TABLE TALK.

I .-» Spring at last. ! Members gone South. Euro))ean war still threatening. Lord Shaftesbury is in Auckland. Heavy snowstorm at Canterbury. Telegraph wires down and trains stopped. The retrograde result of the elections is Wow explained. It's all owing to the " backward spring." i Hope that trade will now take a forward i spring. Tho revival of trade in Great Britain is most marked. ►Anniversary soiree ab Pitt-street Wes letyan Church to-night. Mr Justice Johnston, of Christchurch. is suffering from illness. . . Sydney Taiwhanga, M.H.R., says he will address the House of Representatives in English. Other two native members speak English as well, bub nob as confidently as Tai whanga. The New Zealand Alliance is blamed with securing tbe election of a brewer aa M.H.R. for Tauranga. How so ? Split the votes by running two' candidates pledged to support the Alliance programme. Cotton manufacturing lias reached great proportions in Russia, the annual imports of raw. cotton being about £8,600,000 in value. Traveller (rushing into station): "Is the train late?" Porter : "No, you are." I The claim of Caswell for compensation for dismissal is to be brought before Parlia ment. Mr Spence, of Dunedin, has joined tho directorate of the Colonial Bank. The manufacture of patent enamelled butter boxes is nourishing i n Auckland. Mr Pond, the patentee, will ship a thou-' sand of these improved boxes to Sydney to night. Royal visitor! "King" Tawhiao is " taking the waters "at Te Aroha. As he wears the blue ribbon, he can take nothing stronger. Age should always precede beauty, there fore let the old folks retire before 10 o'clock, i Ab the end of last week there were 164 males and 24 females in Mount Eden Gaol. The prison chaplain, in a fit of abstrac tion, began a reverent address to the con victs thus :—'" lam glad, my friends, to see so many of you here this morning. Passengers by the sis. Mararoa will re main on board during that vessel's deten tion in quarantine ab Melbourne. The result of the withdrawal of money grant by Northumberland Miners' Union' will probably be that Messrs Burt and Fen wick will retire from the English Parlia ment. Mr Bryce says that, although forfhis friends' sake he would have preferred to win the election, personally ho is glad of a relief from the strain of Parliamentary duties and' political life. -, Worth Knowing.—-When you have a _)ew coat made for house wear, what is the best course to pursue in order to make it last? Why, never to wear it out. Although a sum of £200 was raised ab Hokitika to contest the election on petition, Mr Bevan, the defeated candidate, has de-, clined to take any step. There are several cases of scarlet fever in Kaino and district, and the Sunday Schools have been closeel for the present. The public school is also closed until the 17th inst., from the same cause. A certain doctor having heard a village poet repeat some verses on a scolding wife, was so delighted with them as to request a copy. "There is no necessity for that,"; said the poet. " You have got tlie original." t . Ayoub Khan and party escaped from Teheran on 14th August. The prevalent opinion is that he has gone northwards with the intention of taking a steamer on the Caspian Sea, and is now iv Russian1 territory.
