TABLE TALK.

—.—,,.»—. — Last night of the Female JMaccabe. Max R inkle's benefit. Concert at the City Hall. " Cant" at St. James's Hall. The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la! Everybody and his wife jubilant at the fine weather. It is still wet, windy, and miserable at Wellington. • . ' " Mrs Greenwood and her Daughters :> to morrow night. Wisdom from the mouths of " babes and sucklings." Dunedin High School pupils regret'the Premier's retirement. They implore him "for the sake of young Jsew Zealand " to relax. Sir Koberb is at Wellington, and happy in the consciousness that he is still Premier. Many men are said to make fools of them selves when Nature is really the responsible party. A destructive vagrant sent five months to gaol. Wonder if incendiary fires will grow less now ? When a man is twenty-five he knows something ; when he is forty-five he wishes he knew something. Greymouth Harbour Board offer £8,500 for the tug Westland. Wellington Education Board have sum marily dismissed John O'Brien, a teacher with whom they had a dispute. Charles Julian, a member of the Perma nent Artillery, died suddenly at Otago Heads yesterday morning. The jS ew Hebrides natives contemptuously speak of the French as Manarveewec— the men who speak with a " Oui, Oui." Lord Lucan, who has just been made a Field Marshal, is 87 years old, and has served in the British Army 71 years. Mr McPherson, storekeeper and Stab agent at Panmure, is not the keeper, of the Tamaki bridge ; it is another " Mac " who is boss obstructionist of those parts.. Organ recital and sacred concert in AH Saints' Church, Ponsonby, to-morrow (Thursday) evening. The presentation of the prize rifles given by Mr J. C. Firth for competition among the Volunteers will take place on Tuesday evening next. The entries for the horse parade at Dunedin number 37, against 59 last year, the decrease being chiefly in Clydesdale mares. " Oh, mirth and innocence ! Oh, milk and water!" was the exclamation of Byron. He should have been afc Christchurch Police Court yesterday. Why bo? Because two milkmen were fined £2 and £4 respectively for watering their milk ; and they were neither niirtbful nor innocent! An editor,. having received many dun ning letters from his tailor, at last wrote upon one, from habit, doubtless, "This correspondence must now cease." A brewer of Brunnerton, Greymouth, named Malachi Taylor, has just been fined "* £10 and costs for a breach of "the sixth sec tion of the Beer Act, 1880. A citizen may be known as a bad egg, but, like a bad egg, society will not regard him as offensive until he is broke. At the Supreme Court, Wellington, to day, Tyler, on two charges of breaking and entering, got three years'penal servitude on each charge, to run concurrently. The Canterbury Rifle Association, formed some six months ago, have adopted their programme for the meeting on Boxing Day and two following days. It shows about £110 divided among six matches, three of them open to all ootaers, besides small bore and team matches.
