AUCKLAND, N.Z., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

"♦- " Roe Roy " to-night. Scots at the Opera House. Kilts and bagpipes. —" Ma conscience!" Jubilee £5 pieces sell at £7 each. Lady Parkes is over 73 years old. Retrenchment on the tapis at Welling ton. Billsfor reduction of salaries read afecond time. A lot of English war-ships will soon be in Auckland harbour. Two Australian Governors are expected to visit New Zealand in January. Spurious sovereigns are in circulation in Sydney. . Old Bibles sold lately in London at pricea from £40 to £2,500. Mohawk Minstrels still drawing large audiences at the Agricultural Hall. Hengler, the well-known English circus proprietor, is dead. Polling for a member of Lake Road Board to-day. Messrs E. Harrow and R. Kelly are the candidates. Mr James Donald, J.P., of Feathorston, was seriously injured by a bull which he was dishorning yesterday. Paramatta fruit-growers want legislation with a view to checking the orchard ;' pests. There was a capital rehearsal of "Rob Roy" last night, and the production to night is expected to be a grand success. It's the same in cricket as in dentistry —when the weather's damp, out comes the stumps. Much ado about nothing—the hubbub over a death at Newton. The Punster says it's a flare up of gash-coal! The Victorian Department has received 3,055 applications for 222 vacancies on the general staff. To-morrow a number of Freemasons go to Wairoa South to take part in inst-ilation ceremonies there. After great opposition, the Naval De fence Forces Bill has passed the New South Wales Assembly by 41 votes to 9. The musical portion of the drama of "Rob Roy" to-night will be most satisfactory. Mr Baxter conducts, and the vocalists are all excellent. A n °ld Maori canoe about twenty fee. long was found embedded in the bottom of the Hamilton Baths, by the men engaged in the extension. Since 1870 the attendance at the elemen tary schools of England has doubled, and the number of teachers more than trebled. An action, claiming £2,000 for maltreat ment, against the management of the Hobart Hospital, has been decided in favour: of the defendants. The castle of Chillon, on Lake Leman, is to be thoroughly restored, and arranged as a national historical museum. The road to Raglan is now in very good order. No one need therefore be deterred from visiting Waikato's watering-placea from fear of difficulties by the way. A New York farmer, recently killed him self because his wife refused to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. Hanlan says that Beach and himself, when alongside each other in boats, are "deadly enemies." Out of boats they are the " best of friends." Our railways cannot be so badly managed after all. The " Waikato Times " says -.— "A lady in Auckland, wishing to send a parcel to some friends in Hamilton, pre- j \ sented it to the Post-office to be forwarded j L by the Parcel Post. After weighing it the ■ j official told her the charge would be 4s 9d.. j She elected to send it by train, and took ih I to the railway station, whence the parcel, was to its destination for one: shilling." ' I They have orchard robbers in Sydney; district. Mr T. J. Willis found a man; : f stealing oranges at Parramatta the other i night, and spoke to him about it. The ;; j robber replied by firing a revolver at him,; and then escaped. They wan. a strict: police magistrate over there — want him; badly, eh ? . ;
