TABLE TALK.

" Fedora " ab the Opera House. An exciting and sensational play. The Czar's coat riddled; himself unhurt* " There's a divinity doth hedge a king." - Yah ! The Czar has " hedged " by bolting off to Denmarl-:. Sir Robert Stout anticipates defeat in, the pending elections. ■ Sir Julius Vogel is more sanguine; but which has the truer prophetic instinct ? Mr Gladstone defeated in the House 01. Commons on the Irish question. -•*. Is the Circassian played out ?" A Ching Chong Chinaman had a fight with an Anglo-Saxon in Queen-street. Each had to pay £1 for their sport. Parcel Pos. regulations have been gazetted. Auckland Chamberof Commerce is favour able to introduction of the beet-sugar in dustry in Waikato district. Mr Brodie Hoare, writing of Auckland, says that "Earthquakes occasionally occur." Who told him that hoary crammer _ H.M.S. Opal suddenly ordered to Samoa $ gone to look after the German squftdron in their •«annexation "game, no doubt. A million and a-half of Snider cartridge-} have just Been received at Wellington. Ia New Zealand going to war ? Over 4,000 tons of coal are now being exported weekly from Greymouth. The gold raised in the Australian colonies from the earliest records to the end of 1885 was 79,678,13. oz, or about £318,000,000 sterling of actual value. , Archbishop Redwood was invested wit!, the palliam at Wellington yesterday. Bishop Luck, of Auckland, performed the ceremony. "The Ancient History of the Maori" ia found not to be so very indecent after all,, and its free sale is to be allowed. Christehurch Rifle Association members; don't quite approve of having only the Lee- Remington rifles for next prize meeting, and they think the date should be January or February. ! A rather novel society is in existence in London, styled the "Cork Club." Each member of the club is supposed to carry a. cork in his pocket. If one member meeta another he says "Corks out;" and, if the one challenged has not got his cork, he haa x*o pay for refreshments for as many of the _a.V}m_ers of the club as may be present The club in London has a large number of members. A .branch is about to be started - in Sydney. Ai Dunedin, the sum of L 337 has been collected by ladies for the Jubilee Con valescent' Fund. . t The catalogue of books in the Free Publio Library will soon be ready- for printing. j It is supgrested that the assistant libra rian should txiake clippings from the Aus- tralian papers to assist local reporters to{ write their dEa_.\atic critiques. No need for Jbht\t; the reporters are only; too willing to do *i*hat themselves ; wholei columns "cribhgd*" in that way some times. It is announced tba"* Mr Walker, Conf missioner of Trade ai.>d Customs In the Victorian Ministry, will shortly resign, owing to ill-health. The new paper, ** Australian Public; Opinion," completely ignorea'* the New Ze*- V land press and its utterance on public questions. The Pope is showing a desire* to cc_v.rb the heathen of the South Sea Islands. Ah, he has heard of the Christian liber ality of the benighted savages, once they are converted, and doesn't mean to let the Wesleyans and Shirley Baker have all the benefit. At Sydney the other day, a s_le took Elace of a number of articles belonging to* iord Augustus Loftus, the bankrupt ex- Governor of the colony, including many presentation pieces. Sir John Macdonald of Canada explains that he doesn't mean to fight the United States. Like funky Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the " unmilitary bearing " comes natural fax him. At Brisbane, the other day, Lady Mus grove opened the Jubilee Exhibition of the Queensland National Association in the absence of the Governor, who was too ill to attend. Women's rights for ever 1 It has been suggested at Timaru that New Zealand might do very well with a Governess at £800 a year, instead of a Governor at about £10,000. A splendid idea I If we have a female monarch, why shouldn't we have a Viceroy' of the sam 6 sex ?
