o te iwi o Romenia. Kia Kotikowha te Piriniha o
Ruhia, mo te kupu a Ruhia, kia tangohia nga pu a
nga iwi o Romenia. E ki atu ana taua Piriniha
Hare. E pai ana kia haere te Ruhia ki te tiki i nga
pu o taua iwi, otiia, i te mea e ora ana te tangata
kotahi o taua iwi, ka pupuri tonu ratou ki a ratou pu.
engari, kia mate katoa te iwi ki te mate tupapaku.
Ko a ratou pu, me riro i a Ruhia te tango atu i te

Pakeha i a Kingi, nana na Kingi i tukupunga te tupa-
paku ki te moana, a ko te rino i patua ai te tupapaku

o Kingi.
NGA HOIA NOHO PA O INGARANGI.

te pu ki o ratou ringa ringa mau haere ai, he mea
ako kia mohio ai ratou ki te pupuhi, a kia tu te mea
e pupuhi atu ai ratou. A he nui noa atu nga ra aana
hoia i pupuhi ai ki nga tohutohu, e mohio ai ratou ki
te pupuhi tika. A kua tino mohio tana ope katoa ki
te pupuhi tika. A ko te ope pupuhi purepo, he iwi

O te ope hoia marihia 175,000 (kotahi rau e whitu

THE BRITISH VOLUNTEERS.
According to all accounts the number of our volun-
teers is still on the increase. So far as can be ascer-
tained from the reports of commanding officers
furnished during the past month to the War Office,
they amount to upwards of 175,000 men, all of whom
have fulfilled the obligations required by the Field
Marshal Commanding-in- Chief from the efficient
volunteers.

ridge at the butts. Or if he has not actually
expended so many rounds, it. is because ho has proved i
himself a crack shot iu the first score emptied from 1
his rifle. The artillery volunteers, again, arc not
simply gentleman soldiers. To earn the capitation
grant and become enrolled among the available de-
fenders of his country, a volunteer artilleryman must
have taken his turu at serving the big guns attached
to his battery, or must Lave proceeded to one of the
coast forts or to Shoeburyness to become practically
acquainted with the working and training of heavy
cannon. We do not expect them to act as field bat-
teries or horse artillery, but the gunners are instructed
in all the duties of coast and garrison artillery. Of
cavalry we have but a few hundred among the volun-
teers ; the deficiency in reserve horsemen is made up,
however, by the yeomanry, who are supposed to
muster upwards of 14,000 sabres. These, with, the
malitia, represent our second line of defence, which
may be stated in round numbers at no less than
300,000 men of all ranks. Thus, of militia, infantry,
and artillery, we have 115,000, of yeomanry cavalry
14,000, and of volunteers 175,000. Bruce Herald,
TE NUPEPA MAORI I TURANGA.
E kiia ana kua mutu te whakaaro a Te Wepa raua
ko Te Pota, kia mahia he Nupepa Maori e raua, he
mea hoki pea, ho Nupepa Maori ano ta te Maori ake, a
nao whea ano te Nupepa Maori a te Pakeha e mahi ai,
e puta ranei he ako hou a te Pakeha i ana o ako
potatu ra i nga Nupepa a te Pakeha i mahi ai i mua.
A KAWANA KEREI RAUA KO MATUTAERA
E kiia ana ko te 3O o Aperira nei te tu ni te hui
korero a Waikato kia Kawana Kerei ma. Te take i
roa ai. he mea kia nui he kai ma te. hui. a koia ra te
take i roa ai taua hui, te tu wawe ai i nga ra kua
pahure nei.
TE HE A RUHIA.
E kiia ana, e kore pea e roa, ka whakaae a Ruhia ki
te kupu tono a nga iwi o te ao nei, kia mutu te tohe a
Ruhia ki ana he e mahi nei kia Take.
TE HE I TE KEEPA O KURU-HOPA.

tana whenua, a kua tu te riri a aua iwi ki nga Pakeha.
Ue nui hoki te mate a aua iwi ana turia ki te parekura
i le Pakeha.

