TABLE TALK.

Rain' coming. Let it come. Mystery and magic to-night. Dr. Lynn at the Opera House. Two doctors denounce Dowie. Faith versus Physic—which is (W)righfc? Hall, the poisoner, arrived in Auckland to-day. A hundred years hence we shall all be bald. Lively "scene" at the Faith Healer's meet ing last night. Mv Graham, Relieving Officer, has re signed his post. Special settlement meeting in the Tem peiance Hall to-morrow night. Mr John Lundon challenges Richard and all-comers to open combat. How many peas are there in a pint T— One p. Very good suggestions of Auckland Jubilee Committee. Not so ludicrous as those at Wellington —tor a cemetery or poorhouse ! The Mayor of Dunedin is calling a meet ing of citizens to consider what steps should be taken to celebrate the Jubilee. The Wellington "Post" advocates the remission of sentences as a Jubilee celebra tion. Is that a hint for the benefit of Hall ? _ Gossip about the convict Hall still finds its way into the newspapers. The latost is that he eats little or nothing, and never utters a word, even when spoken to. Ho, ho ! Wait a bit, and you'll see that he will be reported " oft' his chump," and there will be a move made to get him taken to the asylum. That's how they're trying to work the ornele for Holt in Sydney, but I question if it will succeed. Probably they think by bringing Hall to Auckland they can carry out the little plan more securely. The unveilinj? of the Burns statue at Dunedin ha? been fixed for the 24th May, the Queen's birthday. Very good ; the proceeds of the Auck land concert on behalf of the Statue Fund can be acknowledged on the occasion. The bones of Thomas Paine are still unburied. They are said to be in the pos session of an English preachei-. Political activity continues. Mr J. Gore addressed his constituents at Dunedin South last night, and received a vote of thanks and confidence. A man named his goat " Oleomargarine," because it's a kind of butter strong enough to knock a man over. His Worship the Mayor has convened a public meeting for Wednesday, 4th May, to consider the Maritime Exhibition pro posed to be held in Auckland in 1890. Grobe, a "blind organist, is creating a sensation in Germany. His playing is "aid to be wonderful. After hearing legal argument in the totalizator case at Dunedin yesterday, the R.M. reserved his decision. As many as 250,000 rabbits were killed on one station in New South Wales during the last quarter of 1886. The mayor of Hamilton shortly visits Eu rope, and will there float a company for carrying on the beet sugar industry in the Waikato. rr*w™«~- Mv S. E. Hughes, senior^ hag been seized with another attack of apoplexy at Cam bridge, and his friends now have serious apprehensions that in his exhausted condi tion he may not survive the attack. Captain 'Kitchens presided last night at a meeting of the Waitemata Coastguards, held for the purpose of electing finance and clothing committees. In England, 200 years ago, one-fourth of the whole population, depended upon parochial relief, having no other means of living. Mr John Stuart Burns, teacher of Tao baoroa school, Waikato, has died from the effects of a cold contracted about Christmas last. The annual balance-sheet of the Welling ton Slip Company shows £1/200 written off for depreciation, leaving a credit balance of £2,305, from which a dividend of 5 per cent, is recommended. Mr Wm. Howden, chief accountant in New Zealand for the Singer Sewing Machine Co., died at Wellington this morning from typhoid fever. It is popularly supposed that there is ho typhoid fever in the southern cities, but the fact is that the news is studiously sup pressed as a rule. This afternoon the first lecture of I he course on "Chemistry " in connection with the University College, was given at tho buildings in Eden-street. A betting man sat and watched with interest and excitement the perpetration of a violin and piano duet. " Bless me, a dead heat!" he exclaimed, as both instruments wound up at the name time. " In Armenia the bride is not allowed to speak in the presence of the husband's mother." A legend exists that in New Zealand there are times when the husband is not allowed to speak in the presence of his wife's mother. The article for which J. J. Haslam, of Avondale, seeks letters patent is a " horse power ealth elevatovand self racting tipper." The,,name was mispriuted-in a recent issue. . .There is no fear that Lisilridn'wilr'become " disgustingly moral," or tJiat the reign of the Puritans is returning, or that cakes and ale shall be no more, so long as shares in breweries command ">0 to 100 per cent, premium, and shares in music balls where the ballet is a leading feature pay 4(i per cent, dividend on a year's business. At. Wellington, the Jubilee Committee have decided to secure the co-operation of the ladies. A public meeting will shortly be held, and circulars inviting subscriptions are to be sent out. Talking of the Jubilee, there is an im pression in England that the Queen will hold her rejoicings in the secluded style that has characterised her widowhood. London " Fun " thus caricatures the feel ing : — John Bull is represented as taking his fair partner to the royal dwelling, and is stopped at the door, in the act of enter ing, by a flunky. " I thought," says John, " there was a jubilee party nere." Jeames : " Well, sir, you see, sir, jubilee parties is expensive, and Her Majesty is a-keepin' of her jubilee by herself in the back parlour."
