TABLE TALK.

MA.JERONI revival,

They " have come " to Auckland. Open to-night with "The Foundrj Master."

A dangerous woman on trial to-day. Men are safe for the next twelve months. Christian Convention at the YvM.C*A. Rooms to-night. He that would enjoy the fruit must not gather the flower. •

Physic, for the most part, is but a substi tute for Temperance. Alarm of fire at Parnell yesterday was from a very trifling cause. Children-* matches - hay—blazes 1 The" Herald"states that "Lord Gallop " has arrived from the Islands. Must be a sporting nobleman!

A number of city properties are to be sold because of non-payment of rates. The times are bad, after all!

Another big growl at St. Paul's lasb night. This time public funerals and the? anti-religious tone of the Auckland Press were the objects of vituperation. He that will believe only what he can fully understand must have a very long head or a very short creed. ' to William Godwin has been drowned near Greymouth, while absent from home to re cord his vote in a local election contest. At the inquest on the men killed by the fatal tunnel accident near Invercargill, a. verdict of accidental death was returned. Newton residents are to vote to-morrow on a proposal to borrow £2,500 for water supply and fire-extinguishing plant. The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence to live as, if he were poor. The late Wi Tako Ngatata, M.L.C., was honoured with a military funeral at Hutfc yesterday. The procession was a mile long, and was witnessed by thousands. It is understood that the feast in con nection with the death of this well-known chief will cost over £500.

"Bluejacket Veteran" writes that the rusty state of some of the swords worn yesterday at Colonel Lyon's funeral was a disgrace to any British man-o'-war's man or Imperial soldier.

According to the " Chicago Herald " there are 46,000 unnaturalised Britishers in that city, and a movement has been started to bring them into the fold of American citizen ship.
