PBICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Another fire. Waitoa reviving. There's money in it! Lot of meetings to-night. Conference at the Tabernacle. Teetotallers at the Temperance Hall. Induction service at St. David's Church, i That Dutchman still flying around the Opera House. Mohawks making melodious minstrelsy near the Market. They give a matinee for children on Saturday afternoon. ', And will invite all the charity children to attend free. . There is to be a sacred concert at Sfc. 1 Sepulchre's Church on Friday evening next. "The Lost Torpedo"—a sort of com panion song to the " Lost Chord "—is popu lar in Wellington. In other words, a torpedo that was firetli during practice on Saturday last is still: careering round Wellington harbour. i It is worth £200, and the Department officials are afraid it may get hurt in its : travels, especially if it should strike a rock.; Their tender solicitude does not extendi to the shipping that may be blown to smithereens by the wandering torpedo! These be your defences, oh Zealandia ! Ireland is still a most distressful country. 1 Editor O'Brien has publicly burned a Government proclamation prohibiting aj Nationalist meeting. ■ i Sir West Ridgway, Under-Secretary for: Ireland, and Mr Balfour are at present' visiting Dublin. There was a strong southerly gale, ac companied by rain, at Dunedin last night.; Borne trees were blown down. Sir Vincent Barrington is renewing hie efforts to induce France to be officially re presented at the Melbourne Exhibition. Mr Prince, electrician, is expected in Wellington this week to fit up electric lighting apparatus. The experiment is to extend over two months. About £1,000 has been subscribed in Otago to the presentation to Bishop Moran. The prelate is expected by the next steamer from Melbourne. The Hon. John Martin is about to try an; experiment iii the cultivation of sugar beet , on his estate in Wairarapa. Mr John Oliver was yesterday elected a' member of Point Chevalier Road Board, in room of Mr Partington, who retired. A glove fight, Laing v. Richardson, for £50 a side,came offat Wellington last night,' resulting in the referee- giving a win to Laing, " , . On Thursday evening next at the meet ing of Auckland Athenreuin Mr E. Cox will read a paper entitled—" Is Vegetarian Diet Natural for Man'?" It is for monkeys. i John L. Dow, the funny man of the Vie-! torian Assembly, is a Scotchman. This, is true, but it sounds very like a lie. A woman named Jessie Walker is in cus tody at Wellington on the charge of at- , tempting suicide by drinking carbolic acid. • Turpentine, in doses of twenty or thirty' minims, will not only remove headache,! but produce in a wonderful manner a sooth- ■ ing influence. In September last 63 births and 19 deaths took place in the city of Auckland. The death rate was again lower than that of. any other colonial city, being 0"53 per 1000 of the population. Messrs Clmffey are raising a capital of £600,000 in New York with which to work their irrigation colony in Victoria. Skilled farmers .and labourers ai'e to be imported! from California. ■ Of 159 deaths that took place in New Zealand borough in September last, S4 were of males and 75 females, while 50, were of children under five years of age— 30 being under one year.' They like their joke in the Tasmanian Assembly. Dr. B. L. Crowther told the, House the other night that he was earning a good income. Mr Burgess retorted,. "I'm glad of it personally, although I am sorry for his patients." Yesterday, when the alarm of fire at Seafteld View Road was given, there was nearly a fatal accident at the lire brigade' station.. Robertßobertson, the keeper of. the engine, had gone up to ring the alarm j on the big bell, when the clapper came doAvn with a crash, just missing his head, i
