His gross ignor ance, his incorrect reports of the opinions of foreign philosophers and thinkers, have done much to disgrace the of the country among those whose reputation is worth anything.” A Dunedinite who recently set out on a tour round the world writes from Fiji : «< I got a billet the first week I landed, on a sugar plantation 40 miles up the Rewa River, as storekeeper and hospital attendant. We have about 200 coolies—

Fijians and Islanders—and three white men to keep them in order. There is no fresh meat obtainable here; but we get tinned meat, and make up on bread, bis cuits and fruit.. Tams, bananas, oranges, pineapples, etc., are to be had for the plucking. I can’t say I like the lifeC My hut is alive with mosquitoes, lizards a foot long, and iats, and their company is nob-pleasant. We have had rain all the while I have been here. The natives are very lively at night with war dances, in which they keep wonderful time. The women and girls spend the day in bath ing in the river. The less clothes you put on here the more you are in the fashion. We drink a lot of Fiji grog, made thus; Two niggers sit down and chew the root into a pulp, then put it in a basin of water, and work it about with their hand till the mixture becomes the color of pea-soup ; then the pulp is taken out, and the drink is ready for use.
