TABLE TALK.

Sir GECRoif Gbey i« in town. En rcuu for Wellington, I suppose. Yes ; but it is hoped that be will stay to see the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen. Tbe noble lord and lady pass; ttirough here on Monday next, don't they ? ; ■ Vee; and a* 1 hinted, there's a move afoct among tlie Irish and Scotch to-have a lirtJe demonstration and speech making on the occasion.

Bakers' picnic to-day. Gone-fora roll on Lhe grass, instead of giving as hot rolls. i ■ Quito a largo "batch;" but I don'b grudge them their pleasure, for they don'b " oven " (jet a day's outing. Ju*t> .«o; one day a year they may be " loalers " instead of bakers. Another long Cabinet meeting yesterday ' Mdlshiy ready for tho opening scene on TuortcUy nexc. Our member leaves on Sun day inornin». No eliooti/j^' at tho Temperance Hall i«vat> night, The gallanh fiurtfoyno and tho valianO Richard *ho«od didcretkui.'ou 1 ivioro commonly culled " tho white feather I" A inoft enrbiisiajtic (Meeting in favour of chc> those <>peciaJ trieuds of"the working men. Meat* BaJiance, Lundon & Co. Judge Ward consider* the Hospital and Chili Ha bio Aid Act very involved. And ooare lots of Act.'-of Parliament. The lawyer* would have nothing to do if they were all an clear a? to day. Forty eighb women lawyers are now practising «n the United States. Good o'ewt for the cal.'biea—Air Justice Ward lias ruled in the Supremo Court that) it i» not •■» cabman's duly to remove a pas senior's lutrgugo from hi? veliicle. Al> I Well, it- strikes me the judicial de claration won't' iillecb the procedure. Com peMMoii will probably ensure iliafc little attention, and il not a ••tip" will prove infallible. Tho Hamilton footballes are proposing Ibo fOJ'ixialion of a \Vail;ato Ru<jby Associa tion. Vigorous folks afc Hamilton. They had a nico imitation of the Kii»by j^.-uneata re cent Borough Council meeting (.here. That; w.|» While <li.<cii(-t!in<j tbe slaughter liouse qno'tion wasn't it ? Ytw ; their blood got up, and slaughter scorned imminent, but they contented themselves with mich mild aspersions as "liar" and "Judas Iscariot," while one worthy Councillor mildly suggested the application of tnr and feathers 1 bhocking ! They to.ii.ho stop that sort of thing or they'll pet a* bad a name as the House of Commons. To Whiti, the Maori prophet, has= utterred a new oracular remary, which shouhl keep up his reputation for wisdom. Whatwaa ft? When asked why he shuts himself up and refuses to see visitors he said, —"What, is the uso : my life has Rone one." - \ rery true, and us <rood as his former re mark about the potato beinjr cooked.! Poor old fellow, his goose is pretty well cooked, .1 fancy. Dr. Lewis's mare boU.ed in Jervois Road yesterday afternoon, and pitched the doctor and his man out of the trap. ■> • Glad to hear they havorsnffered no worse injury than an attack of '!gjra.yel,rash." • ~ Tho Crown Lands Commissioner of Wel lington is inspecting the tnrdii trunk rail way route, with resrard to the suitability of blocks of land for settlement within oasy distance of the railway. Mr Dargaville seems to be pressing that special settloment scheme of his,for the Kaihu Valley. Bully for Kaihu ! There will be busy and prosperous times there soon. Dunedin City Council mean to congratu late the Queen on her grand and glorious reign. How condescending ! The public meeting in Dunedin didn't get on so well. No ; after considering proposals for the creation of a park, free public library or art gallery, or convalescents' home. Every proposal was rejected, and tho matter left; over lor future consideration. (.'lass-making Keems to pay. At a meet ing of the New Zealand Glass Company ;\t Dunedin the report, recommending a.divi dend of 10 per cent., was adopted.

THAMES NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN- CORRESPONDENT.) Thames, this clay. Col. Fraser, M.E.R., addresses his con stituerits at fcbo Academy ol Music on Friday evening. The discussion at the meeting of the Charitable Aid Board re H. T. Rowe (Secretary and Returning Officer) being re lieved of his duties was of a rather ani mated nature. . Considerable recrimination took place between Messrs McGowan and Greenville, but it was ultimately deckled to open a correspondence with the Hospital trustees, with a view to considering1 the propriety of appointing one secretary to do the work of the three bodies. T)urijigthe past year the expenditure of the Charitable Aid Board has.been £1,300, the principal items beirlj*—:Gßsfe., of. Old Men's Home,;£2l.? ; Orphanage, £475 : .mid charitable aid, £530; The "Hoard has a balance of £70 to \t,» credit. The Debating Suciel.y opens its second scswion to-night. Mr T. W. Glover, temperance lecturer, commences a series of irieatings here on the 30th inst, in connection wil.li the New Zoiilanrl Alliance. The claim of the "Thames District Hos pital and Charitable Aid Boards against the Pinko County Council, amounting: to over £800, will occupy t,ho attention of the Auckland Supre'uo Court nfc its noxt sit tings. The matter will,'however, prohibly be decided by tlio rosulli of the. judgmenb given in the case of tlio Auckland li6:<rd, which comes on for liouriiifr before -the Tlwines ca?e. ~

PAPAKURA GUMFIELDS.

We understand that Mie gumfields at Papa knra, which have been affording employ ment for fivo or six hundred men latoly, are giving out, and only poor wages are now being made. There are still 300 of 400 men left on the field, but they-are commencing to imigrate towards Mauku, where a very payable field is boing worked, and where f>Os por Aveek-can no made easily by good men. There are.already about 250 men on iho'Maukn field, which is very ev tensive, and has an area of fiftacn niilosby twenty. It is much larger than''iho I'apa k'urd Jield. ,"

Afc Mr Dowie's lecture yesterday a slight difference occurred between the-reverend gentleman and about two dozen of his nudi< cnce. Speaking of the sins of the Hesb to which men — especially idle, well-fed men—are addicted, Mr Dowie rather ox .citedly said that the Prince, of Wales war the Prince of Sinners in this respect. & slight uproar occurred, when over 20 per sons left the building, showing their dis approbation strongly meanwh^
