TABLE TALK

Anohier serious fire. Several "salamanders" injured. Honour the Firo Brigade—honour the fight they made! , .

Attempted suicide this morning. Shocking case : sudden attack of insanity. Religious mania, I believe ; first iruits of Dowie's mission.

" Kilt" intoirely ! No ; the poor fellow is not quite Who's talking about the poor fellow ? I mean the '' Kiltie lads " ab the Burns con cerb to-night.

Pipers, dancers, vocalists, and reciters,

But no whisky, haggis, or cakes ! The City Hall will be jammed to the d00r3,1 expect. The Duke's piper will play before the Earl. He is ready for the Fray, sir ! Still wet weather at Wellington—an inch and a half of rain fell in 24 hours. ' - .

Annual meeting of the V.M.C.A. to morrow evening. Mr F. Larkins fills the gap'caused by the unexpected departure of Mr C. C. Mac millan for Sydney. They say that Mr Samuel Vaile will con test tiio Waipa seat afc next election. '/ , Bub perhaps there won't bo any Waipa scab by that time. Don'fc you see the number of members is to be reduced to 71.

I see —by the way of a squint! Take my word for ib, the presenb House isn'b pabriotic enough to carry that out. Bub they have carried ifc-by a good majority too.

Over bhe left! Thab's only bo make a show before bheir constituents. The bill will be nicely doctored before it passes, and you'll find there will be no reduction of members. . .:■ .

Donald and Edenborough's horse went "on the burst" yesterday. Yes; the depraved quadruped made a bee line lor fche United Service Hotel. It musfc have been a " soaker " by the rush it made for bhe bar !

It's a sad sight to find the horses follow ing the example of the superior animal man.

This particular animal has probably been demoralised by drinking orange beer, and I expect to hear ib bursb into song thus :— " I wish I were a brewer's horse, If only for a year, I'd put my head where my tail ought to be And drink up all the beer I" , ■ ~, v

Talking about beer, thab was Mr Allsopp, of brewing fame, ennobled as Baron Hind lip, who died the other day. , ~ Ah, I can give you a good inscription, for his tombstone:—

" Baron llindlip,]ieth here; Although he was both 'ale undstotit, Death stretched him on his bitter bier; In another world he hops about!"

I see ; gone to the land of Spirits; but you stole that epitaph—l've seen ifc some where before.

Working Men's Club to be formed at Freeman's Bay.

Proper move ! There should be a dozen such clubs, without the drink, in a city like Auckland.

A bridge across the Molyneatix River, Otago, costing £0,000, was opened for trafiic on Saturday last.

These Southerners manage still to get a lob of public money spent in their island.

They arc urging tho Goyprnmcnb to go on more rapidly with tho Otago Central Rail way.

The Dunedin Chamber of Commerce ia " busted."

So I observe. For financial reasons, too. Musb be a poor lot of commercial men down there, nob to manage things better than that!

A foot-race from Onehunga to Parnell is ot) the tapis, open to all local amateurs.

That's better practice than boxing ; hopo the project will be carried out.

Te Whangapipi, a Maori prophet of 120 years old, has just died at Rotorua.

Rob! or you're a sbory. He isn't at all likely to be that age. There waa no registration of births among the Maoris of last century.

Nor of deaths either for that matter ! That old fellow has probably " assisted" afc many a cannibal feast.

Yet be was a good old soul; loyal to tho pakeha ; assisted at the opening ceremony of the Rotorua railway lately.

And now he's a " sleeper." The Countess of Aberdeen was dressed ia Irish poplin yesterday. Oh, yes; that is the textile fabric of silk and worsted for which Ireland has acquired a reputation.
