A VISIT TO MAHURANGI.

NOTES IROM THE DIARY OF TOUR OWN COR

RESPONDENT.

Being advised by a few medical friends for the benefit of my health, I took a passage by the fast and powerful little steamship Lady .bowen, which left Auckland for the above on Thursday, 22nd, at 10 a.m., with a fine fair wind and eveiy prospect of a speedy passage. There was nothing of consequence or anything excitable so far to relate, with the exception of two or three passengers try ing to fleece a poor innocent chieftain, well known at the Hot Spiings, at what they termed "a shilling in and the winner shouts,1' perhaps generally known as " Yankee Grab ;" but unfortunately for them, this individual appears to have travel led in steamboats before. 1 p.m.- At dinner, everyone happily engaged amidst the clatter ing of plates, knives and forks, &c, and popping of corks. .After dinner myself and a few passengers promenaded the fine quar ter-deck of this magnificent boat, enjoying a really first-class Mahurangi cigar, made at the establishment of Mr Cowan, of Philipsville, which I must say are quite ,J equal, if not better, than the celebrated " Eagle brand " we hear of in Auckland. They are also very reasonable, as our worthy steward will inform you—twelve for a bob. 2 p.m.: arrived at Hot Springs. This appears to be a secluded but exceedingly healthy spot. There is also a first-class hotel pleasantly situated near the beach. The grounds surrounding the hotel have been tastefully laid out with ornamental trees, which gives the place a very beautiful appearance. I could gladly recommend any person, either healthy or otherwise, to visit this place, which for health and comfort cannot be excelled. 3 p.m.: Weighed anchor and proceeded on our voyage to Mahurangi, where we arrived at half-past six p.m. with out any accident or escape of steam from any of the boiler tubes to mar the pleasure of our passage. 23rd : After a trudge of two and a-half miles, accompanied by a very dear affectionate sister, at times knee deep in what the young ladies here call "clean mud," I was introduced to an exceedingly kind family, residing at Happy Valley, where I was properly taken care of, and can assure you, dear readers, have since re gretted being well again. 24th to 28th : Weather very fine. Borrowed a gun, etc., and went out for a day's shooting. Saw one bird—fired, but only made the feathers fly. The evenings passed by very pleasantly indeed. 29th: It is very wet and stormy to-day. Am afraid it will spoil this wonder ful "clean mud" only to be seen at Mahu rangi. 30th : Weather changed ; very fine, and sun scorching. Assisted the young ladies in a little gardening. In the afternoon walked to the township, and visited the building-yard of Mr William Southgate, where a large cutter was being built for the Mahurangi trade. 31st : Weather still very fine.. Everything passed off, as usual, very pleasantly indeed. August Ist: Being Sun day, stayed at home. It is very cold and squally. Found the fire the best place. 2nd : This being my last day, I had to make the most of it. Accompanied by the young ladies, called on a few friends to say good bye, and have just time to catch the steamer at the township. Am obliged to leave this happy vale of blessedness, ?nd with a part ing adieu, I left a happier and kinder family you will not meet with in this universe. Once more od the road, at the same time heartily wishing the Lady Bowen would founder at her moorings or leave with out me, but was sadly disappointed on my arrival at the township to find I was just in time for a ten hour rough and tumble, and cannot close without saying that 1 have never enjoyed myself so much before, and to thank my dear friends at the Vale of Happiness for their kindness and attention to me during my stay with them. Thus ended my very pleasant and happy visit to Mahurangi, arriving at Auckland at 7 p.m.

MR, JOHN MASON ON THE SITUA TION.

[To the Editor of the Evening Star.]

Sir, —It appears to me that the undercurrent of popular feeling is decidedly in favor of Go vernment. We, of the middle class, accept the terms initiated. We, as a body of working men, believe that the legislative powers, pro tern, are doing the best for our interests. We take it for granted that the bills before Par liament have derived their issues in the mother country. Be that as it may, we accept them as the emanation of brain. It is futile to notice letters published in your journal, or others. In the representation of popular ideas, I can only indite the conclu sions emanated from the people in respect to the measures propounded by Government.

