TABLE TALK.

Dear departed Dowie ! 7' ' ' Shook off the dust from his shoes last night.

Very smutty dust it was, too ! Disappointed in Press, Parliament, and People, he called in the fourth P., the Police.

But did they answer when he called on them ? I guess not. Strange that he should have rounded on the Press of Auckland after his high eulo giums on them at the start.

Not a bit. Tho papers showed a want of " faith " by their inconvenient habit of let ting both sides be heard, and therefore he consigned them to

I know—tho place where all the Free masons go !

Just so ; with the goats ; but Dowie and his lot go with the sheep. Sheep or goat, he managed to "fleece" the Auckland people nicely. The collec tions at his mission reached the total of £100 13b.

Distinguished arrivals—Earl and Coun tess of Aberdeen. Hurrah I and also—

And also—what do you mean ? Oh I see — and also the Lynch family of Bellringers ! Ancient and distinguished family, aren'fc

Aberdeen or Lynch ? For that matter of it, both aro; so "ringoutj wild bells, to the wild sky." The sky ia rather " wild" at present; just as I said —the weather prophet is cross and sends in nothing but storms. Professor Salmond opened the session of the Otawo University by an address in the Lyceum Hall afc Dunedin last night. Glad to notice that the students wero better behaved than when "Sir Rubbart" had to threaten to call in the police. Been to the London Circus ? Of course I've been to London seeing— not the Queen, but the Air King, in Iris wonderful balancing feats. And the six-horse act and the pony driv ing his four-in-hand, and all the other marvellous feat 3of the modern arena.

Yes; one is never too old to go to the circus, somehow ; but of course I take the boy witli me to save appearances. The Anglican Bishop of Wellington is enjoying tlie benefit; of Te Aroha Hob Springs.

That's the good old gentleman who gob up in a hurry during a recent fire alarm ato Wellington and foil downstairs.

The same. Let's hope he will soon re cover. . .

Tho body of a man washed ashore at) Waipapa proved to be that of Comor, who was one of the occupants of the boat which drifted from Bluff Harbour three M'eoks ago, and capsized on the beach.

A seal about seven feet long was caught by Maori fishermen at Wairau on the Marl borough coast.

The people of Epiphany, in spite of defi cient revenue, are determined to maintain the principle of free seats. May their shadow never grow less. Thati is the sort of Epiphany [Anglic, "manifesta tion ") I appreciate.

The Governor presided at another Jubilee celebration meeting at Wellington last night. And I sco that a public meeting is to be called to further consider the matter.

The Imperial Institute -ftiikl is likely to get a large contribution from New Zealand. ±2,500 already received, including £1,000 from Mr Allan McDonald.

I told you our squatocrncy wonld make a bold bid for titles over this Institbte busi ness.

Much better Jubilee observance if they would spend their money in giving work to the idle men in the colony. Ah, 1 see that there are still lots of " un employed "at Dunedin. The Government are placing about 100 of them on railway works, and 30 aro going to settle on the land under the village homestead scheme.
