TURANGA, HATAREI, MAEHE 22, 1879.
E MEA ana matou kia ata whakaaro o matou hoa
Maori o Turanga nei ki te reta a te Karawhata kua
taia nei ki tetahi wahi o te nupepa nei mo te mahinga
o te " hapi. " He mano tini nga tangata e ora ana i
taua mahi i etahi whenua; a kaore he tikanga e kore
ai nga Maori o tenei wahi e whiwhi ki te rawa ma
ratou i taua mahi, ara ki te mea ka tahuri ngakau
nui ai ratou ki te whakatupu i taua mea. He mahi
takoto noa te whawhaki i nga pua hapi, he mahi
whakawhairawa ma nga tamariki tane mangere o nga
kainga Maori, e hamoemoe tonu ana i roto i te
roanga o te ra, e omaoma haere kino ana ranei i
runga i nga hoiho tuara pahore hei matenga mo
ratou ake ano, me nga tangata e ata haere ana i nga
rori. He mahi pai rawa mo te iwi Maori te whaka-
tupu hapi; ka whiwhi mahi katoa ai a ratou wahine
me a ratou tamariki ki te whawhaki i nga puawai i te
wa e whawhaki ai; a ka whiwhi ratou ki etahi mea
hei oranga mo ratou i runga i taua mahi. E tika
ana kia whakawhetai nga Maori ki a te Karawhata
mo tana mahi whakahau ki tenei mahi ahu-whenua
ki konei. Kua mea ia mana e hoko i nga hapi katoa
e mahia aua e ratou, ara ki te pai te whakamaroke-
tanga; tetahi, kua pau ana moni i te perehitanga i
nga tikanga hei ako i a ratou kia mohiotia ai te
mahinga o taua taru. E tino kaha ana ta matou
kupu kia whakaae nga ra. nga. tira Maori ki tana kupu
i ki ai kia tango ratou i tetahi Pakeha mohio ki taua
\_\_\_\_Te Waka Maori. \_\_\_\_\_\_
GISBORNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1879.
WE direct the attention of our Maori friends
of Turanga to the letter of Mr. Crawford, published
in another place, on the cultivation of the hop. This
is an industry by which thousands of Europeans in
other lands are supported; and there is no reason
why it should not become a source, of profit to the
Maories in this district if they will only apply them-
selves energetically to its culture. Picking hops
would be an easy and profitable employment for the
idle lads who do nothing but loll about the settlements,
or race about on sore-backed horses at a break-neck
speed, endangering not only their own lives and limbs,
but the lives and limbs of quiet travellers on the
public roads. The culture of the hop is an industry
well suited to the Maories; their women and children
could all find employment in picking the flowers
during the hop season, and thus contribute something
towards procuring necessaries and comforts for their
respective families. We think the Natives should be
thankful to Mr. Crawford for the efforts he has made
to encourage this industry in this district. He offers
them a ready market for what hops they produce, if
properly dried, and he has incurred considerable
expence in getting directions printed, in their own
language, for their guidance in the culture of the
plant. We strongly recommend the chiefs to follow
us advice, and engage some Pakeha, skilled in its
cultivation, to teach them how to build the kilns and

mahi hei ako i a ratou kia mohio ai ratou ki te hanga
i nga oumu me etahi atu mahi e pai ai te hapi mo te
hoko. Ki te mea ka pena ratou, heoi, kia rua kia
toru ranei tau, kua mohio ratou ki te mahi, ka tuku
i te Pakeha kia haere ana. Ki te mea ka tahuri nga-
kau nui nga Maori ki taua mahi, apopo ratou kite ai
he nui atu tona tika me tona rawa i to te mea e
karanga hui nei ratou hei whakakite i te nui o to
ratou mohio ki nga tikanga o te ture i runga i a ratou
whaikorerotanga mo o ratou mate nui i nga Pakeha
kino e kiia nei e kohuru kino ana i a ratou. Kua
kite nga Maori o Ahuriri heoi te hua o aua tu mahi
he maumau noa i ngara, he whakapau noa i te moni,
he whakapouri kau i te ngakau. Tenei te mahi pai
e noho tata ana ki a ratou e whairawa ai ratou; he

