moni, kua riro atu hoki nga nupepa.
E hiahia ana matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga taiawa Maori. Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo iaua mahi—ara te
herengi mana i roto i te pauna kotahi.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Ko nga tangata o te takiwa o Waipiro e Wahia ana ki te tango
i tenei nupepa, me haere ki a J. A. Hatingi, Pakeha o reira.

KUA tata tenei ki te hui nui o Waikato i a Maehe

nui nga hua pai e puta ki te motu katoa. Kei taua
hui te tutuki ai nga tikanga o te whakahaeretanga
tikanga mo te taha Maori a Ta Hori Kerei raua ko
"te Minita Maori—kei reira te pakaru ai ta raua
pahuka piataata i pupuhi ai raua (te mea
e pupuhi nei e te tamariki ki te paipa. ) E
mohio ana matou he tokomaha nga Pakeha o te
koroni e tino whakaaro ana tera e taea e Ta Hori
Kerei etahi tikanga pai i taua hui, ara nga tu
Pakeha e kuare ana ki nga tikanga Maori e whakaaro
pera ana; e mahara ana ratou ma te mana o Ta
Hori Kerei e turaki i te arai e arai atu nei i te
Kingi Maori i a tatou; a ka tupu ake i roto i te nga-
kau o nga iwi o Waikato he whakaaro whakapono ki
te Kawanatanga ka roa nei e tupatoria ana e ratou;
a ma reira e whakaaetia mai ai he tikanga e ahei ai
te whakanohonoho tangata ki te whenua, e ahei ai te
mahi rerewe, te aha noa atu. Heoi rawa te take i
penei ai he whakaaro, ko te " mana" o Ta Hori
Kerei ki nga Maori; he waiata noa ia, he mea
takoto ke noa atu ki ta matou e mohio ana ki te ahua
o nga Maori. Ehara hoki matou i te tauhou ki nga
whakaaro o nga Maori i tenei wa; no konei e kaha

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1879.
WAIKATO POLITICS.
THE great Waikato March meeting, from which the
country has been led to expect great and satisfactory
results, is fast approaching. The Native policy of
Sir George Grey and the Native Minister will then
have reached its climax—the bubble will have burst.
We have no doubt that very many persons in the
colony, who are ignorant of the feeling existing in.
the Native mind at the present moment, actually be-
lieve that Sir George Grey will achieve a success at
the forthcoming meeting; that by his " personal in-
fluence " he will break down, the barrier of the Maori
King's reserve, and produce in the mind of the
Waikato tribes a feeling of confidence and trust in
the Government to which they have long been
strangers; and that, as the result of this, large
facilities will be afforded for settlement, railways
will be constructed, and so forth. Now all this is
based upon a supposition only, a mere idea
—the supposition of Sir George Grey's " per-
sonal influence"—and is so entirely opposed to
our knowledge of the character of the Natives (after
long years of experience), and of the feeling which
actuates the Native mind at the present time, that
we do not for au instant hesitate to assert that the
whole thing is visionary, that the meeting will be
a failure, and that confidence and trust will not be
produced ia the mind of the King tribes. And the
reason, is very simple. The Waikato and Ngati-

roto i te ngakau o nga Kingi Maori. He mea takoto
noa te take i kore ai. Inahoki, kihai ano kia whaka-
pono noa a Waikato, me etahi atu iwi o te motu nei,
ki te rironga rawatanga o nga whenua o Waikato i
te rau o te patu; e whakaaro tonu ana ki aua
whenua; e mea tonu ana tera marire te wa e whaka-
hokia ai ki a ratou; no konei ratou ka noho wehe ke
i a tatou, e noho whanga ana, e noho tiaki tonu ana;
e kore ratou e pai kia whakaae ki te aha, ki te ana
ranei; e kore ratou e pai kia rere noa ki runga ki
tenei tikanga, ki tera tikanga ranei, kei kiia kua tatu
o ratou ngakau ki te rironga o aua whenua. A, na
te ahua o nga tikanga a Ta Hori Kerei raua ko te
Minita Maori ki a ratou i nui haere ai taua whakaaro
i a ratou i tenei wa. Kihai i rite to ratou whakako-
tahitanga i te whakaaro i nga tau kua taha nei i to
tenei wa e whakaaro kotahi nei ratou—ara e nui i
haere aua te mana o te Kingi.
