KUA tae mai te rongo o Tawahi o te tekau ma-tahi o
te marama o Aperira nei. a e ki ana taua rongo, kua
mate a Pihopa Herewini. E mohio ana te tini o nga
kaumatua Maori kia Pihopa Herewini, i te mea hoki,
kua rongo ratou i nga ra o mua, i a Pihopa e kauhau
ana i te Rongo-pai a Te Atua ki nga iwi Maori o
enei Motu, a ka tangi te iwi ki aia, kua ngaro nei i a
tatou. He tangata atamai a Pihopa ki nga tangata
haere atu ki a ia ui korero ai. He tangata a Pihopa
e ako tonu ana i te iwi i nga ra ona e noho ana i nga
motu nei ki te ako hei ora mo te tini. A he tangata
mohio aia, na reira tana ako ki te iwi i tika ai. He
mea hoki he tino tangata aia e inoino ana ki nga mea
katoa o te ao nei, a i mohio aia ki te ako tika i nga
mea mo tera ao. No te 31 o Aperira i te tau 1878 i
mate ai a Pihopa Herewini. A i te tau ona i mate
ai, kua tae ona tau ki te GO. I whanau hoki aia i te
tan 1809, i Ritimona, i Hari, i Ingarangi. He tama
aia na Wiremu Herewini, o Ritimona i Ingarangi, a
ko te kura i akona ai a Pihopa, ko te kura Kareti i
Etana i Kemureti. A he tangata aia i tino mohio ki
nga reo" katoa. A i te wa ona e ako ana i Winiha, i
kiia ai aia, hei Pihopa mo enei Motu i Nui Tireni i te
tau 1841. A i te wa ona i te kura e ako ana, he ta-
ngata kaha aia, he kaha tinana tona, he kaha mahara
ki te ako ano hoki. He tino tangata kaha aia ki te
haere, ki te kauhau, me nga mea katoa, e maia ai te
"uri Ariki hei kaha mona i ako ai i te iwi ki nga mea
tapu a te Atua. A kahore he mea o te ao nei, e kore

nga mea nui hei ora mo te iwi, a na taua maia ona.
me te mau tonu o tona manawa kaha ki te haere aia i
kaha ai ki te toro haere i nga iwi tinitini o nga Motu
nei. I mua, i nga wa o te hoiho ki ano i kitea, Lei mau
haere i te tangata ki nga nuku o te whenua. A i te
wa ona i kiia ai hei Pihopa mo Nui Tireni, kahore
ano he pukapuka ako i nga kupu o te reo Maori i
panuitia ki te iwi. He mea hoki, no te tau 1837 i
taia ai to whakamaoritanga o te Kawenata Hou ki te
reo Maori. A na nga minita o te Hahi o Ingarani i
mahi i Paihia i Tokerau. Engari no te tau 1820, i
taia ai e Te Rii, te pukapuka ako i te reo Maori. He
mea hoki, i kite a Te Rii i a Hongi Hika rana ko
Waikato, o Ngapuhi i a rana i haere nei ia Te Keene
i tatia tau ki Ingarangi. Otiia, ehara tana pukapuka
i te mea tika e ako ai te tangata i a ia ki te reo Ma-
ori, he mea hoki, Le pukapuka tapepa taua pukapuka
a Te Rii. A koia ra nga pukapuka tua-tahi i ako ai
a Pihopa Herewini i a ia ki te reo Maori. He mea a
ia i ako ai i a ia ki te reo Maori, he mea kia ako a ia i
ana iwi Maori, a kia mohio ai nga iwi i te ako a ana
ngutu ake, ki nga mea tapu a te Atua. A i aua ra, e
wha marama e rere mai ai to kaipuke i Ingarangi, ka
n mai ki enei Motu. A i aua marama e wha, i ako n
Pihopa i a ia ki te reo Maori. Ano ka u mai aia ki
enei Motu, i te ata o te Ratapu tua-tahi ona i uta, i
kauhau ai aia ki nga Maori i Paihia, a he reo Maori
te reo ona i kauhau ai, a he nui te mihi a nga Pakeha
