TABLE TALK.

G.O.M. at the City Hall. Pity it's so wet. But he is never dry. The Railway Reformer is " out." It is to be hoped he will get " in " Query—Will City North take the Vaile"♦ j Oh, go and be a nunnery ! I'm no hand ab i conundrums. _Mr Moss gob a vote of confidence last ' night. I He has been asked to contest City North, but means to stick to Parnell. - . '■ Right he is ; Moss is no " rolling stone." Ihat north-easterly " buster" has arrived, but is rather a tame affair. • " Not so in the South, where they have had tremendous rains and disastrous floods. There are 842 missionaries in China, 142 ' of whom are Pi'esbyterians. The Irish Wesleyan ministers, with only , six exceptions, are opposed to Home Rule. Shows that Father Vaggioli is right in declaring that the refusal of Home Rule to Ireland is on religious grounds. They are to have a fancy dress ball ab I Katikati to-morrow night. Larrikinsm at the free night school ab Newton, eh ? Surely that report is maliciously circu lated by some enemy of education, who wishes to make out that culture is the cause of ruffianism. . ' They thrash wheat to get the good quali ties out of it. They thrash a boy to get the good qualities into him. lb is intended to form a Young Men's j Christian Association at Tauranga. The Adelaide "Register" completed its ' fiftieth year in June last. A newspaper jubilee is a rare thing in j Australasia as yet; indeed, very few Eng- \ lish newspapers reach that respectable age. Te Kooti is in Opotiki and professes peaceful intentions. Brown — Whose umbrella is this ? lb I looks like one I lost. Smith—l don't see : how it can, for I scraped the handle and altered it generally. Matthews and Laing have arranged to have a glove fight in Wellington shortly for LSO a side and the championship of New- Zealand. , -':' i Captain Todd, late of the ship Northum-' berland, is to be Marine Superintendent of i Tyser and Co.'s Colonial Union Steamship j line. j Mother —Johnnie, brush the dusb off your ! boots, Johnnie—ls that the kind' of dust Sapa was talking to governess about'? S I other—What did he say? Johnnie—He said: "Dost thou love me, Agnes?"! Mother—No, it was not, Johnnie; bub : Agnes will dust oub of here to-morrow morning. Mr Walter Bayne of Karangahape Road, is the exhibitor of excellent cabinet work in the Adelaide Exhibition. ' \ Taunton, in Somerset, is now completely j illuminated by the electric light instead of j gas, this being the only town in England ■ at present thus provided. Stiggins married his typewriting girl, j Before they were married he was in the habit of dictating to her, but after marriage j she dictated to him, and very successfully j too. ' j Where is all the zeal of the Ministry in ■ favour of women's rights now ? * ■ ' Yesterday Mr Ballance was asked ab j Wellington if married women might take ) up special settlement: lots in cases where ! the husband was disqualified.,.. The Minister thought the proposal i against the spirit of the Act, bub would look into the question to, see if any legal I reasons existed against married women j taking up land. ;.,.-.-; It is to be hoped he will arrive at a satis factory and " special settlement" of the women's rights question. , Penny post cards can now be used in all the Australasian colonies except New Zea- ! land. Our Postmaster-General, with, all his capacity for work, has not managed yet to give us postal cards or parcel post.' " ' ; A late letter from Perth, Western Aus tralia, says:—"We are gettingsome horrible accounts from Kimberley just now. They have plenty of water bub no gold; the rivers are flooded, so that there is no com munication with the township. A large number have died on the field." A movement is afoot in Wellington to effect an amalgamation between the "New Zealand Times" and "Evening Press," and float the joint concern as a limited liability company. ,-',"• J Allan Campbell, the Wellington Volun teer arrested for neglecting to return his accoutrements, has been discharged— the j information against him being withdrawn, j The Magistrate warned Volunteers that they were liable to two months' hard ! labour for offences of this nature. The law's delay is the lawyer's meat. ! Professor Hutton, of CJiristchurch, is ex pected immediately at Waiboa, where he | will remain aboub a week to thoroughly ex- j amine and report upon the probable extent j and value of the auriferous deposit found j upon the property of Mr J B. Smith. During his stay a trial will be made of a j new, gold-saving apparatus, by means of 1 which it is thought the stuff may be very satisfactorily treated at'a very low cost. " Tarannki graziers are of opinion that fab cattle will advance LI a head in price very ! soon. . . ■• tin- •■ •' • Christian work is being carried on sue- j cessfully among tlie lepers in India, of I Whom there are fourteen thousand in the ■ Madras Presidency alone. ' i "Why is a small boy like a woman?" : said a man to his troublesome wife. No ■ response. ." Because he will make a man I grown," said the conundrumist. According to private letters received j from Paris the object'of Dhuleep Singh's ; mission to Russia is to organise acorifedera- -. tion of England's enemies, to consist, of ! disaffected Indians and Canadians, with a sprinkling of Irish volunteers. .Efforts will then be made" to stir up insurrection on the Afghan trontier. No importance'is at- j .ached to the matter by the Indian native PreSS.'"''-'' ■•■ UsMiill:],:..,-> -;ii; .;■■::- Of";,' I
