TABLE TALK.

Sir Julius Vogel has gone to Napier. Mr Sydney Taiwhanga, M.H.R., ia in town. Farewell performance of the Mammoths to-night. "She Stoops to Conquer "at the Opera House. Some of the " unco quid " are scandalised at having a theatrical performance for a good object. Dunedin folks are to have a half holiday on polling day. Cannot the Mayor of Auckland be moved to grant the same ? The Hon. G. M. Waterhouse has resigned the Speakersbip of the Legislative Council. Important meeting of Takapuna rate payers this evening re Shoal Bay improve ments. The man who jumps overboard is supposed to be over-bored with life. The Maori perjury case still drags its slow length along at the Supreme Court. The betting on the international race for the American Cup between the yachts Thistle and Volunteer is now even money. " Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality :j for ever ! There's nothing of the despot about Republicans, eh ? The French Radicals are insisting on" the expulsion of all Bourbons and Bonapartists. The gum digging industry is looking up in the Auckland district. It is expected that a lot of gum-diggers will earn " ten bob " at the polling booths on Monday next. The wheat harvest of France is estimated to yield one hundred and seven million hectolitres. The " Small Gal Gazette " has unearthed another London scandal. Keeps that Stead-ily in view ! It now in sists that a certain "gallant" colonel should resign his seat in the House of Com mons. The Ideal Man and Woman at Lorne street Hall next Sunday. The new warship Trafalgar has been launched in England. Beautiful riots at Lillie Bridge. If those had taken place in Ireland, a Cmore strin gent Coercion Act would have been intro duced. " Madam," said the tramp, "I'm hungry enough to eat raw dog." ''Well," she°re sponded, kindly suiting the action to the word, "I'll whistle some up for you." The tramp left, taking his appetite with him. The Premier is of opinion that irregular attendance does nob constitute a ground on which a master can expel children from the schools. There is a disposition to transfer to Melbourne the Irish Court at the Man chester Jubilee Exhibition, with addi tional manufactures, if allowed a separate court. The electors are becoming churlish. They did not give Mr Reader Wood even bare thanks at Devonporb last night, and the same thing happened at one of Mr W. F. Buckland's meetings lately. No wonder the " free and independent " are forgetting the ordinary civilities of life; they are so bored with politics they will give hearty thanks when all is over. The Canterbury Anglers' Society is the title of an association just formed at Christ church ; the members'ai*e "mostly fools," of course. Reminds one of the definition of a fishing rod—" A stick with a worm at one end and a fool at the other." The Rev. James Boyd Brady, having passed throughout the United .States and Mexico, is now in the Sandwich Islands, and soon to sail for China, Japan and India, via New Zealand and Australia. The Dunedin Manufacturers' Association have decided to send their secretary as a delegate to the Trade Congress in Aus tralia. The Presbyterian Sabbath school in the city of Damascus is attended by 356 chil dren, and the day school by 730. Between 400 and 500 natives attend the Sunday services.
