stay in this pleasant locality had such an effect on his mental and visual organs, that he did'nt know whether he was climbing Jacob's ladder, or going down wi h Dante on a visit to the infernal regions, and hence his mental hallucination about the difficulties he experienced in tunnelling Ins way through that unique and wonderful structure yclept the Maori Whare. In conclusion, I will ask A. D. and his very particular friends to con over and study the following line 3, quoted from a speech of one of the greatest of British statesman, and which I have no. doubt will furnish himself and his coterie with food for reflection for a considerable time : —"The wretch, who, after having seen the consequences of a thousand errors, continues still to blunder, and in whom age has only added obstinacy to stupidity, is surely the object of either abhorrence or contempt, and deserves, not that his grey head should secure him from insults, much more, sir., is he to be abhorred who, as he has advanced in age has receded from virtue, and become more ■wicked with less temptation who prostitutes himself for money which he cannot enjoy, and spenc's the remains of his life in the ruin of his country.'" — I will now leave my beloved friend A. D. and his numerous respectable witnesses to chew the cud of reflection and would advise them to beware how they again attack and criticise the characters and actions of gentlemen. Yours &c., Darwinian. Boatman's November 23rd, 1883 n