E HOA. —I tohe a Ta Tanara Makarini ki au i era
tau i mua ai kia whakahau au i nga Maori o konei
kia whakatupu ratou i te " hapi" i a ratou maara.
No muri nei naku i whakarite kia taia tuaruatia nga
korero mo te mahinga o te hapi i panuitia i mua ai i
roto i te Waka ki te reo Maori. I hoko hoki au i
nga hapi katoa i kawea mai e nga Maori ki taku
whare tahu pia. I ki atu hoki au ki nga Maori kei
to ratou mohio ki te whakatupu, ki te ata mahi hoki,
i nga hapi he tikanga e riro ai a ratou hapi i te hoko
ki te mea ka whai ratou ki nga tikanga kua perehi.
tia e au mo te mahinga o te hapi, katahi ka hokona
e au, ka utua ki te utu tika. Ko te wa tonu tenei e
whawhaki ai nga puawai; a e pouri ana ahau ki nga
mea kua kawea mai ki au e pena tonu ana te kino o
te mahinga me to mua atu o te wa i perehitia atu ai
e au nga pukapuka whakaako i te mahinga. E rua
marire nga he—ara kaore i pakari i te konakitanga,
tetahi, kaore e pukatakata ana. Kia pakari rawa
katahi ka tika kia whakiia nga puawai. I te wa
tonu ano i whawhaki ai me tuku ki te oumu nui (he
mea hanga pera me te mea i perehitia atu na), ko te
pumahutanga kia pera ano me te mea i korerotia i
mua ra i te Waka. Ki te mea ka waiho kia 5 tae ki
te 6 haora e takoto ana, ka kino, ka ngaro te kakara,
engari i te kowhakitanga ano ka tuku ai ki te oumu.
Ma te au pumatu rawa e whakamaroke. Te tikanga
e pena ai, me kauwhata kia wha putu te teitei ki
runga ake o te ahi, me hanga ki te kahu rahirahi
putaputa nei, ki te waea rino ranei pera me te ku-
penga, ki te mea huruhuru hoiho ranei, pera me te
tatari paraoa, ko te ahi me waro rakau nei. Me
horahora nga hapi ki runga ki taua kauwhata. Kia
te kau ma rua haora e tunua ana. ka maroke, katahi
ka tango i te ahi; ko nga hapi me waiho tonu kia
ngawari, muri iho ka kawea ki tahaki kia mataotao.
muri iho ka whaongia kite peeke, ka pehia kia maro.
Me maka tetahi kupapapapa, ngawhariki nei, ki te
ahi, kia iti marire. Ma reira e pai ai te tu o te hapi.
Te mea tika, me whakaako nga Maori ki te mahi
i te hapi., He taru pai rawa ia hei mahinga ma nga
Maori, me he mea e ai ana he tangata mohio hei
to do all other things required for the production of
a marketable article. If they do so, in one or two
seasons they will have acquired sufficient knowledge
of the business to enable them to dispense with his
services. If they will apply themselves to this industry
they will find it much more profitable than calling
public meetings and airing their legal acumen in
making speeches about the grievous wrongs they have
suffered at the hands of wicked Pakehas—a proceed-
ing which the Natives of Ahuriri have discovered has
resulted in nothing but loss of time, money, and
peace of mind. Here is an industry by which they
may become comparatively rich; they have a good
soil, a favourable climate, and a ready market.
They may depend upon it that industry is the sure
road to prosperity,

