REV. S. W. BAKER'S LECTURE ON TONGA.

The last lecture of the Christian Young Men's Association series was given last -night in Wcllesley-street, by the Bey, Shirley Baker, on " Tonga and the Tou jgans." The reom was well iilled and much interest evinced by tho listeners. Mr Baker, who had resided in Tonga for 20 years as a missionary, and drew up the the constitution of the Government, and, ■besides, being a thoroughly practical man, was well qualified to speak upon the sub ject. Mr P. Larkius occupied the chair, »ud after the singing of hymn 225, "Jesus Shall Reign," called upon Key. A. W. Webb, who engaged in prayer. The lecturer was then formally introduced, aud commeuced by saying that ho had been requested to speak on "Tonga and the ToDgans " by tho committee. Ho was iv the habit of speaking from memory, 'but in the present instance he had written his lec ture. Mr Baker then gave the best possible sketch ot the past history of the island, in 80 far as time would permit, and contended that the Tougaus were never cannibals, aud must have been in an advanced condition when Captain Cook was there, as they had good roaiU and supplied the great navigator with pigs aud fowls. These features of early longan social customs in dicated the accession of some previous civili sation. He alao referred to the striking resem blance of the Xongans with tho Jewish people in feature, and cast of countenance, also, in many of their social customs. They calculated their time by moons, and their days by nights. Their great feast of the year was an " offering of the first fruits." They possessed the Asiatic rite of circumci sion. They had. a marked'distinction of " clean "aad "unclean." The dead were lamented by professional mourners. There were ''cities of refuge," and the system of former Government was a theocracy. In their language more thau two hundred analo gic* of " scripture phrases " had been found, ar,d there were several fundamental ideas ■which suggested further similar analogies. The Tongans, like the Indians, had their four castes. In India some of the principle castes were : —(1) the Brah mins, or priests, (2) the soldier caste to protect the priests, (3) the commer cial and agricultural caste, (4) the servile caste. There were formerly lour analogous castes in Tonga—(l) the spiritual chiefs or priests, (2) the reiguiug kings or soldiers, (3) tho carpenters and fishermen, (4) the cooks, The social and political condition of the Tongans, and the wonder iful quick-growing fruits and vegetables of the island were pictured aud ■delineated with much power. The «oil was a rich loam—in | some places twenty feet deep. Potatoes were lit for the foible live weeks after the seed had been V>ut in the ground, French beans in three weeks, aud cabbages in four weeks. The yam, the cocoanut, the kumara, the cotton tree, the coffee plant, the sugar-cane, oranges, tho native shaddock, a native apple, and most tropical fruit grew luxu riantly in Tonga. There was a great variety of medicinal plants. The whole people had been converted to Christianity. (Applause.) There was not one heathen rite remaining. (Applause.) There were 125 churches, 39 pastors, 127 Sabbath schools, and 18,730 attendants at Christian worship. (Loud applause.) There was a large number of regular com municants. The natives contributed £17,000 annually tor religion on the Island, and. £15,000 iv aid of foreign missions, making a sum of £32,000 a-year contributed for the purposes of religion. They had in dustrial and other schools. It might, there fore, bo said that Tonga was a great mis sionary success. Politically, the place was a great success. It had been stated that King George was a usurper; this was not true. His father, hi 3 grandfather, and his great-great-grandfather had been King of Tonga. In 1835 he called all his slaves to gether, and sent them to their homes "free men ;" in 1839 he gave them a code of lawn ; in 1862 ho gave them " Magua Charta ;" in 1875 he gave his people constitutional .government—"universal suffrage, vote by ballot " —one House of Parliament, half the members being " hereditary nobles," and half elected representatives. He established a Supreme Court and Circuit Courts. Life nnd property were as safe aud securo in Tonga as in any place in the world. The lecture was replete with information, and was, in fact, a miniature history of the Island in relation to the past, and of her present favourable social and commercial aspects and capabilities, which should not be lost sight of by Auckland. We hopo Mr Baker's lecture will be published for the sake of those who may desire information upon one of the moat interesting aud pro gressive of the islands of the South Seas. In the interval the grandson of the King of Tonga sang a native composition accom panied by Miss Baker, " Great is the Love that Brought Christ to Us." Mr King also sang " The Vagabond," and the whole closed with votes of thanks.

MR MOSS ON THE LAND QUESTION.

<To the Editor.)

