TABLE TALK.

OnK Indian tiraraicr. Pressed for time—mummies. Sir Georee Grey is in town. The "grand old man'1 ia always wel come. Hope he will soon reside here perman ently. His address on Saturday ia pure to be a treat. Good words are good ; good works are better. Sir George giveß ua both good words and good works. Big Irish "row" progressing in the House of Commons. Quite a Hibernian method of holding the Jubilee year t Ha !ha ! Donnybrook fashion, But this Crimes Bill is no joke. No ; the Tories will find it will lead to their early overthrow. And Gladstone, Parnell and Co., will return to power ? Isn't that too good to be true? Oh, no; and a proper Jubilee achieve menc will be the granting of Homo Rule to Ireland ! Let's hope bo ! Beyond all doubt, the public sentiment in Kngland is-pointing that way, Complaints made of larrikins insulting ladies near the Three Lamps, Ponsonby. Ah, they want a taste of Judge Word. Positive, Ward ; comparative, warder; superlative, seven years in quod 1 Some boys have too much rope, and too , little rope's end. Gang of " speelers " in Auckland said to be circulating spurious half-soverigns. Pro tection wanted ! I see ! Too much " free trade " in coin age won't do. Don't care about keeping that money in the country 1 Licensing election causing considerable stir at Onehunga to-day. Teetotallers making a vigorous effort to throw out the Moderates. More power to them ! ; What says the proverb ?—" Many a child is hungry because the brewer is rich !'' Yes : and mauy of the publican's cus f/ ':• , are driven to "rough on rats" to !iuu their misery, Otago Anniversary celebrated yester day by a review and sham fight at Wai hola. Lieutenant-Colonel Wai s was not satis fied with the sham-fight; yet he didn't order the whole force under arrest! Rev, James Chew is to be welcomed by a soiree at Beresford street Congregational Church to-night. The name has a Celestial twang about it. Ah—Chew! But the rev. gentleman is a true Briton. Mr Justice Johnston has been elected Chairman of Christchurcb Jubilee Celebra tion Committee. Why is not Auckland making a move in the direction of honouring the Queen's Jubilee? ■ . Oh, wait till we get our Library demon stration over. Be sure that you're off with the old love before you are on with the new. Timaru is also moving in the matter, and a strong committee has been nppointed to prepare proposals to lay before a public meeting. Speaking of Timaru, it is stated that Hall the poisoner is in robust health and is a splendid hand at the pick and shovel. New reading of the proverb—"Money makes the mare go I" Timaru folks say — "■Anti-many makes the wife go." Too bad! Reward of £250 offered for the conviction of the miscreant who set fire to Ehrenfricd's store laßt Sunday. . . .<■. , Ah, don't they wish they may get him ? But was there any evidence of incendiarism in the case ? None at all; but people will talk, yon know. Besides, if the fire was, not caused by an incendiary, how was it caused t ■ Happy thought I A good rat Catcher has ■ a chance of earning' £250 easy. Let him catch that wicked incendiary rat! Mr H. Hutton has been elected Chairman of Qtahuhu Licensing Committee. - Prospect of electric lighting in Auckland. Two different firms competing for the honour of electrifying us. The ■ Cambridge crew are slightly the favourites for the University Boat Race. President Cleveland, who for some time has been indisposed, has been warned by his medical advisers that he is overworking President Cleveland's family deny that ' there is any cause; for anxiety in' regard to the state of the President's health. .: V It will be a cad case if the President , succumbs to overwork.; > -. ' ■-- ~ ,;; S Lord Peerhurst has resigned his appoint--; ment as aide-de-camp to Sir Henry Loch. ,'' , High time, too! After, figuring in the Police Cpuit over a vulgar " row " with a common betting man. The experiment of sending " scions of nobility" to die Australian colonies has not been altogether successful. Fearful explosion in Bulli Colliery, near Sydney. '■ Seventy' miners entombed and not expecteorto be got out alive. '■~■■■'-', Ah ! An explosion of fire dump beyond a doubt; which is followed by the terrible " choke-damp " in which all life becomes at . once extinct!:! Poor fellows. Competitive essay on' "Alcohol," for : prizes, offered by the Women's Christian) Temperance Union,: will be received-up to the 28th met. -,-i ■-.-."■ The competition is open to all'public Bohool; pupils, and the work of reference is Dr, Richard?od's Test Book. . ,r All \ the South Australian Ministers have been elected, with the exception of ; Dr.'> Cockbiirn, who was defeated at Burra.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Auckland mercantile community will: . have to be on the alert with regard to the attempt which is now being made to deprive this port of the benefit of direct steam com munication with England. According to the Wellington press, the present dietribu- ! tion of the_ Doric's cargo from Wellington is made a view to the adoption, of that system permanently. Of course, the local newspapers declare the experiment to have been, an - unbounded success They, assert that "the cargo W reached, its-destination all over the ' colony in much less average.. time than could; otherwise have been obtained and a marked saving in cost to the ship has been * effected. The Tl aion Cj . bj^™* waiting at Welh UK ,on to take theUapier . and Auckland cargo Nori h, and the Dunedin and Lyttelion cargo South ; and of course there; was 1.0 difficulty id regard to the quick: despatch or the W fißt Coast cargo" Auckland and Southern merchants could tell a very different story of the dolavs ia delivery of cargo when tr a i,ship P ed-of packages containing paits of machinery de livered with a month's iuterval between-of the uncertainty that overhangs the question of delivery, rendering the advantages of despatch by direct steamer with ita attend ant heavy charges very questionable indeed If the big steamship companies intend to depart from the promise that was wrun£ from:them, to pat on a Jair proportion c? their (Steamers tor each of the larce Dort* direc], they will fi na a growing deferS I ti»n amoßg merchants to u E e sailing vessels for the conveyance of their c«r eo In f a ct,the,e is no very obvious difference , between transhipping cargo at Wellinetou and transh.pmng f tom the Urien( . &™ i. and 0. lines at Sydney or Melbourne.

j It is a somewhat remarkable fact lhat tha re^perimenta which have b een m ; Ue of run ning Sunday traine in New Zealand for the i pwppM of-enabling people to *peod thl ' day a long way from the cities have not proved a success.
