HE kapi no TE WANANGA nei i tera wiki, i kore
ai he wahi rahi hei putanga korero ma TE WANA-
NGA nei, hei poroporoaki kia Te Waaka Kawatini.
I mea hoki matou kia ahua nui ano he kupu a TE
WANANGA nei, mo taua kaumatua, e kore hoki e
pai kia mate tangi kore te iwi ki nga tangata tau-
tawhito o te iwi. He tangata hoki a Te Waaka
Kawatini e rangona ana a nga iwi katoa.
No te 4 o nga ra e Akuhata, 1878 nei a Te
Waaka i mate ai. He Ratapu te ra, a i te wa ona
i mate ai, e tu tahi ana raua ko tetahi hoa Pakeha
ona, e korero tahi ana, pa whakarere ai te mate kia
Te Waaka, a hemo tonu iho aia, He nui te
pouri a ana tamariki, a ana mokopuna ki a ia, a he
nui te mihi a te tini o te iwi ki aia, kua tae mai nga
reta a te iwi ki TE WANANGA nei mo Te Waaka,
a taihoa ano era ka taia e matou, hei titiro ma nga
iwi ke, i te tangi a o konei iwi ki to ratou tino kau-
matua. He tangata a Te Waaka kua tae pea ona
tau ki te waru tekau ma wha, a no nga
ra o nehe noa atu aia, i kite aia i nga
mahi a te Maori i nga ra o te Maori e tino
Maori ana, he tini ana parekura i tu ai, a i mau
ano aia i etahi o nga mahi pera, a na tana kaha, na
tana maia, na tana mohio aia i ora ai. Ehara a te
Waaka i te tangata iti. He kaumatua nui a tinana,
a nui a wairua. E kore aia e hengia i roto i te to-
komaha, e ahua rangatira tonu ana hoki tana tu.
He uri aia no nga tino tangata o enei iwi. A he
tangata atawhai ki ana iwi, he mohio aia ki te ko-
rero. I nga ra o mua kahore kau a te Waaka kino
ki te iwi, i te mea, he tangata karanga aia i te manu-
hiri, a he tangata ahuwhenua ki te ngaki kai. I
nga wa o te riri, e kore a te Waaka e tahuri kino ki
te he mana, ma te tangata te he ki a ia, katahi ra
ano aia ka tu ki te riri mana. Ko te Waaka tetahi
o nga rangatira na ratou i to mai te karakia ki enei
iwi, a i iriiria a Kawatini ki te ingoa o te Waaka,
he mea hoki, koia tetahi i whakapono, a na ratou
tahi ko Kawatini, ko Renata, ko Tareha, ko nga
rangatira katoa i mahi he whare karakia ki Nepia
nei i nga ra o te Pakeha ki ano i tini ki Ahuriri
nei. He tangata a te Waaka kihai i kino ki te Pa-
keha, he mea hoki, he tangata tiaki aia i ana
Pakeha i whakanoho ai ki ana whenua i Ahu-
riri nei, a i nga wa o te Pakeha kua nui, i nga
wa o te Pakeha kua mahi i a ratou Ture ki tenei
wahi o Aotearoa, ahakoa he kaumatua Maori a Te
Waaka, a ko ana mohio i matau ai he mohio na o
mua Maori, kihai a Te Waaka i takahi i a te
Pakeha Ture. He tangata ahua pai, marie a Te
Waaka. A i nga ra o te rerewe i haere ai i te taha
o tana kainga, a i nga ra o ana hoiho, o nga hoiho
ano hoki o tana iwi, o ana tamariki, o ana mokopuna
i haere ai ki te ara o te rerewe a mate ai ana hoiho

TE WANANGA,
i te takahanga a te rerewe kihai a Te Waaka i
kupu kino, mo ana taonga ka mate nei i te
mahi hou a te iwi Pakeha, i ata tuhituhi marire
Te Waaka i ana mahi ki te Kawanatanga, a hemea
ata tono marire e ia he ritenga ki aia mo ana kuri kua
mate nei i te tikanga, hou a te Pakeha e haere uhi
nei i te ara. Mehemea pea ko etahi iwi nei, ara o
nga iwi ke, o nga whenua ke noa atu, kua puta kino
he kupu ma aua iwi mo ta ratou mate, tena ko Te
Waaka, he mauri tatu tona, koia aia i mahi
Rangatira ai, a i ata whakaputa tika, i ata rapu
pai, i ata kawe marire i ana kupu ki te Kawanatanga.
E hara te kupu oho tata, e hara te korero kaika i te
kupu e oti tika ai te he, tena ko te tu tangata pera
me te Waaka, e oti te he i tana ata mahi pai. A i
nga ra o nga mahi he ki nga whenua e te Pakeha, he
mohio kore no te Waaka ki a te Pakeha mahi ma-
minga, i pau nui ai ana whenua te hoko nukarau.
A e haere nei ano aua Pakeha na ratou i mahi he
ana whenua, kahore kau he mauahara a taua kau-
matua kia ratou Heoi ano te mea a te Waaka, ko
tehea aua Pakeha ki aua whenua, me ata mahi
marire ano e te Ture. Ehara a te Waaka i te ta-
ngata pai atu ki te kino, a ehara ano hoki a te
Waaka i te tangata pai atu ki te kino, a ehara ano
hoki a te Waaka i te tangata korero patipati ki te
iwi, ka kite ano aia i te he, e kore aia e korero wha-
kapai atu ki te he, ka whaaki nui aia i tana i kite
ai i te he a te tangata. Ehara te mate a te Waaka
i te mate no enei ra, i tera tau, ia te Waaka i Nepia
aia i mate ai. He haerenga nona i te taone i Nepia
a taka whakarere aia i te ara o te taone, he mohio
ano no nga takuta mahi rongoa, he mate kaumatua,
a e kore e roa ona e mate ai, he mea hoki kua tae
ona tau ki te nui.
I te wa i nehua ai a te Waaka kihai i rangona te ra
i nehua ia, penei kua haere atu te Pakeha ki te tangi,
nei ra ui noa te Pakeha ki te ra e nehua ai, kihai
i kiia mai e te iwi Maori, a no muri ka rongo te
Pakeha kua nehua aia, a he ouou nei nga kai
tangi i te ra i nehua ai.
Heoi he nui te mihi a o konei Pakeha kia Te
Waaka, he mea hoki na te iwi katoa, kahore ano he
wa i rangona ai te kupu kino a Te Waaka kia kiia
i Nepia nei, a kahore ano he wa o Te Waaka i
kinongia e te Pakeha. I nga wa o Te Waaka e
haere mai ai ki Nepia nei, kahore he mea ona e ahua
tautohetohe ai te Pakeha. A he nui noa atu te
kupu whakapai a nga tini Apiha a te Kawanatanga
ki taua kaumatua.
I kite ano a te Waaka i nga taua i turia ai te
riri ki te Roto-a-tara, a i kite ano hoki a Te Waaka
i te riri i te Pakake, otira he tini noa atu ana riri o
mua i pa ai, a he mea hoki no nga ra o mua aia,
koia aia i tino mohio ai ki nga tikanga a o mua tu
riri, he kaiaka aia ki te mau patu. Haere atu ra
e kara, haere atu i te rongo noho pai ou i te ao nei,
a ma matou ma nga mea i noho iho e tangi iho he
tangi ki a koe. Haere atu ra e te tangata manawa
pai a te uri ako i te noho marie. Haere atu ra.
Haere atu ra."

SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1878.
THROUGH pressure of matter in our last week's issue
we were not able to give that space to a notice of the
death of the late chief and old warrior Te Waaka
Kaka Kawatini which we could wish. In the pre-
sent issue we wish to give a brief notice of some of
the great wars in which Te Waaka, as a young
man and as a warrior of growing fame, took part.
To give a correct view of some of the battles we
shall have to notice the scenery of the different
localities in which the battles took place.
The first war in which Waaka was engaged was
at the lake Roto-a-Tara. This lake is in the Aute
district, in the Province of Hawke's Bay, and is
about two miles south-west of Te Aute College.
The country on the south is high and rolling hills ;
on the west is an island-like portion of land sur-
rounded by a bog; between this and these hills is a
creek, which is the outflow of water from the lake
communicating with the Waipawa river. This lake
is in extent about 200 acres, in which, and on the
north side, is situated the island called * Te-Awa-a-
Porirua,"" on which was built a Pa called " Roto-a-
Tara."" This Pa was occupied by various sub-tribes
of Ngatikahungunu at the time about which we are
now to relate the wars of that period. At three
different times this Pa had to withstand the attacks
made on it by tribes from a distance. About 60 or 65
years since, in the days of Kawakawa, who was chief
of this part of the Ahuriri district, and who was
head chief of the party who occupied this Pa, a
party of the Ngatipaoa tribe of the Hauraki Natives
of the Thames, in the Auckland Province, made a
raid into this district. Family feuds at home in the
Thames, for which they durst not attack each other,
prompted them to revenge such family quarrels on
others to slake their vengeance, which gave rise to this
war party. They came by the way of the Upper
Thames, through Patetere, crossed by the south-
west of Taupo, sending a scouting party by the east
side of the Lake Taupo, and following on the west
slope of the Ruahine Range, passed through the
gorge made by the Manawatu River, and came out
on the plain near the Ruataniwha, killing all
they met, and attacked the Pa on this lake (Roto-
a-Tara), at which time nearly all the male
population of the Pa were on the East Coast,
near Waimarama, fishing ; where the Kahu-
ngunu had a settlement to which they went at
the springtime of the year to collect fish for winter
store for this Pa. After a brave but short resistance
the chief Kawakawa was killed with all the old men
and every one of the then occupants. The Ngati-
paoa came on them by stealth, and by making
mokis or raupo canoes, they passed across the lake

