IRISHMEN IN NEW ZEALAND.
WHAT LORD PLUNKET SAID. According to a report in the "Irish Independent," whose representative interviewed him on his return to his family 6eat in Ireland, Lord Plunket spoke with pride of the success of Irishmen in New Siealand, instancing Sir Joseph Ward, the Prime Minister. "Wherever . you go," continued his lordship, "you find tho Irish doing exceedingly well, and, thank tiod, there are no differences of opinion, religious or political, between them. I .saw myself in Auckland the Protestant and Catholic Bishops walking, arm-ia-f.rm, through the streets, cracking Irish jokes, and certainly, so far as I am concerned, the kindest friends I had thert> were nmongst my Irish compatriots, especially the Catuolic Bishops, and the priests of their communion. I think it is a country iu which Irishmen have done as well as iu any part of the world, and although I should be., tho last man in the world to support or encourage emigration, if the Irish must emigrate, I don't think they could find a happier or more richly-endowed country thau New Zealand."
