The Alaoris are one of tue nghteat aud bast of ab iriginaj peo pleh, aud therefore, btrange a3 it ap pta:s, tLey are ittre to be extu. uibl:ed b couiest with the Auglo o.aou race.

Tho Ma oa. a line, iuteihgont, apparently vigorous race, have- dwindled away tver since t e Uugliah cama near thein, and they themselves hayo long had a presentiment to the elFect that exierniinatiou v.-aa their doom. Thia belief is oppressed in a saying which may be translated thus: "As tuo i'akeha (white man) rat baa driven out the Maori rat; as the Pakeha Hy bus driven out the Maori fly; as tho Pakeha grass has driven out t-io Ma ori grabs, oo will tho Aakeha drive out the Maori." Of course, as in the case of weaker races, there has been much oppression and injustice in the treatment of the Maoris, but aside lrom that, the fact remains that there is something deadly to tnem in the proximity of the wtiite race. It is ubual to attribute the decline of native races to the adoption of tuo ore vices of white men, and thia is no ctubl, in suae cases, an mlinen tial factor. It has been so in Hawaii, but though the mjrals of tuo n itivs there huve been greatly improved, 1 heir decadence goes on notwith blundiug. Iho Maoris, however, Lao i.cver bun dit-solute. Ihey aro very temperate aud self-contained I eople, tnd, to a great exteut, have retained their simple tvays of living.

It might be thought that the Anglo-aaxon carried with was Bewailing his Ill-luck in the him an atmosphere fatal to weaker most vigorous, terms wheu a Stranger races, and that his mere proximity stepped forth from the Forest and acted poisonously upon them. There J said: are few more interesting races than "How little cause you have for the Maori, and they remind one iu those Lamentations!