tonu te whakaaro he a Ruhia, me whawhai he mahi e
puta ai he tika ki nga iwi e noho ora, ui i nga tau e
haere ake nei. A e mea ana hoki nga iwi o Ataria, e
tika aua te kupu a nga iwi a Kuini. A kua ahua
hopohopo te whakaaro a Ruhia ki ana mahi e mahi
nei.
NGA UTU A RUHIA E TONO NEI KIA UTUA
E TAKE KIA RUHIA MO TE RONGO KIA

rau e ono te kau tana weti rae te hawhe,). A penei,
kia 2000, (E rua mano) Hoiho ma ratou e too taua
moni ka taea ai te too haere, i te mea hoki he tino tai-
maha aua moni.
WAR INDEMNITY DEMANDED OF TURKEY.
The Bendigo Independent has been at the trou-
ble to make the following interesting calculations
in reference to the war indemnity demanded of Tur-
key :—" In the first place, it represents — round
numbers being calculated—one-fourth of the English.
National Debt. In regard to the English National
Debt, U has been proved that there is not enough
coined money in the world to pay it off. The amount
is .£750,000,000. Consequently, to pay the war in-
demnity required of Turkey, at least one-third of the
world's coinage will be required. The indemnity re-
presents almost to a fraction four times the amount of
gold produced in the Australian continent during the
last 25 years. The amount asked for represents,
according to the value of Bendigo sold, no less than
50,000.000 oz., or, say the product of all our mines
for one hundred years to come, calculated on the
average returns of the goldfields during the past five
years. The weight of such a quantity would be
18GO one-eighth tons, or, iu other words, a load equal
to that which 2000 horses could draw from Sandhurst
to Castlemaine in one day. The actuarial mind is
lost in calculating such figures ; but enough can Le
gathered from them for us to be thankful that we are
not Turkey, and that our near neighbors are not the
Russians. Calculated on the population of Victoria,
it would represent a tax of .£250 per head for every
man, woman, and child in the colony.
MATUTAERA.
K kiia aua i te wiki tuarua o Aperira nei, he nui to
mate o Matutaera Tawhiao, a he mea tiki he rongoa
mana i nga Pakeha o Areka i Waikato, ko tenei kua
matutu tana mate, a kua ora aia.
KA.WANA KEREI.
Ue mea pea, i hoha, a i ruhi te tinana a Kawana
Kerei i a ia e haere nei kia kite i nga iwi o nga tini
wahi o nga Motu nei, i ahua turoro ai aia i enei ra.
Ho mea i haere a Kawana Kerei ki te Kawau noho
ai i nga wiki kua, pahure nei, kia ora, ake ai aia, a kia
kaha ai ano tana tiima ki te mahi i nga mahi nui a te
Kawanatanga.
i NGA IWI O TE AO.
E kiia ana ko te iwi o Ruhia e tae ana ki te
85,0.^5,940, (E waru te kau ma rima Miriona, o ono
rau e waru te kaa ma rima mano, o iwa rau e wha te
kau ma ono.)

