From the notes OF an English tourist who
was present at the great meeting of Maori!
held in May last, we Gull the following:
THE TANGI.
Sometim IS witnesseda curious ceremony
A tribe would arrive from long distance
after many years separation from theiI
friends in the King country. When the
newcomers were safely landed. they pro
ceeded at once to the tents of the Ngati-
maniapotos, and placed themselves in a row
before their entertainers, bowed their heads,
an commenced to weep and wall in the mos
piteous amer. This they called tangi,
or weeping and the idea, believe is this:
When old friends meet they at once COM
mence a mental review Of the trials and
sorrows which have occurred to them during
their sep ration, and they wall and shed
tears IN proportion to the greatness of their
Athictions. Ii was very curious sight to
see men and women bowling their heads and
sobbing like heartbroken children. Some
seemed to cry in a business-like manner, as
II they were not much interested in the per-
formance, but others. apparently at the re-
collection Of fresh afflictions, would burst
out into such piteous walls aud sobs that it
made one quite uncomfortable to look on.
RUBBING NOSES.
After the taHgi there came such a rubbing
and pressing os noses as only a Maori or a
Laplander could endure. OF all forms of
greeting that of Maori IS peculiar in its
eccentricity. They seize each other by the
shoulders. and pressing their noses together,
begin TO hum and purr like affectionate cats.
THE HAKA
Tawhiao then challenged the tribes to a
hak,, or war dance by throwing a piece of
{ IN at them. The excitement at once be-
came intense; hundreds of Maoris ran
hither and thither, shou'iug, laughing, and
with their faces all aglow with anticipation. |
Even the children became excited, and did |
solitary hskas upon their own account. At |
length. after much preparation, there was a |
great shout, and the warriors and women of |
the Ngatimaniapoto tribe appeared, bearing |
war clubs in their hands, and clothed simply |
round the loins with girdle of linen OF a
Piupiu (war matt. The performers were ar
ranged in two rows, the men in front, the
women behind Suddenly stalwart Maori
at one end of the line uttered loud cry,
clapped his hands upon bis-knees, and COM
menced to chant, and roll his eyes about
This clapping and chanting was taken up
with great force and clearness by both lines,
the performers throwing their heads forward
and backward striking their chests, flourish
ing spears and capping their knees, all in
eXcellent time. L WO native women OI rank
ran rapidly between and in front Of the lines,
crying out "s if the 6end possessed them.

up her hands. showed the whites of her eyes,
and rolled her stomach round and round in
the NEST startling and alarming manner.
The women became even more energetic in
their movements and cries than the men.

Trouble over the Pest Honse,

About two weeks ago the authorities,
after discussing the merits and dement's of
the various eligable points around the city
for pest house, decided the "Old Fair
Grounds" the most advantageous. The
grounds were obtained and house built.
Parties living in the neighborhood did not
like the idea of the pest house being
located there. Mr.. j. G. j. Williams and
others went before Judge Hall, and secured
an injunction bill" to prevent the city
from moving the smallpox patients to that
place. Chancellor Staley being absent from
the city when the case was ready for
trial, it had to be postponed until
tomorrow, Monday. Now, the committee
who have had charge of the matter-Alder-
man Michaels, chairman-wish tine citizens
of Knoxville to know that it has been no
fault of theirs if the smallpox cases have not
been moved out as promptly as they might
have been. The cases which have occurred
have been moved out-after time-but the
authorities had nothing to do with it.

Royal Benefit Association
still tn JAIL

We learn from the Nashville World of
December Sth, that Mr.. T. FL. Jones, presi-
dent of the late Royal Benefit Association,
after spending Wednesday night in Jail, was
on Tuesday brought before Justice Everett
in the Circuit Court room, for the purpose
of trial. Judge Reid was present to hear
the evidence, as it was thought an applica-
ton for habeas corpus would be made.
Jno. D. Brien, r. B. Sloan and Moses
Priest appeared in behalf of the State. The
defense was represented by A. j. Caldwell,
w. G. Brien, Thos. L. Dodd and w. A..
Thoma.
The State asked for a continuance
for the reason that they wished TO
examine the books of the company.
Mr.. Thomas for the defense, inquired
upon what warrant the prosecution was
being conducted.
Mr.. Sloan showed warrant sworn out
by ]. e. Binns, charging fraudulent appro-
priation of money under false pretenses,
and fraudulent breach of trust. 1t was
upon this charge they first proposed to try
the defendant.
, he State then submitted an affidavit,
upon which they asked continuance.
The defense objected to a continuance,
and presented able arguments in favor of
their position.
A continuance was granted until O'Clock
this morning.
By agreement the books will be placed in
the hands of the county judges, subject to
examination by both the prosecution and
defense.
Mr. Jones failed to give bond and last
night occupied cell in the county Jail.

ALEXANDRIA, December 10.-A
peaceful demonstration of several
thousand of the poorer members of
the foreign colony here, was made
to-day, before the consulates of the
great powers, to protest against any
delay in the payment of indemnity
for losses sustained by the lombard
ment of Alexandria. Nearly all of
the consuls promised to send tele-
grams to their respective govern,
ments, the represented demands of
the people. The French agent
warmly sympathized with the poor
peasants. He expressed an appre,
hension that a long delay in the pay
ment of the indemnity would cause
serious disturbances among the
lower classes. The English consul
is absent.

THE great majority of the people
Of the United States want:
lst. The tariff adjusted so SIS to
protect producers as much as possi-
bic and at the same time Cypress
consumers as little as possible.
II. The abolition of all internal
revenue taxes as soon as sufficient
revenue can be raised by the
tariff alone.
ora, The adoption of a method of
civil service reform that will pro-
teft the employees of the Govern
ment from bos8ism and assess
ments.
Ii the present Republican Con-
gress fails to satisfy these three
wants, the coming Democratic Con-

congress fall, the people will then
elect Congress that will not fail.

The war is over; and we predict
