AUCKLAND, N.Z., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

I -— Gold fever abating. "A time to dance." There are two dances to-night. Catholic Institute and Newmarket Hall. Caledonian ball and bal masque on Frida; next. Mr Mcßurney on the Sol" Fa system a the V.M.C.A. to-night. Large deposits of terra cotta clay exis at Birkenhead. Waitoa is dead and buried; the for the field is not to be finished. France scuttles out of the New Hebrides but will soon sneak in again. _ Thames Catholics are petting up a peti tion on the education question. Lord and Lady Carnarvon, who are now in Tasmania, will visit New Zealand, More about that caning incident at New ton East School. Is the " quarter money" a legal impost ? Anti-Chinese agitation. Two Chinese gardeners have been lined at Wellington for working on Sundays. Waimea Plains Railway Company.Otago, is to be Avound up voluntarily,the loss being £118s per share. At Wellington, petitions are being signed in favour of Bible-reading in, the public school.. Frederick Jagerhoucn tried to kill him self by cutting liis throat at Eketahuna on Friday last. An International Cremation Congress, to be held in Berlin in 1889, is proposed. Auckland Rifle Association annual meet ing takes place to-morrow night. H.M.S. Rapid is to be recommissioned for Australia. Professor Chainey is giving recitations from Shakspere and Dickens at Welling ton. Mr J. K. Cameron, manager of the Moa Flat station, Otago, died suddenly yester day. A case for the Humane Society to erect a monument over—Geo. Hogan was drowned near Oamaru on Thursday last while trying to save a doe-. Eviction in Ireland flourishes. The victims for the three months ending June 30th were 9,140. The Maine drug stores are no longer al lowed to sell sodawater on Sunday. At Kaiapoi, a Maori has just died at tho age of 90 years. He took part in the fighb with Rauparahao's warriors in 1827. The Orange Free State refuses to amal gamate with the Transvaal in order to form a new republic. In ten years there were 12,350 illegitimate births in N.S. .V., as -gainst 11,237 in Vic toria during the same decade. This shows the evil effects of a free trade policy. It is understood that the remission of duties by Russia on English and French goods is done as a reprisal against Germany for opposing the Russian loan which was re cently attempted to be floated in Berlin. Hard times. " Shall I vind the clock, fadder?" asked young Jacob Isaacstein, as they were about to close the store. " No," said the old gentleman with a sigh, " pizness vas too pad. Choost let it alone, Sho cob, und vo vill save the year and tear oh the veels." The will of Pen-in, the English sauce manufacturer, has been proved at £700,000. Colman, the mustardnian, alsdleft £700,000, and, like Perrin, made his fortune " not oub of what was consumed, but out of whab they left on the plate." There is in to-day's Star an advertise ment of rather an unusual nature. The advertiser announces that he wants, to sell twenty donkeys. There are many donkeys sold daily in our city, but as a rule the fact is not advertised, but kept as quiet as possible by those concerned. We presume the donkeys now offered are four-legged ones.

'' Old soldiers" are proverbially persis tent. Ancient warriors in Wellington dis trict are taking steps to have a bill passed securing further consideration of their

claims. The Georgia House of Representatives this month passed a bill making co-educa tion of the white and coloured races a penal offence. The bill was passed by 122 votes against two, the dissentients being them selves men of colour. " There's queer folk-in the 'Shaws," ac cording to a Scotch saying". Sheriff Cowan lately refused interim interdict, at the in stance of the minister, elders, and members of thcPollokshawsOriginalSecession Church, against Mi- Donald Munro, Wheatholm. The object of the application was to prevent Mr Munro entering the church or any pre mises connected with it, and the ground set forth for such action was that he molested the minister by making audible remarks during the service, by ostentatiously taking voluminous notes, and by delivering pamph lets at the door of the church.
