PRICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Another crisis in Bulgaria, eh ? Bless you, no; the same old crisis, only broken out in a fresh place. The Crimes Bill is a " sneezer." You've said id! If that bill becomes law, Irishmen will stand anything. It gives power to try Irish crimes in Eng land—a very different thing from Homo Rule. All the Home Rule the Tories will ever give. They're rank Centralists to a man. John Dillon declares the Irieh will not submit to the measure, and he will lead them in their opposition. These be brave words. Let us hope Irish men will respond to their heroic ring ! The Premier is coming to Auckland via Taupo and Waikato. Yes ; and the Cambridge folks are trying to get him to give an address there. Cheeky, beggars, those Cambridge people; but they have the proper sort of "go about them, and they deserve to succeed. Major Atkinson is going to stay at Nel son.

Ah; that's for the domestic reason I mentioned yesterday. Fires are still of very frequent occurrence in the Colony, Too frequenli by far. Do you notice one result of recent heavy losses by fire ? Yes ; the Equitable Insurance Company have resolved to increase their capital by £15,000, by calling up 2s per share in forced calls.

Volunteer troubles in Auckland are to re ceive " stern " treatment. We were told that long ago. What is the matter now ? Oh, there's a private Court of Inquiry sitting to-day, to deal with those Fonsonby officers. A private inquiry is all bunkum ; that will never remove a grievance ! Of course not \ but trust the Stab to get all the particulars of the meeting, in epite of stern military rules. So the Triumph has not reached London aftrr r'] i

fj., ji3 not. The Underwriters' Associa tion Bay she has not arrived and they ought to know.

The thing begins to look "dickey," don't yon think ? Humph 1 Anything may 'happ_en to that vessel after her exploit in running on to Tiritiri lighthouse. Chamber of Commerce meeting this after noon to consider the Exhibition question.

Hope they won't split into Vogel and Twopenny factions, for that would be the death of the project. M. H. Daviea, M.L.A., a Victorian, has established a solid right to the title of "Hon." ,■ . .

i He's given £100 towards the foundation of a hospital in Melbourne for the cure of consumptive patients. Tha " Sydney Morning Herald "of 24th met. says:—"The Japanese Village Com pany, in conjunction with Fryer's Circus, still continue popular at the Exhibition Building, Prince Alfred Park." Apparently the holy friar knows how to work the show business with success.

Of course he does ! Not likely that he would send the best of his show to a place that haa used him so badly as New Zealand. The Queen's Jubilee keeps moving. Yes; everywhere except in Auckland. What's the matter, I wonder ?. »" '

The Mayor is waiting for some influential citizens to prod him on to do something. At least bo 'tis said, > ...

What nouaenee 1 Why, he's the most in fluential citizen himself, and ought to take the lead in such matters.

, Right you aig. I see they had meetings on the subject yesterday at Christoburch and Timaru.

Yes : Canterbury is leading the colony in this affair. ■ - ! '""," _, F

The proposals in Chrißtohurch are either to erect a statue or poorhouse,—rather an incongruous mixture, don't you think ? Yes. Timaru folks bad fifteen different proposals, but have reduced them to two. — a water fountain or a museum. ' -

There will be " hiph jinks " in London in June next. People are gathering, there already for the Jubilee.'. "V

Sol ccc. The Duke and Duchess of Con naught are leaving India for London soon. A shopkeeper in Karangahape Road is getting his premises plastered with Blaikie'a patent tire proof article. That'B-right \ Encourage local industry, and get* protection from fire at the same time. ' ' : .

Superintendent Hughes is not yet crashed outof shape by the insolent remarks of one of our City Fathers, when the Council was assembled in solemn conclave.:. ■

He was quite right in protesting against the tomfoolery qf ringing the fire bells on tbe morning of Good Friday. .1 guess so.-;r 'Church, school, and auc tioneers' bolls migbt as. Welt join in the chorus; might belp to cure eoino of our numerous Bick people. v Sir Wm.rJervqls; has given £100 to the Imperial Institute.; .;. ' . He can well afford it out of bia £7,500 a ,year. : : . ,

I Jon't know ; it's four days' wages out of his pocket, poor'man. Are you prepared to give as much to the Imperial Institute? Hum I that's another matter; .However as the 'Coming;K.' requests it,l'll be bound to give something. . . V Mr Phil Robinson, the well: known littera teur and war correspondent, is to begin Ms colonial" lecturing tour in Melbourne in June, i. "'. ''.'. . ;:. ;

Who is the well-known Phil ?

Hanged if I know; Some newspaper scribe,! who has a London reputation, I sup pose, and with the usual Cockney conceit, fancies that London is the world.

Oh, well, the colonials will open hie eyes for him ?

Plane for the old people's refuge are still hanging fire. It is about time that: suoh childish or petty conduct should be sum marily ended. • i.. '.; • ' No need for growling; the plans are being well ond carefully weighed; That's all. :

In every department of •human effort we always find that real merifidakes iteeU felt sooner or lately 'and -ensures ultimate success. Colonists engaged in country pureuitß bad been for many yours labouring under the disadvantage .of having no periodical published •in ■ New Zealand ex clusively devoted, to, sbeir interoate, and specially dealing 1 with the theory, and practice of agriculture and horticulture in all its branches. In the " New Zealand Farmer.