Ko Ta Tanara Makarini kua mate nei, i mohio
rawa ki te ahua o te whakaaro o aua iwi Maori; he
nui hoki tona hiahia kia hoatu, he tikanga pai ki a
ratou, e ora ai o ratou ngakau, no kona ia ka hoko-
hoko i nga whenua a etahi Pakeha kia taea e ia te
whakahoki i tetahi whenua puku ki aua iwi Maori,
ara ko te whenua i Pirongia haere atu ki te puaha o
Waikato, i te taha hauauru o Waipa—kua hiahia
noa atu hoki a Waikato kia hoki taua wahi ki a
ratou. Engari e riri ana rapea nga iwi Kingi ki te
mahi a* tenei Kawanatanga mo tana wahi, a e mea
ana matou he take tena e hirori ai a Ta Hori Kerei i
te hui o Maehe nei; tera e rere mai he patai a te
Kingi ki a ia e kore ai e taea e ia te whakahoki pai e
pai ai nga iwi o Waikato. Tera tatou e kite, waiho
marire.
' Kua ki matou e riri ana nga Kingi Maori ki te
mahi a tenei Kawanatanga. Ae ra, he maha nga
take i riri ai, otira e kore e pau i a matou te korero i
tenei ra—ka mutu tonu to ratou mate e korero ai
matou ko nga whenua o Pirongia. I te Paremete
kua taha ake nei i ui a MEKE MIKI ki te Minita
Maori, i roto i te Whare, kia whakaaturia mai e ia
te whakaaro o te Kawanatanga mo nga whenua i
Pirongia, Waikato, i hokona e Ta Tanara Makarini i
nga Pakeha, kia whakahokia ki nga Maori Kingi.
Kaore ia e pai kia whakahokia taua whenua ki nga
Maori, engari me tuku ki te Runanga (te Poata)
whakahaere tikanga mo nga whenua takoto kau.
Katahi ka utua taua patai e te HIHANA, ka mea, he
tika te hokonga a Ta Tanara Makarini i aua whenua
kia whakahokia ki nga Maori Kingi. Otira no te
tuunga o tenei Kawanatanga, i te tuatahi ra ano,
kua mea ratou kia kaua rawa taua wahi e whaka-
hokia; a kua kaha haere to ratou whakaaro pera
inaianei, no te mea kua kore e pai nga Maori ki
taua whenua. Na te Hihana ena kupu i roto i te
Whare. Ko matou e mahara ana kai te riri te
Kingi mo te panuitanga o aua whenua o Harapepe, o
Pirongia, i roto i te Kahiti kia hokona. 1 ki te
Makarini kia hoatu aua whenua mana, a e mahara ana
a ia kite mahi a te Kawanatanga inaianei he mahi teka
ki a ia.
maniapoto tribes, and others in various parts of the
colony, have never yet accepted as an absolute fact
the confiscation of the Waikato lands; they have
hoped against hope always cherishing the idea that
these lands would, at some time or other, be returned
to them, and consequently they have kept sullenly
aloof from us watching and waiting, unwilling to
make any concession, or to commit themselves to any
action, which might seem to imply that they had
realized the fact of the confiscation. And the policy
which Sir George Grey and the Native Minister
have pursued towards them, have increased this feel-
ing in a tenfold degree. It is a fact that they are
much more united now than they have been for
years, and that the King is actually growing into a
power in the country.
