PIUCE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Otago football team has arrived. No holiday for the match on Wednea-: day. Last two nights of the Buffalo Minstrels, Big benefit night to-morrow ; will Hugo J will Hugo ? Fresh eruption of political activity. Mr Reader Wood at Devonporfc to-' night ; and addresses also by Messrs Aitken Connell, Withy, Monk, and Osborne. The English Government mean to keep a sharp look-out on Tonga in future. The Marquis of Norman by comes to the colonies shortly to avoid the English winter. Cheap money for New Zealand ! Rates of interest on fixed deposits have been reduced, and a reduction on the rates for advances 13 expected to follow. A steamer of the Inman line has been burned while crossing the Atlantic, and thirteen lives have been lost. _ Canterbury football representatives are in \\ elhngton ; they play a match at Mas terton on Wednesday. New Zealand wheat placed on the Mel-: bourne market this season has given every satisfaction. ° Women's rights movement is premature. The Thames lady who was offered a Civil Service appointment has declined it. An orchestra of women, who are all players of brass instruments, is making a sensation in Dresden. The farmers of Mount Gambier (South' Australia) are asking for protection against) the importation of Tasmanian potatoes and onions. Murphy, the Auckland boxer, has. i " knocked out :> Feddes at Dunedin, ii« ' two rounds. Proves that our "Murphy" is nob a potato, but a potato-masher. i A. W. Willis Ins got three months' im prisonment at Greymouth for obtaining a passage by the steamer Ohau from Auck land on false pretences. A monument is to be erected by the Go-: vernment of New South Wales at Bulli, to the memory of the miners who perished in the recent explosion. { The recent cold nights have caused great: mortality among the young lambs in Waikato district. Harrowing accounts are given of floods afc i Chee Chow Foo, China. Over a thousand! persons have been drowned. There was a. large turn-out at the meet I of the Pakuranga Hunt Club on Saturday j About 7,000,000 gallons of spirits are dis-! tilled every year in France from beet root. This is the source of much of the famous pale brandies so popular in the colonies. ! And yet many old topers, smacking, their lips after a glass of the beverage, will I exclaim—" That can't be beet !" i A bill forbidding the sale of tobacco in' any form to minors under 16 years has passed the Illinois Legislature, the penalty being §20 for each offence. The ancient Maori was rather indecent, but our paternal Government does not consider it a duty to publish all his in- i decent stories. Better spend the money in paying wages of watchmen to keep all the'public build ings in the colony from being burned down. | Our Post Office had a narrow squeak this morning. j Two incipient fires took place at Welling ton on Saturday nisrht, arid one of them might have resulted in the burning of the! Opera House, while by the other the Supreme Court buildings were endangered. Municipal elections approaching. Six Councillors to be elected in Auckland on Bth September, three at Parnell, and three! at Newmarket on the same day. The Auditor-General has disallowed the following items in Christchurch Corpora tion accounts : —Payment to the licensing clerk, £50 ; refund of club license, £5; expense of Queen's Jubilee meeting, £40 7s ; contribution to Fire Brigade picnic, £10 10s. The late Sir Julius Yon Haast had a big funeral at Christchurch on Saturday. 11j was attended by the governors, professors, and students of the Canterbury College, the City Council, the.lndustrial Association, the consuls, the Freemasons, and a large number of private citizens. Troubled Waters ! The Wellington bank rupt and " alleged " embezzler has left the colony for America. Perhaps ho means to call on Mr Langworthy. There are little, sweet, pretty, and green oases all the way through the desert of life, but the fat man who breaks a suspender on a hot day when running to catch a train doesn't think of this.
