AUCKLAND, N.Z., THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Another Scottish night at the Opera House.

The " Chiels " reinforced by " Lizzies." H.M.S. Nelson has gone to Fiji. A • Old Colonial Hands are at a discount. '? Another of them refujed a hearing las. night.

It was a shame for the hounds to spoil Sir William Fox's address.

Oh, it wasn't a fox-hunt at all, and th©' hounds", were the respectable shop keepers under the hall taking a just re venge for tho skating, rink nuisance. '■' \ Chamber of Commerce meeting to-day;: very important report on harbour im-! provements.

What a confiding lot the electors of City North must be ! ;

_. They have passed a vote of confidence m each of the four candidates who &v& seeking their suffrages. One of the candidates, apparently dis-; gusted at their insincerity, has given them' the slip.

The Wellington got away in spite of th_: Seamen's Union. The Iron Duke is an old 1 campaigner, and nob easily beaten. ' j Wellington City Council have decided to strike a rate of 3d in the L for hospital and: charitable aid purposes. A native charged with cruelty to a horse] at H'amiltonSvas yesterday fined L 5 andl costs, or one month in gaol. The London police are to be instructed ml shorthand.

That's nothing. At Tonga policemenl ; have to master the differential" and integral : calculus, quadratic equations, etc. London may take a back seat. i Chance for Auckland inventors. The Government prize fisr a peaU tHi-eshingi machine will be offered again next year. The Pope intended marking his Jubilee by adding 2GI English "saints" to the 1 calendar. And he has already marked it by striking off that recalcitrant "sinner," DrMcGlynn" of New York. A lucid verdict in the late Eden Terrace fire. "That the building has been burned down, but there is no evidence to show how it was done." Apparently not the slightest suspicion of arson or incendiarism ; why should there have been money wasted in arriving at such a lame and impotent ccnclusion ? In Norway, the match-making industry employs 1,200 men, while 2,000 families are employed in making the boxes. "I'll be darned if I have a lot of holes worn into me," muttered the old sock. Fifty thousand children are receivirt" moral and religious teaching iv the English ragged schools. " Bad for tho coo !" Modern locomotives keep up to the style of performance pro mised by Stephenson. Another cow lias just been killed by the Waikato train, i Sign of dull times. Marriages are on the | decline in England, and the Registrar. General also points out that the ratio of the ; birth-rate is falling in London and the other' great towns of the kingdom. Complaints having been made that tbe j Governor will not visit Auckland because of ; defective drainage at Government House, j the City Council have communicated with ; the Government on that subject. , i No need for the Wellington "Post " to " blow " about the harbour of the Empire City; the wind can get up quite a good' enough"blow any day. I. < You're right; but the sad accident there yesterday is a fatal " blow " to the preten sions of Port Nicholson as a naval station. '» The United States has over a quarter of a million telephones hi use. England has only 13,000. Auckland Art Gallery will be opened a_ soon as the balance of Sir Geo. Grey's pic tures are received. The rain has stopped in Canterbury and' the floods are subsiding. Beautiful, clear, bracing and sunny 1 weather at Auckland. Captain Edwin's) last gale got no further North than Wei- j lington. Lull in the electioneering storm too. The J only local meeting to-night is Mr Withy's j at the Christians' Meeting House, New] North Road. , i Dr. McKenzie Gordon, of Rangiora, Can- j terbury, died suddenly yesterday morning. The all-conquering Anglo-Saxon ! The , glove contest -at Wellington between R. 1 Matthews and C. Richardson for LIOO a-side i and the championship of New Zealand was awarded to Matthews, after ten rounds, on the ground that Richardson broke the rule 3 by hugging after being ordered by the referee to release his hold. Richardson had j been warned several times previously. Matthews bad much the best of the fight. There was a Chinese funeral in Auckland the other day, which may yet lead to trouble, as their is sure to be a " resurrec tion." At Wellington*, a charge has been brought under the Cemeteries Act, against Messrs Morris and Son, undertakers, for exhuming the body of a Chinaman without a permit: from the Colonial Secretary. Is Auckland to be " hard hit" by the Go vernment refusing to go on with the erec tion of the Custom-House ? " Tommy," said a mother to her seven year-old boy, " you must not interrupt mo when lam talking with ladies. You must wait till we stop, and then you can talk." " But you never stop !" retorted the boy. An original protrait of the Scottish poet Bums has just been sent to the National Gallery at Edinbui'gh, from Camperdowu, Victoria, by Mr W. A. Taylor, the grand son of the painter, Mr Peter Taylor, who executed the work from sittings given by the poet in 1786. The portrait is loss idealised than that painted in the follow ing year by J. Miers, but perhaps it is the more likely for that very reason to be accurate. Princess Christian is reported as saying of her royal mamma : "You do not know how lonely mamma is. She feels as if all her old friends were dying off one by one. All her daughters are married and have left her except Beatrice, and she is so lonely."
