have the aid of the Government. , Mean^. time there was no bourse open to them out to support their own schools. ;What he would show them on a future occasion was a plan by which they might educate their children independently of the Govrernment,and by which education would be entirely free. To-morrow night he would God willing, explain the system. THE PROCESSION. Next Sunday there would be a procession -of all those who had taken the pledge They must wear their medals, badges, and sashes over the left shoulder. If anyone SStowaketrouble by asserting thatthis ; procession was connected with any national Movement, he would say that up to the pre sent he had experienced no opposition to his temperance processions. The colour of the sashes was distinctly green, but the move ment was not a national one. It is Catholic; it takes in all classes, and members of every nation He selected the colour because it pleased him personally. It would make a Bne show out in the open air. He had ahvavs used it on such occasions. Be had -intended to wear the sash that night, but he had forgotten it. (Here a person in the audience arose with a green sash in his •hand). It is as green as the green hill-sides of Ireland. Englishmen as well as Irish men wear it. I declare there is not the least particle of nationality mixed up with this affair. The sash has been worn all over the land in the eyes of the Governor of Wellington, and all the members •of Parliament, and when they knew there was no national signification ■In it, they took- no exception. We are in this movement of temperance not of any nationality but of all nationalities. It is an intensely Catholic affair. We wish well to every temperance society, but only ■Catholics will move in the procession ou Sunday. GOOD TEMPLAKY. Just now some one asked me whether or notitwaslawfulforCatholics to belongto the (Good Templars or any other Society for the promotion of temperance. Temperance is allowed to Catholics everywhere, but it is not allowed to Catholics to.belong to:any secret society if it have any form of worship or prayer there, such as they have in the Good Templars. It is strictly forbidden for Catholics to accept any such worship or form of prayer. If any Catholics in this «ity belong to the Good Templars, as obedient children of the Catholic Church, they have ouly to withdraw from that Society. You have the best organisation for temperance in this city, that has been formed in all New Zealand. Let those who belong to the different Societies come in with the Catholics of this city, and dis tinguish themselves amongst us Catholics as good temperance reformers. ANNOUNCEMENTS. The Rev Father then announced that the Temperance procession would take place at half-past three o'clock to-morrow. The congregation would form at the marquee, and move in procession through a large portion of the city. The closing services of the mission would take place at seven o'clock on Sunday evening. WAX CANDLES. On that occasion he desired the whole of the congregation to have bees-wax candles in their hands, the meaning of that he would explain to them. They would hold up these lighted candles, when they would renew their baptismal vows. The reason these wax candles were to be brought was that every good Catholic was expected to make a present of wax candles to his Church, as was done in other places where the Churches were plentifully supplied by the people. Those who belonged to the Cathedral would leave the candles here, while others who were connected with Churches in other districts would take their candles with them to present. It might be asked, why did not the Chiirchi use other candles than wax ? The reason was that the Church thought that nothing was too good with which to honour Jesus Christ. Therefore, bees-wax was used, because it was the sweetest extract of flowers. The rev. gentleman went on to speak of the efficacy of wax candles. He advised all his hearers to keep them in their houses. They were particularly efficacious when lighted in the chamber of a dying man. It was was taught by the Fathers of the Church that when a man was in health only one demon tempted him, but when he was on his death-bed, and in his last moments ten or more demons would crowd about him and endeavour to seize the last oppor tunity to tempt him to the ruin of his soul before the angels of God took him away from their reach for ever. • So great had been the success of his mission that the s apply of wax candles had been • exhausted in the colony. The merchants, •finding the demand for these candles, endeavoured to procure supplies from Australia, but were unsuccessful; but he ' (Father Henueberry) had obtained a whole ; ton of candles from America. A great part of these had been already consumed, but: there was a supply still remaining, and «they would be supplied at the same price -as they were sold in America. Some people *might say that he was. " making a pile " .•by the sale of these things, but;he never .received one penny from the sale of these =religious objects. If any profits jwere left • over the amount paid for freight, it would be devoted to religious objects. He did not know that the freight would be derived "from the sale of these things. A;fter some >further remarks, the rev. gentleman con •cluded, and the proceedings closed with the t usual services.

MR FOURNIER'S REPLY.

