TABLE TALK.

». ■ ■ St. Andrew's Day. " Kob Roy" afc the Opera House. Thames people have a half-holiday. Mayoral elections at Onehunga to-day. " Our only General" talks of resigning. Temporary Sailors' Rest closed from to day. Sailors' Home to be opened to-morrow evening , . "The act; of the devil" outside Parlia ment. Wife of an Auckland M.H.R. arrested to day. Major Dane leaves Sydney for Auckland to-day. Buffalo Bill's wife has applied for a divorce. MrMcArthur, M.P., left Auckland for England yesterday. Iruth has but one way, but that is the right way. The Czar and Bismarck are still bothered about ''that woman." Steel-framed cabs are now being manu factured in England. " Gob 'em by the wool!" The wool-buyers and the auctioneers. The feast of imagination—Having no dinner, but reading a cookery book. Scarlet fever has broken out in the Pon sonby Orphanage. Upper Queen-street property-owners are to meet again to-morrow evening. Shameful waste of public time in the Assembly. Opposition solely to blame. The above is from a Sydney paper, but it is quite applicable to New Zealand. The daughter of Enoch was 380 years old when she married. Courage, ladies ! Next week the Carlton Club will. be opened at Newmarket, with Mr Morrison as manager. The first sale under the new Native Lands Administration Act took place at Auckland Crown Lands Office yesterday. Otaniwha block, containing 1,216 acres, was bought by Mr E. T. Dufaur at the up set price, £304. Germany pays 3 times as much for mili tary purposes as for education, England 4 times, France 11 times, and Russia 39 times as much. Christmas Day this year falling on Sun day, the Victorian railway authorities con template running trains on that day, so as to allow people to get into the country. At Sydney, next January, a big indus trial and Agricultural Exhibition will be held, when prizes to the value of over £4,000 will be awarded. Trust him little who praises all; him less who censures all; and him least who is in different to all. In fact, don't trust any body if you can get ready money. A new firm of Boylan and Lundon.—Mr J. Lundon, of Wanganui, was married to Miss Boylan, of Westport, last week, at St. Mary's Church, Wanganui. England contributes 652,328 gallons and America 921,412 gallons of rum annually towards the Christianisation of Africa. One of the results of retrenchment that affects the Waikato locally is that the services of the message boys in the Hamil ton and Cambridge telegraph offices are to dispensed with after to-day. Mr Phillip Stewart, who was business manager for Dr. Lynn, the conjurer, isagain in Auckland - this time as advance ageuc for Miss Carrie Swain and dramatic com i pany. ' ■"'.; [ , ' ■ Through a recent strike at Bolton, Eng land, a fojeign machinery order, which, would have employed 1,500 hands for six years, has been lost to the town. This facb ought to strike home to the workmen and employers alike. ~ . A bow-legged man was standing before the fire warming himself. A small boy watched him intently for a while, and then he broke out: "I say, mister, you're stand ing too near the fire ; yourVe a-warping." The mystic number seven shows itself in the confirmation services held in the Waikato by Bishop Cowie. At Hamilton there were 7 young men and 17 young girls confirmed at 7 o'clock on the L7oh day of the month ; 47 candidates altogether have been confirmed in this district in the 47th week of 1887. "The Deadly Cobra."—The following conversation took place some time since a<! a Baptist Sunday-w. hool tea-meeting :—■ Lady teacher (to thrt—year-old scholar) —■ "Well, my clear, wh~ would you like?" Three-year-old—" A dam 'jam) tart with a little deuce (juice) in it." A curious case has just been before one of the Bulgarian courts. A. M. Wardaffel brought an action against Prince Ferdinand for payment for services rendered in can vassing to secure the Bulgarian throne for the Prince. The plaintiff was nonsuited.
