AUCKLAND, N.Z., WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Bisnop Sklwyn left this afternoon. Mr Moss at St, Andrew's schoolroom to-' night. Mr Vaile on the railway question at the V.M.C.A. Trout to be liberated in Lake Takapuna. Heavy rains and thick fog in Dunedin yesterday. That " nor'-easter " predicted by Captain Edwin seems inclined to spare Auckland.,' A heavy " nor'-wester " has been blowing in Wellington district. ° Ice an inch thick in the Waikato. The Grey River in roaring flood, damag ing property and blocking roads. , The above items give a fair idea of the varied samples of weather that we have in New Zealand. . Confirmation services at St Paul's to night, at 7.30. ' Sir George Grey is to speak to-morrow night on the land question, local industries, retrenchment and railways. Hint to Professor Hugo. Rev. T. W. Dunn is giving public phrenological delinea tions of the character of Parliamentary can didates at Dunedin. Auckland folks would like to know what is in the heads of the would-be members. Mr F. Larkins retires from the firm of McArthur and Co., and starts business in London on his own account. He leaves for London in the course of several weeks. "So you are 13 years old, are you, Jenny ?" " Yes ; and I now realise that it is an unlucky number. It's too old for dolls, and pa says' it is not old enough for gentlemen's society." . • Somebody estimates that every man who lives to be 60 years old has spent seven months buttoning his shirt collar. Thirty more ought to be added for hunting up the collar stud. Hawks are becoming plentiful in New- Zealand, and are to be allowed full liberty to multiply in Auckland district. The Acclimatisation Society cannoti afford to pay the increasing demand for bonus for killing these birds of prey and will discontinue their reward for hawks' heads. Timaru folks are howling for a rifle range, the former one having been closed on ac count of its danger. There are too few Scotchmen in New Zealand, according to some folks. They have the upper hand in Otago, and one of them mercilessly attacks English pronunciation in the following essay on the temperance question :— —"Liquor is like the word 'deviL Lefa hit be has hit his, hand hit his ' devil' ; take away 'd' hand hit his • hevil' (evil; homit the ' he' (c) hand hit his ' vii' (vile)., drop the 'v' hand hit his '.hil' (il); hand hif you take hoff the ' hi' (i) then hit his { hel' (1). And so you can make honly han. hil (il), hevil (evil), vil, hil (il) devil houb hof hit, because hit begins with the ' devil * hand hends hin ' hel' heneway.' . An honourable " lord " lately had a sn.eer • at a brother M.L.C. by requesting him to speak the English language so that ap Englishman could understand him. The subject of the sneer was a Scotchman. ~",-, At the Adelaide Jubilee Exhibition, the New Zealand exhibits ready in position for the opening: were a cabinet, by Payne, of Auckland, I)anneford's kauri gum, green stone, and curio exhibit, the Caxtqn Print ing Company's frames, Stone and Son's publications, J. S. Reid's patent wire strainers, and some cheeses from the Gore Dairy Factory Company. An inquiry is proceeding into the Blen heim fire and will probably last for several days. '. An uncertificated " Dr. Pill "at Sydney is on trial on a charge of manslaughter—a child for whom he prescribed having died. Companion to "The White Doe of Ryl stone." At Tauranga the natives have' caught a beautiful white phantom deer. Mr N. G. Barnott, composer of the new comic opera " Pomare," gave a very success ful organ recital at Sydney on 25th June. ■ Advance Auckland ship-building indus try ! Over L 2,000 left in this city within the last two weeks as purchase money of vessels. A series of lectures are to be given at the Industrial Exhibition. Mr Federli opens the ball to-morrow evening, and Messrs Bell, Frazer, Howden, Lodder, Mason, Martin, Pond, Purbrook, Smith, and Symons have consented to follow with lectures on in dustrial subjects. Lord Brassey is of opinion that the work' of the Imperial Federation League would ba of little value unless approved and sup ported by public opinion in the colonies. The wisest solution will probably be found in gradual piecemeal action, but he wished to pave the way by temperate discussion. i The Hon. Thomas Russell will shortly re- ; turn to England. ~-'-,. ■ Henry Holder, after trying to murder i Miss McGilton, near Red Hill, South Aus- 1 itralin, the other day, cut his own throa(j> from ear to ear. The girl is in a precarious ,, Jstate. During the year ending 30th September, j 1886, there were carried on the street rail-' ways of New York city 325,427,015 passen-! gers. This is by far the greatest passenger traffic of any city in the world, although New York is not the largest city.
