penalty which the law admitted of.

The Hawaiian gazette., 1875-04-07
New Zealand.

A correspondent of the Attstralasidn gives
the following short but graphic sketch of the
progress of this enterprising colony:
ats fine harbors, its gorgeous scenery, its
fertile valleys, its prosperous to wnships, each
with peculiar charm of its own, live in the
memory; as does also the conviction that the
country is making, through its natural gifts and
its present Vogellian policy, gigantic strides in
civilization. Whether it will permanently main
tain its position or not remains to be seen.
There are many, both in the colony and out of
it, who prognosticate evil days when the rail-
Way loan is all spent and the employees are
thrown out of their work But the country has
vitality enough to survive more than one crisis
Its wonderful natural resources, combined with
energy on the part of its people, and climate
inferior to none in the world, are bound to
make it, in the end, highly prosperous nation;
and so will be brought about one factor, at least
towards the fulflment of Macauley's dream
We may add that there has been a Government
immigration of upwards of $4,000 persons, that
a very small proportion of them is employed on
the public works, that even now contractors do
not find enough labor to meet their require
ments, and have been advertising for consider
able bodies of men, while the farmers in Wal
kato find the men so scarce that many are en-
ploying Maori labor Let crises come, as
come they will in the history of every country.
Let wool fall in price, as probably it may, for
it has done so before now, and will again. Let
agricultural produce exceed the requirements
of our own consumption, which, as yet, it has
not done; for the exports of wheat from Can
terbury and otago have been more than counter
balanced by importations of agricultural pro-
lucts from other colonies. Let all this happen,
let tightness in the money market follow, and
here have been signs of financial crisis,-we
10 not fear for the future"

"we hope our census authorities win takea
hint from the Hawaiians, Let us have series
of relief maps Of the entire territory belong
ing to the United States at the time Of each
decenuial census. A single mould will furnish
any desired number of plastor-oasts exhibiting
the Typographical features of the country, The
census will afford the details Of doconnial
growth, and gradations of tint will exhibit at
a glance the increasing density and extent Of
population, from the period when there were
but thirteen sparsely-settled colonies along
the Atlantic coast until, State having been
added to State, our millions of people fill the
land Tho cost of such an exhibit would not
be great, but nothing could show so clearly at
a glance the history of the national growth.
The above is certainly very complimentary,
and shows that original ideas can emanate from
Hawaii, which will not be despised or over
looked abroad. A similar reference to our pro-
posed model appears in one of the San Fran
cisco papers, which adopting our proposition,
suggests that model of the State of Cali
fornia be prepared for the exhibition. This
mode of illustrating the size and chief features
Of any country is considered the most attrac-
tive that can be prepared for the popular eye,
and best calculated to show at glance the
principal physical characteristics of the cou-
Try represented. We hope some slilliul per-
son will be found qualified to do justice to this
desirable undertaking.

Intemperance in New zealand.

Among the passengers by the Mikado, en-
route for England, was the Hon. VIM. Fox,
who for many years has been leading poll
tician in New Zealand, and for some time a
member of the Vogel administration. He is
also well known as a strong temperance advo-
cate and a member of the Good Templar fra
ternity. Prior to his departure from Auckland,
he made stirring address on politics, tenn
perance, etc, which is printed in the papers of
that city. From criticism of it in the Times,
we copy the following 1t will be observed
that that paper does not coincide with him:
Mr.. Fox in vigorous terms upbraided the
clergy Christian Churches because they have
not thrown themselves into his grand crusade
But this should not excite surprise when it is
known how little Mr.. Fox himself succeeded
in making clear the scope and purposes of the
movement. In the earlier part of the speech
it was the advocate of permissive bill to
whom we were listening. As he advanced and
and his fervor grew stronger, the permissive
bill and its principles were forgotten and the
rigid prohibitory law of the United States
Good Templars was held up as the model to be
adopted in our legislation Statistics were
quoted in behalf of this view, but, as we have
before confessed, our belief in extempore sta
tistical conclusions is never very strong, and
least of all when they are applied in support
of foregone conclusions. Mr.. Fox tells us that
they are 100000 habitual drunkards in the
United Kingdom and that one-tenth of these
die annually from this cause. These terrible
statistics were given with bated breath and
terrified countenance, and were very effective
from an oratorical point of view. But a mo-
ment's consideration shows they ask us to be-
lieve that one out of every fifty of the men,
women and children in the United Kingdom
is habitual drunkard-a statistical conclu-
sion at which common sense rebels. The same
carefully compiled statistics were applied to
cur own colony. The methods of calculation
were artistically described by Mr.. Fox but his
