Munificent subscriptions continue towards the Melbourne Anglican Cathedral Building Fund. The Hon. Henry Miller gave £5000, Mr Joseph Clark a further £1000 yearly for five years, and Bishop Moorhouse £1000. Te Whiti at Parihaka, feeling his influences crumbling away to dust, desires to re-establish himself in the minds of his followers. Bat he deals in ambiguity of speech : various interpretations are given of his last socalled warlike oration. Te Whiti is an astute reasoner ; he is a clever humbug, and like Friar Tuck, who knew what Richard Coeur de Lion could do when he gave a blow, Te Whiti knows that the pakehas' blow means an extinguisher, and neither he nor his followers mean to try that blow. But should they so desire, Wellington's inspiring words would be the watchword of our brave Btalwart boys now on the Plains — " Up, Guards, and at 'em." The flower of the field is concentrated in our A.C. Force and their officers now under canvas. We understand that the stores at Hawera supply all the Baking Powder (Moa Brand) of Sharland's make. This accounts for the fine physique of the Force, observed by' all who visit the Camp. — [Advt.]
