Wi- Twopenny : Well, I Imvo not; yet hud time to muko up a dot.niled estimate, and, tube frank, 1 t hall not put much faith in my own estimate when it is made, Tbe interviewer laughed. Mr Twopenny : Yes, 1 daresay you think It is a queer sort of statement, and it may make people afraid that I urn a eoit of budding \ rogol ; but it >s because I huvo planned and man ng. d rlneo exhibitions of my owl), and know how .impossible it ia to make moro l-bail thi> roughest estimate?,that I say co. If i.j eafy unoagh for a thejii-st to draw up an Ortiinite, v»liich looks! very beautiful on papor, hut a practical man knows the difli- OHilicH —and what is moro, ho knows that if lie under - estimates by any chance, tho public and the Government will turn lnund and read him a Lecture at tho rlosß of the Exhibition, sod hia reputa tion a^ an expert will be destroyed, al though very probably the additional cost itrii-i.w from ciiu,°es impossible to foresee and to control.

But I will give you something to go upon, ('hurgiug for spuce ut v shilling a foot in Christehurch, wo took £1,800.

The Village Settlement Scheme.

Every settler must spend all his time and energy f or the next two months to get

j a little ground cleared and a house built before winter sets in ; then a little work on roads or gumh'iilds would be vory aceoptable when they could afford the tiino. But just at prasunc their work is cvl: out for them. I have spont four days, and have traversed over nearly every section of tho block, and I have not seen one single bad section on it. ' Here and there a little spur may be found, but that you will find all over New Zea land. Reports were current in Auckland before wo left that people here wore starving. I assure you they are all alive and kicking — excuse the phraseology. I may ni-o say, in due fairness to Mr John Lundon, that what promises he held out to tho people in Auoklind have been more than fulfilled, and he is with us yet, and ha? vieited every settler on tho block. I may pay that two or three young men re turned by the Argylo. They wero never off the boich where we landed, fo reports from thorn avail nothing."

Mr and Mrs Mountain in Oamaru.

The Roy. J. and Mrs Mountain, whose Gos pelandtemporancemiflsion work in England Scotland, and British Colonies during the past twelve years haa brought them promi nently befora the Christian worlj, have just concluded a nine days' united Gospel mia sion in Oamarn. They leave amid tha regrets of all whose privilege it haa been to become acquainted with them and to eniov the instruction and encouragement which has been vouchsafed through their means St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, selected by the United Committee for its accommoda. tion and conveniences, wae the place of meeting, and served its purpose well although on one or two Sabbath occaeions during the miecion it became a little too etrait for the attendance. The evangelists arrived a few days before the Saturday (sth February) upon which the mission was to begin, and two or three evenings were spent in training th« choir of nearly 150 children and adults. And here was at once seen wherein lies a great part of Mr Mountain's success. His experienced judgment in class ing his heterogeneous choir is important, but his maiu power lies in the affectionate 'tact with which he puts everybody, to the sma). eat child, at his naee, and wins from him a hearty acquiescence in what ho thinks best to propose. The hymn-book used is a com, pilation of Mr Mountain's own called " B.vangol Hymns," the words of whioh are new, and themusic.composod almost entirely by the misMOnerhim-elf, sweet and offective Mrs Mountain is an admirable help-meet to herhurband, and in Oamaru, as elsewhere, forms a formidable rival to him in tho affec tione of the people. We h«ve every confi. dence in recommending the servlees of the missioned to all evangelical denominations where it -a doomed ad visible to supp!emen| ordinary church efFort by tho importuat auxiliary of the Special Gospel Mission. There is every prosper of not ai,w acceasionsjto the membership ol our several churo.hc« in Oamaru as tba tho direct rosujt o? the nine f.lay H ! mission -Z [Correspondent ]
