Johnston's River Again.

Sir,—‘' Live and learn” is, after all, perhaps the truest of proverbs, ancieut or moderu. Until your issue of, the 28th ult. the people of Juhneton’s River were utterly unaware of two important facts which were then disclosed to them, the first being that we have been asleep all these years, aad the second that we have in our midsta resident(/) who has sucha command ofthe English language in its most intricate forms. Upto that date we were of opinion that we were as intelligent and public-spirited as any section of P. E. I. Our people have not heid themselves inferior to any in intellect or enterprise until ‘* Resident” made the grani discov- ery that ours has been astate of som- nolence. But was it not an unkind act on the part of this would-be criticto issue such a torrent vf bombastic words for the benefit of people who are ina *‘‘ dormant’ condition? Why not first present each and every one of us with a copy of Web- ster’s Unabridged Dictionary? But then ‘** Resident ” evidently thinks that we have been prepared by a course of at least nine years within the classic walls of a college. ** Resident” has a tendency to forgetful- ness. He next makes reference tothe ** vedantic quillof ‘Gerrymander.’” Now, Webster tells us that pedantic means mak- ing a vain and unnecessary display of learn- ing. Let the readers of THe ExaMINER compare the work of ‘* Resident” with that of **Gerrymander,” and form their Own conclusions as to which of them deserves the adjective pedantic. Pedantic, forsooth ! **Resident,” for the future before you hurl such a bomlast forth purchase a dictionary and a grammar—any common text book will do—and study up the use of simple adjectives, and learn that the term pendantic is properly applied to a vain display of learning (?) including the use of many svilabled werds. But mark the originality of the next quotation which I shall make from the new and (would be) illustrious star which has arisen on the literary firmament. ‘‘Up to the issue of the 14th,” nothing, he says ‘‘was known of ‘Gerrymander’ save by reputation.” What ! nothing save by ‘‘reputation /” Nothing at all? Truly, this is the age of wonders. The existence of this person was not known, it seems,‘ save by report. Just imagine a personage who is invisible, whose move- ments are inaudible, who can neither be seen or heard, and yet is. We can scarcely use the verb exists with propriety. A little further, and mention is made of the admirers of ** ‘Gerrymander’ being many,” but did this much abused personage depart for the west ‘‘the mourners would be few.” Why, then our people must be possessed of either rare courage, or favored with that communion of spirits which is not usually given to mortals. When they can admire a something that exists only in the spiritual state, and if, as ‘‘Resident’’ im- plies, ‘‘Gerrymander’ has no _ corporal existence, then why should the mourners be any? Most trely, ours must be a dormant dreamy state when we can admire and mourn of shadows—ariel nothings. But, ‘‘Resident.” take a timely advice; be warned before it is too late; and when you next endeavor to air what you would fain make us believe is your superior knowledge, make sure of your own weapons and do not attempt to assist those whose

literary and scholastic reputation is established on too firm a footing to be affected by any such ** blasts” as yours of last week. But

alas for this would-be genius, this writer of misplaced sarcasm. A little further on he speaks of ‘* flattering praise.” More knowledge gained. Previous to this time an opinion prevailed, at least among the dormant inhabitants of Johuson’s River, that praise was essentially of a flattering nature. We had never before heard it in- sinuated that anyone could be flattered by censure. But it must beso. ‘* Plato,thou reasonest well,” There must be the praise that has a tendency to flattery and that which partakes of the nature of blame. How is that fora paradox ? To the casual reader ‘‘Resident” mustseemthe incarnation of bravery. How nobly he takes up arms in defence of those whom it pleases him to consijer that insult and injury has been offered to? What a _ marvellous courage he exhibits — on paper! How quickly he ascertains others’ feelings! How promptly he flies to the rescue! Did the heroic deeds of ‘‘Resident” equal his heroic productions, then would his praises riog in story. But toomuch of your valuable space has already been taken up. Enough. But when a person of “Resident's” stamp pre- tends to voice the sentiments of an intelli- gent community, and tries to vent personal spleen on an unoffending person, then it is truly time to take up the cudgele in our own behalf. Speak of insult and injury, indeed. ‘Resident’ has given both to the place he professes to be a native of. No, Mr, ‘Resi- dent,” we are xot sleeping—decidedly not ! We can even read and understand such a perfect cyclone of words as that you launched forth last week. in conclasion, I would say to ‘*Resident” once more: Study the simple rules of com- mon sence ere you sppear betore the public again in the character of a critic; and if st avy time you feel inclined to act upon Greeley’s advice, you will not eveu be so well situated as ‘*Gerrymander” was, whose ad- mirers weie many, but whose mourners (ac- cording to your statement) will be few, inasmuch as your admirers are none, and

your mourners—the same. Farm Pray.

