tahi a aua Mema Pakeha ki nga Mema Maori i te
Paremata. A ma aua Mema Pakeha e tautoko nga
mahi a aua Mema Maori hei pai ma nga iwi katoa.
Otiia ma te Maori ano e ata mahi marire he tikanga
tika, hei ara atu mo te hia hia a nga iwi Maori e puta
tika ai ki te Paremata. Ki te mea e kore te Maori e
ata mahi i s ratou whakaaro kia marama, mo nga mea
e mahia e te Maori kia whakaaetia e te Paremata mo
nga iwi Maori, penei e kore ano hoki nga Mema
Pakeha e kaha, i te mea hoki, e kore e tino mohiotia
e aua Mema Pakeha nga mea a te Maori e tono nei
kia mahia kia tika, Koia i kiia ai, he mea pai kia
hui hui nga iwi Maori, kia penei me nga hui i Omahu
me Taupo, kia korero ai nga iwi Maori i a ratou
whakaaro, a kia mohiotia ai te hiahia a te iwi nui
tonu. A koia hoki te take i mahia ai te Nupepa nei
TE WANANGA, he mea hoki na TE WANANGA, mana e
korero nga rongo korero katoa o enei motu e uta ana
ki nga iwi Maori. He mea hoki i mahi pera ai TE
WANANGA, kei noho kuare te iwi Maori ki nga mahi
e mahia ana i te ao nei. A kia mohio ai ano hoki nga
iwi Maori ki nga naahi a te Pakeha e mahi ai ki te
iwi Maori. He kupu ako atu tenei ki a matou hoa
Maori, kia noho tupato koutou ki nga naahi a te hunga
e mea nei kia whakakahoretia TE WANANGA. He
Maori etahi, he Pakeha etahi, e mea ana kia purua te
mangai o TE WANANGA, kia kore ai he kupu ako a TE
WAHANGA i te iwi Maori. E hara aua tangata, i te
tangata aroha ki te iwi, he tangata aua tangata, e
rapu ana i te pouri kia taami i te iwi Maori katoa.
He mea hoki na taua hunga kia noho kuare te Maori.
a kia puta nga nui me nga taonga a te iwi kia ratou
anake, ki aua tangata e whakahe nei ki TE WANANGA
A he mea ano hoki na aua tangata kia riro nga whenua
a te Maori ma ratou, a kia iti nei he utu mo aua
whenua ki te Maori e riro ai ano hoki i te mahi nuka-
rau aua whenua i aua tangata. He tika ano ia nei, i
riro nga whenua a te Maori i te utu iti. a i te mahi
tinihanga i nga tau kua pahure nei. A kei te mina-
mina tonu ana tu tangata kia mau tonu taua mahi utu
iti, me te mahi maminga a aua tangata, a kia kaua te
Maori e akona kia marama, kia kore he ako a TE
WANANGA i te iwi, kia tika ai te mahi, kia marama ai
te iwi ki nga nukarau, me nga he e mahia ana ki te
iwi Maori e aua tu tangata. Ki te mea ka hiahia te i
Maori ki te Rihi ranei, ki te hoko ranei i a ratou
whenua, e pai ana, kaua e purua te hiahia pera a te
Maori. Waiho te Maori kia rihi kia huku i te
whenua, kia puta tika ai he utu tika mo a
ratou whenua. Ta matou e whakahe nei, waiho rawa
ka te Kawanatanga, me te Tari Maori hei puru, hei
whakararu i aua tikanga. E hara taua mahi vvhaka-
raru i aua tikanga hoko me te rihi i nga whenua o te
Maori i te mea, he hiahia na aua kai whakararuraru,
He puta he utu nui, he utu pai ki nga Maori mo a
ratou whenua. Kahore, engari he mea na aua kai
whakararu kia riro ai he whenua utu iti ma a ratou
hoa ma nga kai mahi a Te Kawanatanga, me te Tari
Maori. He mea hoki kia raru ai te Maori, a kia kaua
aua kai whakararu e hoko tika i te whenua, kia riro ai
ia ratou ki te uta pai, ki te uta tika. Kaua te iwi
Maori e mea, he take aha te take e mahi nei matou.
