Maori Parliament at Orakei.

SATURDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.—Con tinued.

The parliament was opened at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning. Renata Kehna (Ngapuhi) thought the 3rd, 4th, and sth parts of the programme were as one. The Government stopped the p»y of assessors ; they had no sorrow nor love for native chiefs ; they had stopped passages, food and medicine. He said : Why have the Government done these things? Is it because they are ignorant? Then why did they not look out for the chiefs bet entitled to office; Was it thought a wa3te of public monies? He replied no! The ox mentioned in scripture had no share (or right) to the corn, but he was allowed to open his mouth and eat of it. Whereas the speaker contended the Maoris have a share in the monies of the colony of New Zealand, but the Government had shut their mouths that they should eat none of it. This was a greet wrong. Ibaka (Ngatiwhatua) spoke for four tribes. He supported the views of the previous speaker. Government had erred. Te Hemera Tauhia (N^atirangi) spoke at some length, chiefly explaining the two first clauses of the programme, which re ferred to the treaty of Waitangi, and the meeting at Kohimarama. He dwelt on the unjust treatment accorded the natives since the treaty, aud declared they had not waived any of their rights in favour of the Pakeha. Puraehe (Ngatiwhatua) upheld what To Hemara had said, and also hoped this Par liament would continue from year to year. He condemned Government fornot keeping up the chiefs an formerly, but somewhat modified his expressions as he proceeded, and ttated his willingness to allow Govern ment to keep their money, provided they gave the natives good medicine. Paraehe took each clause seriatim, eulogised Commissiouer Kemp, condemned Bell and Fox, and praised Mohi Tawhia, for refusing to go and fight the Taranaki natives (i.e. on the Commission). Te Hemara again spoke advising love to continue between the races. Hirini Taiwhaoga said no good could come to tho natives from the Europeans. It was 40 years since the treaty of Waitangi. Be could see nothidg but trouble and blood shed since that time. He sketched the pro gross of events from the treaty of Waitangi to the actions of the present Government. He contended tbat tho only way to settle the troubles of Te Whiti and Tawhiao was to take them (the trouble) to England, and for the Maoris to subscribo money to pay the expenses of a delegate. Paraone Njjaweke believed in opening Parliament with prayers, otherwise a man could come in. and tell all manner of lies, or ona man might perhaps say another was lying, unless he could provehim to be drunk. Paraono had always upheld religion since the missionaries came. It was the best thing brought to the Island ; the next best was the treaty of Waitangi. He would not Bay much about the stopping of salaries, he would go for the road boards. It was wrong their land should bo taxed. He wanted more Maori members of Parliament,.that he inijrht give ft vote to Sydney Taiwhanga. Rawiri Puhata (Ngatiwhatua) supported the views of To Hernara, and of Hirini Taiwhanga, Eruena Pairimu (Ngatiwhatua) said the word* of liiriui Taiwhanga should be held fast Let the Native Parliament he separate from tho European Parliament, but both under one law. After an adjournment of a couple of hours, Paul Tauhere opened .proceedings again. He severely criticued speakeri who bad wandered from the point, and hoped all would in future stick to the subject. The first and second clauses wero first to be settled. Herewlna Maiu advocated the permanent sittings of the Orakei Parliament. Patoroma (Ngatiwhatua) supported Here wina. Hakuene Te Katu (Ngatiwhatua) agreed with one part of Taiwhanga's speech, but not the other part, as he thought the Government were doing wrong to the Euro peans as well as to the Maoris, because Government took pennies (customs duties) from public-houica and stores. Wiremu Tamati (Waikato) commenced at the treaty of Waitangi. Things went smoothly till the arrival of the Governors, then the laws were trodden on. Maoris' rights were trampled on, and their powers are now killed. The finishing of that word is to diminish the Native Minister. He (Tamati) heard what Hirini said about Tawhiao, but Hirini had heard the words of Tawbiao (at Kopua) that " I, Tawhiao, am the man of tho Island." The Ngapuhis were against this. They did not sanction it i.c , re-appointment of the king. Tawhiao wished to be head sf New Zealand. Eru Kuarangi (Ngatiwhatua) would up" hold the words of the elders and the words of the Que*n of England at the Treaty of Waitangi. Mohi, from Judge's Bay, said he spoke as the slave of Europeans though a chief of New Zealand. He spoke of the troubles of the tribes, and counselled love. Apihsi Te Wharepouri (Ngatiwhatna) made a start from the Treaty of Waitangi, but Paul thought they had heard enough about if, and ordered the bell to ring for the votes. The fust and second clauses of the pro gramme were unanimously carried. All were in favour of this parliament from year to year, and also of it* being separate from the European Parliament. The third clause was next discussed.