CURIOUS MATRIMONIAL CUSTOMS IN NEW ZEA- LAND.

Strange matrimonial customs still prevail among the Maoris in New Zealand. The sav- ages there are most interesting in their man- nerof living as far ascourtshipand marriage 1s concerned. Girls are given great license from a very early age in the matter of lov- ers. Some girls, however. are born proud, and either kept to one sweetheart or have none, but this is rare. When a girl married she became tapu to her husband. Anyone outside the§relation of brother and sister could marry, although marriage of first cousins was greatly disliked. Polygamy prevailed among those who could afford it, and whose circumstances or inclination led into it, “but as the tribe supported all ia food, the mean men would be prevented, in some way or another, from having large establishments.

A COMMON PRACTICE.

Betrothal of children is common among people of high birth. If no betrothal there is generally a lot of talk and squabbling, everyone in the tribe thinking he hasa right to interfere, till at last the young couple, if lovers, would flee to the bush until their living together was agreed to. The gir! generally begins the courting. The writer has often seen the pretty little love letter fall at the feet of a lover—it was a little bit of flax made intoahalf knot. ‘Yes’ was made by pulling the knot tight - ‘no’ by leaving the ‘matrimoniul noose’ alone. Sometimes in the whare matoro (the wooing house), a building in which the young of both sexes assembled for play, songs, dances, etc., there would be at stated times a meeting. When the fire burned low a girl would stand up in the dark and say ‘I love So-and-so—I want him for my husband.’ If he coughed (sign of assent) or said ‘yes,’ it was well; if only dead silence,

SHE COVERED HER HEAD

with her robe and was ashamed. This was not often, as she generally had managed to ascertain either by her own inquiry or by sending a girl friend, if the proposal was acceptable. On the other hand, sometimes a mother would attend and say, ‘‘I want So-and-so for my son.” If not acceptable there was generally mocking, and she was told to let the young people have their house (the wooing house) to themselves. “Sometimes, if the unbetrothed pair had not secured the cousent of the parents, a late suitor would appear upon the scene, end the poor git] girl got almost hauled to death between them all. Girls have been injured for life in those disputes, or even murdered by the losing party. There was; generally a show of force, more or less severe; but after she had been taken away, the parents came to see the pair, and when presents had been interchanged all were satisfied.” —Press.

Lonpon, May 1.—The wife of Captain Roberts, of the White Star steamer Naronic, which has been missing since February 11, when the vessei sailed from Liverpool for New York, and the wife of Chief Officer Wright have both gone insane through despair coused by the loss of their hus- bands, and have besn placed in an asylum for the insane.

Sr. Hyacinrue, Que., May 1.—Custom House officers here say that 30 families, embracing nearly 200 people, returned to this country during April, and it is not probable that this fully represents the num- ber, as the return movement becomes more pronounced from week to week, especially to the Montreal district.

In Lowell, Mass., the bicycle is com- ing in for Jegal recognition in a new way. The chief assessor proposes that the owners shall pay taxes on their machines the same as men who have horses.

The English sailors received the lion's share of the applause awarded the foreign- ers at the land parade in New York, and the New York papers generally admit that they presented a better appearance even than Uncle Sam’s marines. This indicates that the Britishers are a long away ahead of the representatives of any other powers.

It ‘is announced that the United States’ Civii Service Reform Association hes pass- ed a resolution urging that the President should make appointments to office without the assistance of members of Congress. The Montreal Gazette, commenting upon this fact, remarks that ‘the Association ap- pears to have peculiar ideas as to what members of Congress are elected for.”

It is quite clear that the newspaper “stretcher” has taken up his abode in Chicago very early in the faireeason. The story of an attempt to eteal the ashes of Columbus from their resting place in the exhibition buildings reads so nicely that not one in a hundred would stop to think that these relics of the new world’s discov- erer never were nearer the windy city of the West than his body was in life.

Kansas is coming to the frovt as a divoree state, her courts having severed the marriage tie in some five thousand cases last year. So easy is it to obtain a divorce there that it is seldom one is refused when applied for. One result noted by « corre- spondent is that hasty marriages as well as the marriages of those who are practically children are on the increase. Kansas is 4 state of advanced ideas, where woman suffrage is the rule. The Gazette thinks that in her case the force which moral re- formers must count on seems to have failed as a defence of the home and the family.