To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Gisborne, March 17, 1879,
SIR, —The late Sir Donald McLean urged me to
encourage the growth of the hop in the Native plan-
tations in this district. I caused a reprint to be
made of instructions for the growth of the hop which
had appeared in Maori in the Waka, and purchased
all the hops brought to the Brewery, instructing
each Native with whom I dealt that, on his know-
ledge of the art of growing and saving depended the
sale of his crop; if he wished to follow the instruc-
tions printed by me and produce a fair article I
would give him the market price. The season for
saving the hop is on just now, and I am very much
disgusted to find that the only samples offered as.
yet are as badly cultivated and cured as before I got
the instructions printed. They contain two very
grave defects, viz., are picked before being ripe and
are not thoroughly dry. The hop should not be
gathered until the seed is ripe, and should be dried
in kilns at a temperature of 119 or "120 degrees im-
mediately they are picked; for if they are left-five.
or six hours before being dried they lose their good
qualities. They should be dried by hot air being
continuously passed between them. To effect this
end they should be spread in thin layers on muslin,
or wire, or horsehair, four fact above the fire, which
should be of charcoal. It requires twelve hours at
the above temperature (119 or 120) to dry them
perfectly. When they are fired for this time the
fire should be removed, the hopa being allowed to,
remain until soft, and then put aside to cool, and,
when cool, tightly bagged. A very small quantity
of sulphur may be added to the fire when drying—it
improves the color.
I am under the impression that the Natives require
a little training in the management of the hop, and
that it would suit him admirably as a crop if he had
a practical hop culturist for a few seasons to put.

kite au i nga kupu o te Waka e ki nei i nga tikanga
e ora ai te whenua me te tangata. Kia kaha to panui
i nga tikanga mo te iwi; maku e titiro atu i konei.
Kei taka koe ki te wai, kei toremi; kia ata haere,
kei tutuki to wae, kei tu. Kei whea ra te Wananga,
i hamama ra tona waha i mua ai ? I roto i enei ra
kaore au i rongo, i tona reo. E mea ana au kei whea
ra, te rangona ? Me he mate rangatira, tera e pa-
nuitia tona matenga. Tena, ko te mate o te Waka i
hemo ake nei, i rangona ano e te iwi katoa tona
matenga. Ko Paku Kohatu te tangata i rongo au i
tukua atu tana kupu whakakino mo te Wananga.
Na, kopu tonu atu tona waha, mutu tonu atu a ia.
Kua tae ki te Kawau pea ki te atawhai ki nga manu
a tana kaumatua a Kerei ? E hoa, ka titiro koe ki
te pai o tera tangata, o Kerei, ka peke koe ki runga,
ka mate koe. Engari titiro iho ki mua i tou ara.
Na, taku kupu mo runga i ta tatou Waka. Tera

Iwiningi Ta. Ko nga korero o enei nupepa i mua,
ta ratou mahi, ia enei nupepa, he whakapai ki ta

moni ki o raua waha e Kerei raua ko te Hihana, I
roto i enei ra me te mea kua tahuri atu ki o raua
rangatira; ko te moni pea kua marere i o ratou
waha, kua tu kino hoki raua. Kua kimi i te ariki
ke atu mo raua, aua nupepa. Kua mohio pea kua
tata te ra e hoki ai taua kaumatua nei a Kerei ki te

simple. I suggest, if practicable, that the chiefs em-
ploy a good man, up to the growth and management,
tor a few years, or else send a few of their sons to
the Nelson hop-fields for a few years to become ac-
quainted with the art.
One word more. I cannot purchase hops such as
brought to me hitherto, and if some steps be not
taken to go in for the proper culture, I decidedly say
stop the growing altogether.