A centre of Government we accept in its

v entirety; because we believe that justice * will be me meted out to the population ■'irrespective of individuals. In reviewing the action of Government, it is possible there may be some mistakes. We take it for granted that financially, in general re venue, they have a good estate, with better prospects. So far so good. In the programme put forward it appears to us thatj Cor porations, Road Boards, and mining districts have been amply provided for. It appears to us that the Government propose to make a first charge upon the receipts from land sales in appropriation to payments of interest on loans in respect to the provinces. This to our view, is what has long been required. To our mind it is a direct blow, indirectly speaking, at the land assets of the colony, the' proceeds to be appropriated as repre sented. In reference to Auckland as a pro vince, we have no landed estate or revenue therefrom to provide interest, but we assume ' that Government, treating New Zealand as a whole, will see justice done, in every sense of the word, to every individual. In refer ence to our having no paternal estate, as everyone charges us with, doubtless Govern ment will exercise their powers from time to time in purchasing from the Maoris, and that they will recoup themselves by sales of lands under judicious settlement or other wise, by leases under improvement clauses. With ordinary discretion Auckland will, in all probability, have- her land fund. The only question is how, under existiag circum stances, are we to meet the liabilities im posed by the impending Acts of the General Assembly, it is impossible, unless some sub stantial provision is made so as to secure Auckland. We the people of Auckland admit the generosity of the Government principles in reference to the colony, but we, as a province claim to be exempt fr.oni,casu» alties, but in legislation we desire to be placed upon a par with our brethren of the South. We claim to no privileges or advantages all we ask is fair dealing. We are all agreed upon one issue, and that is that under any circumstances the Provincial Go vernments must be abolished and we have determined to oppose every candidate in any future election who will not accord to the , foregoing views. For the associated traders, T. Mason.—P.S. Any final Changes,cannot at present be entertained. We regard every thing of this sort as claptrap. On this subject we the people are not to be caught j iD a mouse-trap still less in a rat-trap. ]

After getting to the Springs! bathed twice a day and drank freely of the miners waters, at least a pint each day, and after six daysl felt quite well, f<. cc from pain, and can walk as m 1 ' as ever I did.

W__vnj<},;. Robert Graham, Esq. . ' Auckland, January 5,1875, Mr Robert Graham, Sir,— Understanding you are the proprietor of ihe ' Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only due toyou to give a short account of my successful experience of the efficacy of the Springs in the cure of Kheuma. tism. I had.been suffering from RheumatM ■___ jft M the year 'G9, contracted through cold and wet work I ing on the West Coast, and from that time until I f left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the: £ same. The second bath I took brought back all the I rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in different 1 parts of my body. At the end of a fortnight I was' 1 free from all pains, with the exception of the anklet I (which was always tho worst part affected), andffith the exception of my feet being very tender fro_j bo"' m much hot bathing lam quite a new man; I have'nbt I the slightest pain of Rheumatism about me, not even in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs I | should advise them not to feel alarmed or disap. pointed if they find themselves worse the firstdayor I two; according to the general opinion it shows the . H action of the waters. Also I would recommend the ■ drinking at least two or three glasses of water both' f on entering and leaving the bath; also, sweatingin'- | the blankets, for which accommodation is provided 1 _ I in each bath; and to parties affected with acpte;i I Rheumatism I think the more they use them the : H more speedy will be the cure. t f I remain, sir '" -,! _ Yours respectfully, .

After three weeks'bath-; ■ ing and drinking the mineral water, lam restored to |\ perfect health. In i act, I have not felt so well for !■' years as I am at present. The trip altogether has jjK ■ been a most enjoyable one. • I found the hotel com-:; | fortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and ; B obliging, pleasant for the invalid seeking health, _, | the man of business requiring laxation.

About four years ago I; I had the spine of _iy back dislocated, in conseajience I of which I lost, the power of my limbs from the back ■ downwards—loßt all feeling in them; also, wasting ;, and loss of flesh on my legs. I was quits unable to |: | walk, and was in this state for about three years- ~ H could not turn in my bed without assistance. ; Last ' H October I went to the Hot Springs, WaiwerM-I. ; |: bathed twice each day, and drank at least 1% pin- of | the water daily. After six week's bathing Ifonnii | the symptoms of life return to my legs. I could hit • | and use my legs'as weU as- ever; got strong ana |V: healthy; all pain and weakness left me. Owingw-; I 7 the.dislocation of my back I still use crutches, bat! f have no doubt I shall shortly be able to do without I them altogether, as I can now walk 100 yardßata g ; time without them. I consider the cure a most .-■- B miraculous one, and feel sure thousands would visit , R the Springs if they only knew its valuable properuM. r I take this opportunity of expressing my graterm ,; •1, thanks to Miss Home for the great Mndntts 1.,.; |. received while atthe Springs, also Mr Home for the, m kindness and attention paid to me by him.
