TABLE TALK.

Last night o f the Royal Comedy Company. What diall «-c do for amusements when they have gone ? HJ put you up to a Rinkle-go to the Agricultural Hall. Dr Lynn is to open in the Opera House on Monday next. Who is he, and what is ho " doctor " of ? ! " He is now a professor of the black ait of magic ; out ho is a clergyman's son, who was Died to the navy and had command of a gunboat at the age of 23 ; then he studied;. medicine and practised it too for a while , out -gave it up to followthe great passion of hisjito—conjuring. I'm glad to know tliab he is a real doctor : Ho must have quite a varied stock of ao -1 tainments. You've hit it! He has a memory like a' horse, and can recite the whole of " Ham -1? v- stnS'c directions and al! • also Young's oi 1" Thoughts," and the complete Psaltery—a somewhat heterogeneous litera cure fen* a professor of the black art. 1 find that he will not open hero till j lnesday, because the steamer from, tho bouth lias been delayed. Wont to sec " Cheap John "last night. ""* > " Cheap John," dear mo ! What were the thoughts suggested by the spectacle ? Something about "A fool and Jus money. " You don't mean to say that John is a fool, because lie is making lots of coin ? Don't, know. Seems to me i'ools make fortune?, while wise men starve. Startling' iuhw* from holy Tonga—serious allegation:* against; the autocratic white king. Oil, I told you that "holy Russia" wasn't a patch on Tonga for brutal bar barism, and oppression, and everything that's demoralising. It's incredible that 31r Baker should con nive at such tilings as threatening to shoob porn- black devils for telling tho truth. Perhaps you're right; and, you see, if those darkies lied before, they may be lying now, under fear of 11.M.5. Diamond's guns, j Red I ape for ever ! Nothing like it for helping un colonial industries and pro duels. What's the matter now ? Mid you ,-cc that excellent report by Prof. Kirk, of the Forestry Department, on the quality of Jinies. grown at Lake Taku pun.-i? Of course 1 did ; but where does the red tape come in ? Why, tho analysis was made in 1880, and the report is nut, published for sevou long years. Oh, ho! keep a thin^ seven years and you'll find :i use fur it. I\'o wonder our colonial industries lay behind. _: . Further, tho whole analysis was embodied by Pond in an itddrusg to the Auckland Institute in 1881. 1 guess ih is the approach of tho elections Mint is slinintj uji the Government, to inuku a sbow of,zeal on belialf of local industries. Will the Queen Abdicate this year '! 01 course not. Why should she do any thing so absurd in her jubilee year ? Just this lit lie incident : The " Tall Mall (lazette " recently offered a prize for the best suggestion as to what Her Majesty should rlo in her jubilee- year, and a major; ity of the answerers suggested that alia should abdicate. Humph! Wonder if H.B.MJ lias been made aware of those loyal desires of her loving subjects .' Pon't know; but T bad no idea English men were so anxious for the advent of tho "Coming K." Bless you, the Londoners are just dying for it ! They know that Albert Edward will make the money go, and inaugurate lively times in the metropolis. Kanio Coal mine is to bo closed till the ventilation is improved. A wise resolve. Tt is well to prevent; such a terrible disaster as that which took place lit Bnlli recently. NfeWfij AND NOTES. Glubjs REAriiiGs'Lie to be discontinued in Auckland public schools. The Minister of Works, in his address last night, dealt on the question of railway reform. Paris is said to consume nearly fifty tons of snails in a season. The newspaper reading-room at Auckland Free Libiary is a very popular institution. Inpcctor Kiely lias left Otorohanga, the dispute between the railway contractor and natives having been satisfactorily settled. Tho new London Directory gives the names of 2,125 .Smiths, 1,104 Joneses, 70S Browns, and 46/ Robinsons. Rotorua tourist traffic continues brisk, thirteen being booked through to tho' Wonderland yesterday. ; Dr. Louis Joberfc says no traveller has ever found a purely left-handed race, although there are some tribes which givo preference to the left hand and a majority of whom Are left-handed. Petitions to the "New Zealand Parliament in favour of female suffrage arc being signed in Auckland. : %h- Spurgeon says of tho Salvation Army : —"lfit were wiiped out of London, .") 000 extra policemen could not fill its place in the repression of crime and disorder." Yachting enthusiasm appears to be short lived in Auckland; Two .•■ecent meetings of the Yacht Club have lapsed for want of a quotum. The times are iiot so badly depressed, judging by tho high pi-icfis paid at tho C i-owiA-ands sale the other flay. England is tho greatest champagne drinkincr country in' the world. The annual consumption is said to be not less than five million bottles*. - _ Auckland University lectures are in full swill". Professor Drown yesterday lee turei? on "Heat," Professor Thomas on bsology, and Professor Posnctt ou " The Study of Language." _ ■ "■_ Unless the misuse of dynamite in Eng land be stopped, tho Englishman will pre sently discover that he himself is living in '«blarsted " country. Col. Haultain has sent a fine picture screen and Mr J. R. do Courcy a nicoly framed oleograph to the Lunatic Asylum Kecreation Society. Messrs Haml in nnd Moat are addressing their constituents, prior to leaving for Wel lington. The beggars of Rome, it is estimated, re ceive £460,000 a year, and 500 arc said to be worth from £3,000 to £5,000 each. English capitalists are considori?ijj a project for tho building of a railrond throng* the picturesque lake district from Winfl^C mere to Amblcsidc— a great resort lot summer travellers. ■ The Wellington polico have arrested Elizabeth Treenery on the charge of re ccivin" a quantity of plate and wearing ap pareliy whioh;ie is alleged, wasstolen by tho convict Crabtrec during the time he was at large recently. . A method of making ?<'is from crude oil lvts been discovered at Bolivar, Allcghany county, United States. It costs & penny « thousand feet to manufacture.
