The Wanganui Chronicle says:—A Maori celebrity named flemi Tautari died at ,has .residence at Tamarere, Kawakawa, 'of the 30th- ultimo. He was a great chief of the hapu of the Ngapuhi tribe, called the descendants of Hawato. His sentiments were ever in .QQHqeyt with those of the Europeans, rrbm his childhood he lived with missionaries at Pahia, where he was taught the ways of Europeans, and became thoroughly attached to them. He was appointed an asses|or the Government, and had always proved himself a very honest one. Referring to, the death of the chief. Mr Tawhai, Sf.H.R, writes to the Post:— The main feature in this chief’s life was his faith in God. We all feel deeply grieved that he has gone, but he has followed in the path of his parents and ancestors to the hidden land. We, the living, grieye here in vain, for we know the words Job spoke-of his children, ‘The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. ’ This chief,. Hemi Tautari, has gone to the bosom of J his Father, Jesus Christ, who reigns in Heaven, where there is rest everlasting. Sufficient. From Hone MohiTawhai, M.H.B. Americans arejusually presumed to be able to take good care of themselves. A representative New Yorker is the very last-person on whom an unoriginal mind would think of trying the confidence trick. Yet on a representative New Yorker the old, eld game has been played with perfect i- success. Mr Reuben Wood is described as “an American gentleman, representing the Hew York section of the American articles at the fisheries exhibition.’’ Mr T. Hall, on the other hand, seems to be in an unworthy sense a fisher of men’, and he has made Mr Wood his gttdgboh. - On the 15th of May Mr Wood Waa ! walking down the Strand, when he met'a man who called h’mself an Americatty and offered the refreshment- the harmless refreshment —of a cup "of coffee. The pair Went into a restaurant in the Strand, when Mr Hall entered the roorii, and 1 into conversation. He said he had LI,OOO tosend to the poor in America, and this sum he would hand over to any philanthropic citizen of the States who could prove hp was himself beyond want, and (therefore) beyond the suspicion of dishonesty. Then the. first stran er went 6dtj ‘came back, g've Mr Hall LIOO in notes, and waited while Mr Hall and Mr Reuben Wood took a stroll. Having thus tested thei solvency and generous trustfulness‘of the first stranger, Mr Reuben Wood could not hesitate to submit himself to a similar test. Mr Wood gave his pocket-book, watch, and chain to the owner of the LI,OOO, who went out with the other stranger, and curiously enough did not return, again. Then Mr Wood knew he had been done by‘ the aged confidence trick. However, he waited, and in the return match he scored merrily, for he saw Mr Hall in Yilliers street one day, and gave him into custody. Mr Hall I^ t hesn : B£tntpnced to five years’ penal servitude, and on the whole has had the worst of the match. But if all Americans are like; Mr Wood, the States are the place to visit—with three thimbles, a little pea, the three card trick, and similar rescares of civilisation.