Hiriui Taiwhanga condemned the conduct of Government, and advocated Maoris tak ing their parliament away to themselves as Government had taken their money away.

Wi Hopihanamoe(Ngatiwhatua) approved of Taiwhanga's utterances on the bad works of tho Government They hod stopped the salaries of chiefs wbo had befriended not onJy the Government but also European! from one end of the province to the other. They hhd reduced Paul's salary. P«ul thought that subject had better be dropped. Te liemara followed with a very jagacioua speech. After pointing out that the Gov ernment had used and then dropped the Maori chiefs,he said the Government would probably be mindful of the injustice they were doing tbe Maori rangatiras when they came to want backing up in any nativo busi ness in the Honse of Parliament. If war came, the Government need not look to the Maori chief*. They had separated from natives. Natives should withdraw from Euiopean parliament and have their own, nUo their own road boards. He appealed to tbe chiefs present. Had they not sixpence left in their pockets that they should run after Miluries ? Let Government keep their money. Kawiri Puhata (Njjatipona) agreed with '•Hirini Taiwhanga about a Maori parlia ment, but not to separete entirely. Taiwbanga explained that his Parliament was as a third, added on to the present Houses of Legislation, so that any native bills piesed would have finally to pass th'ongh the Maori Parliament before be coming law. Patoromu supported what others had said respecting clause 3. Herewini Main also supported the name. Mongonui (Ngupuhi) spoke energetically. He would have all surveys stopped at once throughout the colony. They had been insulted after wtlcoming Europeans to this island. Some stood up and cried because Government had stopped their medicine. There were lots of medicine in the trees of the forest which Maoris used leforc the Government came .Let them keep the medicine. Hctene Kikokiko (Ngatiwhatua) in an earnest speecb, said though the Govern ment took away his last shilling, yet would he cling with affection to the skirts of their garments. They might shake him and knock him about, but he would stick to Government. Tatana (Ngatiwhatua) supported Tai whanga in his first speech. Eruena Pairimu supported the old chief Kikokiko. The words of Hiriui were also vrry correct. Te Keepa Matu thanked Paul for estab lishing a" Parliament for tbe good of the Maoris. He supported Kikokiko and Taiwhanga. 'lhe beil was rung, the 3rd clause was unanimous'y disposed of, also the 4th, sth, and 6th, and the proceedings terminated for the day. On Monday they would commence with the 7th clause. SUNDAY. This day was strictly observed as a day of rest. Between the intervals of the services the Natives occupied themselves in eating and taking siestas in their tents and houses. The Rev Mr Ashwell held a well attended service in the morning, and Rev Wi Pomare in the afternoon.

TO-DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

(Pkb Stab Carrier Pigeon),

To-day AramaKarakaHautatu and about thirty of his tribe arrived. They were met on the beach by Paul Tauhere and all the assembled, There was a great tangi in

The City of Cork arrived a little after twelve o'clock, with Adam Clark's people. Paul's people met the visitors on the beach, and welcomed them in the usual enthusias tic Maori style. Paul's tribe led the way up to the large" house, where all stood up and had a great cry. After this was accomplished Wriahou carried up the provisions they had brought, consisting of 20 boxes containing 8,000 eels, many bags of shell fish (dried) known as the Touerora, from the West Coast, a ton of biscuits, a number o£ bags of sugar, &c. It was then placed in front of Paul's house, then the Wriohau called over the food to Paul and Hemara, After a while Te Hemara got up and sung song 3of welcome, also of lament for the chiefs who had gone. Paul is now singing songs of welcome and of lamenta tion for tlie death of Panama, Rev John White and other chiefs present at his late Parliament (1879.) Paul says this is not the work of other people, but it is our own Parliament com menced last year; it will be good for all the people of this colony. Te Otene Kikokiko is speakiDg ns I fly the bird.

