THE HvacoN EX.POSITO
was preached by the late Rev. Jame
'Walker, of Muthil, a maxi who took
iivety interest in students looking fo
ward to the miniatry, a point in whic
and others felt his generosity an
fostering care. On the following Salo
lath the minister was 'introduced to hi
congregation by the renowned Rev. Dr
'Thomson, of Edinburgh, who delivere
a telling and powerful discourse o
Ephesia.ns 2nd and 8th: "For by grac
are ye saved., &c.' It may interes
lame of your readers to know that i
ems the same venerable minister who
,composed the tunes for sacred music
known by the names of St. George's
Edinburgh, Redemption, dm. The
Doctor was a host himself, and it is
hard to say whether he exoelled most
as a preacher, debater or a musician.
Be was the ni&n. who understood in-
deed what is mea,nt by grave sweet
melody. Mr. Mackenzie preached on
' the 2nd epistle of Paul to the Corin-
thians, chap. V., 28th verse: "Now,
then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God did beseech you by us we
pray you in Christ's stead, be ye recon -
Oiled to God." In a small antiquated
chapel, a few miles to the west of the
parish church, service was held OCCa-
sionally, and more frequently still after
the minister got licentiates to assist
him. The building was in a, romantic
spot, near the picturesque village of St.
Fillans, and at a short dista,nce from
Loch Earn, surrounded by noble High-
land scenery. It raay here be stated
that same of the students of divinity
addressed in English in the parish
school house occasionally people, while
the minister was engaged, in the Gatlic
fart in the parish °laurels.. One of Mr.
Mackenzie's assistants was a namesake,
Rev. Donald Madkenzie, nephew of the
far-famed Rev. Lachlan Mackenzie,
who was favorably known as a preach-
er, christiart and original man in the
in-law 'to Dr. Thomson, for some years

Ross, of Lochbroom, who was father-
ing description, written by Rev. Dr.
being a number of years connected
with the Comrie parish, Mr. 'Wm.
Mackenzie was translated to the church
and parish of Dunblane, where the
eainted Leighton had labored centuries
ago, and whose writings, especially the
comrctentary on Peter's first epistle,
still continues to edify the church of
God to the present day. The arch-
bishop also left behind him a fine
library, for the benefit of that locality.
- The parish church forms a part of the
old Cathedral of Danblanet Mr. Mac-
kenzie was afterwards translated to the
free church of North Leith, where he
continued to labor until he retired. It
• would appear that he died on a sea
voyage, and that his remains were
buried in the Red Sea. His successor
in Comrie was the Rev, James Car -
milt, some time deceased, and a son of t
the late minister of Roskeen. Mr. f
Mackenzie took a prominent part in the
affairs of the church, especially in her
days of Aery trial. Like other men he i
had his defects, and who of us are a
without them, whether ministers or a
people? Not one. But he stood well t
forward in the evangelical cause, and t
will, no doubt, be long remembered. t
a
s where the different business centres are
a likely to -be will be able to make niotiey
ra by buyind certain Winnipeg lots at
h present, but no others except by chance,
d and the chance is small. All roads
. lead to Rome. It is impOssible to talk
s of anything connected with Winnipeg
. without finding that it leads up to a
d discussion of town lots, a bad sign I
n must confess. Many buildings have
e been made of wood, not because wood
t is inexpensive, nor altogether because
t it is less expensive than other material,
but because it is ready to hand and is
more rapidly put up. The , late fire,
though many reporta of it were much
exaggerated in Eastern Canada, was
sufficient to awaken the City Council,
which consists already of twelve mem-
bers, the number of which is to be in-
creased to sixteen, to the danger of a
city built of such combustible materials
and so open to high winds as those
which sweep over the 'prairie from the
Northwest, They have, therefore, pas-
sed regulations requiring all buildin s
within a -very large limit (Should have
been extended over the whole) to be
built of brick or stone. Stone can be
procured, though as yet, owing to the
lack of railviay transportatioa from the
quarries, it is very expensive. There is
fair clay for brick making to be found
almost everywhere around Winnipeg,
bat as wood was preferred before brick
and there was hitherto no regulations
requiring the use of anything else, capi-
tal was not invested. I hear that helf
a dozen brick machines are already
here, and thatteight or ten yards will
be in full blast before the end of sum-
mer. There is a great demand for
dwellings, as people are almost sleeping
in the streets, and •houses, which in
Montreal would bring a rental of $10 to
$15, rent here for $30 to $60 per month.
I am told many men and their wives
who have been living here for more
than six or nine months past are still
lodging in rooms off offices and taking
their meals at restaurants, It costs a
great deal to furnish here, and that is
another great bar. Shops in which
'furniture will be put together will soon
be completed. Men, even women,
think very little of how they live, how-
ever, and the value of town lots is the
chief subject of conversation among
even the fair sex, though the servant
girl question is a far more serious one
here than in the East. The trouble
here is that girls get married almost at
once if they choose, and people seem to
think that zhey generally choose.
Single women often become engaged on
the way between home and Winnipeg,
as was the case with two English girls
who were pointed out to me at St.
Penis who hed paired off with a coUple
of young Canadians. The course of
love is not in their case likely to be
anything but smooth before marriage,
but arriving here as they do while the
now is on the ground and the tracks to
he West, whither they are going to
arm, all blocked up, delaying them for
days and probably weeks which they
will have to spend in tents, at the best,
b will be well for them if their very
pparent present happiness in one
nether continues. I must say that,
hough I have seen emigrants • under
he most trying circumstances, enough
o discourage and dishearten and render
1 hnmore4 any one, they have been
heerful an wonderfully considerate of
ne another, especially wives and bus -
ands to one another, I was going to
ay, but when I come to look back I
ave found the same • consideration
mong all relatives and friends. The
iroumstances are novel aud everyone
s buoyed up with a wonderful trains-
orming hope.
The assessments of the city are made
at their actual value and the rate one
nd a half per cent. Some idea of the
rowth or inflation of values may be
athered from the following figures
nrnished by one of the city officials:
n 1874 the asseesed value was 02,500,-
0 ; in 1880 65,000,000 ; in 1881, the
rst year of the boom and which only
eve the commencement of it, $9,000,-
00. This year it is not made, but it
estimated at $30,000,000. People
re given to gross exaggeration here,
nd it is probable that the estimate for
is year will prove beyond the reality.
here can be no doubt whatever that
e nominal value has increased rapidly
nce last year. The population is, of
urse, increasing fast. It is now esti-
ated at 25,000, of which 5,000 of a
eating population is included. The
titer is not, I think, exaggerated, as it
eludes all the poor emigrants who are
layed here for a week or more at a.
me and accumulate before they can
• got through this generally snow
ocked track to the West. The City
ouncil will need all and far more
an their present rates will yield them,
en if their expectations as to the
lue of the assessments are realized.
he sewerage of the city is in a bad
ndition. Only one street, Main, I
nderstand, is provided with gewerage.
he city has extended fast and the
nsequence is that it is almost wholly
ithout sewerage. Horrible oess pools
hose doors open into the halls, off
hich are the bedrooms and parlors,
e found in the principal hotels, Chlor-
o of lime is used as a deodorizer, but
will avail little in the heat of Sinn-
er. I do not see what is to prevent a
rrible plague here next summer unless
be the strong west win,ds which will
ve full sweep down the wide, though
mewhat crooked, streets. I am told
at the council are alive to the danger,
d that a, New York engineer has
en Bent for to consult as to the best
thod of sewerage.
Another thing the city needs very
thy is increased post office accommo-
tion. Pilee form in long lines which
etoh not ionly through the outer halls,
t to the very •streets, and one has to
it an hour sometimes, in line,for
turn at the wicket. After most
gent representations a bee, which is
mark of derision and scorn to all but
se who erected it, and which has
been of much service, was erected.
egalarities are, I believe, gross and
quent. Indeed there is little or no
nlarity about the service. The
rks are overworked and underpaid,
d consequently leave, so that the ser-
e is bad.
About land speculating! Nobody in
East, nor yet, for that matter, in
West, here in Winnipeg, should

