there, especially in Antwerp, where a very extensive sea wall is now being formed of that material, but made on a different principle, and in solid blocks. Messrs Hibberd and Legge have commenced to erect ther permanent works at Mechanics' Bay, and expect to havo it in working order in two months from this time.

TRYING A CANOE.

A little episode illustrating the many dangers attendant on those who go down to tho sea in ships occurred on Sunday, and which for tho time being aroused the usually apathotic denizens of North Shoro into a somewhat mild ttato of excitement. Thoso not attending church in the morning, unit who wore still strolling on the sands in tho hope of catching a glimpse of our noble defenders on thoir way home from church parade, could not help noticing a canoe put out from the Kowing Club's shed, having for its occupants a well-known disciple of homceopathy and a bank clerk. Dispensing with the orthodox means of paddling their own canoe, these hardy tars had small sails fitted up fore and aft, and after a preliminary canter, as it were, they started, and havingr nego tiated a fair distance from the wharf in good time, they essayed, a return, the water being somewhat lumpy, and the wind fresh ; but the fates were decidedly against the bold mariners, for, in attempting to head tho craft for the shore, tho main boom was lifted too high, and a puff of wind catching tho sail capsized the whole con cern, leaving the occupants struggling in the water. They were subsequently restored to terra firma by a Crew which put off to their assistance, none the worse for their immersion. It is matter for speculation as to whether the disciple of homceopathy carried anyof the briny element away for analysis; he certainly was up to his neck in it for Borne time, and avers that on the next occa sion when a Chicago-built' boat requires a trial of speed, he will seek for a convinc ing ground, not tho lovely waters of the Waitemata, but a much smaller pond.

The Soudan—Experiences of a New Zealander.

Mr John Theopiiilus Hogak, a gentleman who was in the Soudan twelve years ago, gives us some information regarding the country and the labours in it of his country man, Werner Munzinger, the botanist, who was Governor-General of tho Soudan for some time, and who met his death by Arab treachery, as did tho late General Gordon. At tho time of tho British expedition to Abyssinia, Mttn zinger was Boy of Massowah, and gavo valuable aid to Lord Napier in tho shape of directions as to route and introductions to the chiefs who were disaffected to Theodore and likely to render help to the English army. It was Munzinger's opinion that England should have given tho port of Mas sowah to Abyssinia, and that country would have preserved peace in the Soudan. The same view was expressed by an Englishman who wrote a book entitled " Three Months in Abyssinia," and,who said the climate was quite unfit for Europeans to live in. In this opinion Mr Hobar also concurs, as he suffered from a Eunstroke received in the month of May, which disabled him for weeks. After returning to Switzerland, Mr Hobar kept up correspondence with Munzinger Pasha, who was stationed at Khartoum as Governor of the Soudan. In ;\ letter received in October, 1876, Munzingor said he was in the Nubian Desert at the head of 40,000 men fighting the. rebels. In a month after wirds news was received that Munziugcr had been treacherously murdered by a young Arab whom he had treated as a Bon. The result of Mr Hobar's experience of the country is that the climate is deadly to Europeans, and the Arabs and Egyptians conspicuous for their '' cussednoss."
