With regard to the trial of Te Whiti and Tohu, that was, he considered, a mere mock trial, and a sham was an odious thing. The proper and manly course for tpe Government to have adopted would haye been for it to have made the rebel chiefs Te Whiti and Tohu State prisoners. But what was to be done with the Parihaka natives T Parihaka was a desert now; were these Maoris to be beggars and out casts? If they did him the honor jof returning him to Parliament he should certainly sift this dispute with the natives tp the bottom. [Applause.] He-had no great confidence in the Hall Ministry ; it comprised too many large landholders, and it had no policy of its own but was ' dependent upon the policy of its pre decessors 'in office. Last session they could not have got together a stronger Government than the Hall Government, ,but in the. new-session he hoped a . better Ministry would be found, and one founded . on moderate Liberal principles. He ad ’ the Removal of the seat '‘" 'of -Government from Wellington to Christchurch. The cost had been urged asan objection to the step, but after all ' the ‘ cost would not be very great. It would be well that the seat of Govern ment should be shifted from the foul .Atmosphere of Wellington into the clear Atmosphere' of Christchurch. Hie change iIJ , Would free the Government from a ■'V.'nduitjet, of secret influences which were Gi ; at work. At present, for all practical v!i pnrptfdes, the seat of Government might " : m well be in Sydney or Melbourne as ;at "Wellington.

FREETHOUGHT AND ATHEISTIC LECTURE.

TO THE EdITOB. Sib, —Having noticed an advertisement convening meetings at our Town Hall bn the above, and other matters having an unmoral tendency, and seeing Sunday * ' evening named_as one of the nights,) I sincerely hope that the, directors of our ’ Town!Hall will re-cohsider the matter, and not aid in the desecration of the Sabbath by allowing such a meeting jto take "place, even though pecuniary neces sity may perhaps compel them to sanction if oh other days. I notice the CityCoun • cil of Christchurch have refused this lady * ‘ lecturer a license for Sunday meetings, and I think that we in Ashburton are; as ■ ' desirous of rightly observing the Lord’s day as ‘our fellow colonists in Christ church. Lectures on such subjects are Sure to draw large crowds of the young .and thoughtless, and are generally the 'meahs of (implanting ideas which must tend to lo.wer , rather than elevate the morality of the masses. They are danger . t ous to promulgate at any time, and above all on the Sabbath day. I hope this may - be, jthe, means of causing some others; to take action, in the matter, and sooner than the Town Hall Company should be at any pecuniary loss, I for one] would throw! in my mite towards the letting fee, sootier than see it opened on Sunday night for - this object. —I am, etc., Sabbath Obsebveb.

THE BAND.

To the Editor. Sib,— Kindly permit me to ask is Ash- burton. the proud possessor of a brass band 1 If not, why not 1 Though I ask [-Z the question, I acknowledge that at rare intervals, like the supposed visits ;of angels, an attenuated kind of band, com : posed, of a few brass instruments, may be : beard by some of the inhabitants dis coursing so-called music ; but why is even this not heard'oftener, and why have pot all an opportunity afforded to listen En raptured or otherwise ? and “ echo answers why ?” Could it possibly be that there . are people living in Ashburton who have “no music in their souls ?” lam half , inclined to admit the possibility, for 1 re : member at the last annual meeting ,in connection with the public school one gentleman (1 forget his name) gravely an nounced that the Committee had done away with music and drawing in the curriculum of the public school to make room for more important studies. “ Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of ” Ashburton (only in the Guardian of ourse) that there lived a man with soul so dead, I mean with so little “ music in his soul,” as to be capable of acting thus, and then stating it publicly as if a meritorious course had been pursued hy the Committee! It is to be devoutly hoped that such persons compose onU a very small minority of the inhabitants, but revenons d nos moutons. 'lt seems! tq to me clear that the present band should be .re-organised and increased, and' a competent conductor secured, so that during the long summer evenihgs promenaders in East street might have the gratification of listening to good music. Also, an inexpensive pavilion should be erected with music stands, etc., for the performers, say in Courthouse reserve. Now that the “ petrified kid neys ” have been removed, and a smobth footpath instituted, the band on say two - evenings in the week would much enhance the pleasure of the promenade. Should it be simply a question of expense, I am sure all lovers of music would subscribe cheerfully to make the band a good and efficient one. I hope to see the matter taken up with spirit and at once.—l am, eta, A Lover of Music. _ [The letter of our correspondent is worthy of attention, but why select East street as a promenade when the Domain would afford a much pleasanter locald for the erection of the band-stand. Pro bably our correspondent is unaware that a competent conductor has been recently . elected.—Ed. #.]

Y' ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY 0.
