PRICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Parliamentary nominations to-morrow. Sir George Grey is still unwell. Two lectures in Auckland to-night. Also a boxing bout at the Agricultural Hall.

Dr. Sfcuarfc, Bishop of Waiapu, is in town, ihe shipping trade of Wellington is de creasing. The " Post" says it is increasing, but th« Harbour Boarx3 knows better. Sunday traders in Auckland are threat ened with " the utmost rigor of the law." B I^. % L -f'* >' eh arm V is "spoiling for a nglit. _ lifiw, Bismarck, noblesse oblige ! Kussia would make a grab at Bulgaria if the gan-y e was wor fch the candle. As Russians are fond of eatino- tallow fat, ' they are likely to stick to the candle ! J- .ie Papal delegate is said to have de nounced the Irish priests for their Home i K-ale proclivities. Ha ! The Tories always like to be " on the side of the angels," but their Vatican allowance may cause trouble. Be content with your lot, especially if it's a lot of money. A jockey club has been formed at Coro mandel under the A.E..C. rules. People call it " putting up.'? at an hotel, because there is so much that they have to put up with. Sir William Fitzherberfc, who is on board fine mail steamer, is expected to resume the duties of Speaker of the Legislative Council at once. A merchant who advertised for " a man to take charge of the glove department" re ceived a call from a professor of boxing. The police will probably look after the glove department" at 'the Agricultural Hall to-night. At Dunedin, the Benevolent trustees spent no less than £661 in outdoor relief last month, or £137 more than the previous one.

During the iasfc eight months, Wellington shipping shows a decrease of 184 vessels and 8,472 tous as compared with the same period of 18!36. "A good maa never dies," says a philo sopher. If that is the case we shan't waste any more money on physicians. The red deetr in Wairarapa district are rapidly decreasing, and are supposed *jt> be shifting their habitat. ' '4 The death rates in the four chief cities of New Zealand last month were as v nder •— Auckland 0*92 per 1,000 ; Wellington 1-45 • Christchurch 115 ; Dunedin 1\5?,." ' The woman whose favourite iiy^nn is »x would not live always," has s, pen t £230 for patent medicines during the last ten years. - ¥i Justice Gmies stages that the utmost indifference is felt in England as regards ue£s S> mOa> and NewG»inea The Registrar-General estimates the population of the four principal cities of this f ol onJ be =r^uckland 35,965 ; Welling. ton, 26,956; Christchurch, 15,684 ; Dunedin, It is reported by the Superintendent of tne London Mint that the purchase of dirt) "Kto gold costs no less than £311 per 1,000,000 sovereigns, and£334 per 2,000,000 halt-sovereigns. Alarming prophecy of bad weather before midnight; but as Captain Edwin and the Clerk of the Weather are not in sympathetic accord, probably Pithing will come of it. The copper mines of Japan are being developed and extended. It will not be long before, wi,fch cheap labour, modern machinery and. smelting apparatus, and skilful supervision, the product of these mines, winch, are o f immense value, will exercise an. appreciable influence on tho world's crjpp er markets. Discr.ssing the pertinacity of the French nation in its republic belief, the London " T.imes " says :—" Had not Republicanism b'^en its creed of conviction, its representa tives would have disenchanted it into Bourbonism or Imperialism long since. Nothing at present but a national disaster is likely to alter its political complexion." The foundation-stone of a free library for Edinburgh has been laid by Andrew Carn egie, therich American, who has contributed £50,000 towards the expenses. The site is at George the Fourth Bridge, and costi £12,000. The building is to be erected for' £30,000 ; so that £8,000 will remain to buy: books.