Cannot recognise the prisoner as the person to whom I paid the amount, but know his initial*, which were on the receipt (produced). Thos.

He occu pied, that position on the 4th February last, and for some time previous. It was his duty to receive all money paid into the bank, and to cuter the same in the waste-book. It was the duty of tho teller to pass tho Blip which was paid in with the money, shewing the amount, on to the ledger-keeper, who then gayo it to the cash-book keeper, who filed it tor refer ence. He had examined the books and found nothing to show that any such deposit had been made. He reason to suspend the prisoner subsequently on another charge.

Prisoner acknowledged having kept back the slips shewing that money had been paid in, and stated that they were in hi» coat pocket, and that he had lost the money in betting and drinking. I found the slips in question along with others as stated by the prisoner in his coat pocket. Frank Nicholson Hawkins, ledger-keeper in the Bank of New South Wales, deposed : I have never seen the slip (produced) before, consequently the amount was not placed to Mr McMaster's credit.

Mr Hancock has an account at the Bank of New South Wales, and on the 6th Feb ruary a sum of £52 was deposited by Mr Geo. Gledhill to his account. No record of the transaction had been made by the pri soner, who received tho money. The pri soner stated that he had paid cash for the chtque, thereby balancing his cash.

Correspondence.

THE QUARANTINE STATION,

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—A letter in the " Herald" of this morning, from an immigrant, signed E, Lathorpe, shows that the treatment of the immigrants, now in quarantine at Motuihi is simply atrocious. A large number of healthy people are kept half starved, and unless something is done the number of sick on the island will be augmented. Mr Lathorpe says, women who are suckling children do not get the nutriment they got on board ship, and both women and children are daily getting weaker in consequence. Many will probably have to go to the hos pital for want of proper nourishment. The water is not lit to drink, and there is but little of it. If they complain to the Doctor he simply snubs them. Mr Lathorpe says he has complained to Mr Barnsley, and he told him he must get a written order from the doctor. He continued, we have not had any butter for three days, and for soup we have meat boiled in water, with no vegetables, sometimes almost putrid meat is served out for dinner.

In conclusion, Sir, I would ask what is tho use of keeping all those who arc healthy, on the island in a half starved state. They I believe, have washed all their clothes, and are pretty well aired by this time, and ought to be sent up. If small-pox or any other virulent disease was amongst them, it would be another thing. But those who are sick, are so Eirnply from confinement, add the great heat on board ship. Their present treatment is not likely to mend matters at any rate. —I am, &c, H. G. [The above letter has been held over for inquiry, and is now referred to in another column.— £d, E, S.

WHO SHOULD BE OUR EDUCA TORS.

(To the Editor.) Sic,— Will you kindly permit me to state my views on the great question of the day —who arc, or ought to be, the educators of the people ? Iv order to come at this ques tion it is necessary to go back into history, and see who have been the great educators of the people for a»csbefore the art of print ing and other improvements i" the scieuce of education. Iv order to do that our coun try was studded over with superior colleges, where learning of the highest class was pur sued by a numerous class of the com munity, aud from them spread all over the country for the benefit of the people. Aud now comes the question— who were the educators of the people ? History tells us it was the Church sup ported by the Government to whom the people paid simple respect as their lawful educators, both morally and religiously, and now, in these modern days, who are they that pretend to be the educators of the people ? Why the Government of the day; men whoso ideas are as changeable as the colours of the chameleon, aud, as_ far as religion is concerned, it is almost ignored and ridiculed. Now, sir, who are these men that they should usurp the functions of the parent, on say, what sort of education I shall give my children ? I claim the right, as a father, to educate my children as Hike, but then to do that 1 must pay twice, and that, you know, is more than a poor man can afford to do, and is a temptation to many to accept what they do not like. Four sarcastic remarks on that high digni tary, Archbishop Vaughan, whose educa tion and knowledge of the world far surpasses your own, I think is very bad taste, aud only shows what a state of chaos aud confusion we should be iv if we had not such men to boldly staud for ward and proclaim to the world who are the proper educators of the people. If any of the sects choose to neglect the education of their children let the Government do it by all means, for it is the birthright of every child to be educated, but I repudiate the right of the Government to dictate to me what sort of education I shall give my children. I find from late reports from England that the Government pays 75 per ceut. of the cost of denominational schools, and if such a system was carried out here, I believe it would bo much to tho advantage of education, and in a few years we should have less of the larrikin element among us, and less juvenile thieves, for the children would then be brought daily under the caro of those who would teach them the rules of' life as well as the rule of three. It may be thought presumption in me, who am only a working man, who never had more than a penny-a-week education, to touch this mat ter at all; but sir, I claim ns right, so sacred that the Queen herself, God help her, has no right to interfere in, much leas au theoris ing Government, who do not know their minds from one session to another, and who by their speeches, often, set all the Joverß ot God at defiance, aud take on thomselvcg tho right ot dictating to me how I shall educate my children. lam sorry to take up so much of your space, but as I am' actuated by a desire for tho good of this my adopted coun try, I hope you will tako it as a sufficient excuse for troubling you.—l am, &c, A Christian Father.

