TABLE TALK.

Fine weather continues. Nc sign of the promised rain. Must " rein " in your impatience. Annual meeting of Rugby Union to* night. Dcwie " casting out devils.'' Ye?; Mr Dev(er)il admits that it was ho who denouncer! Mr Dowie the other night. Proves the diabolical character of Spirit ualism,'eh ? Ex Governor Core Browne is dead, aged 80 years. Good old man : a soldier from his boy hood, and wading in gore (red, not brown) on many a welJ-fought field. Noted as much for his humanity as hi 3 gallantry. Shameful that the only memento of him in New Zealand is his name on a public-house signboard. Oh, xic itur ad wttra, which in the vulgar speech signifies—" That's the way to glory I" The world is but a fleeting show, and most of us h"nd all the good seats taken. Arawata in—bananas ! She towed the Suva from Fiji to Poor Knight?. The Suva missed a trip to Tonga; no news of "atrocities." Hope we'll have the Diamond in one of these days with the High Commissioner. Two hundred compositors are out of work in Sydney. Col. Fraser is to address his constituents at Thames; on Friday next. Stanley, the explorer, smokes six cigars a day—couldn't manage a pipe till he was thirty. A new Etyla of umbrella in America has a glass lookout in front. Saturday next (St. George's Day) will be a bank holiday. Why is the earth like a school slate ?—Be cause boys and girls multiply on the face of it. The Civil court list at Wanganui Supreme Court is expected to occupy two weeks. 1 The Customs authorities at Toranto, Ontario, seized as obscene literature a large number of verbatim reports of the Colin Campbell divorce proceeding.?. So Dr. Lynn has "struck ile" at the Opera House. Quite so; and singularly enough his " crowded houses " cannot be attributed to any great preliminary flourish of trumpets. I suppose the fact is another proof of the gullibility of human nature. Looks like it; in fact.people have a weak nee? for being " taken in." The sage ot Chelsea must have had good reason for his celebrated statement thab " men are mostly fools." Perhaps so ; yet the doctor is a wonder fully good entertainer, and his tricks are very dexterously performed. By the-way have you noticed that some of his advertisements describe him as " th« famous e-ravicUvr a' Yes ; what doe* the term signify ? Well, the French dictionaries give the meaning as "fikher, and pilferer." Bather roupb en the Ooctcr. Somebody must havo been givingftrim away very badly. Ob, I presume it is used in the sense of the root verb es>camottr —to juggle. At any rate, like that blessed word, " Meso potamia," it is a fine imposing term to con jure the multitude with. Major Greene died yesterday. Miss Minnie Gledhill was tearfully burned by her clothing catching fire last night, and died this morning. Darpoville has been up to Hokianga, slating Hobbs and praising the village settlers. What, is np ? Is City West growing cold, and the hon. member looking out for a new constituency. The admixture of alum with starch will render clothingl, window - curtains, etc., almost in flam ma bio. A building in China, in which the des cendants of Confucius have lived for the past 2,500 years, has juet been destroyed by h're. Great sensation caused by Parnell's letter gloating over the Phcenix Park murders. Parnell's letter ! You're not so green as to suppose the " uncrowned King " would be fool enough to write encn an epistle, even supposing that the " man of blood" cherished such feelings ! Of course he denounces it as a forgery : butl if o man can't forge his own letter, whose letter can he forge ? That's from " Ruddygore,"-quite ap propriate to the theme ; but there* a " fal lacy somewhere"—ParnelJ never wrote that letter, depend upon it. Trish Coercion Bill passed by a large majority. Yes ; and, as the "man of words" says, there will be a speedy crop of crimes and outrages in consequence. Sowing the wind and reaping the whirl wind. I suppose. Annual iestival of the Girls' Friendly Society a' St. Matthew c Church to-morrow night." Christchurch .lubilee jC.ommitte.e .xccom inend the erection of a Keiuge as a memoiial of Her Majesty's reign. Some cf the Committee have risen in re bellion against the idea of thus "advertising our poverty,' but it is expected the move ment will be a success. What would Mr Spurgeon say to the fatalistic wretch who has- discovered the following facts :—On the 28th February, 18(37, Mr Macandrew was elevated to the superintendency ; on the 2Sth February, 1875, Mrs Macandrew died; and on the 2Sih February, JSS7, Mr Macandrew was buried. "Faithful ones" should ponder this : — A boy described the heathen as " folks wob don't fight over religion." Go along! That boy hadn't been to Tongatabu, where chc heathen tight in true Christian style. The Earl and Countess of Aberdeen pay a flying visit to Auckland on Tuesday next. No doubt the Scotch and Irish residents will make some fuss over the Caledonian nobleman who believes in Home Rule for Ireland. New Zealand Volunteers are invited to send a team to the Great Shooting Match at Wimbledon in July next. Too many " troubles" on hand among our Volunteers ici the invitation to bo heeded, Long meeting of the Cabinet at Welling ton yesterday. Lots of matters still to discuss in connec tion with the ccming session of Parlia ment. Have not yet decided what sum to ask Parliament to vote Jcr the Imperial Insti tute. If they are wise, they will only ask p moderate sum, for however excellent tht object can be, we can't spare much for it. Mr Glover, the Allance agent, lectuieo at Paeroa last night. Fire alarm last night; proved to be onlj a chimney in Hardinge-street. Sale of "work opens at Devon port Hall to morrow at '2 p.m. The consumption of boot-blacking it England in a year amounts to a value 0 £560,000,
