PRICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Politics take a rest for a day. New Minstrel programme to-night. Mrs Dudley Ward is seriously ill. Mr Goldie expounds municipal politics tu»' night. A harder thing to keep than a secret.— Money. V The present difficulty with most people is to get money ; they don't want, to keep it either. •, Money is becoming more plentiful, how- ' ever ; the Australian banks have reduced the rate of interest on fixed deposits to i per cent. Livingstone Railway line, North Otago, was opened for traffic yesterday. Rev. A. M. McCallum gives his lecture on "Prunes"afc the Industrial Exhibition rooms to-night. Query—Do prune trees require much pruning? And is prunella a secondary product ? : Murphy beat Burgess in a glove-fight an l Dunedin last night, winning ±*50 and gate money. Dunedinites hoped to have a fensfc of "mashed Murphy," but the Auckland featherweight tickled the Southern " bur gess " under the chin in the fourth round, and all was over. The Thames " Advertiser " is afraid Sir George Grey will never survive to become elected Governor of the Colony. Nob — " Though his length of years should come, As the many, wintered crow that leads Ihe clanging rockery home." Farewell presentation to Supt. Thomson this afternoon; Inspector Shearman suc ceeds him. New political definition: "Not an atheist, but a Greyite." English harvest operations are progress ing rapidly. Fiji folks now want to be annexed to' Victoria. Fidgety folks, you should say ! They are disgusted because New Zealand has nob, jumped at them long ago. Thames Newspaper Company pays a1 dividend of 2s 6d per share. | Messrs Mahonoy and Sons have nearly completed the reduced plans for the new Auckland Custom-house. Shakspere was not a broker; but does' anyone know of another man who has fur-' nished so many stock quotations ? ' The " Wren's Nest" at Para wax was nob too well feathered. i According: to the Thames "Star," Mrs Harris has been left in very destitute cir cumstances, with six little children to pro vide for. Some of her friends have kindly taken the matter in hand, and are about to endeavour to raise a subscription on her: behalf, which we have no doubt will be generously responded to notwithstanding the hardness of the times.

The "Herald "this morning announces' that Maxwell, the Sfc. Louis murderer, " ia' now pretty sure to be hanged." ' Hanged if he will! It was just ten days ago that a cable message stated that a writ o ror was granted which would delay the execution indefinitely. Granny has been asleep.

The New South Wales Parliament will' meet on the 20th prox. for the despatch of business.

Dr. Laishley by no means follows the great Talleyrand's advice—" Pas de zele!"

At the Supreme Court yesterday. Mr Button made a remark upon the zeal shown by Dr. Laishley in the Jubilee Hotel case,

whereupon Mr Justice Ward took the opportunity of eulogistically commenting' on the valuable results which had accrued from Dr. Laishley's zeal in the cause of education.

Afc Dunedin it is reported that the Crown Solicitor has advised the Government fchafc they cannot interfere with the Porb Chalmers Dock Trust Loan.

Sir Julius Vogel has wisely declined to take any side in the dispute, and the con testants now talk of " burying the hatchet."

A new idea in colonial loans ! Dunedin ; Dock Trust have resolved to cable to Mel-! bourne to ascertain on what terms a five per cent, loan could be floated there. Ah ! It would be a splendid thing for the colonies if we could gefc our loans floated here instead of going to England. A French fisherman at Pahi, Kaipara, was found dead in the bush on Monday morn ing last, Peculiar accident at Mauku.—A four- ' year-old boy fell down the well, kicked the bucket, and is still alive and kicking !

" Kicked the bucket," and yet didn't kick it, as he is still alive. That must bo rather funny. Explain the mystery. Why, the little fellow dropped into 14ffc of water in the well, but luckily striking the old oaken bucket held on by it till his mother drew him out wetter and wiser, bub as lively as ever. Jubilee afc Devonport to-night. Free con versazione at the opening of the Jubilee Institute, Free Public Library and Reading- Room.

New Plymouth Harbour Board are in a fix over the raising of the interest for their little loan. That breakwater promises to

break " them financially,

In the case of the girl Larsen, recently drowned in Canterbury, a verdict of suicide whil6 temperoraly insane h,;,s been returned. The fact that a man has not cut his hair for ten or twelve years need not imply that lie is eccentric.,, He, may .be. baM,

'G'hristchurch Charitable Aid Board have accepted the sum of LGOO raised by the public for a Jubilee Poorhouse, and will ask for a Government subsidy to help in the erection of the building.

N. G. Tchernychewskyliasjustpublisheda novel entitled " What's to be Done ?" We should say the first thing is to alter the author's name.

•The result of the Wangamii election has been settled already—by the Boys' School. The lads took a poll between Messrs Balbnce and Cai-son, when it was found that Mr Ballance was elected by a large majority. The next " fad " will probably be to give boys the franchise.