•
The late Sir Donald McLean, being fully aware
of the feeling existing in the Native mind and de-
sirous of conciliating them as much as lay in his
power, bought out several farmers and others, so as
to be able to restore to them one entire block from
Pirongia to Waikato Heads, on the west side of
Waipa—a district which the Waikatos have always
been especially anxious to regain. The action of the
present Government with regard to this block has
considerably incensed the Kingites against them, and
we confidently predict that at the March meeting
Sir George Grey will find it a stumbling block in his
way; he will be asked questions by His Majesty the
King to which he will be unable to give answers
satisfactory to the Waikatos. We shall see in due
time.
We have said that the action of the present Go-
vernment has incensed the Kingites against them;
and it has done so in more ways than one, which
however we cannot now stay to discuss—we must
confine ourselves to this " grievance" about the
Pirongia lands. Last session Mr. MCMINN ashed
the Native Minister, in the House, if he would
state the intentions of the Government with
regard to certain lands in the district of
Pirongia, Waikato, purchased from Europeans and
others by Sir Donald McLean for the purpose of re"
turning the said lands to the King Natives. He
hoped those lands would not be handed over to the
Natives, but that they would be given to the Waste
Lands Board to be dealt with. Mr. SHEEHAN re-
plied that it was correct that Sir Donald McLean
had purchased a considerable area of land with the
intention of handing it back to the King Natives
that the present Government, however, from the very
first moment they came into office, had made up
their minds not to give it back, and that their de-
termination was confirmed by the fact that the
Natives themselves would not take up the land Now,
we have good reasons for believing that the gazetting
for sale of those Harapepe and Pirongia lauds has
annoyed the King exceedingly. They were pro-
mised to him by Sir Donald McLean, and he looks

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
Tena, he aha te take i kii ai inaianei kia hokona
aua whenua i kiia i mua ai kia tukua ki a Waikato ?
Ki ta matou e mohio ana, ko te tino take tenei, ara:
—Ko te MEKE MINI, te mema mo Waipa, kaore e
pai ana kia noho tata ki a ia nga Maori. I tino
kino rawa ia ki te whakaaro o Ta Tanara, Makarini
mo aua whenua; a no te tohenga ki a ia kia tu ia
hei mema mo Waipa hei tautoko i a Kerei, i te tau-
whainga ki a te Witika ra, i taua wa ka tuku,
waea ia ki a Kerei he ui ki te rohe
ki te taha tongako te wahi e whakahokia ana ki
nga Maori. Ka utua mai e Kerei, ka mea, " E kore
e paneke atu i Karakariki ki te taha tonga, haere
atu i te puaha o Waikato. " Katahi a Meke
Mini ka ki hei tangata tautoko kaha rawa ia i
a Kerei; engari na te mea i hui katoa ki a ia nga
pooti a nga Maori i tu ai ia. Na nga mahi a te
Wheoro i aro mai ai nga Maori ki te pooti ki a ia
ki a Meke Mini; kihai a te Wheoro i whakaaro he
apiha ia no te Kawanatanga, haere marire ana ki
te whakahau i nga tangata ki a pooti. Heoi, whaka-
rerea ana te kupu a Ta Tanara Makarini i ki ai mo
aua whenua, whiwhi ana hoki a Ta Hori Kerei ki
tetahi tangata tautoko rawa i a ia i roto i te Pare-
mete—ara ko Meke Mini, te tangata i tu i runga i
nga pooti a nga Maori marire ano, engari kaore ia i
whakaaro ki a ratou, i poka ke tana mahi i te mea e
ora ai ratou, he pera me etahi tangata e mahi
whakawai nei inaianei, e kiia nei he hoa aroha ratou no
nga Maori. Ki te mea ka tu he pootitanga a mua ake
nei, e kore rapea e riro i a Meke Mini nga pooti a
nga Maori, ahakoa te " mana'" a Ta Hori Kerei hei
hapai i a ia.