y they have not the capital. They

A sermon of his may be found in the
Scottish pulpit, and it would appear
from the article already referred to
that he published some volumes on
prophecy. Ifie remains rest far from
the scenes of his ministry. We all do
fade as a leaf; there is no abiding city
hero; may we look for one to come.
While others are passing away, it is

asserted that He is the same yesterday,
to -day and for ever. W. G.
The Great Great Prairie City.
WniennEo, April 1882.
Of all who came here by the excur-
sion, none whom I have spoken to were
prepared to efind so much apparently
solidprosperity. Small buildings wide-
ly scattered on all but the main streets,
with not a large business doing he any
thing but real estate is what people
who are not enthusiasts meetly expect.
These have come to natural ponclusions
that the inflation of the price of land in
the city had hitherto and would still
prevent buildings' from going up in the
city. Now this is not the case. There
are a great many fine stores, etc., filled
with the best qualities of goods, which
are doing a very large business. They
boast of finer goods and of higher priced
than are sold in Montreal, and of a
larger business doing, store for store,
laere than in Montreal. There is, of
course, no way of proving this latter,
but the fernier I suspect to be the case.
In the first place the freight on the
pods coming here is so great as to make
the cost in England ont of all propor-
tion small to the prices obtained here,
so that the difference in the cost of
really fine goods and of poor goods is so
smell as to make it no inducement to
the storekeeper to keep poor goods.
The Hudson Bay Company sell really
magnificent goods, and do not take pains
m
to solicit custo, as indeed does no one
here, having no need for it, except real
estate owners and brokers. - They so-
licit enough for everybody else. A
great many people have made corn-
paratively large fortunes (it may be on
paper, but their credit is good,) rapidly
and easily, and of Course they spend
their money easily, a,nd are inclined,
indeed, to magnificence. The Ontar-
ians who have just arrived are looked
Upon as somewhat parsimonious. As a
fact the most expensive lots are built
Upon, sorae buildings being of a very
eubstantial character, euch as the banks
and many stores and hotels, of white
brick home-made and poor, and the
Hudson Bay Company's store is made
of Cincinnati pressed brick, each one of
which cost, I am told, seven cents.
While all buildings are not substantial
—many being merely of wood built on
the ballooning plan, some of these being
cased with brick,—whether substantial
or not all these buildings are expensive
.—but although situated on high priced
b
land, and being themselves expensive,
they at presentpay large profits. An
immense increase of business is expect-
ed during the next summer, and build-
ings are now'goieg up rapidly, and will
go up still more rapidly. It is noticeable,
howevertthat few of the new buildings
are going up on Main street or Portage
—which are tbe high priced streets—
but on other streets near by, and on
the lots west of Main street, and be-
tween the outskirts of the city and the
railway station. This appears to argue
that Main street lots are too high even
in comparison with those of other
etreets. Those who have any idea of
