which he believed was true, that at that Very moment there were men negotiating for large tracts of native lands under the Thermal Springs Act. He asked the Go vernment to say whether or not that re port was correct. Mr Macandtew denounced the proposal as a monstrous power to pass into the hands of any Board, and for that , reason . ho would oppose the Bill. Mr Watts supported the Bill. It was a measure calculated to protect the natives against the acts of unscrupulous persons of the European race. The House divided. Ayes, 40; noes, 34. The Bill was then read a second time. NATIVE lANI> DIVISION BILL. The Hon. Mr Bryce moved the second reading of the Native Land Division Bill. —Carried. LEASEHOLDERS DISQUALIFICATION. The Hqd. Mr Dick moved the second reading of the Leaseholders Disqualifica tion Bill. After discussion, the House divided— Ayes, 31; noes, 21. The Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Tuesday. 4 MISCELLANEOUS. The Aliens Act Amendment Bill was further considered in committee, and reported with an additional new clause ; the Sheriffs Act, 1858, Amendment Bill was further considered and reported. The Mining Companies Registration validation Bill was next considered.

THE MAN MONKEY.

The gorillas are the terror of Africa. In the gorilla country no lion will live. They are man-haters, and kill them for the love* of it, leaving the body, never eating them. When they spy a negro, they come down from a tree, hit him on the head with a club, which they wield with their hind claw, or carry him Up into the tree, there to murder him. Their strength is so great that they will bend the barrel of a rifle. Only one live one was ever brought to Eng land, and that soon died. Seve ral have been shot, but they are tough custo’mers, and the natives dread them more than any animal of the African forests. The gorilla makes a bed like a hammock, and swings in the trees. The gorilla is the sworn enemy of the elephant, because each derives its sub sistence from the same source. When he sees an elephant pulling down and wrenching off the branches of a favorite tree, the gorilla steals along the bough, strikes the sensitive proboscis of the elephant a violent blow with his club, and drives off the clumsy and startled giant, shrilly trumpeting his pain and rage through the jungles of the forest

THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1882.



Blow Odt to Sba.—The cutter Bessie arrived on Thursday at Whangaroa, six teen days from Auckland. The captain reports that he was blown 300 miles out to sea. The vessel was hove-to'for a, week, and ;the crew endured great privations, and were five days without water. •Too Much Joy. —The case of bigamy against Samuel Joy is a singular one. It appears that twenty-four years ago he married a half-caste woman .at Tapuri, who within half an hour after the cere mony eloped to the King Country with a Maori lover. In January last Joy con tracted a matrimonial alliance with a woman named Pramley, who arrived by the Lady Jocelyn, and who it is under stood laid the information. He was brought up at the Auckland Police Court yesterday. Holloway’s Pills. —The sudden changes frequent fogs, and pervading dampness sorely impede the vital functions and conduce to ill health. The remedy for these disasters lies in some purifying medicine, like these Pills, -which is competent to grapple with the mis chief at its source, and stamp it out without fretting the nerves or weakening the system. Holloway’s Pills extract from the blood all noxious, matters, regulate the action of every disordered organ, stimulate the liver and kidneys, and relax the bowels. In curing chest complaints these Pills are remarkably effective* especially when aided by friction ol the. Ointment on its. walls. This double treat ment will ensure a certain, steady, and bene ficent progress, and sound health will soon be re-established.—Advt.