lie rapu na matou kia puta atu ia matou ki nga iwi
Maori, ko te pai, ko te tika anake. He pai kia
panuitia e Te WANANGA, nga mea e hengia aua e nga
iwi Maori. A e mea aua ano matou, e tautoko ana
matou i te Maori, ki te mahi i nga mea hei pai anake
mo nga iwi Maori. A e mea atu ana matou, ki nga
Maori kua aro atu a ratou takinga ki nga korero a te
hunga e naahi whakahe nei kia matou, a ki aua Maori
nei ano hoki, o te ra i timata ai te mahi a Te WANA-
NGA, e hara ranei ta matou mahi, i te mahi tika, i te
mahi, kia puta ai he tika he ora ki nga iwi Maori
katoa, a ki nga iwi Pakeha katoa. He kupu, aua
kupu nei na matou ki nga iwi Maori he mea hoki,
kua, tata te ra e tu ai ano te Paremata, a kia tu te
Paremata, ka korerotia ano nga korero o nga whenua
Maori, me ngu mahi nui katoa e pa ana ki nga iwi
Maori. A e mea ana matou, kia tino mohio pu
matou, ki nga tino whakaaro a nga iwi Maori. A
ma nga tino Rangatira Maori, me nga tino tangata
mohio o nga iwi Maori enei tikanga e whakahaere,
kia kotahi ai to whakaaro a nga iwi Maori. E mea
ana matou, a nga ra e tu ai te Paremata, ka tukua
mai nga korero o taua Paremata, ia wiki iu wiki ki
TE WANANGA nei. kia mahia e matou ki te WANANGA
nei, kia mohio ai nga iwi Maori ki nga mea e mahia
ana o Te Paremata mo te taha Maori. Koia matou i
mea ai, ma nga Rangatira Maori, e mahi, e kia kaha
ta ratou mahi i te iwi, kia tango nui te iwi i ta tatou
nupepa i TE WANANGA, kia tae ai nga, rongo o Te
Paremata ana taia e matou, ki te ao katoa, a kia kite
ai te iwi katoa i nga korero o te Paremata mo nga
mahi e uta ana ki nga iwi Maori. A kia ako mai nga
iwi Maori i nga mohiotanga e mana ai nga tikanga e
akoako nei matou i nga korero nei.

SATURDAY, APRIL 14 1877.
IT is of great importance to the Native race that they
should be united in all questions which, interest them all
equally. The Acts of Parliament in relation to Native
lands, Native Courts, Native Representation, and such
things should be carefully examined and thought over
by all the tribes. The Natives have many friends in
Parliament who will gladly work with the Native
members im these matters : but it is necessary that
the Maoris themselves should mark out one straight
path in which to work, otherwise their European
friends will not be able to speak with weight and
strength in their behalf. It is therefore a good thing
that the Maoris should meet together as at Omahu
and Taupo in order to talk together and find out the
common desire of all. It is for a similar purpose that
the WANANGA exists. We wish, always to tell the
different tribes what is being said and done in New
Zealand respecting the Natives, so that they may not
be ignorant of what is going on among the Europeans
in relation to themselves. We would, warn our
Maori friends against the efforts of those who wish.
to see the WANANGA destroyed. There are many
Europeans and some Maoris who would like to stop
the mouth, of the WANANGA. These people do not
wish, for the welfare of the Native Race. They are

NGA RONGO KORERO.
HE MAWHAI PUNGA WEREWERE. I HANGAA
HEI KAKAHU.
Na te Eparihi (ara te wahine o te Epara) o Parahira
(he whenua kei Amereka ki te Tango) i hoatu ho kakahu
kia Kuini Wikitoria, a kahore kau he kakahu o te ao katoa
nei hei rite ki taua kakaha. He mawhaiwhai pungawere-
were taua kakahu. He mea whatu te mawhaiwhai punga-
werewere e taua iwi hei kakahu, a he tino kakahu pai, he
pai rawa atu ano hoki te ahua, nua tirohia atu o to
kanohi. £ kore rawa to kakahu Hiraka e rite ki taua
kakahu. He tu ke ano to taua kahu, a koia anake ano to
rite ki aia. He kore noaiho to ahua pai o te Hiraka ki te
pai o taua kahu. Heiaha koa te pai, e koro e taea te mai
e te iwi he kahu pera ma ratou. He whakapai kupu kau
atu, ko te riro mai o te kaha pera ma te iwi e kore. He
nui noa atu te mahi a etahi iwi o te ao nei ki te mahi i te
Mawhaiwhai Pungawerewere hei kakahu, a kihai noake i
taea. No te tau 1710 i mahia ai e nga Paniora, (nga iwi
o Peina) te tahi kakahu, a na taua kahu i kitea ai, kia
700,000 (e whitu rau mano,) whare pungawerewere, e oti
ai he kakahu kotahi. He mahi ano i mahia e nga Paniora
mo aua mawhaiwhai pungawerewere, a i oti ano he tokena
mo nga waewai o te te tangata, me nga karawha, mo nga
ringa ringa. otiia he tino nui mo te mahi e oti ai aua mea
iti nei i mahue ai te mahi i ora. A ahakoa, he nui whaka
harahara te utu i utua ai aua tokena waewae, i hanga nei
i te mawhaiwhai pungawerewere, kihai i tohea taua mahi
A DRESS OF SPIDERS' WEBS.
The Empress of Brazil has presented the Queen of
England with a dress, the equal of which has never been
seen. It is woven of spiders' webs, and is. as may be
imagined, a work of art as regards quality and beauty.
