It in worn euspended from it magnificent necklace of pearls and diamonds which were given to Her Royal Highness by her father. WALES A BUSY MAN. For a Royal personage who is usually accused of devoting himself solely to his pleasures, the Prince of Wales has of late shown himself in a light that must some- what astonish those who are apt to carp at his exiatence. Constant attendanoe 00 such commissions as that on the not very en- livening question of pensions for old age is not a very frivolous amusement, and battl- ing to modern oratory in the House of Com- mons cannot be asserted to be flippant. No one knows better than the Prince of Wales how to mingle work and pleasure in his duties, not one of the lead important of which is to be the leader of amusement in the capital of an empire from which the ruler is habitually absent. In this respect the Prince had a very exceptional part to play, and considering how fierce is the light that beats down on his every movement, his position is one that demands a possession of twat such as few could boast. The Prince has always unobtrusively and with infinite tact ranged himself on tlae side of his future subjects. His vote oven has been recorded in the House of Lorda spinet the majority of the Queen's lieges, and in a hundred ways he hen proved his sympathy with the aims of the people, and a genuine interest in their lives. "ITDRIZEL" .AND "PERDITA.” The Prince has named two of his horses Florizel and " Perdita." Few are row quainted with the origin of the patronymics, but they have history in connection with the House of Wales, and for that noon doubtless the Prince selected them. The names recall a romance in the life of George IV. ; it is a romance free from scandsl, for the admiration of the then Prince Regent for pretty Mrs. Robinson, the actor Garrick's pet pupil, WAS purely platonic. Ib was on a December evening in 1779 when "Their Majesties' Servants" played by Royal command at Drury Lane, A Winter's Tale," and the King, Queen and Royal Family were all present, that Mrs. Robinson, as Percliga, captured the susceptible heart of Prince George. GEORGE FELL HEAD OVER HEELS /N LOVZ. The Prince was from that moment her slave, and wrote letters by the score signed " Florizel," the Earl of Essex being Cupid's messenger, and if accounts be true, wooing Perdita only too successfully for himself, though sent on his Prince's behalf. Perclita was charmed by the romantic form of her royal admirer's attachment, and met the Prince by moonlight in Kew Gardens, the Bishop of Osnaburph being present to play propriety. Mrs. Robinson became to the Prince a second Egeria. Deathless was to be the young Prince's love'and his munificence was to equal his heart In proof of this latter he gave a bond for $100,000 to be paid to her on his coining of age. HE SIGNALIZES BIS CHARACTER AS A BurTE. In a few months the Prince attained his majority, refused to pay the money, and made no secret to the lady that his " dyieg " love had ceased. He pawed her in the park pretending not to recognize her, then the young lady flung at him a remark which, to any one of more soneitive nature, would havestung him to the quick. And so " Perdita," scorned, moved about in society, WAS received at the French Court, where Marie Antoinette presented la belle Anglaise a purse kiiitted by her own royal Sugars; and finally after settline in Brighton—the home likewise of Mrs. Fiteherbert, another of Flibrizel's flames—and writing pretty verses, she died in the last year of the last century. "Poor Perdita " said Mr. Bidden& "1 pity her from my very heart." ALBERT EDWARD'S DAILY BREARFAST. It is very natural when it is remembered that Albert Edward is 52 years of age, that he has drank of the cup of pleasure to the very drege, that his appetite, equal to that of a hunter at his very best, has long since left him (a menage and a slice of bread and butter is his morning meal five days out of six), and that for such a man there is naught new under the sun. There is no doubt that the Prince of Wales at the present time feels very depressed, MA he must do so if he be human, for the sight of the drawn, sad features of the Princess, who will never get over her bet -loved child's death, would inspire pity in the breast of any one who knew the circum- stances. A portrait of the Princess taken about six weeks ago shows shockingly what ravages sorrow has wedeln that stall beau- tiful face. That Her Royal Highness is in a very bad state of health there is no doubt Both Queen Victoria and all her family are moat anxious about her, and their oee hope is that the present cruise in the Mediter- ranean will reatore Her Royal Highness to health and strength again.

