Taranaki Herald), how- i'ar the Maoris believe in Te Whiti's boasted supernatural powers: On Wednesday a native was conversing with a pakcha oiithe subject, and'appeared to' be:; cjuiet ! confident that the bullets could not htirt hini when he had the prophet's protection; whereupon the pakelia prod&ced a revolver, and asked to try the experiment. The Maori most emphatically declined to exhibit the., pr.qpb.etypqwers, aQd Wfls doubtful, if the experiment would bp a.success. .; .
• SaYs the Taranaki i Herald of a recent date :—lt is stated here by well informed natives that Hiroki, the murderer, has left Parihaka, and is on his way to seek refuse amoajjst the JSLingites. In consequence of this report the Government haVe taken steps to intercept Jiiin by placing Armed Constabulary in the places he i- expected to pass through, and they are accompanied by half-casts and friendly natives who cun recognise Hiroki, aud who would assist iv his arrest. We learn that Hiroki had got lo&t in the busrh, where ho was for two days. Ho has returned to Parihaka.
