AUCKLAND,, N.Z,/ THURSDAY, APRIL .28, 1887.

FRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Epidemic of fires. *.:'.' Jubilee illuminations, cli ? No ; a serious loss to the Colony. . £40,000 thrown to the winds of Welling ton.

Grand new building that; Post Office, I believe.

Yes ; one of the finest in the Colony.

Carpenter's shop destroyed at the Lunatic Asylum.

Criminy ! You don't say so ? Yes; and there was another fire at Par] nell Rise about 10 o'clock.

Besides the false alarm at two this morn ing : —Suppositious fire in Edinburgh street.

" Fiery fight" at the Agricultural Hall last njglit. Good to see that Taylor got "hot pota toes " from Murphy. Oh, " It takes nine Taylors to make a man" equal to our Auckland pugilists ! You'd better nob say thab in presence of Dick Matthews.

Autistic Jubilee. The Art Exhibition to be opened free to the public for three days. Somebody suggests thab a local artist should paint a series of Terrace views, to bo purchased and placed in the Art Gallery as a Jubilee memento.

Ah, that's an " artful " proposition. Another suggestion is that there should bo a gathering of all Europeans who have been 50 years in the colony. That would be an "old identity " jubilee, and not that of Queen Victoria.

At Dunedin, a public meeting of citizens have agreed upon a public park as the best Jubilee memorial.

Glad to find thab tho poorhouse idea got but small support ; ancl hope our Auckland citizens will come to an equally sensible decision to-morrow night. There are 169 prisoners in Mount Eden Gaol; would it not be a relief to the country in these hard times to give them their liberty as a Jubilee gift ? Not a bit: they would simply swell the ranks of the " unemployed "' or take to criminal practices- again. Ex-Mayor Young of Sydney is back in Auckland after a tour of the North Island.

I hear that he has been spying the land, and buying* up a lot of eligible property ab low prices. Old Captain Kell has passed over to tho great majority.

Yes ; I should think his life would be well worth writing, as he has been hero sinco 1839.

That was a sad suicide at Ponsonby; evidently a case of mental aberration.

The Minister of Defence completed ar rangements for handing over the civil polico to the Department of the Minister of Jus tice.

In future, then, we may expect there will be some slight connection between law and justice.

New Masonic Lodge to be opened at Te Awamutu to-night. Many visitors from Auckland expected. They should ask Mr Dowie to address them on " drunkards and gluttons !" North Shore Lawn Tennis Club concert in the Devonport Hall to-night. Oh, yes ! — capital music, both vocal and instrumental, amateur theatricals from Dr. Dawson's troupe of Thespian artists. Just so. By-the-way, what a lot of Erivate streets there are in the borough of 'evonport! Indeed. How is that ?

Well, it results, I suppose, from rapid progress, and the want of proper authority to compel owners of properties in cutting them up for sale to form and dedicate the thoroughfares they lay off.

There must be some queer complications

in consequence.

You're about right. One property owner is in the anomalous question of having sold all the building sections on both sides of a street that he laid off, and yet the owner ship of the street itself remains still in his own hands.

Whew! Tho Council should take ib over.

They are not quite so verdant, mon cher— they want it properly formed and metalled first.

Then there is another street in which the property-owners have had couveyed to them frontages as far as the centre of the road— on either side—leaving nothing for tho public. Funnier, still! Anything more ? Rather ! Some time ago a property owner cut up his property in building sections with a3O feet road between. The local authorities.refused to accept such a warm alley, but the public bought up the sec tions all the same.

Then the public, like the law, must be a hass ! ,■*'.•

Eunriy coincidence in connection with that attempt in Bulgaria to blow up General Popoff with dynaniite: -

What was that ?

Why, according to his name he should have "popped off" ; but he didn't. Can't be much in a name after all.

Still, I believe if he had gone, there would have been a "goneral pop-off "—of indigna tion or something of tho kind. Well, you see, in the region where the General was he was safe, and' could say— " So fire (Sofia) away, me* honey !"

Councillor Basstian fined £5 and costs for assaulting a brother councillor at Invercar gill* Glad to see that the Bench chai*acterised the assault as an outrage upon society, and upon men engaged in the performance of public duty. Oh ! Wait till you here the other side of the story. There is another side, of cou se, and a public movement is on foot to pay tho fine and., re-elect Basstian to the Council.'-' ', '"'"." v'