To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Hikurangi, 7th o March, 1879.
FRIEND, —I salute you, whose place of residence
is on that side of the island. Our Waka has arrived,
and we have read its words put forth for the bene-
fit of the people and the land. Be zealous in your
instruction of the people; we shall be observant on
this side. Be careful, lest you fall overboard and
sink; proceed cautiously, lest you strike your foot
against a stone and get wounded. Where is the
Wananga, which used io shout so loudly in times
past ? In these days we do not hear its voice—I
wonder where it is, that we hear nothing of it. If
it had died the death of a chief, its decease would
have been proclaimed abroad.. When the Waka
gave up the ghost some time ago, its death was
heard of by all the people. Paku Kohatu I heard
was one who spoke in condemnation of the Wana-
nga, but his mouth appears to be filled up, and he is
now silent. Has he gone to the Kawau to take
charge of the birds belonging to the old gentleman,
Grey ? My friend, be careful that you be not mis-
led by the fair appearance of this man, Grey, and
ally yourself to him. If you do so you are lost;
rather look straight ahead and examine the path
before you.
There is another thing I wish to notice in the
Waka. There are two newspapers in Auckland, the
Herald and the Evening Star, which have heretofore
been in the habit of sounding the praises of their
patron, Sir George Grey. Possibly Grey and
Sheehan used to put money in their mouths! Now,
however, they seem to have turned against their
patrons; the money must have dropped out of their
mouths, for they have become rebellious, They are
looking for another patron. Probably they see that
the day is not far distant when Grey will return to
the Kawau to look after his birds and animals. Or
perhaps they think he is becoming old and feeble,
and going back to the days of his childhood. (Here
follow gome remarks about the Native Minister,
which we must decline to publish).
From your
INTELLIGENT MAORI REPORTER.
[We are informed that the Wananga is not dead,
but sleeping. We understand it is about to be
awakened here at Gisborne, when its witching voice
will again be heard singing songs of deliverance for
the people. —ED. WAKA. ]
Captain Gudgeon will hold a Court at Te Awa-
nui on Thursday, the 10th April, and at Tuparoa
and Tokomaru on succeeding days if required. Per-
sons requiring summonses should apply to the
Clerk of the Court at Te Awanui and name one of
these places where they wish, their cases to be hoard.

