TABLE TALK.

" Harbour Lights " at the Opera House! Geo. Leitch and Company open to-night. Wisdom speaks little — bub the little, well. H.M.S. Diamond has left Sydney for Auckland, Govornment House is being got ready for the Admiral. It is sadly in want of a coat of paint, however. The Admiral is bringing his horses, coachman and groom. Among names suggested for New South Wales is "South Zealand.," How the colonies are depressed. —The mail steamer is taking away £103,345 in gold! Christchurch people have still faith in the bona fides of the Waitoa gold-finders. Sir James Hector and Professor Hutton also adhere to their favourable opinion of the field. Lord Carnarvon will not; amve here till February next, as he wishes to see the centennial celebrations on " the other side." Mr J. D. Foley, the colonial Maccabe, is back in Auckland from a successful season . at Mercury Bay. It has been calculated that a man musb make 7,367,730 journeys by rail before his turn comes to be killed by'accident. A man named Rouse, who left civilisation and starvation at Rangiora, Canterbury, to live in a state of nature on wood hens, has been taken in charge as a lnnatic. The cricket match at Sydney between' Vernon's English Eleven and Eighteen of Parramatta ended on Saturday in a draw. Recipients of charitable aid and those who have children in the Industrial School should note that Mr Smith, the Inspector, is now on his way to Auckland. Mr Brandt, a sugar-cane grower in the northern territory of South Australia, has 500 acres under crop this season. He is also growing tobacco and cotton. On' Saturday night a young lad narrowly, escaped being killed in Queen-street. He; fell under a tram-car, but beyond getting a ! good fright and having his clothes torn he, suffered no injury. The splendid new offices in Queen-streeb erected by the Mutual Life Association of Australasia are to be opened by a banqueb on Friday evening next. The Hon. W. J. Trickett, one of the directors, and Mr J. C. Remington, general manager of the Com pany, nave arrived from Sydney to be pre sent on the occasion. While New Zealand is stopping some educational expenditure, look at the follow ing fresh outlays in Europe : The cost of the Technical High School of Berlin has exceeded £400,000 ; new chemical labora tories have been added to the Polytechnic, of Zurich at a cosb of £70,000; a new electrical laboratory has been erected at Paris at a cosb of £14,000.
