NEW ZEALANDERS AT HOME

Thi London correspondent of the Auckland Htrald says:—l hear that Mr and Mrs Gadsby, of Gloverdale, Patea, ara now touring in England. Mr and Mrs Moir, of EUham, are at present visiting Glamis, in Perthshire. They all intend to remain in this country until next September. Mr and Mrs Morey (New Plymouth) are at present in Ljndon. The former tells ma that though he is here mainly on a business visit, he hop;s to find sufficient leisure to go about to various places with his wife. Their stay in England will necessarily be brief, and they are leaving for the colony again at the end of July. They bad a very pleasant Homeward voyage, with moderate weathjr, and arrived here in good health. Mr Thornis Kelsey (New Plymouth), with Mrs Kelsey and their family, arrived in this country by the last trip of th 9 P. and O. steamer Aus- . tralia. They have come Home entirely on a pleasura trip, and are residing for the present at Windsor. They leave shortly for Scotland, and will also stay .at various watering places along the South of England, also at Richmond, and they wili visit bo-L Oxford and the H hakes pere country ia Warwickshire. Their present intention is to leave . England in August for California, , where they will stay with Mr Kelsey's Bister, subsequently proceeding via San Francisco and mail steamer to New Zealand. Information has just reached me that Mr W. K. Howitt, formerly of Patea, N.Z , hts resigned the position of postmaster at Tarland, in Aberdeen- > shire. Mr Howitt's work during the past two years has been of a very arduous character, and he feels tha* 12 hours a d iy—which are the post office hours in country offices in the United Kingdom -continuous work is beginning to tell on him. Mr Howitt intends to fp-nd throe monthj eightseeing on this side if the world, and then to return to New Zaaland, MILKERS WANT'JD FOIt NSW ZBAL^MO.

a particularly English art in the management of colonies, and this New Zealand aurangement seems a very good example of its methodi. King Jlahuta's credit is now deeply involved, in the maintenance of law and order amoDg his own people, because resistance to the Government means opposition to himself, and he has intimated to all whom it might concern that he means to see to their behaviour. We have no doubt Mahuta will maintain both the dignity and duties of his office. But it is a little remarkable that, while one branch of the Anglo-Saxon race cannot put up with a coloured postmaster, another welcomes the accession of a dusky fellow citizen to the Council of State itself.
