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.

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 n syndicates for the pureose of buy - lots and holding them again for 0. Most of these syndicates are ten up by persons who have no (mph of their own and want to get a slice omebody else's. They are on the t, and know of a good thing in lots, y they have not the capital. They ready to "promote" the syndidatte 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 • only Jesus Christ, of whom it can be 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.
