TABLE TALK.

Last nigbt of " Jim the Penman." Mail steamer in. -Interesting budget of news this time. Details of Irish riots and outrages. Ah! That unhappy country is in a bad way just now. Attempt to kill Balfour, the Irish Secre tary; that's a bad way of trying to got Home Rule. c -_ Bah I That'B a " put-up job " to discredit tho Home Rulers. ' No Irishman did tbat. I hope not; bnt your theory is equally incredible. The Governor and Lady Jervois are back in Wellington. • No paper bnt the Stab has been bold enough to advocate a reduction of Sir William's Salary. By-the-bye, what sort of chap ia Mr Cecil Raikes, who is mentioned as our next Governor? The London "World" says: — "Mr Raikes is a meddling, muddling, foolish! conceited person-unsympathetic and of very little use." .Ergo, they send him to New Zealand to get our £7,500 a year. Not if we know it i A Pleasant Island in the Pacific that Mr Mosb visited, eh ? . That's' where the natives have all got rifles, and go round pleasantly "potting" each other. By-the-bye, "Pleasant Island" would not be a bad name for Tongatabu. Bulgaria wants to raise a loan to save her from Russian domination or financial ruin. Does she ? Then she ought to get Prince Alexander back without delay. ■ . I y_. :. He's the boy to lick the Russians,but how about the other enemy. ■ '• Oh ! Allow Alexander to take care of that. Why. he's a perfect financial genius, before whom Vogel is nowhere. The way he negotiated that loan of 5,000 francs was a caution I ' Oh, I daresay Stoiloff will have no diffi culty in floating a Bulgarian loan in Lon don. ' - -p Of course not; for if England doesn't Btuinp-up,"Rusßia will advance the "ready," and at once get a secure hold of Bul garia. Talking of loans, our Auckland Harbour Board loan has gone off Well in London; i Yes; and I ccc that the balance of the Laanceston loan of £150,000 has been floated at the minimum, £97. London money market must be looking brighter; perhaps the New Zealand gold mines will have a chance yet. No doubt; if war only holds off, we may come out right after all. ■ The West Australian Land Company has resolved to increase its capital by £200,000, the directors finding half. .-■ t'_ An Invercargill publican got a fortnight in gaol for not keeping books.- Too bad, for the jolly host, I learn, could neither read nor write. Ignorance appears to be punishable now-a-daya. ~ , Yes. Idea for a new reading of the poet's dictum—•' W here ignorance is crime, 'twere fully to go into business I" . . The latest reported attempt on the life of the Czar is denied. That settles ie then—proves that'thera was an. attempt made. .',", Baron Mikloubo Macleay baa sailed for Australia.

A Leading Editor's "Leader."

• ,1 Melboubne, March 30, 1886.— Some tune fiince, after over twenty years of newspaper employment, the latter decade of: which term has been spent in work of sedentary character, I discovered that constants, ting, want of exercise, night work, and at times irregularity of meals, were developing most unpleasant symptoms of illness. It needed very little medical knowledge to convince that'the trouble arose from the liver and kidneys, and with a wholesome regard- for the American notion that up to thirty-five years of age a man is engaged in breaking down these organs, and for the next thirty five ot hia allotted span in arranging for .their repair,! determined to grapple' with the disease in its incipient stages. I have not had much faith in proprietary medicines hitherto, although the constant testimony to tbe value of some of such remedies places them beyond doubt and criticism. I: in tended to seek medical advice, when tbe question was asked by a fellow pressman, "Why not try Warner's safe cure ? - has tried it, and believes it is doing him a great deal of good." Acting from motives of. curiosity, I obtained soma o£ the .sal. cure, und and the merits of the remedy not a whit overrated. It speedily relieved me of the unpleasant symptoms of disease "which had become apparent. It'remedied tbo dyspepsia to WhichT was at titties a victim, gave me a better appetite, and has generally increased' my enjoyment. of living and pleasure in work. The medicine, judging by its effects upon myself, is amostvaluabl. one, • and I.have no hesitation in recommend ing it to the numerous class in Australia of those who, from various causes, suffer from liver and kidney colnplainteii-Gi Ai Bioi.
