TABLE TALK.

Poor City West. Deserted by Dargaville. I'm rather sorry for Marsden. Why not be sorry for Mitchelson ? Don't run away with the idea thab Ed win's claim is jumped. Well, it'looks very like it. • What's your theory ? Why, Mitchelson wants a city seat, and Dargaville a rural one, so they have agreed upon a change—city and rural, don't you see—tooral-ooral. Policemen have votes now—fully en franchised precious political privileges etc. Yes; but they must "observe neutrality in political matters." How are they to do this ? " Plump" for Stout and Vogel of course J the one neutralises the other ! Even with the franchise a policeman's lot is not a happy one ! New reading of an old rhyme— " Little 80-peep baa lost her sheep, . And doesn't know where to find 'em; She ought to have kept a watch on her sheop, And then they'd come home to wind 'em i* I see; a waterbury watch, you mean, for it takes ten minute 3to wind upthose chrono-' meters. . Splendid muscular excerise for "our boys ! ,

There are a gross of male prisoners in Mount .Eden- Gaol, and only eleven females. ••.:■.

At Timaru the price of gas for " Jubilee purposea only " is to be reduced, and in consequence a large number of persons in tend to illuminate their business premises. No fireworks in Auckland on Jubilee night. : The committee have decided that Mount Eden is too far away, and the residents adjacent that Albert Park is too near. It is so hard, you know, to strike tho ■ happy medium. . ; A torch-light procession is to be held in-! stead. Fire Brigade to be in attendance. ; In the good old days a few of the ; M.H.R.'s would have been burned in effigy upon Barrack Hill. Hurrah! the millennium is afe hand. .

How's that ?

Why, a University professor has been suggesting that the Museum should be run for the benefit of the general public rather than of the natural history specialists. Can such things be ? Yes ; and not only that; he also objects to Latin names only being affixed to the specimens on exhibition. The next thing we shall hear will pro bably be a suggestion that the University should be run for the benefit of the general public, and not the professors. There are 150,000 persons engaged in one capacity or another in London theatres and music halls.

John E. Kelly, M.L.A. for the Bogan, N.S.W., who is himself about 48, boasts that his father, grandfather, arid grand mother were born in Australia. '

Tom Bracken lectures on the "Queen's Jubilee" on the 13th at Wellington. ■• j Paddy Murphy " will have a ,hard job to keep "coercion out of his head that night. * I Jubilee meetings held in Wales have ter minated—with scarcely an exception —in groans and laughter. The exceptional cases yere marked by a lavish display of .rottea eggs. * '*■'?*''- ,^-j- Kather demonstrative lot the Taffies ! At one place they fall down" and worship Mr Gladstone, and at another they almost drum him out of the town.

Her Majesty's name was hissed the other evening at a Jubilee Fund meeting at Llanelly, and an amendment was carried de claring that no steps should be taken to commemorate the Jubilee year.

; Otahuhu Road Board has resolved to call ior tenders for repairing the Great South Road. ;

A youth of 18 years of age has been ap prehended atXhristchurch on a charge of burglary. An Australian centenarian. The " Mel bourne Argus " of a recent date chronicles the death of Mrs Mary Hannan, aged 107 years. A tussle with a boarding-house steak is now called a "bull-fight." ■At a sitting of the Supreme Court in Bankruptcy yesterday motion for proof of debt in Robert Jenkinson's estate was granted. ■ c. The capital punishment law in Maine has been repealed. Oh, they'll repeal anything there, since they repealed the liquor licensing laws. ■ Cook Licensing Committee, Wellington, has granted licences to three hotels which were closed by the previous committee.

Justice Ward will arrive in Auckland from Wellington on Thursday next. A man without brains frequently has the most imposing headstone when he is dead.

So says an American paper, but it mighfj have gone further and said that men with out brains frequently have the biggeafc salaries while alive!

At a Protection League meeting in Dun& din last night, a Free Trade speaker waa hissed down.

Misfortunes never come singly; wooden legs are a misfortune ; ergo ] A one-legged expressman named Clifford was' thrown from his cart at Wellington yesterday, and sustained injuries which will deprive him'of his remaining leg. Oamaru folks met last night and passed a lot of "retrenchment" resolutions, include ing reduction of members of the Lower House, . and abolition of salary to the ♦'Lords." .

An Auckland gentleman offers to give £25 towards the fund of the Jnbilee collec tion of pictures, provided that a.similar amount oe received from nine other sub scribers, making a total of £250. Hope " the sacred nine " will be found ! Still crowded houses at " The Mikado."

The Radical Reformers are active.