to the island Pa at night, and killed all in it. The
Ngatipaoa returned home by way of Petane (north
of Napier) killing all on their way. This war was
returned by some of the Hawke's Bay tribes, who
vented their vengeance on the tribes living in the
intermediate country between Hawke's Bay and the
Thames.
About ten or twelve years after this, war, a chief
of Kahungunu named Nehu, died of old age. He
was father of the present chief woman Hineipaketia,
and to honor the dead, the chief (on whom de-
volved the honor of performing all the rites to the
dead) called Wanikau, ordered all the eels, fish, and
birds in or on the lakes Roto-a-Tara, Roto-a-Kiwa,
and Poukawa to be sacred, and to give warning to
tae people, Wanikau put posts up which were be-
smeared with red ochre near each lake. These were
the rahui, or the prohibition or tapu. These orders
did not accord with the wish or gourmand desires of
another chief of Kahungunu called Mautahi, who
broke the post down and burnt them, at
the same time he cursed Warikau by saying the
poets he was burning were the bones of Wanikau.
This tapatapa or curse so enraged Wanikau that he
left his own home and went to Taupo, where he
gained the assistance of the tribes Ngatituwharetoa,
Ngatitepehi, and Ngatiteupokoiri. These tribes
came by way of the mountain roads, and killed the
first people near Waipawa. They laid siege to the
Pa Te-Awa-o-Porirua, on the Roto-a-Tara, but not
having gained any advantage the Taua (war party
attacking) left a body of men to watch the Pa while
the rest of the Taua went to Maungawharau, .a
forest on the coast near Waimarama, a fishing
kainga of the Roto-a-Tara people. They attacked the
fishing village, or kainga, but having been worsted,
and having lost Manuwhiri, brother of Heuheu,
Tawake, head chief of Taupo, and Rangimanawa,
brother of Pehi Turoa, of Whanganui this party re-
tired and returned to those who kept guard over the
Pa in Roto-a-Tara. When the main body heard
of their defeat at the fishing village of Maungawha-
rau, Heuheu, being the leader of the war party,"
gave orders to raise the seige and return to their
own country. The order was obeyed on the follow-
ing morning. Those in the Pa had heard of the
battle and defeat of the Taua at Maungawharau.
Te Heuheu was a grey headed man. When the
Taua rose and were leaving the post they had occu-
pied in the seige the people of the Pa with their
chief-seeing them departing, called from the Pa,
"0 ho, tena hoki to upoko hina te tau haere na."
"Ha ha, so you bow your grey head down as you
depart." Heuheu did not turn round, but put his
right hand out behind him and clawed the air, an
answer to the taunt which did, as language could
not say more, " I will hold in my hand the insult
.offered, and will abide my time." The Taua and
Heuheu went direct to Maungawharau, where a
pitched battle took place, at which no doubt the
insult and the death of the three head chiefs on the
last attack gave the Taua spirit as they gained a com-
plete victory, and killed a great number of the head
chiefs and warriors of the Ngatikahungunu tribe, where
the Taua stayed to eat the killed, when they after
wards returned home by way of Ruahine Range. A
few who escaped from the battle got back into "the
Roto-a-Tara Pa, and told the tale of death. The
Pa from this time was kept ia good repair, the timber
for which was at once obtained from the Aute forest
When Te Heuheu arrived at home in Taupo, he
sent messengers to the tribes Ngatimaru, of the
Thames, Ngatiraukawa, of Maungatautari, Ngati-
maniapoto (Rewis people), Rauparaha had not
migrated to Kapiti at this time), and the Waikato
tribes, Ngatituwharetoa, Ngatipehi, Ngatiteuruma-
kina of Taupo, Ngatiterangiita, Ngatirauhoto, Te
Pauponga Wheawhe of Taupo, which met at
Taupo, and came by way of the mountain roads
where they could not be seen, coming out at
Waipawa and Raukawa, where they killed
all the people taken by them. * Pareiha was
now head chief of the Roto-a-Tara Pa. He
was a man' of great ability, and a brave chief.
He, with the people in the Pa, defended it bravely
for three months, and not till the storming party
had built a bridge from the east bank of the lake
all the way across to the island Pa, could any hand
to hand fight take place. The timber to build the
bridge was obtained by the Taua in the Aute forest
Pareiha ordered a puwhara (a timber tower) to be
built in the Pa, to be raised above the bridge or
kahupapa, from which they in the Pa could throw
stones and spears at the storming party. Te Arawai,
son of Tukorehu, chief of Tauranga, had his head
broken by some stones thrown at him by the people
of the Pa from the puwhara. The Pa resisted as
long as they could till the storming party threw fire
from the bridge and set fire to the nuts in the Pa.
Pareiha collected the people on the south-west of
the Pa and waited till the fire had burnt all the north-
east side of the fortifications, and when the storm-
ing party came on from the bridge, he led his people
on in a furious attack, and drove the enemy into the
lake, where the battle was so fierce that hundreds
of the enemy and his people killed each other and
sank in the water to rise no more. On the night of
that day Paraiha led his people across the lake on
rafts, and landed on the south side, and then fled to
the coast near to Porangahau, the enemy having
remained to take the dead which were found in the
water to eat them, and bury their own dead. All
the common people of the storming party were
allowed to remain in the lake, while the chiefs heads
and bones were taken home. To this day bones
of the dead may be seen in the lake. All the tribes
went back to their own homes by way of the moun-
tain roads by which they had come, but Te Heuheu
came by way of Pakipaki and Napier, and was
entertained by that part of the Kahungunu tribe who
occupied Te Pakake Pa in the Ahuriri harbor, the
site of the present railway shed at the Spit, at Napier,

