TABLE TALK.

» Mammoth Minstrels open to-night;. Concert ab the Choral Hall. PaciGc annexation versus warlike aggrea sion. Still no positive news as to the decision of the Samoan Conference. Sir J. B. Thurston has reached London. More expense ! The Government pro* pose to issue a " Police Gazette." That's nothing compared with their further intention to provide constables with a complete handbook of their duties and liabilities. And even that is a flea bite to the con templated assistance of trades unions all over the colony to erect Trades Halls. Where is the zeal for retrenchment now 1 Looks as though the Government had lost their balance, eh ? Will Commodore Hensult's proceedings at Samoa be considered as a Hensult to the British flag ? Don't know; but in all likelihood we'll hear Samoa about it. . A defaulting banker from Australia haa "heen arrested at San Francisco. The Maoris at Paeroa state that'one of tiieir chiefs has the power to kill men by witchcraft. Hope they won't kill him, as he will not be worth the expense of burying. The bookselling firm who have purchased that* indecent Maori book from the Govern ment state in a circular to the trade that a large sale is anticipated. Mr Moss had an enthusiastic reception at Newm*rket last evening. Desptte the wet evening there were fully 150 electors present. There has been a regular north-easterly " buster " at Dunedin. It never5 Kaynes but it pours ! Read that avalanche of literature which a Pamell butcher iss.ies in our advertising columns. Steps are being taken to resuscitate the Carlton Cricket Club. Dr. Bancroft has been appointed House Surgeon at Clmstchurch Hospital. Mr Finlay, foreman of the Karangahape Fire Brigade, io sufterinc from an accident sustained on the' occasion of the late fire in Haekett-street. The Hon. John Ballance is in Wellington; has come up smiling after his illness, and expresses himself confident that the Go vernment will prows victorious in the elec tions. Recent advices from Foochow state that Count Mickiewicz, a Polish gentleman, the representative of an American house, is said to have obtained a large order for telephone lines from China, and to have concluded a gigantic financial arrangement embracing the creation of banks, telegraphs, railways, and other works. This probably refers to the concessions obtained by Mie American capitalist Jay Gould.