ki te hohoro o Pihopa Herewini ki te ako i aia ki te reo
Maori. He miharo na nga Maori ki te reo Maori a Te
Pihopa, koia etahi o ratou i mea ai, i kitea Pihopa i te
Maori i hea, i mohio wawe ai aia ki te reo Maori. He
mea hoki, kotahi ano wiki ona i noho ai i nga Motu
nei, heoi, kua mohio rawa atu aia ki te reo Maori, a
ko etahi o nga Pakeha kua noho noa atu i konei, kaore
ratou e pera te mohio ki te reo Maori, me te mohio a
te tangata hou nei. I te tau o Pihopa Herewini i tae
mai ai ki konei, o 33 ona tau, a he nui noa atu tana
kaha ki te rapurapu tikanga, hei mahi ma te Haahi e
nui ai he ora ma te iwi. A i aua ra, ho tangata a
Pihopa i whakahe ki te Minita o te Atua, ana eke i te
hoiho hei kawe i aia ki te kauhau ki nga iwi. I mea
hoki a te Pihopa, he nui ano te kaha o nga waewae a
te tangata i hangaa e te Atua hei kawe i aia ki nga
whenua ke atu. A i mea etahi o nga Minita kauma-
tua a te Atua, kua ruhi ratou i te haerenga i nga ara
reporepo, i te mea he ara Maori nga ara o aua ra,
katahi nei hoki te ara rori a te Pakeha ka kitea ki
enei Motu. I whakaae ano etahi o nga Mihinare ki
te kupu a te Pihopa, ko etahi i whakahe. A i aua ra,
ki te mea ka eke te tangata i te hoiho, e kotahi ra aia
e haere atu ai i te Waimate ki Hokianga. A e kore
e po te ra a te Pihopa e haere ai i taua ara ka tae aia
ki Hokianga. Ano ka mahue te Waimate, a haere
mai ana a te Pihopa ma ki Tamaki (ara ki Akarana)
noho ai. kia po wha e tae ai te tangata ana haere atu
i Akarana ka tae ki Mangatawhiri. Otiia, he mea ano
po tahi a Pihopa i haere ai i taua ara ka tae aia ki
Akarana. He tangata kaha a te Pihopa ki te haere,
a i nga wa ona e haere ai ki te ako i nga iwi o nga
whenua ke noa atu, ka haere koia ki mua o tana ope

He mea hoki i haere mai taua Maori i taua kainga ki
te rapu i nga tangata kauhau i te kupu a te Atua.
He mea runanga marire e taua iwi o taua Motu, kia
haere taua tangata o ratou ki te toro i taua iwi kau-
hau i te Rongo-pai a te Atua. A i eke mai taua Ma-
ori hei heramana ki te kaipuke i rore mai ki Hokianga
ano ka u tana kaipuke ki reira, ka kite taua Maori i
te Apiha a te Kawanatanga, a na taua Apiha i tono
taua Maori kia Te Pihopa, a na Te Pihopa taua Maori
i kawe ano ki taua kainga i Pate. A tahuri katoa
taua iwi o tana Motu ki te karakia ki te Atua pono.
A na tana tangata i whakahokia nei e Pihopa i tino

te Pihopa ki te mahi i nga mahi ma te Atua.

THE LATE BISHOP SELWYN
THE news from England informs us of the death of
Bishop Selwyn. To most of our readers, especially to
those old chiefs who have seen and heard the late Bishop
preach the Word of God to the Maori people, this
news of his death will bring sorrow, as they at all
times could seek and obtain the advice and assistance
of him, of all others (from his superior knowledge,
and wide views of all that concerns not only the
future world, but also those tilings that pertain to this
world), was the most capable to give them, counsel.