Ko tenei he ui ta matou, he aha te take i uru ai a
te Wheoro ki roto ki enei mahi raweke ai ?—tena
apiha a te Kawanatanga, tena tangata kai i nga
moni a te Kawanatanga ? E mahara ana matou ki
te pootitanga o mua i tu ai a Karaitiana Takamoana
hei mema, i te takiwa i whawhai ai ki tera Kawana-
tanga nga mema kua tu hei Minita inaianei, i hapa-
rangi rawa o ratou waha ki tetahi tikanga i kiia
kihai i ata tika i roto i te whakahaeretanga o taua
pootitanga. Ko tenei, he apiha tenei na te Kawana-
tanga i whakarere noa i nga mahi i kiia hei mahi
mana haere marire ana ki te whakahau i nga tangata
kia pooti ratou i tetahi mema tautoko i a Ta Hori
Kerei! He mea whakapakepake rapea. Tera pea i
whakakitea ki a ia te wairua o te rangatiratanga
whakawa a kitea a moemoea ana e ia i ai
a ano e noho ana i te nohanga Kai-
whakawa* raua tahi pea ko tona kai-awhina,
te tamaiti i riro i a ia te mahi a Meiha Mea
(a te Kerehi), taua tamaiti i kiia ra mana e " mahi
tahi i nga Maori i runga i te whakaaro kotahi, mana
e pahure ai nga mahi nunui i nga takiwa Maori, ka
oti tioki i a ia nga raruraru te whakaoti. " Kowai te
tangata i rongo rawa ki te rupahu penei o mua iho ?
Ko taua tamaiti, i kiia ra tera ia e mahi tahi i nga
Maori, i haere ki Kopua i tetahi rangi kua taha ake
upon; the action of the present Government in the
matter as a breach of faith with him.
How came it to pass that this land, which had been
promised to the Waikatos, has been, gazetted for
sale ? As we understand it, the following is the real
history of the affair. Mr. McMINN (the present
member for Waipa) objects to Maories living in his
vicinity. He was bitterly opposed to Sir Donald
McLean's policy in this matter, and when he was
pressed to stand for Waipa in the Grey interest, in
opposition to Mr. Whitaker (jun. ), he tele-
graphed to Grey asking where the southern boundary
of the block to he returned to the Natives was in-
tended to be; Grey replied, " No further southward
than Karakariki from Waikato Heads. " McMinn
then declared himself a staunch supporter of Grey,
but was only returned on the, Maori block vote,
which was brought about by the machinations of Te
Wheoro, who, although a Government officer, went
deliberately to Whatawhata for that purpose. And
so the promise made by the late Sir Donald McLean
was broken; but Sir George Grey secured an out and
out supporter in the House—a man returned by the
Maori votes, but who acted directly against their in-
terest, as others of their so-called friends are doing.
We may safely predict that in any future election
Mr. McMinn will not be returned by the Maori
votes, notwithstanding Sir George Grey's " personal
influence. "
In conclusion we may ask, how came the Wheoro,
a Government officer, receiving Government pay, to.
dabble in these matters ? We remember, when the
members of the present Government were in opposi-
tion, they made a great outcry about some trifling
mismanagement of an election in which the late
Karaitiana Takamoana was a candidate. But here
we have a Government officer actually going out of
his way to secure the returns of a supporter of Sir
George Grey! Without doubt he was tampered
with. Doubtless a vision of judicial honors was pre-
sented to his view, and he saw himself seated on the
Magisterial bench assisted by the young gentleman,
(Mr. William Grace), to inake room for whom
Major Mair was dismissed, and who was " expected
to work more in accordance with the Natives, to ex-
pedite the public works in Native districts, and
render easy the settlement of any difficulty which
might arise in the course of the carrying out of those
works. " Did anyone ever before hear of such a
farce ? This young man, who was to mark so much
in accord with the Natives, went to Kopua the other
day for the purpose of seeing Manuhiri, but he was
turned back by the chiefs.

nei kia kite ia i a Manuhiri, kaore i tukuna atu,
panaia mai ana e nga rangatira!
