TABLE TALK.

Encore le Jubilee !

T'ca'der an buns ! Tare and ages ! Irish argument in tlie House of Commons. Another Irish "argument" in Canada O'Brien stoned again.

And rival factions fighting and firing at each other !

The .v.;-;i.!.'..(,; 'n the Temperance Hall last ni -.-ii.i ••.,.'•'■ idedly Hibernian ring. Yes: ~_;_ iu_.;-!.-y John Luhdon hadn't called f.i* the production of guns, so no shooting took place. That Canadian " rumpus " may develop into something serious; all through O'Brien going over the briny ? The Northern Gaels of Scotland and the Western One's of Ireland meet there, and the result is a regular tempest. The question is—How are those stormy gaels to be guarded against ? — Captain Edwin is of no account there.

No; but wait till tlie " Royal Irish Rifles " aro fully organised ! Mail steamer from San Francisco expected here to-morrow.

Benefit Concert to C. Hemus to-night! He mus' C. in this a token of popular favour; a bumper house is expected. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at the Opera House.

No demand for stray dogs ; a big drown ing event is imminent. There was rain at Invercargill on tha Queen's Birthday. English Consols have risen ss, but New Zealand 4 per cents remain at par. Want, of confidence in us, eh ? Yes ; investors are wanting to hear if the Stout-Vogel Government are defeated Right you are. The '' London Standard " in a recent article congratulated New Zea land of the speedy retirement of the Vogel partly from power. Faith in the colonies is not yet dead, however, for the capital of the North Aus tralian Company (Fisher's) has been more than subscribed for.

Dr. Hacon,of Sunnyside Lunatic Asylum, is said to have resigned. More " troubles " afoot, I suppose. It is probable that an inquiry into the loss of the steamer Go-Ahead will be held at) Wellington. The Prince of Wales has inspected the plans of the Imperial Institute Buildings. Wellington Gas Company declare a dividend of 7s per share. Where is the electric light ?

No-confidence debate merrily proceeding in the big wooden building. "Sir Rubbart" compares himself to Solomon and Major Atkinson to Rehoboam. Modest man, Stout!

Before tho Earl of Aberdeen left, Mr Waddel, chairman of the Harbour Board, presented him with a copy of Mr Gudgeon's " Defenders of New Zealand."

Good thing to be an Earl - always getting lots of presents and " taffy" and giving nothing in return.

Don't know; it must have cost Lord Aberdeen a good few thousands to travel around here. There were six adults in the party.

But he had his compensation in laughing at the ludicrous mistakes in etiquette made by colonial dignitaries in receiving him and his lady. Not the least comical mistake was asking Lady Aberdeen to a trip on the harbour when not another lady was-oi;esent. It was very good of Waddel not to resent) the manner in which his claim was " jumped " in the matter of that trip. Pity, all the same, that lie was shoved aside, for he would not have omitted to in vite the originators of the Aberdeen ad dress movement.

Yes ; I see they are to have Jubilee Races at Wellington. Better still from Temuka, a Canterbury township. At a public meeting held there a fow nights ago to consider the matter, a Mr Badman proposed — " That the justices of the peace of this district be requested to meet the citizens in this hall, that they may be escorted by the citizens to the public park, and that they shall there be hanged by the neck till they are dead." More ludicrous still is tho suggestion of the English Anti-Vaccination Society, that) Her Majesty shall celebrate her Jubilee by "putting an end to compulsory vaccina tion."

Mysterious'tragedy at Te Aroha. A tele gram to the "Herald" states that "A fine horse belonging to Mr W. Hetherington died yesterday from eating a quantity of wheat."

I suppose the animal had been accus tomed to feed on, horse - nails, and the change of diet killed it.

About as good as the Auckland coroner's jury's verdict in a poisoning case a few years ago — " Poisoned by beefsteak and onions !

Well, after that Parnell pie business, anything may be trusted to poison man or beast.