The late Bishop died on the 11th. of April, 187S ; he
was then in his 69th year. He was born in Rich-
mond, in Surrey, in 1809, and. was the son of the late
William Selwyn, Esq., of Richmond. He was edu-
cated in Eton and St. John's College, Cambridge,
where he was distinguished as a classical scholar,
having been in the first class iu classics. While
i ding as tutor and curate at Windsor iu 1841 Le was
consecrated. Bishop of New Zealand. His college
life was distinguished by a robust power of body and
mind he was one of the most untiring walkers,
wrestlers, and swimmers ut the college. In deter-
mination, of purpose not any obstacle which the
intellect or bodily exercise could overcome could
deter him from accomplishing. These powers of
endurance gave him a superior position as the future
and the first Bishop of New Zealand. At the time
Le was appointed to that position in New Zealand
widen he so ably and fervently filled, there had been
little or no amount of information given to the world in
respect to the Maori language, as it was not till 1837
that a translation into the Maori language of the
New Testament had been published, which was accom-
plislied by the ministers of the Church of England
at Paihia, iu the Bay of Islands. There had, of
course, been published in 1820 a book which, was
drawn up by Professor Lee. from information and
observations obtained by him from Hongi and Wai-
kato, the Maori chiefs who visited England in that
year, purporting to be a grammar of the Maori lan-
guage, hut. the use of that volume by anyone learning
the Maori language would be sure to confound, them
iu their first attempt to obtain any information what-
ever as to the construction or the rules By. which the
Maori language is guided. With these two books
the late Bishop began, his study of the.language of
the people over whom he was to exercise the. duties
of a Christian teacher and Bishop, anxi to whom, in
their own language, he was to unfold the truths of
the everlasting God. The voyage iu those clays occu-
pied four months in passing from England to these
shores, and in that time, and with such help as the
indomitable Bishop had in the two books we have.
named, he had so far mastered the Maori language
that ou the morning of the first Sabbath which, he
spent in New Zealand he occupied the pulpit in the
church at Paihia and preached to a Maori congrega-
tion in their own tongue. Those of the European
public who were in the congregation on that occasion.
who, from a long residence in New Zealand, were
perfectly competent to judge on the subject, spoke in
the most glowing terms of the very able and clear.
manner, and the perfect command of the Maori, lan-
guage which, the late Bishop exhibited on that occa-.
sion. Some of the old chiefs asked where the new.
teacher of God had seen the Maori people, and how
he had learnt their language so soon—he had not .
been one week in New Zealand, and he could speak
better than some Europeans who had been with, the
Maori people for many years. When the late Bishop
first landed on these shores he was in his 33rd year—
young, active, and full of hope, and concocting plans
of action for the future good of the Church. One of
the first reforms he desired to accomplish was to
declaim against all and every use by man, especially
the ministers of the Gospel, of the horse as a means
of conveyance for man from place to place. The .
Bishop argued that man, with the locomotive power
given to him by his Maker, was sufficient for any and
every emergency iu travelling, Such doctrine in
regard to the horse was looked on with dismay by
some of the old Missionaries, who had for years
plodded through swamps and mud in the Maori
tracks (there were not any roads then ) to visit the
various tribes to whom they preached. Those old and
good men (before horses had been introduced into
New Zealand) had spent the strength and fire of their
youth on such tracks through forest, over swamps
and across creeks and rivers and

the journey from Te Waimate to Hokianga occupied
a whole day on horseback, but to a traveller on foot
it would necessitate a few hours of the night ere he
could gain his journey's end, The late Bishop has
often walked it in less time than any other pedestrian
could perform it in. And when the head-quar-
ters of the Church. Mission was removed from
Te Waimate to Auckland, at that time it took
the good people of those times four days to
go from Auckland to Point Russell (then called
Mangatawhiri), but it has been known for the
late Bishop to pass over that distance iu one summer's
day, taking the time from daybreak to sunset. The
Bishop was a great traveller, and on all occasions
when he bad a journey which would occupy ordinary
travellers a few days he invariably pushed on, and left
his Native attendants to follow. He always carried
ia his own hand an air bed made of indiarubber,
which, as he came to the rivers and creeks in his
journey, he inflated, patting his clothes on the bed,
and swimming, he pushed the bed before him. Thus
he has been known to go in one day the distance
which his Maori companions took three days to travel,
so that at the time his followers came into the pas
which they had gone to visit, the late Bishop had
not only preached many times to the people
of the pas, but bad transacted all the business
for the Church, which bad occasioned his visit.
On one occasion, ho had travelled from Raglan (then
known as Whaingaroa) across the mountains to
the Waipa, a distance which occupied ordinary travel-
Iers a whole day; but the Bishop, with his bed, had not
only crossed the mountain track all alone, but he had
swam across the Waipa river, with the aid of his air
bed, to the house of a Mr. Cowell, who was one of
the oldest European settlers in that district. It was
early morning (about 8 o'clock), and as the Bishop
had to pass close to Cowell's he called, tapping at the
door, and asked if the old settler had had his morning
meal. The question so astonished Cowell, awaking
from his sleep, that he answered in the negative.
