A correspondent Of thu Hawe's Bay Herald,
who Inns recently been among the Maori tribes,
near Lake Taupo, in the central district of
Northern Now Zealand souds very Interesting
though maintaining an independent attitude to-
ward tho Colonial Government ever since the last
war left tLom unsublued. hnyo not testified any
readiness to join thoir co-rcligionists to tho
north on the Wnikato in tho uutragcs which
have lately raised tho foar Of fresh lloBtillieH.
According IT, his report, Hauha,1lsm has toned
down from It's frat bloody axtrayaganccs into q
quiet and respectable sort Of lnonotheism. The
UauhauB havo agreed to rojcct tho New Testa-
ment In lis entirety, but they havo accepted
tho DID, and from their native trunslations
Of it crested what Is, In fact, Juda-
ism Of thoir own. They Lave even
tako up thht or tho jewish Sabbath mud, in
fact III all things conform to jewish practice 10
fur as their knowledge enables them to 60. At
tho headquarters Of The tribe, the Ureweras, q
morning aud evening service Is inevitably ro-
cited daily but, moro practical than certain Of
our High Church Earty, they mako these daily
levotions merely matter Of ton minutes or 80.
Tho EerSico outside consists chiefly in chanting III
chorus verses Of The Psalms, and concludes With
d short extompole prayer by QUO Of the chiefs !;
fer tllis tribo appcars to have got rid Of tho
native priests who lol them into rebellion. The
Ureweras have great knowledge Of Scripture,
and arc especially fond of juBtifying their own
fierce aotH iu tho last war by rofolouce to such
caaes aH those of Jael and SiBera, or Samuel and
Agag; Notwithstanding which precodeatB. they

THE NEW PARADE GROUND.

A Suitable Site Selected for Schooling
Sons of Strifc-Etghty Acres at Inwood
To He Laid Out n Parade Gr0und-
When 1t Will BE Completed.
In 1871 there was bill passed by the Legislature,
ntitled can act TO alter the map or pla n OF the
city Of New York, by laying out thereon public
place for a parade ground, and to authorize the
taking OF the same by the city," which invested
the discretionary power in the Department OF
Public Works. Shortly after the passage OF the
bill General Shaler put himself in communication
with the Department, and requested an early OPP
portunity to confer with them relative to the
necessary steps to be taken in carrying out the
provisions OF the law above mentioned. His re-
quest was answered, and Mr. Omsted, the land
scape architect OF the Department, was appointed
to confer with him in determining upon the site for
the parade ground
For some months these gentlemen searched the
island for a suitable location, and carefully con-
sidered every proposition that was made to them.
IL was first thought that the Harlem Flats, north
OF the Central Park, would be the most desirable
and convenient location; but for some reason the
project OF establishing there was abandoned,
and "a lew months since q plot OF eighty acres at
Inwood was selected. This piece or land Is very
irregular, part OF 1t oeing hill and the remainder
swamp; however, its cheapness has induced the
Department. to avoraDly consider the project OF pur
chasing IT, They estlnate the present value OF the
property to be about 100000 and say that 1t Is one
OF the most convenient locations the island, for

THE BEST SOCIETY,""

Lecture by Miss Emily Faithful mt the
Saturday Popular Mntinees at Associa-
ton Hail.
Emily Faithful delivered to O large audience,
mostly ladies, lecture yesterday afternoon at
Association Hail. entitled "Thc Best Society.n 1t
was not, as might have been expected, lecture
on society" as generally overwhelmingly
dealing with men and women as they are
represented in the refined walks OF life ;
but 1t dealt with the still small voice
Of literature, and Miss Faithful introduced
her audience TO the best society OF the best minds
"a found In her own library. Books were the best
from the best society, then good and cnoice books
was period so prolific as the present Is OF light
literature. Women were not only large producers
Of this, but they were also large consumers. The
light literature that was harmful Miss Faithful eIO
quently condemned, but paid a glowing tribute OF
admiration to George Eliot. Passing on 70 the
notable lack Of earnest and original thought Ia the
general reader, she gave her views on the
vexed question OF education. Earnest eloquent,
tender, touching and pathetic counsels were al
dressed to the audience as to the development OF
a thoughtful purpose In reading, and interpreted
with these counsels were recitations from Lowell,
from Tennysons "Idylls", and the war poem,
somebody's Darling" The lecture was applauded
with q ripple OF genteel feminine plaudits, and
Miss Faithful strengthened very greatly the favor
able impression she has made since her arrival In
this country.

CUSTOM HOUSE AFFAIRS.

Spring Trade Fairly Begun-Ncarly
Five MILLION Dollars Duties Collected
Last Weck-Highly Important Ruling
Regarding Flax Straw-The New York
Surveyorship.
Nearly five millions OF dollars have been collected
for duties on imports at the Custom House during
the past week. which has been one Of uncommon
activity and hustle. The various transatlantic
steamers, laden down with valuable merchandise,
which were overdue, have come into port and in
numerous instances the goods on board had already
been made free by payment OF duty by the adj
vance invoices. AS matter of course the brokers
have had their hands full well as the Oflcers of
the government. While there has beef an I'm
mense amount OF money paid as tariff on the i'm.
week. more than double the value OF such
goods have been sent to bonded ware
houses. to be taken out as exigences or de-
mand requires. The general prospect for q busy
and enivening Spring trade Is exceedingly
bright, and If the heavy snow south and west did
not embarrass the regularity OF railroad traffic the
Wholesale business would, at the present time, be
in most nourishing condition.
Considerable excitement existed at the Custom
House last week, concerning decision made by
Hon. George S. boutwell,, secretary OF the Treasury,
in relation to an importation Of an article styled
In New York, the inventor OF machine with
which to separate fax from the straw, imported
o number OF bales OF the latter material, and en-
tered the same as '.fax stawn
Section 500 Of the law OF June IL, 1870 provides
the following tariff
On sas straw s. per con on fax got backed ,S or
substitutes for hemp othe provided for SO per
ton tow OF the fax Of hemp, $40 per ton; on Jutc
butts 50 per ton.
Under this law the importer claimed that his i'm
portation covered the first named arrGle-nax
straw-and Onered TO pay s. per ton: TINS was
refused and $40 per ton demanded. Inc money
was paid under protest and the case referred 70 the
Secretary Of the Treasury, to whom samples OF the
material were submitted The Secretary decided
in favor Of the importer, ana unless S re-
the decision will stand as the law OF
the land, covering all similar cases likely TO arise.
There is some difference OF opinion existing among
the officials concerning the Secretary's stand in
this matter.
