Hero is an example of what the Maoris may expect under the new Native Lauds Act. Two or three year* ago the owners of the Mangaporika block, 29,000 acre*, between Gisborne and Wairou, were offered, by a European, 15s an acre for tbe land. They refused, considering it worth more—ami we are informed that, though hilly, it is excellent country. The Government managed to buy a small share, “ proclaimed ” the block, and ere now offering the owner* 2s an acre. Under the new Act it would not have been even necessary to acquire eue share. — Hawke* Bay Herald. The Bov J. H. Mackenzie, who was personally acquainted with the late Captain j Mclntosh, of the s.s. Wairarapa. informs us of a remarkable event iu the life of tbe late captain. A few years ago Captain Mclntosh left on a trip tc Scotland in order to fulful an engagement made 21 years before under the following circumstance*:— One day three friend* met at an inn in j the Highland*, and after dinner it was agreed between the three, that on that day 21 years after they would, if alive, meet in the same spot. All tiiree lived to keep the engagement, and after dinner was fiauued. they were informed by the landlord that tbe dinner had been cooked by tbe same man who had performed a lib" office for them 21 years before.— S.Z. Timea.

A deputation from *he Australasian Federation League waited on the N.S.W. Premier on Monday and laid before him their scheme of Federation. Mr livid, in reply, said that looking back on the past, there were some passages in his opposition to the National Convention which he reflected upon with regret. While some of the main provisions of the Rill drafted by that Convention were defective, yet it was an admirably dear measure, and as a piece of draughtmanship he thought it the best he had ever seen. As the Federal Council was to meet at Hobart iu January, he believed it desirable that a conference of Premier* should be held there. Mr Turner, the Premier of Victoria, approved, and there was little doubt such e. conference would be held.
