THE MAORI PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE ISLAND.
While the foolish natives of Taranaki are fighting and impoverishing themselves, it is gratifying to hear that those of the Middle Island are engaged in tilling the ground, building better houses, and following the example of their best friends the Europeans.
At Otago the Europeans have formed a society for the elevation and improvement of the Maories. For this purpose they have generously subscribed considerable sums of mosey to build a school house, to pay a school master, and to devote any surplus as prizes to those who have the neatest and most comfortable house, or the best tilled farm. It will be seen by this that where the natives are few they are generously treated by the Europeans, and their welfare and preservation as a race cared for. A hostelry for the Otago natives has been erected by the Governor's orders, at Dunedin, that they may have a comfortable shelter when they visit that Town.