The Bishop bid him good morning, after informing
Cowell from whence he came, in answer to a question
put by Cowell to that effect. The Bishop passed ou
to the Maori pa, where he was received with, every
mark of pleasure by the Maori people, where he
broke Ms fast on that which, in those days could be
supplied by the Natives, viz.,potatoes and eels. Tea and
bread were things unknown in those days in a Maori pa,
unless the European traveller had them in his own havre-
sack, which, in most instances in regard to the Bishop
were miles behind him on the back of his Native
guide. The marked interposition of Providdnce in
opening the way for the Bishop to preach and teach.
the Natives of the islands of these seas was strikingly
shown in one instance. A Government officer was in
the Hokianga district ou a mission from the old Land
Claims Commissioner,and while there his influence was
asked to interpose between the sailors of a vessel then
iu Hokianga and a Native of one of the islands of
the South. Sea. This officer, by permission of the
captain of the vessel, obtained an interview with the
Native. As this Native spoke some words of his own
language similar to the Maori, the Government officer
after * little time could converse with him, and from
the account given by this Native it was learnt that he
was a native of an island called Fate, that his people i
had heard from some white men that there was only \\
one God, and as the Native (or Maori) priests of the
people of Fate had for some time become of their own.
accord dissatisfied with their own superstitions and
incantations, he (this Native) had been sent away, by
order of a council of all his people, in a whaler from
their own island in search of the people who could
tell them of this one God of all the world. This
Native had been in Sydney, but us he was not allowed
to go on shore he had not found what he was in quest
of; he had been to many parts iu various lands, in
fact it was seven years since he had left his home.
The Government officer obtained his discharge from
the vessel, and sent him in charge of the mail-man to
Te Waimate, with a letter explaining all the circum-
stances given above to the late Rev. R. Davies, who
forwarded him on to Auckland to the late Bishop Sel
wyn. The Bishop, who by this time had learnt many of
the languages spoken on the various islands of the
South Sea, learnt from this Native the whole history
of his travels, and when the Church Mission schooner.
Southern Cross, went on her next voyage the Bishop
took the Native to his home. The return of the long
absent one in company with the man of God was
hailed by all the people of the island of Fate with the
joy that words can not express. We have spoken to
the late Bishop on the subject, and learnt from his
own lips that this Native was the means of opening
taore doors to the Church through which the word of
God could be proclaimed to the savage population of
the South. Seas than any other means.
Our space compels us to hold over very many anec-
dotes of the late Bishop, which we hope to give in
some future issue.

kia he rawa ake te he a Ruhia ki Ingarangi, ma aua
kaipuke e tiki, e mahi he nga kaipuke uta taonga a
nga iwi a Ingarangi, kia wawe ai te he o te Iwi Inga-
rangi i te kore taonga rao ratou. He tikanga mahi
tahae taua whakaaro a nga iwi o Ruhia, no te
mea, e kore te iwi ngaki kai a te Ingarangi e tae ki
te whawhai, a e kore e tika kia rahua nga kaipuke
uta taonga a te iwi Ingarangi e Ruhia.

aia e tae ki taua Hui. A e kiia ana, ki te mea ka
hui te Hui a Kawana Kerei kia Tawhiao, hei muri o
taua Hui te kite ai a Rewi i a Kawana Kerei, i te mea,
he Hui ke ano te Hui a Maniapoto e korero ai kia
Kawana Kerei. E kiia ana, ko a te Mane a Kawana
Kerei te tae ai ki Waikato. He Hui nui rawa te
Hui ka tu nei ki Hikurangi.

NGA IKA PAKEHA I TE ROTO I WAITO-
TARA E KIIA NEI KO WAIKATO.
Kua nui te maha o te ika Pakeha i tukua ki te roto
e Waikato i Waitotara, he mea hoki, he tini nga ika
nui kua kitea e tere ana i roto i taua wai.
NGA HOIA U HOU MAI O INIA.
He nui noa atu te koa o te iwi i Mata, i te ra i u
ai nga hoia o Inia ki taua wahi.
HOKIANGA.
