PKICE-OKE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Ahotheb suicide. Political rest. Mail steamer in. Waitoaa "duffer." Yet it was nob salted. Warm spring , weather is coming. The peace of Europe is secured at last! The King and Queen of Servia have kissed and made it up. Meeting of Auckland Chamber of Com merce to-morrow. The two R.s for them to consider—Rail way and Rarotonga. The ex-Premier, Sir Robert Stout, has gone back to Dunedin. He is to be presented with a grovelling appeal on Saturday. Despite the appeal, he is not likely to re enter public life just now. The Mohawk Minstrels arrived at One hunga to-day. Grand organ recital ab Sfc. Matthew's Church, Hobson-street, to-night. Councillor Dawson means to run for the Mayor's chair at Dunedin. J. C. Firth's advice to tho ladies—"Only marry a dead shot!" Mrs Aldis has doubtless very differenb advice to offer. Electricity is driving a rock drill on the Westland goldlields. The Wellington Druids are trying to get) the law altered so that they may erecb Druidical emblems in cemeteries. The new Victorian Electoral Act will provide for single-member constituencies throughout the colony. Annual singing and reciting contests of Auckland Band of Hope Union will take place early next month. Intending competitors should communi cate with the secretaries of their societies, without further delay. One out of every 34 persons in England and Wales is in receipt of parish relief. Lady Brassey has died at sea. Ayoub Khan is reported to have been killed. Baron de Lesseps, the great engineer, is reported to be ill. A London telegram announces the death of the Rev. William Butler, Wesleyan clergyman, formerly of Victoria. Mr Tapp, the English mining expert to examine Auckland goldfields, will be here to-morrow. A Jubilee exhibition of articles more than' 50 years old will be opened at Wellington to-night. The correspondent/ adds:—"His Excel lency and Lady Jervois will be present." Are they articles more than 30 years old ? A good idea for a Jubilee Exhibition of this kind would be a collection of spinsters and bachelors, who have celebrated their jubilee of celibacy. Meetings of the Adeline and Tokatea Goldmining Companies will be held iv Auck land a fortnight hence. Herr yon Der Lasa, the celebrated Ger man chess author and player, is at present in Wellington. Mr Benbow, the local champion, has secured a "draw" from him. It is calculated that Broken Hill silver mine contains mineral amounting to 4,158,000 tons worth £12,474,000. The University of Cambridge will confer the honorary, degree of Master ®f Arts on Professor Liversidge, of Sydney. At Ashburton, a complaint has been made that the master of the Old Men's Home unduly influenced the votee of the inmates. The master admits taking 20 of the " old uns" to the poll, just to take care of them ; but he denies having influenced their vote in any way.