Presbyterian. General Assembly.

The Presbyterian Assembly resumed Its court sittings this morning at ten o'clock, in St. Andrew's Churcb. Present : llev li. F. Macuicol (Moderator), Keys D. Bruce, I). W. Runcimau, J. Macky, A. Carrick, and ether ministers; also, a number of elders of district chuaches. OPENINO SKUVICE. The Assembly was opened by the Rev the Moderator, who read 72nd psalm and offered prayer. The hymn. (149) was partly sung by all present. MINUTES. Rev David Bruce, senior clerk, read the minutes of tho Assembly of Saturday, which wero confirmed. THANKS TO FRIENDS. Mr It. Frascr proposed a vote of thanks to the Auckland friends who had so gene rously entertained inouibcr3 of the Assembly from a distance.—Carried. INSURINCI CHURCH PROPERTY. Rev. Mr Lindsay proposed, and Rev. Mr Sherriil seconded, "That a committee be appointed to make the best possible terms with one or other of the assurance companies for insuring the properties of tho church." Rev. It. P, Macmcol and two others were appointed for the purpose of the motion. SABBATH SCHOOLS REPORT. The rev. moderator read a voluminous report of the Sunday schools, shewing their numbers, statistics, &c, with suggestions for certain improvements and an expressed wish that the Committees of district schools would send in their reports to convener in sufficient time, so that every particular re specting tho schools might be embodied fully in the convener's report. Rev. J. Mackay proposed that a vote of thanks be given to the Sabbath School Com mittee for their interesting report, and in doing so Mr. Macky spoko at some length on the importance of parents ns-isting teachers, by inculcating religious instruc tion at home. Rev T. Norric seconded the adoption of the report, and agreed generally with the tenor of the report, ho hoped in future, as intimated by Mr Macky, that statistics would be more fully nupplied, he hoped the present committee would be continued. Revs Mr Munro, Sherrifl aud several others supported the motion, which was carried. SYSTEMATIC EXAMINATION. A member suggested that there should be a periodical examination of the children of the various schools, and if necessary, a syllabus of subjects be prepared. If tho Presbytery thought proper he would pro pose a resolution to this effect. This matter was not pursued further. DIVISION OF I'ttiSBYTBUY.

Two petitions wero introduced, soliciting a division of the Presbytery for the con venience of Ministers and elders who can not always find it convenient to attend the Auckland Presbytery. The petition sug gested that one division should be called the Presbytery of Wauganui, and the other as herett fore.

Rev Mr Runcitnau said that tho manner of introducing such petition was not in accordance with the practice of the church of Scotland. Rev. Mr Torrie spoke at some length in support of the proposition for a now presby tery, with reasons for the same. Key. Mr SherriiY supported Mr Runci man's remarks, and said there was a want of unanimity of opinion on the subject among ministers of the districts from whence the petitions came. Rev. Mr Patteson having offered a fow remarks, Rev. Mr Runciman still contended that tho petitions wero irregular. If auch had come from Auckland or Wellington they would be regular, otherwise they wore not in order. Mr R. Fraser suggested that the matter bo deferred. Rev. D. Bruce said tho Assembly had not time to discuss the matter at present, and he would move that it bo adjourned, in order that more urgent business might be taken into consideration. COLLEGE C iMMITTEE'S KErOKT. Rev. Mr SherruT submitted tho report and recommendation of the select committee ap pointed to consider the report of the College Committee. Rev. G. W. Munro proposed, " That the report, which was the best ever produced in the Assembly from the committee, be adopted." Mr E. Fraser seconded. Rev. Mr Runciman, and Rev. Mr Sidey thought some discussion should arise out of tho report. Rev. D. Bruce thought the rocommenda. tions should be taken seriatim. Rev, Mr Patteson objected to students or young ministers being placed upon certain stations and removed without the sanction of the Presbytery.

