A Discontented New Chum
A case (says the Post) which has been brought under our notice ' shows the way in which the reputation of the colony sometimes suffers. A welleducated man of middle age arrived in New Zealand by the lonic on her last trip. Finding hmiself unable to procure suitable employment in Wellington within two or three days after lauding, he proceeded to Aukland, in which city he was equally unsuccessful in obtaining a situation congenial to his taste. He then went to work on a gumfield some distance from Auckland, but after putting in a day or two there he packed up his traps and returned to Auckland. On arriving there, he found that the lonic \\ as leaving Wellington for England on Sunday, and forthwith he went ou board the Waihora and came back to this city just in time to catch the outgoing steamer. He expressed himself very much disgusted with the, condition of things in New Zealand, and on his way down from Auckland I he intimated his intention, on returning to Great Britain, of writing to some of the papers warning people against emigrating to a colony the inhabitants of which are on the verge of bankruptcy.