No te taenga a te Kawana ki Hokianga, i tino
powhiritia ai aia e Ngapuhi. He iwi manaaki a
Ngapuhi i te Kawanatanga o te Kuini, a ko te mahi a
Ngapuhi i tautoko ai i te mahi pai a Kuini i nga ra o
te Kawana Hopihana i u mataati mai ai ki enei motu,
e mau tonu nei i Ngapuhi. 1 tu te Hakari kai i nga
tino Pakeha o Hokianga ma te Kawana, a ko nga
kaipuke Wiwi e tu ana i Hokianga, i pupuhi i a ratou
purepo mo te Kawana, a i tae aua purepo i puhia ra
ki te 21 (e rua te kau ma tahi). Ko te maha hoki
era o te purepo e puhipuhi ai te iwi mo te Kuini. He
nui te huri a aua iwi mo te Kawana i Hokianga.
TENEI MEA TE MERENI.
E kiia ana. kua mahi te Amerikana i te mereni hei
Huka, e kinakia nei ki te Tii. A he hinu utu nui e
mahia anu i te kakano o te mereni, a he waipiro o te
peha ano o te mereni.
TE KUPU A RUHIA.
Kua ki nga ope hoia a Ruhia e noho aua i te taha o
te Pa i Kotatinopera, kia kaua ratou e haere ki te
karakia i roto i taua Pa. He mea pea, i kitea te take
o ta ratou whakaaro, koia ratou i mea ai, rae rautu ta
ratou mahi nukarau.
TE KUPA A INGARANGI, MO TE TIKANGA
A RUHIA 1 MEA NEI, KI TE KAIPUKE
TERE HEI MAHI HE I NGA KAIPUKE
UTA TAONGA A INGARANGI.
E kiia ana kua mea te kupu a te Kawanatanga o
Ingarangi. Kia mahia e te iwi o Ingarangi, nga kai-
puke tino tere ma ratou, a kia 100 (kotahi rau) o aua
kaipuke, hei whawhai, a hei hopu i nga kaipuke a
Ruhia, ana puta te mahi a Kuhia, mo nga kaipuke ata
taonga a Ingarangi.
TE KUPU O TE IWI O INGARANGI.
E ki ana te kupu a te iwi nui o Ingarangi. Ki te
mea ka mahia e Kuhia he kaipuke hei rahu i a ratou
kaipuke uta taonga, a ki te mea ka mau etahi o nga
kaipuke a Ruhia i a Ingarangi. Ka mahia nga Ruhia
o aua kaipuke ki te tikanga o te Ture e mahia ai te
tangata kohuru. Ana he mate rawa ata ki te po te
ar» e mahia aia nga tangata o ana kaipuke Ruhia e
Ingarangi.
RUHIA RAUA KO INGARANGI,
Aperira 3O, 1878. Kahore ano i ahua pai te tika-
nga a Ruhia ki te kupu tono a Ingarangi, kia houhia
te rongo a Ruhia kia Take. Otiia e mau tonu ana te
korero a Ingarangi kia Ruhia, kia pai ai a Ruhia ki te
hohou i ta raua rongo.
NGA HOIA O INGARANGI.
Kua mahi nui le iwi o Ingarangi i etahi o ratou hei
hoia, a kua tu taua hapu hoia o ratou. E kiia ana,
ahakoa i kiia aua hoia hei tiaki i te marae o Ingarangi
ki te mea ka kino te he a Ruhia kia Ingarangi, ka
haere ana hoia hei tino tangata ki te whawhai kia
Kuhia, hei tautoko i te ope nui mo te whawhai.
NGA HOIA O TE IWI I INGARANGI.
Kua tu te ope hoia a te lwi, a kua tae aua hoia ki
te 8,000 (e waru mano). Na te iwi te hiahia ki aua
hoia nei, a na te Kuini i whakaae to hiahia a te iwi.
Ka pai ano kia tu te iwi hei mahi i nga mea hei ora
mo ratou, he mea hoki, ko te mana o to iwi e tupu
nui ai, a e ora ai te iti me te rahi.
NGA KUPU ATE KAI TUHI KORERO O TE
NUPEPA TE HERARA.
