TABLE TALK.

Very successful in "blarneying" thi Home Rulers ; the Home Rule vote m Eden is still considerable. With the help of Sir George Grey, ha means to secure the young colonial support;. Auckland Presbytery has nofc yet got rid of the Avondale Church trouble. Like the Wesleyan difficulty in Ton^a, their "religious" disturbance revolvesrb self into a question of ' '=bawbees." bhockmgly sudden death of Mr W S' fnlford—a gentleman- with a stirring career. & Crowded house to welcome the Buffalo Minstrels last night-augury of a success ful season. Nice legal a man boand to support all his ex-mothers-in-law?" That is what the Charitable Aid Committee mean to wrestle with. An American scientific paper gravely states that «the Bishop of Melbourne has ordered prayers to be offered up that rabbits may not become mothers, all other endeavours to exterminate them having proved fruitless !" r Rotohiki Haupapa, a great Rotorua chief, died yesterday afternoon. He was intelli gent, influential, and afraid of the "pakeha. Bishop Cammidge, the new Bishop of Bathursfc, will be consecrated at West minster Abbey on October 18. Auckland is now to have a fair statement of her import and export trade in the colonial statistics. It will prove that Wel lington has no reason to crow over our diminishing trade. Major Atkinson's engagements will pre vent him visiting Auckland to give a public address, which is a great pity. •SHw 1!? " enSagement" is the'fight with McGmre for Egmont seat. The genial Irishman appears to be gaining in popularity. Rev. F. H. Long, who is troubled with a throat affection, intends to go to the islands for three months, in the hope that the rest and the warm climate may effect a restora tion. Thames High Schoolgovernors are joining in the M roar ' for retrenchment. CaptainTurnbull.theGreymouth Harbour master, is fatally ill. The religious and moral training of the colonial rising generation is one of th« pressing questions of the hour. Little reliance can be placed on kin 4 hearts, quick sensibilities, oreven devotional feelings, if there is no religious principle t# control and direct and strengthen them. A walking match has been arranged aft Dunedin between Joe Scott and Captain Cotton. The latter receives ten miles start in a twenty-four hours' walk. Tho " Kentucky Yeoman" thinks that the use of the big fiddle in the church service is a base viol ation of the sanctuary. Mr James Wallace's general store at Ormond, near Gisborne, has been destroyed by tire. The stock was injured for L 1,250 in the New Zealand oincc.'which had it partly reinsured. Beach, the champion sculler, is married and has seven children. There are times and circumstances in which not to speak out is at least to connive. MrPurves, Q.C., "spoke out "the other day during the Brassey banquet at Mel bourne. He was asked to propose the toast of " the Victorian Parliament," and in doing so remarked that members of the Assembly " had no business to come there to eat and to drink and to advertise themselves to an illustrious visitor. They worked hard for the colony, but he was certain they worked desperately hard for themselves." During the month of June the Customs 4 revenue of the colony reached a total of of L9G,6.")3, as against L 77.182 for June, and LI 14,452 for July last year. The amounts collected at the principal ports were:— Auckland, L' 20,191 ; Wellington, L 16.755; Ghvistchurch and Lyttelton, L 16.806; Dunedin, L 24,509. A shark followed an ocean steamer several days a short time ago, and nothing would induce him to leave until someone happened to conceive the brilliant idea of dropping a note over informing him that there was a lawyer already on the ship.