Teaeliers Oilit of Tonsh—Their " Loveot 1015racie-8'lle Coulter 'Vices of White CtvIllzatlon—Epolled by Our Education. The Press of Christchurch, New Zealand, publishers an essay by Apirana Turupu Ngata, a leading maid of the needs, con- taining hie views on the pest and future of his own unhappy people—the first; env, it is believed, even written by a Maori of un- mixed bloocl. Apirana, though educated at a local university, and full of Bash& knowledge, rernalvs a native in feeling, in sympathies, and in aspiration& and his whole utterance, vehich is often singularly eloquent, and always free from the Indian taint of unreality, is penetrated through and through by a kind of reflective horror of the white man, who, he nevertheless olearly perceives, in the inevitable conflict of their destines, will ultimately and speedily stand a victor and alone. His thoughts are all sombre, and almost all worthy of attention. He floe not, indeed, though he evidently exults in the Maori past, add much to our know- ledge of its details. He accepts the theory of European inquirers, that the Maoris are probably either Malays or members of a race foroed to emigrate by the Malays, who, after a long residence in the Navigator 'elands, set 'mil under some unknown im- pulse for New Zealand, and there grew and prospered and developed what,for want of a better word, we may call a polity. orrhecenn BY THE MIRACULOUS. It was to be expected that, as an antiquarian, Apirana Turupu Ngata would be more or less of a copyist, though his references to his own legends, as supporting the European story, have a value of their own; but be has often quite distinctive thought& One of them, in particular, is well worthy of missionary attention. There is a tendency among the new missionaries to rely for success chiefly upon the ethioel teaching of Christianity, or upon the atone- ment it offers for sin; but Almeria, though a Christian himself, believes that the at- traction of the new creed for his country- men consisted wholly or mainly in the miraculous career ascribed to Christ, which struck their fervid imaginations, always haunted by desire for the supernatural. TER PASSING OF THE MAORI. He wanders away almost at once to that which evidently fills, or, if we may say so, chokes his mind—the decay, and, as he thinks, approseshing extinction of his heroic people. in epite of their slight recent increase, which he acknowledges as an accidental fact, the Maoris are dying, he says, of con- tact with the white BUD ; and nothing can save them but a miracle, which will not arrive. His only hope is for the eurvival of a few who may be elevated in morale as well as mind ; and even in that fragment, as it were, of a national destiny, he has but little confidence. Through °teleran after column runs the same melancholy refrain of angry hopelessness almost equal to tbat of the Marquesan who regards a coffin as the most acceptable of prese.nts, and makes it thence- forward his bed. te'SfenetISTIAITS OUTWARDLY, SAVAGES YET. His countrymen, says the Maori ohief, in spite of all that has been taught them, re- main savages still. "The feelings and motives that influence the Maori's inner and more private life to -day are the seine that iefluenced him agrs ago, though tamed and refined by conformity to European cuetonas, by contact with European civilization, and by the far-reaching influence of Christianity. Your Maori of today is but the savage of yesterday, polished and draped in Euglieh finery. Within him there are raging the •fierce paseions that but a while ago made him revel in slaughter and cannibalism. His hen& are bound with the manacles of oivilizttion and humanity, but they are realms to grasp once more the spear, the taiaha, and more, Outwardly, he accepts the truth of Christian teaching, and wor- ships the Pekehe's (white's) god most rev- erently, but his mind is governed by super- stition, his secreb longings and natural tendencies are towards the tohungas, the only vieibla monuments of his old priestly regime." RELIGIOUS TEACHERS OUT OF TOITCH. No badelibteimpreasion has been made upon the Maori mind, nor can the surface impression be deepened, for to deepen it there must be contact between the Maori and the Pakeha (white man), and in that contact is the data:notion of the weaker race. There is no hope in religion, says the chief, for the religious teachers of to- day have lost all touch with the inner life of the Maori, and no hope in educetion, though in itself the best of all things, for education does but take mental tone out of a Maori. Full as he he is of hatred for the Pakeha, the latter still tyrannizes over his imagination, still compels him towards a degrading imitation cf his ways of life, still draws him irresistibly towards the settlements, where drink and idleness and sexual vice kill out the lovverpeople, leaving behind them only a half-oaste race ; upon whom the chief, with that incurable pride which we find everywhere among the pure- blooded peoples,pours out, almostehrieking, the full vials of his wrath and contempt There is no hope, says the chief, of improve- ment in this respect. The Pakeha lad is A GOD TO THE MAORI gamma and the only remedy is the deportation from Netv Zealand of all the lower whites—a remedy which, while he suggests it, he him- selt pronounces to be "impossible." Edu- cation art we have said is wome than • 1, useless. "By educating the Maori, you generally render hire unfit to take part in the struggle for life in which his race is engaged. You render him vertiatile, pliant and yielding under the influence of An English mind, conceited and overbearing towards his own people. It is true that the higher Maori sehoole have pent into the world men and women who aro in every way qualified to fulfil the duties of Thittlitib subjects, who are eeetally and morally equipped for the daily battles of life. It is true that their higher education has made them more sen - bible to the rood that may be derived from industry, az d hae enlightened them to the danger in which their race in placed. But with all their oiled intellectual and moral training, they have in the Majority of camas relapsed into the wage of their parents, and exerted the most evil influence by their example."

