AUCKLAND, N.Z., FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Paeliamext prorogued to-day.

Immoral London again !

More aristocraticscoundrels, eh ? : - No ; the offenders this time are " men of low and depressed rank."

Proves the truth of the saying that no body is so depraved as the man who has sunk through several grades of society, "lolanthe" is pronounced superior to "The Mikado."

Auckland Art Exhibition this year has resulted in a dead loss of £80.

Those artists are quite " artless "in busi ness matters, and have bungled it, I suppose. In future, "Thauma" is to be on exhibi tion in fche afternoon as well as evening. :

This year being the " jubilee " of the in vention of phonography, a marble bust of Mr Isaac Pitman is being subscribed for by that gentleman's admirers. Prospecting for gold is going on at To Puke, and some likely-looking stone has been found. . ,

To-day is the anniversary ,of the Tara wera eruption. The Maoris prophesied another big " blow-up " for to-day • but I fear the last? eruption killed the last of the Maori pro phets. .

This year's eruption may be coming yet.; It is reported that White Island has been very active during the past few days, the steam rising to a height of between 6,00fl and 7,000 feet and being distinctly seen, from Tauranga. The " Herald " makes a great wail over the lost Terraces; people will think that these constituted the whole resources ofi New Zealand.

A very damaging article, but it is relieved by a comical blunder. What is it? '

The writer is comparing little things with great —Rotorua district with the Yellow stone Park in the United States—and says: —"True, the Americans in their Yellow- Stone region possess a marvellbus demon stration of Nature's pent-up energies, and can show, in addition to magnificent gey sers, enormous terraces of a formation simi lar to those destroyed at Rotomahana. Bufc the marvels of the Yosemite Valley, although on a larger scale, could not! be compared with the matchless beauty of New. Zealand's terraces." . ' '*."')

Ha !Ha ! I see. The editor has given up the Egyptian question in disgust, arid has taken to airing his knowledge of geo graphy. ;:.i Exactly; and he is still in gross Egyptian; darkness. The Yosemite Valley," which is in California, is about a thousand miles' away from the Yellowstone region, and has no connection with it, although the' "Herald" appeare to consider the two places identical! , At the Thames Licensing Court an ac commodation house was described aa "swarming with bugs and fleas, and the bedrooms were unfit for anyone to live in.: A liquor is sold there called,hop beeiv which had become such a popular drink that it was largely consumed, arid the bar i had to be enlarged." . . ?j Another witness said there was plenty > of drink about—it was supposed to be hop! beer, but it often makes the men fightable' and noisy. :! ' , ' ■:

Must be some of the same, brew. thafc is sent to the King Country. ■ Fifty sheep, besides pigs,- ftc, are to be slaughtered for the Maori feast at Bay of; Plenty in welcoming " King " Tawhiao. 1 The meeting is to be strictly teetotal-*- j " Bellamy's nowhere—a worthy example? for Parliament ! , i

At Wellington the other day the Regis-} trar of Births had the pleasure of register-,! ing the birth of twins, the father being o£ the age of 71 years, and. the mother 44 years old.

That's something for the windy capital to "blow" about. Auckland must yield the belt in that competition.

The Parnellites refuse to attend the, special Jubilee service in Westminster Abbey. Too busy attending to their own Jubilee) pyrotecnics, I suppose. There is to be a big outdoor gathering At Thames for the Jubilee. ,

The word " Jubilee "is becoming hatefaßi by its continual reiteration. \ Oh, bear up a bit.: it will soon be all' over —up like a rocket and down like the stick,, you know. ,".' , ' ■'■ >. ■ \
