LATEST FROM WAIKATO.

FLOUR MILLS AND DISTILLATION IN THE KING COUNTRY. ALEXANDRA. This day. There is to be a great meeting of natives at Waitoma this month to proceed to Kawhia to carry millstones for the flour mill to be erected at Te Kuiti. Manuhiri's counsels have prevailed, and no more grog is to be distilled.

THE OPENING OF OHINEMURI.

MR McLEAN'S TELEGRAM TO MR O'ROPKF. GRAHAMSTOWN. This day. The Crown Prince to-day struck a slide in the west drive on the No. 1 reef. The Manukau has pot COJbs of specimens from the south face in ihe upper level. Te Hira is now ah Short!and. The opening of Ohinemuri is occupying great attention. The Advertiser has been suplied by Mr Mackay with true copies of the telegrams picked up by a man named Wilson in Auck land which were lest by Mr O'Rorke, and Wilson, failing to make capital out of them, sent one to the Advertiser for publication, promising to send the other. It is believed this induced the Government to request Mr Mac kay to. publish the true copies. Wilson seems to have mixed the two messa -es, and added the words : " Government do not wish the country to be opened." The first is dated 12th December, from Mr McLean to Mr O'Rorke, and runs : "You are undoubtedly acquainted with the diggers' excitement about Ohinemuri. I hope you -will exert yourself in Auckland to see editors connected with press, and endeavour to restrain them from adding to the present irritating fecline which is being created between the races. Would you aho consult with the Attorney - General and Mr Whita ker as to the legal steps to be taken in the event of a rush or attempt at a rush on native land at Ohinemuri. I will keep the office here open to-night to hear what pteps yon have taken in tho matter. The subject is of importance to Auckland, and the Superin tendent should be seen in order that we should act in concert with him in the best means of repressing the present violent agita tion which is only calculated to delay the the opening of the country and to defeat thf> object which the agitators profess to have in view. The second telegram on the 14th Decem ber luns, "Thanks very much for telegrom, and also for trouble taken. I have heard from Mackay, and do not anticipate that a rush will be attempted. Still it is as well to get the Attorney General's opinion.— Signed, Donald McLean." Letters are given from Wilson threatening to publish the telegram if the Government do not givo him em ployment or reward, It is reported that Mr Mackay has been requested to write to the "Cross "and "Herald." To explain matters away the "Advertiser" suggests a banquet to Mr McLean and To Hira as the only means of opening the country.

DIFFICULTY WITH NATIVES AT ROTORUA.

ROTORUA. This day. The native disrurbance re Kiho te Kiore and Cambridge road assumes a serious aspect. An armed party opposes the work proceeding. The Government officers are threatened. A covering party of two hundred men would end the difficulty. The natives in the Bay of Plenty are all quiet.

ODE TO THE AUTHOR OF "TO AN OLD PAIR OF BOOTS."

Oh ! Lancelot, fern-root muse weep thou no more, 'Twill boot thee naught, whether of "calf" or "wether" Or other leather, thy " mortal boots" Immortalised, however, with thyself la verse, or worse, are polished off. A poet's license trnlv hast then ta'en, Thou'st taxed credulity a lot. Lancelot, lit true thou boughtest. " with a sigh " Those " trusty boots ?" That trust had not expired. Methinks if boots were purchasable with a sigh. And shopkeepers not out of poet's sizes, You'd have a second fruit my Lancelot, Thy boots and thon art now become a riddle, Why drop a tear when they'll not hold a drop ? " Were never off thy feet," I think thon saidst; Thou didst love them, or wet, or dry. oe'r much. In future, poet of the sole, shed not thy tears, But take a nightcap less and shed tby boots At bedtime, so wilt thou be cleanlier And the fair getter up of those bright fronts May yet deplore my Lancelot her lot less ; And if in truth thon art about to buy For tenders call. He of the Deeply Red, Or Black, or Brown'll, Offer to supply Thy one momentous want, but note, for notes Not thy size for sighs no free-booters are those. Thy namesake, Lancelot Gobo.