A fatal case of ahooting took place to -day about eight miles east of here, by which john Fiezsimmons lost his life. The ownership of a house and small pieces of land in the locality mentioned, and near the St. Law- rence River, was in dispute. Fitzsimmons olaimed it by right of purchase from all the heirs but one, and Mrs. Jolts claimed it as the heir whose intereat had not been pur- chased. Three weeks ago Mrs. Joke' family moved into the house and took pos- session of the property, whieh was previous to that time unocoupied. They lived there undisturbed for two weeks, when one night John Fitzsimmons and three of his sons appeared at the house and forcibly ejeoted the Joles family, throwing their effects out on the road. There was considerable re- sistance, and the affray was the cause of several charges for assault, etc., at the Police Court here. The oases were tried hero on Monday and Tuesday last, when the Police Magistrate reserved his decision until to -day. This morning he dismissed all but two of the charges, and fined John Fitzeirnmons and one of his sons $5 eaoh and costs for asaaulte Whether the decision was taken as up- holding Mre. Jolea' right to the property or not is not known, but this forenoon she and her husband took their effects back to the house with the intentien of moving in again. Mr. Charles Shipman is Mrs. Joie& father, and his story is that be happened to be passing the place: when his daughter and eon -in-law reached there with their goods. They called him to assist them in unloading, and he went over to the house. Just as they stopped at the house the door was pulled open from the inside, and John Pitz amnions, who was in the house, appeared in the doorway and forbade them entering. Shipman attempted to parley with him, and tried to go in the house. Fitzsimmons' then, according to Shipman's story, fired several times with his revolver, and than beat Shipman unmercifully over the head with ie. „Shipment retreated, and Paz - alma -To -a retired to an inner room and closed the inside door. At this time Ship - man's son, who, had been hunting ducks, came along with his gun loaded with duck - shot, Shipman took the gun, and going to the door called out that he was not afraid now as he could shoot, too He pointed the gun at the inside door, expecting Fitz- simmons would open suddenly and would be cowed by the eight of the gun. But the door did not open, and in the excitement the gun held by Shipman went off, acci- dentally, aa he says, the shot going through the door. Waiting a few minutes and call- ing to Fitzsimmons without obtaining an answer, they burst open the door, and found him lying dead on the floor, the shot having penetrated his chest. Shipman then came to Gananoque and surrendered to the Police Magiatrate. Be was badly cutabout the head. His wounds were dressed by Dr. Emery, who probed them, but found no shot. Shipman is now in charge of the chief constable, and will be taken to Brook- ville jail to -morrow. A coroner has gone from Lenadowne to hold an iuquest. Fitz- simmons was a large man, 57 years old.

The oelety in the Church. Bat in these times the society business has been overdone. Nothing can be done without organizing a society for that par- ticular purpose. Two evils result from this tendency: (1) Individual effort is not de- veloped, where people get the idea that there must be a society for everything. (2) The Church is weakened by the withdrawal of workers that she greatly needs in her ordinary work. The society frequently is deemed more important than the °hutch. — Christian Guardian. iTh THIAL FOR 90 DAYS. The finest, conapletest and latest lino of Elec.. trical apalan ens in tho world.
