PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Kindergarten triumphant. The fire fiend on the rampao-e. Fatal fires at Onehunga and Paris. Intelligent verdict in the case of the

Library fire. Perhaps ; rather rough on the " incendi ary rat."

Very quiet political meeting at the Tem perance Hall last night. Hodgious comparisons between different Auckland members. : " The Octoroon " at the Opera House to- ' morrow night. ■■'■/< Mr A B. Donald, of Donald and Eden- borough, has left for Sydney. And means to ■ come back with the new: Island steamer Richmond. "Thauma" will be removed to-day to: more public premises in Queen-street, nexo i luttles photographic studio. : The annual statement of Onehun^a j borough accounts was adopted at a special meeting of the Council held on Tuesdar evening last. Toujours le jubilee. The Government proclaim three public holidays in New -Zealand-the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of June. _ You mean for the pets of the Civil Ser vice ; the general public can't afford to havo a three days' spree ! Most Suiterable Jubilee idea ! The Mayor of Newmarket means to propose that the Council should erect a £300 statue of tho Queen on the "top of the front corner of the proposed Jubilee Hotel at Newmarket, with a suitable inscription underneath." Thames Debating Society has been de bating the question—" Does Mining Pay?" And I suppose they came to the°conclu- Hion that it does-on Auckland Stock Ex change, but not in the mines at Thames ! Mr Anderson, formerly of Auckland Grammar School, is now Inspector of, Schools in British Columbia.

Aucklanders seem to get on well every where ; must be rather a superior lot, don'o you know !

An old man named Patrick Pierce, who had been an inmate of the Refuge, but had wandered away from that institution, was arrested at Onehunga by Sergeant Greene last night, and the old fellow being mani festly of unsound mind, was committed to the Lunatic Asylum. Should say so ; anybody is " manifestly " insane who leaves a good home in thesa hard times, and such cold weather. " The trade " are alarmed !

They think that Mr Fisher's bill to pre. vent brewers owning or having any interesb in hotels is not required, and if it becomes law great loss and inconvenience will result) to a large section of the community. Per contra, the correspondent of a Thames paper says that the hotels owned by brewers there are a disgrace to the town, and con- j trasts their condition to a privately-owned "pub." The Samoan land dispute has been laid1 before " eminent counsel" in London. And these gentlemen have given opinions to the effect that the Court of Fiji and tho High Commissioners' Court had undoubted i jurisdiction over the matter in dispute,: and that the judgment of the Frji Courb should therefore be upheld by the Privy Council.

Midland Railway trouble. Why, I thought all that matter was going on swimmingly. What's the matter now ?' Some " tiddleywinking " been goino- on as to the proprietory rights of the (fom pany in gold-bearing lands ceded, to them, and they refuse to sign the contract. Meantime the contracts in hand are being carried on under Government guarantee That railway will prove to be a pretty kett!6 of fish yet.

You're right! The Company want some fresh legislation and the GoVernment find it impossible to . grant their report "ab present."

Should think so. ' There will be some re velations of a startling kind about those railway negotiations some day. Did you read that article in the Stau Supplement last week on "The Senses as Affected by Sex 1"

Yes ; rather curious conclusion — thab women were deficient in the sense of smell; but what about it ?

Why, a correspondent, sighing herself "Sairey," writes about it as follows :— " There is one other sense you have entirely omitted or ignored where woman passes in a most overwhelming degree beyond man, and that you must admit, viz., the sense of keeping their hair on the top of then- heads, and not turning into idiotic bald heads."

Literally, perhaps, she's right; bufmeta phorically, I fear she can't " keep her hair on !'

■ Question if she's literally right; for'so far as my observation goes, nearly all old maids are completely bald.

And most married men too ! That's one for " Sairey "—Who is it that makes the men bald ?

Oh, balderdash !
