PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

London Circus opens to-night. Good news for our boys. _.j ,J And for lots of old boys, too. ' Mr Dowie's farewell lecture to-night. Good Job ! Auckland is full up of tlio Faith Heale*.

" Clerical Speeler " is a phrase that haa recently been invented in Auckland.

A very expressive one, too; but evi dently coined by some spiteful Freemason. , Season for shooting imported game in New Zealand opens to-day. The " imported landlord season " is open all tho year round in Ireland.

Our local sportsman will now. per form a miracle — make the pheasants quail! Mr Dowia has been att.*icking the three P"s. — Preea, Pulpit and Parliament. Mr Button has been exposing the " heresy "of the Faith Healer. * ' King Tawhiao, who has been at Te Aroha with ZOO Waikato warriors, was expected to leave for Tauranga to-day. There is a church in the North Island among the members of which are two one-: armed ni*n. For obvious reasons these brethren are'employed to take up the col lection.

Canadian thistles have made their ap pearance in tho'South Island, Cambridge Borough Council last week voted £50 a yoar to the Mayor to meet the expenses of his office. There ia great dissatisfaction thereat among the burgesses. j No wonder. Theresulution was passed: on Tuesday afternoon. The money was.' paid over to his Worship on Wednesday morning. This in spite of the fact that, only four months of the year had expired. Archbishop Redwood is to lay the founda tion stone of the new Roman Catholic Church at Onehunga shortly. What a pity that he will not be able to appear in his " pallium" or archiepiscopal vestment, which has not yet arrived from Rome. ... ".

I see tbat Bishops Dunn of Brisbane, and Reynolds of Adelaide, have also been, ele vated, to archiepiscopal rank. . ,' jV Cambridge Jam Company has been wound yp—gone the way of all Waikato Com panies.

Oh, its sot all " jam," floating these companies.

Splendid potatoes and pumpkins grown at the special settlements in Hokianga dis trict where bush was growing in December last.

That's all right; but men can't live on pumpkin and potatoes alone. A boy has been born to the house of a special settler, and he has been christened " John Ballance," in honour of the founder of the scheme.

Should have been twins and the other littlo stranger should have been, called " John Lundon."

Tho French and Germans have settled their little difficulty, and all again is peace. All beoaaso tlio aged Kaiser does hob wish to leave his people " a legacy at blood." ■:..*

A demand is being made for a Select Committee to inquire into some :of tho Stout-Vogel Government's doings since last session. .

Ah, Mr Barrow was quite ri^ht when he declared in a recent kpebcli that "there never had been a Government-that sold favours mora nnblushinglythan the present Government; that there. JIBVer had been ono that trafficked in votes more ; and he hoped they would nerer have another that) would do tbe so-mc."

Loan to Local Bodies farce in the Go vernment Gt-Eetbe. Did you see it . No ; I seldom rend that cheerful publi cation. Can anything good be found in it ? Rather. The following is announced with all the gravity that characterises a circus clown when he pretends not to see a thing stuck before his eyes :—" Result of poll on proposal to borrow £100, under tho provisions of ' The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1880,' for extension of Alfredton District Road Formation, for Alfredton Road District. 14th December, 18S0 : Total number of ratepayers on roll, representing 4 votes, 1 ; votes recorded for proposal, 4 ; Number of ratepayers voting for the proposol, 1 ; votes against, none; number of ratepayers voting against the proposal, none ; informal, none ; votes nob recorded, none; total of votes against, none.

What a wonderful district that must be 1 Only one voter on the roll, giving all hia votes so harmoniously and correctly. : 16 must be a regular Paradise. I guess so. If I were he I would hava made the loan a cool thousand when I waa at it. The Road Board meetings thero must be rather monotonous, eh ?

Yes ; and an election must be as ex hilarating as a funeral. No doubt the Board feels loan-ly !:

Another humourous extract from tho dreary columns of the " Gazette " : —Messrs Loveday and Heyhoe, of Nelson, have dis solved partnership. Hefeno ! Love's day is brief. What does tho notice mean — that a young couple'a honeymoon is over ?

Oh dear no ; they arc a big firm of drapers —" soft goods " men in Nelson ; and they fetched all. the languishing maidens, who used to sigh " Ilcyhoo**!" and hang on tho euphonious name of ".Lovedi^jj,"