were lost, and many vessels wrecked. A correspon-
dent from Rarotonga on March. 5th says:—"Oue of
the Society's vessels which has recently arrived from
Tahiti reports that Anan, one of the Paumoto Lagoon
'Islands, has been completely swept by a hurricane
and tidal wave. Houses, trees, stores, and inhabi-
tants were all gone. Mr. Bosie, trading agent for
Messrs. Branders, of Tahiti, escaped with a few-
others. The greater portion of the group is devas-
tated, and 400 or 500 lives lost, besides several
vessels."—An eye-witness at Paupeke writes :—The
water swept overland, sweeping away every thing, and
we retreated to the highest point—about 20 feet
-above the sea level. Fortunately, the cyclone abated
when the water was within two feet of us, The
Tahiti Government sent a man-of-war to our aid.
The island of Kaukira suffered most, losing 117
people and all its houses and boats. Messrs Branders
lost three schooners, oue cutter, and 12 boats, beside
the whole establishment; at Anau. The cyclone con-
tinued from the 7th February to the 8th."—Bruce
Herald.
NGA NGAHERE KAURI.
No te huihuinga n ta Runanga tiaki i nga whenua o te
Takiwa ki to iwi i Akarana, a Te Rata Kemara i mea atu
ai ki taua Runanga. He mea naku ki te nui o nga whenua
Ngahere Kauri kua riro i te tini o nga iwi, a he iti no nga
Ngahere Kauri e toe ana, hei tiaki ma te Hunanga mo te
iwi. A he mea naku, ko te nui o te Kauri e maina nei e
nga Mira hei papa hunga whare ma te iwi e kitea i nga i
whenua kua oti te tuku hei mahi ma te iwi, e kii ana 1
ahau, me mutu tu riihi a te Runanga nei i te whenua i
Ngahere Kauri ma te iwi. he mea hoki kia kore ai e pau
wawe nga rakau Kauri o nga motu nei. A ho mea kei
•maumau te mahi a te iwi i nga rakau Kauri e tukua ana
hei rakau mahi whare ma te iwi. A kei pau to nui
Ngahere te tun, kei raki te whenua, i te mea ma te
Ngahere e ahua makuku ai te whenua.— Ka mea te
Tiamana o taua Runanga, ki te mea ka kiia te korero a
Te Rata Kemara hei Ture, penei, ka raru etahi o nga kai-
mahi Mira kaui rakau. no te mea, he nui nga moni
a aua kai-mahi Mira kaui rakau, kua pau i a ratou te utu,
hei hoko Mira kani rakau, a ki te mea ka whakamutua ta
ratou mahi, ta aua kai kani rakau, ka maumau kau nga
moai kua utua ki ana Mira kani rakau. Ka mea ano Te
Tiamana, taihoa ano te korero a Te Rata Kemara, he mea
hoki kia tae mai te reta a Te Hepa ki te Runanga nei,
kia mohiotia ai ano hoki nga kupu a Te Hepa mo aua
Mira, me aua Ngahere Kauri.
KAURI FORESTS.
At a meeting of the Auckland Waste Lands Board, Dr. I
Cambell's motion was brought on as follows " In view
of the return laid before the Board, showing the large
area of forest laud already alienated and the compara-
tively limited area of kauri forest under the control of the
Waste Lands Board ; and considering that the necessary
supply of timber required by the public can be produced
from said alienated lands, the Board consider it for the
best interests of the district that no further leases of
kauri forest land be at present granted. In passing this
resolution the Board has further in view the detrimental
climatic effect which the wholesale destruction of existing
forests would inevitably produce."—The Chairman said
that a Mr Shepherd bad called on him. He intended
sending a letter to the Board, pointing out how certain
parties who had spent several thousand pounds on ma-
chinery would be injured if the motion was passed. He
would suggest the postponement of the consideration oi
the resolution till Mr. Shepherd's letter was received.-—
Dr. Campbell had no objection, and the subject was post-
poned till next meeting.—Weekly News.
HE MEA HEI RAPURAPU MA TE IWI KATOA.
Kotahi mea nei kua kitea ki te whenua i Amerika, ko
taua mea he puna, a he paruparu a repo nei te mea e pupu
ake ana i aua puna, a ko tetahi wahi mea o taua paruparu
he hiriwa moni nei. A he nui noa atu te pai, me te utu o
te hiriwa i taua paru. A no te mahinga o te paru o aua
puna, he mea ano e puta ana te hiriwa e tae ana ki te £1
(Pauna moni kotahi.) mo te taua taimaha, kotahi o taua
paru, a he mea ano e tae ana ki te 460, (E wha rau e ono
te kau pauna moni,) mo te tana paru kotahi. A kei nga
wa o te makariri, e kore e nui he hiriwa e puta ake i te
paruparu o aua puna, tena i te wa o te raumati, i te wa e
ahua werawera arm, he nui rawa te hiriwa e puta ake ana
i te paru o ana puna. E Ui aua a Takuta Hakina, he me»
ano i te wa makariri, ko te paruparu o te puna nui, e ahua
kowhai ana te ahua o te paruparu o taua puna, a kahore
kau he hiriwa i te paruparu i aua ra. i nga ra e ahua ko-
whai aua te ahua o te paruparu. Otiia i nga wa e maha-
na ana i te raumati ko te ahua o te paruparu e ahua ruanga
ana, kei ana ra, ka nui te hiriwa i roto i te paruparu e
konatu ana. A kei te tu a ahiahi o nga ra mahana te tino

