TABLE TALK.

Got over tho religious festival ? Yes, what a "holy row" thoeefireballs made. And of course there was a real alarm of fire just at the time. Very curioir, bat not unexpected. ■ "Hazel Jvirke" at the Opera House to night. Minstrels in the City Hall, and variety entertainment in the Agricultural Hall. People eeem going in for a "^bust" after the hard asceticism of yesterday ! You bet! Sham fight at North Shore to-day; "camp" at the Lake to-merrow, and races on Monday and Tuesday at Ellerelie. Not to mention the coureing meeting at Papatoitoi to day. I Of " course ;" I had forgotten that. ! Sir John Pope Hennessy has arrived in London. And I expect he will have to stay there now. The Jaith Healer opens in the Choral Hall tomorrow night. Don't you know, he seems to be a very earnest, intelligent, and sincere Christian. Ah! that's the reason why so many newspapers and not a few clergyman have ' given him the cold shoulder. Doctors differ very much about the cause of those deaths from eating beefsteak pie. Yes, the old story. Doctors differ and patients die 1 Some of them say " poison," others say " choleraic diarrhcea," but they have all agreed to differ apparently. Kov, Father Kehoe is leaving for Helena ville on account of ill-health. Hope he will recover, and nob have any more bilious-cum ■ cemetery • cam - secular newspaper attacks. Eev. Father Hackett, of Helensville, suc ceeds him in the cathedral parish here. Gunpowder plot in Victoria, What's that, eh 1 The Honourable James Lorrimer, Minister of Defence for Victoria, has received a favourable offer for the establish ment of a cartridge factory in Victoria, House of Commons adjourned for Easter Holidays till 12th Inst. The honours to " distinguished colonists " are already being distributed. Mr J. W. Downer, Premier of South Australia, has been created a Knight Com mander of St. Michael and St. George. The same honour will probably be offered to the Hon. Mr D. Gillies, Premier of Victoria. Cela va mm dire. Mr Deakio, of Vio toria receives ftho offer of knighthood, and Mr Wisdom, of New South Wales, will probably be decorated. New Plymouth bowlere have beaten Wanganui by 91 points. That's a worse drubbing than Auckland got. These Taranakians must be crack players, eh ? Oh, they've nothing else to do in Tar- v anaki, but live on the fruits of the land, ad mire Mount; Egmont, and play bowls and billiards. I see a sad accident reported from Tart. naki—a boy named Patrick O'Donnell run over by a dray and killed. Ah, these unfortunate things happen everywhere, and much too frequently, £263 subscribed for the Macandrew memorial, with more promised, . . . That's rather disappointing; and I fee the committee have taken to quarrelling among themeelveß—calling names and that Bort of thing. Tβ Aro nomination on Thursday. Messrs Ta vera, Frasor, and Nancarrow were pro posed. The poll takes place on the 15th inst. . :'.'■ .','- Well, my '■ tip" is that the candidates will stani on the poll in the order you have named them. Good price for Now Zealand produce in London. Frozen mutton is fetching 4d to 6d, and lamb 5d to 7d per lb. Human bones unearthed at Lambton, - Quay, Wellington. A hidden -tragedy, perhaps! Not very likely. More probably some old Maori burial place been " tapped" by excavators. Henry Chamberlain, of Parnell, is the patentee of an invention for the prevention i« of ships striking the ground er bed of the* ocean. What a pity that process was not 'dis covered years ago. Britannia talks of war, boys 1 It is reported that. England will bombard the Haytian ports- unless the Tortugas Islands dispute ie settled. It would be a jolly good job if England took charge of those blessed niggers in Hayti. Tho directors of the Mount Morgan West Mining Company intend to appeal against the decision of Justice Kay. No wonder, when he "slated " them co unmercifully. The death is announced of Colonel Sir William Owen Lanyon, formerly Governor of the Transvaal, aged 45. Didn't know him; bat he must have been good to have died co young. It is proposed to raise an infantry rifle corps at Cambridge. . v Hope that the esprit de corps will carry them through without any of the " troubles" that have overtaken Volunteers elsewhere. ' Cheap land in Canterbury—difficulty in " bursting-up " large estates !" So I observe. Land within eight miles of Christchurch fetching only £31 to £3110 a per acre. That was the property of Sir W. E. Staf ford, and eight years ago the lota would have fetched double the price. Ah well; it's at ill too dear. There isn't o bit of agricultural land in the world that's worth £20 an acre at the present time. Tender for re-building St. Benedict's Catholic Church has not been accepted yet. You re mistaken. Mr Colebrooke s was accepted, but he has declined to go on with the contract. Found he had mado a miatake I suppose, and didn't want to lose money. Volunteer encampment at Taranaki very successful t Four men in hospital already. Well, that isn't many out of 9,000 men in the field. No; but it is a good few considering that the (sham) fighting doesn't commence till to day. But it isn't remarkable ; for Dr. Daweon has met with a bad accident while prepar ins to go to our Easter Encampment—one of his hands badly lacerated by an ambu lance waggon. • . . ' Ah, sorry to hear that. Hope he won't be prevented from taking charge of the ambulance department at Takapnna. He's co enthueiaetic in that matter. I see another accident at New Plymouth, swelling the number of wounded to five. What was that! • ..;;.- Private Fox, from Napier, was struck by the shaft of a gun carriage, at the ran way station, and is Buffering from concussion of the spine. Poor fellow. Not much "sham" about that. I hope our encampment will be frea of disasters.

A Globe Trotter's Experience.

Rookhampton (Q,), Jane 21,1886.-I have ' derived co much benefit from the nee of Warner's safe cure, I consider it my duty to let my fellow sufferers know of the good it has done me. I have been a martyr to kidney complaint a : severe pains in the back, could not rest nights, eometimea an enormous appetite, and again conld not eat anything; urine was filled with red and white dust deposits and tubei caste ekin completely parched by the alternation of chUla and fever", could not evun walk np a small hill without taking eaveral restsi Having travelled in Sooth America, Eas Indies, West Coaat of Africa, United States ' and all over the Colonies, I have need in numerable remedies, and doctored with many phyeieiane. About eighteen month* ago my paine were so incessant thafc I despaired of ever getting relief, ontn three months ago I saw a leading doctor was recommending Warner'e cafe cure, and I determined to give it a trial. After taking six bottles I was astonished at th» marvellous effects produced. My annetita was complete regulated; pains In mybftok - have disappeared; and only last week Iraa a race with a young man, just to Bee what benefit my lungs had received. Amd now I am pursuing my favourite occupation— pro epecting-and can stand any amonnroi hardships. I cannot Eay too much tafaYon* of Warner's safe remedies, and recommend them right and left. — WM-J^SjSsfflfflfi
