Our contemporary's last issue contains a correspondent's ill-natured strictures on one of qui recent articles. We only notice it on account of the enigmatical natuie of its con eluding paragraph. We ha v e read it and re-read it, and confess ourselves baffled—we must gh e it up. There is the asseition that we owe our inspiration to a Maori woman, some reference to our ruined prospects, our mercenary mind, and our undeniable right to dispose of the hand of the dusky, but at the same time fair, Princess. We can only account for the paragraph by charitably supposing it to have been written at the time of full moon.