TE WANANGA.
when he went on to Taupo, his home. The Waikato,
Thames, and Tauranga people collected and re
turned to get revenge for the death of Arawai, and B
attacked Pakake Pa. Pareiha having heard of the H
brewing storm, came to Napier and asked the Pa-
kake people to go with him to Nukutaurua, but they
refused. He took with him that part of the Ngati-
kahungunu under him, and went to Nukutaurua. B
After Pereina had left, the people in Te Pakake Pa B
did all they could to strengthen their position, and,
if possible, repel the attacking party, who had come
to revenge the death of Te Arawai, who was killed
at Te Roto-a-Tara Pa by a stone thrown at his
head. The Pakake Pa was an island in the bosom
of the Ahuriri lagoon, or that part of the water which
was immediately inside of the opening of the mouth
of the Ahuriri river, and at high water was sur-
rounded by the tide over which not any person could
wade, but "at low water along a sandy ridge which
ran from the shore (now occupied and known as the B
north end of Milton Road, at which time there was H
a Maori settlement) a man could ford the water that
divided the island from the main land. Between
the island Pakake Pa and what now is
the Spit was a deep pool or basin. On
the Spit point the war party were collected, and
from this they occasionally attempted at night to
surprise the people in the Pa. Old Waka was in
the Pa at this time, and for weeks the attacked
were able to keep their enemy at bay. One night
some of the young men of the Pa took a swift
sailing canoe, and left the Pa, pulling up the north
branch of the Ahuriri lagoon. Passing the islands
which stand in the Petane portion of the
lagoon, they arrived at the headland near the head
of that lagoon, and whilst there heard from the
voices of some of the enemy that on the morrow an
assisting war party were to arrive by way of the
present locality known as Petane, and make an
attack on the Pa from the north-west These young
men returned to the Pa, and collected all the
volunteers they could from the Pa, and returned
and laid in wait for the coming enemy. At day-
break the attacking party appeared, and were con-
fronted by the young men of the Pa. Te Waaka
was in the party of young men, as they had laid an
ambush of their party in the scrub at the head of
Petane Bay. Te Waaka being in the ambush when
the assault was made, he met face to face an old
and acknowledged brave. But youth and ambition
overcame his doubts. Waaka, from behind a bush
attacked his enemy, and, being agile, he parried the
thrusts of the old warrior, and by dint of muscular
agility he overcame him. When the young men
retired to their Pa in the glee of victory, the enemy
on the east side of the Spit decamped, and passing
over what is now known as the Shakespere road, they
travelled on to where Farndon now stands, and
there with the raupo made canoes called moki
which they pulled out by the mouth of Te
Ngaruroro River, paddled along the shore toward
the Bluff, and entering the mouth of the river
attacked the Pakake Pa. The attack was made at
the break of day. The scene was beyond descrip-
tion. After the battle could be seen the dead and
dying scattered all over the side of the Pa and in
i the water. Those who could escape fled inland to
the Ruahine Ranges; and the enemy having waited
as long as they thought fit retired home.
Te Waaka has had five different names by
which he has been known in different periods of his
I life. The name Waaka is the Maori of Walker,
I a name given to him when he was baptised in the
I Church of England by the old missionaries.
I The name by which he was known as a boy,
I and which was given to him by Maori baptism, was
Tunui, a whale god, which was the name of his
grandfather. The second was Kawatini, the name of
his grandfather on his mother's side. The third was
Te Kaka, the large dark brown parrot called by
the Maori Kaka. How he obtained this name was
from the death of the great chief of the Ahuriri
called Kauru, who died from the effect, it is said,
of eating some Kaka birds which had been be-
witched by the noted Maori priests Moeroa, by the
order of Meke, the head chief of Te Wairoa. The
sister of Meke, called "Kohia, was wife of Kauru,
and the brother of Kohia, called Haronga, was in-
vited by Kauru to stay with him at the Pakake Pa.
The boy had not been there long before he was
taken very ill, and it was said he was bewitched by
some of the people of Kauru. Kauru sent him
back home to Te Wairoa, and those who took him,
on their return brought a basket of cooked birds
called Kaka from Meke for Kauru. It is said
these birds had been cooked and then bewitched by
Meke's priest, called Moeroa. Kauru partook of
these birds and died. Te Waaka was then called
Kaaka, to keep this in remembrance. Te Waaka's
fourth name was Takawahie, from the circumstance
of an elder relative of Te \\Vaaka, called Harapa,
who in the attack on the Pakake Pa was killed, and
falling into a canoe in which there was some wood
kept for firewood, hence Te Waaka was called
Takawahia (Fall-on-firewood), to keep this in re-
membrance.
The old chief died at Kohupatiki, seven miles
from Napier, on Sunday, the 4th August, 1878.
For some time his health was failing fast, and on
the day of his death, whilst speaking with an old
European friend, Te Waaka, without any apparent
intimation of death, fell down and expired. He was
buried on Tuesday, the 6th, near his late residence ;
and as it had not been intimated by his people when
the funeral was to take place, we regret to say that
there were not many present to pay a last mark of
respect to this aged chief. It would appear that his
people are responsible for this, as they did not wish
that a public funeral should be given.

mea ai, mana rawa ano e ora ai te iwi. Kahore he
tangata o nga motu net i penei te mohio me Kawana
Kerei, he tini te iwi he mano nga mohio, ko Kawana
Kerei te tino ariki o nga mohio katoa. A tetahi pai
o Kawana Kerei, he aroha nui nona ki nga iwi o enei
motu, he tika no ana mahi, he rangatira no ana wha-
kaaro, he ata whakarongo nona ki nga korero a te iwi
koia i kiia ai, ko Kawana Kerei te tino matua
pono o nga iwi o nga motu nei. He tangata a
Kawana Kerei, e tautoko ana i te tutua kia tu
ai te mokai i te wa o te ora i te kai, a i te mea e ki ai
te mokai, ka whiwhi aia i te oranga mona. A e rua
nga hoa o Kawana Kerei, i haere atu aua Pakeha i
konei, a he tino tangata pai aua mema a koutou kua tu
nei hei hoa mahi Kawanatanga kia Kawana Kerei, A
kahore he Pakeha i ko ke atu, e pera te maia, me te
tika, e rite ki aua mema a koutou kua tu nei nei hoa
ma Kawana Kerei i te Kawanatanga. Tena atu ano
etahi hoa ano a Kawana Kerei, he mema era no etahi
wahi o nga motu nei, a he kore no tatou e kite, a e (
rongo ki ana mema i kore ai tatou e tino mohio ki aua
mema. Otiia he tino tangata aua mema hoa ano a
Kawana Kerei. A ko Te Hiana e rongona nei, he
tangata a Te Hiana, e tino whakapono ana te Maori
ki aia, i te tika hoki o ana whakahaere tikanga. A
he Pakeha a Te Hiana e tino mohio ana ki te reo
Maori, me nga tikanga Maori, me a te Maori mea e
rapua nei, kia ora ai te iwi Maori. A he nui noa atu
ta raua mahi ko Kawana Kerei i oti nei i a raua mo
te iwi Maori. E mea ana ahau ma Kawana Kerei
raua ko Te Hiana e mutu ai te nui o te he e peehi
kino nei i nga iwi Maori, a e kore ai he he a te Maori
raua ko te Pakeha, a nga tau e haere ake nei. He
tika ano, e kiia ana e nga mema e he nei kia raua, he
mahi iti te naahi a Kawana Kerei ma. Otira taihoa,
kia pehea ake ranei nga marama ka kite ratou i te pai
o te mahi kua oti nei ia Kawana Kerei raua ko Te
Hiana. Koia ahau i mea ai, ki te mea ka tu ahau nei
mema, hei hoa pu ano ahau mo Kawana Kerei. He
pai hoki, he tika hoki no te tikanga a Kawana Kerei
e mahi nei mo nga iwi, koia ahau i mea ai, ka tautoko
pono ahau, i nga tikanga, me nga mea katoa e kiia
ana e Kawana Kerei, mo te iwi, he mohio pa noku,
kei a Kawana Kerei te ara marama e puta ai nga iwi
ki te ao marama, ki te ora, a ki te noho pai, i nga wa e
haere ake nei. Umere ana te iwi ki ana kupu nei a
Te Oriwa.
SIR G. GREY AN ABLE MAN.
Mr. Richard Oliver, who has just been returned for
Dunedin City, in place of Mr. Larnach, in the coarse
of his speech to the electors at Dunedin made the
following remarks on the personnel of the Ministry
—" We have at the head of this Ministry Sir George
Grey—an able man, with a larger experience in
politics and statecraft than has been enjoyed by any
man amongst us, to which he unites a sincere love for
New Zealand, an unblemished character, spotless
honor, and extremely liberal opinions. We have as
his colleagues our two present city members amongst
others, and of those two I would say, you might
search New Zealand from north to south and you
would not find two better representatives than we
have in them. He has other colleagues of whom we
have less knowledge, but who can compare favourably
with the members of any Ministry we have lately
seen. In Mr. Sheehan we have a man trusted by the
Maoris, well acquainted with Maori habits, manners,
thought, and tradition—a man who, with, his chief
| Sir George Grey, has been able to effect very much
in that direction. It strikes me that we have seen
the last of Maori troubles. Of course the opponents
of Ministry make little of the efforts which these
gentlemen have been making quite recently towards a
settlement of old standing disputes, but it strikes me
that we shall see those efforts bear good fruit in the
future—and not a very distant future either—
(Applause.) This being my opinion of the Ministry
yon will not be surprised to learn that I propose, if
you do me the honor of electing me, to give the
Ministry a general surport. (Applause.) Their policy,
so far as it has been sketched before us, commends
itself to my understanding and to my sympathy. I
will not promise to give an unhesitating and thorough-
going support to this Ministry or any other Ministry."
—( Applause.