E WHAKAPAI ANA A REWI KI NGA
REREWE.
—————»—————
Ko tenei korero waea kua taia haeretia i roto i
nga nupepa Pakeha katoa, ara: —
TAUPO, 11 o Maehe.
I kite a Rewi i nga rangatira Kingi Maori o To-
kaanu i te Parairei kua taha nei. I kaha tana korero
ki a ratou kia whakatuwheratia katoatia nga whenua,
etahi wahi ranei, hei hanganga rerewe. I nui aana
kupu mo te pai e puta mai ki te motu nei i aua tu
mahi nunui. I ki ia ki te mea ka tika nga raina
rerewe a nga kai-ruri i runga i a ratou maara
kai, (a nga Maori), ka hangai ranei i runga
i te papa o a ratou whare, kaua e whaka-
hengia, kaua e whakararua, no te mea heoi
te taonga nui io te rerewe mo nga tangata whai
whenua nui o te motu nei. Engari kaore ia i pai kia
hoko kia reti ranei ratou i te whenua ki nga Pakeha
i enei rangi. Heoi nga whenua e tukua ko nga wahi
tonu e haere ai nga rerewe. Kaore i ahua pai rawa
nga rangatira Hau-Hau ki aua korero a Manga,
engari i whakaae ratou.
[Te take i panuitia ai tenei korero waea mai o
Taupo, he mea na matou ki nga Maori e paangia ana
e taua korero kia ata rongo ratou ki te ahua o te
korero e tukua ana ki roto ki nga Pakeha o te motu
katoa e nga kai-mahi me nga turuki o enei minita.
Kaua o matou hoa e whakaaro he whakahe ta matou
ki nga rerewe, kaore; engari e whakahe ana matou
ki nga korero whakawai i te iwi nui o te Pakeha e
korerotia haeretia nei i te motu mo etahi tikanga
kaore rawa nei e kitea ana e matou he tohu e kiia ai
e mana aua tikanga—ara i runga i te ara e ahei ai
tenei Kawanatanga, tetahi atu Kawanatanga ranei,
te whakaae. He tika ano, he mea whakanui te
rerewe i te whenua, ahakoa whenua Maori, whenua
Pakeha ranei; a kia tu tetahi Kawanatanga e
whakaponohia ana e nga Maori, hei reira matou
korerotia ai nga tikanga o aua mea. ]
HAWERA, 12 o Maehe.
Tenei te korero komuhumuhu kei konei e ki ana
ka tutu etahi tangata noa iho o tenei kainga mo te
hokonga o Waimate e kiia nei kia hokona,
engari e kore nga tino rangatira e uru ki
taua mahi tutu. E nui haere ana te mana o te Whiti
i tenei tai. He nui ana tikanga e whakaputa ana e
whai mana ai ia i roto" i nga Maori, he nui hoki to
ratou whakapono ki a ia. Tona whakaaro mo te
whawhai—Tuatahi, he mea hee ia; tuarua, ehara i
te mea e ora ai te iwi. Whakataki haere ai ia i nga
whawhai katoa a nga Maori ki te Pakeha, timata i
Kororareka tae noa mai ki te mutunga, a whakaatu
ana i nga he i pa mai ki a ratou i runga i aua wha-
whai.
He nui rawa te wehi o nga korero o te mate uruta
kei Ruhia. I tetahi wahi e rua mano tangata i
paangia e taua mate, a kotahi tonu mano o ratou i ora
ake.
E ki ana tetahi nupepa o rawahi e toru mano
tangata kai-mahi hapi e tukua mai ana e te Wokera
ki tenei motu. E haere mai ana me nga kakano me
nga manga hei whakato ma ratou.
Kua puta te mate uruta ki Take. I mate katoa
nga tangata i paangia—e ruarua i ora ake. Tokoono
nga takuta i mate rawa i tetahi wahi, he mahinga na
ratou i nga turoro i mate ai ratou. Mate katoa ai
hoki te nuinga o nga tangata e mahi ana i nga turo-
ro. I etahi wahi o Ruhia i mate katoa nga tangata,
kaore he morehu.
REWI ADVOCATES RAILWAYS.
—————•—————
The following telegram has been going the rounds
of the Pakeha papers: —
TAUPO, March, 11th.
Rewi met the Kingite chiefs of Tokaanu on Friday,
and earnestly advocated the opening of the whole or
any part of the country for railways. He dwelt largely
on the advantage of such great works for this island,
and told them that if the surveyors should decide to
run the line or lines over their gardens, or even
through their houses, not to object of distrust them,
because there was no treasure so valuable to the
great land-owners of the island as railways. He, at
the same time, deprecated the leasing or selling of
large blocks of land to the Europeans at present.
All that was required was sufficient land for the
actual lines of railways themselves. The Hau-Hau
chiefs did not appear to be very enthusiastic over
Manga's propositions, but expressed assent thereto,
[We publish this Taupo telegram in order that the
Natives interested may see for themselves the nature
of the statements which are being circulated among
the European public throughout the colony by agents
and satellites of the present Ministry. We do not
wish our Natives friends to understand that we
object to the formation of railways; but we do object
to the public being misled by statements which we
do not believe, at the present time, there is the
slightest prospect of being realised—at all events on
such terms as could be accepted by any Government.
There is no doubt that railways through any district,
whether Native or European, largely enhance the
value of the land; and when a Ministry enjoying
the confidence of the Native race comes into office,
we shall have something to say to our Native friends
on these matters. ]
HAWERA, March 12th.
Vague reports are current that some few Natives
of no rank or position are intending to commit out-
rages here, in consequence of the contemplated sale
of the Waimate Plains, hut none of the chiefs will
take part. Te Whiti's influence is becoming very
great on the coast. He is using every effort to obtain
power among the Natives, and as they consider him
incorruptible they have great faith in him. His idea
of war is—First, that it is wrong; second that it is
impolitic. He reviews the history of all Native wars
with the Pakeha, from Kororareka to the last, and
shows the people how little they have gained by them,
how much they have lost.
Accounts of the plague in Russia are of an appall-
ing character. Of 2000 persons attacked in Siberia
1000 perished.
The Home News says Vogel has arranged to send
three thousand hop-pickers to the colony from Kent,
with seeds and cuttings.
The plague has appeared in Bessarabia, in Turkey.
Nearly all the patients died. Six army surgeons,
and nearly all who came into contact with the dead
had died, although disinfectants were freely used
The mortality in some infected districts of Russia
. was equal to 100 per cent. The reports received in-
dicate a feeling of consternation throughout Europe.