A NATURAL CURIOSITY.
A natural curiosity has been discovered in Wasco
County, Oregon, United States. It is nothing less than
several springs of mud which contain a very large per-
centage of silver in a free state. Samples of it have been
analysed, and found to contain from £1 to £460 worth of
silver per ton of mud. The weather has some effect upon
the flow of mud and the riches of the silver. Warm,
sultry weather has been found to be the best. Professor
Hanks, iu his report upon the discovery, says :—" Some-
times in one of the larger springs, when the weather is
cold the mud will be of a yellow colour, showing no
silver, but when the day is warm the mud is blackish-blue,
at least in places, and is rich in silver. They seem to
work more actively on a warm afternoon. Some of them
contain a great deal of acid, the bones of animals that fall
into them being dissolved in a few months. There are
between 100 and 200 quartz leads discovered running ia
two directions close to the springs. The silver is in the
state of chloride, and is seen under the microscope both
amorphous and in crystals." It is supposed that a
thorough study of this substance and a solid, blackish
substance found in Utah, containing silver in the same
condition, may throw valuable light upon the formation
of metalliferous veins.—Evening Mail.

NATIVE SURVEYS.
One of our telegraphic correspondents informs us of a
very foolish adventure which was undertaken by certain
sensed surveyors and Native interpreters in the latter
of last week. This was the secret survey by moon-
of a block of native-owned land iu the neighbour-
hood of the Horohoro Mountain, which rises not far from
Ohinemutu district. The land is called Rangeaho and
Maungaiti, and lies near a position well known during
the Native war as Niho-o-te-Kiora (the Tooth of the Rat).
The result has been disastrous for the adventurers who
were proceeding in this clandestine manner. The Tuhou-
rangi tribe had got wind of the affair, and sent out an
armed party, who came upon the secret surveyors at early
dawn on Friday morning, captured them and their in-
struments, and placed thern as prisoners in the pa at
Parekarangi, where they now are. What makes the action
of these moonlight performers all the more reprehensible
is that they knew they were acting against the wishes of
both the Native owners and the Government. It appears
that application for leave to survey had been made to
Captain Mair, the district officer, by the parties who de-
sired to purchase, or their agents ; but this leave had been
refused, on the grounds, among others, that the Govern-
ment bad already paid money on the block, and because
Captain Mair was aware that the Tuhourangi tribe strongly
objected to the survey. The officer of the district, we
understand, telegraphed to the Native Minister at Auck-
land, who at once replied, forbidding any such action on
the part of surveyors, as ho was determined that no sur-
veys should take place without the consent of both sides.
Mr. Sheehan also stated, for the information of the
Natives, that while he felt aggrieved that au armed party
should have been sent to capture the surveyors, thereby
placing the captors in an awkward position, as
putting themselves outside the pale of the law,
which they had no right to take into their own
hands, he had, in consequence of the unwarranted
action of the survey party, given instructions for
the suspension of the licenses of the surveyors and
Native interpreters engaged in the work, pending further
inquiry.

