TABLE TALK.

_4_ , , Epidemic of fires. Rain is threatening. Another dramatic novelty. " Marie Antoinette " to-night. Cable communication is restored. Sir Julius Vogel is still at Chrietchurch. Auckland Burns Club Hall project i 8 fairly started. Two Coromandel miners have " rushed " to Hikutaia. An ounce of Kimberley gold costs on the average £150 in the winning. No fear of the Hikutaia goldfield giving such poor results as that. ° Auckland Art Gallery will be opened in a few weeks. The Greenwood family are performing at) Coromandel. "He cometh not." Hon. John Ballanca was expected in Auckland yesterday, but did not arrive. A " water famine " seems to be impend ing at Tauranga on occount of the fine dry weather experienced of late. ( The foundation stone of a monument to Captain Cook waslaidatCooktown, Queens land, yesterday with great eclat. \ Tare Wi Tekora, a "Maori Chief, died at Kaiapoi, Canterbury, yesterday, of bron chitis and heart disease. Auckland Tramway Company have re solved not to erect a wharf in the meantime at their Northcote land. Another of the old Nova Scotian settlers has passed away, namely, Mr Donald Camp bell. He died at Waipu within a few months of 80 years of age. A miner named Moir has got one of his hands shattered by a dynamite accident at AVcstport. Subscriptions are being collected at Lyfc telton for the widow and children of Cap tain Hoist, who was lost in the wreck of the ketch Kecamia. A good wife is the guide post of life. That's so ; and the guide post she uses on a refractory husband is the rolling pin. "Wallop them well!" No use giving this advice in New Zealand, as the boys will immediately have a nervous attack, and produce a medical certificate to exempt them. At Christchurch yesterday, a boy named Sandford, aged 11 years, was ordered by the Magistrate to receive six strokes with the birch, but the prospect so upset his nerves that it was considered dangerous to inflict the punishment, and he was released with out suffering it. The oil well at Gisborne flows at the rate of half a gallon per hour, and is considered most satisfactory. MrD. R. S. Galbraith, chemist, Auckland, has deposited in the Patent Office specifica tion of an invention to be styled Gal braith's Simoon Iron Oxide Deoxidising Furnace. A servant girl named Catherine Hastie tried to drown herself at Ocean Beach, Dunedin, yesterday, because she was Out of employment and friendless. She committed a "hasty" act, but was rescued aud taken to gaol — the only " home " that there is for able-bodied people in want. It is well to be sanguine and full of an ticipation ; we are better off for our hopes even if they are never realised. That agrees with Tennyson's remark— " 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have 10/ed' at all1;" but when people are disappointed they can't see it in that light. Fresh patents applied for by Aucklanders include the following :—Mr G. T. Stevens, an invention for reefing sails, to be called Sureefer. Charles Heath, a Patent Gas saving Gauge. W. A. Bramley, Whan garoa, an Adjustable Saw-handle. An amusing episode at the Melrose firs yesterday was the vision of a neighbour, clad in a suit of solemn black, issuing well meant orders to suppress the flames. Hard knocks were evidently expected, for he was provided with umbrellas, gloves, and goggles, presumably as safeguards against the heat and smoke. He escaped unhurt. At Melbourne, the other day, a number of gentlemen formed themselves into a committee to collect subscriptions towards the Imperial Institute, and £3,000 were collected in the room. The Caucasion may " pass in his checks." Two Chinamen have just been successful in robbing an Anglo-Saxon of a quantity of lead at Lyttelton, and now the Chinkies are to have a few months' princely feeding in gaol at the public expense. Parochial politics are still fashionable ab Wellington. Yesterday a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held on the subject of getting a town clock at the public expense. The Chamber solemnly resolved to place itself in communication with the City Council, with the view of approaching the Government in the matter. Mick Carey got on a " drunk " at Dun edin yesterday, and as if in revenge for the barm that "a glass too much" had done him, commenced to smash all the glass he could reach. After demolishing about £24 worth he was arrested, and is now in the "howling jimjams." An argument for the electric light. It is asserted that one hour after the gas of London is lighted the air is deoxidised- as much as if 500,000 people had- been added to its population. During the combustion of oil, gas-, etc., water is produced as well as ■•carbonic acid. ' By the burning of'gas twenty-four hours in London, more water, is is estimated, is produced than would supply an emigrant ship on her voyage from England to Australia.