HE TOA TANGATA ORA TONU.
I te riringa i Peina (Spain), i te tau 1812, kotahi
te Apiha o Wi-Wi, ratou katoa ko te tohu hoia e
haere ana i a ia, i mau i nga Paniara (Spaniards).,
Katahi ka mauria e te Paniara, ka unuunuhia nga
kahu, ka whakawhaititia ratou (nga hoia o Wi-Wi i
i mau ra) i tahaki tu ai; ko te tahuritanga ki te
pupuhi—me te mea he rahui poaka e puhia ana.
Pupuhi tonu, a ka rupeke ki to whenua takoto ai—
te haerenga o nga Paniara i haere ai, he mahara
hoki kua mene katoa ki te mate. Kihai i taro e
ngaro ana ka whakaputa ake te Apiha i roto i te
tahua tupapaku; ko te haerenga atu ki tona nuinga,
tae tonu atu i taua rangi ano, me te whakamiharo
ake ki a ia ano i te kore tunga ona.
I tetahi rangi, i muri tata iho, ka mau ano taua
Apiha i tetahi rangapu Paniara ano; unuhia ana e
ratou ona kahu, tu ana ko te kiri kau; katahi ka
whakatarewatia tahanga-tonutia ki te rakau. Kihai
ano i ata iri noa ki runga ki te rakau ka puta ake
etahi o nga hoia o Wi-Wi i runga hoiho, ka patupatua
nga Paniara ki te hoari, ko etahi ki te tapahi i te
taura i mau ai te apiha ra, ka taka ia ki te whenua—
he wahi iti e takoto ana ka hoki ake te manawa, ka
ora ano.
Hua noa pea kati he mate mona; kauaka—po toru
ki muri iho ka mau ano i nga Paniara tuatahi, i te
hunga nana i pupuhi ona hoia i te maunga tuatahi, i
puta ra ia i roto i te tahua tupapaku. Mahara ana
taua hunga ra kua mate noa ia; no te kitenga e ora
tonu ana ka ponana noa iho nga whakaaro. Katahi
ka mea ratou me mea ke he matenga mona, kia kore
ai e puta ake ano tona iho ki te aomarama. He
tangata nui, uaua rawa, taua apiha; he tino toa rawa
—he maha noa atu hoki nga Paniara kua mate i a ia
i nga riringa i mua atu ra, na reira he ingoa wehi
tona ingoa ki a ratou, a, mea ana ratou me mate rawa
te taniwha ra. Heoi, mauria ana putikitia rawatia ana
nga waewae ki te harakeke, me nga ringa ki muri ki
te tuara; katahi ka kawea ka makaia ki roto ki
tetahi awa hononu i reira. Totohu tonu te tangata
ra, no te taenga ki raro ki te whenua ka rewa ake ano
ki runga. No te pueatanga ake ki runga ka

ta ratou tangata. No te pahemotanga atu ki tawhiti,
ka ngaro atu i nga Paniara, katahi ka okeoke te
tangata; ka kukume i ona ringa; ka whakauaua tonu
ki te whakamatara i ona waewae me ona ringa ano;
kukume tonu, whakawiri tonu, nawai ra ka taea—ka
matara ona ringa me ona wawae. Katahi ka kau ki
uta—inanoa kua tae ki ona hoa, kai te korero i tona
putanga i te mate. Heoi, karangatia ana e ona hoa
he ingoa mona ko TOA ORA TONU—inahoki he tangata
ia kua puhia, kua whakatarewatia, kua makaia ki ro
te wai, te mate hoki.
TE TAKIWA TAPAHANGA WITI. —He korero tenei i
tuhia mai e tetahi tangata i Ingarani ki te "Taima"
nupepa kei Otakou, ara: —"He ritenga hou tenei na
tetahi tangata mahi paamu o konei; ara tapahi wawe

ahakoa matomato i runga. Ka peneitia te tikanga
ka nui te kakano, ka pakari, ka taumaha, nui atu i

Katahi ka whakamatau etahi tangata paamu i taua
tikanga, " a whakamiharo katoa ana ratou ki te pai:
Ma etahi tangata paamu o to koroni pea e whakamatau