The handsomest silk dress cannot compare with it ; but it
can only be admired, hardly imitated. There have
already been many attempts to make use of the threads
spun by spiders, but up to the present the experiments
have not been satisfactory enough to encourage any fur-
ther efforts in this direction. In the year 1710 it was
discovered that to make a piece of silk it would require
the web of 700.000 spiders. The Spaniards had already
tried to use the spiders' threads, and make gloves, stock-
ings, and other articles of the sort : but even these wero
so troublesome, and yielded so little profit, that in spite of
the prices paid, they were obliged to abandon the
trade. In certain parts of South America garments made
of these threads are worn : but the spiders in these lands
are unusually large. It is likely that the above-men-
tioned dress was made of the threads of the smaller
species of the American spider. There is, therefore, some
hope that the time is not far distant when, thanks to the
progress of modern industry, fashionable ladies may have
the satisfaction of wearing elegant silks of the same deli-
cate texture.
HE PARAU HOU, E TORU ANA WAHI
WHENUA E HURI AI I TE HURIHANGA
KOTAHI.
Kua nui noa atu te mihi a te Pakeha o Ingarangi
ki te mahi a tetahi parau, he parau e huri ana i nga
wahi whenua e toru i te hurihanga kotahi. He hoiho
nga kai too o taua parau. E toru awa-awa e puare
ana i taua parau nei i te mahinga kotahi. Tena e nui
he ora a te Pakeha, me nga tangata o nga mano whe-
nua, i te mea hoki he nui ke te whenua e keria ana e
taua parau nei i te whenua e oti ana i te parau
tawhito. Ahakoa e wha kau ranei: e rua hoiho ranei
e too ai i te parau tawhito, a ko aua kau ra ano, ko
aua hoiho ra ano hei too i te parau hou nei e tino nui
rawa atu te whenua o oti te parau i to parau hou nei
i te whenua, o huri i to parau tawhito. He tini noa
atu nga tau i mahia ai taua parau nei. otiia, kihai i
rangona, e te tini. A katahi noi, no te wa e ngaki
nui ana nga iwi o nga tini whenua o Tawahi, ka
rangona taua parau nei. kua mea rawa nga tini Pakeha
o Ingarangi ki te pai o taua parau, a kua manaaki te
iwi katoa ki taua parau, kua tino whaka matamatauria
taua parau nei i nga mahi whakataetae ki te mahi parau
a te iwi. a ko taua parau mata-toru te mea i kiia i
pahika ke ake tona pai i te pai o nga parau katoa.
! A e ki ana nga Pakeha mohio ki te ngaki Paama, e
kore e roa. ko te parau tenei e tino mahia e te Iwi, i
te mea he nui no te whenua e pau ana i aia te mahi,
a ma reira e nui ai he whenua maara witi, a e ahua
iti te uaua a te kai mahi, e nui te whenua e oti i taua
parau te nahi,

A TRIPLE PLOUGH.
IN the old country, to economise labour, a new triple
plough draw by horses is exciting alteration. This
simple and effective implement ploughs up three fur-
rows and is likely to prove very valuable, not only in
England, where labour is dear, but in other countries
where, with variable climate, large tracts of land have
to be ploughed up quickly by horses or oxen. The
double plough, which cuts two furrows at once, is not,
however, as many suppose a modern implement, it
having been in use so long as the middle of last
century. It is only during the last few years that the
double plough has been used to any great extent in
England, while in many other countries, where im-
mense tracks at virgin are brought under cultiva-
tion every year, it is competitively an unknown im-
plement. This is the more surprising when it is con-
sidered that one man with three horses can, with a
double plough, do as ranch work as two men. using
two single ploughs and four horses, thus ensuring a
saving of at least one-thirl during each working day.
so that double ploughs, us many farmers in the mother
country have practically demonstrated, soon pay for
themselves by the economy they effect in labor and
horses. In England, the various Agricultural Socio-
ties are fully alive to the importance of this matter,
and thus we see that at their annual ploughing
matches several of the must important prizes are
allotted to classes in which double ploughs only are
allowed to compete. By the mail just in, we have
received a report of the last of these competitions for
1876, which took place in December, at Cottenham.
near Cambridge. It is said to have been not only
the last, but the largest match in the kingdom. No
fewer than 23 teams entered the field, and every one
of them was under the management of local plough-
men only. The test was therefore looked upon as a
fair and genuine one, professional ploughmen, that
is, ploughmakers' men with trained horses and racing
ploughs, being excluded. The ploughs were by
Hornsby Howard, and Ransome, and the match ex-
cited wide-spread interest. After the public dinner.
at which there was a large gathering, it was announced
that all the first and second przes were won with the
Howard plough. Next year we may have to report
that the new triple plough has so far advanced in the
old country, that as the double is superseding the
single, so the triple will supplant the double.

TOBACCO CULTURE.
As soon as the young plants are well established in
the field every attention should be given to loosening
the soil, and keeping down the weeds. Experience
has proved that only soil that is open and free from
weeds will fully develop the plants. Loosening and
stirring the soil from time to time is therefore not
only beneficial but necessary, especially where the soil
is hardened by heavy rains, or a crust has formed
through other influences when weeds appear. The
soil must never be worked while wet. Where help
is plenty it is better to dispense with all horse work.