Kotahi hoki ta matou kupu mo te hui o Maehe, ka
mutu. Ki te mea kai te whakaaro a Ta Hori Kerei
raua ko te Minita Maori ko a raua kai-tuhituhi anake
e tae ki reira, akuanei he ai to raua whakaaro pera
—ara, a raua kai-tuhituhi hei whakapaipai i nga
korero kia pai ai (ara kia poka ke ai) hei whakaari-
tanga ki te Whare me te motu. Tera e tae ki reira
etahi tangata hei whakaatu pono mai ki a matou i
nga korero.
NGA TOHU O TE TAU.
Ko te Kerehi kua panaia mai i nga kainga o te
Kingi Maori i te 19 o Pepuere, he tohe nana kia
haere ia kia kite i a Manuhiri. Ko te tahake tenei,
a te Kerehi, i riro i a ia te mahi a Meiha Mea, i kiia
tera ia e " mahi tahi i nga Maori i runga i te aroha
me te whakaaro kotahi. " Ka rongo a Honana ki
tona taenga ki Kopua katahi ia ka tuhi reta ki a
Tukorehu kia peia kinotia taua Pakeha. (Ko Tuko-
rehu hoki, raua ko Tupotahi, nga kai-tiaki o Kopua. )
Katahi ka tuhi pukapuka a Tukorehu ki a ia kia haere
ia, a haere ana—rite ana te kupu mona mo te
" whakaaro kotahi, " inahoki i whakarongo pu ia ki
te kupu a Tukorehu nana. Muri iho ka haere a
Honana ki Kopua, tae rawa atu kua riro a te
Kerehi; katahi ka whakamutua e ia te mahi a nga
tangata e patu witi ana, karanga ana kia huihui nga
tangata ki tetahi wahi wharuarua e tata ana ki reira.
Katahi ia (a Honana) ka riri ki te tangata nana i
arahi i a te Kerehi. Ki atu ana ia ki nga tangata
e kore e tukua e Tawhiao nga tangata a te Kawana-
tanga kia haere noa ki reira ki te kore he kupu
whakaae i puta ki, a ratou i te tuatahi; kua puta
hoki te panui a Tawhiao kia kaua tetahi Maori,
Hawhe-kaihe ranei, e arahi Pakeha ki uta; me he mea
i mate a te Kerehi, nona ano te he, no te mea kihai i
whakaae a Tawhiao ki a ia kia haere ia i taua
whenua; tetahi, kei a Honana te tikanga ki te patu,
KI te whakaora ranei, i nga Pakeha e takahi ana i
nga panui a Tawhiao. [I puta taua panui i era
marama e rua kua taha ake nei, he whakaaro no
ratou i taua wa ko te haere a te Hihana ki te Kuiti. ]
I te hokinga mai a te Kerehi, ka tutaki ia i a
Tupotahi i te ara, ka whakaari atu ia i te pukapuka
i tuhia ki a ia, ki atu ana ki tana whakaaro na
Honana taua pukapuka. Ki ana mai a Tupotahi,
" E mohio ana ahau ki te tuhituhi nei na Tukorehu. "
Katahi ia ka ui ki a te Kerehi kite take o tona haere
i haere ai ia ki reira; ki atu ana te Kerehi he " hia-
hia nona kia kite ia i te mahinga o nga mihini ki te
patu witi. " Tupotahi, " He tamariki koe, e ahuareka
ai koe ki ena mea ? Tera atu to take i haere ai
koe. " Te Kerehi, " Ae, e hiahia ana ahau kia kite
au i a Manuhiri mo te hui ki Hikurangi. " Tupo-
tahi, " Engari tena, he mea nui; me haere taua ki a
ia. " Kaore a te Kerehi i pai; katahi a Tupotahi ka
ki, "Maku e whakaatu te kainga e hui ai—ke
' Kopua. Ko te ra, kei te 16, ki ta te Pakeha tana
marama: E hoki koe ki Arekahanara. "
Kaore he tikanga e whai kupu ai matou mo tene
korero; ehara i te mea ngaro tona tikanga e kore a
e matauria e te tangata. Engari kia mohio o matou
hoa, he korero pono tonu ia.