CHINA: THE PREPARATIOES FOR WAR.
The following telegram from the Press Agency's
Own Correspondent shows to our Maori readers that
in view of the war with Russia, which, is now hap-
pily averted, Great Britain had made careful prepara-
tions to meet Russian cruisers in the China and
Tima Seas :—
SHANGHAI, May 20.
The Russians have made great preparations for the
protection of Vladevostock. There are not over
15,000 troops—horse, foot, and artillery—in the dis-
trict, and four men-of-war in the harbour. This
colony Hongkong) is being well fortified, and
Volunteer corps are being raised and drilled. The
gunboat Lapwing left here yesterday under sealed
orders.
The British fleet is kept pretty lively. On the
19th ult. the sloop Egeria and the corvette Modiste
left Yokohama under sealed orders. Next day at
daylight three Russian, men-of war that were in har-
bour also left. At noon the same day the Audacious,
14 guns, with the gunboat Magpie, also left Yoko-
hama. They are all now at Nagasaki.
The prospect of war between England and Russia
has excited considerable interest here. It is estimated
that the British squadron now in these waters would
allow of a ship being detailed to watch each Russian
man-of war, and leave a few over for any service that
may be needed. That is, in fact, what is being done.
A sharp eye is being kept on all the Pacific boats.
NGA KUPU A TE KAWANA O NUI TIRENI MO TE
KINO O TE INU WAIPIRO.
No te ra i tohia ai te kawa o te whare Runanga mo nga
kai mahi a te Pakeha i Poneke, a te Kawana Nomanapi i
tu ai ki te korero ki taua hunga kai mahi o taua taone.
Ka mea a te Kawana. E mea ana ahau, kahore he tino
nui rawa atu o te kai waipiro a o konei Pakeha, i te kai
waipiro a nga Pakeha o etahi whenua ke atu. Otira he
kai kino te kai waipiro a nga iwi o enei motu, he nui no te
kai, a he tino nui no te waipiro e kai ai o konei iwi i mea
ai ahau, he iwi kai kino tatou o nga motu nei i te wai-
piro. E kore ahau e mea ma te kii a nga Ture o te Pare-
mata e kore ai e kai te tangata i te waipiro, e kore ahau e
mea, ma te kupu tapitapi tonu ki te tangata kai waipiro
aia e mutu ai te kai waipiro. Otira e mea ana ahau, ma
koutou e ako, ko te tangata kore kai i te waipiro, te ta-
ngata, e ako tonu ana i te iwi, a ma te kite atu o ana hoa
ki aia, kahore ana kai waipiro, ka ako a tauira ai ana
hoa ki a ia, a ka mutu ano hoki ta ratou kai waipiro, ehara
taku i te mea atu, me ako a kupu e te tangata kore kai
waipiro Ki ana hoa, ma te kite kau atu a ana hoa ki aia e
kore e kai waipiro, e mohio ai ana hoa ki ona tikanga i
kauhau i te kino o te waipiro. E mea ana ahau, ka pai
kia tu tenei whare, hei whare ako ia koutou kia mutu te
kai waipiro. He mea hoki naku, ki te mea ka riria e
koutou te kai waipiro, ma reira e routu ai te kai a te toko-
maha. He mea hoki naku, ka whakama te hunga kai
waipiro i te ako a te hunga kai kore i te waipiro. He
tika ano kia okioki te tangata i etahi wa, e kore hoki 6
tika kia mahi tonu te tangata, ka hoha aia, me okioki aia
kia mutu ai tana ngenge kia kaha ai ano aia ki te mahi i
nga wa o te mahi, whai hoki, kia noho takaro, ara ki*
kite te tangata i nga mea e ahuareka ai te tangata, kia
kata ai, kia menemene ai nga paparinga o te tangata, ki»
ahua ora ake ai tana tinana, e hara hoki te tangata i te
rakau e tu moke ai aia i te roa o te tau, me whai wahi aia,
ki te ora mo te tinana. A ko te hunga ki ano i marena o
koutou, ko nga kai mahi taitamariki, ko te hunga ki ano i
whai whare e kiia ai he whare noa ake, ko era nga mea e
ahua hoha i te mea kahore he tino wahi e noho ora ai tana
hinengaro. He mea hoki, ko aua tu tangata e noho ana i
te whare tangata ke, a kahore he tino u o te noho pai, a ko
aua tu tangata nga mea e riro ana i te waipiro te whaka-
wai, ki te mahi e ahuareka ai te noho i te mokemoke o
ratou. He mea hoki e ahua mea ana aua taitamariki kai
mahi, kahore nei he whare a rarou ake. kia whai wahi
ratou e tu ora ai te hinengaro i te mahi, e kore ai ratou e
hoha, a e kaha ai ano te ngakau ki te toro i nga mahi nui
o te ao. He tika ano, i nga ra pai, e haereere ana tu
tangata kia kite tahi ratou ko o ratou hoa haere i nga
wahi o nga kainga ke atu, ara e haere ki te taihau, kia
kore ai he waea o nga waewae i te nohoanga, otira i nga
ra o te hotoke, i nga ra o te awha, me te ua, he manaaki ta
taua tu tangata ki nga whare paparakauhe, na reira ahau
i mea ai, e te iwi kai mahi, e nga kamura, e nga kai ngaki
whenua, e nga kai mahi toa, e nga kai mahi parakimete,
kia kaha ta koutou noho i nga whare penei me tenei e
turia nei e tatou kia mutu ai te mahi kai waipiro a te iwi,
kia kaha te noho, kia maia ki te rapurapu i nga mohiota-
nga o te ao nei, kia riro katoa ai a koutou whakaaro ki
era mea, kia kore ai he mahara minaka ki te kai waipiro.
He tika ano ia nei, i nga wa o koutou e kore ai he mahi,
a ka haere koutou ki nga paparakauhe noho ai, e hara ta
koutou i te haere ki te kai waipiro, engari he whare kore
na etahi o koutou, i haere ai koutou ki reira, a ko tenei
kua whai whare nei hoki koutou, kia. maia te hokihoki
mai o koutou ki konei, kei whakawaia koutou e te anu o
te waipiro ana haere koutou ki nga paparakauhe, ka riro
ano koutou i te au o te kino, a ka haurangi ano koutou.
He mea pai ka haere mai koutou ki konei, ki te korero ki
a koutou hoa Pakeha, kia mohio ai ano hoki ratou ki a
koutou whakaaro, ma reira e tupu nui ai he mohiotanga
ma koutou, i te mea hoki e hokohoko ana koutou kia
koutou ano i nga mea e mohiotia ana e koutou ano. Ma
3nei mea e ora ai koutou i te kai kino nei i te waipiro.
Kahore he mea kino o te ao nei, i penei te tino kino ona
me te kimo o waipiro.
THE WORDS OF THE GOVERNOR OF NEW
ZEALAND ABOUT THE EVILS OF DRINKING
SPIRITS.
His Excellency the Governor, in his address at the
opening of the Wellington Working Men's Club Ex-
hibition made the following very sensible observations :—
" I do not believe that intoxication is more prevalent ia
this country than in others on the contrary, it is, I hold,
otherwise, but at the same time there can be no doubt
that there is too much drinking in New Zealand. I am no
believer in making a man sober by Act of Parliament.
I do not believe in coercion of that kind ; but I do be-
lieve in a kind of coercion—one which, depend upon it, Is
the most effectual, and that is the coe -cion of example and
the opinion of your neighbors. If these clubs are insti-
tuted with the determination of making them—if I may
so term it—schools where men can learn good manners
and where they know that if they exceed in any degree ira