The plants can be put closer together, a large crop is
gained, less damage is done to the plants, and iu
closing up the accounts the cultivator with manual
labour will not be the loser. Care must always be
taken not to damage the roots, and at the second, and
especially the third hoeing, the soil must be drawn
towards the plants, partly to protect them against
storms and give them a stronger hold, and partly to
absorb excessive moisture.
The tobacco having got up ten or twelve inches
high, look out for the green worm, which eats the
leaves. They are often found earlier. You will see
a small round hole, oftimes no larger than a pin-hole,
in the leaf: if you turn it up you will be very apt to
S
discover on the under side a small worm of the dia-
meter of a common thread needle. and half an inch in
length ; kill him, and all his kind, for if left he will
grow to the size and length of your finger. an<l would
not make much of a breakfast of a third of a full-
grown leaf. These worms are hatched from eggs de
posited by what is called the tobacco fly. It is a large
dusky brown-winged miller. The eggs will hatch out
in twenty-four hours. Look out and destroy these
eggs ; they will generally be found on the other side
of the leaf, and near the edge. Much of the value of
the crop depends oa the care and attention in perform-
ing this part of the work. The plantation, therefore.
should be gone over carefully at least twice a week.
. The next important object to attend to is pruning,
which, means breaking off the leaves that come out
too near the ground, which, when large, lie flat on it.
and therefore rot or get dusty. This work should be
done early—the sooner the better, so that the plant
does not loose much strength through their growing.
These leaves must not be torn off, especially not
downward, because the plant would be injured : and
instead of throwing the strength gained into the other
leaves, it would be thrown away to heal the wound.
The distance from the ground this pruning should
be done depends upon the variety grown.
and upon the time at which, the work
is done.; four te six inches is the right distance.
Pruning ia not done by everyone ; one farmer may
practice it, while his neighbour does not. The latter
may sort the lower leaves separately, and sell them as
""lugs," so called, for which he gets about half the
price of the upper leaves. Those who do not prune
must top lower, or they must run the risk that the
whole plant, or at least the upper leaves, will not
mature fully. But I would strongly recommend that
all plants be pruned. After this conies topping ; this
is done to throw the strength, which would go to de-
velop seeds into the leaves. It therefore must be
done as early as the seed-buds show themselves, if
not earlier. This work must be done ; and the ques-
tion is, how to do it ? If there are but few leaves on
the plant, even these will not ripen if it is not topped ;
if there are many, then the grower has the choice
either to break off the flower stalk only, or to take off
some of the top leaves also. This should be done in
answer to the question: 1st, Is there time enough
before the sun loses power to ripen even the upper
leaves fully ? 2nd. Is the plant and soil strong
enough to ripen all the leaves, even the upper ones ?
The answers to these queries will decide the way of
topping. If yes, take off the flower stalk, with a few
of the top leaves. If no, top to eight, ten. twelve or
fourteen leaves, according to your judgment ; that is,
allow so many leaves to remain on the plant. As a
general rule, a plant just in blossom should be topped
down to where the leaves are fully seven inches wide,
leaving on the stalk from twelve to fourteen leaves.
If the tobacco is planted late in the season, it must
be topped as soon as the flower buds appear, and down
it eight or ten leaves. Here will be seen the impor-
tance and benefit, of starting the plants early from.
seed. One plant will furnish seed enough, to put out
five acres at least These should be wormed and
suckered like the rest. As I have mentioned the
term of suckering, I may here explain that as soon as
the top is broken off the sap is thrown into the leaves,
causing them to expand rapidly, and to cause, in about
a week's time, an auxiliary branch to shoot out at the
junction of the leaves to the stalk. These must be
pinched off, or the growth of the leaves will be
checked, as the sap will be thrown into these young
sprouts. This is one of the tiresome operations of
tobacco culture, for these suckers do not all appear at
the same time. They first come out at the lower
leaves, then at the middle, and lastly at the top
leaves : others will push out after the first have been
removed They demand, the planter's whole atten-
tion, and should be looked over every other day.
They should not be pinched off while the dew is on
the loaves. While you are doing this look out for
the worms : you will find them, best towards evening,
as they lie concealed during the heat of the day.
Great care should be taken not to break the leaves, as
they are nearly all wasted before the crop is ripe.
Suckering and worming will occupy the time until the
crop is ready for harvesting; and on the attention pa;d
to this part of the work will depend in a groat mea-
sure the quantity and quality of the tobacco. The
surface should be kept in good order by an occasional
i hoeing. Pruning, topping, or suckering must not be
done during rain or when the dew is on the plants, or
they will get rust spots, which will get larger every
day, and at last destroy the whole leaf.—Melbourne

NOTES ON NEW ZEALAND.
