TABLE TALK.

» Our beautiful climate. English August weather to-day- Interesting budget of mail news. The Honolulu revolution is all over. Particulars of the "little arc*, bishop" tragedy. Sir George Grey leaves Wellington for the South on Monday. Queer meeting; chance fcr querists ab the Temperance Hall to-night. How a cricketer describes the Queen's Jubilee-" V.R., 50, not out." Mr Baddeley, R.M., enters on his duties at Auckland on Tuesday next. Ballance down in the scale. The Wanga nui parsons are preaching against him and in favour of his opponent Carson. Rather funny, you know—Carson would be made a parson by the change of a single letter, and he has some connection with the Book of Chronicles. Mr Robert Jenkinson, Auckland, is patenting new concrete water and drain pipes. Dunedin School Board is short of funds, and is appealing in forma pauperis to tbe Government. Major-General Twigg came by the Mari posa to make a pleasure tour of the colonies. Good ; he doesn't mean to hop the t^ig, twiggez-vous ! The number of bankruptcies reported in July in N:S. Wales was 116, with liabili ties set down at L90,8_6. Wellington friendly societies havo netted L2lB by the Jubilee demonstration and art union organised by them. The members of Lake County Council, Otago, are being sued for recovery of about L 1.200 illegally paid out of the funds. Captain Purnell, of Wanganui, has been appointed honorary major in the New Zea land Volunteer forces. Wicked Wellington ! Decree nisi granted yesterday in the divorce case, Erickson v. Erickson, on the ground of adultery by the husband. An inventive journalist is to the fore in the person of Mr J. S. Talbot, of Mercury Bay, who seeks letters patent for a " flower and fruit gatherer." A prisoner in Duneain Gaol has just been sentenced to seven days' additional deten tion for accusing a warder of assaulting him, without being able to prove it. A large number of shearers have been summoned at Hergott, South Australia, for going out on strike, and breaking their agreements. Plenty of men are available at 15s per 100. Dunedin Board of Education are sorry that the Departmoni attaches so little weight to their opinion of the syllabus. Mr Alex. Harvey, tinsmith, Auckland, is patentee of a new refrigerator for cooling and aerating liquids ; and also of a case for packing cheese, meat, etc. By the bolting of the horses in the Manaia Opunake mail coach yesterday, the driver and a lady passenger sustained serious in juries. Operations have been commenced in con nection with the building of Mr Harrow's family hotel at Lake Takapuna. Food ro» Consumptives. Scott's Emulsion o. Pork Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites of Limb and Soda, is a most- wonderful food for the Consumptive. It not only gives strength and increases the flesh, but heals the irritation of the throat and lungs. It _> very palatable: children take it like milk, Mid in all wasting diseases both for adults and children it is a marvellous food and medicine. Largo and small bottles of all Chemists. *s 6d and 2S 6d.