Akarana Mei 1. E ki ana te kai tuhituhi korero
mo Te Nupepa Te Herara, kua korero aia ki a Rewi
Maniapoto, mo te hui meake nei tu ki Hikurangi, a e
mea ana taua kai tuhituhi, i ki atu a Rewi ki aia, e
kore a Rewi o tae ki te hui i Hikurangi. Ma te tono
a Kawana Kerei ranei, a Te. Hiana te Minita Maori
ranei kia tae ki aia ki a Rewi, he tono na raua kia
haere a Rewi ki taua hui, ka haere ai a Rewi ki te
hui. A e ki aua ano taua kai tuhituhi korero ki te
Nupepa te Herara i mea atu a Rewi ki aia. Na
Tawhiao ratou ko Waikato i karanga tana hui i Hiku
rangi kia tu, a kahore kau he take a Rewi mo taua
hui, e hara i aia tana hui i karanga, a e mea ana a
Rewi, kia waiho a Waikato, kia Waikato ana mahi.
A e ki ana ano taua kai tuhituhi i mea atu a Rewi ki
aia. Kahore kau ana a Rewi mohio ki nga mahi e
mahia nei e Waikato, hemea hoki na Rewi e kore &
hoki nga whenua a Waikato kia Waikato. A e mea
ana taua kai tuhituhi korero, i mea a Rewi ki aia, e
mea ana pea a Waikato, ka whakahokia ano nga whe-
nua a Waikato kia ratou kia Waikato ano, otiia kahore
kau ana a Rewi mohio pera, ara, e hoki nga whenua a
Waikato kia Waikato tangata. A e mea ana ano taua
kai tuhituhi, i mea a Rewi ki aia, ki te mea ka haere
aia a Rewi ki tana hui, ana tonoa aia e Kawana Kerei
ranei, e Te Hiana ranei, he mea nana na Rewi, e kore
e kiia nana te tikanga o taua hui, i te mea e ki ana
aia a Rewi kia korero aia anake, mo ana mahara mo-
te whenua i Otautehanga. He mea hoki, he kupu ta
Rewi mo taua whenua. A e mea ana ano taua kai
tuhituhi, i mea a Rewi, e kore aia a Rewi e pai kia
kiia e nga Minita o te Kawanatanga, he haere ta Rewi
ki taua hui i Hikurangi ki te korero i ana ku mo te
whenua i Otautehanga. Koia ra te take ona o Rewi i
kore ai e pai kia haere ki taua hui i Hikurangi, a ma
te tono a Kawana Kerei ranei, a Te Hiana ranei, kia
haere ai ki taua hui, ka haere ai aia a Rewi ki taua
hui. A i mea taua kai tuhituhi, i penei nga kupu ft
Rewi ki aia ki taua kai tuhituhi. I whakahe tonu a
Rewi i te mahi whakatu Kingi Maori, a he mea tohe
tonu aia e te tangata, koia aia i ahua whakaae ai kia
tu te Kingi Maori, a i ahua mahi ai ano hoki aia mo
taua Kingi kia tu.
E ki ana ano taua kai tuhi korero, e mea ana te
rongo korero, ko a Te Paraire te tae ake ai a Kawana
Kerei ki Hikurangi. A e kiia ana tetahi take korero
e korero ai nga Maori i taua hui, ke mea kia mutu te

kani Pakeho, he mea hoki kua mohio te Maori ki
taua tu mahi a te Pakeha. Ko te utu e tapoko ni to
Maori ki tana kanikani he rua hereni (2) mo te Maori
kotahi. Na te Maori ano i karanga taua utu. He
pai te tikanga i maina ai tana kanikani. Kahore he
kupu amuamu, a kahore he whawhai. Kahore he aha
a ana Maori, i tana mahi takaro a ratou.
No te ra nei no te 1 o Mei, i hapainga ai te ope

konei. A e hoki mai a Meiha Te Wheoro ki te toro i a
Kawana Kerei, a ma Meiha Te Wheoro e arahi a

WHAT THE HERALD REPORTER STATES.
A telegram from Auckland, dated May 1. says:—
The Herald reporter has telegraphed respecting an
interview which he has had with Rewi on the subject
of the Native meeting, which, he said he would not
attend, unless he were asked by Sir George Grey or
Mr. Sheehan. The meeting he said was called by
Tawhiao and the Waikatos, not by him, and he had
nothing to do with it. He desired, to leave the Wai-
katos alone. He knew nothing of what was being
done. He did not believe that the land of Waikato
would be restored to the Natives. Perhaps the Wai-
katos had some idea that it might be restored, but he
tad none. The reason why he would go, in the
event of being asked by the Primier or the Native
Minister was that iu such case he would not be
identified with the meeting, which would understand
that Ministers wished to arrange with him grievances
in reference to Otauhenanga. Rewi had a special
grievance about that land. He would not give Minis-
ters the opportunity of saying that they wished to
meet him about that, and that he would not come.
