TABLE TALK.

"Sweet Chiming. Bells" still ringing at the Opera House. ' ■ ' , Season closes on Saturday night;' ■_ Have you heard tho "localised" songa that are being sung this week ? Who hasn't? It's rare fun to hear the brothers Lynch sing— ■ . i • "Wait till the ladies vote— (Far. faraway!) Then the men will catch it hot r <•■—■■ (Far, far away!) Volunteers! prepare for war! . Mistress Mary, M.H.R., Will soon shift the range afar— - '. Far, faraway!" i Yes; 'just wait till the ladies vote; I] guess that consummation is still far away ! I " Sir," said a local M.H.R. in the Houso tho othor day, "Sir, I am opposed to women's rights, for woman is always a snare and a delusion." "Men are always, getting caught by snares, and always huggi.ni/ delusions," interpolated a rival mem ber, and the Auckland " masher " subsided !. The London Circus still has crowds nightly. For a change of amusement we shall soon have the " Mikado " Opera Company. , Sing in the minor mode—" Tommy Dodd —Tommy Dodd 1" For why ? the Government have decided that there shall be no special remission of prisoners' sentences in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. Lord Aberdeen arrives in Auckland to morrow. , The Budget discussion is to commence: qn Friday—and finish—when? . Don't know when; but I can toll you "how;" in the defeat of the Government. Mr Mitchelson wires to a friend in Auckland that there is "no chance of the Tariff Bill passing." \ Then of course the Government will! resign ? , : I Of course they ought to; but what they i will do i 3 another matter ! I Members have worked the oracle nicely j with tho Representation Bill—just as you said. They have restored the number of members to the old figure. Oh, there's no hope of retrenchment from the present crew. " Turn the rascals out!" Arrangements are already being mado for next year's Rifle Association shooting ab Oamaru. That's shooting at a long range. - • - . Head nurse and under nurse are wanted for Waikato Hospital. The "Escaped Nun" was in -Adelaide aft-, latest accounts. Lord Aberdeen gives his patronage to tho' farewell, performance by the Bellringers oa j Saturday evening next. ■ i On Monday hisiLordship is to be taken | round our noble harbour by ;the Mayor and Chairman of the Harbour Board. , And I suppose thero will be some sort of farewell demonstration got up when he' eaves by tho mail steamer. A man named Sewell baa been arrested; at Wellington for smuggling tobacco from: tho lonic, and ordered to pay £2 ss, treblo tho amount of duty and costs. It's horrible to think that spme of our Auckland boys may be similarly fined for smuggling an orange or two from the Janet Nicoll. ' Over 2,000 signatures have been got to tho petition against' tiio "closing of Mount Eden rifle range. Thero aro only 52 representatives in the South Australian Assembly. Quite enough, too ; and the same number or less would do for New Zealand. Of the 52 who sit in Adelaide, 22 were born in England, 13 in Australia, S in Scot land, 4 in Germany, and one each in Ire land, Wales, America, Gibraltar, and St. j Vincent. Rather a niixed lot, I should say; but as j the lawyers predominate, their debating I power shbuld be great. Charles Burdett, an inmato of the Whau Lunatic Asylum, escaped from that institu tion yesterday afternoon. Iv the Appeal Court at Wellington the. case Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, v. Waipa County Council is proceed ing. Honest shopkeepers ,at Onehunga and Otahuhu. . The gambolling inspector of - weights and measures couldn't get a con viction there. Well, he has some thought of prosecut ing an Onehunga baker whoso loaves were shockingly over-weight. . Of course ; it's very unfair to the op position bakers who give just weight. Rotorua water supply is now laid on. Thero is to be a Demonstration there on, Queen's Birthday over the opening of. the' now public school! Tea from Fiji—s,ooolbs landed from the Arawata. Of course our "protective" Government will at once step in and impose a duty on' tea imported from Fiji. Hope not; in fact they won't get'the chance, for thoy will be kicked out of | office. ('■■*• -. ' Glad to think so ; for Mr Mason, of Alpha • estate, Fiji, has 250>acres under tea, and! will turn out over 100,0001bs annually. \ The bootmakers' strike in Wellington is ! settled. . ,:. J Victory for the workmen ; increase of! wages obtained ; they all resale work to- j day on the higher tariff. "„'""..'.-, The terms of settlement consist mainly in an increase in tho price paid to the operatives for women's boots by Id-per pair in cases where the toe-caps are attached, j and fixing .'the length of the leg at eight | inches. . : Jubilee precaution. At Christchurch the I Fire Insurance Association have passed a | resolution declining liability in respect to j the buildings' in which fireworks are kept; for sale. '. j The ten - roomed house of Mr W. B. ! Edwards, solicitor, Wellington, was totally ' destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon • I Hard knock for the Insurance Companies. The building was insured in the New Zea land Office for £1,350 ; reinsured in South British, £675; furniture, £1,000, South' British; reinsured Colonial, National, and Standard, £300. "' ,
