PRICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Second Majeroni production. " Elizabeth, Queen of England." Bishop Luck is in Wellington. Foretaste of summer to-day. Large number of meetings this evening. -, Musical Auckland ! Concerts at Parnell, \ Ponsonbyand Pitt-streefc. i Learned Auckland! Lectures at the i Museum and at the V.M.C.A.

Frisky Auckland ! The champion dancer's class opens to-night. The elections are fixed to take place on 26th September; writs returnable sth October.

Rare dramatic treat at the Opera House i to-night. The dresses worn by the acfcresßea' in^ "Elizabeth" are worth double the ad-f mission money to see. ,■ The Government are making a great show ■ of retrenchment. Yes; but it's at the wrong end ) the! Governor and the big sinecure office-holders! are untouched, Of course not; but sixteen clerks have i been "sacked" from the Property Tax' Department, and the poor "devils" in I the Government Printing Office are on half' time. ■

The morning paper says that " spirits are! moving rather better." ' All, moving the tables I suppose, i Spiritualists will be glad to hear it. ' 1 It's nofc that sort of spirits ; it's the kind! that " moveth itself aright and giveth its I colour to tho cup," Ho ! ho ! And I might add to what is j written by saying it also gives a colour to i the toper's nose. The " Herald " report goes on to say that i " bottled beers are sluggish." Must be bad j beer,

Quite dead, I should say ; stretched or* i its bitter " bier," so to speak. George C. Best is gazetted harbourmaster and pilot for Russell. A " fisher of men."—Mr George Fisher's ; speech at Wellington is praised by all tha; papers. •

Coercion in Ireland ! Mr Wm. O'Brien is being prosecuted for inciting tenants to resist the law. The Standard Insurance Company have; declared the usual interim dividend of h\ ■ per cent. Neither an atheist nor a Greyite ! The , " political quidnunc " is a regular atten- j dant at the Salvation Army meetings. Eden Terrace folks are still talking about! locking the stable door, although severalj steeds have been stolen. Their latest resolution is to raise a loan of \ £2,000 and a poll is to be taken on 9th Sep-1 tember. The "cheap John" who lately visited' Auckland with his splendid equipage has i left the colony with a clear profit of 1.4,000. ; More Auckland patents. Mr John Clare, j of Richmond Road, applies for a patent for' an invention for coating timber or con-! Crete ; also an invention for better regulat-; ing the pressure and supply of gas, and I another invention for an improved fuse, to' bo called "Duolite." i Hope of better times in the New Zealand; frozen meat trade. The Hon. R. Phamyn,: who has just returned from London, says, that New Zealand mutton is gaining, ground because of its superiorqaality, and he believes a good opening: fpj tradft exists ' on the continent of Europe, where the quality of meat is usually poor. A San Francisco builder is making hand-. some pressed brick out of coal-ashes and cinders. These bricks have stood tbo severest tests for strength, and are made without baking or burning. David Ironsides, a fireman employed on the railway in Taranaki, was accidentally ; killed yesterday afternoon by falling off the : engine and fracturing his skull. He was en- ! gaged to be married next week. The (brick)-" burning question " of tho : hour is—>" Is Ponsonby district only fit to j be a brickyard ?" Councillor Crowther and Mr W. J. Courtenay have got the debate i on hand.

Rev. Alex. McKenzie, late minister of Avondale Presbyterian Church, has taken j to farming. Ah, I see; abandoned "pastoral "foragri- i cultural pursuits. Hope he may some dayj return to his muttons. The Grosvenor Gallery pictures are tolje; exhibited in Sydney, Melbourne, and Ade- j laide, and are then to be sent to New Zea- j land. I Wairarapa advices say that " Bunny's, prospects are good." How can that be ? Why, I see that Mr ! Henry Chamberlin.of Parnell.is patentee of a new device for sweeping " bunny " off ther face of the earth. That's a different sort of bunny ; the one I mean is the Parliamentary candidate for Wairarapa. Mr Chamberlin's idea of rabbit exter mination is a novel one. By his patent,. the male rabbits are to be armed in such! a way that th«y will destroy the does and i their young. Poor Bunny ! Like the snakes in Sfc. I Patrick's time, he is to be made to commitr suicide '' to save himself from slaughter." Sir Geo. Grey is having most enthusiastic meetings in the various towns of Canter bury. The WelKngtori'^'l^e'ss1" considers flic Knight of Kawau the most formidable op ponent of the Government. . .... - ■'• There is a revival of* g6ld miningaefcivfty in (Jreymouth district; several new eem panies are being floated. A fee of 10 guineas is in future to be charged for placing new companies, other, than mining companies, on the list of the Melbourne Stock Exchange. It is remarked as curious that all the candidates favoured by Wellington Indus trial Association are Ministerial supporters. Wife—Oh, doctor, Benjamin seems to be wandering in his mind ! Doctor (who knows Benjamin)— Don't trouble about that—he can't go far. A report in this morning's paper speaks about "two-thirds of a steam launch " being sent to Kimberley, while the minority re mained in Auckland and kicked, aa minori ties generally do ! Mr William Service, of Auckland, is patentee of a " parcel post box," designed for the safe carriage of parcels. Wonder if it could carry the 60 tons of luggage that the Majeroni dramatic company carry about with them ? Waikato girl—" 0 I 0!" Auckland girl —"What's the matter?" "That man winked at me." "That handsome man over there?" "Yes, the brute!" "Brute? I should say he was a brute. He didn'fc even look at me." A contemptible action for contempt of Court is reported from Melbourne by cable. Thotsos D^Wto, % contottuUr, having a yard alongside the Supreme Court, mis been summoned by the Chief Justice for contempt of Court in refusing to stop his workmen making a noice by hammering to the annoyance of the Court. He did quite right to hold that Court in contempt. He is surely entitled to carry on his business, though it) should annoy twenty Chief Justices. The Court can " move on " if it doesn't like the locality, The " yellow agony " has taken a new shape. Chinese capitalists are said to be taking away the business of the foreign banks at Foochoo by lending money at ex traordinarily low rafcw of interest.