the way of drinking they will be looked down upon and
condemned by their fellow clubsmen they will, I am con
fident, have more effect in stopping excessive drinking
than any other means." It is the nature of man to re-
quire relaxation and amusement, and we all know the
the working man, especially the young working man who
is not married, and has not a home, finds that the
lodgings he occupies are hot generally speaking of
a very tempting and comfortable character. He wants in
his leisure hours some place where he can go and find
relaxation. He may in the fine weather walk about with
his friends, but when the wet and cold weather comes on
he is generally tempted to visit the public-house. He may
go there without the slightest inclination or wish to drink,
bat at the same time he feels that he is called upon to
have something, for what is called ' the good of the house.
"Well, his neighbor does the same, and so it goes on from
hour to hoar and day to day ; and a man who began that
course without any intention or wish to exceed, too often
falls into temptation and becomes a drunkard. All this
danger is removed in one of these clubs. No man is
obliged to call for anything ' for the good of the house.'
The house is his own as much as it is anybody else's. He
can come to his club, enjoy himself, talk to his neighbor,
he can play his game of draughts, billiards, or bagatelle,
and go away without having anybody to thank and with-
out calling for anything unless he chooses. I think that
this, together with creating an esprit de corps among
members of the club, will be the surest and most certain
way of ' scotching' that most detestable vice of drinking
NGA RA MUTUNGA O PIHOPA HEREWINI.
No te 6 o Aperira 1878 i mahi ai nga takuta i te mate o
Pihopa Herewini, a he manawanui nona ki te nui o te
mamae ona i mahia ai e aua takuta aia i ora ake ai. Ano
ka kite aia i tetahi ona hoa Pakeha, ka ki atu a Pihopa
ki taua Pakeha. " He nui noa atu taku mate i a au e
mahia nei, ano koa he ahi te ara oku i haere ai i te ma-
mae oku, otiia e inoi ana ahau ki te Atua, kia tauira tonu
ahau ki te Atua o to tatou oranga, kia pera ai ahau, kia
rite ki a ia, i te akoranga e te mamae." A no taua ra a
Pihopa i ahua pohehe ai ana whakaaro i etahi takiwa, i
kore ai aia e roa te korerotanga ki ana hoa Pakeha. A i te
wa ona i ahua pohehe ai ana whakaaro, ka penei ake ana
kupu kia ia ano, ara ka korero a Pihopa ki a ia ano ka
mea. " E mea ana ahau, e mangere haere ana ahau, ka-
hore kau aku mahi e mahi ai. A i te tua ahiahi, he mea
karakia e Pihopa Aperahama rana ko Pihopa Hopihanihi,
a kai ana a Pihopa Herewini i te Hakarameta. A i runga
ano hoki a Ta Wiremu Matenga raua ko Mihi Matenga.
A be nui noa atu te ki a Pihopa i nga kapu nei. " Kia
whakapai atu tatou." A i penei tonu he kupu ana.
" Whakapai tonu tatou ki te Atua." Ano ka karakia
ratou, ka whakarongo tonu a te Pihopa, a ka mutu te ka-
rakia, ka hariru aia kia ratou katoa, ka poroporoaki iho kia
ratou, a i korero kapu aia kia ratou katoa, a he kupa mihi
tonu tana ki nga tamariki, a i te Taite te 9 o Aperira, ka
mea atu a te Pihopa ki tetahi o ana hoa Pakeha "na te tino
aroha i kore aihe wehi," a he nui ana kupu whakapai ki te
Atua, mona, kihai nei i mate rawa atu i te nui o te mate i
pa nei ki aia. He nui ona kupu korero pai atu ki nga
tangata i haere atu kia kite i aia. A i etahi wa ona i noho
puku ai, ka ahua mihi iho aia ki aia ano, a ka hoki mai
ano ana whakaaro ki nga iwi Maori o Aotearoa o te Wai-
pounamu, a ka mea aia, " ka mihi aroha atu ahau ki nga.
iwi Maori." A i ahua mea aia ki nga iwi Maori, i whaka-
rerea nei e ratou te karakia pono ki te Atua, a ka penei
ake ana kupu Maori ana ano " Otiia ka hoki mai ratou."
A e noho tahi ana ratou ko etahi o ana hoa tawhito e pu-
puri ana tana hoa tawhito a Te Pihopa, oho rere ake ai
aia i tana moe ka mea." E marama ana," ne kupu Maori
ana kapa ana. He mea hoki e hoki mai ana aana whaka-
aro ki ana iwi Maori i aroha ai, a i ako ai i te kupu tapu
a te-Atua kia ratou, a i ahua pouri pea a Pihopa Herewini
no te toea i whakarere nei etahi o nga iwi Maori i ta ratou
karakia pono ki te'Atua a i tahuri nei ki te karakia i te
mahi pohehe a te tangata kuare potata i ako ai ki nga iwi
Maori. A i te Taite i te 11 o Aperira ka mea a Te Pihopa
" Koia te maramatanga hei whakamarama i nga Tauiwi"
Ano ka tae ki te wa o te ra e tikaka ai ka oho aue ake a
Te Pihopa, i te mea ka tata aia ki te mate. A ka inoi a
Pihopa Aperahama. A ka mea a Pihopa ko te wairua a
to tatou Pihopa, kia haere marama atu ki te aroaro o te
Atua" a i aua kupu, ka hemo a Pihopa Herewini, ka mate
hoki te Pihopa tino kaumatua. Ano ka mate aia, ka pata-
te rongo o te wahine o te tamaiti a Pihopa Herewini kua
mate. He mea hoki no te hokinga mai o te hunga neha
ia Te Pihopa, a Mata Herewini i rongo ai kua mate te
wahine a ta raua tamaiti i male ki te moutere i ko atu o
Nui Tireni.
THE LAST DAYS OF BISHOP SELWYN.
On Saturday, April 6, having undergone an extremely
painful operation on the previous Thursday, he said to a
friend, " Since I saw you I have passed through the fire
but I pray that I may be perfected through suffering
like the Captain of our Salvation." After this day he was
never conscious for long at a time, or able to hold any
conversation with his friends. In his unconscious wan-
derings he said, "I'm getting idle." In the afternoon
Bishops Abrahams and Hobhouse administered the Holy
Communion to him and all in the room, including Sir
William and Lady Martin. At the administration of the
cup, he clung to the words, " be thankful," and kept on
repeating them, and saying " Thank God." After the
Lord's Prayer he became for a minute unconscious, but
recovered himself, and followed audibly in the Gloria in
excelsis, and himself pronounced the blessing quite
clearly. For three quarters of an hour the Bishop main-
tained his fixed attention to the service, and afterwards
shook hands with each, and said to each some most
appropriate words, and saw and blessed all the little
ones. On Tuesday, the 9th, he said to a friend,
Perfect love casteth out fear." Those who were with
him were struck with his strong sense of thankfulness to
God for the sufferings He had brought him through. He
knew and blessed those who were about his bed. His
thoughts roamed to the Maori Church, and he sent a mihi
aroha, and dwelt on those who had separated them-
selves—and said, with a beaming look, " Otiia ka hoki
mai ratou." One of his oldest friends was sitting by him
holding his hand, when he woke up with a start, and
said " E marama ana" words which he had often heard
from dying Maoris. On Thursday, April 11, he whispered,
" A light to lighten the Gentiles." About noon he tnut-
tured a loud cry, and was dying. All the members of the
household were quickly assembled, and Bishop Abraham
said the Commendatory Prayer. After a deep sigh, just
as the words, " That his soul may be presented pure and
without spot to Thee," were said, the great bishop breathed
his last. The long-waited-for letters from Norfolk Island,
giving an account of the death of Mrs John Selwyn,
reached the Palace at Lichfield just after the return of
Mrs. Selwyn from the funeral.—Church Gazette.

