TABLE TALK.

Atiies-Eum conversazione to-night. New programme at the Bell-ringers'.

Aboufc 150 bootmakers are on strike at Wellington. Onehunga Brass Band intend to have a concert and dance on Queen's Birthday.

There are to be three Jubilee holidays in Victoria-20th, 21st, and 22nd June. Mr Berry Case is a candidate for the Avon scab.

" King " Tawhlao is on a visit to Paeroa, where a big " korero " is in progress. A somewhat alarming outbreak of typhoid fever has taken place in Wanganu^. Wanganui folks, who have a reputation for lunacy, are trying'to get a Harbour Bill framed.

Well, I should say that's a rather insana idea, considering their proximity to Wel lington, and the excellent railway service they have. v

On the Earl of Aberdeen's 'arrival ab Wanganui, the first "address" presented to him was the circular and price-list of an enterprising drapery firm. Ah, the early bird" catches the early Earl! Not much lunacy about that dodge. I see the Earl is coming back to Auck land at once. Soon got enough of Avindv Wellington.

The meeting of the "Leader" News paper Company takes place to-night. Wonder if there will be any "inane dri veilings " on the occasion ? Rather wonder if there will bo anything else. You know the. epigram, which might be altered very slightly to suit present times :—

Why is a pump like Viscount Caable reagh? Because it is a slender thing of wood, That its long arm incessantly doth sway And ever spout 3 and spouts and spouts away In ono weak, washing, everlasting flood ! I see you consider it a decidedly mul locky leader, as gold-miners would say ! The Onehunga mystery i 3 resolved—Misa Clinkard found all right. That Volunteer libel caee has ended in a .collapse ; the slander is a " privileged" one. Janet Nicoll in with Island oranges ; our protective Government taxing the fruit. Fiji news by the Arawata of some im portance. Tonga inquiry ended, and all is peace. Mr Button is to discourse to-night on "The Relation of Scionco and Art to a Young Colony." I know what the relation is — that of Cinderella! . '

Victorians complain of the wholesale im portation of Sydney "unemployed" to Melbourne. They have been crossing the border in j hundreds, and crowding the Benevolent; Asylum. The " protectivo " colonists are' naturally indignant at this sample of frqe trade tactics. Christchurch is #still moro " depressed " than Auckland. In reply to an advertise ment for 100 railway navvies, ]80 applied. Mr R. S. Hawkins will bo a candidate for tho Wairarapa seat. Verdict of temporary insanity in the case of Mr Munday, who Committed suicide at • Westport yesterday. He left a note saying ho could not account • forj>ho infirmity ho wae suffering from ; bubj 'many 7 ancf ho tfibrcforiTtook his life. )

OSTRICH FARMING.

The ostrich farm at Otamatea has so far been carried on fairly well, and of the forty-nine birds landed from the Johann Brodersen, forty-six ai-e now alive. It has been found, however, that Otamtitea ia not so easily accessible as could be desired, owing to the irregular communication with Auckland, and it has been decided to remove the ostriches to Mr L. D. Nathans property known as Whitford^ Park, and situated a short distance beyond, Howick. Here thero is plenty of goods water, grass, and shelter in a hollow, witfi^ all necessary shed accommodation,and,what is equally important, speedy and regular communication can be established with. Auckland for the conveyance of food, etc., for the birds. With this object in -view the steamer Glenelg is to leave this port to-night for Kaipara, and she will probably return with the ostriches on Friday next.

OUR GOLDFIELDS

(BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Thames, this day.

Saxon. —The mine manager reports that the reef, spoken of in wire of Saturday looks very '.well, shows blend and bright mineral, and- is about 3 feet 6 inches thick. In the drive, No. 4 level, there is about 12 feet in length of the reef stripped ; the country is inter sected by small veins of quartz dipping into the reef and carrying gold which makesj)ro gress sloSTef. There is no change on No. 3 level. He expects the battery will atarfa about Wednesday next. ' J(4"- " -[,
