TABLE TALK.

«_ New Gulvea annexed. A rocky place—The nursery. The Maiden's Band of Hope—A husband. Firth and electricity ; meeting to-night. Holiday sports in Thames District yes terday. Meeting re Queen-street levels this even ing. John Ferguson, aged 21, drowned near Dunedin yesterday. The body of Cains, drowned at Tauranga, nob yet recovered. A rabbit-proof fence between New South Wales and South Australia is to be erected at a cost of £21,000. Forty-third performance of the Mohawk Minstrels in Auckland to-nighfc. This Company seems bent on achieving the " longest stay on record." More novel ties coming. No man has a right to do what he pleases, unless he pleases to do what is right. Mrs Ross has lost her way in a wild district of Westland, and search parties are sent out, but with little hope of finding her alive. Sir Graham Berry has protested to Sir H. Holland against New South Wales assuming the name of " Australia." Beach says that Teemer, the splendid American oarsman, islikely to be the cham pion of the world before many years are over. A man with a wheelbarrow on the side walk is not very popular, but he generally carries everything before him. Napier wool sales commence on the 7th insb., for which 1,000 bales have been catalogued. There will soon be broken hearts among the marriageable young ladies of Auckland, at least in one "particular" denomina tion. It is reported that the Rev. T. Spurgeon will, early in the New Year, enter into matrimonial relations with that "Rose" about whom he has been chaffed. Another injustice to Auckland and the North ! Rumour hath it that the favoured lady comes from Dunedin. These Southerners always have "a friend in Court." Women can stand tight shoes, tight gloves and tight waists, but they very properly draw the line at tight husbands. The only country in the world that spends more on education than on its army and navy is the United States of America; A computation made on good data shows that there are in England now about 3,000,000 working: women, of whom one half are in domestic service. The' 'Cologne Gazette" states that England approves and co-operates with the central alliance between Germany, Austria, and Italy. The Protestant Episcopal Church of Ire land has 640,000 members, while the Pres. byterian has 471,000, and the Methodist 49,000. H.M.S. Thalia, which has sailed from England for Australia with relief crews for the Australian Squadron, will call at the Crozet Islands to ascertain if there are any wrecked mariners there. '. Great stagnation in the Royal matrimon ial market in Europe. 108 princes and 66 princesses of marriageable age, single; six of the number, however, betrothed; ■....:.. In consequence of the Government not renewing the vote for training colleges, the Wellington Board have resolved on giving the teachers' staff of the Training College three months' notice. There are no less than 425 music halls in the city of London, with a total seating capacity of 200,000. The seating capacity of the 60 theatres is not over 125,000 ; so it will be seen that the music hall is the popular form of amusement with the British public. ,