Ma. G. HUNTER, M.H.R., of Wellington, in his ad-
dress to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce at its
meeting on Wednesday, March 28, in a speech, de-
livered by him as deputy-chairman :—In regard to
the population of New Zealand, he said, " On the 31st
December, l875, the total population was 375,856,
made of 213,294 males and 162,562 females. Of
course the Blue Book of 1876 is not out yet, but I
have good reason to believe that when it appears it
will be seen that our population wilt be over 400,000,
showing an increase of something like 25,000. The
births for 1875 were 14.438, and in 1876 16,168,
while the deaths for these two years were 5712 and
4904 respectively, consequently there was a large
natural increase, as there were 1730 more births and
808 fewer deaths in 1876 than in the previous year."
There are very few, if any, countries in the world, we
venture to say, that could show more satisfactory
returns under this heading than the above. We have
not only the actual large natural increase to note, but
also the accelerated rate of increase from year to year.
Coming to another subject—the wool exports—he
says, " In 1872 the exports of wool for the whole
colony were 103,000 bales; 1873. 117,500 bales:
increase on the year, 14,000 : 1874, I39.400 bales ;
increase on the year, 21,009 bales ; 1875. 151,300
increase, 11,900 bales ; 1876, 163.600 bales : increase
oa the year, 12,500 bales ; total increase during the
four years, 60,800 bales. These figures are eminently
satisfactory, and it is pleasing to know that they are
admitted at Home, in a circular, dated 4th of De-
cember, issued by Messrs. Dalgety, DuCroz, and Co.,
it is slated that the increase of wool production in the
colony for the last four years is about 60 per cent.
Assuming this wool to have been worth £18 per bale,
the value of the increase is represented by £ 1,094,000,
and I need not tell those acquainted with the charac-
ter of the country that as the colony becomes improved
the production of wool will continue to increase, for
the land will carry a much larger amount of stock
than is at present placed upon it. A good deal has
been said about a probable large falling off in the
Customs returns at the close of the financial year.
Mr. Hunter, however, computes that up to the end of
the December quarter, the diminution on the esti-
mated revenue did not much exceed £11,000. He
goes on to say :—" This quarter's account is not yet
made up, but I believe it compares favourably with
its predecessors, so that persons who say there has
been m large falling off in the Customs revenue are
sourcely warranted in making such statements. The
results for the past two quarters may be summed up
and compared as follows :—Quarter ending September
80, 1876, £812,472 ; quarter ending September 30,
1876, £808,430 ; quarter ending December 31, 1875,
£208,608; quarter ending December 31, 1876.
£294,128; quarter ending March 31, 1876, £317,744."
Coming to the subject of railways, he observes: —
" The estimate of receipts from colonial railways for
12 months was £132,200, and from provincial rail-
ways £212,800, giving a total of £345,000. The
actual receipts for colonial lines for six months have
been £42,891, and for provincial lines £166,666.
This is considerably under the estimate, but it must
be borne in mind that the past six months of the
financial year, from June to December, are the least
productive. Wool, grain, and other articles come to
hand freely during the months of January, February,
and March*. The profit was estimated at £84,241 ;
according to the present average it has only reached
£63-458, showing a deficiency of £20,783 ; but in all
probability this will be made up during the last half
of the financial year, say, between January and June."
In regard to the revenue under certain other heads,
he says :—•' The stamp and postal revenue shows an
increase, and so do the land sales. The revenue under
this latter head was estimated to reach £647,000, but
some days ago the receipts had reached £654,000, and
it is quite expected they will come up to £1,000,000.
The gold revenue I have already dealt with, but no
doubt the effect of the late successes ia the North will
lead to a large increase. Mr. Hunter's speech may be
looked upon almost as an extra Parliamentary Finan-
cial Statement, and one made to a much more critical
audience than the House of Representatives. It ia
worth while to give publicity to his figures, as such
persistent and assiduous attempts have been made,
and are still being made continually to place the com-
mercial position of the colony in an unfavorably light
in the eyes of the English public.—Hawke's Bay
Herald.

Kawanatanga ki te maha he Mema Maori ki roto o te
Paremata. He pai rawa kia maha nga Mema, kaore hoki
to tatou Mema kotahi e kaha ki te pikau i nga mea katoa
ki te whare. Ma te tokomaha o nga Mema mo tatou ka
oti ai nga mea katoa a nga iwi. He. pohara au, engari e i
kore au e riro i te moni a te Kawanatanga. i
Meihana Takihi. E tika aua me hoki katoa nga take
korero o te hui i Pakowhai ki te Paremata kaua e mahue, !
me te mahi atu ano i etahi tikanga. !
Pirimona. Ko te kupu ra e hara taku Toa i te Toa taki ;
tahi, na te tokohira taku Toa. Ko ta Renata e ki ana. he !
tika tonu tena, mehemea hoki ki te Pootitia e te hui nei.
ko tera he Mema, ka whakaae tonu au, kowai hoki te mea
whai moni.
Noa Huke. Kua ki au e whakaae ana au ki nga Mema
kia tokomaha, mo te kupu a Renata, ki taku whakaaro,
ko te mate o to Motu he moni ma nga Mema.
