That" was the general tonC hntt the 1 impression that they con veyed by the articles that appeared in this ' bCahefrof thb press at that JimCC- In ithe -'i m&htl^ 5 July, news! ibme that a chief ' s Chllea : Wfi6tCri, a - Mbbau native, hs|d come in to the Government, 1 and that the ■ Maoris -inthat part of the country were determined to follow a' peacefhi: course and r abWain'froitt helping Te Whiti, or • any'operations that might take place— - that they did hot at ail sympathise with , TS Whiti,‘ ; and might be relied on to startd aloof.

My first impression when I read this ; was l to; laugh, : but on . thinking over 1 does seem to me-a somewhat sad thing that one of those elements; of out Wstemjpf popular government—the criti cism of the press—should lose the influiice i it ought to have ,by changing and choppibg' upon an important question of this kirid, - and practically on the credulity! of 1 in the; way it does. The articles that appeared in that -paper could only have brten written presuming on thp ignoranwbf.the fabts which the majority bf its readefe were in, and for that ignor ance of faots, or misrepresentation of facts, . T Ttho paper .itself- was very largely respon sible. It has been said that the Govern-' ; ‘ment .is acting - without law,-r and doing ■ what it has xio right to do in the detention ©ranch menaa Titokowaru. It maybe. : that the; : Qovernmenthas taken a serious, responsibility upon itself in the course! it has Adapted'with regard to, the- detention, of these natives who are in custody. But it;bias done, it cheerfully, it has done 1 it firmly, and it will Continue to do do it— : [Applause] —because we feel we have got incur hands the-protection of a number of helpless people, and we will take care . that we dohotabuae the trust that is im-

posed in us in this matter. [Applause.] Task ■ yoirwhetheryou can deal with these natives in the same way that you ordinarily deal <■. Are yon, at the .time! of great, .excitement among the natives, as r this, must ; be, to allow a man like.

In his own patorpstrrrto . keep., him out of mis- in. the. interest of the happi ness of the people on the coast,. I maintain

VALUABLE 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. Gd. 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 lestoio laded, grey, or white hair to i. b 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 oven white , linen, but produces the color within the j substance of the hair. Read the follow- , ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, £ Walkden : Oao of my customers told ] me the other day he had had grey hair £ for thirty-live years, and after using one ] bottleof the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 ( sold him, it was restored to and kept its • natural color.” It may be had of any j respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C.
