PEICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

The Premier in the City Hall to-night. " Betsy " at the Opera House again. And "Britannia and her Daughters" at St. James's Hall.

Good choice of entertainments. I vote for " Betsy."

Well, I prefer to hear the Premier. He's quite a hero, having just made the aacent of Mount Tarawera,

Oh, you can hear him to better advan tage to-morrow night in his political address.

Maybe,; bat I prefer hia teetotal-em to his polities. .In the former he is con sistent.

Queer, ien't it, that the Premier should be _o stout, though nn abstainer ? Not ft Ibif ; all teetotallers are not lean and dyspeptic, though a paraon said as much the other day, in alluding to his own spare appearance. Our Premier is no " Robert Sparerib"; I guess he can enjoy a good feed. No one baa any more right to overeat than to drink to.excess—in the one_ case producing dyspepsia in the other delirium tremens. '■•'-' ' ~- J ' "'.' •'-■ Let that pats. I see Baron Hindlip is dead, aged 77 years. . ■ •• Who fa Baron Hindlip? And what a queer name for a Baron, anyway 1 Oh, he's one of those AUsopp or Bass fellows who were ennobled quite recently Jior. their, eminent services'to the country.

Ab ! Oho ot'i the new members of the Beeraee 1 Letbimß.lP.

Russia refuses to send .exhibits to the proposed Paris Exhibition. 'I hat doesn't look particularly friendly. Wonder why Russia hasn't tried to please her new ally. For a very good reason. Russia cannot afford to ep_nd a. farthing on such an object. Why, the deficit- in the- Russian Budget for the current year ia estimated at over eight million pounds sterling ! Phew ! How will they make that up ? Will they levy fresh taxes ? No ; the limit of taxation has been reochod. Probably-they will try to " make arise" by demanding payment of tbe war indemnity from Turkey, and may seize Cone'.-itiuople as security.

_.in while, I see Russian assassins are linril at work in Bulgaria, and tho Czar is avenging himself on his would-be assassins by oidering wholesale executions, Yoa ; tho Autocrat of all the Ruseias is taking a leaf out of the book of the Auto crat of Tongatabu. Efforts are being made to liberate Holt, the bank'manager who was sentenced to five years' imprisonment at Sydney for embezzlement. .""!_ Ha! He is crying "Holt! Enough I" I suppose. But that's no reason for letting the gentlemanly scoundrel off. ' Bless you, they say the man is insane,and needs to be transferred to an asylnm.

r Of course ; a bad case of kleptomania, or else he's shamming Abraham 1

The Sydney " Evening Newß " estimates that New South Wales mußt import three million bushels of wheat this year to keep Ber breidbasket full.

New Zealand should get a good share of that trade.

Mr Fears, tha manufacturer of the famous soap, is about to visit. Australia and New Zealand. ... ,:■■:'.

'Peara so. What is he coming here for— business or pleasure.

Business of course. He means to estab lish agencies over tbe colonies for hia soap- Imagines we are all dusky heatbeDß in need of washing 1 , . - - " _.■'.-,_

The R.M., at Oamaru, has decided that '• euchre "is not a game of chance. ..<•";

Bully for him! He muet be a player in order to take such a sensible view of the matter. .'■"., :>*"_>. .; ... . . .- .;' Thirty five Chinamen arrived by the Waibora ;to-day—a. regular Chinese inva- sien. , '.' ./ .--'." "'"■ _"."

Quite agodsend, I should say.. The poll tax will help tbe revenue !

The Victorian Ministry, -have, invited General Schaw, who is at present Jri New Zealand, to inspect the Victorian defences. As usual, JSew Zealand does--not know how to make use of her visitors. '•

Don't know about that! Auckland at any rate has made the most. of :: t__e French Admiral's visit. -

Yes ; he is highly gratified, and all that, and will; be back very, soon with the 'Duquesne. ■ r - .-..-. .... Better than that. He. means to give in structions that all vessels on the jP-tcifib station should make Auckland, for the' future, their docking station, in preference even to Sydney and Melbourne. ~. .Tbumes people are very indignant at having the insurance rates raised, especially as they don't often indulge in a fire. At a epeoialtneeting of ihe Standard In- - surance Co., at'Dunedin, resolutions limit ing the number of shares to be.held.by ono' person to 8,000. and : providing £150, -for! directors' fees annually, were carried.
