TABLE TALK.

—4 Another big fire. Half Eden Terrace gone. People still fighting over water supply. < A "fiery " argument: Cold water thrown , on the "salts." Not the salts in the chemist' shop.but the Opxl crew. Writs for the general elections issued to. day. Lot of excellent pictures received for the Art Gallery from Sir George Grey. Otago boys fairly beaten in the football match yesterday. Auckland riflemen suggest a " nationality match at next meeting of the Rifle Asso ciation. Sir George Grey has consented to give a political address at Oamaru. Irish affairs to the front; Lord Harting ton disapproves of the " proclaiming " of the National League of the Government. Plainly the rock upon which the Tory Go vernment is going to come to grief is— oham-rock ! woTSS oB English estate alone was The Government of South Australia, ' following the example of Sir Henry Parkes at bydney, have declined to provide relief works for the unemployed. The fiery Celt in Canada. Sir John Mac e onuld threatens war against the United btates. Mr W. IT. Eyes, junior, Duputy- Registrar of the Supremo Court at Christ church, died yesterday. The South Australian Government intend to check the inflow of Chinese to the North ern Territory. Minister verms Editor. The wordy war between the Hon. Mr Larnach and the editor of the Otago " Daily Times " is going on with vigour. The Minister has lost his temper. A bag of gold dust, worth £450, was re cently sent through the parcel post in Vic toria. Genuine French colonisation in the New Hebrides, eh? Arrangements are beino made to send 200 liberated convicts from INew Caledonia to the new French acquisi tion. x At the criminal sessions of the Supreme Court at Blenheim to yesterday, Martin. Elliott was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for stealing sheepskins ; and j Will am Turnbull two years and twenty-! live lashes for attempted rape on a farmer's daughter. ■ \ Retrenching zeal in the Government ranks. Mr Ballance means to propose a saving in the cost of the Native Department this year of £7,000. Mr. George Fisher, in his electoral ad-' dress last night at Wellington, referred to Dr. Laishley's report on education as one of • the finest compilations he had ever read ia: his life. A printer in Canada is said to be 103 yeai-3 old. He has made so maay typo* graphical errors during his career that ho is afraid to die. At a meeting of the Amateur Rowing Association at Wellington, Fred Fuller ol Christeburch, and C. A. Knapp of Welling ton, were elected Vice-presidents, and EL C. Batkin, secretary and treasurer. The Governmentwill not come to any da. cision regarding the 3Telbourne Exhibition until Parliament meets.- Meanwhile tha Chambers of Commerce are moving. ; At Dunedin an application to strike a solicitor off the roll has been before the Supreme Court and reserved till the next sitting of the Appeal Court. Appears to be no more than a case o£ "negligence." The solicitor took £10 to put a man through the Bankruptcy Court, i but filed the petition by mistake at' Dunedin, instead of Oamaru. The bank rupt paid another £5 to have the petition! filed at Oamaru, which was done, but no fees were paid. After a lofc of correspon dence, the bankrupt referred the matter to the Law Society, who are now taking these steps. Mark Twain makes an annual income of over £1,000 in royalties on eleven books. Mr 0. E. Hugo, the physiognomist, who will shortly return to Auckland from a tour, in Wanganui district, sends the following neat epigram :— PROTOTYPES. Samson of old pained honour and fame, Powor. glory, immortal name. Through using With skill and dexterity The jaw of an as 3; and to-day we see There's many a nian who is able to fight His way to poljticnl glory and might, Through clothingliimself in an armour of brass, And using as weapon the jaws of an ass. Mr G. N. Pierce, whose marriage was re corded the other day, has left for Perth, Western Australia, to open a branch of the New Zealand Insurance Company there,: where he will be local manager. For the last two years Mr Pierce has been acting as agent of the New Zealand Insurance Com pany at Oamaru.
