TABLE TALK.

I o ■ Sir Robert Stout is "amazed." Afc his own rashness, eh ? - ■ Last nighb of "Fedora" afc the Opeis^ House. ? i^i Mr Geo. Leifcch's new play, "■V^D.daj 1* will next be staged. , w Revenge is "sweet," and so is sugar. ' *; Fcance and Germany are engaged if! ajr sugar bounty war. ' French manufacturers say that German? 'i will beat them if the beeb-roob sugar bounties are abolished. j| They consequently urgo France to beeftf'l rootto her own interests. (Should such a*! pun go un " pun " ished ?) ■< It was reported yes'cer'day that a GermanH ring; was buying up all the brandy ; to i»Uh 1S ?tafce^ fchat another German syndi-1 cato has bought up all the sugar. 1 *Jh ISi Byn<ricafces/ that the sons of the\ brtdtSdy! gCmS " f°ra HaddW/ ar\^»g to export thafr ;X to En^ n d, where a water famine lf rw t er *rjse of the protracted drought. Mr W. -HA-vington.City Engineer, is suffer-'' mg from. a severe attack of rheumatism. o Jj F^ g°ld-min "ig " boom "at Thames ana l is expected soon. | ferocious Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, vf] getting quite cowed by the Czar an*' b-ultan. Prince Albert yon Wrede has started dr greengrocery shop near Vienna; means to1 make money by it too. | What a pity that Ferdinand did nod adopt some such.honest calling instead of troubling Europe over the Bulgarian ques tion ! i Tem2)usfugit. \ Well, what about tempus, fudge it ? Oh, merely that the Regatta Club Com- • mittee meet to-night at the Waitemata,' Hotel to draw up the annual programme, a»i sign that summer is near. j On dit that the schooner race is to tfer re-instated. \ The Caucasian—(not " Circassian," gentre pnnter)—is not yet " played out." An in-! surance agent at Dunedin has, it is said,1! succeeded in robbing a Chinaman. ' j P h» my ! What an incautious statement' t\ I had quite forgotten the law of libel; in • Quoensland ib is criminal to accuse a man' of being a Celestial. I should have said that an insurance agent has been committed for trial on an alleged charge of robbing an " alleged Chinaman !" "JKarty O'Rarry " afc the Supreme Courib again to-morrow. i Who cares a Button for Karty O'Rarry, or any other Irishman? Bar "Timl Doolan," ay coorse ! ! You don't understand: I allude to Mr Button's motion for a writ of certiorari in the Jubilee Hotel case. It isn't I who " doctor " tho Lafin expression and make it Celtic. The. British Government is adopting self-winding clocks for new public build ings. ■~,>, The Rev. Matena. Waiti, a Maori Wes» leyan minister, died at Oruawharo, Kaipara, on the 26th inst., at the early age of 28. - Three men and a woman have been com mitted for trial on the charge of house breaking at Chriatchurch. Dublin statistics prove that the annual mortality among children under five yearfc of age is five times as great _among th£ working population as in the professional and independent classes. i Sergeant Gamble, Inspector of Weights and Measures, has been gambolling at> Pukekohe of late, and has seized some very "scaly" weights in use there. "Our own Henry George," as the Hon. Mr Ballance has been dubbed, is publishing a pamphlet on land nationalisation. The ancient and indecent Maori is in de mand. A bookselling firm has offered to buy from the Government the whole edi tion of Mr White's "Ancient History of the Maori," which has been condemned as indecent. ',-,,! Captain Connor, of the s. s. Maori, has been appointed Harbour-Master at Greymouth. j Goldsmith's comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer," is to be performed by the Auck-j land Dramatic Society for the benefit of the Kindergarten School. j The Hon. John Ballance- expects to spend; a few days in Auckland prior to the elec-! tions. ,! An ex-police constable, named Rosen-, grave, has been committed for trial from theFootscray (Vie.) Police Court, on the charge of having set fire to his house with intent to defraud the Insurance Society. At Gisborno they pay the Dog Registrar by results, and he recently reported that he had registered 1,200 dogs and killed 230. An inquisitive councillor wanted to know how they checked the " executioner" account, and the clerk stated that the tails were brought to him and he counted them. "Ye 3," he added, " and they do, smell too." Fancy the Lord High Executioner of Auckland having to lay before the Town Clerk the high-smelling caudal appendages of all his victims ! More charitable aid revelations in Auckland. They have the same difficulty at Dunedin, where it is proposed to intro duce tho labour test in connection with persons obtaining assistance from tha Benevolent Committee. Applicants, on re ceiving assistance, will be asked to do work equivalent to the relief.