THE NATIVE MINISTER AT THE
THAMES.
ON Thursday evening the Native Minister went to the
Thames for the purpose of visiting the Ohinemuri and
Aroha districts, to take over the land purchases from Mr.
James Mackay, and to intimate to the Natives the change
which bad taken place ia the conduct of tae purchase.
Mr. Sheehan's original intention was to have gone to the
Piako, to be present at the obsequies of Iho late chief
Tarapipipi, but hearing that the Thames Natives, in the
expectation of seeing him, had gone to the funeral meet-
ing, his arrangements were altered accordingly. A special
messenger was sent to the Piako with letters of condo-
lence to Tarapipipi's people, and the Native Minister left
by the steam-launch Buona Ventura for the Upper
Thames. The party arrived at Ohinemuri about 7 o'clock
on Friday evening, where they were received by a large :
crowd of Europeans and Maoris. The Natives welcomed
the Native Minister in their characteristic manner, and
Mr. C. F. Mitchell presented an address on behalf of the
European residents, expressive of their gratitude that the i
Native Minister had arrived to settle personally the
various outstanding questions amongst them. " I
Next morning, at six o'clock, Mr. Sheehan rode out to
Mackaytown, accompanied by Mr. Brodie, Chairman of
the Thames County Council, and Messrs. Mitchell and
Puckey, to inspect a portion of the proposed Thames and
Tauranga Road, the construction of which is violently
opposed by the resident Natives. Having satisfied him-
self by personal inspection, on his return he sent for the
Native chiefs concerned, and.after a short discussion, ob-
tained their consent to the making of the road according
to the plans of the County Engineer.
On the way up to Ohinemuri Mr. Sheehan bad sent
word to Tukukino, the principal chief of the Komata set-
tlement, and the man who is now opposing the opening
of the road and the construction of the telegraph line
through his country. It is not true, as stated in the local
papers, that Tukukino refused to see Mr. Sheehan. On
the contrary, he sent what, according to Maori opinion,
would be a most influential deputation, asking the Native
Minister to come down to his settlement, about four miles
from Ohinemuri, but ou account of the pressure of other
business Mr. Sheehan, was compelled to postpone the
acceptance of the invitation until a future occasion.
Tukukino's deputation remained and took part in the
meeting with the Natives, which was held at the Paeroa
township, about eleven o'clock on the same day. A con-
siderable number of Natives were present, and speeches
full of welcome and compliment were made to the Native
Minister and the party accompanying him.
HATA PAKA, who is Tukukino's right-hand man, was
the principal speaker. In the course of his speech ho
said^that the Maoris of Hauraki looked upon the Native
Minister not as a Minister or a member of the Govern-
ment, but as a doctor who had come to cure them of the
many diseases under which they were now labouring.
The NATIVE MINISTER, in reply, said he was quite
willing to accept the position of their medical adviser,
provided it was accompanied with the usual rights and
privileges of the profession. They should remember that
diseases could be divided into two groat classes : Firstly,
those which were brought on by a man's own miscon-
duct ; and, secondly, those which were induced by causes
beyond his control. It would be his duty to ascertain
how the maladies which afflicted them had arisen, and
having done that, to endeavour to ascertain a remedy.
They must remember that in many cases the most effica-
cious and certain remedies were exceedingly unpalatable
to the taste, but if he was to be their doctor they must
swallow such medicine without making wry faces. After
a lengthy address the Native Minister referred to the
question of roads and bridges, and said that he was aston-
ished to find that a people so sensible as the Maori people
were should offer objection to the opening of bridges and
roads through their land. They might be suffering from
manifeld diseases, but he defied them to point out a single
evil which had befallen them by the construction of roads
and bridges, and he had observed that while they offered
opposition to such useful works, they were always the
first people who used them. He wished them distinctly
to understand that he was determined to take land for
roads and erect bridges whenever and wherever the public
convenience might require. He further pointed out their
lukewarmness in the cause of education, stating: that while
the Government were prepared to assist them in every
way in the opening and maintaining of schools, they bad
never stirred a finger in the matter. While they neglected
to send their children to school, and spent the bulk
of the proceeds of their land sales in drink, they
could never hope to realise that which they pro-
fessed to be their principal aim, to become equal to the
European in the occupation and settlement of the country.
i A number of the Natives spoke after Mr. Sheehan, ad-
I mitting the correctness of his remarks, and promising a
better state of things in the future.
After the Native meeting was over, a large number of
the Europeans waited upon the Native Minister as a depu-
tation. They were introduced by Mr. C. F. Mitchell, and
the questions raised were identical with those brought
before him a few days previously in Auckland by a depu-
tation from the Thames. The Native Minister replied in
a similar way to that which he had clone in Auckland,
and informed them that, in respect to two or three of the
important questions raised, he had, since the Auckland
meeting, obtained the sanction of the Cabinet to the
assurances he had then given.
At 2 o'clock the Native Minister left by the steam
launch Riroriro for Te Aroha, the block which is now
under offer to Mr. Broomhall. Considerable difficulties
have arisen in connection with the title to this block, and
the object of the visit was to induce the objecting party
to consent to some terms by which the title might be
settled.
On arrival at Omahu, Mr. Sheehan was received by
about 300 Maoris, most of whom had torches in their
hands. The war-dance was also indulged in. On landing,
the party was escorted to the pa, where every preparation
had been made, three large tents being erected for the
accommodation of the Ministerial party. Food was served
i up in a most abundant manner.

