Fred GaAvitli. —Supposing Ave give the honourable, gentleman a rest? Enough is as good as a feast.—Ed. Star. ‘ ‘ BACKWARD ’ ’ TARANAKI. (To the Editor.) Sir,—l cannot agree with Mr O’Dea. that Taranaki is so A r ery backward intellectually. He fails to see in “Doubl'eub’s” reference to a “man. in the moon” an advanced form of Taranaki humour, and. surely a man or 1 woman that can quote a dead language (and possibly understand it) like Mr or Mrs MeHaggis does, > even if he @r she does li\*e “in the reserve,” cannot be considered a dullard. More powerto him or her.—l am, etc., EGMONT. Inaha, October 15.