THE IMPERISHABLE HERO.
During the campaign in Spain, in the year 1812, a
French officer and the detachment under his command
were taken prisoners by the Guerillas, who stripped
the unfortunate men, placed them in ranks, and fired
at them as if they had been a herd of swine. The
prisoners having all fallen to the ground, the Guerillas
quitted the spot in the assurance that every one of
them was killed; but scarcely were the Spaniards out
of sight before the officer extricated himself from the
dead bodies and regained the army the same day, con-
gratulating himself on having escaped from the hands
of his enemies without the slightest wound.
I
Shortly afterwards this unlucky officer had the mis-
fortune to be captured by another party of Guerillas,
who stripped him stark naked and hanged him on a
tree. The poor victim had been suspended but a few
seconds, when some French dragoons galloped up,
dispersed the Spaniards, and quickly cut down the
officer, to whom animation was soon restored.
A third time was this resuscitated soldier doomed
to be made a prisoner; and, to add to his bad luck,
by the self-same party that had, as they imagined,
shot him a few days before. Great was the astonish-
ment of the Guerillas at finding alive and unhurt the
man whom they perfectly remembered by the insignia
of his rank and his herculean form. After stripping
him in their customary manner, they decided on a
mode of death that they conceived would rid them for
ever of the murderous effect of his sabre, too well
known to the Spanish army; they therefore bound
firmly with strong cord his feet and hands, the latter be-
hind his back, and in this state plunged him into a
deep river running in that vicinity. The victim,
after striking the ground, though considerably
stunned, returned naturally to the surface, and al-
lowed himself to be floated away by the current,
preserving the appearance of a dead body, but anxi-
ously watching his enemies, who, from shore, endea-
voured to make sure of his death. He thus continued
to float for a considerable time, until at length, being
entirely out of sight of the Guerillas, he strove to
release himself from the bandages. This was no easy
task, the water having swelled and tightened the
knots. By dint of perseverance and strength however,
he at last contrived to clear himself, swam to the
shore, and in a short time afterwards, merrily related
to his comrades his third adventure, which fairly en-
titled him to the appellation of " The Imperishable
Hero, " he being an extraordinary instance of a man
shot, hanged, drowned, and yet alive. •
THE TIME To CUT WHEAT. — The London
correspondent of the Otago Daily Times writes: —
A new plan, the practice of a local agriculturist, is
being tried with great success near Newmarket, and
consists in cutting wheat before the ordinarily ac-
cepted time. Mr. Byson, the farmer in question, cuts
his so soon as the straw looks dead at the bottom,
even while it is green above. The grain is fuller.
firmer, and heaver than when mown in its golden
condition. Since the secret became known, other
farmers have tried the idea, and all are surprised at
the beneficial results. This useful hint may be of
service to some of your readers who will be preparing
for their own harvest after Christmas.

Kua rongo matou ka tauwhainga a Henare Potae
ki a Wi Pere i te pootitanga mema amua ake nei hei
whakakapi i te turanga o Karaitiana i te Paremete.

THE PLAGUE IN RUSSIA.
The plague caused a general panic in Astrakhan
and Saratov. A correspondent of the Globe writes
that the plague commenced in a village in the district
of Enovtaievsk. The disease was mistaken for typhus,
but when the" weather became warmer the people
died like flies, and the dead lay unburied in the
streets. On January I0th the plague had reached
Earatovin. At Naratzin 183 deaths occurred. The
mortality is estimated at 10 per cent, of the popula-
tion. The plague at Astrakhan is assuming serious
proportions, and there were four hundred deaths
from the disease up to January 4th.
Germany is prepared to mobilise 80, 000 men for
the purpose of establishing a sanitary cordon along
her Russian frontier to prevent the introduction of
the plague.
NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given to all persons interested in
Whakoau, portion of Pipiwhakao, that Native Com-
mittees for the investigation of titles to the said block
will meet at Oweta on the 15th of April next—the
Committee of twelve, and the three Committees of
Mahaki, Rongowhakaata, and Ngaitahupo, Any
persons having objections to make are warned not to
disregard this notice. The land was included in the
survey of Pipiwhakao.
This notice is given by authority of the people.
RUTENE AHUNUKU.
We understand that Henare Potae intends to
come forward in opposition to Wi Pere, as a candi-
date for the seat in Parliament vacated by the death
of Karaitiana, M. H. R. We do not think Wi Pere
will stand much chance against him. We shall have
something to say on this subject when the proper
time comes.
