PICTURESQUE DUNEDIE AS OTHERS SEE US. The representative of a well-known firm of Woolbrokers in London, who recently passed through Dunedin, and expressed himself in such flatteringterrnsregardinghis impressions of our city and its surroundings, has reached Home, and wonderful to relate—unlike other "globe trotters"—he still retains a pretty vivid recollection of Dunedin and its citizens. He says that, notwithstanding the fact that he has visited nearly every important city in the four quarters of the globe, no place has so favourably impressed him as Dunedin, and he will never forget the "little thriving city amongst the hills", as he terms it. He thinks, however, that the inhabitants are a little too ambitious, or they would not be so discontented, and would grumble less about bad times, &c. Owing to some peculiarly favourable circumstances he had opportunities to investigate the real position of several firms, and found, that in spite of much moaning and bewailing, a really good business was being done; in some instances, indeed, the yearly profit was of a magnitude to create envy in the minds of otherwise contented London tradesmen. He further describes Dunedin as a " One-street City," and adds that, as a rule, business is impossible on premises diverging even a jard from the main thoroughfare; but he acknowledges tiiat there is one exception to the rule. "No one," says he, "should fail to make a periodical visit to view the fernery and flowers displayed in the window of Matthews, seedsman, Moray place (opposite the Coffee Palace)." This window being the most exquisitely tasteful sight to be seen south of the line, and affords an excellent opportunity for selecting choice and rare plants, and presuming that the continual exhibition will create a taste for these beauties of nature, it can fairly be said that the enterprisiDg tradesman referred to is a public benefactor.
