The influences of civilization upon Te Whiti during his enforced sojourn among Europeans have been very marked. A recent visitor being invited to breakfast with Te Whiti, went in fear and trembling, anticipating “ high” shark and dubious cleanliness of serving. Wbat he did get was a thorough English breakfast, with tea and coffee, and eggs and milk, etc., served in irreproachable style, and on a tablecloth of scrupulous cleanliness; while Te Whiti was courteous, and quite the “ Pakeha’’ host. In short, the effect of Te Whiti's introduction to civilized life and schooling in civilization has had the best results, and is bearing the happiest fruits. He is going in largely for planting English trees, and for improved cultivation and sanitary reform generally. This is a marvellous change in less than two years. Florilinb !
