TABLE TALK.

• —*»__ , ArpKEciATiO-. of gold. : t New find in Thames district. Last night of the Buffaloes. The Majeronis open to-morrow nighti * Ministers keep movine. at the public ex ■ pense. . Mr Richardson has left Wellington for Lyttelton Sir Julius Vogel is on his way Northfrom . Dunedin. Devonport has confidence in Mr Reader Wood. i Waitemata is a literary constituency; both a Monk and a Reader seek the suf frages of the electors. i Yet "local industry" will not be neglected, for Monk is in the timber trade, . and Reader has a close connection with Wood! 1 Auckland Timber Company made a loss ; of L 261 on last year's operations, and have ; reason to rejoice that it wasn't ten times * that sum. j The Wellington folks half expect that Sir ' Geo. Grey will return to power in the new i Parliament. The "independent" candi -1 dates are expected to give him support. Miss Baker was in a precarious con dition when the s.s. Richmond was last at Tonga. During last year Auckland had tha lowest death rate—o72 per I,ooo—of any colonial city. Saturday last was a night of incipient fires. There was one at Mr F. Duder's residence, Devonport, caused by a defective flue. Flowers of oratory—Bags of flour thrown about at political meetings. Ah, there were a lot of floury orators at Mr Withy's meeting last night. Free trade for the jolly millers ! The Registrar-General gives the popula tion of the four leading cities of New Zea land as follows :—Auckland, 35,965 : Wel lington, 26,956 ; Dunedin, 24,233; Christ church, 15,684. ' There is much snow on the mountains around Greymouth, and more floods are feared from the melting of the snow. i During last month the mean temperature was below the average in Auckland, but above it in Wellington and Canterbury. • TheßritishPrimroseLeaguenumbersclose upon 600,000 knights, dames, and associ ates ; they are said to be multiplying. The goal is a million. Addressing the electors of Dunstan. lately, Mr Vincent Pyke said, in reply to a question, thab he would vote, as he had before, in favour of the Bible in schools, although he would nob go the length that Bishop Nevill did. He saw no harm in* boys kissing a pretty girl, and did not 1 believe the yarn about the teacher having: to get his wife to protect him. He thought it was far more likely she went to protect the girls. (Great laughter). . After that Mr Pyke got a triumphant vote of thanks and confidence, and it is now said that no "old colonial hand" could: oust him from his seat. ' ' The Anti-Chinese question is going to be a big thing in Wanganui soon. A China man has opened in the grocery- line, aridl three of the leading firms have boycotted » traveller from the wholesale house that supplies the Chinaman. .... I The matter has now been brought up in an informal manner before the Borough Council, and the ne-ffc thing will be that the Chamber of Commerce will discuss it. Maori Hill Borough Council, Otago, have to pay £15 damages and £5 15s costs for in jury done to a horse by a culvert in one of their streets giving way. In the Court-room.—Judge (to a very homely old maid): Miss, in what year was you born J Witness: In the year 1866. Judge: B.C. or a. d? S. S. Hutcheson, a Dunedin bankrupt, is doing well in Melbourne, and Mr Justice Williams refuses to grant him his dis charge. ( Quite right; there should be an inter. ] colonial bankruptcy law to prevent undis- j charged bankrupts from carrying on busi ness in any of the colonies. The five-roomed house of Jas. Elaws, at Kaiwarra, Wellington, was burned down yesterday. Loss, £100 over the insurance. •■
