TABLE TALK.

Caekollo's Carnivallo to-night. More Edwinian weather promised. Gcorgie Smithson at the Opera House to. morrow. " Late repentance, long despair," of New Zealand Radicals. They vainly cry to the Premier, " Will ye no come back again ?"' Fast of the Atonement to-day. -Declaration of polls to-morrow. Rumours of "nuggets" from Waitoa, but no conhrniation. On the contrary, some private tests of the r,y, deposit are disappointing. Ihe City Council chamber, freshly repaired will probably be occupied at to morrow s meeting. 1 hero have been some rumours of possible election petitions in Auckland district, bub they have come to nought. Mesdamcs Revitt and Hallett's social gathering ab the Masonic Hall, Princes street, last night, was very successful. The Mow Zealand Parcel Post will come in force on Saturday next, Ist October. iiie Government Insurance Department have entered u/wf occupancy of their New offices m Queen-street, Auckland. J££ ,SnS a W« medical .student of the Paris echools took t doc . tor s degree the other day with honours. A seaman who had escaped from ship wreck was asked by. a lady how he felt when the waves broke over him. " Wet, ma ma," he said 3 '« very wet." It is reported that a London syndicate has undertaken to- build a railway connect olymo^ I^^"11 ' °U C°al &cck > ™f Maxßinkle will wrinkle the faces of his audience with laughter to-night at the Agricultural Hall in his new entertainment. Countess Olga Pontatiue, recently an attendant on the Empress of Russia, has just passed through America on her way to Japan as a missionary of the Orthodox L/nurco. It is stated that in the word competition for• Sobarrer'B £30 prize, one young lady has goo between nine and ten thousand differ ent words from the letters in " Metropoli tan Handicap." This seems hardly pos sible, for no word must contain more re pititions of any one letter than are con tained m the two words "Metropolitan .Handicap." r This winter has been the severest season ever experienced at Taupo. The snow has fallen at a lower level on the ranges and more continuously than can be recollected by any European resident or the natives 1 themselves. "Can February March?" asked Daniel. AY j^i y smila "perliaps not," re plied Charley in his quiet way, " but April May. "Don't July about it," added Peter.

A steam launch lias been conveyed to laupo Lake, at the order of Messrs Sprool and larmer, for the tourist season. The vessel was taken by way of Lichfield on a truck built for the purpose, and occupied live days in its transit. How times change. A writer says thab thirty .years ago a man who wore hair on his upper lip was considered either a lunatic or a foreigner. Now he may be both. ■ J Hikutaia gold discovery eclipsed ! A diamond mine has been discovered under neath the stage at the Agricultural Hall. Max Einkle invites the public.to go and see for themselves. There are in the United States 132,435 churches, 91,911 ministers, and 16,018,977 members* to a population of from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000. At the head of the denomi ations m the United States are the Metho dists (mostly Episcopalian), with 4,532,658 communicants. The Konian Catholics are about 4,000,000. Mr J. Stewart, jun., the champion cyclist, made the best time on record the other day from Newmarket to Mercer, a distance of 3S miles, in 3hrs and 50min, the previous record being 4hrs and 15min. From Manurewa to Papakura he kept abreast of the goods train, and reached Drury three minutes in advance of it.
