AUCKLAND, N.Z., WEDNESDAY,; JUNE 8, 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Last night of' The Mikado." , Book seats for "lolanthe." Four members for Auckland. City East, West, North and South. Hurrah for the Representation Bill I District Judge Smith has had an attack of illness at Thames.

The Lynch Bellringers had a crowded house at Onehunga last night. .

The sweet chiming bells will soon ba " far, far away " from Auckland. England's eyes opened !

The Imperial Government see the folly of giving free access and full information to all foreign warships visiting her colonial and other possessions.

High time they warned Australians and New Zealanders on the subject.

Apropos, here is the howl of an Aus taalian poet, who has evidently been reading " Lochiel's Warning " :—

Australia! Australia! beware of the day, . When Russian war-steamera shall enter each ; bay, ; I see with the sight of a truth-telling seer— i With a prophet's foreboding those war-clangs I: hear, That are pealing near Albion's sea-girded Isle, And shall boom on our shores for the sake of ■ onr ' pile.' j

Mrs Madden, a colonist of 40 years' stand ing, and relict of the late Mr Charles Madden, is dead. • , . .

A strong syndicate has been formed of > Belgian and English capitalists for the: construction of 1,500. miles of railways in China. .

Since the abolition of the French law re quiring a license for wine shops in 1880 tha number has increased by 40,000.

Mr Herbert Spencer, though not strong enough for continuous literary work, is writing some reminiscences of iiis. early days, which' may growto the dimensions of. an autobiography. Still more Jubilee items. *

At Wellington the Salvation Army intend i to celebrate the Queen's J.ubilee by giving ! a dinner to a thousand poor children. >] That's better than a Jubilee public-house. Harinaford is going to do business gratis for the Jubilee. '~'; i

If that applies to the matrimonial branch of his agency, I guess there will be a lot of Jubilee marriages negociated. What a good job it would be if the grocer, butcher and baker would imitate Hanua ford ! •

Ah, but he is inimitable.

During the 50 years of Victoria's reign 1 Britain has spent £4,500,000,000 on alcoho- : lie drinks. Last year's urojr-bill was only I £122,905,000—doubtless ' owing to "hard i times. i

Mr Frankland, chief actuary of the New ! Zealand Government Insurance Depart ment, is going to England on eight months leave of absence. !

The total area of land under hop cultiva tion throughout the world is 300,000 acres, of which nearly a fourth is in Bavaria.

According to the " Poverty Bay Herald," " Gone at last and a good job too " is about all the epitaph the Stout- Vogel Government are likely to get from the unappreciative electors of the colony.

The same paper suggests that a General. Thanksgiving T)ay should be appointed to commemorate the death of the Stout-Vogel •Ministry.

. The suit of John Brenow against Mr William Ridgeway, publisher, for libel, in accusing him of being a Fenian and for merly 01 Invincibles, was tried in London, on May.3. ■ The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff, awarding £500 damages. That shows what substantial damages Mr Parnell and his friends would geb from the " Times " if they prosecuted ib for-libel.

Will the.redistribution of seats be effected so as to make Mr Dargaville sure of election for Marsden ?

Whangarei apparently does not want Mr Dargaville at any price. The "Northern Advocate," after charging him with for warding his candidature by " every possible subterfuge" and pressing Mr Mitchelson to declare his intentions, concludes that if the latter gentleman decides not to contest the Marsden seat,

" Mr Dargaville will certainly come for ward—for his case elsewhere is hopeless,— and, without the most vigorous and unani mous effort on the part of the electors, will be returned."

I hear that Hodge meanato pay a visit to Marsden electorate shortly — probably to " watch Mr Dargaville."

Mr John Hudson's house at Kakaramea, near Patea, was burned down on Monday night, with all its contents. Insurance, L 250 in the Colonial office.

Sir William Jervois, Sir Robert Stout, and Sir Julius and :"Lady Vogel at tended the Caledonian Ball at Wellington on 2nd inst. • . ,

The Tasmanian agricultural returns show an increase in the production of wheat and . of potatoes, but a decrease in barley, hay and hops. Apples have increased, pears decresfeed.

Auckland-grown olives ■ are being much ' admired afc Wellington;' but Federli is ; modei'ating the raptures of the\public by telling them that quite as good could be grown at Wellington. Captain Cotton is to get a testimonial for f his plucky a.nd successful walking against) Scott at Christchurch. , \

Ruslari hates jouVnalists. He has"a pro found pity for "the poor wretch who pawns the dirty linen of his soul daily for a. bottle of sour wine and a cigar." That doesn't apply to Auckland' journal ists, who cannot afford to indulge in' pipe or glass. The R.M. _ab Christchurch has decided, on the authority of a ruling in the Scottish Court' of Session, that' when a lodger ordered liquor from a bar-keeper, and gave it to a friend,- the person supplying the liquor did not infringe the law. This should lead to a great increase of "lodgers" at public houses, and also to 'friendly visits to them on Sundays.