E whakakau ana i tetahi kuao hoiho i te ngutu
awa o Nepia i tetahi rangi kua taha ake nei, katahi
ka ngaua rawatia te pakihiwi e te mango. I 1
unga ki uta ka patua taua kuao kia mate rawa
Te kau ma, rua puutu te roa o taua mango ra.
A word with respect to the forthcoming meeting
and we have done. If Sir George Grey and the
Native Minister are flattering themselves with the
hope that none but their favored reporters will be
there—men who will dress up the report of the pro-
ceedings so as to make it presentable to the House
and the country—they will be disappointed. Our
reporters will be there.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
Mr. William Grace, the young man who took
Major Mair's place in the Waikato district, and who
was " expected to work more in accord with the Na-
tives, " was driven out of the King's territories, on
the 19th February, when attempting to obtain an in-
terview with Manuhiri. Honana, having heard of
his arrival at Kopua, sent word to Tukorehu (who,
together "with Tupotahi, has charge of Kopua) to
drive him forcibly away. Tukorehu sent a written
notice to him to go, and, being for once in " accord
with the Natives, " he went. Honana afterwards
went to Kopua himself, and, finding Grace had gone,
he stopped the grain threshing which was going on,
assembled the people together in a hollow place near
at hand, and severely lectured the man who had
acted as guide to Grace. He told the people that
Tawhiao would not allow Government Agents to ga
up the country without authority; and that he had
made proclamation that no Maori or half-caste was to
guide Europeans up country; that if Grace had
come to grief it would have been his own fault, as he
went up without an order from Tawhiao; and,
lastly, that he (Honana) had power to kill or spare
Europeans transgressing those orders. [The pro-
clamation referred to was made about two months
since, when it was expected that Mr. Sheehan was
about to visit Kuiti. ]
Grace, on his way back, met Tupotahi, and showed!
him the letter he had received, stating that he sup-
posed it was from Honana. Tupotahi replied, " I
mow the writing; it is Tukorehu's. " He then en--
quired of Grace his reason for going up, to which
Grace answered that " he wished to see the machines
at work. " Tupotahi, in answer, " Are you a child,
that you are amused with such things ? You have
another reason. " Grace, " Yes, I wish to see
Manuhiri about the Hikurangi meeting. " Tupotahi,
" That is a more important matter; come, we will ga
to him. " Grace, however, refused, and Tupotahi then
said, "I will tell you the place of meeting—it is
Kopua. The day will be on the I6th (March) ac-
cording to the Pakeha calendar. Return to Alex-
andra. "
We need not say one word with respect to the
above, excepting that our readers may depend on its
accuracy. It speaks for itself.
A shark 12 feet long attacked a foal while being
swum from the eastern to western spit. It tore the
animal's right shoulder to shreds. When brought
ashore the foal was killed.

CORRESPONDENCE.
—————————«—————————
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Hikurangi, Waikato, 11th February, 1879.
FRIEND, —We greet you in our canoe (i. e. the
Waka). Persevere in (publishing) our Waka. Here
is something for you to put on board. Send our
words to the Pakehas and to the Maories; and let
them be published in the Pakeha newspapers that
the Pakehas may know our sentiments here at Hiku-
rangi. Tawhiao has this day no word of commenda-
tion for the present Government; for we have
heard that Harapepe has been gazetted for sale in
the Government Gazette. That laud is situated on
the Waipa. It was promised by Sir Donald McLean
to Tawhiao, and at Hikurangi Grey also promised
it to Tawhiao; but now the Government say that it
is to be sold by auction shortly. We say, let this
manoeuvring old babbler be turned out, together
with his infatuated Native Minister, whose chief de-
light is * * * (Here the writers favor us
with a circumstantial account of the recreations of
the Honorable John Sheehan, with a few moral re-
flections on the expenses connected therewith; but
as we have nothing to do with that honorable
gentleman's private amusements, we must decline to
publish them—it is his public actions only with
which wo have to do. )
Publish the above in the newspapers.