One or two other points were urged, when on the motion of Rev. Mr Sidey it was re solved, " That they go into committee and discuss matters upon which opinions wero divided." Key. Mr Runciman. moved, "That the Acts of 1879 bo abolished." Kcv. J. Macky naked that the Acts of 1879 be retained, stating his reasons for re taining them. Ho would mo\c for thoir retention, Mr K. Fraser seconded, simply because their time was short, aud by retaining them time would be given for the maturing of something which might be constituted in their place. llev Mr McKinnou asked if the question was to be discussed or not, he rose to a point of order. Key D. Bruce went into a long explana tion, quoting from laws of the churcli for the purpose of meeting the difficulties, and he would certainly support the amendment of Key Mr Macky, for the retention of the act for the present year. 'lhe amendment was agreed to. OF STUDENTS.

The next section of the report was the re moval of students, recommending that the E lacing and removal of students be in the ands the Church Extension Com mittee.

Rev. Mr Patterson objected to leaving this matter in the hands of tbat committee, it would not work well, it was, ho believed, unprcsbyterian, was wroug iv principle, and unwise in polio}'. Key. Mr Bruce enumerated a number of difficulties, and thought the wisest plan would be to let very well alone. It was a very delicate matter to deal with. Rev. T. Norrie was inclined to hold with the views of Mr Bruce, showing that if students were in the hands of the Church Extension Committee, they were often delayed in useful work because they could not get tho sanction to make certain collec tions, or do certain work at necessary limes. After some further remarks, he would ask Mr Patterson to withdraw his motion. Rev. D. Bruce moved, aud Rev. D. W. Runciman seconded, "That the report of the committee le adopted." Rev. Mr Patteson still pressed his motion, with a modification, "by consent of the Presbytery." Mr Bruce snid this involved a contradic tion, and could not be. The show of hands was iv favour of Mr Bruce's, "That tke matter, as reported, be adopted." Rev. Mr Sidey asked if they were to sit to-morrow? The geueral wish was that the business of the Assembly be closed to-night. The Assembly was adjourned until two o'clock.

They began at once to procure all tho available casks in Auckland besides employing vetse's as means towards the performance of tho contract. Amongst tho vessels thus engaged was tho schooner Mary, of winch the plain tiff was tho owner. On behalf of himself and partner Mr T.

In the meantime Ware purchased the casks and then left for Tauranga afior giving instructions that they should be sent after him. Ho left ac cordingly. Tho schooner wos duly laden with the necessary material, {and she was just on the eve of sailing, when Ware, find ing that the contract for tho raising of the sunken steamer repudiated it altogether. Tho May therefore was detained and un leaded. Before the expiration however of the month for which ehe was engaged, she made a trip to the Bay of Islands which realised £45 aud that amount ho supposed would have to be deducted from the claim, leaving £55 to sue for.

The Court then proceeded to take evi dence, Thomas Miccol being the first witness.