TE WANANGA.
After the refreshments had been partaken of, the
Native Minister called upon the Natives to at once meet
him, and discuss the question of the title to the Aroha
Mock. To this proposal considerable objection was at
first taken, one old gentleman remarking that the Scrip-
tures warned them against a man who came like a thief
in the night, and another supplementing this remark by
statements that, according to Native custom, night birds
were always birds of evil omen.
The NATIVE MINISTER replied that if the party that
had come to visit them had boon Maoris, their objection
might have had some force; but the Pakeha was differ-
ent, he travelled by night and by day, and worked regard-
less of Maori custom. He had come a long distance to
see them specially, and as be must start for Shortland by
7 o'clock next morning, they must either talk business
that night or leave the work undone for an indefinite
period.
Thereupon the objecting: party consented, one old
gentleman sapiently remarking that the Native Minister
was like a tui, he did not settle long anywhere ; and unless
they took him now while he was roosting upon their par-
ticular tree, he might not turn up again until next season.
A long and animated discussion took place, lasting until
near daylight next morning, when the whole party finally
agreed to adopt the Native Minister's proposal to put the
land through the Native Lands Court, so as to determine
the parsons who wero entitled to receive the money
which the Government was paying for the freehold of the
block.
Next morning at 8 o'clock the Ministerial party started
back for Grahamstown, and landed at Gibbon's Wharf,
about a mile above Kopu. They were thence driven
along the new county road into Grahamstown.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the Native Minister was
waited upon by a deputation consisting of the Mayor and
Mr. W. Rowe, M.H.R., as the bearers of a petition from I
400 miners of the Thames, asking for the establishment of
a Government assay office at the Thames.
The NATIVE MINISTER, in reply, said he entirely ap-
proved of the proposal contained in the petition, and added
that when the vote for the establishment of a school of
mines was passed, it was distinctly understood that the
Thames was not to be left out in the cold. He suggested
that the chemical instruments and appliances, which had
been purchased by the Provincsal Government, for the
Provincial Analyst, might be obtained as the nucleus of a
laboratory for the Thames School of Mines, and promised
to communicate at once with Sir George Grey and the
other members of the Cabinet in the matter.
A deputation of working men waited upon him at a late
hour respecting the Thames lands, and asked when it was
likely that any lands would be open for settlement.
The NATIVE MINISTER replied that he had given instruc-
tions to Mr. Preece to prepare a list of all lands to which
the title was complete. This would be ready in the course
of a week, and every block that was found to be in n
proper state, would be at once placed at the disposal of
the Waste Lands Board.
The deputation thanked him, and withdrew.—Weekly

Turanganui, Aperira 20. 1S7S.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Friend, allow a place for my words in our WANANGA, so
that the two peoples, the Maori and European may see it. |
My first word is : I condemn the act of the Police who
take people to prison without in the first instance having
issued a summons, and having the people to appear before a
Resident Magistrate.
There is now in prison in Gisborne a Native Iad, who was
put into the prison on the 16th day of this month. The acts
of taking the lad to prison is wrong. Hence I say let the
Police cease to come into our district, on the Turanganui
river. Also in the Uawa district. But rather let me, the
Maori, take the people of my district into custody, and J. will
hand the prisoners over to the Police. Now let the Police
cease to catch men ia my district. We look on this act of the
Police with much distrust, hence we say let such work cease.
But let the work of the European people be clear and under-
stood. Let my words cease here, given by the authority of
the Maori people of the Turanganui and Uawa districts.
From, PATERIKI PAHURA.

[The law says if men do evil they commit wrong on them-
selves ; and it must not be that men may continue to do evil,
because the public would suffer. Hence the law says that all
evil-doers shall be tried by law. and it is right that the police
should take all evil-doers, so that they may be taken before
the Magistrate. You are right to speak your words, O Pateriki.
But you are wrong iu your words of condemnation of the acts
of the police. The police are appointed to take evil men
whose acts are acts of evil. You must teach your people to
cease to do evil, and then also will cease the visits of the
police to your settlements. It is your evil which invites the
police to your settlements : and if you teach your tribe to
cease to do wrong, by that means will also cease the visits of
the police to you. It is your own people who ask the police
to visit you, that is. they act in such a manner that those acts
of your people call to the police to visit you.—Editor of the
