PBIfE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

H.MS. Opal is afc Wellington. The captain visited the Governor yesfcer* day.

Sir Geo. Grey's "stumping tour " has

started. He had a large and enthusiastic meeting at Hastings, Hawke's Bay, on Saturday night. The Waikato "Saurian" is eclipsed by another sensation. A girl with a chain padlocked round her waist has been "captured ;" a good deal of " fiction " in her story. Eden electorate supplies all the sensation just now. Messrs Connell and Mitchelson, two of the candidates, and Mr Tole, the late member, are to address public meetings to night. The consumption of lead-pencils in the United States is placed at 250,000 a day. On dit that the Auckland parsons are hoarding up all the three-penny bits, so that bigger coins may bo put into the plate.

They may be thankful that " Alexander the copper-smith " has not done them injury as in days of old ! Joseph Benfield, who was badly injured by the collapse of a brick kiln near Dunedin, is likely to recover. Good thing he was not " kilned " out and out. He is the father of 16 children. At Cambridge, it is purposed to take a poll of parents on the question of Bible reading in public schools. Professor Black has been lecturing on Agricultural Chemistry at Oamaru. Enormous mushrooms are said to be growing in those districts covered by the volcanic mud from Tarawera eruption. The "Herald" thinks this "rather ex traordinary," but a little agricultural knowledge suffices toexplain that all fungoid growths are greatly stimulated by decaying timber. There are large tracts of bush, covered by the mud. It is stated that the Parliamentary elec tions will take place on 19th September. In the course of a conference with tha Committee of Dunedin Protection League, Sir Julius Vogel left it to be inferred that he is determined that the Customs shall be made the means of a large increase of re venue.

W. D. Birrell, who was arrested ato! Napier on the charge of embezzling £640 from the Commercial Bank at Molong, New South Wales, has been liberated, and has gone back to Sydney. At Wellington, a woman named Eliza beth Parsons is to be proceeded against) under the Cemeteries Act for allowing the body of a child to be buried in her back yard.

A political conundrum and its answer. At Oamaru the other night, Mr Hislop, a candidate,was,asked if he could tell the difference between the Upper House and a Benevolent Society. He replied that one notable difference was that the Upper House received charitable aid, while the Benevolent Society distributed it. The Scotch "duels" closed their season . at Thames on Saturday night. A feature of their entertainment there was the appearance of the " gallant gallant) captain" of the Rotomahana in kilts, joining vigorously in the Highland reel. It is understood that the " chiels " will play at Te Aroha and tteoughthe Waikato townships before returning $0, Auckland. Sad tragedy reported from Christchurch. A girl named Violet Kelso, servant at the Lyttelton Hotel, was found lying in her room on Saturday night in a dying condi tion with a newly-born dead child by her side. She died shortly after. It is said that the application of a bit of ice or even cold water to the lobe of the ear will stop hiccoughing. One of the briefest and most expressive messages ever sent to any government was that one senfc by Sir Charles Napier, " Reccavi." This means in English " I have sinned." The powers at the War Office were greatly puzzled at first, bub soon arrived at the true meaning, "I have Scinde," which province of India he really had captured. At Napier, the printers have passed re solutions against the action of Mr Ivess, a would-be M.H.R., in reducing the rate of wages at Timaru. Australians say that New Zealand re sembles a large"pond filled with "pud docks," as there is nothing but croak, croak, croak, from one end of the colony to the other. Now that the croakers see themselves as others see them, it is hoped they will change their dismal tune. A genius with a taste' for statistics has figured outthattheaverage newspaper writer makes 4,000,000 strokes with his pen each year, or a line 30 miles long. A rapid pen man draws his pen through 16£ feet every minute. In forty minutes'his pen travels a furlong. Among the questions put in joke to a candidate the other evening was this— "Will you remove the Mannkau bar?" An elector answered by advising the ques tioner to apply to Newman and Goldie, who had removed a good many " bars." Mrs Cooper's house in Union-street which was burned down on Saturday last was in sured for L2OO in the Norwich Union office. There is a hint of unspoken pathos, a touch of patient suffering and resignation, in this birth'notice : "In this city, August 9th, the wife of Win. Lea, of.asoji-^nofc tjW^'tMs.tim.e*"-' •' l" ' -■ -■ - ; ""■■