Hori Te Huki : Pai noa atu tatou ki te Pooti, no te mea
kua Pooti tatou i mua, a e pai ana to tatou Pooti ano, me
tono tatou.
Paora Kaiwhata : Tenei taku titiro iho mo nga tikanga
korero nei. mehemea nei he whakaae anake mo ta Renata
e korero nei, e tika ana, mehemea ka whakaaetia ki te
pera, ka mea ano au me huihui mai ano, ki te marae nga
iwi katoa, e hara hoki i te mea he mohio, ka maua tonu
mai a tatou tono, kao, engari, me tono tonu, ko te rarangi
tuatahi, he whakahou i to tatou pai hei ra ano tatou i te
inana o Te Kuini, e mohio ana tatou ki te whiriwhiri i
tenei, ko to tatou ingoa inaianei he Kawanatanga, he
tangata na Te Kuini. Engari he aha ra e koro ai e ora
enei nga mate, e kore ai e araia e te mana o Te Kuini,
koia nei nga mate e kiia nei e te tangata, me
mutu te Ruuri, me mutu te Kooti. Na, enei mate hoki i
meatia ai enei rarangi tua 4 tua 5. me etahi atu, he mea
ki ora ai tatou. He tono enei na tatou i nga kai mahi o
te mana o te Kuini ki a whakahoutia nga era mo tatou,
kua kiia hoki he tinana kotahi he mana kotahi. Kua mate
a Te Makarini te tangata mahi mai i nga Ture i mate ai
tatou. Na ko tenei he Kawanatanga hou tenei, me tono
tatou kia homai he Ture ora mo tatou, kei runga i o tatou
mamae enei tono e haere ana, kia homai he Ture e ora ai
tatou, kia whakatokomahatia atu he hua mo to tatou Mema.
Kua mate a te Makarini, me tono tatou ki te Kawanatanga
hou. E rapu ana hoki tatou i tetahi kai e ora ai tatou ki
te kakari ki te aha ki te aha. Ma te kai hoki kaora ai
tatou ki nga mahi. Koia ka tono tatou kia whakahoutia
he Ture mo tatou. E tono ana tatou i o tatou mahara kia
whakamanaa mai e te Kawanatanga. Ko te rua nei tenei o
nga Maehe, a e tono nei tatou hei mahi tonu tenei ma
tatou a ia Maehe a ia Maehe, kia rite mai rano a tatou
tono ka tahi kamutu.
THE NATIVE MEETING AT OMAHU.
———*———
OMAHU, March 10 1877.
(Continuation).
Karauria said : We have already sent our member
Karaitiana to Parliament last year, and I know that we
have half of the Parliament (we have Maori members in
the Parliament), and I also say, let us have more mem-
bers in the Parliament. I also know something about
elections, and that the members do go astray (do not re-
present us), and whose acts are condemned by us. I ask,
why do you sit still ? Perhaps yon may wish to sneer at
the one member. It is the Parliament which does the
barm to us. Let us all go to the Parliament, so that if we
are defeated it will be the whole people who are killed,
Waka Kawatini said : I shall speak as an old Maori.
I do not say that we shall be defeated. We now have a
Parliament of our own, and we have a newspaper of our
own called TE WANANGA. Let our newspaper convey oar
thoughts to the Parliament. Are not our European com-
positors printing our thoughts ? Let us now act, and let
our European printers print our words. We are not yet
pat out of existence. We will continue to act till Here-
taunga is recovered by Mr. Sheehan. It was our exces-
sive desire for money and the deceit of the Europeans
which killed us.
The Chairman then explained the fourth subject, which
was put to the meeting.
Hori Te Huki said. I rise to speak on the subject now
before this meeting. The words spoken at the Pakowhai
meeting are the same as now. I say let the laws which
i were spoken of yesterday be the only laws for us for the
present. And when those have been confirmed we can
i propose others. We agreed to two words at that time.
I That after the laws we propose to be passed are agreed
to, we should propose others. That is very good, but I
think that we should wait till those we have proposed be
agreed to before we propose other laws. I have one
word about the members. I think it will be good to have
more members, even as many as the Europeans. But I
do not propose that we should have as many Maori mem-
bers as there are European members now: I propose that
the present Maori members keep their present seats till
the time for which they were elected expires, then we
can elect more members for us (the Maori tribes). I will
not speak about any other Maori member to represent us.
I am satisfied with Karaitiana. Let other districts pro-
pose some of the people to represent them in Parliament.
Petera Rangihiroa said, in regard to that word which
asks for a permanent law, I say, in regard to that, let the
expressed wish of the meeting at Pakowhai be agreed to
by the Parliament, we can then propose to vote for other
Maori members for us.
Pita Koana said, when the present Maori members have
ceased to be members then we can vote for new members.
Noa Huke said, I will say a short word. We are asking
of the Government : and we put forth a request, if
granted, good : if we do not obtain what we ask. we can
ask again.
Henare Matua said, I say that our requests carry weight.