From WHAREKAWA. MANGU.
PAKU KOHATU,
Te RANGIKAHARURU,
and from the people of
NGATIMANIAPOTO and
WAIKATO.
The County Council of Gisborne has determined
that henceforth all Impounding Notices shall be
printed in Maori as well as in English. We offered
to publish such notices in the Waka without any
charge for translation, but were informed that they
were to be published in the Pakeha papers. It will
appear to our Maori readers, ay it does to us, that
publishing these notices in papers which, the Maories
never see, is an extraordinary method of conveying
to them information intended for their benefit. They
might as well not be published in Maori at all.
A two-wheeled conveyance has been driven by two
Pakehas, Mr. Noble and Mr. Hart, from Wairoa to
Gisborne. They started from Wairoa ou Friday the
21st February and arrived safely at Gisborne ou the
Sunday following. Mr. Noble says there is nothing
to prevent a line of coaches running between the
two places. He will probably start a conveyance to
run regularly between Wairoa and Gisborne.

Pakeha e hiahia ki te hoko i aua rakau. Ko te maha
o aua rakou i puta atu i te kau mano; ko te nunui o
te rakau te 12 putu tae ki te 24 putu; ko te roroa e
40 putu tae ki te 80 putu. Kei runga e tu ana ana,
kei raro e takoto ana; te ai he kahanga ki te tape.
Ki te mea ka pai te tangata me haere mai ki a au
patai ai i te utu mo te ratou. Ko taua whenua e
rima maero te pamamao atu i te kainga o Heki e
noho nei i Makarika; kei te taha tonu o te awa o te
Mata aua wao totara e tu ana. E kore e kaha ki te
mahi; kia kotahi te ra pu atu ki Whekenui, i te pai
o te awa hei terenga mo te rakau. No reira o aku
nei waka e hiia nei ki te ika i Aku-Aku.

PANUITANGA.
Ko ahau, ko Hepata Maitai, e panui ana kia
rongo nga Pakeha tenei te puihi rakau na matou ko
toku hapu kei Uawa e tu ana, kei roto i te reti a
Mawhi, tona ingoa ko " Tohua Puihi. " E mea ana
matou kia hokoa taua puihi. Ko ona rakau he
Kahika, he Matai, he Matai, he Pukatea, he Tawa,
me etahi atu rakau ririki iho. Ko te tangata e hia-
hia ana me haere ake ki Uawa titiro ai ki te puihi i
te tuatahi, muri iho ko te moni.
Hanuere 16, 1879. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Kua rima rau nga tangata kua tae ki te hui a
a Paora Tuhaere, no Ngapuhi, no te Rarawa, no
Kaipara, no Waikato ki waho nei. Tokorua nga
rangatira i tukua mai e Tawhiao hei whakarongo ki
nga korero. Kei te wahi raorao te hui e noho ana,
kei reira nga teneti nunui e tu ana i te wahi ruru.
E rua nga teneti nunui i wehea atu mo nga kai, me
nga wai, he mea raihana marire. Kotahi te teneti
nui mo nga manuhiri Pakeha. Ko te whare mo te
Paremete Maori i hangaia ki te paraki, papa rakau
nei—ka o te 250 tangata ki roto. He mea tapa na
Paora taua whare ko " Kohimarama; " ko te ingoa ia
o te hui a Kawana Paraone i te tau 1860. He nui
rawa te kai kua takoto mo taua hui, he mango he
whai etahi..
Tera te ana keringa waro kei Kaitangata, Otakou,
i pahu katoa ake i te ahi i te 21 o nga ra o Pepuere
nei; i mura te au mamaoa o roto. ' E toru te kau
ma rima nga tangata i mate rawa i taua pahutanga;
e 31 nga tupapaku i riro mai, i tangohia mai i roto i
nga kohatu horo i roto i taua ana, takotoru kai te
ngaro atu. Kotahi rau o ratou tamariki kua noho
pani i te ao nei. Kua tu te hui o te Pakeha o reira
ki te kimi tikanga hei oranga mo nga wahine ine nga
tamariki pani.
