TABLE TALK.

» ' ;..; Sir George Grey is at InvercargilL 1 " Fedora " one night more at the Opera House. Industrial Exhibition closes lOfch Sepbenv ber. Two political addresses to-night. I A man always thinks he's on the wrong tack when he sits down on one. Funny situation. The Opposition papers declare that the Premier is a true prophet. Sir Robert, though flattered no doubt, denies the soft impeachment. The tea kettle is said to be the only, singer that never gets a cold. Thames Gas Company's dividend will bo payable on Tuesday next ab Mr F. A. White's office. We have now heard the last of " Karty O'Rarry." And yet there doesn's seem to be a "Jubilee " over it. Richard Davies, a cook, at Castle Point, Wellington, has disappeared rather mys teriously. A poor man who, less than one year ago, had only one suit of clothes, went into tho newspaper business and now has eight suits; Seven of them arc for libel. Caution against political excitement. A man had a fib in a candidate's committee room at Christclrurclr on Monday and died yesterday afternoon. Fear of the cholera led to a general clean ing of the streets of Santiago in tho Argen tine Confederation, and 16,000 cartload's of refuse were removed. Major Payne is to be banquetfced by the A Battery of Artillery to-morrow (Thurs cjay) evening. Oh, yes ; got a ticket, and wondered if it was an invitation to a funeral. Why on earth should they take such a sombre way of expressing their joy ? Only the skeleton at the feast, that's all ; " sweet is pleasure after Payne." It is an old story, but worth remember ing — the Quaker's consideration for his better half: "All the world is queer, ex cepting thee and me, and thee is a little queer." Oamaru Volunteers are opposed to the new rifle being introduced ab the forth coming Rifle. Association meeting to the exclusion of all others. Quite natural that they should. The meeting is to be held at Oamaru, and ib is feared the turn-out will be small if only the new rifle is allowed to be used. Mr James Reston, late chief gaoler ab Lyttelton, is dead, aged 72 years. Castor oil is easy to give but awfully hard to take. So is advice. While a compositor was setting up an advertisement for a losb canary a few days ago, the bird flew in at the oflice window. This shows the value of advertising. An ingenious correspondent claims that the words, "Representative Governments of New Zealand," naturally branspose inbo this legend:— " Men never senb pigs to fawn, lose, and retrieve." Not quite accurate, when you come to compare the letbers, but a near enough shot. at the truth. Cotton and Scotb started their twenty four hours' walking match ab 10 o'clock; lasb night. The Frozen Meab Company shows a big loss ; bub tho concern is nob yeb a " frost." Good times will bring prosperity. Men are being paid off the Midland Railway Works. Is Canterbury to " bust" after all ? Frederick Cooper is charged at Christ church with stealing two cows. He drove the animals out of the owner's paddock straighb fo the sale yards, bub was arrested before he got off.
