THE PROPHET RUA.
HAVING A GAY TIME. Rua, the so-called prophet, visited Opotiki recently (says the Opotiki Herald.) He was accompanied by three of liis wives and a number of followers. • His visit was highly appreciated, and many business people have reason to remember him as a. "jolly good fellow.' Rua, just prior to his visit, had become possessed of a substantial sum, variously estimated at from £2OOO to £SOOO, part of the proceeds of the sale of the Waimana lands, and during his stay in Opotiki lie spent money in cavalier style. The snarers of his joys and sorrows were gaily bedecked, and shone resplendent in jewellery and other incidentals dear to the feminine heart.