Kua tae mai te rongo o te paunga o nga pataka
witi me nga mihini a Tareha i te ahi. I pau ki Oma-
runui; ko Tareha i ngaro ki te Aute. E wha, e rima
ranei, nga pataka kakau witi i pau; kotahi pataka
oti kaore i patua; e whitu te kau peke kii i te witi,
me nga mihini pai rawa, e whita rau panua te ritenga o
tona atu. Kaore i mohiotia te take o taua weranga;
engari i te mahi nga Maori ki te patu witi i te mihini,
a e maharatia ana he kora no te ahi o te mihini i
wera ai.
Ko Hori Kerei Taiaroa kua Kahititia hei mema
mo te Whare ki Runga.
Kua timata nga hoia o Ruhia te hoki atu i Taki,
ka hoki ki to ratou whenua.
NOTICE.
I, Major Ropata, desire to make known that I
have totara timber for sale at Paekawa. It may be
that some Pakeha would like to purchase these trees,
of which there are probably over 30, 000. They
are very large, being from 12 feet to 24 feet in cir-
cumference, and from 40 to 80 feet in height. Some
are standing and others are lying down, which will
save the labor of cutting them down. If any person
should wish to purchase, let him come to me about
terms. The place where they are growing is about
5 miles from the residence of Mr. Haig, at Makarika.
The forest is on the banks of the river Mata, and
there is no difficulty in getting timber down the river.
The river is so good that in one day timber can be
brought to Whekenui. The timber for my fishing
canoes at Aku-Aku was obtained there.
———————4———————
NOTICE.
I, Hepata Maitai, desire to inform the Pakehas
that I, and my hapu, have a bush called the " Tohua
Bush" situate at Uawa, (Tologa Bay), on the land
leased to " Mawhi, " [Murphy (?) ] which we want
to sell. The timber consists of Kahika, Matai,
Pukatea, Tawa, and smaller trees. Any person wish-
ing to buy is invited to come to Uawa and look at
the bush first, and pay his money afterwards.
January 16, 1879.
About five hundred Natives have assembled at
Paora Tuhaere's meeting, including representatives
from Ngapuhi, Rarawa, and Kaipara tribes, and
Lower Waikato. Two chiefs have come from Hiku-
rangi to watch the proceedings for Tawhiao. The
Natives are encamped in a well sheltered flat, some
in marquees and tents. Two marquees have been
pitched for refreshment booths, for which temporary
licenses will be granted. There is a large marquee
for European visitors. A large well-lined weather-
hoard house capable of seating 250 people has been
built specially lor the Maori parliament, and Paul
christened the building Kohimarama, in memory of a
large meeting held by Governor Brown in 1860.
Immense stores of food have been prepared, includ-
ing plentiful supplies of dried shark and stingaree.
A dreadful explosion occurred in a coal mine at
Kaitangata, Otago, on the morning of the 21st of
February. Thirty-five men were killed in the
mine; thirty-one bodies were recovered, and three
were still in the mine. About 100 children have
been left fatherless. A public meeting has been
held to take steps to relieve the widows and
orphans, sufferers by the catastrophe.
News has been received of the destruction by fire
of grain stacks and machinery at Omarunui, belong-
ing to Tareha, who at the time of the accident was
absent at Te Aute. Four or five stacks of straw
were burnt, one stack of oats unthreshed, and about
seventy bags of clean grain, besides machinery, which
was the best in the province, valued at £700. The
origin of the fire is at present not known, but the
Natives were busy threshing out oats with the
machine, and it is believed that sparks from the
engine ignited the stacked straw, and thereby caused
the catastrophe.
Hori Kerei Taiaroa has been summoned to the
Upper House, and is gazetted" in Thursday's Gazette.
The withdrawal of the Russian troops from
Turkish territory has commenced,
