II. Bishop advised him that there
was no opening for military skill in
this country, but promised him
country school TO teach. He went
away and got a position with Mr..
Schus.icr, Superintendent OF the
Spring Valley Waterworks, at a
salary three times as great AS he was

had q conversation with the Heir
Ap Jarent. lie Immediately asked
her if she would be willing to take

as President and j. kauhane Vice

asked the speaker advice. He ad
vised her not to give her consent t.
anything of the kind, not to taxi
the throne under circumstances o
that kind, by revolutionary means
She said that was her own idea OF
the subject. Whenever His Majest'
was willing to give up his throne 0