TURKS AND TURKS.
A Constantinople merchant writes as follows to The
Times :—" It is incumbent on every Englishman in those
critical times to give the benefit of his experience in
matters connected with Turkish affairs, by so doing he
can throw any light on the subject ; and I do not hesitate
to say that private individuals like myself, long resident
in this country, who know the languages and have inti-
mate relations with the body of the people, are at times
better able to give a correct opinion than those who are
surrounded by the atmostphere of official reserve. I have
many opportunities of testing the feelings of the Turks,
and I have endeavors to make the best use of them.
They are now divided into unmistakeable demarcation into
two distinct classes - the official world, that is, the mon
grel race which form the Government element, and the
non-official world, consisting of the pure Turks, who
form the governed, inclusive of the army up to the rank
of sergeant. The official world, with self preservation in
view, have thrown themselves body and soul into the
hands of the Russians and will obey her behests against
England or any other Power, knowing that Russi8a alone
will, for her own purposes, protect them from the openly-
expressed resentment of their people. The non-official
Turks on the other hand, are savagely joyful at
the prospect of a war against Russia by England,
for they hope thereby to satisfy the two master passions
of their soul - viz; hatred of Russia, and hatred of their
rulers. It is essential to bear this bitter antagonism
between the official and non-official worlds in
view, for it is clear to me - and there is
not a non-official Turk who does not tell me
the same - that if England makes war with Russia, an
alliance, offensive and defensive, between Turkey and
Russia will mean nothing more than an alliance between
the present Turkish people will welcome England as their de
liverer, and will fight for her as faithfully as they would
have fought for their Sultans in days gone by. I am firm-
ly convinced that if England were to give the signal,
there would be a rising of the people and the army in her
favor,as against Russia, such as would astonish Europe.
They say that the Turks are demoralised. The official
world is so certainly in every sense, for wherever they
turn an abyss is before them, but the people are as eager
to fight as ever provided they can get leaders in whom
they can have confidence - leaders who will save them
from their present ruler, leaders who they hope will con-
tinue to lead them after peace is made. Believe me, sir,
this is the feeling of the pure Turk, who has as much
common sense and as little fanaticism as any European
race, and is above all governed by an intense anxiety to
be honestly ruled over."

