PRICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Sm F. Wiiitakeh joins the Ministiy. The " New Zealand Xestor" , is Attorney- General. Parliament met this afternoon, and simply adjourned. The Governor's speech is expected a zorfc nighb lience. "Our only General" has tendered Ins resignation.

Going downstairs when preparations fox , ejectment were in progress. The General is a patriot; offers to work for nothing , ; can't add one whit more to that! '

A lecture on."The German Annexation of New Zealand " is promised for Monday evening next. The milk of human kindness.—The Prison Gate Brigade Home makes an appeal for a supply of milk gratis. Sale of Matamataharakeke block has been postponed till the 26th inst. It is supposed that the object is to allow intending purchasers sufficient time to spell out the name !

The talented Greenwood Family, prior to starting for the South, will give one more farewell concert. Steamer Tekapo has sailed from Welling ton with 250 horses for Calcutta. A petition in favour of Bible-reading in schools has beon signed by 3,000 persons ab Dunedin. : • Sir John Hall leaves this week for Sydney, where his daughter lies extremely ill. Gold ! gold ! Still'excitement on the sub ject of the " yellow dirt." •Saxon Gold-mining Company pay-a divi dend of 6d per share at. the office-of the Secretary on Friday ne.Vt:.- At Hamilton they talk of forming a syn dicate to purchase and work a portion of the auriferous lands at Waifcoa. Others say there is no need to go so far from home, as a man working in a drain ab Hamilton turned up a gold deposit with his shovel. Waikato folks generally are very cheer ful, and the farmers say, "If the gold diggers go to Waitoa, we shall be able to feed them." ■ . - Grey mouth Harbour Board have agreed to buy the tug Westland for £9,500, and they are going to build a cattle wharf and yard. It is proposed to hold a Municipal Con ference at Wellington during the present session of Parliament. Mr David Goldie will probably represent Auckland City Council.

A few years ago it was stated that thfc Hawaiian sugar crop would never exceed 60,000 tons. But it crept up to 80/000 tons, and then last year to 110,000 tons. The crop of 1888 will, it is confidently ex pected, be even still larger, as new lands have been brought under cultivation, and the growing cane presents an excellent ap pearance.

The thirty-second demonstration of the Eight Hours Societies took place in Sydney on October 3rd. There were about 10,000 people in George-street during the progress of the procession.

Miss Laura ''-Roberts and Miss Bella Per man, members of the Mohawk Minstrels, had a crowded house on the occasion of their benefit at "the Theatre Royal, Welling ton, last night. The boat in which Hear.n will compete in the great sculliuov race in Sydney will probably be built at Wellington. Madame lima de Mu'i-sfra',' the celebrated cantatrice, is reported to be contemplating another tour in Australia:

Monday next will be observed as a holi day at all the offices in the colony of the Bank of New Zealand, that day being the 26th anniversary of the opening of the Bank.

The Bay of Plenty " Times " says :—Mr Gill has gone to Auckland, and we hear he intends taking advice as to the validity of Mr Kelly's election, on the groitnd that the land for which Mr Kelly is on the roll as a freeholder does not belong to him. This forenoon, after requiem mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral, the funeral of the late Mrs Bridget Kelly, of Onehunga,. took place. Deceased was 76 years of age, and her two daughters are inmates of the Con vent of the Sisters of Mercy. A child named Hubble, two and a half years old, daughter of a telephone lineman, met her death on Sunday morning under somewhat peculiar circumstances. She was amusing herself with a swing in the garden, when by some means the x - ope got round her neck, and before assistance arrived she was strangled. Bufesia is very far behind most civilised nations in the care of children and in the preservation of life. Statistics show that 60 per cent, of all the children die. under the age of 5 years. The average deration of life in Russia is only 26 years, which is much below the average iii the western countries of Europe and in the United States. . ; ;■, , : , ■■ .... « ■. - -.r