Sir, -Mr Moss from his utterances at Parnell on Tuesday night appears couvinced that there is something wrong in the land laws, and that it is a monstrous evil that a few rich men shall be allowed to monopo lise large areas of land, to the exclusion of the poor masses. There are a few think ing men bat agree so far with Mr Moss. But what I—and no doubt others would like to know—is, why does not Mr Moss offer us Rome practical remedy for this most glar ing and rapidly growing evil ? Mr Moss, Sir G'eorga Grey, and others of the same party never lose an opportunity of inveighing in the strongest language against this horrible Jblot in our national system, and there the matter rests. There is no remedy proposed, and no steps taken to apply a remedy. Meantime the evil goes on increasing daily—in fact, hourly, and those we look to as our leaders—those who from their parliamentary position should be the Drst to tackle this question and agitato, and agitate, and agitate until the proper remedies were applied—content themselves with iust mentioning the fact and doing nothing. What should we think of a doctor who, if a patient came to him suffering from eoroe frightful fracture were to say to him, "Mv dear sir, this urni of yours is not at all what an arm ought |to be. Why, its broken in two places—and, dear mo ! those h'nger-]oints are all wrong. It really i3 a most distressing case. Good morning," the patient would naturally say, " I know all this doctor, but I have come to you to have it put right." Now, let us sce'what Mr Gladstone says on this Rubject. In a speech he delivered in Edinburgh this year he eaid, "If it is known to be for the welfare of the com munity at large, the Legislature is perfectly entitled to upset the landed proprietors. Those persons who possess large portions of the space of the earth are not altogether in the same position as persons possessing mere personality, for personality does not impose the samo limitations upon action and industry as the possession of land, and, therefore, compulsory expropriation is ft thing that is admirable and sound in principle." Expropriation is a good word ; it does not mean "confiscation, but "restitution," i.e., restoring back to the rightful ovrners what shall never have been taken from them. . If the expropriation policy be admissible and sound in England when large estates (wrongfully obtained in the first instance, no doubt), have been handed down from father to son for generations, how much stronger does the soundness of it apply ie a country ike New Zealand, which is a country of yesterday, and where the large landed pro prietors have obtained their estates through ti series of happy accidents, some by legis lating in their own interests, some by exert ing their influence with the Government of the day, some from the simple fact that they arrived in the colony in the early days when it was apparently of no great moment whether a man took up acres or miles of country. f , There is only one real remedy for this, and that is for the Govement (i.e., of course, the people), to cause all land to revert back to the State and prohibit it from bein« any longer a marketable commodity. Ther°e should be a strict inauiry into all existing titles, and where land was held for purely speculative purposes, the State should purchase it at its lust cost. Where, as in tne case of the Piako Swamp, the speculators had invested capital m improve ments, the capital so expended shoud be returned. Where the owner of a large estate was also the beneficial occupier he would understand that the right of pur chasing his property remained with the Government, and that it would not be in his power to either lease or sell to private individuals. A heavy land tax should be imposed, each land owner assessing the value of'his own property, the Government reserving to itself the right to purchase of the owners 'assessment if it pleased Each district should have its own laud board and the land should be free to all who choose to occupy it, subject of course to rates for local requirements, and also to a rate for general government purposes-the latter would of course vary according to the necessities of the Government. Were this state of things in existence we could do away with the Custom) House, and open our ports free to the wo.ld, and a nation would belfounded which would suou become a marvel and a model to the whole world.— I am, &c. T Extreme Left.

HIS SON JIM'S BAY MARE.

