TABLE TALK.

Chhistchtjrch has.confidence in Sir Julius.' And Auckland North in Mr Vaile. Armed to the Teeth.—A dentist. Only a Question of Time.—Asking tho' hour. | Sir William Fox at the City Hall to-night, j Mr H. W. Farnall at the Temperance Hall. Mr J. A. Connell has no meeting at the I Choral Hall to-night. That hall is occupied every Wednesday ! evening by a skating rink. Tliereare 1,971 certificated teachers em ployed in New Zealand schools. Major Dane's last lecture in the Opera House this evening. He leaves by the Mail Steamer on Friday. Annual meeting of Auckland Chamber of Commerce takes place to-morrow after-1 noon. i Heavy rains in Canterbury, and floods are I once more threatened.

Capt. Edwin promised Auckland a strong gale this morning, but apparently has nob been able to raise the wind. Fire inquest ab Eden Vine Hotel this' afternoon. Pulford's " Parliamentary Handbook of New Zealand " will be published soon after the meeting of the new Parliament. ] A Judicial Circuit.—Going round thel hornet's nest. "Death from lead-poisoning" is the! polite expression used by Colorado juries to specify a gambler's fate in a shooting affray. " Scotland's chiels " keep marching along —or rather dancing along. They appear at); Otahuhu to-night, and in Auckland to-mor-: row evening. An eminent scientist predicts for Aus tralia shortly volcanic eruptions upon such a scale that thoae in New Zealand last year will be a bagatelle in comparison. The United Insurance Company resisted; a claim for £320 on a fire policy at Dunedin, \ but the Supreme Court has ordered the Company to "stumpup." i " Travellers' tales " are again dropping in from Kimberley goldfield. It is said that one miner has sent 1 cwt of pure gold to Perth, and that another has an equal gup ply at Kimberley. Magistrate, to the complainant : " Who was present when the defendant knocked! you down?" Complainant: "I was." Thomas Chevalier Robinson, who died of i apoplexy at Dunedin yesterday, was formerly a captain in the 06th Regiment, but had been reduced to selling newspapers' in the streets. The Maoris at Whatiwhatihoe had a " burst" the other day in honour of King Tawhiao's accession to the Kingship. Like other Royal celebrations, it took: the shape of "cadging" from loyal sub jects. About L3 9s were collected in coppers. The Maoris being too poor to buy drink, His Majesty's health was not drunk. (None of his subjects were " drunk" either). A great quantity of gunpowder was blazed away, also some dynamite charges, a few pigs and bullocks were consumed, and a small display of fireworks in the evening commemmorated the event. One of the hotels at' Alexandra - the Shamrock—has had to close under the com bined pressure of hai'd times and the L4O license fee. " Do not put your feet on the cushions," is an injunction read occasionally in a rail way carriage; "or you Will dirty your boots," was found added the other day by a cynical traveller. A social meeting was held in the Taber nacle schoolroom last night, in celebra tion of the eighteenth session of the Young Men's Baptist Mutual Improvement) Society. A cat's eyes are said to be the largest ab midnight. We never made the examina tion, but we are positive that its voice is about seventeen times larger at that hour than at any other period during the twenty four.

The new gold-saving machine, now being made by Messrs Geo. Fraser and Son to test the washdirt discovered on the land of Mr Smith, of Waitoa, is the invention of Mr James Sinden, of Alexandra. Onehunga Borough Council will ask tenders for a loan of L 5,000 in debentures of LIOO and upwards, repayable in twenty years.

A horse which was impounded at Surrey Hills a week ago has been taken by night out of the pound. a Ann Parker, an umbrella repairer, is charged with stealing a silver watch from the body of a man picked up in Wellington Harbour. Of course, she may not be guilty : but it is stated that she was seen near the dead man, that she then went home, and that her daughter found the watch in the back yard. Accused also admits that she picked' up the watch. Authority on cuisine says that a duck ought not not to stand long after being roasted. Probably it would do no harm to let the duck sit up if it isn't too tired, bub it shouldn't be allowed to swim in the gravy. The men at work on Messrs Heath and Irvine's railway contract, Paeroa-Hikutaia secton, recently "struck" on account of

wages. According tp the Thames• ■ "Star" the contract was taken far too low and Mr Carter, butcher, of Wellesley-street, Auck lan , who is surety.,for, the cpntraetsrs, will possibly be a great loser. The "strike" is said to have been amicably settled. The well-known Irish and Dutch come-, dian, Mr T. S. Farron, for many years con- ' nected with the Lynch Family of Bell ringers, died a few days ago in Sydney from consumption. It-was his intention to rejoin the Company at Auckland prior to; their departure for San Francisco. Mr Farron now lies buried in the pretty ceme rery at Rookwood, side by side with another member of the Lynch Company, Professor. A. Statham, who died from the same fell' disease in Sydney some six months ago. ; " There are two things in this world," says a correspondent, "that I can't under stand—one is, that you catch a cold without trying ; the other, that if you let it run on it stays with you, and if you stop it ifc goe»' away."
