It is a pity that “Lynx ” could notwnind his own business and write the troth in a public newspaper. At any rate, if I did go I would not ask him to pay my passage.—*! am, Aquks Johnston, Dunedin, April 228. . , - • TO ®H* BDHOa ■ Sir, — In reply to the inquiry on the 27th inst. as to at whose expense the pauper Agnes Johnston went to the Melbourne Exhibition there can be no diffifalty in explaining.