Wehe the camp Meeting Folks Responsible foe that Pakticulab i Dicker ? Honksdalk, Pa., August 20th.—" I've come all the way in from Canaan to git a lcetle law," said a man with a horsewhip under his aim, blue overalls iv his boots, and a gray, stubby beard on his face, as he entered the Allen House reading room, yes terday, where a number of the boys were talking politics- "Mcbbu some o' you fellers kin give me the correct thing with out me dickerin' with a lawyer." The speaker was a well-known farmer of tho southern part ot the country. He and his son Jim are noted for a sharpness at a bargain and a roaOiuess to trade horses, cows, wagons, farms, or anything that belongs to them, at any and all times a cus tomer may present himself. Jim lives on a farm a mile from the old man's. " Yo see, boys," continued the speaker, "my boy Jim had a bay mare that he traded ayearlin' bull and a cross-tooth harrow fur. Sho was a good critter at' no mistake. I wanted that mare the wust kiud, an' made Jim a heap o' good oilers for her, but [ho wouldn't bite. Last Wednes day he come to my house kiud o' careless like, and sot down on tho front stoop. I was a choppiu' kindlin' wood for morniu'. Jim sot there a lookin' up an' down the road whistliu' ' The Sweet By-au'-By ' kind o' to hissolf. When I carried in my kiudliu' I sot down on the stoop by him. "Jim," I soz, "you better let your old father have that bay mare o' youru," sez 1. Jim had jest started tho second verse of the "Sweet By an' By," but he whistled her all the way through afore he answered me, "I bon a thinkiu' o' lottin' you have the mare, pap,' sez ho, "sceiu's you got yer heart sot on her so," sez he, " pcrvidiu' we kin git up a dicker," sez ho. Jim had beun goin' to camp mectiu' pooty steady for a week back, an' I hcerd he was gcttin' serious. Ho hadn't been whistlin' nothin' but hymn tuues for two or three days, an' when he come around so nice on the mare question I mado up my mind that mo an' the old woman would aeo him jiniu' the mourners 'foro long. " Jim," I sez, " I kin stand eighty dollars for tho mare," scz I. Jim looked up tho road, and hummed a verse of "Come ye sinners, poor an' needy." Thcu he sez : "'Pap, sez ho.' I know I orto let you have that mare fur them iigurea,' sez ho, ' but you know I've refused double that for her,' sez he.' Au' so he had, boys, sure." "'Jim,' sez I again, 'I think I could raise the eighty about twenty more, makin' a hundred,' sez I; ' but that's all I kin do. Remember, Jim,' sez I, 'that I'm yer father, aud I'm gittin' old, an' my heart's sot on that mare,' sez I." '"Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,' hummed Jim, lookiu' plnmb up to the sky. I guess he got away witli two verses afore ho said anything to me, an' I didn't iuter rupt his singiu'." Then lie sez : " ' Pap,' sez he, ' I'll tell you what I'll do. Give me a hundred dollars,' sez ho, 'and throw iv them two Berkshire pigs, an' the marc is yours,' sez he, ' jest as she is." '"A bargain!' sez I. 'The pigs is youis, an' I'll be down after the mare to morrow'," soz I. " I counted out the hundred, an' give it to him. He druv the pigs home with him. They was worth fifteen dollars apiece, easy. I could hear Jim whistlin ' Hold the Fort' till he got half a mile away. "'Jemima,' I aez to the old woman, ' Jemima,' sez I. ' I never thought Jim 'd git pious, did you ? But I've got the bay mare,' sez 1; ' an' what the old boy Jim was thinkiu' of I can't see. She's worth two hundred an' fifty any day in the week,' I sez. ' Kcligion is makm' a fool o' Jim, sez I. , " Well, next morniu early I went down to Jim's to git the mare. Jim had gone to town. I see his wife. "'l've bought the bay marc, Nancy,' I aez. "'Yes. I know ye have, sez Nancy, grinnin' all over her face. " 'Where is she?' I sez. "She's down ill the stone lot," sez Nancy, grinnin' mnre'n ever. I thought it was funny that the mare should be down in the stone lot, but I went down to find her. Boys, I found her. She wa3layin' behind a big stone heap, deader'n a door-nail. I went back to the house. " Why, Nancy," sez I, " the bay mare's dead 1" " O, yes," sez Nancy, lauchin' as if she d split, "she died yesterday morniu' with the colic," sez she. Boys, for a minute I was mad. Then 1 como to, and sez to myself, " I'll be glued if I don't git tho mare's shoes, any how," sez I. So I went back to the stone lot to draw her shoes off. Boys, I'll divide my farm up I between ye if Jim hadn't drawed them shoes hisself, an' the marc's feet was as bare as when she was born. "Now, I ain't no ways mad at Jim, boys, for it was a fair and square dicker, an' it shows there's stuff in him; only he mought a left the shoes on the mare. What I want to know is, can't I git back at the camp meetin' folks some way for damages ? If it hadn't a beu for them hymn-tunes Jim larnt at the meetin's I'd a ben a lookin' put fur him. But they throwed me way off my guard. The way I look at it is that the camp meetin' society is responsible for me losiu' my hundred dollars and two fifteen dollar pigs. Can't 1 git back at 'em for trespass, or false pretences, or excessary afore the fact, or suthin'? Can't I do it, boys!" _^_______^__

HOW AN ARKANSAS LOVER WON HIS BRIDE.