He had always opposed the idea of setting up a Maori
King, but, when persuaded, he had taken an active
part in the movement.
It is expected that the Premier will leave here for
Hikurangi on Friday. One subject which the Na-
tives will propose at the forthcoming meeting will be
an enactment next session to stop all purchases of
land outside the confiscated boundary.
A telegram from Alexandra, dated May 1, states :
Last night the Natives assembled here engaged the
public hall for a quadrille party. About 40 attended,
the tickets being 2s. The ladies were well dressed,
and all seemed to know the figures. The whole affair
was conducted with decorum.
The whole of the lower Waikatos and Kingites in
this locality left this morning for Hikurangi. Major
Te Wheoro will return so as to meet Sir G. Grey on
his arrival here.—H. B Herald.
HE KUPU AUE, A HE KUPU TONO NA NGA
TAKE KI NGA IWI O KUINI WIKITORIA, KIA
WHAKAORANGIA RATOU E NGA IWI O TE
INGARANGI.
Na tetahi Take, kei te Pa o Kuini i Ingarangi nga kupu
nei, he tono nana ki nga iwi o te Kuini kia mahia he naahi
e nga iwi o Ingarangi, kia ora ai nga Take i nga tini mate
e taami nei ki nga Take. A koia nei nga kupu a taua
Take. " E kii ana nga kupu rongo korero o taku iwi, kua
tao mai nei ki au i to matou Pa i Katatinopera, he tino
nui, he mate kino te mato u pa nei ki nga iwi i oma atu ki
taua Pa, kia ora ai ratou i te patu a Ruhia. E ono tekau
nga Takiwa whenua kua mate rawa i te Ruhia te patu.
A kahore kau he kai, kahore he whare e kai ai, a e noho
ai aua iwi i whati atu i aua Takiwa ki te Pa nui. A he
kore whare e noho ai nga wahine, nga tamariki, nga tino
kau-matua, koia, ana whati i to wehi a te patu, i moe
whare kore ai i te koraha. A he nui te kopeke o aua iwi
i te ngaunga n te huka, a te matao o te Hotoke. A e ki
ana nga kupu a te pukapuka a aua iwi, kua tae te maha o
ratou ki te toru tekau mano wahine, tamariki, me nga
koroheke e noho aua i te taha o te ara o te rerewe atu ano
i te Pa nui a te Take i Kotatinopera, a tae noa ai te Pai
Atiranopera. A kahore he kai, kahore he kakahu, kahore
he wahi e noho ai aua morehu n te patu. Heoi ano te
mahi a taua mano tini he aue, i te hiakai, i te ngaunga a
te makariri, a, kahore kau he mea o ora ai aua mano tini
i te Take, i te mea kua mate tu iwi i te Kuhia. E ki ana
te korero a etahi o aua tangata, i te wa i whati mai ai
etahi o ratou i o ratou kaainga. E waru tekau hapu no
ratou, he hapu tino tangata no to Take, i kore he wahi
e eke ai ratou ki te rerewe, e rore ai ratou i te patu
a te Ruhia, a he kawenga na te wehi i a Ruhia
koia aua tini tangata, te wahine, te tamariki te koroheke,
i whakamomori ni, a takoto wharoro ai ratou i runga
tonu o te ara o te rerewe, kia mute ai ratou i te rerewe,
kia motu rere ai o ratou kaki i te rerewe, kia wawe ai
ratou te mate, kei ngau roa te hiakai, me te kopeke i a
ratou. A na etahi ano o ratou o te iwi Take, i too haere
aua tangata e whakamomori ra kia kore ni e mate. He
mate te mate o te iwi Tako i te hiakai. He mea hoki,
kihai te Ruhia i titiro ki te aha. ki te aha. He mea tahu
katoa nga kai, nga whare katoa o te iwi Take e te
Kuhia. He iwi Ariki te Ingarihi he iwi oha ki
nga iwi mate o te ao, he iwi e tautoko ana i
te hunga i te mate, koia ahau te Take e noho
nei i a koutou i te iwi o Kuini i Ingarangi i tono ai
kia puta ta koutou nui, ta koutou aroha ki taku iwi e tangi
auere nei kia koutou. Ue iwi oha te iwi o Kuini ki te
hunga e patua ana e te hoa riri. Koia ahau i mea ai, ma
taku tono ka puta ai he mahi ma koutou mo taku iwi e
ora ai i te kai, a i te kakahu. He iwi tino atawhai te iwi
o Kuini, a e kore a te Kuini e titiro ki te mate o nga iwi
ke, ka noho puku ai a te Kuini, e puta ana ano te aroha o
te Kuini rae ana iwi 1d ona hoa whawhai, koia ahau i
mea ai. E hoa ma e te iwi o te Kuini o Ingarangi, kia
