THE PROGRESS OF NEW ZEALAND.
The Future in the Distance.
A gentleman, formerly resident in New Zealand, but who has for many years past been occupied in trailing in New South Wales, Tahiti, and the South Sea Islands generally, while speaking to a representative of an Cjtago gaper, said h,e had been on a holiday trip through the Colony renewing old friendships, and was surprised to note the great advancement and progress of tho Colony generally. It was conceded by all, that New Zealand was tho finest country on the face of the globe, and he had everywhere heard it spoken of as the garden of the southern world, but he had scarcely been prepared for the prevailing prosperity, anc] could not .ay too much in praise of the energy and progressiveness of Now Zealanders. Of. the Colony, however, he looked upon Otago as the finest country of all, and great as were the agricultural, pastoral, and manufacturing industries he was surprised they were not trebled, with so magnificent a country at hand.
