TABLE TALK.

—4, _ Criminal Sessions opened. Still more fires taking place. An incendiary "crank " is at work. " Marie Antoinette " at the Opera House. Mr J. M. Dargaville is in town. Musical piracy.—Stealing a march. A stirring adventure.—Making porridge. Railway employees meet to-morrow riighb at Robson's Rooms. They intend to nominate a member of the Railway Board of Appeal. Dunedinites pay 7s 6d for lighting gas, and 6s 3d for cooking. There are 32 cases on the criminal calen dar of the sessions opened to-day. Gold-mining' operations at Terawhiti. Wellington, will be resumed when summer sets in. Inspector Goldie is in arms against Dr. Girdler,. and will show that Auckland's sanitary affairs are properly attended to. Devonport people have'been alarmed by the late fire, and meet on Wednesday night to consider the question of a water supply. No more pumping experiments will he tolerated, but Lake Takapuna must be tapped at once, even though "Jeremiah" should object. Neither fish, flesh nor fowl.—Vegetables, of course. The Cambridge Cheese Factory intends paying 2?d per gallon for milk this'season. Mr Gabolinsky has refused a license for the hotel at YVaitoa, -which was recently rebuilt at a cost of £600. No room for a lengthy and learned certiorari argument there. The powers of Licensing Committees are absolute; Effects of the gold fever. —Mr Alley has sold some of his land at Hikntaia to Mr Corbett at; £64 an acre. Mr Corbett intends cutting it up in town lots. An expenditure of £600 will be required to make Government House, Auckland, suitable for being1 used by the Governor or Admiral. Constables in plain clothes have lately been attending the Napier churches and taking down the names of persons found misconducting themselves, with a view to prosecuting them. A boy of 13 years of age, who has been an inmate of Thames Orphanage, has Keen adjudged a lunatic, committed to Whau Asylum. Ploughing operations are being actively pursued in the agricultural district, of To Awamutu, where there is a promise of a considerable quantity of laud being under cultivation this year. Another Caucasian played out. i The Maoris Live taken possession of a ffflim leased by a settler named Corbett atiffau ranga, and have seized the stock and im plements. The ground of their action is that Corbett's title-is incomplete. No need for Chinamen to leave their own country. The coal lands of< China are five times as extensive as those of all Europe, while her gold, silver, lead, copper, tin, iron, and marble deposits equal those of any other country. The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce has passed a resolution in favour of the decimal system, both in coinage and weights and measures, and the Government will be re quested to establish a decimal coinage. A meeting is called at Tauranga.to con sider the formation of a Farmers' Club. In a Native land dispute at Gisborne liti gation has been going on for twelve years, and many thousands of pounds have been swallowed up by the lawyers. i A Judea native sustained sunstroke hi Tauranga one day last week. The foro noon was terribly hot. A heavy thunderstorm passed over Ingle ■ wood, Taranaki, on Saturday, when a child six years old was struck by lightning. It was rendered insensible, and it is feared it will not recover. In the Te Awamutu district lambs appear numerous and strong. The lamb ing seems to have been very good thia season, the late dry weather being much in favour of a good percentage. Gisborne Harbour Board has determined to apply to Parliament for enlarged powers dealing with its endowments, as it has been found impossible to get anyone to touch them on the conditions the Board can now give. The Board wanb to raise the wind so as to relieve the rates. The Government are considering the ad visability of running special trains on the general election day. They should make it a public holiday.