aroha koutou ki taku iwi ki nga Take, tukua e koutou he
kai, me te kakahu ma aku iwi e patua mai nei e te mate
kai, e te makariri. He nui te mate o aku iwi, ehara i te
mea he tangata anake e mate mai nei, he wahine, he ta-
mariki, he koroheke, ko te hunga e kore nei e kaha ki
te mahi kai ma ratou ake. A ma te Atua koutou te iwi o
Kuini e atawhai mo ta koutou aroha ki taku iwi, e kore
hoki e mutu te inoi o te ngakau mo koutou ko te Kuini o
Ingarangi ana puta he kai ma koutou ki taku iwi. E
mea ana ahau, he iwi toa koutou teiwi o Kuini, be iwi
maia ki te mahi, he iwi nui to koutou aroha ki te pani, fa
te pouaru. Koia ahau i mea ai, ka mana i a koutou taku
tono e tono nei ki to kai, ki te kakahu mo taku iwi mo te
Take. A ki te mea ka mana i a koutou taku tono, e kore
e mutumutu te aroha o taku iwi nui katoa kia koutou ki
te iwi o te Kuini o Ingarangi. He mea hoki, e mohio ana
matou ko taku iwi, ko nga iwi o te Kuini o Ingarangi te

AN APPEAL FROM THE TURKS TO THE ENGLISH
NATION FOR HELP.
Midhat Pasha, who is now in London, has made the
following appeal to the English nation :—" According to
the latest news which has come from Constantinople, it
appears that the state of the fugitives and emigres is of
the most distressing, and most pitiful character. Terri-
fied by former massacres, more than sixty districts have
been deserted by the Mussulman families on the approach
of the enemy. These crowds of fugitives arc huddled
together in the capital and in other towns, but the later
arrivals cannot by any means obtain shelter for their
weary heads, so they are scattered over the open country
in the midst of the frost and snow. A despatch brings
the intelligence that from 25,000 to 30,000 souls—women,
children, and aged folk—are scattered along the railway
between Adrianople and Constantinople without resources.
without shelter, weeping, groaning:, striving painfully in
the midst of the most terrible sufferings ; and as an evi-
dence of their desperate condition, I venture to give the
following instance :—Among the fugitives from Nisch
and Pirot, who reached Bazardjik after terrible suffering,
to take the train, there were eighty families of persons of
condition who could not obtain room in the carriages then
about to leave. Overcome by despair, the old men, the
women, and the children lay down ou the vails of the
line, preferring to be crushed by the engine wheels to the
endurance of further suffering. Force bad to be used to
take them from the jaws of certain death. This single
fact should be sufficient to prove to what an extremity
their sufferings had reduced them. The English nation,
which is the admiration of the world, and especially of
the Turkish people, who will for ever feel grateful to
them, has, from the beginning of the war, lavished its
beneficient charity upon our wounded and suffering ; but
I ara certain that, in the face of a state of things so de-
plorable. and of events so unexampled in history, the
heart will be stirred to humanitarian feeling, not of noble
England alone, but of the whole world—yes, even the
heart of the enemy himself. When we reflect that the
greater number of the fugitives are women, children,
aged men, and invalids, who are exposed to the vigors of
this severe season, deprived of everything and abandoned
to misery, our hearts are overcome. There can certainly
be no charity more meritorious or more truly to be
looked upon as a humane act than the alleviation of the
sufferings of these poor creatures. Submitting to the
noble English nation this deplorable, disastrous, and
heartrending state of tilings, I am firmly convinced that
they will make fresh efforts to assist and to alleviate tut
sufferings of those who will bless them and be grateful
to their benefactors."\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
