TABLE TALK.

Frisky Janet Nicoll in from the Islands. Good news; oranges should be cheap. Nothing fresh about the frisky Wesleyans in Tonga ?

Ob, no; the Janet Nicoll left Tonga on 28th February.

Queen Victoria has left London for Cannes.

So I see. What takes her there ? Oh. it's " the thing " to go there for health occasionally.

Let's hope there won't be another earth quake to spoil the Jubilee celebration t Iskander Khan demands the surrender of Herat.

Who is this modern representative of Genghis Ehan, can you tell me ?

Yes, I. Khan. He is related to the Ameer of Afghanistan, and baa a strong leaning towards Russia.

Is he the man, who served in the Russian army some yeats ago and took part in cap turing Samarcand ?

The same. He is getting elderly now, but may yet make a considerable noise in the world

The Governor has left Dnnedin in a hurry.

' Yes ; the Hinemoa was wanted to carry members of the House of Representatives, and Bis Excellency had to cat short his etay. The Dunedin folks are awfully dis appointed. I should think so I Could he not have kept his engagements, and taken passage North in one of the Union Co.'s steamers ?

You wouldn't have the poor man pay those extortionate travelling expenses from the miserable pittance of £7,500 a year allowed him by a parsimonious colony ! The Faith Healer is coming to Auckland.

Yes; opens in the Choral Hall on Sun day week. Are you going to get healed ? I'm not diseased; but I've a pair of boots I would like to got soled, as well as heeled.

Go along 1 You deserve to be "sold" after such an atrocious pun.

The North Cornish Mining Company, Daylesford, Victoria, has been withdrawn from the London market.

,_Afc. t thought the mining "boom" if •"._ come to an end.

Yes ; and the aggravating thing is that New Zealand has got no benefit from the "boom.""

As usual, she was too late. Boucioault was right. We have a splendid "show," but don't know how to run it. _ That's so ; our footballers lost money by their triumphant trip to Sydney. Yes; and in consequence Wellington Rugby Union has resolved "That it is in expedient for a New Zealand team to visit New South Wales for two years at least." More protection for "natives." . Why, who's been hurting the Maoris now ?

Who said anything about the Maoris ? I mean the oysters, which are to be protected in Coromandel district for another year. ,

Yes; protected for a time so that they may be tit for gobbling up by.-and bye. Good news for dull times. " Free drinks ' to-night ! " Hands all round," &c." Where's that? _. Didn't you see the announcement? Thirsty souls are to bo supplied free of cost to-night, with a cup of tea, coffee, or cocoa at the opening, of the Coffee Company's rooms, in Karangahape Road. All loungers about the "pubs." will doubtless transfer their patronage for at least once to the opposition shop.

Another little mistake in your remarks ; rather rough on the Equitable Insurance Company.

What was that ? About increasing their capital by " forced calls " ?

You've hit 'it. " Forced" was a tele graphic blunder for "four," and the calls are the ordinary sort, and have no con nection whatever with losses by fire. Glad to hear it. Now I think of it, the Equitable don't appear bo often in the list" of losers by fire as come other com panies. I

An increased area of wheat is to be sown in Tauranga district this season. That's right. The Bay of Plenty used to produce splendid crops of cereals, which commanded high prices. ' - Hope it will keep up its reputation as a land of plenty. r .. „'_•'"

No fear j the volcanic dust from Tara wera will give crops of greater richness than ■ever.":.:' .: •

0 The trade opened up with Rio de Janeiro, should prove profitable to New Zealand;

Yes ; especially for dairy products Why, I see that, at Rio, milk costs 5s a gallon. What a pity we can't send them frozen milk !I ~ ..........,' '.-.-'

The information against James O'Shea at Wellington, was dismisaed yesterday, the prosecution not putting; in an appear ance. . | •_'.: , "'',. l '.' ' '. ,;."' O'Sheaj! That's the well-to-do: merchant, twell-Ttnown in Auckland, against whom a criminal charge Was 'preferred. Yes; I suppose it was a trumpery charge brought to serve some purpose. . .There are are too many of those cases in the colony of criminal charges being brought .and then dropped. ■ ■•■

Isn't that a caution to traders repotted from <"_rißtchurch'

You mean the bankrupt Hermann, sen t a month to, gaol for not having kept proper books. A man wants to mind his p's and q's these times, T tell you.'' '•".■' V „ .Particularly his p's, if he doesn't want to get "beans!' > ; ; l

t .', Planarian worms', are the latest dis covery in the city water ; but Mr Cheese man says they are " quite harmless." ; ' '. Indeed, are they ? That's one of them on exhibition at the Star Office, nine inches long, and: of loathsome appearance. ' •■ ' ■'•" Mr fond recommends placing trout and other "fleh in the pond, so that the worms, 4.C., may be kept in check. x IS An applicant for charity -is to ■be pro ses uted-in Dunedin. .'■■'. .■ ---' -"Ha-'it come to that, then, that poverty is a crime ?! »' "' } >■' ,;

Oh, no; this fellow, begged for money to bury his wife, while he was making 7a 6'd a day,.and had other money coming to him. j The mean skunk! He deserves to be mads-an example of. ' Jf odqubfr j i but this charitable relief is all wrong.*' It tends to degrade people and make them professional paupers. An " unemployed " grievance in connec tion with the Eree Public Library. Some of the elderly menV out of work think they might be employed as care takers in the building, and to keep a sharp lookout for pilferers.

A good idea; better give them useful work to do than have them drawing rations in idlenesss.

; Annie Sarah Moore, a bankrupt, ex amined, on oath by the Official Assignee yesterday; said that a little more than three years ago-sbe came to the colony with five children, leaving her husband in Dublin She brought £500 with her, and started a hatter's business in Pitt-street. For three or four months she carried on a cash business, and after that time she had no difficulty iin.obtaining credit. In September, 1884 . a branch shop was opened in Queen-street her principal aim being to find employment for her three-sons over 18 years of age The Queen-street shop was stocked entirely on credit, and for four or five month-s thing went on satislacfcorily. After that, the Queen street, shop stemed to injuriously -fleet the business of the Pittst.eet shop, and both places suffered from the prevalent depression. Her capital disap peared, and 9 months ago she was refused further credit. She found herself able to pay 12s 6d in the £, and therefore reeolv.d to carry on. This she did under great diffi culties, and finally, as her creditors refused a composition of 7s Gd in the £ she filed Her liabilities amount to £831 lis,- of which £60 is due for wages, and £34 for rent. Her only assets were stock in trade worth £140, and furniture valued at £31 13 8 6a Her household expenses for the six ef then had not exceeded ££2 10s per week. A w.rk interesting to ratepayers, now that the water supply question is before all others the subiect of the day, has just been completed at Parnell. Mr Littlejohn, tha turncock of that borough, has just accom plished, at a nominal cost, the lowering of a -0 chain length of eight inch water pipee to some five feet below the original level necessitated by the cutting down of a road. It baa therefoie been proved beyond doubt that it is not necessary to go to the great expense of laying water supply pipes a t the .future level of the'street, We may add no leak or harm was caused in the work alluded to, although the pipes were in use and loU
