, TABLE TALK. » ■ Sir Geo. Grey leaves Cliristclmrch to-day. ; He gives a number of addresses iti Otago. Parliament is to meet on Cth October. H.M.S. Opal is open to visitors. In return the officers are cominc ashore to be presented to " Queen Elizabeth." . ' In other words, they give their patronage to the Majeroni Company in the Opera House to-night. They have also accepted invitations to Mr Poolcy's Sunday concert. The jolly tars meanwhile are anxious for an invitation to a rowing match with any local crew. Now, "ole pals," don't be crowed over by the Opals. Frightened Ferdinand ! The new Prince of Bulgaria is showing an " unmilitary bear ing," and does not suein at all inclined to take up arms against his sea; of troubles. LakeTakapunaratepayers are againin the nclgets—a meeting to discuss things in general is called for the 3rd September. Hope they'll discuss the candidature of Jeremiah " for the Waitemata seat. That gentleman's address to the electors is pub lished. The . punster suggests the following grammatical exercise :—" Positive, Monk ; comparative, Monkey ; superlative, Reader Wood." Mr 0. E. Hugo expects to be back in Auckland in time to give his opinions of the political candidates from a phrenological point of view, before the elections. Here's a nice intimation for a moral news paper to make:—" The Pakuranga hounds meet to-day at the Scotch Kirk, Otahubu," That's from this morning's "Herald.' but it's surely not the case that the pack qf hounds are to meet in the " kirk." Don't know; they're queer folks the Scotch. I've read that in the country churches in the Highlands the half of the congregation usually consists of dogs, and very good listeners they make. Fatal fire reported from Blenhiem ; one man burned to death, and another seriously injured. The ratepayers of Lower Albert-street are petitioning the City Council to commence the main sewer for the drainage of that ocality. The majority of theelectorsat Mr George's Newmarket meeting last evening were resi« dents of Parnell Borough. The candidate made a hit when he said that the offering of a high salary to the Go vernor too frequently secured for them a second-rate man—some English politician ot inferior ability, who had a colonial Go vernorship given to him as a recompense for services rendered.

Gentlemen,-I beg to offer myself as a Can didate to represent you in Parliament. If elected, I promiso to do all in my power in the following directions: — Abolish the Upper House, and curtail the Lower one. Remove the duties from Whisky and Tobacco. Being a thorough Protectionist, impose a poll-tax of £50 upon all tradesmen coming into the colony. No wages to be less than 10s per day, and the hours of labour reduced to six, instead of eight as at present. Dancing and the Darwinian Theory to be taught in all Public Sohools. A reward of £10,000 for the discovery of a Diamond Field at Takapuna. In conclusion, I may mention that one of the other candidate! is supposed to be a good judge of timber, butho is not very euro as to tho kind of Wood that the other candidate is made of. Experienced men say that it ia apt to twist and go crooked in aotlvo service ,• but it will bo no credit to a Monk to be beaten by a Monkey, as oa tho day of election I mean to bo first at the top of tho P°le' ' JEREMIAH.
