TABLE TALK.

Election rumours rife. Wanted, a seat for Mr Dargavillo. Last'three nights of " The Mikado." "lolahthe" will be staged on Thursday night. Criminal sessions open on Monday next. There are to be Jubilee Races at One- > hunga. Monsignor Fynes is dangerously ill. Lynch Bellringers at Otahuhu to-night. There is to be a Jubilee Home for the poor erected at Christchureh. t Mr J. Dingan has written a Jubilee Ode . for the opening of Wanganui Exhibition on 17th inst. Mr K. Manning has composed. the music. - " ■ . Talking of Jubilee Qdes, the most ex- • ecrable is one by the Earl of Roslyn,.* authenticated as the Jubilee poem by the ' Queen herself. This is one verse of it: 'There is a Word, A linnet lilting in the grove. Keen as a sword, And pure as Angels are above; ' This tittle Word good men call love!" New Zealand poets can beat Lord Ros- ' lyn and Lord Tennyson easily. There are -' 1U competitors for the Wellington' .' Post's " prizes for Jubilee poems. The poets send from all parts of the colony. The Rev. Dr. Grimes is to be the 'New Roman Catholic Bishop of Christchureh. . Mr Robert Puddoy has been appointed Principal to the School of Agriculture,-' Melbourne. ■< " Civis." in the " Otago Witness " makes a lot of candid remarks in connection with : the Burns statue ceremony at Dunedin. ' Well, what says the good-natured friend? ; Oh, that the arrangements were "exe- crable," the procession was " shabby,". enthusiasm was nowhere, and when Sir George Grey began his "florid oration," the crowd rapidly melted away ! He adds:—"The Burns banquet "pro vided a fitting finish to a memorable day.; It terminated in a saturnalia that would ' havo gladdened the heart of Rabbie him-' self in his grosser moments." An Industrial Protection Association ia being formed in Wellington. Judge Wilson, of Tauranga, lately re- I ceived an order for a hundred tons of • sulphur from .White Island. 1 Councillor T. Woods caused some amuse- i ment at Thames Borough Council meeting the other night by stating that he was not' i as big a fool as he looked _ there were big- ■ • ger fools present. j An attempt is being made to resuscitate ] the Tauranga Parliamentary Union. '. It is supposed that the Auckland mimic i Parliament is too dead to be revived by any.. moans. > Mrs Gubbins says sho never allows her boy .Jim to eat any jam, for her husband , died of the jimjams, and she don't purpose" j to run any chances with the boy. ->: Constable Clapporton, of Melbourne, has ' been dismissed for falsely stating that he had rescued a man from a wate*y grave. If every "bobby" were dismissed when ho told a "crammer," where would the force be, I'd like to know ? A largo quantity of mangaio timber has been shipped at Tauranga by the s.s. Clans man for Auckland.' ■ King Tawhiao and his suite, who are now at the Thames, are travelling on the Blue Ribbon ticket. A good deal of trouble has been experi--, enced at the Taupiri coal mine for some weeks, owing to a portion of the mine being on fire, but Mr Collins, the manager, has got over the difficulty.—■ ' At the Napier Supreme Court the other, day a former Mayor of Mas.er.on, R. G.; Williams, was sentenced to three years' for forgery. What a falling off was there. ': Mr Arthur Falloon, landlord of the Awahuri hotel, Feilding, died suddenly yesterday through bursting a blood vessel. _ The Scotch Universities are considering the propriety of granting a new degree, to be called the " Schoolmaster's Diploma." A puzzling document. The "Waika'to'; Times" of Saturday last says .—" Were coived last night what'purported to be a a summary of the Public Works Statement, . delivered in the House of Representatives yesterday. We are, however, unable to", makeliead or tail of it." •, ■' The graveyard excursion train yesterday afternoon v> ras well patronised. Crave causo of complaint! - -.' ■: "Six-feet Six," writing to a country paper in Hawke's Bay district, complains that tho sexton stints the size of the graves, so that they frequently have to be length ened in order to admit the coffin. It is a legal axiom that "dead people have no right," so they are not likely to gain anything by that protest! Queen Victoria paid £500 the i other day for a special circus performance. She drove to the show in a close carriage, and notices were posted cautioning the per formers and attendants not to stare too curiously at Royalty! . ;......<, Mr Croker, rabbit inspector at Ivanhoe, Now South Wales, recently attempted his life while in a lit of depression. Camo ..near being a "croaker," eh? Suppose he was depressed because of the persistent increase of the rabbits I A Wellington poetaster thus warbles on • the political .situation : — So Parliamout's to be dissolved soon I see, It will oh! it will oh! it will oh! It will then be all up with the S and tho V, ■'■ - It will oh lit will oh1! it will oh! And tTiey who have got the land into this plight May say to the Government benches good night And the general verdict will be servo theo. right. It will oh 1 it wi 1 oh ! it will oh ! Miss Edith O'Gorman has been lecturing' to crowded houses in Adelaide lately/- According to the "Advertiser," the odorous lectures of the Escaped, Nun are " delivered with an easy and .spontaneous fluency, if not even with a grim satisfaction; Speak of the unhallowed demotions of ;.th© infatuated gambler ! We take leave to doubt whether they are more .destructive to the moral fibre of a man than the fevers of excitement through which they pass who sit listening with bated breath to dis closures like those of the ' Escaped Nun.' " Mr W. S. Gilbert, the celebrated' comic opera writer, is a Scotchman. A hangman's son has just been sentenced to death in Queensland. - Shows that all the scapegraces are not parsons' sons', as some people would have us believe. • , _ A new attraction is now added to the Salvation Army at Wallsend, New South Wales. Three converted Indian:?,' dressed in native fashion, parade the streets with the band, and relate their sinful experiences. A Chinaman named Mong'Kee had a narrow, escape from drowning in Wellington harbour last week. Poor chap ! Monkees are not usually ready to take to the water ! . A very, old woman in New Plymouth, who states she is 100 years old, went the other day to a dentist to have her teeth drawn out. She submitted to the operation most courageously. ~-.•■ , Must have been a terrible wrench i! You know— ; ..,...,. " The tree of deepest root is found Least willing still to quit tho ground." It is said that a. Queen-street dontist ex tracted eighteen teeth the other day in the short space of thirteen ' seconds. Can New Plymouth or even Wellington beat) that?
