TABLE TALK

+_— N£w mining " boon " cominsr. Newton wants a water supply. Devonport can lend them a pump. Hon. John Ballance is suffering from influenza. Last two nights of the Majeronis. ■•'Corsican Brothers" to-night, and double benefit bill to-morrow evening. A prisoner has {job two years in gaol under the Extortion Act. Money-lenders please note. The " Queen's Fund" of Auckland is to go to the Benevolent Society. My ! Won't Victoria be' mad because it hasn't been voted to the Imperial Institute '! Paeroa people are divided on the question of Thames Harbour Board's jurisdiction on the upper reaches of the river. "I will Ilea the place," remarked the strange dog, as he prepared to make his home with a farmer. Another Auckland candidate for Parlia ment denies that he is an Atheist (with a big, big "A"). Jt is quite a revelation to find that re ligion is being recognised in politics : Mr Aitken Connell must be happy to find it so. Well, if there is religion in politics, it's evident that politics themselves are becom ing emasculated. Reason why—the Radical Reform League did its. level best to frame questi ns which would have the effect of separating the sheep from the goats ; but to its consternation every candidate has subscribed to it? creed. And so the poor League has received the order " As you were !" Vote for nobody at all, for their politics are all the same. A local crw.se edebrt —Hodge versus Dargaville—is im pending; '' secret service " revelations promised. \'. ellington folks are beginning to fear that ill-health, owing to the cold (if the South, will prevent him giving an address anywhere in Cook's Strait. A dividend of 4d per share in the Saxon Gold-jihining Company is payable on Satur day next. . Three arson cases at the Supreme Court, and yet the Parnell " turncock " is allowed to be on tho jury. What's the objection—that he will have a " professional bias " against the accused ? No; but while he is helping to punish arson his absence from his post invites fresh crimes of that nature, A sacred concert is to take: place in St. Paul's Church on Friday evening next. William Wctherall has been drowned in the Wairati River, near Blenheim. The deceased was a gold digger, and was sup posed to be insane. The Melbourne agents of Dunedin Dock Trust have written stating that they do not think it wise to offer the loan there, as whatever chance it had was spoiled by an extract from a Dunedin paper, published in the '■ Argus." Dunedin folks will blame the hostility of the Australian press; but they should re member not to foul their own nest. Those enterprising burglars at Kihikihi made quite a " haul" out of one night's operations. In addition to the article men tioned yesterday they stole two horses. Do they mean to turn bush-rangers ? About 200 signatures of people interested in the cutting down of Lower Hobson-street have been secured, and it is hoped that the work will proceed without delay. Our noble legislators! The Licensing Act provides for witnesses being heard at the Licensing Courts, but does not show whence the money is to come to pay their expenses. In consequence there is a dead lock at Christchurcb. That's nothing compared with the nice mess at Panmure, where there arc two public houses not in any licensing district, and a Licensing Committee elected for a district that has no existence. In spite of the depressed condition of affairs at the Thame?, the Hauraki Ladies' Benevolent Society have collected no less a sum than £49 2s 6d for the purpose of tho Society. As to this will be added the Government subsidy of 24s in the £, it will make the total about £108, which will enable them to materially assist many of the distressing cases of actual poverty which exist there.

Some weeks ago, when our Company was per forming 1 in Wel'ingtou, Mr Charles Hugo, of the UutTu o Minstrels (who were then appearing in your city), m the most unprofessional, ungallant, and unman yspir 1., forwarded some advertise ments to the A ellingtrin papers stating tliat his Company would shortly appear, etc. Now, wo say that, these advertisements were intended simply to injure bur business. Not content with mil eading lie Auckland public in stating that he had '_■ Genuine Unrivalled Artists" and that ho had the " Greatest and Best Company in Ihe Southern Hein_pncr»V," he needs must endeavour to in.iur.s o'h>-i'9 who dared set their feet on the fib'ores of New Zealand.
