PEICE—ONE PENNY:

TABLE TALK.

"Jim, the Penman," to-night. That's the new play to be produced in the Opera House. A right good play, too. You should see

Bismarck says all is peace. 10 f_ em_ so. English Consols steady at

And yet there are signs of war in Bui gana and Afghanistan. Precedence for coercion carried, I Bee. Yes : Irish Crimes Bill to be introduced to-day. Now the struggle will commence in real earnest. " The rain, the welcome rain 1" Suburban tanks and city springe re- Dunedin water supply was also running short because of the drought. Yes ; but tbey had heavy rain there yes terday, so they're all right again. Sir Geo Grey is going to present his por trait in oil to the Free Public Library. Well done I The citizens of Auckland will surely not begrudge v bust of the " old man eloquent.'' Why should they not put up his statue In front of the building. People spend more money "on a bust" than would pro vide it! r People of your mind are invited to com municate with the Mayor, and start collect ing subscriptions. Major Wolfe, senior major of the first Canterbury battalion, has resigned. Ha ! More Volunteer troubles, I suppose, ■those things seem to be contagious. Did you go on board the French man-of war, yesterday? Of course; went with the crowd. Wanted to see what sort of foes we might have to tight soon, f • obL bosh ! Prance and England are most Yes; but if there's a Franco-Ruesian alliance you don't know how soon Mounseer may turn his guns against us. And he's got big guns, too. V a don't cay so ! I'm almoat frightened ..oen I think how suddenly the Duquesna ____£„£ in °,? r b"b°ar- She might have smashed as all op before we knew. That's so ; and our noble defenders were all asleep or something ; couldn't even fira a salute of blank cartridge without 48 hours' notice! Where should we be if we trusted to oar harbour defences to keep out a cruiser in time of war ? _ Is that a conundrum ? Any way, I give I id you hoar that the teetotal folks were meaning to bring up that election petition again ? r. •>-_. ~ Yob ; but they needn't-they haven't a case worth a button ! I see Mr Button has been elected Chair ma. _.f Takapuna Licensing Committee. Avond 1 Brd t0 the Bame Position in t .ll al -_DK of ,the election petition, I see that those political agents who received sudden calls to the country have all coma back to town. Smiling, too! Take my word for it, ycu ye heard the last of the City South personation cases. Caution to projectors of joint-stock companies. J "™_? of t-'?t "'.P^Pfcwho were on the share list of Kaiapo, Glass Company are sucoessfufy resisting payment of calls because they pa _ no money when shares were allotted.

Yes; but our Auckland Exhibition will beat them hollow. I only hope it will be as well advertised as these Australian shown have been. All right; but some folks think a South Pacific Exhibition won't be worth a Two penny taaket. Don't you believe them ! There's money in it. J " Spoedulics " for politicians promised in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly the other day Mr Fletcher gave notice of a motion in favour of the payment of members. The Australian colonies are following New Zealand's bad example in this matter, just at a time when this colony is seriously thinking of reducing or abolishing the de moralising " honorarium." Politics looking lively. Sir Julius Vbgel going to address the Christchurch electors this week. Yes : and Sir R.bert Stout will be her* enlightening Aucklanders next week. Stephen Spaulding has escaped from the Asylum at the Whau. That's the incendiary " crank " who fired the Dairy Company's buildings at Remuera 1 The Bame. If he isn't soon caught we may have a few more firee. By the way, there are rather many escapes from the Asylum of late. You're right, by criminy I Rumours of trouble at the Hospital again, and some doctor means to resign. Oh, yes; and lively times in the Chari table Aid Board, where therereis a division of authority and general condition of muddle. Foundation stone of the Burns Statue J* Dunedin was laid on Saturday by Mr Thought the Governor was to do that little job. Where was he 7 Oh, he was thereabouts right enough; but he hadn't b.en properly invited and couldntgo. Still I suppose the thing was done right enough with him, B Of course it was; and a grand-nephew and two grand-nieces of the poet were among the spectators. Polling for Eden Terrace water supply has been postponed' sine die. - How so ? Are the people " funking " on the proposal again ? Something of that sort; want to join the city, Ibe i v.. But the excuse made is that all the people were at the Free Library on Saturday. ■ The Gorman Emperor is sufferino- from Bore eyes. B Poor old man ! He is " breaking np.' but hie grand constitution and temperate habits mnke the process slow. Pedestrianism at Sydney. Myers and George have run 1,000 yards race, which Myers won easily. T-nbe_._ icket watch at Adelaide, Bhavr- Lillywhite team v. Fifteen of South Australia, ended in a draw. '
