AUCKLAND, N.Z M FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1887.

PMCE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

Foley's farewell to-night. Caledonian ball and bal masque. Bagpipes, tartan, hose, and feather. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and Mohawk Minstrels. "On the job."—Sir George Grey on Point Resolution. Grammar School sports at the-Domain to day. Herr yon der Lasza, the chess player, is now at Napier. Nelson folks speak about the " provident) combustion " in Auckland.

As a way of describing arson, " provident combustion " is decidedly good !. An Auckland Councillor thinks the evil can be checked by analysing the smoke. His proposal rather hung fire, however, and ended in smoke, as was to be ex pected.

The London unemployed are subsiding, but the sturdy beggars of Christchurch are still active.

Christchurch unemployed last night re solved that the Government should provida work without delay in order to afford tem porary relief.

Mr C.F. Reid, who was articled to Messrs Jackson and Russell, solicitors, Auckland, has passed his final law examination.

The proposed sham fight at Mangere on the Prince of Wales' Birthday has been abandoned ; want of the " sinews of war" is the cause.

To relieve the depression the Govern ment propose to encourage emigration to their new dependency, the Kermadec Islands.

Authorities are agreed that there is room on those islands for three families, one cow, and two goats ! Advance, Kermadecs !

The Auckland Cricket Association has obtained authority to charge entrance fee 3 at the Domain cricketground on 9th Novem ber next.

Surprise—consternation—approval! Such are the mixed feelings of Napier people on learning that the B.N.Z. pays no dividend just now.

John Ruskin says .- " When I see a girl dancing I thank Heaven." Pity John can't go to the ball to-night! The ringleaders in the recent plot to assassinate Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria have been arrested.

It was Desdemona who looked into Othello's face and repeated the immortal words, " Let me kiss him for his mother."

Mr J. H. Cock, Chairman of Nelson Chamber of Commerce, speaks hopefully of the prospects of colonial trade. A correspondent writes with reference to the present Ministry enjoying tho right to the title of " The Sporting Ministry." He says that Fred Richardson was the leading racing man in Southland 25 years ago ; ne owned and rode a mare called " Speargrass," always to the front. Mrs Nouveau Riche—Aw, yes, that's very pretty, but I don't like the title, "Common Prayer." Haven't you—aw— any other kind ? I don't care how much I have to pay. Auckland Diocesan Synod opens on Wed nesday next. This will be the last that Bishop Cowie will attend prior tb his leav ing for England to be present at the Con ference of Anglican Bishops which is to b& held in Lambeth Palace.

Mrs Mark "Walkeiri, widow of the well - kuown New Zealand landowner of thab name, died at Lemington on the 15th Sep tember, in the 56th year of her age. . A writer says that the overtaxing of children is one of the evils of the age. Some property holders think that the over taxing of parents is about as bad. Mr W. Errington, the Dock Engineer, has recovered from his illness, and made a visit of inspection to the Calliope Dock works yesterday. Mr Lanigan, contractor, is removing the coffer dam. A popular writer, who sometimes had a bad "spell," wrote the name of the illus trious author of " Pilgrim's Progress " as "John Bunion." His publishers suggested that it be put in a footnote. *

Shawand Shrewsbury's Australian cricket team were to sail from London by the s.s. Iberia on September 17. The same vessel was to take out the Melbourne Club's combination.

Wellington College Governors, with a view to retrenchment, have decided to re duce the staff both of the Wellington College and Girls' School to the extent of one teacher at each institution.

"The King of Greece does not want to sib on his fchrOne any longer," says the cable, which also announces that he goes roller-skating. Perhaps the King's feet slipped out from under him too suddenly. A petition is being prepared by fruit growers and others in Central Otago urging the Government to grant them some pro tection. At Coal Creek there are ten con servatories for the nursing of grapes. " My dear, why are the eggs always hard at breakfast now ?" asked Mr Snaggs. "They must be eggs of the new hens, re plied Mrs Snaggs, thoughtfully. "The new hens. Why should their eggs be hard?" "They are Plymouth Rocks, you know."

A Russian inventor has.devised means of so impregnating wood with a certain chemical that" matches from it can be used several times over, thus effecting a saving of at least 75 per" cent."