ELDER SORENSON IN REPLY.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —One side of a story is good until tho other is beard, aud 1 will with your kind indulgence eiamiue Mr Anti-Smith's state ments and ace ■where they will laud him on his own confessions. (1) "lie would like to make an appeal" certainly he has a perfect right to do so. So will I, ■ but my appeal will bo to the reason and good sense of the inhabitants of Auckland, and I may add not to their prejudices. (2) As for being duped by Mormonism. They thnt embrace it must know best themselves, and their evidence on this point is surely to bo taken in preference to Anti-Smith'» mero assortion. (3) He says I preach anew doctrine revealed to Joseph. Smith. This is an untruth ful statement. I say wo preach the old apostolic doctrino with its powers and and blessings restored by God to the prophet Joseph Smith, and nil mankind who choose to yield obodiencc thereto. Rev. eh. 14, v. 6 promises such an event (4) It being different from our so-called Christian sects. That's true, indeed, for they are all in apostacy—root, top, and branch. Witness them all professing a form of godliness, but donying tho power thereof. From such turn away, says the apostle, aud so say we. (5) He says all I heard can bo found in our own Testament and is the same as the Apostles delivered •n Pentecost. Mr Anti-Smith I thank you for that admission. If this is so, why do the wicked howl? God will make the wicked praise him, and if bo why do Bible believers object to our teaching ? (6) Differ ence of opinion in the sects he says ho knows cxltt, whereas Paul says, one faith, one hope, one baptism. How' does he nc count for this? Not half-a-dozan faiths &c. Are the sects right and Paul wrong ? I think not. One of tho hearers aaked a question. Would he daro to go into any other religious meeting and start to ask questions in the middle of the discourse? I think not. If he did not approve of it he should have gone away peacefully, and if he is blinded to the truth let him try to behave himself decently. As for questions; please to write them out properly and by the blessings of God I will try to answer all of them relating to our people or their religion. As for directing the Chairman to vacate the chair, we do not desire to quarrel with people neither during nor after meet ing, and this spirit seemed to be so much in the ascendant on the part of some who at tended there, that I considered it my duty to break up the meeting, and under like circumstances should think it wisdom to act likewise. As for his questioning and exposing Mormonism so called, why certainly go at it, but it,will be found hard to kick against . the truth. Paul tried it once, but did not make much of a success of it. (10) He says he wants to expose false doctrine. How does he make this tally with his previous admis sion that it was all in our own testament? Is your own testament false Or is it because the Saints preach it ? After all your sects have departed from some of it. Is it that, or what is it that makes it false ? If it was true eighteen hundred years ago, is it not true to-day, or when did the gos pel change? Now for oui addition—That you will iind recorded in the 2-lth chapter of Isaiah, aud I hereby warn all New Zea land to turn to God, as his judgments are about to be poured out on this our earth to cleanse it and purify it before the millenium which is near at hand.—Respectfully yours, John P. Sorenson, Elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

THE MAP AGENT AND THE DEALER IN SUPERANNUATED CLOTHES.

An agent with a wall-map of four Stites to sell enteied a Jefferson avenue clothing house the other day in search of a customer, and not a word was said until he had uu rollcd his map and spread it out over a counter piled up with clothing. Thou he said : "A complete map of Michigan, Ohio, In diana and Illinois, and the piice is only twelve shillings." " Would you like to buy an ofcrcoat ?" asked the dealer, as his eyes left the map to scau the man. " I guess not; but I want to sell you this map. It shows every county iv the four States—every railroad—every river—every county seat. No business house should be without one." " I can sell you a pair of pants mit two hind pookets for shust what you pay for a west in New York mit no strap on del1 pack 1" remarked the clothier as he began to handle the goods. " This map shows even the smallest vil lages. Here where my finger rests is Detroit. Down this way you go to Colum bus, and from thence to Cincinnati, where Deacon Richard Smith can always be found after 7 o'clock in the morning. Do you want to go to Chicago ? Then follow my finger and I will leave you ia front of the Grand Pacific." "Here is a second-hand coat mit a grease spot on the tail clat I can sell you for dhree tollars ; and 1 tell you nopody else puts prices down to der notch like I does. Yxist try him on.' 11 Do you have business iv Indianapolis ?" continued the agent. " Here is the route to tako. Do you want to go to Marquettc next summer ? Behold the direction anil distance. I wouldn't be without one of these mupa for a hundred-dollar bill." " Und I wouldn't be mitout dis coat mit dis grease spot on der tail for a two-hoon cred-tollar pill." " Don't you want a map ?" "Doan you want a coat ?" " What do I want of that coat when I have no use for it ?" " Vhat do I vhauts of dot map vhen I up stairs lifs here 1" " But don't you want an idea of the State you live in ? Which way is Grand Rapids from here ?' " Vhich vhay is der front door from hero?1' demanded the clothier as he drew himself up. " Then I can't sell you this map V " Then I cau't sell you dot coat?" " Shake," said the map man as he started to go. The clothier shook. 11 Would you tako this map at a dollar?" " Would you take a summer west at fifty cents ?" The ngent wanted ono more word. Stand ing with his hand on the latch he said— " Wheti you lind out the way to Cleveland please let mo know." " Vhen you finds der way to Shackson let mo know." was the answer, aud they separated, never to meet again.— Detroit Fi (V Press.
