TABLE TALK.

National Parks Bill is drafted. That's the measure referring to Tongariro National Park. j Yes ; but it gives power a i so to rescvvc any " wonderland " as pleasure grounds. It's a matter of "wonder" to me that the ranges around the Waitakerei Falls have not been so reserved. Our City Councillors had the offer of largo blocks there, by Messrs Martin, Wasley a"r Cru ayte' but declined to purchase. They're wrong. In a short time they will want to draw their water supply from that district, and may have to pay a stiff price for land to prevent the water getting polluted. ° I believe you're right. Just taihoa, which being interpreted signifies Wayte. ;. Volunteer " troubles " still rife. You mean the Taranaki encampment,; where the whole force is charged with; " disgraceful rowdyism." Yes ; the Defence Minister, of course, say 3; the whole affair is exaggerated, but an in quiry is to be held and the offenders punished. Some Volunteers in Wanganui entitled to medals for sixteen years' service wane to know where to get them from. Talking of Volunteers, who was thafa Auckland officer who took over feather bed and pillows to the camp ? Hush ! Mum's the word. Are you nob afraid of being ordered under arrest for hinting at such a thing ? Devonport Lawn Tennis Club concert i 3 postponed. The " Nxw Zealand Methodist " has nob paid as a private concern, and will soon lloat into a company. One of the now provisional directors—no less a personage than the Rev. Joseph Berry—comes to Auckland next week to work on the feelings of the people and in duce them to take shares. He's the very chap to do it. He*was onco on the Government list in England as an immigrant induce!'. Big blaze in Kemuera district last night. What was it ? Nothing but a lot of scrub near the native settlement at Orakei; no property of value destroyed. Steamer Oreti has gone with 20 tons of. flour to the special settlers at Whangapc. [ Of course ; must take good care those' settlers don't starve until the election1 is over. ~Ko fear of them starving at any time. Why, the local storekeepers are selling them beef at 3d per lb on credit. Land of Goshen ! I should think tho whole of the " unemployed" would soon find their way there. You bet. A correspondent says :—" The settlers are. the happiest lot of people I have been amongst for a long time. They have a piano, and dancing goes on in the chief's central whare every Saturday night. They are indignant at having been regarded as paupers.1' 1 was right, you see. The English Go vernment have "squared" the rope with. regard to Irish affairs. Apparently so: for His Holiness has warned the Irish Bishops to refrain from taking part in the Nationalist agitation. But how have they managed it 'i Oh,_allow the cute Tories 1-They are fond of denouncing. Gladstone's Popish leanings ; but the upholders of the Crown and Constitution, the pets of the Orange--, men and. the bulwarks of Protestantism, j can coquet with Rome when patriotism re-.; quires it. ' • ,' Which means when it is necessary for-, them to retain office. Just so. Oh, one half of the Tory Pro testant'peers are secretly attached to the Romish" Church. Another libel case decided in favour of j the newspaper press. Oh, that "oyster-■ woman who locked the fish up " and tried ■ to get £100 damages from the AVellington ; " Times." , Simply because the paper said a " fright- ■ ful stench " arose from the premises, too.< It would bo a good tiling if newspapers had •■ some protection against such trumpery. "Written in Sand "and " Nita's First" are to be repeated at the Opera House to- A splendid night's fun, and the amusing " Betsy " is to appear once more to-morrow. night.
