SIR W. FOX AND TAWHIAO.
We find the following in the Northern Wairoa Gazette When Sir William Fox went to Auckland with Mr Glover on a temperance crusade Sir William evidently reckoned on Tawhlso’s good name a»a“ frightful example.” But Tawhlao seems to. be surfeited with temperance preaching and temperance principles. He knows that temperance is a good thing, but his majesty believes In unostentatious temperance. But be does not believe In proclaiming it from the housetops, and so when. Sir William called to see him the other day at Wbatiwhatihoe he was "not at home.” Sir William left his card and a blessing, but as the latter was not understood, and as the former was not negotiable at any of the stores, Tawhlio returned neither. Speaking to a friend, subsequently, Tawhlao said that temperance men were the worst to entertain. One ate a* much solid food as two drinking tpep; and besides they generally borrowed money before they left.
