MOUNT CLARE* AND LONDON, April 28th–May 4th, 1879.
—We visited old Pro. Owen and his pretty, older sister: he delighted me with an account of the monster N.Z. wingless antediluvian bird, whose leg-bone made Owen's fame.
—Mon. Heard a fine speech of Uncle W.'s on the Budget, making mince-meat of it.
