A UNIQUE CHRISTMAS.

It has been a and New Year for the Maoris now performing at the New York Hippodrome (writes a New York correspondent, on January 9th), and if some of their Kotorua friends could only see them going to or, from the Hipodrome at night they would be astonished. Ihe weather is cold—it was eight, degrees above zero the other night - and the Maoris are dressing for the cold just as the people of New York are, and they appreciate the value of furs. Two or three of them have gone in for furlined coats, and two of the men have bought some wonderful beadgear, and are known as Peary and Dr. Cook among the stage hands. They wear tremendous fur caps which come down over their ears and defy the cold, and a third man has purchased a remarkable woollen contrivance, which not only covers his head and ear, but goes right down under his collar and leaves no opening save a hole for his nose to come out of. Then there are the ear-muffs which quite a number of them wear —little velvet pockets for the ears which you carry in your pocket and bring out as occasion requires. They are something of a curiosity, but are a distinct boon and are largely used here.
