TABLE TALK.

Sir George Grey has gone to Wellington. " Our .only General" is a fellow passenger. Wellington will lave something higher than "parochial politics" during next week.

Addresses by Atkinson, Vogel, and Grey ■ will follow each other in a^ielfsuccession 7' coSS.m^S moi^e°Plethaa 4i^S=!i-^ t S fc successful Ship Rangitikei in from London to-day. ! «.h!n» «" y°U never starve'on board' fay Sy d^'™ "" order the ""P 5! Auckland's dancer made a very creditable performance last night, and came very near wresting the championship from Mi- Munro. j A correspondent asks: "Would you! or any of your many readers inform a ?u fl a? fcJ eader llow t0 learn to play; the flute?" Not if we know It. L • -Spare the rod and spoil the child " is! the secret of the failure of New Zealand' public schools in moral training They thresh wheat to got the good quail-! ties out of it. They thrash a boy to <*et the; good qualities into him. Jo"

The Scotch " cluck" open a three nights' season this evening. A convent school is to be established at' Opotiki.

The hard times do not seem to have af tected the matrimonial market. A country resident advertises in this issue of the Star fora respectable young woman willing to enter the married state. . , Happiness does not so much consist to haying much to enjoy, as in the faculty to enjoy life. He who cannot be haopy with-1 out taking great pains, will always find the pains greater than his happiness. Mr C. Mclndoe has presented "The History of the Highlands " in four volumes to the Free Public Library. Lost to the proposed Caledonian Institute. That project should be pushed on at once, so as to get the benefit of the generosity of donors of books, etc. Mr Shaw has some rare and valuable editions of the Scottish bard which the Burns Club officers should look at.

The receipts from the Wanganui Exhibi tion amount to LB4O, of which L 750 was for tickets of admission. The expenses were LSOO, leaving over L3OO to be handed over to the public library. <

On dit that the demand for Mr ConnelFs election speeches at Dunedin has been so large that as much as ]s a copy has been paid in some instances, and that one of the local booksellers had the Star's report of the Opera House address reprinted. " What are you going to do when you grow up, if you don't know how to cypher ?" asked the school-teacher, angrily. "lam going to be a Colonial Treasurer and float loans," said the slow boy. And the teacher saw that the youth knew more than most) boys at his age. .

The old soldiers of Wellington are moving the Government to appoint a fresh Commis sion to inquire into land cla.ims. The "old soldier " is not easily beaten off.

A good old Quaker lady, after listening to'the extravagant; yarns of a shop keeper as long: as her patience would allow, said to him—" friend, what a pity it is a sin to lie, when ib seems so necessary to thy busi ness.'

A meeting to form a Volunteer corps in; Newmarket district has been adjourned till Monday next, | Encourage local industries. The Minister of Public Works says that the Government have had made in the colony bridge work costing £120,000, 67 railway carriages, 41; brake vans and 1,719 waggons, which, together with other rolling stock built or building, cost £225,000.

At Dunedin the other day the bailiff of the town was charged with being the owner of an unregistered dog. The injured of ficial reproached the dog inspector for his unkindness in treating a civil dignitary in that way. A young man having been requested at a dinner to reply to the time-honoured toast of " Woman," closed his remarks with the familiar quotation from Scott :

Oh, woman, in our houtfs of ease,

Uncertain, coy, and hard to please. Here his memory failed him; but after a little hesitation ho continued in triumph :

But once familiar with her hated face,

We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

At an adjourned meeting of Wellington Woollen Company last nightthe report of the Committee on a series of charges against certain directors of the company of in curring unnecessary and useless expenditure in connection with the erection of works, etc., was read, and exonerated the directors from the charges. The Industrial Exhibition at Christchurch was closed last night by a conversazione.

Bay of Plenty Maoris are now in " Pov erty Bay," as the result of the recent visits of Tawhiao ancl Te Kooti. In addition) to exhausting the food supplies, it is said ; that) ihV latter ~^4to-^ll^tecr^bouti;lo(r!fi cash from his coloured brethrop> .- .