When we send our requests, some of the Maori members
who have gone over to the Government side may rise and
object to them, but some of the European members will
rise to assist us. And in the last session of Parliament
some of the requests made by us were agreed to by the
Parliament, so that we can again make our request. We
are objecting to the Government, but if our requests are

TE WANANGA
sanctioned by the Government we shall know that th
present Government is a good one : if they do not grant
our request, we can object to them and try to put them
out. Some of our requests have been granted, viz., the
Native Lands Court, and the Native Land Laws have been
agreed to be abolished, and that new laws be made. We
must continue to ask, and perhaps we shall obtain what i
we ask. It is not right that we should have only one
Maori member for the Maori public, which consists of ten
thousand population. And let tins be a subject which i
this meeting must continually urge. If we should suc-
ceed in obtaining many Maori members, let a law be
passed to secure the right for those members to hold
those seats continually, and if this is not agreed to let
those members be put away.
Renata Kawepo said. It is right that we should have I
one member of Parliament for each thousand persons.
But let us collect money for our members. The Govern-
ment give money, by this our Maori members will not go
to the Government side. If you agree with me on this
point, I will agree to what is now being said in this meet-
ing. Karaitiana and Taiaroa have money (of their own).
hence they are not bought by the Government. If you
agree to my proposition I will give money.
Pita Koana said, I will not agree to those words.
Henare Matua said, the words of Renata are true. This
is the mode in which the Europeans go to Parliament.
Some of them go being very poor, some of them go being
men who have money, and those members who go to the
Parliament being poor men, are the members who go
over to the Government side. I will agree to have more
Maori members if it will help Sir G. Grey and his party
to aid the Maori people.
Mete Kingi said, I sat silent for a long time yesterday,
but I was thinking, that if we speak about having many
Maori members in the Parliament, such act will be to
sever, rather them make the Maori one people with the
European. This meeting has agreed that it is most desi-
rable that the Maori and European should become oue
people, and that they should each climb the tree of life
(that is the law) together. A chief of one of the islands
of the ocean said to his children, " Go together, climb
together, up ou to the branches of the tree. That tree is
the law." All the offspring of this chief held the order of
their parent in perfect obedience, and hence the tribe of
that chief were prosperous. Hence I say to this meeting,
let us agree that some of us be sent to the Parliament, so
that we may be called the children who obey the law.
Rota Porehua said, I ask what Island are the new Maori
members to represent ? I will not speak about the pre-
sent members, but tell me who are the new members to
represent ?
Tikawenga said, I rise to say that I think the subject
now before this meeting takes the point from our discus-
sion. We now say let us continue to importune the Par-
liament, because the government do not accede to our
request. The Government are afraid of many Maori
members in the Parliament. It will be very good if there
are many Maori members in the Parliament, because our
one member is not strong enough to carry all the subjects
we have to be taken before the Parliament. But it we
have many members, then all the work will be done for
the tribes. I am a poor man, but I cannot be bought by
Government money.
Meihaua Takihi said, it is right that all the matters
referred to the Parliament from the Pakowhai meeting be
sent back to the Parliament by this meeting. Do not
neglect this, and add other proposals to them.
Pirimona said, this is the word. " My bravery is not
the bravery of one, but all are brave." What Renata has
said is very true. If this meeting vote for him as mem-
ber, I will agree. Who else has money ?
Noa Huke said, I have said that I agree to have many
members. In respect to the word of Renata, I think that
the evil which will come to us will come from the mem-
bers' having money (given to them.)
Hori Te Huke said, it will be good for us to vote. We
have already voted.
Paora Kaiwhata said, this is what I see in those matters
which this meeting is discussing. They appear to be
words only. In respect to what Renata has said, it is
good. If his proposal is acted on, I propose that all the
tribes meet, together. It is not that I expect our wish to
be granted by the Parliament ; no, but let us continue to
ask again, and again. And let subject first be our plea,
that we are the subjects of the Queen (of England). We
know how to act in this matter, how to frame our request.
Our name now is Government, and men who belong to the
Queen. But, what is the cause of those evils which are
now pressing on us : continue to exist, and why such evils
are not kept from us by the power of the Queen. These
are the evils which men say must cease. Let surveying
cease. Lot the Native Lands Court cease to act. Such
evils as these were the cause of propositions 4 and 5 and
other matters having been discussed by this meeting.
Such was done that we might be saved. This is a request
from us to the men who act for the Queen, that they re-
new that which will bring life to us. It is said we wish
with the European to have one body, and one law. Sir D.
McLean is dead. He was the man who proposed the laws
by which evil came on us. Now we have a new Govern-
ment, lot us ask them to give us laws by which we can obtain
life. These requests eminate from the evils which now
press on us. and they ask for relief to be granted. Also,
we say, let us have more Maori members. Sir D. McLean
is dead, let us ask the new Government. We are asking
for that which will give us power to obtain justice, hence
we ask for new laws. And we ask that our wish may be
granted by the Government. This is the second meeting
we have held, and we shall continue to hold a meeting
every March, and when our request has been granted we
will cease.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.

