DEATH OF A KING

King IaShIao OF New Zealand
died on August the 18th al Kihi
kibi. New Zealand. The de
ceased was the highest chief
among the Maoris aud retained
his title as King until his death
He was about 7otears old aud
witnessed during his life the
transformation Of NaS Zealand
from barbarions cJSntry into
the highly civilized State Of the
present date
The late King was a son Of Ie
Wherowhero with whom nobody
could compare in geneal gy IN
New Zealand. Tawhiao was
never esteemed very able man
amongst the Maoris, bat BIZ IL
lustrious descent, and his having
succeeded to all the titles Of MS
father, caused him to be looked
up to by the natives with a kind
of venerstion. \
His experiences with the mis-
sionaries were told in an inter
view with a newspaper some
years ago. They do not differ
much from the experiences which
the old Hawaiians had with their
beloved teachers OF chris.iani
ty and mortgages The Nold
king stated. The first mission
aries in Waikato we're Stock,
Hamlins, Williams and Morgan.
The missionaries told rs that
we should be burned up unless
we believed. A European came
to ask my father 10 sign the trea-
ty of Waitawgi. That European
was the missionary Mr. Maunsell.
IThe Ven. Archdeacon Maun-
sell. He had a Maori with him.
Ny father refused to sign Mr.
Maunsell remarked to the Maori.
This ignorant old man, if he
had signed ! would haven given
him Ia blanket My fathers
name was afterwards put to the
treaty bat 4 ,ros nsrer tritea By
himself"
In 1892 Tawhiao was differed a
Government pension of e2l0 a
year, but acting on the advice Of
his chief adherents he formally
repudiated in his official gazette,
published at Maunglkawa, the
idea of surrendering mp his au-.
thority to the Government He
returned the first instalmeut, and
thus ended all attempts to make
him a Government pensioner.
With many weaknesses and fol-
bles, Tawhiao had uudeniable /
patriotism, and refused a bait /
which would have been eagerly !
snapped up by many OF his Euro
pean critics. At one time he |
might have had a somi-oiFicial /
position as Native Superinten- |
dent and $1,000 a-year for life if /
he would have surrendered what /
he regarded as the cause Of his
country and his eountrymen.

unknown places. May lie there