whakamarama ano e au aku i mohio ai ki raro iho nei.
Tuatahi, kua tino rongo hoki ahau i etahi kai-whakamaori e

Tenei ano tetahi he e rangona ana e ahau o nga kai-whaka-

ko te ahua riro ke o tana taha ki to ratou taha Pakeha, ma te

iti a Witika kaumatua, ano ka rite te ra e puta ai te kupu a
Koki kia mutu aia, katahi ano nga hoa o Witika tamaiti ka
whakatika ki te hopu tangata, mo ratou hei pooti kia Witika,
me te karanga aua tangata i tenei kupu, ko Witika hei mema,

kaaro, ka whakaaro he pono ranei taua kupu, hei hoa a Wi-
tika mo te Kawanatanga, a be mea whakaae ano ranei e te
Hiana, roa noa e hurihuri ana, kii kitea he mea tito aua kupu,
tera ke ano te hoa o te Kawanatanga, e pai ai hei mema, tona
ingoa ko Makamini, heoi ano ka porangi i konei nga hoa o
Makamini, kia tuhi hoa ma Kerei ma, tino rerenga i rere ai,
ananaa me te mea ko Tawhirimatea e auru haere ana i te

ka tae noa aua nanakia nei ki te Maori tohe ai, me te korero
i a ratou nei korero e pai atu ai te Maori, otiia no te taha kia

ata titiro tonu nga Maori, ano ka tae ki tetahi hui i Whata-
whata, ka ata rongo nga Maori i nga kupu a Witika, i mea,
e kore e tika kia whai mana te Maori ki te pooti mema Pa-
keha, me te kupu i kiia ano e ahau, e maminga ana a Kerei
kia Tawhiao i Hikurangi mo nga whenua, heoi ena. Kua
mea te whakaaro a nga Maori, me pooti ratou kia Makamini,
to ratou hoa noho tahi, kaua ratou e pooti kia Witika, no te
mea, kei Piako ke ana whenua, ka mahi aia kia puta he pai
mo ona whenua anake, e kore hoki e pai kia pooti tatou kia
te Witika, ka tahuri mai ano ki te patu i nga pooti nana nei
aia i pooti, ano ka rite enei whakaaro a te Maori, ka tatari
marie i te ra o te pooti. I te 19 o nga ra o taua marama nei,
ka hemo a Anaru Patene, i te Mane ka rere mai a Meiha te
Wheoro i Areka kia kite i tana hoa tino aroha, kaore i kai, he

i mea hoki, ka utua e ia nga raruraru katoa a Anaru Patene,
ana pooti a Anaru ratou ko nga Maori mo Witika, i kite au i
reira i te wa i mate nei a Anaru,. i nui te whakaaro a Meiha
te Wheoro mo te mahi pooti, mo etahi atu mea ranei, heoi
ano taku i kite ai, ko te nui o tona mamae ki tona tino boa
kia Anaru Patene, he tino hoa rawa a Meiha te Wheoro raua
ko Anaru Patene, o roto mai ano i te whawhai a Waikato,
tae noa ki tona hemonga nei, kaore he wehenga ketanga o
raua whakaaro, me a raua mahi, mahi tahi tonu, tae noa ki
tona wehenga e te mate, mea ana a, Meiha te Wheoro, kua
keto te rama o Waikato, kua tata mai te pouri, ko ana mahi,
e kore e warewaretia i te ao e ia, no te 26 o nga ra, Ka hoki
atu a Meiha te Wheoro ki Areka, ko te ra tenei i nehua ai a
Anaru Patene, he nui te korero o te matenga o Anaru Patene,
