TABLE TALK.

...» . - Polling day. The final struggle. To-night will tell the tale. •• Multitudes in the valley of decision." ; Of course, the best men will all be " re- ■ turned !" : Yes, but where —to Parliament or to their homes ?. ' " Guy Mannering" at the Opera House; to-night. The results of elections will be announced. Since its formation, the British National i Lifeboat Institution has saved the grand! total of 32,671 lives. Farewell tea to Mrs Dudley Ward by! ladies of the Kindergarten on Wednesday i evening. ! Light criminal calendar at Wellington. Eleven light charges against ten prisoners. A lot of Auckland clergymen touched up! election topics yesterday. One of them declared that " vox populi ; vox dei" Avas exploded humbug ; but it's • the " vox populi" that will settle matters! to-day, Deo volente or otherwise. : i Speaking of election cartoons, the: "Herald" says "some are witty and: artistic, others are scurrilous and in bad taste." Of course those on our side are " witty," and those on the other side " scurrilous." Mr William Mason is mentioned as a candidate for the mayoralty of Wellington. The Industrial Exhibition in Auckland' is now closed ; but Mr Bell will still keep the rooms open to show samples of local manufactures, etc. Sir George Grey is up and about in Wel lington, looking in good health and ready for Parliamentary work. Pork is declared unclean at Parihaka, and Te Whiti has been presented with 2000 head of cattle. The Maori who was found "strung up" with a supplejack, near Sandon, lias been identified as a chief, who is believed to have committed suicide. A Chinese Christian, Lo Yang Vi, was lately executed in Yunnan to satisfy the clamour of the gentry and literary classes of the province. Sir Julius Vogel had a big meeting at) Napier on Saturday night, and a vote of. confidence in the Government was carried triumphantly. A movement is on foot to establish a public gymnasium at Wellington. Aboub: £300 has collected already towards thab object. Golden pellets are being found in the Puriri River, in Thames district. The geese there don't exactly lay golden eggs, but the hardy miners extract "flakes' of gold" from the gizzards of these foolish birds. Ha! That story rather sticks in my, gizzard I If that is true, there is no need' to look out for cheaper and more effective systems of gold extraction. A letter of Eugene Aram, who was exe cuted for murdering Daniel Clarke in 1759,. has just been sold in London, together with a portion of Clarke's skull, a bone of Eugene Aram, and a box made from the wood of Aram's gibbet ! Russia is taking part in the great indus trial war. She has raised the import duty on iron and steel, and on articles manufac tured in whole or in part from those metals, from 25 to 30 per cent. Queen Olga, of Greece, is fond of swim ming, and a pond lined with white marble is to be constructed in the grounds of the palace at Athens, so that the Queen can dis port herself with her attendants. England's female population exceeds her male population by a million, and marriage is on the decline in the British, isles. A dozen years ago out of every 1,000: English men and women seventeen at least used to go annually to the altar ; now,how ever, the number that do so is not fifteen. A good idea for enforcing the ready money. system has been adopted by some local shopkeepers. They stick a clock-face up in: a prominent position in their stores, with.' the words " No Tick" boldly printed under: or above it. The customers "catch on" to the double entendre at once.