the parts of these islands so that the European and Maori
may see it.

ihe three tribes named herein, viz. : Ngatiawa. Ngatipukeko
and Arawa, at Ohiwa, consent to give up drinking spirits and
also not to give it to visitors who come to see us, nor shall we
give it to the people when they assemble to hold their meet-
ing to discuss matters relative to the good of the tribes or
other matters. Nor will we give it to those who come to cry
over the dead. These words are made steadfast by us all.
that is the words which are above written.
Enough from Hori Kawakawa, Hoani Tuhimata, Apanui
Te Hamaiwaho, and by all the Ngatiawa tribe ; Meihana
Koata, Hamuera Naku, Toma Pohutu. Waata Te Rangikotua-
and by all the Ngatipukeko tribe ; Hori Karaka Te Rahoa-
tua, Hoani Ngamu Takarua, Matenga Peramatakitaki, Horima
Te Kutaoroa, Eruera Manuhuia Huru Huru, Tamati Hapi-
mana, and all the Arawa tribe at Ohiwa.
We feel a joy that language cannot express in reading the
above letter. We say that many years have been spent in
teaching the Maori, and not till now have the Ngatiawa,
Ngatipukeko, and Te Arawa learnt the lesson which makes
men gentlemen. We say be strong, be steadfast in your pro-
mises, and you will find in a short time that in happiness
industry, and in prosperity you will far outstrip those tribes
who will drink spirits.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Friend,—Salutations to you. Friend, insert my words
in your paper, so that my friends the Europeans and
Maori may see them—that is, the men who are heads of
the post offices, so that they may forward on quickly all
letters to the people. Letters and newspapers for me are
not received for weeks,—some come in two weeks, some
in three weeks. This is not right, as letters and papers
for Europeans are sent on to them at once, but letters and
papers to the Maori are not sent on, but neglected in their
transit from post office to post office. This is not right
work for the post office men to do.
Enough from your loving friend,
HIRINI TAKAMOANA.

Ka pai te patai a Te Witika. kia tuhituhia atu a matou
whakaaro e mahara ai matou hei tikanga mo aua Ture a Te

Ariki e Te Witika, he whenua Karauna Karaati. E toru, ko
te Kaokaoroa, kotahi Karaati; kai Tautitaha e rua Karaati,
ko ena whenua e mamae katoatia ana i roto i nga tau katoa
ka pahure ake nei. a taea noatia tenei tau hou 1877, me te
mau haere tonu te mamae, mau e hoatu he Ture mo enei
whenua. Tenei ka tukua atu a matou mahara mo te patai a
Te Witika mo te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori.
1. Tenei te kupu, ko nga tangata kore whenua e noho ae
ana i nga whakamahinga a nga Kooti tua-tahi, me kore,
me waiho te whenua i te tangata nona te whenua.
2. Ko te tangata e nui ana te whenua i roto i te Reti kia
nui ano te moni.
3. Ko te tangata he iri te whenua kia iti ano te moni.
Tenei hoki tetahi mea e pouritia ana. he whenua ano i
kapea e matou i te ra i hokona ai a te Waipukurau, kapea
ana taua, whenua ki waho i te tau 1850. ko Puketotara te
ingoa wahi o Tarawhera. I whakaae ai a Te Makarini i te wa
korero ai matou. I korere ano maua ko Ta Tanara Makarini
i roto i nga tau katoa, taea noatia tenei tau 1877
me te Runanga o Te WANANGA. E whakahaere he
Ture mo enei whenua, ara, ma TE WANANGA e kawe
atu kia To Witika, na matou ko aku tamariki enei whakaaro.
ko aku taina. He ritenga tenei mo nga tangata e ahu ana ki
te Tiwhikete o te Karauna Karaati tana noho, e ho aua ma te
piihi whenua ka tika. Ki te kore he piihi whenua, me puta
ia ki waho. me waiho te whenua i te tangata nona te whenua.
Kaore e pai te tangata ki te tiaki i te Tiwhikete hei tika mona
ki runga ki te whenua o te tangata na matou enei whakaaro.
ko aku tamariki ko oku taina. He tikanga ano tenei o tirohia
ihu ana e te hinengaro o te tangata e noho he ana i roto i te
Karauna Karaati, kaore he piihi whenua i a ia, e tika ai te
noho, me ki e te Ture o te Kooti kia puta atu ki waho, me
waiho te whenua ki te tangata kaainga, ki te whai piihi te
tangata, e pai ana, heoi aku kupu, ma te Ture o te Kooti enei
e mahi. Na matou ko aku taina me a matou tamariki.

It is reported here that on Monday evening a leading
native at Waihirere pa, named Anania, was recounting
some of his Chatham Island experiences to a circle of
listeners, when he suddenly dropped asleep. They
awakened him and heard the rest of the adventure, and
again he dropped asleep, but they could not awake him
this time. He was honored with a tangi, and buried next
day, but the natives affirm that he neither lost color nor
got cold from the time of his supposed death till he was
buried.—— Herald.
