TABLE TALK.

* The wolcoma rain ! And there's mora to follow. Rain of blood in Europe booh. All right; keep down the population. Better than Dr. Russell's method, eh ? New South Wabs Parliament opened yesterday. CanadianParliamont dissolved on Monday last. A Bible Society has been formed at Thames. The hardy miners have a weakness for Scriptural language. There has been no rain for four weeks at Wellington. Fresh proceedings will bo taken in tho Onehunga arson case. Will it be arson or a "perjury case" in future? ; Sir George Strahan, lato Governor of Tasmania, has been appointed Governor of Hong Kong. Fifteen thousand letters aro returned to tho dead letter offico in America every day. • : *' ... Three brick shops aro to bo erected on the site of the late tire in Hobson-stroet. Mr Owen, contractor for the Kaihu rail way, arrived from Sydney by tho Roto mahana yesterday. The overhead wires in New York City, if in straight lines," would extend from San Francisco to London. Messrs Seegner, Langguth and Co., of Auckland, have been appointed agents for tho North German Lloyd Company's steamers. Two boxes of white fish ova for Now Zea land, containing one and a-half million, are on their way from San Fnfheisco. Oppressive heat at Nelson yesterday: 137 degrees in the sun and 83 in tha shade. Amos Howe.of Wellington, died suddenly at Foxton yesterday ; supposed cause, apo plexy. Mr W. R. Waddel intends to seek re election as a member of Auckland Harbour Board, Meeting to-night to approve of sketch plans of new St, Benedict's Church, Newton. Mr Dowie, the "faith-healer," has been attacking the ungodly colonial press with great virulence at Dunedin. This is prob ably done for advertising purposes. Mr Levestam, M.H.R., addressed tha electors of Nelson city last night. He intimated his intention of standing ot tha next- election, and received a unanimous vote of thanks and confidence. Mr Polkinghorne, senr., an old Wade settler, got his collarbone broken the other day by falling from a haystack on his farm: at Whangaparoa. He is under treatment at Auckland Hospital. A bill has been introduced in the United , States Congress for the purpose of obtaining : drastic reprisals for the treatment of American fishing vessels by the Canadian Government. ." Jr At Christchurch there is some consterna- :, tion among the people becauso of appre- ' hensiouß that the river Avon is Bilting up. and will cause disastrous floods. The Drainage Board is asking Government as sistance to avert the calamity. " That wicked City of the Plain !—ln the Police Court at Christchurch yesterday, a decree nisi was granted in the case of Mehr- , tens v. Mehrtens and Ellmers, with £250 damages against the co-respondent. At Wade, the other day, an old house * belonging to Mr A. Jack, senr., was acci dentally destroyed by fire, along with a quantity of kauri gum and nearly all Mr Jack's agricultural implements. A cockatoo which had belonged to a Sydney family for 90 years died the other wtek, and its decease is chronicled in. the daily papers. The bird had for soma Htma.A been quite blind and feather-ess. Although ; an excellent talker, its favourite expressson was " Good-bye," and a minute or so prior '■'; to falling from its perch dead, it made use A of the phra.e on hearing the footsteps of a servant, maid. Recently in Ronkhampton, Queensland/ a hearse with a horse annexed ran away. Looking through the glass side one could see the coffin bumping up and down at a terrible rate. This is the sort of thing the • local prints describe as "great fan.", A prize fight between a man with one arm and another with one eye took place near Coshiugton, in Leicestershire.. The fight lasted one hour ( and twenty minutes. The one eyed man had his eye so damaged . that he could not see, and the one-armed man who was also severely punished, was*l declared the victor. The stakes were £10.7 .At the inquest on the body of R. Tt.: Bews, drowned while bathing at Mangere, a verdict of accidental death was returned with a rider exonerating the companions of deceased from blame. J. W, Hamley, occupier of premises in Wellington that were burned down two ■ months ago, is charged with setting fire to the building, with intent to defraud the Liverpool, London, and Globe Company of ■■■ £200. ,_.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

.. ♦ . The Government are still casting around to discover items of expenditure that. may. be lopped off in order'to bring down re duced Estimates next year. Hitherto it has been the custom to allow officers " of the Postal and Telegraphic Depart ments small commissions on various classes of fees which are collected from the public for other depart ments. In some country districts these fees amounted to a , substantial1 sum, and this was -ao, doubt taken into consideration when the salaries of officers at those places were fixed. It has now been decided that in future no officers shall be allowed any commissions except in regard |o work done for the Government Insurance ■Department, and a circular to this effect has been issued. The. post and telegraph officers will still have to do the work and take the responsibility, but will get no • extra pßy. The Scripture Gift Association have taken a" new departure in connection with the im parting of religious teaching to the young, for which object the Society was formed. They have opened up four schools for the reception of children between the ages of four and seven years, who will receive thne and a-half hours' instruction daily of a character suitable to their years, and special f'tention is to be given to religious instiuction, includ ing the singing of hymns, repetition of the Lot d's Pray er, the Ten Commandments &c. The charge is to be only threepence p_r wot k, and the Association propose that one penny a week of this amount shall be contributed by the Society for a limited number of pupils, whose circum stances may seem to warrant it. A school established on these principles at the Thames has proved very successful maintaining an average of thirty-six little ones. The classes which opened in Auokland on the 10th instant had an aggregate attendance of 87. Of course the system cannot be seli-gupDO.ting, and con trihutione are invited by the Association for its maintenance. Regarding tho iron-woft for the Waitati Bridge on the Central Trunk Line being manufactured in the coloDy.'the Wellington ''Post" says:-" Mr Rich ardson has always expressed his desire to encourage local industry where pos- Bible. The Waitati makes the fifth I arge iron bridge the Minister is having manufactut ed in the colony. Pour of these are now in progress of erection in the South Island, and tenders are invited for the one acrpes the Waitati Gorge." Upwards of 500 tons of iron will be required for the last named structure, and some other bridge corftracts, for which tenders are now out making in all 3,250 tons of iion required for the contracts already let or advertised. The. Waitati-bridge will reauire abont 400 tons of iron. It is very much on the pattern of the Wingate viaduct now in course of erection on the Otago central linp and is of four spans, each 10 feet lons, the height from the bed of the creek to the rail level being 120 feot. The whole ot th 6 pieisand gi.ders will be of iron, the abut ments at each end and also the base for the piers being of concrete. The bridges in the >Manawatu Gorge will be of like pattern to the, Waitati, but very much smaller. So far, the experiment of having the bridges m!r? ■_ ~-!a colony has prayed eminently "Mjjeessfal," ■ ~-;:,'",: a,. ; ,■ •■, ~ ■ ,i .':" :'■ .;■.;■■■> '■ ■■ ■■ ' ■' ' ' '■'■:■'■" '' ■' '"'
