THE MISSION AMONG THE MAORIES. . Mount Pleasant, Utah, Oct 5th 1SS7. EoiToK StvNriNtL. In the last letter the writeis introduction into Maon-dom- " was promised. Alter leaving Auckland, myself and companion took a steamer, sailing some 600 m.les southward landing at Wellington, the capital of the From heie we took: the tram for sixty-tw- o miles iato the interior of the country, landing us at our field of labor, amonsj the dusky Maories My companion, having stopped to visit friends on the way, I was met at the station by a young Alaori lad, who conveyed me to the home of his grandfather, the president of a branch. We reached our destination late in the afternoon, and in the evening a nice supper was prepared, European style. The pieal excelled many meals prepared by. w Inter classes. I thought if that was "Maoridom! could thrive better than in any other place; but alas! It did not continue thus I feasted on the good things of President Ihaia for a few days so bounteously prepared bv his charming daughter, Coiiana, after which I was to try other places. At length Sunday arrived, and it was fully known throughout the pa" (village) that the "kaimia-tu- e hou" (new Elder) would preach. Long beforp the hour of saciament meeting, the Saints, and others, began to gather, to see their new minister, as I was designated. Each one ol them gn eted me with a hearty shake of the hand, and many greatly desired to have a hongir' (rub noses) with me the first thing. I stoutly objected to this, but process of time I enjoyed the hongi" quite well.

Consequently we all accustomed ourselves to Maori etiquette by degrees. After meeting was over the Women began fetching in the Kai" fOod) in large tin pans.

The f rod is sweeter to the natives when they can lick the lingers and smack the chops, as they all do quite freely. After the meal, all hands have a family smoke, male and female. This is immensely enjoyed by them. Afternoon services were held, the audience all being seated upon mats which are spread out upon the floor. The writer thought they would be weary s tting with crossed legs lor so long a time, but soon learned to the contrary. The reparation of lood is what the writer was most interested in. After a few days I was joined by my companion. We accustomed ourselves to early rising, to scrutinize the method of prepaiing diet. On one occasion we were satisfied and he remarked, to me : Let us go for a walk, what the eye dont see the heart dont grieve over." However, our appetites increased the longer we remained, and if hands were unwashed, feathers! head, feet, and entra Is left on the fowl whn cooked, we could stomach it, quite freely Fish were cooked in the same way.
