TABLE TALK.

♦ Last two nights of Mammoth Minstrels. Auckland is promised an electioneering libel case. Sufficiently revenged is he who can pardon an enemy. Sir Julius Vogel is expected at Napier to-morrow. Big sale of Waterbury watches to-morrow at Isaacs s mart. New powder works are to be built at Shanghai by the Chinese Government. Pastor Chiniquy is not dead, as reported. A resident of Palmerston North has just received a letter contradicting the report Ihe half-yearly dividend of the Bank of Australasia will be payable On and after 7th October. There are 230 religious sects in England and Wales, with an aggregate of 3,000,000 members—about one-eighth of the entire population. rw? m, eeti"?fof Auckland Hospital and week " d ai' e Callecl for nexb The African Methodist Episcopal Church proposes to celebrate the centenary of its organisation in November. At New Plymouth yesterday the E.M. Xf«i k? P hll/PP ic aSainsfc People who run into debt for luxuries. Of two million acres of land in New Zea land rented from Maoris in Hawke's Bay thew are 910,000 acres so occupied by -Europeans. L J Serioußriots recently occurredon the fron tier ol Anam, requiring the presence of a body of French troops to quell the dis turbances, Mr Teasdale, one of the candidates for vvaipa, says he is not in favour of Female buflrage, as the ladies do not want it, and have enough to do to look after their hus bands in electioneering times. m Boys' Brigades will probably be formed in connection with Auckland Tabernacle and Newton Congregational Church. Mrs Campbell-Praed, in a new novel re presents Australian society as "brutal coarse, and drunken." Her old-time ac quaintances in Brisbane will doubtless feel nattered. A decree has been published announcing the postponement of the Chinese Emperor's marriage until 1889, owing to lacii of funds in the Imperial treasury. The census returns published in 1881 showed that m England and Wales there were 229,818 grocers and tea-dealers, 13,000 of whom were to be found in London alone. A woman brought before the Melbourne City Police Court lately had actually got drunk on her own hair. She had cut off her flowing tresses, and sold them to a barber for five shillings. The desecration of graves has been the great obstacle hitherto to railway construc tion in- China, but this is overcome by the power of the almighty dollar. The Chinese Government has compen sated the owners of graves on the line of railroad between Taku and Tientsin. Edinburgh is probably the most Presby terian city in the world. Out of its 181 churches not fewer than 124 are Presby terian. Mr Gladstone says that Wales is "the most Protestant country in the whole world," and the "Methodist Times" of London says : " We believe there is not a, Welsh-speaking Roman Catholic congrega tion in existence." Snails, it appears, are the latest delicacy in New York. The fashion was set by Jay- Gould, who has a quantity sent over by each French mail steamer from Havre. The snails are first boiled, then slightly roasted, and then eaten after the fashion of periwinkles. All the gondoliers in Venice lately went out on strike because a night service had been started on the Grand Canal. All the bakers in the city also went on strike, and the waiters in the hotels and cafes threat ened to go out. The other day a man who was '' run in " for drunkenness in Auckland was found to have seventy sovereigns sewed in a belt which was around his waist. " The Anti-Chinaman" is the name of a weekly paper that is being started in Wellington by an enterprising printer. The whole of its reading matter is to be devoted to showing up poor "John" in an unfavourable light. A decree has been issued by the Emperor of China sanctioning the construction of a railway between Peking and Canton. It is to be built with Chinese capital, and. the provincial authorities concerned are to set about finding the necessary funds and pre paring for the work. Quite lately two ladies from Timaru who were casually acquainted with the poisoner T. Hall endeavoured to obtain an interview with him within the precincts of Mount Eden Gaol. Hall, however, who was en titled to a visit, refused to see them, pre ferring instead the privilege of writing to a friend in the South.
