TABLE TALK.

Political campaign still proceeding. City West battle opens to-night. Mr J. M. Shera at St. James's Hall. Sir Robert Stout had a successful meeting last night. "Wellington Chamber of Commerce ask their committee to consider the bankruptcy laws. There are 147 maleand 14 female prisoners in Mount Eden Gaol. About 50 young men attend the gym nastic classes at the V.M.C.A. Rooms. Wet weather has delayed the completion of Te Kuiti contract on the Trunk Rail way. In Sydney, now, when you say that a man has joined the great majority you don't mean that he has died. You mean that he has become a protectionist. Political rapprochement, ! " The candidate for Eden " and the head of " that wretched .and ignorant Government" were observed in close confabulation in Fort-street yester day afternoon. Very little orchard planting has taken place in the Waikato districts this season. Who says the colonies are being drained of gold ? Leaving out the other descrip tions of money altogether, the amount of sovereigns and bullion in the Sydney banks and Sydney Mint now totals nearly £5,000,000. It is denied that the Midland Railway Company are importing all material from England. Drays, waggons, harness, and even iron girders for bridges are being made in the colony. '• The Law Court at Otorohanga has ad journed for three months. A step in the right direction ! Welling ton Chamber of Commerce has oassed a resolution to the effect that the Govern ment should provide means of trade in struction to the youths of the colony. Large areas of land are to be placed under wheat and oats in Waikato this season. On the Morrinsville estate alone it is ex pected that over 1000 acres will be under crop. Auckland beats Wellington even at boxing; the Empire City is good for. a "blow," but when it comes to real blows she is nowhere. Murphy, of Auckland, and Allan, of Wellington, fought for the lightweight) championship last evening at the Opera House in Wellington, which was crowded, hundreds being turned away. Murphy Avon as he liked. Allan was terribly knocked about. A miner's cottage at Rimu, near Hoki tika, was burned down on Monday night. The owner, named Neilson, was absent, and the neighbours rescued his wife and three little children at great risk. They were half suffocated by smoke at the time, and wero only saved in their nightdresses. It is stated that Mr Drurnmond, later sheep inspector of the Wairarapa district, who has been sent up to Auckland 1;o supersede Mr Lewis, is now on a visit to the Waikato, his chief object being to in spect and report upon the rabbit nuisange in this part of the country. The Colonial Union line of steamers mean to cut the passage rates between England and the% colonies. Saloon fares L4O and third class Ll4. The Balmoral Castle, the first of the line, has left London, a full ship, for New Zea land and Sydney. She is to take sixty days on the trip to this colony. • There is now in Australia a man who charges a thousand guineas for reporting on a gold-mine—and gets it almost every time. The following little dialogue may be of use to the tactician in dealing with the un employed :—Householder : " What do you want here? Work?" Needy but haughty Socialist: " No, I can get more work th4n I know what to do with. I want a little beer or its equivalent in coin."

" What is a paradox ?" asked the pro fessor,and the brightest student of them all stood up and answered, " A woman trying to play whist."

At a Compensation Court held at Welling ton yesterday, Major Deve claimed L1,5u0 from the City Council for loss of foreshore rights. The Bench awarded him Ll5O and ordered the plaintiff to pay costs.

Jubilee items still keep dropping in, and the following from Tasmania is none the worse for coming later : —After the memor able 21st of June, Nemesis -in the guise of a gentle lady named Mullen—walked into the bedroom of the Mayoress of Hobart and whacked her with an umbrella, because '' the Ma}'or had been spending the people's money on illuminations." For this original act of retributive justice poor Mullen was fined forty shillings.

Pukekohe is interested at the present time in the mild excitement of an impend ing action for breach of promise which is being brought against a settler of that place by a Tuakau girl. Dan: ages are stated at £400.

Sydney pawnbrokers are not the flint hearted persons they are accredited with being, after all. One of them, who had £3 mortgage on a widow's sewing-onachice, let) her off after she had paid interest amount ing to £12 10s. The rest of the ring called him a " mug," but he couldcVt go against) his conscience.

During the reign of Queen Victoria there have, been erected 6,500 buildings for'wor* ship in the Church-of England "against 3,000 by all other religions put together. Se>;en new ..dipceses.haye beeji founded at home and sixty-two in the colonies. With* in the last half of her reign L 51,000,000 have been voluntarily subscribed for church purposes, and L 22,000,000 for elementary education in voluntary schools.
