TE WHITI.

[From the Auckland Free Lance.] Tb Whiti is a mere,-bogie, the flaw-head and Bloody-bones of a nursery tale, He lias neither the romantic heroism of a Sclmmyl nor tho formidable numbers of a sitting Bull. He is a mere commonplace nigger in a _ breech-clout, with the repulsive surroundings of dirt and squalor. There is nothing to distinguish him from the average type of savage, beyond a certain degree of craftiness in disguising his-utterances in enigmas. He is the oracle of a New Zealand Bundalinda. He veils his grovelling ignorance and counsels in raving • imaginings which pass for profound wisdom and inspired prophecy. He is one of the Frankensteins developed by a long course of maudlin philo-ftlaorisin, amateur diplomatising, and pet pampering. He is a unique combination of the creative genius of Sir George Grey and Exeter Hall. Paviliaka is the Borrioboola Gha of New Zealand. Future generations will rank this sliam prophet with the bogies of tradition.

A trip to the Empire City may not only bo made pleasurable but profitable. To those who can combine business with pleasure, it must bo gratifying to inspect the largo stocks of seasonable Drapery and Clothing, such as can he seen only in a vast centre of population like the City of Wellington.