The peculiar conditions upon which a matrimonial affair was based in South Arkansas have just come to light, Dick Anderson liad graduated between the plou"h handles. It was said that he could run a furrow so straight that it would break a knock-kneed man's leg to walk in it. This accomplishment was a kind of frontis piece to a future volume of agricultural success, and more than one youug lady in the nci"hbourhood had her eyes on the voun»lcatch. Dick wasn't bashful, but ho uidu't seem to bo particularly impressed with the charms scattered around him like falling drops of water that linger on leaty treca after a rain. But he soon met his fate—a young lady, Winnie Hogrow. Winnie was * beautiful girl, and could cover as much corn with a hoe, or scrape as much cotton as any man in the neighbour hood. The couple loved -devotedly, agri culturally. Hogrow had raised his dau"hter with great care, and now that she had'attained the zenith of her usefulness it "rieved him to think of losing her. On Sunday Dick went over, and going out whore the old man was shelling corn to the pigs, said :— "Mr Hogrow, I suppose " I don't suppose anything, si;.' " Well, then, you doubtless kuow " I don't know anything." " That's all right then. I am going to marry your daughter, and by next corn planting you will know something. Do you weaken, Mr Hogrow ?" "See here, young fellow, I cant anord to lose my gal. I have had powerful bad luck this season. The cut worms begun on the corn by the time it came up, and the bu«s pitched into the cotton, and to make things worse, my best mule and one of my cows got into «. fight the other day. Jlie cow hooked the mule and the mule kicked the cow, until both ot them died. So, under these circumstances, I'd rather youd marry somebody else." , "I don't accept your misfortunes as excuses. I'm go.nj; to niarry the. girl." "I'll'tell you what I'll do, Dick., 11l make this agreement: We'll wrestle and if you throw me the girl's your n ; if I throw you she's mine. If you marry her against my will I shall pleasantly exterminate you. If you throw me and marry her, this farm, together with the gal, is your'n. 111 give three trials-one to-day, oue three weeks from now, and the other six weeks. Dick was compelled to agree, although the old man was recognized as the best wrestler in the country. He had challenged everybody and had thrown everyone who ' had accepted. After eating dinner the old man announced his willingness to take the first ballot. Dick was willing. The con testauts, including the girl, went into the yard, the girl took the hats and the men crrapi'ilcd each other. The signal was giveu and Dick went over the old man's head and ploughed a short furrow in the ground. " Give me my hat," he said to the girl. "Don't give it up," she remarked, haniUu" over his tile. "Go away and practice." Dick left discouraged, but taking the cirl's advice, wrestled with steamboat men and farriers until the time for the next trial came. At the appointed time, Dick appeared at Hogrow's lesidence. "Feel like you can cut your capers putty well V' asked the old man. "I tbink so. I feel that my cause is just, and with the aid of kind Providence I hops to pile you." "Providence cornea in putty handy at times," said the old man, pulling off his coat, " but it's a harder matter to buck agin an old stager. Get outen your jacket. It I fall, the gal and the farm is your n. .Four hundred acres, and all under fence. Ual

weighs one hundred and fifty. Big inducements." Tho two men grappled, and again Dick plowed up the earth. " Don't give up>" said the cirl. " No," said the oid man, " for the land is under fence, aud the gal weighs one hundred and fifty—can handle a hoe Won derful >" Dick went away and pondered. It was evident that the old man could throw him every time. To lose the girl was to wreck his life. A thought struck him. He smiled. He left the neighbourhood and remained until the time for the third fall was nearly up. On the appointed day he visited the oid man. "I hive agreed to everything," said Dick, " and now I ask a favour. Hitherto 1 have been embarrassed. Let the final trial take place to-night in the dark. I will j meet you here at ten o'clock." > "Any way suits me," replied the old man, " I'll meet you anywhere." At ten o'clock the old man stood in the yard chuckling. His combatant climbed the fence and approached. Without ex changing a word the two men grappled. The struggle was short. The old man went up into the air, came down and struck the ground with a force that almost took his life. He \%y for a moment almost uncon scious, Dick raised him up aud assisted him into tho house. " The gal and tho farm i« your'n," said tho old man, and the young couple em braced each other. The next day they wero married. Shortly after the cere mony was over, a large negro man ap peared at the door aud attracting Dick's at teutiou, and said, " I wants my ten dollars. I flung tho ole man bard 'nough to kill him. Where's ray monoy?" Dick gave him ten dollars, and turning around received a searching look from the old man. " I'll explaiu," said tho bridegroom. "Rcaliz | ing that I couldn't throw you, aud ut tho same time realizing that my happi ness depended upon this marriage. I resorted to a bit of treachery." Hero he stoopped to buckle his arms around his wife. " I founa a big negro tint I knew could throw you, and offered him ten dollars. That's why 1 wanted the wrestling to take place in the dark. After he had tlirown you, I rushed forward and raised you up." AVhen Dick had finished, the old man looked at him for full livo minutes and remarked, "It was a mighty mean trick, but the farm and gal are your'n. Four hundred acres under fence, aud the gal weighs one hundred and fifty."
