So the tailed men of Kalili are not myths. When, a year ago, we published a ful), true, aud particular account of these singular people, together with a minute description of their caudal appendages, accompanied with a life-like illustration by our special artist, representing the Kalili men in their native simplicity, sceptical readers set the whole thing down as a sensational invention, notwithstanding that the Eev Mr Brown added the weight of his testimony to the existence of these natural curiosities. But, we waited with the resignation of conscious iunoceuce,until convincing proofs were forthcoming, and have not waited in vain. Mr Goldie, the New Guinea explorer, has seen the tailed men. and has come forward in vindication of the Star's veracity. We refer our readers to the news from New Guineainanother column. ' 'A 11 things come to him who will but wait," says the proverb, and we wait. We wait until one of these tailed and horned specimens of humanity shall be caught, and brought to Auckland, when we shall not fail gto afford the public an opportunity .of inspect- I ing hiaa.