(To the Editor of the Star. Sib,—ln consequence of being busy with my microscopic operations, I have not been able to pay that amount of attention to the subject of theology Avhich I could wish. 7« "°. w hasten to reply to a letter signed Dion Snip," who, it appears, has changed his name and somewhat changed his mode of attack. He has admirably evaded the points of my previous letter, and all through he has shown an amount of dexterity worthy of a better cause. There isj evidence sufficient to show how painfully conscious he is, of the badness of his case. But good-humoured generalities are a poor substitute for argument. There is, how ever, one thing apparent enough, that my' previous letter had great force in it, although he has characterised it as "a vulgar and unchastened production ;" and so far as my remarks with reference to Father Henne berry were concerned, I will say with all the modesty at my command they were far too relevant for the unknown writer. His eloquence had reached its climax, when with burning impatience be felt tempted to call up the illustrious dead to "fling back the aspersions of this petty slanderer." Who is the petty slanderer'? Is it not Father Henneberry ? A man who has come from nobody knows where, and will be going to a place equally unknown. At anyrate, the character of Pastor Chiniquy baa been nobly vindicated by those who know him most. Such a vindication is sufficient to satisfy all right-minded men. We may thank our stars tliat we are living ma British colony wherefree speechand con duct is allowed. No thanks to Romanism. It is pretty clear that " Dion Snip " has not seen (or feigns not to have seen) much of the abominations of the Romish Church. Bat I am not saying too much when I tell you that I have been in portions of the world where Roman Catholics have had everything their own. way; that for one-hundredth part this letter' contains, a man would be killed and put out of sight in a few hours through the instigation of the priest; and yet there are stupid Protestants who are so easy and sleepy that they fold their arms and say "Ah ! they would not do it here if they had the power; they are too en lightened and liberal to do any harm to anyone." Poor silly creatures. But they would soon find their mistake; when it is too late ! too late ! too late!— Yours &c.,L. FOUENIEK.

[No good can result from prolonging this correspondence. We therefore; close it. When Pastor Chiniquy visits Auckland he will doubtless have ample opportunity of vindicating himself.—Ed.'E.S.]

WELLINGTON, this day, RIFLE ASSOCIATION FIHING.

At a meeting of the New Zealand Kifle Association Committee, the fact of volun teers and other intending members holding back their support was brought under notice, and the following resolution passed : "In view of the Association being held about the latter end of February, and the intention of the Government to subsidise pro rata to the amount of subscriptions raised by members, it is absolutely necessary that officers in command of corps and local secretaries should immediately communicate to the secretary the number of members already joined, to enable him to apply for the subsidy and ascertain what amount of funds will be at the disposal of the committee for the purpose of forming the range and preparing a programme of firing, as, unless this is ascertained on or before the 31st Dec, the committee cannot make any arrangements whatever".

It is rumoured that Sir Wm. Fitzherbert will be made Speaker of the Legislative Council, "and Mr O'Rorke Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives. TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT. The " New Zealander" says the income of the' Telegraph Department has shewn a very large increase since the beginning of the finan cial year. The number of deferred telegrams sent in the first week in July, when the system came into operation, was 338, and the number for the we-3k ending December 2nd was 1,017, the increase having been gradual and pro gressive since July. The amount of revenue from this source last week was ££0 ; and should the receipts continue in the same rate, the total for the year may be (estimated at something like £i,OOO. Since 1873 the telegraphic revenue has doubled, and if the increase should continue till the end of the year, there 'will be a surplus on the estimates of £8,000 or £9,000.

FIJI.

By the Agnes Donald from Levuka to-day we have later Fiji papers. The news is of little interest. Natives are employed making a carriage road round Ovalau. The Governor met the chiefs at Bau to open their meeting. In addressing them he combatted the idea that the aborigines must die before the white man. He instanced Java, where the population had vastly increased, and India. He urged them to take proper precautions against disease, and to submit to vaccination. The Queen's Government would support their native laws, as being best adapted to their circumstances. We hear Lakeba and all the islands to windward are sadly injwant of rain. It seems the fine rains that fell at LomaLoma a week or so ago did not ex tend so far as Lakeba. A native at Na Koro You, whose matrimonial experiences have of late been anything but happy, took it into his head to dissolve his marriage bonds) by "shuffling off this mortal coil" altogether. He accordingly loaded a gun and deliberately shot himself through the breast. He lingered for a few days in much pain, and then died. A Toga man was taken to the Hospital minus his right hand, which had been blown off by giant powder. The un fortunate man was endeavouring to shoot some fish, but holding the charge too long in Ids hand, it had quite the contrary effect. The Tonga parliament is sitting, and has passed various laws. The law pro hibiting the manufacturing and wearing it native cloth, and the clothing law, are abol ished. Men and women can now wear any kind of clothing they choose, on all and ever^ occasion within doors or without, j A* 1 thai is required Is that they shall be decent; ex cept, perhaps, in the case o* *ac church at Nukualofa, where! the men mnst dress in coat, trousers, sunej> &c, and the women, like theh > < sers> with dresses, bonnets, &c, &c. Any one who, from disinclination or inability does not or cannot comply with this regulation, must be content to worship outside, or in the porches. The prohibition against women smoking has been considerably modified, and the ladies may now enjoy their weed to their hearts content, except ing under certain special conditions. A treaty of amity and reciprocal friendly relations has been concluded between Eng land and the King of Tonga.
